years are no longer pocket change and days no longer fleeting thoughts when a mind is occupied with healing wounds scratched deep into the soul, with pain and hunger and thirst more prevalent than centuries have known, but strongest of all is loss; of role and purpose, of foe and ally, and of years that could have been, of a different life that will never now be known, and of one never now to be seen again; expurged and sanctified to be mortal once more.

reputations thrust aside for the sake of a whisper, threaded between the eyes of needles like gossamer; harpoons deep sunk into flesh, barbed tips taking hold of heart and soul, as life is exchanged for life and life prevails over ressentiment; a message to an old friend with promise to pass along and a farewell to a rival with words yet unspoken. it's over.
