[SWP] Dark Days

KIADA I am unworthy but I will build and break and destroy and create for you She had traveled with Rixen to the place of which the two of them had met. It was bittersweet, part of it was encompassed by a land that had such a pleasant memory associated with it. It was the first time they had ever conversed their ideas, finding out that the two of them shared so much in common when she had asked him to join her to the Green Labyrinth, which seemed to spur so many more adventures for her to share with someone else. But it was bittersweet, due to the sorrow that seemed to encompass the land as they grew closer, as the salt from the water tingled her senses and Khairi crooned a mournful sound as he surveyed from above. When her eyes landed upon the damage, it became a catalyst. At first, her gaze landed on the mangroves, tangled and knotted in an eternal scream, to the life that seemed to leak from them as they held each other in a tight death-like grasp.

Reaching out with her head, she bit down on the branch and braced her body to tug, as she did she felt it loosening and tugged a few more times until it was free and hung aimlessly at the Mangrove’s side. Her joints ached with the movement already, and as she looked around them it appeared as though they had a lot of work to do. “This is going to take awhile.” She admitted as Khairi chirped in agreement as she glanced over to see how Rixen was doing. The tree in front of her still had two more knotted branches, and there were what felt like a billion. "Talk." for you, i kneel. for you, anything. everything, always —
