Father, I return to you, naked as you birthed me, vulnerable and wondering. 
          	  
          	  Father, I return to you, holding you in mine heart that flutters with your holy light and breath. 
          	  
          	  Father, I return to you, devoid of body, soil for the earth you made,  yet seen by soul and spirit in your gaze.
          	  
          	  Father, I return to you, for your call I answer faithfully. 
          	  
          	  Father, I am home.
          	  
          	  
          	  
          	  
          	  and yet,                     he is not.

          	       is this a test? is this a punishment? 
          	  how can one see fate eye to eye when consumed in an endless abyss?
          	  how can one grab destiny when unable to catch it's gaze?
          	  
          	  then and now, there will come a time when we will meet again.
          	  there will come a time when I shall feel you and yet, will my changed self be able to correctly identify you?  will I be able to grab what has been cleaned and rewritten and add what was yours?
          	  
          	  you and me, once one, now torn to aching pieces that are trying to find each other through time and space.
          	  your light has been shining bright from the past to the present.
          	  it is only the circumstances that have changed.
          	  
          	  I SHALL FEEL YOU, MY UNAVOIDABLE DESTINY THROUGH THIS ABYSS.
          	  
          	  an encounter, a chance, a shift of fate.
          	  we are both changed and yet, there is an ancient truth that will always ring true.
          	  what has been written is bound to repeat itself until fulfilled.

⠀⠀⠀    ⠀⠀ ⠀ [⠀⠀⠀    ⠀ THE CHASM HOLLOW OF BREATH LEFT HIS NOSTRILS. SEE BEYOND THE LIGHT IN A CAVERN SWALLOWED BY THE SOARING WINDS, AND HE LED HER THROUGH THE MAZE ROW OF THE GARDEN. BUT THAT WAS IT, THE LAST SANCTUARY. between breath, and light. he pulled her close, so close that breath mingled, and he felt the coarse hair on the nape of his neck rise. he swallowed the sweetness of the lilies, inhaling the scent of juniper. his hands molded, cupping her face. but there was neither the mortal air, nor the leeway of breath. rurik pulled away, sliding his arm underneath synthia’s and, amidst the lush beauty of the garden, guided her onward with tenderness. the low hour of the early morning announced itself through the soft chirp of birds and the veil of fog. he let the tip of her finger glide against his throat.
          
          ⠀⠀⠀    ⠀⠀ ⠀ the rousing scent of the soul was holy incense, and he lowered his face, burying it within the crook of her neck. swift and pallid, where mortal met the unseen realm, his lips stretched and teeth grazed. slowly, with reverence and a touch as featherlight as prayer, he opened her arms and let the rendering of his affection rain kisses along her collarbone. ⠀⠀⠀    ⠀⠀ ⠀]
          
          ⠀⠀⠀    ⠀⠀ ⠀ make me yours. truly, yours. ⠀⠀⠀    ⠀⠀ ⠀ [⠀⠀⠀   and he hugged her slowly, walking her step by step toward the garden house. the soft drizzle of rain caught against his scalp, and he raised his head, casting a glance toward the heavens before reaching down to lift synthia entirely, setting her over his shoulder. they say the dance of two souls is a ceaseless thing, diverted but guided by mortal steps. thus, nay, he liked to believe. the true spirit of it came from the single shared breath of ruach.
          
          ⠀⠀⠀    ⠀⠀ ⠀ AND THIS? AS HE CARRIED HER TOWARD THE GAZEBO, HE SET HER CAREFULLY UPON THE EDGE OF ITS RAILING. HE COULD NOT HOLD HIMSELF STILL, AND THE SECOND SHE WAS SETTLED THERE, HIS HANDS FOUND HER FACE ONCE MORE. ⠀⠀⠀    ⠀ ]

