Dmitri leaned against the wall, watching the Life-light that shined off of his sister, Aurora. A light that revealed the crate she was sitting on, a light that revealed a small image of the world around her, including the cane that rested between her hands.
That light was more a curse than a blessing. Neither of them saw the world... they merely glimpsed it, whenver another was around. Neither of them liked people all that much, either.
She smiled to herself, thinking over their most recent student. She was happy, like most of the others they had met. She was lost in a world of illusions, and she was unwilling to look to the way the world really was. So, she had to die. A pity, a tragedy, so forth and so on. Just another voice lost to a world of darkness. Just another death.[/color]
We all die in the end, sister.
Yes... will Velius, I wonder?
Technically, he already has. He escaped the endless wheel of pain by embracing it.
True.
She leans her head back and looks to the sky... something her sightless eyes have never beheld. She has never seen the stars... she never will. She hears the songs about them all the time. They are always a special kind of torture for her. People sang them all the time.
Dmitri notices her look up and smiles slightly. He doesn't ask why she torments herself so... he knows why. There was no point in fooling yourself. There was only this endless pain, this miserable existence of loss and more loss. The more they heard, the more they knew this was the truth.
They had no more words to say for now.[/i]
