So I wasn't going to upload this.
But I was told to anyway. :shrug:
Vel (Little Female) and arts are mine,
Chel is ~Cobalt180 's
Except like, not possessed this time.
And he's dead.
So that's why this little adorbs is impossible.



Vel was alone, which, in her mind was the best place to be. The water was just feet over the cliff’s edge. If she moved a step closer— she’d fall. To be honest, it was that thought that haunted her off and on. What if she didn’t actually want to be here..? If Sarka had never shown up, she would have died honorably, she would have been able to see her brother, she would have mended so many friendships somewhere far off on her journey.

If that gun..

She glanced down at her hands, scarred in deep purple wounds, only weeks old. So many opportunities, wasted. She shook her head. There was so much she blamed, and burdened on herself. So much that meant so little to anyone. They could never understand her. Perhaps they thought they knew pain, perhaps they knew their own pain, but not a soul could pry her off of these cliffs in these times of thought.

What if this Cliffside just.. gave in..? It could mean the end of her problems, the end of her scars, and thoughts, and heartache. It could free her. But was there a price? There was always a price.. This city needed her, and she knew it, but there was nothing here for her, just loneliness, more burdens, and sadness. She belonged with no one. Not now, not a soul should ever have to deal with her and her terrors. She was a bloody nightmare, covered in scars, and mental wounds. She could hurt someone, and because of that, she was afraid.

She tried to be open, but bitter in public, when she was forced outside. The more.. Depressed she was feeling the more bitter she’d come off as. It only seemed to be getting worse. She was doing a good job at what she was assigned to do, she was a born leader, and nothing of that seemed hard— but people began to grow worried, noticing her signs of instability. It would only be a matter of time before it was brought to someone who knew hers’ attention.. And she was very unsure if she’d be able to tell them what was going on.

All of the deaths, all friends she knew slaughtered. Everyone. Every. Last. One. Hit a replay in her mind. She shuddered, shaking her head, tears pooling down her cheeks. Everyone could get over this, perhaps the pain and loss was still there— but she couldn’t stop thinking of them. Each soul lost because of her. Because she could not stand up and protect them.

She couldn’t protect Ven, or any of her Zealots. She couldn’t protect Sarka, or Chel, or Evra’s parents. She could not protect her own shipmaster. These were her everlasting burdens. No one could tell her otherwise. These deaths were her heavy burdens, people who she.. Had.. In her reach.. But..

But..

She was too weak..

..Too weak and afraid..

But that hasn’t changed.. And the waters below aren’t afraid. The rocks here will not lie to her. And those above, they wait for her— or she hopes that at least a few do. She wonders if they talk to her as much as she talks to them.

I think she'd feel extremely overwhelmed, and might start crying.
