Aurelia
and that the world is always our fault
when we did nothing, how did we do wrong?
when we did nothing, how did we do wrong?
Aurelia was making her way through the city towards the Slagveld, wearing her trademark poncho to combat the chilly fog that swept over the morning. The sun was just bright enough to light up the streets, which were somewhat busy. The usual crowds were not gathered in their usual pockets, though, so it was relatively quiet. How strange.
Aurelia was just beginning to feel like something was wrong when she reached the center of the city, where throngs of people had collected around the main square. At first, she halted and tensed up, looking around to try to gauge the situation. People were smiling and chattering about something and, when she crept closer for a look, she realized there was a tree at the center of the city. What is this? She wondered, an inquisitive smile pulling at her lips.
She moved closer as a small group of people moved on from the sapling. It wiggled about, shaking its branches at her, and her brows raised in surprise. She'd never seen a tree so animated before. Walking around it in a circle, she tried to determine if it was actually an animal disguised as a tree, or to determine anything about it at all. No such luck.
"Where did you come from?" She wondered aloud, reaching out to touch a branch curiously.
It giggled and swayed backwards. Aurelia's eyes widened with pleasant surprise.

and I've been thinking that when we thought
the world would break us, that we weren't wrong
the world would break us, that we weren't wrong
