The Bloodied Moon

There was no doubt, as she watched the two lovers what was going on. Bane was dying. Destruction squeezed her good eye closed, her breath catching in her throat. The wind seemed all the colder now. So harsh and biting... The mood around them... She felt something in her break. This was her family. Her kin. She had not loved Bane as Tahlia had, but the femme had strong feelings for him sure enough. They had a child together. A child who would soon get to see his father again.

Each thought brought more and more pain to her heart. Destruction hadn’t even noticed the boys arrive... Couldn’t bring herself to call for Anais. She couldn’t stand to stay here anymore. As much as she cared for them... Part of her still felt that it was wrong to be with Bane and Tahlia’s family now. An intruder. She would spin away, eye opening just slightly as the tears fell. She couldn’t stay here any longer. She could not drag her grieving friend down further with her own emotions. Her own unsaid words.

So Destruction fled, a limping, frantic motion that sent flurries behind her. She would grieve where none of them would see... And... Perhaps pay a certain grave a visit as well.
