MAEA
"No."
Maea wouldn't stop. Wouldn't let go. She knew the pain and the emptiness and the peace that awaited the woman but she just couldn't stop and let this life flow away between her fingers.
But she had no say over this. The magical gift she had stolen from the dying could not outpace the flow of blood. Only slow it, prolong the inevitable. And all too soon, even that small respite petered out and was gone, as the glow faded. It had never been hers to wield. And now it was gone.
Still Maea kept pressure on the wound. Felt the faint flutter of a heart beat in that chest, and wished it would keep going.
"I don't even know your name! How can we be even if you leave like this? Come on, stop!"
She sniffed, pleaded with the blood, with the heart, with the soul that longed to slip away. Her own injuries were forgotten, the dribbling fluid dripping from her cut unimportant compared to the wash of red that stained her chin, hands, her coat, soaking into the ground - it was just too much.
