Through Never:
Chapter Eight:
Meeting
I had received many more letters from Vonnskel. None of which I could reply too. He has probably forgotten me by now, it has already been half a year. I have earned many new scars, mostly across my back, but there is one gash across my left eye. It burns every time I go to wash my face. The miasma in the water does not help either.
I miss my mother dearly, I would pay a visit to her but the ferry-man's prices are outrageous. So, I quietly continued my journey wherever the miasma streams would let me. I was currently in the Vale of Alfitaria, there was rumor that a myrrh tree was growing in Moschet Manor. I was doubtful, but I needed the myrrh. Especially being only one drop away to completing my quest.
I traveled onward into the sunset. A silhouette in the distance could be seen, but I could not quite make out what it was. I took no heed of it, it was probably the Striped Brigade. They were a cowardice bunch of thieves.
But as it drew closer I began to make out some of the features. It was definitely not the Striped Brigade. They were crystal caravanners.
It was the caravan hailing from Fum....
It was Shinara who called me over and I halted my pomparus and jumped off the caravan.
"Hello, Miriali!" She said sweetly. I raised my eyebrows, something was up.
"Greetings," I replied. I began to feel nervous and my heart felt as if it were in my throat as Vonnskel emerged from the caravan.
His smile turned into a scowl when he saw me. I felt very vulnerable.
"H-hello Vonn," I said meekly. I lowered my head in shame.
"Hi," He growled. Shinara giggled a bit. I felt even more shameful.
"You never replied!" He half shouted. "I thought you were dead!" He continued.
The blood roared in my ears. I wanted to explain but Shinara's piercing gaze made my vocals chords freeze up. I was like a prey cornered by it's hunter.
"I'll leave you two alone to sort this out," Shinara snickered slightly. I wanted to say something to him but the words wouldn't come. I was frozen.
"Maybe Shinara is right! Maybe you Selkies are all witches!" He yelled. I felt like a knife pierced through me.
"Please, let me explain!" I pleaded.
"Why should I!" He retorted.
"You don't understand! I-I-" I couldn't finish the sentence. It brought me too much shame.
"Don't understand WHAT!" He shouted.
I wanted this friendship to grow, he was one of the only people of a different race to be kind to me. I didn't want to lose him.
"I-I can't read," I cried.
Tears poured down my face despite trying to fight them back. I fell to my knees and just broke down.
