EVIE
there ain't no doubt in no ones mind
Another LongNight, over and done. Not without its losses, poignant and purposeless in equal measure though they may be. Part of her aches with empathy and regret for the Outlanders who were brought here just to fight ever harder against the nightmares Caido had concocted long before their arrival. But life goes onward, and with it the seasons change, drawing life from the barren landscape and returning small bursts of color to a world desperately in need of it.Evie isn't here to gaze in wonder. She departs from her bed when the sun's last rays have already bled out beneath a darkening sky, only the faintest rim of a glow on the horizon as she wanders out into the brisk air. There's no reasoning, no motive to her motions. Perhaps she is restless, or lonely, or any other adjective to describe her life as it winds down an utterly confusing path. Evie doesn't care enough to consider the options.
Maybe she is just here to remind herself that the darkness does not always contain monsters. Gazing up at the stars that shine overhead between the shadows of the branches she passes beneath, Evie lets the light of the moon guide her forward, grass brushing at her legs as she passes through in aimless arcs.
that love's the finest thing around
