innocence died screaming

REMI

the alchemist

there's a feeling i get when i look to the west,
& my spirit is crying for leaving.

"I will let her know." The hope of knowing somewhere in the vastness of the world that Amun was still alive might be more than Maea could bear, but of course it was only for Remi to pass on the information. After today, he vowed never to keep another secret again, no matter the cost.

"I owe you, for this." The Lullaby said as he stood, knowing full well what such an offering might bind him to when it came to Ludo, but offering it just the same. "I fear I might be slow in my duties given what Safrin might due to me, but I will see them done." So saying, he glanced fleetingly at the sky, still not entirely sure it wasn't about to come crashing down upon him, before leaving Ludo with its frog and its spirits.

~FIN

in my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees
& the voices of those who stand looking.
