KOA
The hum of his name from her ruby lips is as soothing as any autumn breeze, wrapping around the weary young man with a warmth that eases tension and quells riotous thoughts. "You are special," comes the automatic reply, firelight reflected in ardent copper eyes as Koa tracks his goddess's movements, a flush of pride blooming in him at the reception of his gift. "Though no candle can hope to compare with the beauty of your starlight, my Lady."
He leans into the touch, brief as it is, her fingers electric on his stubbled cheek. But then she is gone, circling around him as he kneels, and Koa has the distinct impression of being observed, inspected and discerned by keen, unflinching eyes. Not wanting to disappoint or come up short, the young man tries to guard his fractured heart with a smile and a self-deprecating laugh; "I'm afraid I've been rather selfish, actually. Focusing too much on my own problems, and ignoring the threat facing us all." A threat which loomed untouchable in the Tower, which glowed violet on the horizon of the sea. A threat speaking words into his mind without his permission.
A threat which had seen Flora killed.
"But I am determined to change that." Koa lifts his head up, setting his jaw. "I have... plans. To make a difference, in whatever way I can."

Let me go, I don't wanna be your hero
I don't wanna be a big man
Just wanna fight with everyone else

Just wanna fight with everyone else
