Alright, Suki's flashback!
The darkness stilled everything peaceful in her mind. Her eyes adjusted to the lack of light and her breathing was far shallower than it needed to be…perhaps the altitude had something to do with it.
The airship swayed gracefully into the night…or what seemed like the night since there was no visible way she could tell if it were truly day or night. A little before the ship had rocked heavily as if it were trying to maneuver around or over something, jostling her from her sleep.
Arms crossed over her chest as she sat there, remembering exactly what had happened and how she had felt after seeing the one person she would do anything for, almost took her life.
Flashback:
When they had finally made their way up the cliff's edge, Suki stood in awe for a moment, gazing at the woman who she had thought died long ago. Her face was thinner, her eyes sharper, deadlier than ever and the look she wore…it was if she were calculating every move of every person in the fight…except one.
Rage filled Suki's body as she tried to down the raging emotions inside her. At first she wanted to smother Neara with love, being thankful that she was alive, but at the same time she wanted to crush the life from her body, watching the last gleams of life fade from her eyes.
She had betrayed them, all of them and it was unlike any pain she had felt before.
With a flick of her wrists, Suki readied her fans, approaching Neara with a deadly stance. She would pay for her betrayal.
End of Flashback
Few tears escaped her eyes, but not many traveled down her face.
Suki was strong, she had to be. Though she was more an emotional wreck than any believed, she had to remain strong for her friends and for herself. For it was strength that got her through much of her hard times, it was self endurance that taught her to be strong and it was life that forced such lessons upon the young warrior. Lessons she would never forget.
As the ship glided through the night, Suki remained there, planning her vengeance and this time, she swore that no matter what it would take, she would not fail again.
So what do you think?
