DEIMOS
Restlessness peeled along the edges of his blood, scraping away at enamel, at pieces he so often hid. Primordial apprehension, something even predators permitted to seethe through their ichor, clawed down the back of his mind, over his spine, until it meandered and settled in his muscles, resolved itself as a formidable, foreboding presence. Like a storm brewing, brooding, posturing over the horizon, forming far quicker than anyone could tell or imagine – voracious and ferocious. He looked and glanced and stared at her, swallowing down the length of consternation, but it wouldn’t cease, wouldn’t end, seizing, taking, grasping –
The sentences she formed buffered against his skull, and for a being who regularly calculated, postured revolutions and sedition in the breadth of a breath, he found himself not understanding. Not comprehending the meaning. His brows furrowed, things lost in translation, in confusion. “What do you mean?”
He’d known she’d been going with Wessex, with Hotaru, something about gods. The Sword had been cautious, worried, but the notions that she’d been able to conquer these feats, travel upon her adventures, sail along Harpy endeavors, had prevailed over the brooding. He’d given her armor. He’d believed in her. She’d believed in herself.
Had she slipped through another portal, mysteriously vanished, as some had? Should they go after her?

i'm in the mood to dissolve in the sky
