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?
The water dizzies her for a moment, lost in the flow as it pours in over her legs. A distinct, throbbing pain in her head sharpens her nerves, though. She grits her teeth and plucks the bow from off her back once more. Perhaps it was foolish of her to ever lower it and bring herself into close range of this guy, but she doesn't linger on this thought for very long.
From her downed position in the water, she arches an arrow to the string and lets the arrow fly. It misses widely, however. The man dodges it with relative ease, having seen it coming. He leaps down into the water towards her, scimitar at the ready with its sharpened edge glaring for her - a promise of swiftly-drawn blood, this time.
Only, the promise is weak. Melita's warning call makes him take pause, and Aurelia lunges out with her foot to trip him up. He snarls in frustration as he stumbles.
She takes advantage of the opportunity to regain her bearings and leap back up to her feet, moving away from him to keep him at a distance, her back to the shore. She readies another arrow and glances up at Melita, "Yeah! Just fine!" She grimaces, pulling the arrow back with all of the strength and poise she can muster. This next one will hit. It has to.

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
