The Consequence of Power [Arianda]
Fri Dec 06, 2019 11:25 am
The sky so blue...
Clouds, puffy and white, all around her...
From up here, she could see all of the world.
From up here, she could...
Fall.
And fall...
Down into the waiting hands. Towards the hungry mouths. Towards the cacophony below, and into the waiting grasp of death.
Her screams echoed off the walls of a strange room. Her exposed skin, covered in a cold sweat, stuck to the blanket and sheets of a strange bed. Her voice was hoarse and dry, and her hair a matted mess around her distorted face.
Sylvia didn't realize for several seconds that it had just been a dream; another dream to remind her of the horrors of life. A nightmare she couldn't quite shake, like she could the sleep from her bloodshot eyes.
Her screams did stop, just like always, but it wasn't with the realization that she'd awoken in a hotel room she didn't remember coming to. This wasn't her private room at the Stadt des Lichts, either. She didn't know where she was, and for all the events of Beijing that were slowly coming back to her, she couldn't sense anything beyond the walls of the room.
She moved slowly, for her body ached and fought against her every attempt to rise from the bed. Eventually, she'd managed to remove the heavy comforter from atop her, and was reminded of what she'd done:
She wore only the spandex tank top and bottoms she'd had underneath her himmlische anzug. Her body was covered from head to toe in scars that were still trying to heal, and bruises of muscle pushed to its limits during the fight. Her leiden hant was gone, and likely lost amidst the chaos of the battleground. Her darting eyes found only the equipment she'd worn on one wrist sitting on the nightstand to her side.
She could feel nothing from them. Her attempt to drew them to her with her puppeteer's strings failed.
She had lost her powers.
