The young healer watched the reflection of the nymph woman, as she floated around the surface. He was mesmerized by her, having never seen anything like her. However, caution forced its way into his mind. Over his years, he came to realize that many things of beauty often had hidden dangers beneath the surface. Her next question didn’t take any thought at all. What was it that he wanted most? Well, that was the easiest question he had ever been asked. Chester. This little adventure was bringing up his dead lover’s face, his eyes all over again, only… Gods, it actually felt like a memory. After his interaction with Ludo... A memory wasn’t entirely enough to get him by anymore. Desmond drew a shaky breath, unsure of how to word his answer. ”To see my lover again…” he started quietly with a huff of a laugh. ”To feel him again, I would do whatever it takes.” He felt a twinge of sadness, of darkness touch him, but it felt…like home. It felt natural. He had no fear of death. Hells, sometimes he wished death would come sooner. He didn’t care what it took, he would do it. desmond AWAKEN THE SOUL AND REACH FOR MORE |

Jigano's dignity was just strong enough to smother the yelp as the cavern tilted beneath him, though he dropped to one knee again, hands pressed to the ice as if to try and dig handholds to stabilize himself with. His fingers weren't that strong, though, and despite the nauseating sense of vertigo he found that it wasn't necessary, either. Were they beneath the ice? Within it? Was it all a dream?
Catch her? And just how were they supposed to-- Oh. Apparently she was tangible now, or they had joined her in the reflected world. Either way, he had no doubt that no one would be leaving it until they did catch her... and just what would that entail? A shriek from above whipped his head up to spot the fierce hawk diving down. Remi? A quick look around revealed Isla standing alone, so it must be. Either obedient to the nymph's commands, or just trying to end this bizarre game... it was a toss-up with the boy. He watched Bastien thrust his way through the gathering, desperately grabbing for the nimble nymph with little concern for those around him, and his lips tugged into a slight frown. That didn’t seem right… Isla moved with grace, slow enough not to draw the eye, but she didn’t seem fast enough to catch the personification of winter that danced among them with such ease. Two of the other women seemed to be biding their time, hanging back and waiting for just the right moment as they stayed to the edges of the game. Jigano stayed kneeling, frozen and oddly blended into the colorless ice cave with his white hair and grey cloak, though his blue eyes searched sharply to see what the others were doing in response to the nymph's command. Last hurdle? But... 'no-regretters' and 'do-alls' didn't include him, now did it? If anything, the nymph had as much as said that he had no place in her game anymore. Ah, but he’d never been one for giving up gracefully, now had he? With a fierce grin at himself in the ice below the lorekeeper bided his time, his stillness becoming one with the chill world around them, waiting for the winter spirit’s lithe evasions to bring her near enough for him to reach out, snake-swift and sudden, eyes on the floor rather than the woman who looked so solid, guided by their reflections so that his mirrored hand might close on hers – and, perhaps, his real one as well!

He wasn't sure what to expect when he made his try for the nymph, but feeling her hand in his took his breath away and he looked up sharply at her tinkling laugh. As the cavern started to crack and crumble around them he stood and moved to pull her into the faint protection of his arms, instinctively trying to shelter her from the collapsing cavern but--
There was no cavern. No falling blocks of ice. No nymph at all, in point of fact. Cradled in his arms was an egg of breathtaking beauty and a size no normal bird or snake could boast. For long moments he stared down at it in shock, eyes following the intricate patterns of ice and snow that seemed to shift across its surface as the little life within moved, warm and helpless in his arms. And... just barely, just a tickle... in his mind? At long last, when his chest began to hurt, he remembered to breathe. He quickly shifted his cloak over the egg, as much to keep it warm as to hide it from view, and he glanced up to make sure everyone who had been below was back. He counted off familiar faces first, of course, then the unfamiliar ones, breathing a sigh of relief when the numbers matched up. For a moment his gaze returned to Isla, Bastien, and Remi but... they were safe and unharmed... give or take the fresh wounds the nymph's words had opened on some of their hearts. He wasn't ready to face any of them yet, neither strangers nor friends, with the raw feelings still lingering. Instead he ducked his head and turned away, retreating back into the trees and heading for his den to think about what he should do next... and to keep the egg warm. | |||||||||||
