[QUOTE="Lady Diamond, post: 163661, member: 216"] [i]Lady Diamond rides her faithful companion Striker home to the Cherry Blossom dojo and makes preparations for her departure from this world.[/i] "By all rights I should have left long ago, when my parents died, I feel fortunate to have lived this long", she muses thoughtfully and grimaces a bit, the disease ravaging her body giving her notice that it will not be ignored, as she dismounts. "To have lived this long after, is a blessing from the gods. And so I will honor them in my passing." She strokes Striker's nose thoughtfully. What to do with you, my constant champion? Of all things earthly, I've been able to depend on you alone. The world of men will kill you since you do not bow to their will, as I have not, yet I cannot protect you in this life or the next, and I don't know what to do. Set you free? Take you with me? Perhaps the gods will give me a sign soon. Spirit whickers softly in her stall in the stables as Diamond and Striker arrive. Diamond breaks from her musings and nods thoughtfully. Two such as these will survive in the wild, surely. Diamond leads both outside, and points Striker towards the west, slapping him on the butt and screaming "GO! NOW!" He turns back to her in confusion, and she reaches down and picks up a rock and chucks it at his head. "GO! Stupid beast! GO!". She weeps openly and screams at them till they run, and Spirit and Striker both turn to the west and gallop off. "Goodbye", she whispers brokenly, wiping tears from her face and walking to the bath house, for more preparations. TBC [/QUOTE]
