â i was willing to drown for her. â { WINKS }
     he knows who, without needing more. the sorceress that begun it all, who started the fall into war  &  death  &  regret, she who laughed at his forces as they fought for what they believed in. as they fought for WHO they believed in without their free will being  cruely taken from them without second thought or concern. her laugh, voice, her words, he remembers them all --- every single one.
     the playfully degrading tone, the demands from forces commanded as she sat back  &  watched  ;  the twisted, broken, disturbing temple she resided in. he remembers with clarity that he despises, when other memories fog around it. itâs as if she was meant, specifically, to stick out in his mind like a sore thumb. eyes downcast, lost in thought of what he doesnât want to remember, but here he sits --- doing exactly THAT. Â
     ( his heart beats, chest tightens  &  stomach churns. whether itâs hatred or uncomfortable sickness doesnât matter, it all feels the same. )
     a silence overtakes them both, thickening the air by one degree too many, the warrior overtaken by the clawed grasp inside him.  he feels ashamed for it. so much time had passed since he was so self conscious in front of the beast,  &  yet now, when the witch is mentioned, it all comes crumbling down.Â
      â ....... plea ... â  heâs quiet, too quiet to be heard, clearing his voice as his head dips. arms move to cross, but instead end up more to hold onto each other.  â please -- please, donât .. n-ot her. not about h-her. â    please, shut up.Â
