Starlight- Muse
Far away
This ship is taking me far away
Far away from the memories
Of the people who care if I live or die
Rythian got into his boat and sailed off into the ocean without a seconds thought. All he knew was that he couldn't bear to stay and it would kill him if he did. The stronghold was gone and it wouldn't come back; that was a fact (and the only thing that made some sort of sense). The other thing that he knew was that he had to find safety and health before Zoey went as well. That's what didn't make sense. Zoey had always been there for him. Without her it would be a completely different story or perhaps none at all.
He tried to not think about that and instead, tried to get away as fast as he could. But questions kept launching themselves at his mind. Staring into the black sea, the questions built up, one of them being: 'Why did this ever happen?' But of course that couldn't be answered directly. The closest thing to it came in one word- Lalna. Yes, they sort of hated each other, but attempted murder and destroying their home was pushing it over the line.
That's why he had to get away. To start fresh, away from his horrible past and the people who wanted his and Zoey's life to end.
Starlight
I'll be chasing this starlight
Until the end of my life
I don't know if it's worth it anymore
Hope: that was what he needed. Yet it was something he was lacking. He was trying to convince himself that there was hope, but in actual fact he believed there was none at all. Finding somewhere, where they would fit in, where they could make a new start and in time before Zoey passed away, was more of a wish for Rythian. Hours passed and they were still sat in the tiny boat, with Zoey becoming weaker and weaker, yet with no land in sight.
"It'll be okay…" He whispered, knowing Zoey wouldn't hear him. Sadness, depression, fear all entered him. And even though he was desperate to save Zoey, after a while he couldn't see the point. Zoey was going and there was nothing he could do to save her.
Hold you in my arms
I just wanted to hold
You in my arms
Rythian looked down at where she was lying. Expecting her to hang on just a little longer, he touched her hand but it was cold. A shiver flew down his spine, causing him to let her hand go from a brief second. His breath quickened.
"Zoey? Don't go…" His voice broke as the harsh reality hit him. There was nothing he could do. The coldness of the air suddenly became a lot more bitter.
My life
You electrify my life
Lets conspire to ignite
All the souls that would die just to feel alive
"Zoey I can't survive without you. When you first came that was the start of my life and I can't imagine a world without you. Please, don't go." Her eyes remained to stay closed and he continued to hang on. But the more he tried to keep her back, the more the sadness inside him turned to anger. The anger and hatred he had saved up for one purpose in particular. "Lalna, he did this. If you die now, I'll make sure he dies. I'll continue his game which he thinks if fun. But he'll see…"
And I'll never let you go
If you promise not to fade away
Never fade away
The boat hit land, instantly breaking it and causing them to fall in the water. Rythian dived under and scooped Zoey up in his arms. He climbed onto the shore and walked with Zoey, holding her closely. Through the endless sands he walked subconsciously, knowing he had to get somewhere, yet not completely sure where he was going. The silhouette of a village sat on the horizon, yet it didn't get any closer, no matter how far he walked.
Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations
Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations
Rythian kept walking, becoming dizzier by the second, watching Zoey die before him. There was nothing he could do. It was all over. He planted a kiss on her head, tears in his eyes. Then he stopped walking and instead fell to the ground, sadness taking over his body, turning his soul black. He couldn't take it any longer. Zoey was gone. One final breath and he gave up on life.
Hold you in my arms
I just wanted to hold
You in my arms
I just wanted to hold
"Rythian?"
