and time it waits for no one

Maea

And time it waits for no one
It heals them when you die

The world was a blur around her, distance and time suspended. All she knew was the energy sizzling through her body, the vast expanse that opened up within her mind, in her body, in her soul as things that had been blurred and indistinct suddenly became clear to her. Lifted by understanding, instinct, coiling relentless strength and indomitable will, she sailed over the expanse on the pull of Ludo's will, and when she landed, her paws carried her onward without pause like it was the most natural thing.

Because it was, wasn't it. Suddenly so much about herself made sense, like it never had before. And it propelled her forward, along the path to freedom, fully embracing this change as she ran, ran. Her supple, sleek body coiling and stretching in long, ground-covering leaps.

Towards the way out. To the way that surely led back.

And soon you are forgotten
A whisper within a sigh
