┌───────────┐│
✧ perspective;; elodie ✧
✧ location;; a familiar forest✧
│└───────────┘ so much had changed.
so much had changed through every moon that had gone by, i had seen the oceans, fire, gold cities and the steady fall of rain. it was almost too much to take in.
but, my baby sister.. she went through it all with her head tilted high. i had never been more proud.
neither have i been more horrified as her lyrical voice chimed in my head.
a connection that i never thought i would ever hear again. elodie, are you there? it was a beautiful song, a lark’s gentle cadence that seemed almost unreal.
i wasn’t sure what to say… or at least how to say it. but, i let the words the angel’s placed on my lips pour out. gently ebbing like a river, stretching out into eternity.
i’ll always be here, elowen.
i could sense her heart, how it seemed to beat with a livliness that i never heard for so long. i could sense the warmth that radiated from it every passing moment, something that had always been there.
=i know everything, elodie. i know what they did to me.. the memories they took. a pause. i know why you don’t talk.. not aloud anyways. =
i.. i thought, i-- my breath seemed to catch and it felt almost as if i was drowning. drowning in the same waters elowen had once danced through.
you thought i forgot everything? ha. well, turns out i’ve acquired quite a few interesting bits of information, elodie. i know the promise you swore to keep… but you don’t have to keep silent any longer.
there was a certain fierceness in the lyrical chime of her voice, something so familiar that i had known since we were young. it was strange really, hearing that same boldness come from someone who had been so.. gentle for such a long time.
it was almost apart of her. engraved in the beat of her heart, every step she took, every move she made, every word she said. it was there as we danced together through the forest.
a forest that i recongnized all too well.
we shouldn’t be here, elowen. it isn’t safe, the enemy mi-- rosy eyes glinted as she didn’t pause in the tango that cradelled us into the shadows, a certainty weaved into each step. a certainty that i feared.
oh, elodie. i’m not here to hide anymore.. i’m done hiding. i’m done pretending. i’m done being the cat everyone had thought me out to be. and before you forget, i’m far from a weapon.
chin tilted high, eyes blossoming with countless roses turned to mine. gleaming in the soft, gold glow of the sun.
those creatures, they’ve taken everything i was. all those memories.. gone. they stole who i was, even tried to transform me into a delicate soul that i can never be.
a laugh bloomed at her lips.
but, they’ve done enough damage. it’s about time we do ours. don’t you think? gentle lips curled into a familiar grin, one embellished with a boldness that i’ve missed for far too long.
because i’m -- no, we are going to rip them down. burn them out like they’ve done to all those villages. we, elodie, are going to take them down. one by one. from the inside and out...until there’s nothing left.

THE END.
... or is it?

edit;; so sorry but i had to messed up on the perspective side of things, i just had to change it to elodie instead of elowen!
