Hello Talaxin dear,
How have you been?
- @shashara-the-scholar
*freezes*
Greyer than grey, my love.
I would've thought you'd be as pink as flesh to see me back.
Perhaps this time it is real, and I will have colours brighter than sunlight through glass. I am never sure I did the right thing, my love. It is my fault. I am sorry.
*takes your hand*
sorry about what, my light?
Don't worry, it's real, I'm here, I'm real.
*barely above a whisper*
I killed you, colour of my life.
Talaxin, you sound like red on green, what in Edgli's name are you talking about?
After the Battle of the Twilight Falls, you wanted to share the recipe for Nightblood. Do you not remember this?
Battle of Twilight Falls? You're not making any sense, Tax.
*several moments unable to speak*
'Shara, love. Nightblood and I killed you.
You? Kill me?
Don't be ridiculous dear, why would you do that?
I'm not being ridiculous, Shashara. Hate me if you will. Because I did kill you. And I thought it was the right thing. And regretted it ever after. Because I'm dim as darkness.
Ugh, please stop wallowing in self-hatred.
I'm pretty sure I would remember something like you killing me.
'Shara. Oh 'Shara. Would I lie? Can you not trust me here? You did die, and it was my hand and that sword.
It is that you are alive, my love, that I can scant believe. I could melt into your arms, for the centuries past when I could not. I itch to study every last bit of the mystery of your resurrection with you. But I cannot in good conscience if you do not understand the truth.
*puts my hand against your face*
Talaxin, calm down, focus, whatever happened, it's all gone now, I'm back. We can be together again.
*closes eyes and just sinks into hand*
I love you, d'you know that?
I know that, Talaxin
How long has it been, for you?
I'm not sure, time... Has been difficult.
What do you remember?
I remember creating Nightblood, and the war, but everything after that gets pale.
Check the year. It has been centuries since then, 'Shara. I am nearing a thousand years. Can you believe that? So much has happened in between.
...centuries?
Centuries, love.
I'm sorry, I need to sit down for a minute to process that.
*holds your hand*
Take your time.
Thank you
How are you feeling about this now, Shara?
Confused, shocked.
What happened while I was gone?
*unsure of where to begin*
So, in the widest scale, Ati and Leras are dead. Their Shards have merged into a new one, called Harmony. The Elantrians lost and regained their power. There's a sect of scadrians devoted religiously to an allomancer who (effectively) Returned. Rayse is dead. Honor and Odium have merged into Retribution, and our old plan of settling in Roshar isn't really working out. There's a time bubble and no more storms. Retribution may escape the Rosharan system. The Silverlight wants nothing to do with this. The trickster's been being annoying (what else is new?).
I adopted as an apprentice a girl named Lift. She really likes pancakes. She fought off a full Feurochemist who attacked her. You'll love her. There's also a really depressed new Herald who's really friendly.
Of course Dust is still around, why am I unsurprised.
You have a daughter now?
She's Rosharan. An edgedancer. 'Bout as rude and crass as me, which is good 'cause I won't scare her off.
Aww, that's sweet
