Relapse

Song Lyrics

The lights faded into the dark abyss as streams of light enveloped every dimension of her body. Cloaked with the essence of light Lunixia sought after the echoes that cried from afar. "Lunixia!" a faint voice called out... She looked around scanning the distance through the clouded view. As her steps led her forward she noticed the ground ripple beneath her just under the fog she was trailing through. Her curiosity led her toward the center of the waters. Forgetting the voice that called out she knelt down to touch the glassy surface as it reflected more than just a child of Elune. "Lunixia!" she heard again as her focus was quickly stolen from the image in the water to the endless reaches of the winds. She squinted her eyes in the direction she heard the voice.

Nearing closer and closer the outline shaped by the dense illuminated fog reached out a hand of welcome. Lunixia recessed for a moment as her hand reached with hesitation. She turned her head and looked away extending her hand to meet the other. Her anticipation caused her to sink to the waters beneath. She began to panic she watched her feet disappear into the waters below her. As her hand was caught and embraced she felt the warmth of the soft voice whisper "Lunixia... all is well" the voice said. Lunixia stared hard into the mist as the figure stepped forward to reveal itself. "This is the place where the light bends to refine us" the voice said as the figures face pushed the mist aside. "Gaia!" Lunixias voiced full of relief. "Why... Are we dead?" Lunixia asked. Gaia looked at Lunixia with warmth that covered her from head to toe. "Come with me" said Gaia.

As each step rippled the waters upon which they walked clearing the mist from all around them as they approached the hollow of the wooded glen. "This life is not our last to live but every step taken in this lifetime will affect those around us." said Gaia as she turned to the waters behind them. "You see, every decision big or small will eventually collide with another, and it can either keep the waters calm, or it can create waves destroying what was once beautiful." Lunixia looked at Gaia, concern flowing from her eyes "What are you saying?" asked Lunixia. Gaia held out her hand guiding their vision to an Elf in the distance as it trailed behind her pet wolf. "Motokume?" Lunixia asked softly as her heart swelled with an overwhelming longing for Moto. She was about to call out.. Gaia grabbed Lunixia by the arm. "Our time is short, listen close....She needs you Lunixia.. more than you know. Affirm you are hers, for the bond you share is stronger than 1,000 truths forged as one..." Gaia paused for a moment... "show her your love as she has shown you hers - that is why she followed you here... to show you with all that she is that her love for your burns brighter than the sun and cannot be eclipsed" Lunixia took a deep breath as her heart filled with passionate rage... tears trickled down her face as she watched Moto in the distance as she searched beyond the ends of the earth for her love. "What if I fail her?" asked Lunixia, her voice full of certainty that her implication told of what had already come to pass. "Her strength rests in you... you have already succeeded farther than you can even imagine" said Gaia. Lunixia wiped the tears from her face as her cheeks rushed with warmth from such words.

"I wish I could share more than these last moments with you... these moments are a vapor in the wind..." said Gaia as she squared her body with Lunixias... "But this is not our last goodbyes... I will be closer to you than you could ever know... but promise to remember me" Gaia said as she wrapped her arms around Lunixia, one arm over Lunixias shoulder and the other around her frame. Lunixia embraced Gaia dwelling on every last word spoken. "How could I forget you?" Gaia sighed with slight sadness in her voice... "Its not you who will forget... it is me" said Gaia as she closed her eyes and pressed her heart against Lunixias. "Take a leap of faith Lunixia, time waves its hands but once... pursue your hearts desires no matter the cost" said Gaia. As they held each other and embraced the dream they fell into the stars as the world around them collapsed. "I promise!"
