never to accept

Name: Mischa
Story: tales from the drowned world

Summary: Kyrion will never see that smile, hear that laugh again.


In his dreams, Myca smiles, shy and brief and bittersweet: in his dreams, Melantha laughs, clear and bright, her voice without shadows. Kyrion will never see that smile, hear that laugh again: Myca is dead and Melantha shattered, and he couldn’t save them. He should have done more. Should have, could have, didn’t, failed-

(blaming himself is easier than accepting that they could never have been saved)

The whole thing is so sad and it STILL ends on a gutpunch.
