Stone Circle i love you, and if you want, I'll call you king

Father.. 

His voice quavered, his pupil finding the dark shape of the man. His next words went unanswered as the boy stared at him, before away his eye would twist.

Yes. Hoarse, shaken. He bore the burden of a rabbit and none of the discipline to handle it. 

He felt queasy.

I heard of Mereo. I went to..to check the canyon. I was above it. He shivered, remembering the golden eyes.

It was there. Like you and me. But not. Too narrow. Spoke..something. I have never heard anything like it. He closed his eye.

The other one..she did not hurt me. Chased me. Asked me if I wanted to live. Told me she wished for divinity. He choked on the last words, knowing what came next.

She told me I was nothing, that death came for us all. She was…small. Thin. Like.. Like a spider

Aquillius lurched, remembering the shattering glass of her laugh. He wanted to cover his ears.

He shuddered out a breath that sounded close to tears.
