would you spend your whole life with me,
Alone.
She is something she has never been before – totally lost in Beqanna. What is a child of a ruling dynasty, a creature who has always known one place as her true home, when that place is gone? When her family is scattered to the four winds, and she can’t find any of them? What does that make her?
Nairne doesn’t know, except that the loss and loneliness have filled her with a desperate sadness, something she has never known. Before, she could always count on the Falls to be there; she could count on the song of the Kingdom to fill her heart and the other loyal subjects of her beloved home to give her someone to love, even if her own family was not there. Like many of her ancestors, simply standing in the blue waters of their waterfall had soothed her, above and beyond the healing powers.
But it’s gone, and she stands alone in the Meadow with nothing and no one.
The loss of magic doesn’t affect her – Nairne, despite the varied abilities of her parents, had never had any powers of her own. But the loss of the Falls? It is a crippling thing, and one she feels in the sharpness of every breath, the prickle of tears that come at the strangest times but she always blinks away. The buckskin mare is beyond grateful that her mother had stayed away, wandering the rest of the world somewhere with her father. What hurts in the very fabric of Nairne’s being would have shattered Natilyn beyond repair.
She could go look for them – they tend to frequent the same haunts, and though they are far away, Nairne knows the way – but even that she feels she cannot do. What does she have to show for it? Six generations of Falls residents before her yielded nine Queens, eight Kings, and at least one General, and Nairne achieved nothing higher in the Falls than living there. She doesn’t even have the excuse of love taking her away from her duties as her parents had – Nairne has loved no one except her siblings, parents, and grandparents.
No, she cannot go back to the mother and father and tell them their homelands are gone, extinguished as if they never were, and not even have a grandchild or lover to present. But neither can she function here, with everything she has known gone.
Something has to give, and she doesn’t know what it will be.
would you be there to always hold me down?
Nairne
