Closer to the Heart

Closer to the Heart

Postby Thorn » Fri Aug 08, 2003 1:20 am

The pounding of her heart fully stirred her awake even as Thorn gasped for air. The midmorning light within the Edificium was creeping softly over her bed, even as eyes fully opened and she stared hard at the ceiling. It was indeed not a dream, nor a nightmare that laid her in this place. Mind muddled, she tried to remember what had gone on, until turning over, she near howled in pain; looking to that newly scorched area of skin upon her midsection, the sudden images of the night before near slammed her back into that bed.

Audmathus.

Thorn cursed at herself, as the ring of fire burned brightly in her mind. She had come so close...so very close to killing him. Closer still, had she only had the patience as not to try and tear his head off, perhaps she would have gotten all of the ingredients. It mattered little for her troubles now. The only thing she could honestly claim as a trophy from the fight, was the goblet now full of Audmathus' blood which still rested upon the table beside her. She was thankful that it was not disturbed, and indeed, found herself to be more or less still wounded from the minor cuts that would eventually heal in time. Whatever the man had used for closing the wound in her stomach though, would take a long time to stop being so painful.

Thorn let out a sigh, leaning back against the pillows as her eyes stared at the ceiling. "So close.." She whispered to herself, touching the dirty tunic, and looking at her still slightly bloodstained arms where the disfigured grooves had caught the crimson liquid. "So very close..." Eyes closed, even as her ears listened to the various bustle around the Edificium. Let the days of healing begin.
