Role

Chapter 18


Chapter Seventeen: For the Widows in Paradise.
Added Fri Jul 13 15:39:53 2018 at level 51:

The unmistakably odd-looking elf that sat across from Aurew was tired. Drissa
had been in an irritable mood more often lately, and it worried Aurew to no
end. Here was the heart and soul of the Fortress, worn down by the bickering
of soldiers and her inability to keep them from walking away or tumbling
astray. Aurew listened, offered solace and advice when applicable. It was her
responsibility. So when Drissa asked that Aurew watch over her while she took
a short nap, she willingly obliged.

Aurew couldn't have known what would happen next, not really. She had pushed
it out to the farthest reaches of her mind, because she already felt ashamed.
The conversation with Lord Rahsael, the hastily concocted plan of the box and
the blade, the lives in the balance and her own fate in the hands of those
she called brothers and sisters.

As Drissa detailed the vision she dreamt, Aurew listened in concealed shame
as the she spoke of an ancient box of whitesteel, a single blade within. A
blade that could, perhaps, bring peace - and violence. But Aurew knew it did
not, because it was all a lie. A fallacy to guide them to a new perspective?
Better choices? She somehow justified it at the time, thinking the Fortress
would... What was it she told herself? But she had been thinking abstractly,
not how it would affect each individual. Certainly not how it would affect
Drissa.

Now Aurew saw the deception for what it was - another burden to work through,
another line upon her face, another worry for the Captain.

An epiphany struck Aurew, immediately followed by a wave of self-loathing and
sorrow. She was Drissa's Audune, and she had done something Audune never
would; placed conditions on unconditional love. Aurew had taken their
increasingly important friendship, the closeness, the shoulder she offered,
and pulled the rug out from under it.

But there were no floorboards under this rug for Aurew. No dirt, no solid
ground. Not even the cold, unforgiving stone of the Fortress.

Only the frantic paddling of a forlorn cooshee's paws, as she sank into the
foggy shallows.
