Eruyt Village
.-°-..-°-.
The magical path in the jungle, made of dark green roots entwined together, was still spread under their feet as they walked away from that fairy but hostile village which had plainly refused them. As for Ashe, a princess, that feeling of rejection was hard to bear - she felt that her devouring thirst of vengeance and power was clashing against that unreal atmosphere of peace the Viera lived in - and she was fearing that the bridge could sense it, and would let her fall down in the depths of the wood, because that was what she deserved.
But - she was not the only one refused by the wood.
When she reached the end of the bridge. she turned back, and saw Fran turning back too, to look at her own village - her lost village. Biting her lips, Ashe realised that the sorrow for rejection she had been feeling was nothing comparable to the one the Viera was probably passing through in that moment. She didn't even look fierce on her stilettos - she didn't even keep her head high.
But than he came.
They were slightly far from Ashe, and the angsty noises of the jungle would have covered his voice anyway - but she knew he had just stayed silent. With both his hands cupping her cheeks, the sky-pirate kissed the Viera. It was brief, it was not romantic. It was just to say - 'I am here'.
But the way it worked - Fran's head was up again, and she didn't seem to grieve while leaving her village behind her back, this time. Because now she had clear in her mind again why she had left it.
The princess lowered her gaze, un unjustyfied sensation of envy possessing her - she lacked a fix point like that. She really lacked it.
