No, Equi... *Breath holding a rasping sigh, choking her delicate, lacy voice to sadness, the tender mare clutches him closer, his fading voice much too clear and glossy, glazed with madness and love, growing fainter with each ragged breath. Nostrils quivering, liquidy eyes threatening to spill an ocean, she thrusts back with everything she has the barrier to the way of tears, barracading the flood but straining and growing weaker, efforts to refuse its entrance dying. Ivory teeth clicking into place with the strain, she steams her chilled breath deeply into his thick mane, cuddled somewhere into the cool ache of his soul. Tender mind reeling, eating on the insane root that takes reason prison, she further buries herself, discovering remnants of bones and gold, sunken treasure, the wreck of the vaguely familiar ribs of a vessel she once knew, once had sailed, but stormy waters had snatched from her, and fate had rested it upon the sandy floor of the heavily torn sea washed within him. She loved him, she loved her free ship, and he held both her devotion and her vessel, her roving black eyes dialated with the fear that he would be lost at sea with both, crimson waves smashing with the vague smell of blood.* You will not die, I swear it... I want to stay with you forever, I want to sleep next to you every night, I want to kiss you...... I have never kissed you, Equi. *Dark eyes fluttering open, finding the great rush of his sweet blood filtering through his tattered hide, she shivers quietly, remembering the day she had met him, the first time she had admitted her love to him.* Being away from you freshened how much I love you, but my time is growing stale. Your love you call me... why dress me in borrowed robes? I cannot be what I am already not... what I have always been. Outsides change, insides cannot. *Watching him almost proudly, skipping through his twisted fields, she stiffens quietly, feeling the double crack of his heightened breath as his chest rolls in want of air beneath her, the swelling of the imperial throne she could not tie her mind to.* You perfect speaker. Your love is so great - what mare could possibly live up to it? What would you do if I left you... Equi, the earth has bubbles, as water has, and I am of them, one of them. If whisked away by a wave of air, I would be forgotten in no time. And you would have your other love... the way it was meant to be. Have peace, my love, the charm’s wound up. I’m leaving now, Equi... farewell. *Suddenly chilled to the bone, half-frozen in place, she stirs, but cannot pull her limbs to rise. Laying huddled together, lost somewhere in the other’s luxury, lapped in proof neither could find, each curbs the other’s lavish spirit, clinging together to choke their art. Unable to remove herself from his side as she had promised she would, blackened eyes pleading with his own, she trembles with another failing effort to rise, falling still as he connects with her gaze. Why can’t I leave you... Oh Equi, I love you , love you, love you, and I’m torn to pieces, she thinks desperatly, blurred sight baring all, not even trying to conceal a thing, energy exchanged in great leaping sparks between the currents within them. I promised you I wouldn’t hurt you, and I promised myself I would never be hurt again... Mind smoking with crazed resolutions, broken into pointed, jagged shards of glass spattered at the tip of her toungue in rolling waves, she moans unsteadily, shifting closer to his tattered body, wrought with carnage. Equi, I can’t say this outloud, through I wish I could, but I tell you on my grave that I won’t leave until I see that you can live without me... whatever you wish of me I swear, I’ll do, I’ll do, and I’ll do.*
