ASHE
I'm meaner than my demons
She had to see it, she couldn’t just wait to get to where the barrier fell. Her bleeding heart hadn’t stopped racing since the moment 108 vanished with the Core, since she saw the world beyond. She didn’t even want to wait to be healed, she almost didn’t. She had wanted to race straight for the lush forest beyond, she wanted to see those storms up close… But when she had stumbled with her first few steps down the stairs of the spire, she conceded to Kalt’s point of you need to be fucking healed. Once her chest was no longer bleeding, she didn’t even bother to clean up and get changed - she headed out while Kalt went to retrieve Theea.
It was on Percy that she raced for the outskirts, and it took all of her willpower not to send him careening into the dense forest ahead, to charge beyond where that gods forsaken barrier had been. She wouldn’t, not without Kalt with her, but she had to see it. And as she neared and beheld the vibrant life, there was… ”Roana?” Ashe called as she finally slowed the ram-horned unicorn. Before he even fully stopped, the assassin swung herself down to the ground, jogging forward to meet her and the man she was with. ”How did you get out here? The Spire, we -” It was then that she fully registered exactly who it was that stood with the former captain. She blinked in surprise at the sight of her once-coworker. ”Ianto?” Last time she’d actually spoken to him, she’d dragged the fox out from under her porch and he high-tailed it away from her. I'm bigger than these bones. |
