Somewhere in a corner, forsaken

[Apollonous 144]

Somewhere, behind a building in the southern regions of Almaris sits an elfess. This elfess would be Apollyon Snowell. Dressed in brown leather boots, dark jeans and a light beige flannel. Her shirt lacked an entire right sleeve from the shoulder-down where one could see the atronach arm mainly made with black ferrum that had replaced Apollyon’s original limb. The arm was built with aurum in the joints of the fingers and her elbow but it didn’t matter how fine-crafted it was because just like the rest of Apollyon, it was also covered in dust.

 

 Somewhere, in a dusty, dirty corner, on a pile of sand Apollyon was left behind. Disregarded for the rats and scorpions to feast on alike. She sat up right, with her bloodied head tilted to the side, that would likely lead to terrible neck pains when she wakes from her unconscious state.

Somewhere, all alone and freezing for the third night in a row, sits an elfess, now awake but expressionless as she stared at the spider that had found it’s way onto her lap. Only as the spider scaled her further, and climbed onto her shoulder did she muster up the energy to turn her head to watch its path. Soon, as the spider disappeared from sight entirely, Apollyons grey, blank gaze moved up further and set itself on her already scarred, but still attached ear that had been nailed to the wall behind her at it’s very tip.

 Somewhere, in a corner, desolated, sits an elfess. Still nailed to the wall but now all out of water. Despite tugging on the nail for days with her metal hand, it wouldn’t budge. Maybe, maybe if she had her sword, the same sword she had made for her by the Ireheart clan during her childhood she could have pulled it out, but it didn’t matter because it had been looted by the same Paladin that had nailed her to the wall. 

Somewhere, the elfess had gone, the red nail however had not, but it did manage to keep a piece of Apollyon with it. Another defunct piece of her that would likely never  remerge with her again.
