for mel. dated around the 9th of november, i guess? <3 deeerrpp, hope this works.

The terror had gone from her for now, but as Sage neared the place she supposedly called home, she felt the dread welling in her chest. She'd stayed with her father for nearly a week, but she had to come back. She still had duties, after all, and she needed to tend to them.The desire to turn around and run back nearly overwhelmed her as the hollow, staring skulls came into view. Covering her mouth, she turned, suddenly horrified by them. Before, they hadn't been so bad; she hadn't known them. But now, Sage wondered in horror if that vile traitorous woman's skull was spiked here. The urge to vomit nearly overcame her, and the grief of that day came back to her in full. She couldn't stop seeing it.

The Optio skirted Lennon around to a side with fewer staring hollow eyes and sped off towards the D'Neville Mansion; at least there, in her room, she could get some time alone in her own head. Father wanted her there in Ichika, and she couldn't stop thinking about how wonderful that would be. The chance to live without worry of murders in broad daylight; what a prospect. Really, he was right next door, only a few hours' travel north. But it wasn't close enough, and Sage had given up trying to find solace inside Inferni's borders. She had never felt so out of place; especially now.

Lennon's strides carried her heavily to the familiar building, slowing as they neared. The once-heavy floral scents were dissipating now with this chilling air, and she frowned at the thought. Soon everything would be cold again; Sage wasn't sure she could handle another dreary winter in Inferni. She didn't know what to do. With a deep breath, she steadied her mind and dismounted, patting her stallion to comfort both him and herself.
