Walking at her own pace Sapphire didn't wait for Alexander to catch up knowing he would and could easily. ”I cannot make any promises on kind words, but you are a good fighter so someone such as yourself would've been a loss.” coming from her that was a compliment, Sapphire was not someone to simply blurt out how she felt about other people, and by the moment she was actually starting to like Alexander. ”I haven't always been visually challenged as I'm sure you've guessed by now, and I can still see to some extent. My father has always been protective of me, what with me being the eldest and all, so when I would leave the castle for a ride around the woods or anywhere outside of those walls he always made sure that I was accompanied by a guard. I haven't always enjoyed being a princess, and I think he knew that. I've always dreamed of life of adventure beyond the gates, so when I could I snuck off. I was ten oddly enough, the same age you were” the toe of her boot hit a tree root, but rather than tripping she stopped for a moment and stepped over it continuing on her way, her hands gliding against the rough bark of the nearby trees as she weaved though them. ”I had gone out for a ride as usual and purposely lost the guards escorting me, a group of men jumped from the bushes and everything went black. When I finally came to I'd been tied up, thrown on a dirty floor of some run down shack or cabin. They were less than kind and knocked me around enough to crack a few of my ribs, they sent a ransom to my parents giving them a limited amount of time before they killed me, and worst was how the explained the details...nice and slow one of them said.” her heart ached at the memories of helplessness, ”I couldn't do anything to defend myself, to them I was just a weak little girl who was good for nothing but money. I wasn't a danger to them because I couldn't fight back even if I wasn't tied up. If I ran I knew they'd catch me.” tears threatened to burn at her eyes again but she would not have it blinking them back momentarily, ”somehow my father figured out where I was and sent the best of his men to get me, the man who trained me how to fight after the incident was one of them. He freed me, and I ran because he told me to. The men who'd captured me ran after me and so did my trainer, I manged to get stuck between their fight and the last thing I remember was a crushing weight falling on top of me. He landed on me nearly crushing my entire body, I'd been hit so hard in the head it was a wonder my entire skull wasn't crushed in. When I came I was back home, half of my vision was gone. The doctor and Ivy told me that the force hitting my head did something to my eyes. Over time my world had been growing darker, Ivy tells me the pain won't go away until all I see is black. There's no telling when that will be.”
Sapphire swallowed hard feeling a lump pressing in the throat, ”The man that fell on me taught me how to fight with my senses, he's one of my best of friends because he doesn't think my lack of sight is a hindrance. He doesn't look down upon me as someone who can't defend themselves because I'm going blind, and because of him I can prove to people that I can fight and I can stand up for myself.” A warm tear rolled down her cheek but she was quick to brush it out of the way ”I miss being able to see the stars at night, I miss being able to see the flowers in the gardens in all their awe and beauty of speckled colors.” She stopped in her tracks stepping in front of him now, thinking, wondering. ”May I?” she asked lifting her hand and running her fingers over the mask.
