Will Solace

*I say nothing, but take an arrow from my quiver as I hold my bow*

[She blinked a few times, taking a few more steps back.] "Will?"

[They barely dodged it as they jumped aside, the arrow gracing her bicep, looking at the arrow with wide eyes.] "... The fuck was that for?" [she muttered, gripping her injured bicep.]

"I was told....to... I'm so sorry..."

"You were told to kill your own sister? Seriously?" [Archer blinked at him with furrowed brows, her palm glowing to heal the cut on her arm.]

"He...told me..."

"Who?"

"the man's voice..."

"What man's voice?"

"I can't say..."

"You're going to tell me exactly who you're talking about, William," [Archer whispered to him as she rolled her shoulder to test the soreness.] "You're going to tell me who told you to shoot me, and you're telling me now."

"you... wouldn't understand... He speaks telepathically..."

"So? He can just- I don't know, get in my head too or something like that?"

"I was chosen...to do what I did... that...was a plague arrow.."

"I'm PERFECTLY aware of your abilities because I happen to have them too- but what the fuck-" [Archer raised her voice slightly, furrowing her brows as she spread her arms in anger.] "What the fuck compelled you to shoot your own sister with that thing?!"

"he said you'd be mad...that you're not able to help...if I asked for it...I expected your wrath rather than your care..but that's not what's important."

"I haven't heard from Neeks in a while... besides he wouldn't do that. Fine, some primordial god told me, he was invading my thoughts...he..., never mind, I would really recommend reporting to a Healer soon if you want to better your odds..."

"you're...sad..."

"No- no, I'm just..." [she glanced around the floor again, exhaling shakily.]

"What, then?? Oh and you have a week or two fyi"

"How reassuring..."

"You said you were something..what?"

"People die no matter what I do sometimes! Besides, why do you care?"

"I'm afraid...I know this isn't me..but I'm afraid... Kronos...said...I think ...I don't know what's happening...I think.. there's a sunset... within..me"

"I'm not understanding- what does Kronos have to do with this? Is he the one making you act this way?"

"Shit..." [she whispered.]

"My heart aches, I have failed so many times to help others.... I feel...heavy... I'm worried about Nico...my light ray isn't as bright..."

[She swallowed the saliva in her mouth, raising her free hand to hold his other upper arm.] "Go on," [Archer whispered gently to him.]

"I'm just...not... normal...but whatever."

[Archer sighed and glanced down at the floor, glancing to the side and eventually looked at him again directly.] "What uh- what happened? With Nico?"

"I... don't know. That's the thing..."

[She tilted her head, furrowing her brows again.] "what?"

"I... just feel...dark ..."

"He's not dead, right...?"

"no idea.."

"Mm..."

"you... might want to look out for plague signs..."

"Yeah, thanks for that."

"or not"

"Or not what?"

"nothing...."

“Tell me.”

"nevermind."

"Tell me, please."

"the sun shines brightly after a dark night..." I say softly, in an attempt to change the subject

"But, what do you do when it's cloudy as heck?"

"Stay inside, I guess?"

"I meant metaphorically and emotionally.."

“I do that too in the emotional aspect.”

"I'm so sorry..."

*I say nothing, but take an arrow from my quiver as I hold my bow*

[She blinked a few times, taking a few more steps back.] "Will?"

[They barely dodged it as they jumped aside, the arrow gracing her bicep, looking at the arrow with wide eyes.] "... The fuck was that for?" [she muttered, gripping her injured bicep.]

"I was told....to... I'm so sorry..."

"You were told to kill your own sister? Seriously?" [Archer blinked at him with furrowed brows, her palm glowing to heal the cut on her arm.]

"He...told me..."
