"These crosses all over my body,"

There were many times the Adunian imagined how she would die…

"Remind me of who I used to be..."
 

Living in the shadows of her past of a failed community…
The shadow of her Sister she had long craved to be free from…
That heavy cross that hung around her neck…

"And Christ forgive these bones I'm hiding..."

She had thought she finally got out…
Having a kid… Redith Lorcán Horisp
Getting a fiance… Roylan Ser Grant
Making new friends…
Gaining new Family... Aiyeis Acal'Turrii

"From no one successfully..."

But magic was never a gift…
Not when it was dark in origin…
It was a trade- and in the end
The price had to be paid…

‘Shink!

A spike sliced open her throat, a very real sense of fear going through her- just like when an arrow from the past had struck her trapezius. Though only this time, she could feel her life slipping as she fell to her knees- the sands below her staining in deep crimson.

It was almost like drowning again… that feeling of burning in one’s throat as water invaded their lungs and nose- but only this time… it was thicker- her own essence spilling past armored fingers as the sound of her sword slipping through her fingers was barely heard.

Pain… Panic- Oh how it filled her very being like a sickness.
Her Genus she used now flooding her lips, her lungs, her heart straining to keep on beating!
But it all stopped with one
Final

‘Squelch!’

Everything eased away… the pain quickly snuffed out as Basha found her eternal rest…
Her face forever morphed with tears and fear at what had transpired.

Basha never thought she’d pay her price in Blood, and die doing it…
 

But perhaps- finally… she could go home…

It was a pleasure to roleplay Basha... and I am sad to see her story has finally ended. But do not let her memory be forgotten...
Thank you to everyone who roleplayed with her, and may Basha have had a place in your hearts- whether good or bad.

The old Oyashiman remained largely unaware of Basha's passing, and yet, the days grew longer, and the Adunian did not return to her room. Hesperia pursed her lips tightly and muttered a prayer for her safety, wherever she may be.

Aiyeis would visit their grave as she had once done for their sister, Meredith. A bundle of lavender bound by loose lace in hand. For some time, she would stand there, listless. She had known that one day this day would come to pass but she did not think it so soon. Crouching, she would place the bundle atop the burial. 

 

"You will be missed, Basha Horisp."

 

And with that, she'd shift her grip upon the dragon head of her cane, using it to steady herself as she stood, some pain flickering across her sullen features. Brushing briefly at her dress, the mali'thill would move to mount her yisar that meandered nearby. A final look was given to the area before she rode off. The old woman, once a girl, was now just a distant memory.
