Week Six

[letsplayamod]

You've survived, for lack of better wording, the latest week of trials and tribulations. This one had been more costly than most: Typhon's machinations have brought your group to nearly half the size it was when Athena first brought you to this island. Whether it ends with him or with you is still too soon to make out. One thing's for certain. Things cannot be allowed to continue as they are.

Speaking of continuing, the next floor has been revealed to you. Just how far down this island goes is a bit of a mystery, but you get the feeling that you're close to something important. Maybe that thing Athena wanted you to find before Typhon does. You can ruminate on that as you watch the waters below. Waves still lap at the cliffs, but it all seems lower than it did weeks ago. Like the ocean itself is shrinking...

[ She sees the hand on her shoulder, can't feel it but she can at least see it. Understand the intent. Imagine the weight until she swears it's actually there for real.

But it doesn't make her feel any better. ]

Am I...?

[ Oh. There's the flood coming. ]

It doesn't feel safe at all... any time I trust anyone you inevitably leave me behind! It feels like only a matter of time before everyone else I trust does too...!

[ She was so terrified of losing Quark last trial. Even more scared when Astarion pulled out his dagger and when Cerejeira used her lightning. Scared of retaliation, scared of losing people who promised to be there for her and help her. ]

I'm trying to be stronger but I'm still just weak on my own without you and the others, Miss Aglaea...!

["any time I trust anyone you inevitably leave me behind!"

Oh, that... that hits a part of Aglaea's heart she thought was impenetrable. The part of her that can still hurt, the part of her that feels clawed up and raw even after so long. The part of her that still wonders what did I do wrong as she stares out at the long, long distance between her and Cifera. Seeing the only companion she had beside her teacher over those long, long centuries getting further and further away, not being able to stop it in any way...]

... Leb...

[For the first time in the weeks that anyone here has known her, ever so slightly, Aglaea's voice shakes.

And for the first time... she doesn't know what to say. She never really processed her own feeling of being left behind. How...?]

I... I'm sorry.
