"Leah? May I ask a question?"
"Shoot."
"If I were to die, what would happen to you?"
"I suppose I would follow into the grave, Koal."
"...Guess I better not die, then."
Koal fell to the ground as another memory forced its way into his mind, tripping over his feet and throwing up dust when he hit the ground. His mental landscape was assaulted with images of a woman with short, black hair and eyes of molten gold. Feathered wings that jutted from her shoulder blades. A feeling of comfort and fear shot through him as his skin crawled. His arms barely supported his weight as he began to shake, Tears gathering in his eyes. Koal felt a wave of sadness overtake him, though he didn't know why he would feel this way over a random woman.
"I don't understand..." He rasped out, his voice weak and shaky due to his damaged vocal chords. "I don't know who she is, why the hell am I sad?" Tears had made their way out of his eyes, the little droplets like stars on his alabaster skin. He growled low in his throat as he became frustrated at himself. At his own weakness. 'Grow a backbone, you worthless excuse for a sentient being' his inner self taunted, face twisted in disdain and disappointment. The entity pushed himself to his feet, cracking his legs in anticipation for more running.
His violet eyes focused on the nearby gate, hard and determined. He would make himself useful. He would find a worthy master, and serve them with unswerving loyalty. Bunching the muscles in his legs, Koal took off at a run. It wouldn't be long before he reached the gate. He felt drawn to this verse, as if he had been there before. But that wasn't possible, right? The dark haired teen shook his head to dispel the thoughts. They were irrelevant, and would not halo him succeed in his endeavors.
Slowing as he reaches the rough stone structure, he ran a hand over it, feeling the bumps and ridges in the rock. It felt familiar and comforting. As he prepared himself to step through it, Koal heard a rather rude shout.
"You there! Prime!"
"Shoot."
"If I were to die, what would happen to you?"
"I suppose I would follow into the grave, Koal."
"...Guess I better not die, then."
