Ice Blue Moon

He stared out the window, into the cloudless night. He exhaled slowly and watched his smoky breath evaporate into the dark room. Damn, he thought, who'd think that Lina's fireballs were good for something? At the thought of her name, he turned toward the bed she was currently lying in.

Lina, he whispered, why'd you have to go and do a thing like that?

He reached over and pulled a silky red strand out of her face, and tucked it behind her ear. He told her not to go over there; he said it at least three times. He heard it in the bushes, creeping, slithering and stalking. He didn't think much of it, only that if they left it alone, it would eventually go away. But oh, stubborn Lina! She decided that whatever it was, was a bother to her, and she needed to shoo it away. She was bit…of course… but she didn't say anything. It wasn't until she was passed out in the snow, twenty-three miles into the mountain that Gourry discovered this.

Aye, Lina, he whispered to her, You should not have left before Amelia and Zegaldis. What if they cannot find us then…what if they do not come here… what if… you do not live?

He closed his eyes, not wanting to think of such a thought, and then opened them, and looked at her again. Her face was ice cold, and a pale shade of blue, like the moon. He almost couldn't stand the sight, but he kept his eyes on her. Could this be his Lina? The one he traveled with for some…some…well, whatever amount of years it was? The one he fought over food with? The one he dedicated his life to following?

Lina, he said pleadingly, Lina open your eyes. I know you can hear me…You have to be able to hear me…. Lina, please… open your eyes. We need to get going, we…we don't have any food left, and I can't leave you in this cabin alone. We used up all the firewood, and I need you to help me get some more. Lina… I need for you to help me. Please, open your eyes.

At the sound of his voice, she opened her eyes slowly and turned towards him. He peered into them softly. The fiery luster of her eyes had disappeared. She had a tired, strained look etched into her face and her small frame seemed constantly shivering. She gave a somber look, and a small smile, before her eyes closed again, and she drifted back into a painful sleep.

Thank you, Lina. He thought. I needed that…more than anything right now.

He stood up, and grabbed his cloak off a hanger and walked towards the door. Suddenly, he stopped and turned back to the bed. With a quick stride he was by her side again. He laid his cloak over the countless quilts, and leaned down and kissed her hot forehead.
I'll be back soon Lina…
