[Nashua]

I would keep you, Nashua. 

He had kept her words with him out on the Isle. When winter had come - bitter and cold - those words had stayed with him and kept him warm when they shouldn’t have. He had kept something of hers, and perhaps that is the reason why he sought her out now. What Illuminae had said had stayed with him.

But she had claimed that she would keep him from his family, that she would ruin everything if she left him. She had said that, and Nash had known that it was a lie. The only path to ruin would lie with him, and he took it because something in him had finally succumbed to the darkness within. It had only been a moment, and yet that was all it took because Nash had known what he felt should have been the reason to put distance between them. 

For Noel’s sake, and for Illuminae, he should have stayed on the Isle. 
He should have left them all alone. 

But he hadn’t, and so now he ventured through Taiga, through the Common Lands, searching for a trace of the mare that had once saved his life.

@illuminae short but wanted to get things rolling <3
