Draythys

He’s doing it again. Fucking Vemnos.

I’m not crazy. I’m not crazy.

For centuries my mind has been tampered with more and more. I can’t seem to work out which way is up. There are times when everything seems clear, I know who I am and what my purpose is. But other days it’s as if there’s a wall of fog surrounding my head, trapping me within my own thoughts.

It would be okay if it didn’t feel like Ebris was pushing me away. I can’t even recall the last time he wanted me in his bed. Yet Vemnos, oh, that little shithead he’ll have every night. Recently he hasn’t asked to see me or even acknowledged me when we pass in the halls.

I know this is all the god of malice and trickery’s fault. I mean, who else could it be?

I feel like there is something I’m missing. One crucial thing I cannot for the life of me seem to wrap my head around. What am I missing?

I didn’t realize how late in the evening it was, yet when I arrive in the courtyard, I can see the beautiful colors of night settling in. I walk to the edge of the balcony, gazing down for what seems like miles at the thunderous flow of water cascading below. Sometimes I forget how magnificent this place is. Living in a palace perched on a waterfall, surrounded by the sounds of nature is one of the few highlights of living here. For a brief moment I’m at peace, the haze of my mind slipping a little.

“Dray? I thought it was you.” I turn around when I hear the melodic sound of my best friend. Still as beautiful as ever. It never fails to amaze me how lucky Idnera is in the looks department. If I didn’t already have my heart set on Ebris, I would easily fall for her.

“Iddy. Good to see you.” I reach my arms out to embrace her and she squeezes back nuzzling her head in my neck. Still holding onto my shoulders, she moves back to stare into my eyes. “Good to see me? Good to see you. I thought after the willow you may not have wanted to see me again.” I see sadness fill her eyes as she talks.

“I always want to see you, Iddy. I hope you know that. I just couldn’t handle it the other day when you kept telling me the same things you’ve been telling me for centuries.” She releases me and steps over to the balcony. Bracing herself against the stone wall, she hangs her head.

After what feels like ages, she lifts her head turning to face me. “You know why I keep saying what I do, Dray. I’m just trying to take care of you. You’re my best friend and I don’t know what I would do if anything bad happened to you.”

Shaking my head as I wait for another lecture, I rest my lower back against the balcony wall. Idnera mirrors my stance but looks down at her feet.
