Why was she here?
The clouds snake over the stars and hide them from view. The ground sprawls from reeds and marshes into rocky, barren wasteland. There are scents on the wind and none of them belong to who she searches for.
Her stomach aches terribly. Her eyes burn; her leg snarls with a shooting pain from wrist to shoulder that thunders down her spine. And yet she does not stop.
Why was she here? Why could she not have given up?
The woman's careworn face lingers in her mind, the one from Kvarsheim. She could have been desperate and begged for a place with her, could have hidden among the ranks. She could have gone home, could have crawled back to Akavir — could have lied to his face and told him she had been simply scouting, that she needed time to think. Could have, could have, and yet she didn't. Did not want to. Her heart throbs in her chest and bangs against her ribcage.
Why was she here?
Why hadn't the pretty face faded into her memory like the others? Like the men?
Why could she not accept no closure as closure?
Why was she searching for someone who did not wish to be found?
Was she this pathetic? This desperate, this hopeless? Or was it determination? Or perhaps it was none of those things. Perhaps it was love; perhaps it was something else. But there were no more answers to be found in the long faded remnants of scent, of staying tethered to a place that holds no promise or future, of waiting and hoping — wishing.
She must find out for herself if there is anything that remains of the @Silvertongue she guarded so fiercely within her heart.
