Solstice
Chapter 14
I...
Was...
En...
RAGED!!!
My wolves
were
nonplused, alert
to my rage but sensing no enemy. My ravens had no answers....
I was
Furious! HOW DARE SHE!?
This was MY domain. Iwas the center of attraction
here. I
was
the one everyone was 'oohing' and 'awing' over. I was the one
everyone
was fussing over. I was the one everyone was honoring.
She was NOT.
She was
doing what
she pleased.
Where She
pleased.
When She
pleased.
My WILL over
her
was Nil *laughs*
My Will over
Me,
however, was Not.
The other
guests
and attendants,
spectators and healers, all faded away as I LEAPED at the
Goddess
of the Past!!
She didn't
flinch. She simply
stood there as all the scenarios melded into One, her eyes swirling,
focusing
into a single pair of pale blue eternity which gazed at me unblinkingly.
I flew off
my
bed/platform/dais/chair.
And as I
flew
through space I Aged....
A century a
second
washed over me.
Like some wild, fast animation movie, my nails grew inches, curling,
yellowing...
My hair sprouted a foot; coarse, wiry, gray locks... My blood turned
thick,
sludge, mud, dried... My flesh shriveled, grew taught, hardened into
leather,
stretched and pulled across fragile bones... bones cracked, broke,
splintering
and shattering into dust...
And I melted
into
a cloud of dust,
floating upon the winds, towards a pair of Eternal Eyes...
