Pain unfolding

KIADA troy falls a thousand times in every dream i dream Sometimes it felt like a few steps forward for a hundred steps back. This was one of those times – having left the southern region for the east, only to return on some faint hope that her brother might be nearby. She only needed to know that he made it through – that he hadn’t fallen at the hands of Kisamoa. But Kianzo wasn’t that stupid, he wouldn’t challenge a god… At least she didn’t think he would. Yet, the Harpy still felt empty inside. Her twin, her other half, her sun to her moon, missing with no news on whether he still breathed or not. She would know if he wasn’t, right?

However, as she grew closer, she noticed the path lead to a view of some sort, and a stranger she wasn’t expecting, nor was it who she was hoping for. A small frown found her pink splattered lips before it disappeared.
