And Although I Wasn't Losing my Mind
Characters:Valdis and open
Date: April 2017
Location: Various
Situation: Various
Warnings/Rating: In Headers
March hadn’t been the greatest of months. Her discovery of Milyn’s affiliation with the cultists had led to a less than pleasant confrontation with the Foreigners regarding the matter. She would have been lying if she told people she wasn’t surprised by some of the venom contained within certain conversations. But it was all part of the plan, at least, until Milyn had been murdered by the Snakes.
Even then, it took several days before she realized what the odd feeling in the pit of her stomach was. Guilt. The moment she realized it, Valdis fled Keeliai and disappeared into the mountains. While she wandered, she discovered a shrine, a mural depicting the turtle's shell and an eight pointed star. The peace radiating from within the small cave reminded her of the serenity of the turtle's head before Malicant's taint destroyed it. She lingered for days, meditating and finding a sense of peace. She was loathe to leave the place, but it was a discovery that she had to share with some of the others. Perhaps it could even help them awaken Tu Vishan.

In this case, the harm the truth could do might be its only goal. On the other hand, if the Void thought the truth would be harmful, it wouldn't have kept it from Valdis.
"I should be able to confirm there's something missing," Solomon added. "The gap would be easier to find with the Void's shadows behind it, but since it insists on interfering you'll probably have to hold it back." But when he looked back at her soul his temples throbbed painfully, and he winced, his hand automatically lifting as if to shield his eyes. "Though possibly not right now, in either of our cases."

Very well.
She lurched to her feet and shook herself.
We shall try again another time.

"Please excuse me if I don't see you to the door," Solomon said dryly, inclining his head toward it. Even that made his head pound. "I'll contact you."
