Tell the tales of the trail of dead
Lovers learned from slower hands
Lovers learned from slower hands
Liam was dimly aware that Koa, Kaisel, Sohalia, and Noe had left, but his attention now was focused on Maea. The battle raged on around them, but for a moment, it felt like they were trapped in a bubble of calm, even as some kind of snake creature appeared and blocked them off from the rest of the fight. He eyed it warily - he thought it might have been Noah a moment before, but he wasn’t sure. The chaos was growing, despite the fact that most people had fled.
Once, he might have been among them. He might have taken Maea’s hand and fled with her, away from the fight, without even pausing to think. But now he hesitated, his conflicted gaze going between the Ancient and the rest of the battle. Pierce and Vox were holding their own - he wasn’t worried about them. Thalassa, on the other hand… But she was strong. She’d carried him when he’d fallen, after all. She would be alright.
In the end, it boiled down to one thing: he didn’t want Maea to get hurt in the crossfire.
”Alright,” he said finally, taking her outstretched hand, moving to place himself between her and the rest of the battle. But as they left, he couldn’t help but add, ”But you’re wrong - this is our fight.”

Liam leaves with Maea!
Losing self in myself
And my demons make demands
And my demons make demands