  ((  her fingers pressed towards his locks, letting themselves bury inside them, entangled like they had been and were.  every inch of her earthly body spoke of him and of his proximity until space was nonexistent for it was nothing but unwanted.     there, underneath the protecting space of the gazebo's roofing, only his breath existed  and mattered.  the sound of rain persisted even as it left from the notice of her mind, masking the soft of sound she could no longer withheld.  joy was too little of a word at the sight and feel of him surrounding her senses and she let him take the lead in the dance of spirit for she had never been a dancer. until she met him.   ))

by God's grace and watchful eye,   you are already mine.  and I, rurik..        ((  synthia breathed, her words spilling against the rough stubble of his left cheek before her lips pressed warm tenderness against it before it threatened to suffocate her any farther.      soft fingers pressed against the clothed skin of his shoulders, their sturdy heat grounding her glazed mind.  her grey orbs opened more, revealing their golden and brown specs deeply rooted in them, as she let her gaze wonder over every sharp and soft edge of his visage, from the fiery of his locks to the gentle of his sweat as it trickled slowly down the cinnamon hues of his skin.    she stood enamored.  captured.   her mind, heart and spirit speaking of only him underneath the opening skies of God's divine grace.       rain began pouring over the landscape, a few drops turning into  heavy downpour in a matter of minutes, it's potent scent making her senses all the more hazed.  ))
            
                           I am yours.        and yours is only what I want to be.    ((   the words fell from her lips in honesty, their clearance quite intense in the fuzzy of her mind or the subtle closing of her gaze. as if the words where guided towards him, like birds trying to reach their destination.   in the endless push and pull of her soul's rhythmic beat, he was the words that accompanied it.  he was the breath thaf filled her lungs, the water that made her more parched than she had  been.  in their proximity, he was ground and sky, keeping her tied yet letting her spirit soar into a sky she had never once before been.    before and now, he became the essence she yearned for  and oh what a yearning that was. ))

   IN THE PEACEFUL HUSH《 @magicker 》
                       of the morning's rise, his presence spoke, tenderly and prominently, like the chirping of birds, and yet ever so overbearingly, like the sun's warmth.        her bright grey orbs fluttered half open as strings of light swarm her vision, energy, loud and clear, shimmering over him and her alike, just as everywhere else around the garden's grounds.  energy is could see and feel evidently.          stillness became a notion unknown as her feet glide against the stone pavement of the garden, it's subtle coolness grounding her senses just enough so that she could hold any remnants of sanity she still possessed. 
            
                      his name slipped past her rosy lips with fervor and warmth, melodious like the holy sound of prayers chant.  in the closeness of their spirits, she felt her earthly bounds unravel, until nothing but her bare soul pressed closer to his.    if fire was something unknown, he would be the definition,  for he spoke and held it, giving birth to it inside her spirit like nature gave birth to trees, like God's breath giving it's neverending, undying essence. ))
            
            
                 ((    his words rang like the echoing sound of a gong inside her, stirring her soul alive, along with all of it's aching and parching thirst.    ))

    SWEET AND AIRY 《 @dygougr 》
                   was the sound of her giggle at his words.   she did not expect in the sizzle of the atmosphere to listen to such words uttered from his mouth and certainly not in the empty training grounds where she had come to hear and feel of his training.  ))
            
                   what to do with you.  (( synthia spoke as her thumbs caressed the smooth skin of his cheeks, her clouded orbs staring up towards him faithfully.  a small smirk spread on her lips then, a result of her cheeky thoughts  as she tiptoed towards him, her body pressing onto his, as she let her lips  press against the skin of his cheek she has just caressed ever so tenderly.  ))
            
                      you want a kiss here or.. ((  she spoke softly, words teasing only for his ears, as she let her lips press a second kiss onto his jawline and then a third one towards his neck purposely.  she had understood what he had meant when referring to a kiss,  yet tenderness pressed so firmly against her lungs.   she wanted to tease him.  to see his reaction and yet she knew, she would gjve him what he desired sooner rather than later. ))    or here?

            *the dam breaks. her humanity shatters open, and she cries into her hands, trying to stifle the sound. why is it so overwhelming. with shaky breaths, palms sliding against the fabric of her dress, she rises to her feet and wipes her cheeks.*        uhm.. i should go. i’m too much of a mess. and gosh, this scent is so beautiful. its all i can think about. holy and pure. its like i can’t escape him anywhere i go. isn’t that ironic? even my confession is just of /him./

