The Red Moon Of Rosantine

_ DREAMS _ 08

The lady reached her hand high up, as if she were trying to catch something when she stopped. her hand high up, she froze and after a few moments of silence, she let her hand down.

“say eloria, what’s the point of all this…?”

The lady was talking to eloria in her mind as she turned back to look eloria right into her eyes. Those lifeless, yet so full of emotions, sweet but acidic eyes that reflected liquid sunsets of twilight were staring right into eloria’s eyes. Her face was still buried in her hair, but eloria could tell the pain she was in. her eyes alone clearly expressed that this lady had suffered so much to the point where it had become nothing. Being just a pure soul, she gathered her energy and stood up, hugging the lady tightly.

“how am I supposed to know what a lady went through when I’ve always been surrounded by blessings and such? I’m a terrible human compared to this girl, what have I done to you both..”

Eloria’s mind went blank.

“wait, what?”

Her mind went blank as an empty page as a memory flashed in her mind, which she was sure of wasn’t hers. But strange enough, she herself was in the memory. It was a memory she possibly couldn’t recall as she was sure that it wasn’t even real. Suddenly, she found herself in a town, which appeared to be burning as she found someone crying in front of her. It was a small kid who was hugging his knees while sobbing loudly. The town seemed unfamiliar but had a lingering scent of warmth, and the boy’s hair color reminded her of someone familiar.

“could it really be…what the hell are you doing here..?”

The coal black hair, shined in the bright fire brighter then sun, as she stuttered

“Xilver…?”

The boy’s weeping stopped as he heard his name and looked up, making contact with eloria’s emerald eyes. His expression turned from sadness to relief and happiness as he rushed over to hug eloria. Xilver was just a kid yet his body felt bigger, and it was then when she realized eloria herself was a child. Seeing her calm and gentle brother crying so deeply, it moved her to tears too as she hugged back without any words. As soon as she did, she felt Xilver tighten his grip on her, hugging her protectively. He started to sniffle and sob again and eloria being silent and speechless, patted his back with her small hands.

That was the end of the memory as she flinched after coming back to reality and found herself still embracing the lady. The lady stopped moving and looked at eloria, with a warm smile on her face, putting her index finger on her lips

“you’ve always been there, so never think of yourself as a nuisance ever again. Ill be beside you whenever you feel that way, so remember this part of you, please.”
