Maea
And time it waits for no one
It heals them when you die
It heals them when you die
The return to the forest was as jarring and abrupt as her appearance in Halo had been. The stillness was like a scream on her senses, raw and reeling with the horror, the adrenaline of the chase. Amber eyes scanned the surroundings wildly, her tail lashing in agitation until she had made thrice sure that the horror was nowhere near.
Only then could she settle, and listen to what Ludo had to say. Looking down on herself, to see paws instead of hands, fur instead of skin, and a sleek feline body when she glanced over her own shoulder... it slowly began to dawn on her what had happened. What had been done.
Awe, elation and a gratitude more profound than anything bloomed within her. And as she sensed Ludo fading, about to disappear, Maea threw her whole heart out there, with a fearlessness she hadn't been able to embrace before.
"I love you, Ludo! Thank you!"
It would take time to process this. To truly understand and embrace the full implications of this change. But Maea could feel it already, like a deep, purring contentment within the core of her being.
Aah, so this was who she was.

And soon you are forgotten
A whisper within a sigh
A whisper within a sigh
