Guiding Light (Blind AU)
Wind rushed against her face. Shoppers chattered amongst themselves. The aroma of freshly baked bread wafted through the air. The fruit was fresh and firm to the touch. The stalls were draped in brightly colored tarps.
Or so she was told.
All she saw was darkness. Nothing had become her everything.
She couldn't see her crew pushing through the crowd. She couldn't see her brother's face, filled with glee at the tale he was telling. She couldn't see her boots hitting the stone beneath her feet.
She couldn't be more alone.
She would never again see her crew. Or her brother. Or even her boots.
Her haki made it all a bit more bearable. She could sense things that even her comrades couldn't detect. It had saved their lives on more than one occasion now. But it still hurt.
The beauty of her powers was lost on her as well. Never again would she see the dazzling flames escaping her fingertips. Their beauty was indescribable before. But now. Now it really was. Now it was only a memory. A memory she would spend the rest of her life dreaming of.
But.
They had never given up on her. They told her about all the things she could no longer see.
Now she could picture the beauty of the world. She could picture it all. The ocean and the mountains and the sky and the people. They spared no detail.
They wanted her to be comfortable. Wanted her to enjoy life again.
And she did.
Hey guys! I was pretty iffy about posting this. It turned out a lot more depressing than I wanted it to be. I guess your writing really is affected by your mood. Tried to make it a bit more hopeful towards the end to balance it out. I promise that the next chapter will have a lot more going on. Thank you to Candle for the inspiration! Please leave any suggestions in the comments! Bye!
