It was still raining, but the storm was fading. Just as the fire within her quelled. The edges of the sun were beginning to peak through the thick cast of clouds that had hidden her that night, and as the moon yawned and faded away, so too did the sun crawl into existence. The day was coming again, just like every day had before. Day after day. But something was different within Amaranth this morning, her amethyst eyes uncertain and dark as she peered upon her own reflection from within the rippling lake.
She hadn't slept.
She hadn't dreamt.
There was ... nothing.
She could only revisit the many, many visions of her past. She could only attempt to understand what was real, and what had been imagined in her mind. And the process of understanding these thoughts nearly sent her into a manic spiral; it reminded her that she did not know who she was ... or what she was. For she knew not what was real, before this life and before the Last Life that she had lived. Amaranth could not understand where she was, or how she had gotten here - she no longer knew if she was real, or if Valeska was real ... or if Kishi was real. She no longer even understood if she, herself was real.
And so she sat, golden rump plastered to the damp earth at the edge of the crystalline lake. Deep purple eyes stared into the depth of the rippling water, water that seemed to sigh as the edges of the storm began to fade away. And she could only look at herself and wonder ... wonder ... wonder what was real, and what was but a figment of her prolific imagination.
