wound relentlessly

KIADA i wish that i could say, i am a light that never goes out. He speaks again and this time it is a question of how she had acquired him. She finds a small smile grow on her face, but it fades after a moment when she remembers the events following her and Auni’s night. “I went out on Longnight. Some of the Luxere had left and I went with after them with a few others to try and get them back. He was hurt, or posessed.” She says and she pauses, her icy eyes lingering on the pale deer as he tries to nudge Deimos leg with his head to see if the man might bet him more. “Whatever was in him attacked and killed one of the people I was with. I approached him then to see if it was gone, that thing inside him, and when I did he became mine.” She says, ending a bit quieter but telling the story all the same. “His antlers glowed a bit on the way back to the Rathskeller and I think it’s what kept us safe that day.” She says after a moment, but rolls her shoulders and returns her attention to him as she asks of his magic and he responds. Death. And she watches him for a moment with an amused eye, and her lips begin to form a small wicked smile. “Seems fitting.” She acknowledges after a moment. But then the conversation shifts as names are given, and he notes that it’s not the first time someone had told him that. She shrugs her shoulders again with a small motion and approaches him a bit closer. “Names can be common. But nicknames not so much. We called him the Reaper.” She says, eyeing him and considering. But no, it couldn’t be. “He had a son named Erebos, and he was a great friend of mine for a time.” She says after a moment, glancing up to the sky as if she could see the mountain peaks and aurora dancing above her only true home. but i flicker from time to time.
