“Java YOU’RE my weakness”

‘Can I believe that?

Marzana really said that.

Didn’t she also say she’d get Runeheim back for me? Do I even dare believe that?’

Java leans back and pulls her pen from the journal page along with her overbearing thoughts. Only to shake her head, “put it on paper Java, c’mon, work it out”

‘She’s for sure taunting me! But if she’s serious though, could it be that easy going back? I think… No, She’s mocking me again, this is her game. Maybe if..’ Her pen slips through the page as she scribbles with a groan of frustration.

‘her men are all gone now.. she might mean it this time. Its just her now…’

The reality of loneliness pains her heart as she remembers Phil. Alone. It wasn’t even that long ago that they all had passed. What a cruel feeling.

‘who would I be without Dr. Hiemir or Tora. Am I really all she has left? The years we shared, I wasn’t perfect either. Runeheim gave me a second chance and she hasn’t even hurt me the last times we’ve been together again,’

Another pause, this time reflecting on Father Lapis and the twisted claims that choosing to accept the help with magic was a sin for the soul, they were sick and dying. He’s wrong for that.

‘Marzana made me stronger. She always liked my magic, she even said she missed me. Maybe its my turn to make her better, just like the town did for me. She’s different and changed. Even the fae agreed. She’s weak now, it was our dea-’ the pen drops from her hand.

“Wait! Wait wait wait” panic rises as she stops her journaling, tearing off the pin from her tunic and staring into it, “I meant physically. She’s physically weak around me, right? That was the deal! Right? I know you two can hear me. You know what i meant!”

Laying her head down on the table she knows exactly what they meant with that deal now.

‘Maybe I can fix all this. Maybe I can fix her’
