Maea
And time it waits for no one
It heals them when you die
It heals them when you die
That was one sentiment Maea could both agree to and fiercely get behind. It was pleasing and worrying in equal measure to know that her brother was needed, and not only because he was the steadying anchor to her own fragile peace of mind. He was strong, and capable, and it would inevitably place him in harms way.
"Then I'll do what I can to support him, and you. And anyone else who needs it," she added as an afterthought. "I like the sound of warrior-healers. If there is time, I might strive for that. Otherwise, warrior will have to do."
She sounded pleased; having a direction and a goal always made her feel better. "Thank you, Wessex. I think I have a better idea of what to do with myself, now."
The tunnel opened up, and the portal appeared in the middle of the room. Maea gazed about curiously as she listened to Wessex, and nodded thoughtfully in response.
"I'll admit, I have a long way to go still, especially when it comes to The Voice," she responded earnestly. "I try to change, but it takes time to shake all the things I was taught. Just... if you catch me being stupid about things out of old habit, feel free to call me out on it? I know I can be stubborn, but I do listen. And I want to learn."
About family, and love, and ways to fight and survive this war. Maybe one day, she might even learn how to let go of the past.

And soon you are forgotten
A whisper within a sigh
A whisper within a sigh
