Moonsong

Celosia found herself bathed in the light of the moon and the stars, alone outside of her house for the first time since she and the others arrived in this new world. Her dark eyes searched the beautiful space, taking in the paradise that so contradicts the nature of the rest of the land. It was so strange to think such different environments could exist so close together, yet there they were. She wrapped her arms around herself, rubbing her forearm briefly as she looked. It was so peaceful. In a way, the pool and the luscious grass all reminded her of the Garden she and Remi visited outside of Northaven. She smiled softly, thinking about the piece of the world they left behind. Bending down, she slipped her boots off and rolled her pants up to just below her knees. She felt the grass between her toes and pressed her lips together. No matter how often she felt the sensations, she wasn’t sure she’d ever get used to understanding what things felt like without actually feeling pleasure or pain from them. It was so strange, almost like existing without the full experience . Remi was the only one who knew, and it wasn’t like he’d be able to relate. She stepped forward, her feet submerging in the water. Cel looked up at the moon with a small smiled, the only sounds being that of the running water and her legs moving through it as she walked. Archebold celosia Bride of Darkness
