DELILAH EVERGARDEN
"The Gods have forsaken us."
She was older now- Delilah had noticed the creak in her bones, or maybe she was getting joint issues? Maybe she should have stretched her wings out on her adventure.. Massive wings opened, stretching out unused muscles before the sound of a voice made her flinch. Magenta eyes peered downwards, towards something much smaller than herself.
A child? Was it a child?
There were children in Tanglewood?
How long had it been..
Long, whip-like tail moved around to greet the young man before her as he greeted her, a coo-like greeting leaving the dragoness in return. It was soft, somehow something was lost from it- maybe more emotion? She didn't know how to explain it well. It was hard to feel when she felt so numb.
"Hello, dear.." Delilah spoke softly, soft horns atop her head shifting as she moved her head down to be at the right height. "My name is Delilah, I'm sorry if I frightened you in any way by suddenly appearing." She rumbled, grunting in surprise when she felt something brush up against her. She was still getting used to the fact that she could see again, after all. A low chitter of happiness left the female dragoness as the proxy said that nickname. That beautiful nickname..
"Aurum.." She chimed softly, leaning down to nuzzle her face against the angel's own, ignoring the cries of complaint from Lilith internally. Her friend, her friend was here- he was alive, he was safe. With clouded eyes and pained smiles, Delilah finally let the smell of relief leave her- sharp cherry blossoms, as if most of her scent due to her aesthetic element was blocked away, seemed to radiate around them, honeysuckle sprouting out in a crown and tangling in the halo above her head.
Hackles shook, taut muscles quivering as tears slipped past the woman's eyes. Wheezes of breath, long forgotten to talk about her problems. To just.. Say something. Mouth agape as the dragoness wheezed in air, trying to calm herself down before she finally spoke again.
"My child.. My precious child, he's gone.. He's gone, he's gone.. Renegade's gone.." She croaked out, exhaustion finally giving in as her legs gave out under her, the dragoness collapsing to the ground- pain, it was so painful. "Everyone's gone.. The past has left me here, to.. To suffer, maybe.. Or to ponder, I wonder.."
