Location: Rabbit Lake
Dated February 25.
The sky was a listless, pearl gray. Geneva rolled her eyes up to see it, trying to memorize it. She wanted to remember the way the trees framed Haven Mansion, and the way their branches reached up to the clouds. She wanted to remember the curve of Rabbit Lake, and what the snow felt like beneath her feet. She had walked the length of the lands twice over already this morning, lime green eyes trying to capture each and every curve and bend of Crimson Dreams.
She had finally stopped to rest at the lip of Rabbit Lake, hunching forward in the snow as she gazed down at the ice-covered water, as if she might be able to see her reflection. She had first seen the lake months ago when she had first come to these lands, searching for a home. She remembered that she had been covered in dirt, and how Savina and Brooklyn had accompanied her to wash her of it.
She wished there was a way to wash her of her experiences, and the way she felt that had led her to this moment. She felt her heart swell inside of her chest, embittered and battered, but still beating. She hadn't thought it would be so hard to say goodbye. She looked resolutely into the ice on the lake, her eyes hard as she tried to find a single reason not to turn and leave right now.
And she had found one, raising her head so her call split the sky, a single shattering breath. She wanted to see Savina.
