ERIADNE
Eri sucked in a quick breath of damp air through pursed lips as the answer comes to her. How quickly time had slipped from her fingers and she hadn't a say in it, much less a memory to hold on to during her time for all of these months. And here her sister... Nephele had done it alone. Though she didn't remember the transition from sane to less than, she can't imagine the horrors that her sister would have endured while seeing her through it.And yet she was still here. Her rock through it all. Though she had never expected that to involve a disgusting black sludge covering her whole body in the roots of a tree she had called home. It sounded like her home now was going to be a little more... In the pits, if you will.
Regardless she holds her sister close while taking steps towards the stairs. Towards the light of the sun on a Blighted land that her pale skin had long since forgotten while hidden away. Even now at the bottom of the stairs, the idea sends a shiver down her spine.
"I don't want to leave you, Neph. You know that. I would never, if there was any other way." Her voice cracks on her sister's name though she doesn't stop, attempting to remain strong to repay the times she could not be. One step. And another.
Continue.
"I know that you'll find a way to fix all of this. You've always been so smart, Nephele. I'll be back before you know it." Eriadne moves her hands to Neph's, leading her. "And when I have more than a few moments, we must do something about those under-eye bags. And your hair! Neph, just because I'm not there to look stunning, doesn't mean you shouldn't."
