My crazed aura reaches out
like lightning,
tendrils licking the air around me,
just missing the crowds in the Nest.
Thunder rumbles as I take to the sky,
flying among the rain
like once so long before.
Karma and Acelan are dancing.
So joyous, so in love,
so I leave the clouds to
dance beside them.
Clutching this joy as my own
as Acelan dances with both of us.
Remember this, lovers.
It won't last.
I watch them and smile,
knowing how
they'll stay in love, together,
until their deaths.
The next morning.
I find the news through Ecl.
No tiny third heartbeat,
no laughs,
no dancing.
It takes her so long to realize
the blood on the sheets means death--
Not her fault.
I can hear Karma sobbing from my room
in the dark.
I wish I didn't have
this burden,
this burden of knowing
before anyone else
what was to happen.
I know Acelan understands me now,
knows what I meant by my words...
I am shaking with guilt,
but I don't let it show.
They are going through too much already.
And then Karma falls.
A/N: It has been sooo long...so sorry! This chapter goes through 47. Karma has a miscarriage; Mara knew she would. And then Karma falls to Ecl on purpose. Please review!
