[private] I saw a shooting star late last night

[Agetta]

— I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night —

Agetta remembers standing in a frozen river, talking to a stranger about how to forgive herself for her mistakes. This is certainly one. Although the child growing inside of her was created out of strife, even though she had fought and lost against the dark god, she only blames herself. Blaming him feels too easy - and it is not an easy thing to break years and years of practiced guilt.

So she does what she can to live with it, to wish on every star that there are no more challenges for her. She's so tired and rest is far overdue. More than what sleep can ever give her.

She drifts to the river now, remembering a time a few years ago when she had stood in the freezing water and talked about forgiveness and death.

There was no dried blood on her from a healed broken neck this time, no pointless attempts at death. Although shapeshifting is a little awkward while she is pregnant, she’s pulled on the comfort of her snow leopard form and is resting in the snow - her dark blue eyes staring out at the ocean where the river mingles with it, watching the horizon disappear with the sun.

No thoughts swarm through her mind which is a relief. She'll take whatever moments of peace her mind will give her.
