Chiana grasped D'argo's hand tightly as he guided her through the market place. The feeling was always the same, at least it had been for the past 5 years. She clung to his hand tighter each time, he was her eyes.
She had been blind for nearly 5 years, but she still hadn't gotten used to it, the dark, the not knowing. It was what she had always feared, now she was always in the dark. After she had used her visions to save earth, resulting in the death of John and Aeryn, D'argo had taken her to the healer as he had promised.
But even the miraculous healer, who had taken the microchip out of John Crichton's brain, couldn't do anything. Nor could any surgeon, or farbot healer from Peacekeeper Territory to Tormented Space.
No way they had said. Blind for life they had said. And when her eyes stayed as white as the rest of her Nebari features Chiana was convinced. Convinced that she would stay in the dark for the rest of her days. God she hated the dark.
But D'argo had stayed with her, as he had promised, forever her protector…..Zhann had once said that, damn she missed Zhann. Zhann would have been able to help her, she wouldn't have had to endure the dark for so long. But here she was 5 years later and the dark still scared her more then anything.
But Zhann was gone, in time so was Jool, then Aeryn and John, then Rygel left…and even Wrinkles. Only D'argo had stayed by her side on Moya, he could have left. Gone home and searched out Jothee, but no…he stayed with her. And she loved him for that..but she wished that she didn't need him.
She asked him time and time again why he stayed with her. And time and time again he gave the same answer.
He told her he loved her and that he would stay with her till the end.
Chiana only wished that the end would come sooner…she was so very tired of the dark.
