My Bitter Future

"You say former resident. Why would you leave the city?" he wondered.

"To travel." Her eyes were glowing as she looked at Echo’s. "To see what can be seen, to step on every possible land of Disparatus." She sighed. "Svaneholm is a city that lives, vividly and has a lot to give for a person who knows how to take. I have left in the belief that I took enough. The rest is on me to develop and I choose to develop on road."

"You say former resident. Why would you leave the city?" he wondered.

"Svaneholm is a city that lives, vividly and has a lot to give for a person who knows how to take. I have left in the belief that I took enough. The rest is on me to develop and I choose to develop on road."

            “… Yes," Lucian responded, with more force behind his voice. "Just an accident. No harm meant."

Echo was a fool.

He slung his bow over his shoulder and knelt down by the riverside, lifting his shirt so that he could cleanse the wound with cool water. He winced in pain but focused on conversation to distract himself.

She smiled with the compliment. “You came too south.” She replied, without hesitating. You need to follow the river until you get to the part where the flow gets powerful, and you might find a bridge there.” There, she paused. “You will have half a day more until you reach Svaneholm.”

A half day longer in these woods. Echo winced at the thought of carrying on alone for that long with his injury. He was skeptical about his ability to make the journey without being found.

Mirage. An obvious pseudonym. It certainly wouldn’t surprise him to learn it was a Virad monicker, but if she were really an undercover Virad, would she blow her cover to him so easily? He didn’t know what to make of her. On one hand, her help might be just what he needed to make it to freedom unscathed. On the other hand, it might be a trap to lead him to an early grave.

He contemplated the offer. Certain death versus probable death… Well, it was hardly a choice when put like that.

He had a weakness for cute smiles.

Adding whatever threat he came away from could still be behind him did make a difference though. She had enough confidence in her pace when she needs to avoid fight, but with the open wound in her sight it might not be the easiest fight if she would get in one. She was still behind the decision of being on his side until the bridge; being concerned about danger and leaving a weaker man to the claws of it were two different topics.

She tilted her head to her side, looking away at the water beside them. She weighed the possibilities as a cloud dimmed the moonlight; maybe she should have used a bit of magic on the wound, just enough to keep him powerful. But what if that powerful then threatened her? He was right, wilds weren't the safest place.

But no, she postponed this decision to morning.

—        What’s that, you say? Lasi’s doing a follow forever? Well heck yes she is. When I first got this blog up and running, thanks to support from a couple of wonderful friends of mine, I never honestly thought I’d get anywhere with it. Lucian has always had a special place in my heart as an OC, because when I created him, the first person to know about him was my beautiful best friend, Rabbit, who was nothing but supportive, creative, and welcoming to the idea in general. With her help, the Sin Verse got far more developed, delving into the ideas of Keepers, Lesser Sins, Cardinal Sins, and demons - even the Neutrals were an idea by her mind. I don’t think I could ever remove Lucian from my OC roster, and thanks to all of you wonderful people, I feel more and more like my ideas aren’t as stupid as I was once convinced to believe. You’re all wonderful people.

          This list consists of people who I: role-play with, talk with, or simply enjoy seeing on my dash. Perhaps a wonderful conglomeration of all three, eh? For the most part, it’s the first two, though. Thank you again, all 143 of you! < 3 I love you all. [also, as a sidenote: if someone has multiple blogs, I have only included one of their blogs on this list.]

          Knowing my luck, I missed someone… Either way: thank you all, once again, for following me. I cannot express to you how happy it makes me to know that people are interested in my ideas. You are all amazing, I hope that 2014 treats you the best that any year ever has! ♥ ]]

            “Hello, ma’am. Welcome to Exotic Cuisine," he spoke automatically, "Due to the time, you may order from the lunch menu, which is in the front." Lucian motioned to the menu he’d placed down only moments beforehand. "Please, take your time in deciding what you would like to eat. For the time being, may I get you a beverage? If you are unsure of what we offer, there is a list in the back of the menu.”

            She openly gazed at him up and down, then stated. "There's something about you." That was also probably why her Awakening didn't work properly. There was something weird about this man and she made her mind, she had to learn. "I want to place and order." She said, giving the menu back to him. She looked up again, her green eyes full of amusement. "You. I want to learn what you are."
