Darkness met the soul that wandered aimlessly, searching for a body to take on so that she could see them again, see Moth and Aurum and Elsweyr and Arrow. As she found one, dark black against glowing blue stripes and a strange patch of blue-ish mushrooms that grew on the top of the tigeress' neck, and placed herself within it, darkness still met her. Confused and, more importantly, scared, she tried to sit up only to tip over onto the other side, fur meeting damp, swampy grass. So she was still within the swamp? What? Why couldn't she see? It seemed that with the absense of sight her hearing was more sensitive, as would be a little natural.

Staggering to her feet the scared girl sniffed the air. Tanglewood's scent still hung there and that was enough for relief to wash over the girl. Words failed her, only hoarse stuttering before she found them again. "M-Moth? Help..! Can't... can't see! Where Moth!?" She cried out, completely still as her ears swiveled around on her dark head. A lump formed in her throat, tears pricking at the glazed glowing sea-green eyes. "Where Moth?" Why couldn't she see anything? What would she do? How useful could she even be, unable to see and write and draw?

Arrow was gettin’ real sick and tired of all the blood and gore recently. First all of the Coalition and Vigenere becoming lemon rinds, then Elsweyr, now Seven. It gave her the worst possible sense of déjà vu, memories of a bloodier past that she would have rather squashed down into her subconscious with her paws instead of relive it with different faces. Just made more graves, nothing else came out of it. None of that coming out stronger bullshit for her, no sir.

What she was not ready for was Seven rolling back into the swamp almost immediately, which was startling even for her, y’know, the ex-ghost. But she had a year of radio silence, Seven had like, hours. It was the voice first that caught her attention, echoing though the trees and causing the cheetah to stumble around like a moron trying to recalibrate following her shock.

A new body meant the lack of anything familiar to track her down, unfortunately. So it did take her a little while to find the tigress. And even then, she looked so...different. Been there done that. ”Sev?” Arrow asked cautiously, swallowing thickly at the words that rang in her ears in the most awful way.

Can’t see.

Arrow attempted to lay her tail across Seven’s shoulders, purposely stepping on a branch to make her location clearly known, voice and scent aside. ”Hey, hey, Sev. Easy does it, we’re gonna go find Moth, alright?” That was the least she could do, but she didn’t know what Moth would be able to do about this. Blindness was sorta...permanent. And she didn’t like the glassy look in those eyes.

The sound of Arrow usually would have filled the Tigress with a bit of relief, but she wanted comfort, safety. She wanted Moth above all else right now. Volatile the response, lips lifting in a silent snarl as the tail placed upon her shoulders. Not Moth. Not comfort. But slowly she resolved, relaxing a bit at the suggestion they find Moth. "Find... Find Moth..." She rumbled, ears swiveling around.

She still felt that grief in her chest. Seeing Seven like that. It didn't seem fair. She remembered being told about when she had been taken and then the Coalition had brought her back. Strange behavior but it did nothing to regain anything from the burning lioness. The girl was innocent, she had been hurt before and seeing her dead like that had stirred something in the woman. She could still feel that anger, like rolling flames shifting inside of her. She breathed out and then in again, trying to just make it through the day when a sudden cry out made her jolt. Blinking her bright blue eyes the woman heard familiarity in the voice and she pulled herself from the path that she had been walking. As she crossed the pass her eyes landed on Arrow who was helping someone. The name Seven wandering through the air. This for a moment shocked her because she had just died so recently. But from her own experiences perhaps this was not so odd.

She had burned herself alive to kill the old flesh, the old body and be reborn as something new. Her home had went up in flames and she understood that these lands had strange things. "She will go and get Moth. She will know what to do." She looked at her soulmate with concern before turning to do just that and fetch Moth, to bring her to Seven. There would be joy that the girl was back and safe but her exclamation of not being able to see was concerning.

Well, she'll be damned. Seven had come back... It was peculiar for the Pendragon seeing as her family members died and they normally stayed dead. It made her think of the possibility of herself dying at some point but that was something she did not want to think about even if there was the smallest possibility of her coming back. She would not risk it and nor did she have plans of any time soon given her situation. Sophiea had made a place for herself within Tanglewood and she was in a relationship with the most beautiful woman there was... Goldenluxury Roux bringing out a better person out of her... Which was amazing, she'd admit yet she chose to continue being closed off with some of her clanmates seeing as she didn't know all of them quite yet. A soft sigh leaving her maw at the thought but she pushed them away as she approached with a frown on her maw blinking at Seven's new form. "How odd..." The British woman mumbled under her breath but then shook her head lightly as she continued with a light nod "Welcome back... Moth should be here soon enough..."

Aurum hadn't truly processed Seven's death in the hours since she had passed away, but it had taken a toll. He couldn't help but vividly feel the pain that had settled in his chest, remorse over the fact that he hadn't been able to know her better. He had wanted to, but she had needed time. Unfortunately, it had seemed as though she would never get that precious time she needed. Now, though... he was never so glad to be wrong about something.

The call of the frightened girl rang out through the air, and although the tone had changed slightly due to the change in body, it was still familiar. Aurum's head had immediately jerked upwards upon hearing it, gaze wide and surprised as he moved from the edges of town towards the source of the voice. It seemed impossible that she would be back so soon, especially since he had been helping to bury her body only hours earlier. When he arrived, though, sure enough – it was her. Granted, she was in a different form, but it was still Seven inside. Feeling a rush of relief flow through him, the luminary waited for a moment before speaking up, "Like the others said, I'm sure that Moth will be here very soon..." He made no comments about her eyes, but he could certainly see what the issue was. After all, he had dealt with others that were blind in the past. However, saying anything about it right now would do none of them any good. Seven was surely already panicking about it, and while Aurum knew that she could live a good life even with her new condition, he was sure that she didn't feel that way. And she probably wouldn't, at least not for a while.

IT MUST BE BELIEVED TO BE SEEN

Moth had admittedly never dealt with blindness before, and had been hoping that she would never have to. Although the eyes saw nothing in those who had it, they still held emotions when someone was scared or worried, they still moved and shook when in anger and awe, and she never wanted to have to see the face of someone as she told them that their lack of seeing would be permanent. She didn't think that she would have the strength to hold face if she had to tell someone that. So when Elsweyr had come to get her, to let her know she was needed at the border and why, Moth's heart sunk to her stomach.

She hadn't had the time to grieve her daughter's death when she had found out that she was now alive once more, scared, confused, and seeking her help. She couldn't help but release a sigh of relief when she saw the other, saw that she was - for the most part - okay, even if she was in a new body. After all, the body Moth was in now was not the one she had when she had first arrived in Tanglewood. It happened often on the island as a whole. Paws moved forward to the other, an attempt to press against her made as the - hopefully familiar - scent of herbs would reach her heightened senses. "It's okay Sev, I'm here." She would coo, pulling back for just a moment, to look towards the other, ears pinning to her head as she saw the glowing eyes and the fear they held. "I'm right here and we're going to figure out what's going on. I know it's scary, but it'll be okay no matter what happens." She could only hope that it was simply the weird glow that came from her eyes that made her blind, that it would go away when she calmed down and understood what was going on, but she feared it was more than that.

She paid the surroundings no mind, Aurum's voice lost to her as she stood and waited. It was all she could do. The scent of herbs, of Moth, stirred her movement, a gentle rumble escaping her as her mother pressed against her. The absence made her whine gently, though she sat down.

The glow flickered but the fear in her eyes stayed. "I can't see.. Mom I can't see." she forced herself to speak, biting the inside of her cheek.
