RExANNA
the penumbra
“Thank you.” She says initially, earnestly to Loren who has the other piece that she needs. And then she prays, with the two men at her sides, each with a piece she requires. And she can’t see the world flickering and dimming, before filling with light. But based off of the electricity in the room, she can feel her goddess there, feel the shift and change, and a smile breaks across her face. And when the Voice’s hands cup her cheeks, she leans into the touch, as though she’s starved.
Her goddess comments on those she’s brought with her, and Rexanna smiles with a small nod, a snort offered quietly. And she agrees quietly to the next set of commentary, understanding that crafting and enhancing were different – believing it to be similar to her transmuting magic. “I’m honored that you’re willing to do this.” She says, smiling gently into her goddess’ touch.
She can’t see the creation take place, the adjustments, the changes. She can only listen while the Voice hums thoughtfully, commenting on green, a thought of which Rexanna had never thought of before. She’d always been born with blue eyes, sapphire pools that matched her father and her mother. But this was a new start, a new chance. And she embraces it. “Yes.” She agrees softly, smile breaking a bit brighter.
She’s lucky she can’t feel pain, because certainly with all the pressure and everything of what’s happening, it’s definitely not pretty. But it doesn’t seem to take long, either, and so slowly Rexanna opens her eyes, squinting at first against the brilliant light from the Voice herself, from the shadows and shapes on the walls, and she’s overwhelmed suddenly with the view and the vision she has.
Tell her what she sees? “Everything.” The Penumbra whispers, voice wavering and breaking slightly despite her attempts to swallow it down. In place of her once sapphire eyes, emerald ones are replaced, and she can see everything again. See the world in that same crisp sharpness she had once upon a time. And without thinking, she reaches in an attempt to hold the Voice’s hand, head lowered slightly in her emotions. “Thank you, so much.”
She lifts her head then, to look over at Loren and Deimos with a wide smile, letting them see the work that had been done. The new eyes given. The fixed life granted.