            *a shaky laugh slips out of her, thin and nervous. the incense is strong, holy, heady, and it makes her feel tottering, wrapped in a slow, lulling comfort. the irony of it all hits her at once, and the laugh trembles into something softer.. until the tears come. before she realizes it, her hand reaches out, fingers gripping the wooden wall between them, the one with the little carved boxes. the voice on the other side is far too /soft,/ but in a way that undoes her. it soothes her so deeply it feels like she is hearing his voice rather. slowly, she lets go of the wall, wiping at her cheeks. but the tears keep spilling, overflowing until she hiccups.*
            
            i.. uhm. sorry,   *she stutters, the truth swelling on her tongue, impossible to shape.*    no sin. or maybe. i dont know. i mean, i know everyone falls short of God’s glory, but i.. /this../      *love pours out of her in the rise and fall of her breath, in the tremble of her lips. she closes her mouth, unable to translate the feeling into anything human.*    i’m sorry. i dont think i have it in me to confess. i dont know whats wrong with me.    
            
            *the faces flashing through her mind, the pressure of a light pressing at the back of her thoughts, she can’t hold it anymore. the words break free.*    i love /Him./ i love him and i dont know how not to. or how it is possible to breathe. because if i don’t see him, if i can’t feel him, its like something in me forgets how /simple/ breathing is. i’ve never felt this. it’s not even a feeling. its a presence. is this normal? is this how everyone else confesses? because i know i am the worst of sinners, but i know my love is not a /sin./

⠀⠀⠀    ⠀⠀ ⠀ [⠀⠀⠀    ⠀THE REAPER’S VALLEY WAS THAT OF A SUNDERING ASAIL, STRETCHED ACROSS DRY BONE AND SHATTERED SKULLS. wind wandered through the carcass of the land with the mournful sound of something dying slow beneath God’s forgotten eye. between the calve of branches, thin and long vines held her suspended like the crescent of a moon, softened by some meagre fragility the valley itself did not deserve. dust drifted through the pale shafts of light cutting between the trees. somewhere far below, unseen things groaned within the rot.
          
          ⠀⠀⠀    ⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀    step. step. step.
          
          ⠀⠀⠀    ⠀⠀WÜLFRIC RAISED HIS SNIPER. through the grime gathered upon the scope, the reflection of the sun struck hard enough to sear across his visor. his teeth ground together with the rigor of strain whilst a hiss slipped from him. fingers hooked beneath the edge of his mask, tugging it down enough to draw a breath of intoxicating air. cleaner here. not yet wholly spoiled like the wasteland beyond the valley’s teeth. ⠀⠀⠀    ⠀━━━━━━━ ✴︎ just as his gaze lowered back toward the scope, he spotted movement. and then it moved again. bloody hell, it moved. the tendrils of branch and vine unfurled from her slowly, releasing her weightless as silk cast adrift upon water. the greenland shuddered. roots beneath the tree twisted violently, and the earth lurched hard enough to throw him off balance in the span of a blink. wülfric cursed, bracing for impact. 
          
          ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ✴︎ ━━━━━━━  the next second, something seized him and hauled him into the air. gravity tore at him whilst the wind screamed against his armor. instinct alone formed his arm into a sharp V against the pull, muscles locking beneath the sudden violence of motion. the valley beneath opened wide to welcome him, though it no longer looked green from this height. only bone. only rot. only the pale ruin of the dead scattered like broken scripture across the earth. ⠀⠀⠀    ⠀]

uriel   (( she mumbled underneath her breath, the name she had given to him in her mind, God's divine light.    her naked feet drove her towards him, brown dress shifting in the subtle wind as she walked against it before her grey orbs, the center of her irises holding golden and brown flakes within them, stared observingly at him, going over his body to make sure no wound had remained marred on his skin.     after a few silent moments she let her hands gently take a hold of his, starring up at his grey orbs before bringing his hand upwards slightly, her head leaning forward to press his knuckles towards her forehead.  )) 
              
                    thank you.  for saving me.   ((  she spoke, warmth held in her voice as she let his hand down, holding it still, while a smile spread on her rosy lips, her golden locks moving with the wind. ))    I am synthia.    what's your name?   or, perhaps first, how are you feeling?

