          if she were to say that she had not expected to see him then she’d be lying . her gift of foresight allowed to see most of all to come whether it be unto her or others . she knew that he were to appear and she was alone . seeing his face made heart fall . her duty was to the royal family --- to serve the king and she had done so for many generations and centuries . she had hoped she would have served him , once upon a time . . . but the path she saw for him --- his destiny --- had been a dark one and he’d never be king . what had she done ? listened to the astrals and abandoned him . for that , she carried the guilt with her . ❝ . . . ardyn . . . ❞ came a soft , sad voice .

  when he spoke those words , it was as though came into rough focus in a halo of light and nostalgia . a rough , eviscerating howl that tore through her soul how much had changed . what was once a verdant jungle ensconced in mountains had scarce little that still remained , kingdoms worn in belts that girdled plains and lived amid such richness . she thought of her home , and what had been lived in him , with him . where nights had been spent within tea houses , at rest upon divans and silks where plumes of hashish smoke and the sweetness of jasmine and plum blossom proliferated in cherished fragrance .   where was that now ? the sunlight she’d seen ensconced in eyes trimmed gold and solar were no more , honed to coldness more cutting than the glacian’s chilly winters . she felt the shards of his voice leave blisters and charred marks upon her flesh , once beloved with gentle touches and whispery kisses lighter than butterfly feet . agni gazed upon her beloved and she felt cold . a frigidity that was her own despite the burning passions of love swiftly converted to an ugly vengeance .  he did not belong here any more than she did .  hands inexorably found his face and inky trails stained her hands that could burn and cauterize the wretch he’d become , could boil his blood until it evaporated and he was little else than a charred mark upon the earth until his revival . eyes of once tender forests , of spring grasses , were the razor’s edge of emerald . she drew him near , the scant difference in height closed with the touch of lips , his skin tasting like preservatives and wax , of copper and salt ; not the spice and sweetness and wine once upon it .  ‘ nor is it for you , ouyomi . ‘

In his eyes shines the color of the sun, golden rays of liquid light.He sees these noble hues, and he’s reminded of the long strands of halcyon.The way they warm the land each morning at dawn.Once they were full of life,kindness, modesty,of a glee he will never dare to forget.He’s the only one of the two that bears the same eyes of his mother.And it pains Ramuh, it pains Ramuh so much, regret pierces his old bones like rotten nails,as if remorse were and illness,and he can only watch and remember.How can the Astrals judge mortals for their sins for they are not free of mischief themselves?Words aren’t needed. The Son knows them all, he knows the truth, he know them by heart,because his desire of vengeance runs deep.And the Deity understands. He understands the hatred, the pain, but he can not condone. (As he could not let his brother free from the Underworld cradling his beloved in his arms, bringing the darkness to the surface, as he could not do anything but try even if he understood, love, hate, pain, he could comprehend all of that(but still fought)and he regrets, he regrets that time he did nothing but watch as Titan closed the door on her, that one act the started it all.)Sometimes, when the blessed one calls him, when he shields him from his own power with his palm, he let his gaze wander where their body lie; fire and stone, smoke slowly elevating from where the wound is still gaping, slowly meeting the clouds above.When he sees Ardyn, he sees Eos, and his heart aches.
