She stood there looking down from the window, the stretch of darkness going as far as the eyes could see. There were flickers of light on the horizon, a storm approaching slowly, perhaps signifying her own emotions bubbling just below the surface. The desire to turn and look back at the room now less filled made her heart clench up, things missing but other things lingered to bring her down into the pit of despair. His smell permitted the chambers, the memories of leather and blood. The scent of lands he'd been to..all she had now were gifts and memories left behind, things that made her eyes tear up and burn as she fights to keep them from spilling any more as she lifted her chin and clenched her jaw in the war of raw emotions.
What she lost, others flocked to shelter her, keep her from spilling into that pit. But it wasn't the same. Her heart had left her, the pain making her ill by now at her loss. Sacrifices in the end were meaningless, even the latest one of leaving Obsidian and all those friends she'd kept secret. Those same friends that constantly made an effort to check on her...
A warmth come up behind her and then arms, multiple one's as her children came and embraced her behind. She was so much smaller then her own children..her son had grown tall like his father but kept the lankiness of her own stature..her daughter was adorably plump and reminded her of her mother at times. Though it brought a smile to her lips, the tears were set free and spilled like a river as she started shaking uncontrollably to fight not to cry infront of them. Not to show weakness so that they could be always strong where as she was weak willed..always emotional. That curse that finally caused him to leave...what would she do now, that she was once more on her own? Though there were many around she still felt alone, that one thing that made her feel alive..safe...happy....It was all gone.
The tug of many arms pulled her away from the window and she allowed them to guide her away, her children putting her to bed with herbs that would help her sleep. Watching over their mother.
