Memory Come When Memory's Old

Barren broken landscape stretched out before the wraith as her emerald eyes pierced through the veil of her own thoughts. Tension still rolled down her shoulders as she moved with the confident grace of a battle hardened goddess. She sought battle, she sought prey, and she sought something she could not name and feared to name and it beat within her breast like a second heart.
She slowed carefully to a stop suddenly aware that she was not alone. But as to what creature lingered so near she was uncertain. The air was calm, no breeze to carry scent and her nostrils flared. The sun was setting across from her, it's fading orange light seeming to glow with a vibrant fever in the heated haze of spring that was swiftly turning into summer. She growled lightly. D?gmar was a beast of ice and snow, a creature born to the chill bosom of winter. She did not look forward to this change in seasons.

It moved like something dead, strung along the flow of fate with no direction or will of it's own. D?gmar's eyes narrowed as she took in the form of the half dead male. It would be mercy to kill him now but her queen wanted "decorations" in the form of trophy's as a testament to D?gmar's battle skills as well as her blood lust. The death of this whelp would satisfy neither requirement. And yet, as often was the case, her curiosity tickled at her brain. What was a creature of such age doing out on his own anyway? He was a yearling, a rather large one at that and a fighters build. The gears in her mind began to click and hiss.
She knew some basic first aid, as a warrior and Marquis that was practically a requirement. However, she didn't know enough to fully help the boy. He'd need to be taken to a healer to recover and she struggled to recall if Elysium even had one.
"What desire moves a decaying body forward? What do you cling to life for, boy?"

He swayed and tottered as he came to a halt before her. She could see his mind struggle to process what lay before him, longing for death that his body refused to give him. The instinct to survive was the boys master but his subconscious was not without a knife in the dark and that knife was tipped with the name Esti. Hmm? D?gmar's memories trickled through her calculating gaze. Come to think of it she remembered seeing a female that looked similar to this boy? smelt similar. She'd attacked the girl when she was delirious with plague.
"No." D?gmar said coldly as he spoke the name to her. She was not Esti. The wraith stood still and quiet in her deadly patience as the boy struggled to process the femme that stood before him.
I don't. It refuses to let go of me.
"Then you have unfinished business. Business you can not complete walking the wastes like a ghost. Come. Your wounds need tending." The order was swift and sharp and she turned slightly, eyes watching him carefully for his answer.

ooc: i didn't figure you'd want an actual fight but let me know and I'll edit
Cold eyes watched him like a vulture eyeing a dying carcass. My, my he was stubborn. The boy moved to go past her as he continued on in his aimless, wandering and for a moment she considered letting him go. What could she do with a zombie anyway? Of what use could he be to her? But then he was well built and his body was strong even if his mind was failing. And hell? it wasn't like his mind was that necessary. She could mold him into what she needed but first he would have to come with her. Even if that meant she had to drag him back kicking and screaming? though the later was unlikely. He was little more than a shell.
As Laufey started to move past her right side D?gmar twisted her neck to the right, gaping jaws aiming to get a hold of the boys scruff. Her intent was to catch hold and yank him back before releasing. Even if she missed perhaps he'd pay more attention when snapping jaws aimed at him.
"I'll take you to Esti you idiot. Now pay attention and follow me."
