ALL TO CONDEMN ME,
MY FACE IS STILL PROUD!

She couldn't save everyone. Ares hadn't come to realize it but beneath the anger in her soul she had to have known. Maybe she wouldn't had been so broken, so crying when she saw Laeglin fall beneath the boardwalk that night. Wounded body moving too slow to make it for him. To slow. So very slow. A yell of alarm ripped from her and she stood at the edge of the fallen boardwalk. "Lae-LAEGLIN? Laeglin, please!? Please come up! PLEASE!" She wanted to think it was a joke. But the lack of movement, lack of resurgence, settled the stone of dread in her. And she couldn't swim.

"Laeglin.. Laeglin... Lae.." Breath caught in anger and she turned her head toward the shore. "SOMEONE - ANYONE - PLEASE! LAEGLIN'S UNDERWATER.. I-I CAN'T SWIM!" The scream as thrown into the night air. Softly she wheezed. "I can't swim.. I can't... I.." What would she even do? He was bigger than Ares.. What would she even do? Swallowing her rage she stepped back from the edge then stepped back to it. Selfish girl, thinking she could give herself a chance to live. "I... I can't.." I can't save everyone.
