Rise

A short written by Aggie

Beneath her body were soft yellow daisies and bright white snowdrops.  Their tiny tendrils pushing against her armor, flowing like a soft carpet around her. A lazy breeze graced her cheeks and her eyes stared wide up at the clouds.

“I think I see a pirate ship in that mass of clouds Myriart” She smiled happily, lifting her hand to point at the Azure blue sky.

“Do you see mine Agatha?” He responded, his voice carefree tinged with humor, He hovered slightly over her on his side propped up on an elbow. His gaze travelled over the finely arched bones of her face, the soft dark rivers of hair that framed it and paused for a moment on the sweet lines of her lips.

“Myriart I always see that ship, even in my dreams, do you remember our first night aboard?” She closed her eyes now stealing their soft blue pools of calm from his vision.

His voice changed, a bit darker, even deepening.  “Yes, yes I do indeed.” His eyes moved down now, stopping at the swell of her breasts and the firm roundness of her soft hips. His mind piercing through her thick leather armor and remembering her naked body arched over him. Her heavy sigh brought him back to reality with a jolt, and the beautiful picture painted around them faded. Each word she spoke next slashed through this lovely background with a vicious stab. “I’m sorry Myriart, I’m still trying to find a way to set you free.”

They were no longer laying in a green field and the blue sky darkened above them, the hard ground was barren and streaked with blood.  In the distance you could hear the raging sounds of battle.

His ghostly form shimmered and began to fade reaching out to touch her cheek, her eyes sad and wild as she felt his energy pass over her. His face grew pained, confronted with the truth again, with anger in his voice he said, “You must stop this madness Agatha, just let me go”.

“No, Never.” A tear slid down her cheek as he purposely faded from her view.  She rose slowly dusting off the black soot from her armor. The Lone Necromancer moving sorrowfully away as he watched her from afar.  He heard her mumble “Rise” and saw a corpse stagger off after his mistress….
