Fool me once, fool me twice
Are you death or paradise?
Are you death or paradise?
His question was one she'd been asking herself a lot lately, and yet she hadn't been able to find an answer. Pursing her lips, Thal narrowed her eyes at the storm that was within shouting distance. "I don't know." She didn't seem bothered by the waves that began to crash against the hull or the lightning that grew closer by the second. "It's hard to think when everything feels so empty."
Thal shook her head, droplets of rainwater falling from her horns. "I don't know what to do without them, but I'm trying to focus on something - anything - else. Maybe I can lose myself in this quest or fill the time with friends or just..." Her voice was lost in a strike of lightning, but it felt hollow regardless, excuses that she knew wouldn't work, that she knew wouldn't be able to fix the gaping hole in her chest. It wouldn't bring them back, and everything felt so directionless and hopeless without the violet guidance that had once given her purpose.
She watched as the ship finally broke into the storm, feeling the wall of wind snag aggressively at her clothing. "I don't know." It was more a whisper this time, buried in the chaos that slowly engulfed them. Thal stood her ground at the railing, watching it unfold as the crew worked behind her as she looked for the other side where they'd exit.

Now you'll never see me cry
There's just no time to die
There's just no time to die
