The Golden Tether

Journal/Guestbook

    • Of light and shadows..

      I’ve lost count how many days have passed now. They all seem to blur into one. Not once has my dragoness opened her eyes. To say that I ache for her return.. there are few words profound enough to convey how much I miss her. She sleeps, taken from me again by circumstances beyond my control.

      The days have been long. The nights.. unbearable. But were it not for the kindness of a few perfect strangers, I know not what I would have done. It was by chance that I came across them, an old couple, Agatha and Jacob, at the very moment of their escape. Luck, then, that they took pity upon me and admitted Emmalina and myself to journey with them by boat, far away from the Tether.

      In exchange for their kindness--given that, at present, I’ve not a single coin to my name--I’ve agreed to help Jacob around the cottage. My strength has been invaluable. I cannot remember the last time I’ve used an axe to chop wood, or held a hammer in my hand to repair something that was broken. How very different these tools are to the ones I am used to. How very different our ways of life.

      But for all the manual labor I’ve been subjected to, there is something.. calming in the work. I cannot say that the livestock appreciate my presence as much as Jacob seems to, though. A few of his chickens have gone missing recently. A predator on the prowl, no doubt. Merely passing through.

      Quaint as the cottage has been, temporary haven from the chaos of the island, I cannot help but wonder at the state of my own home. Even with everything that has been left behind, precious relics and baubles abandoned, it is with an even greater clarity that I see now that these things have never meant anything to me. I could leave it all, the collection of my life, hundreds of years and counting--everything that I need is here with me now.

      All I’ve ever wanted was a future with her. And yet, at every turn, it feels as though something from my past manages to creep into the present. While I have proven my own resilience over the years through my own trials, I marvel that with everything Emmalina has endured, she has not fallen to pieces yet. But it is with everything that I have to keep her together. Her eyes are fractured; rare are the moments she is truly carefree.

      I cannot let her break further. I’ve seen her torn apart too many times. I fear there will come a day where I will not be enough to make her whole again.

      A piece of wood can only be repaired so many times before it must be thrown away and replaced. Perhaps.. instead of going back and trying to repair our own lives again, it is time that we started a new life together someplace else.

      Start over. Start again. Leave all the painful memories, and everything that would remind us of them, far behind..

      That is to say, if she wakes up at all..

      Please, Emmalina, come back to me. I need you..

    • "Cyn is an absolutely fantastic character. Nothing but in depth thought has gone into his creation and it shows in the quality of the character, matched perfectly with the quality of the RP. Ever a mystery and always with something new and exciting in each and every RP, I am truly honored to be able to interact with this character and his fantastic player on a long term basis. It is impossible not to love his beautiful brooding self. <3"

      I can't keep doing this, become this.

      It's getting too hard to fight, too dangerous to try.
      I can't hurt you, Cyn. I won't.