this is as real as it gets, I'm afraid.   (( the elder woman responded, subtle sorrow shining through the earthy hues of her orbs.  synthia's brows pulled towards each other over her words before the sound of s man's pain filled grunt shook her from her thoughts.  her gaze turned towards her left, catching the glimpse of tan skin, filled with wounds and overtaken with sweat, thrashing about.    her instincts drove her standing before the woman's words, her bare feet taking her towards him steadily, golden locks having taken the color of blood that was not her own, she knew.  she could feel his energy now, clear and ringing in her ,mind, her eyes perceiving teh shade of God's fire before them on his entire being.   her hands hesitated not int their endeavor as she began healing his wounds and through the touch of his skin, she had felt him, not only as an existence, but as something far beyond this realm.   and she knew, it was him who had healed her. him who had saved her.  him who had answered her prayer, God's messenger, to her eyes and mind.    the wounds slowly transferred to her skin, carving the agony he felt, yet her body endured it more than normally.  once his breathing  had evened again, she pulled back, as if scorched by fire. )) 
            
            
                  [..]     ((   the following days went by peacefully.  synthia had learned that they had been in a land where destruction was still far from and where nature was still as God had intended, a well running circle of life.      she had slowly began to take good hold of her newfound sight, letting her eyes adjust to what was normal for many other human beings besides her, yet foreign to herself.      on the 15th day of their stay, he had awaken.   his sight shook her more than she had expected, the basket of medicinal plant falling from her grasp as she stood frozen for a moment.  ))

I see you have awakened, child.  take it easy now.   your body hasn't be through little.  ((  a voice came out of thin air causing synthia's attention to turn towards it only to stare at a short, sweet looking elderly woman, her grey hair long and wavy, and clothes loose and comfortable.  synthia slowly tried to stand up in order to walk towards her, yet the attempt was short lived as her feet trembled with the weakness she had still felt within her bones, causing her to fall back on the bedding ungracefully.  ))  now, now, what did I tell you.  ((  she heard the woman speak and a kind hand pressed against her forehead swiftly after.  overwhelmed, she stood still under the woman's searching gaze, until, a bit timid, she spoke. ))    where am I?    is this.. a dream?  (( her voice held the confusion in which her mind and body where currently at, both trying to register all at once that was happening.   one fact remain unsolvable.  she had been blind since birth and yet here she was now, seeing completely normally, as if that was God's will from the start.  how could that be?  ))

          ⠀⠀⠀    he became synthia’s guide simply by standing behind her. the earth, soft with moss and quiet grace, shifted beneath their steps. yet it was the lush wind, and his hands, how effortlessly they fashioned guidance from the empty air. he remained near, though never so near as to grant her the solid confines of his chest. the sun cast its molten heat upon the nape of his neck. ⠀⠀⠀ ✴︎ ━━━━━━━  there was no sound, and yet he heard it. in the quiet woodland beside the river. in the towering trees whose branches reached toward greater heights. it lingered within the cool breeze. though he stood still, some part of him did not. found within the solace of that vibrant rhythm, he drew her toward him, unable to hold himself back any longer. burying his face within the crook of her neck, he lingered there a moment before slowly rising, stealing what remained of her breath. ⠀⠀ ⠀]⠀⠀⠀

         I have been desiring that for quite some time now...my love.  ((  the endearment fell soft and fluid from her lips despite the shyness that engulfed her, her lungs aching with the need of her breath and his to mix and mingle once more. ))

                       of their surroundings for in his embrace the world seemed to fade, everything narrowing to the pleasant warmth of his touch against her hand and waist, of the excruciating fire from his breath against her neck and of his scent that engulfed her ever so firmly and wholly, just like he did. )) 
            
                  ((  her bare feet moved through the cold stone smoothly, only to then moments later press against the firm softness of earth's grassy soil with swift grace of movement underneath his watchful and tender guidance.    in the peace of the environment, her heart seemed too loud in her ears as her eyes, clouded and yet different, looked toward him, muted shapes of light and darkness painting her vision.      with the pause of his steps came the overwhelming closeness of his being against her own, his embrace solid and yet filled with softness.  as they parted, the remnants of his breath stuck on her lips in a way she had no available words to describe.  it left her body burning from inside out, heart heart aching with longing as a soft laugh escaped her whilst following his guidance, twirling around.  she did not show down as she returned to his embrace,  her hands gently and tenderly followup the expansion of his arms towards, her fingers brushing upon his clothed skin, before resting on the solid width of his chest, feeling the soft thumbing of rurik's own hearth beneath her touch.  ))
            
                    what a tongue you have.
