 xxxxxAurios the Lost•••xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx All I see is ghosts.
All I know is pieces.
Do you know who I am? When her voice fell on his ears, he suddenly fell into a memory. He was standing in a froest much like this but fare more...pure. A girl was hugging him and whispering something in his ear. He couldn't hear anything and despite his ability to discern what was around him, color didn't seem to exist. He could see it but couldn't remember it. When she let go, he was wrenched back into reality and he faltered for a moment. Thankfully she had been busy straightening herself to notice, at least he hoped. He gave a weak smile and nodded.
"Ah..."he said, gently faltering again before shaking his head clear."That's wonderful news, Angel. I guess you found your power source. What was it?" What is it that hunts me on the edge of my vision and haunts my dreams?

  Angel d`Monte Lions make you brave,
Giants give you faith.
Death is a charade,
You don`t have to feel safe to feel unafraid. Angel nodded her head and noticed his vacant stare for a moment before he answered her, but shrugged it off. His next question was much more important. She lowered her eyes and bit at her bottom lip nervously, "I.. I.. I think it`s .. you.." she said quietly, staring at the ground and kicking about a tiny rock with her foot as she spoke. She wasn`t sure how he would react to this, and she couldn`t have him leaving her now. She needed to fly, needed to experience so much more.

xxxxxAurios the Lost•••xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx All I see is ghosts.

Do you know who I am? Aurios stared for a long moment, his eyes completely focused on Angel as if she was the only thing he could see. A ingle elongated blink interrupted his vigil before another and another until they came in rapid succession as the realization of what she had just said hit him.
"Im...what?"he asked softly, clearly not believing her."That's impossible, Angel. I have nothing in me to power anything, let along a divine being such as an angel." What is it that hunts me on the edge of my vision and haunts my dreams?

You don`t have to feel safe to feel unafraid. Angel waited for things to click in for him, then shrugged her petite shoulders, "explain how I flew then, Aurios... if it wasn`t you.." she proposed, hoping he`d accept the truth. She sighed slightly and looked up at the clouds, rubbing her arms slightly as she replayed them dancing over her skin.
She sighed again and looked back at Aurios, "Maybe it has to do with your past.... who you are.." she said softly, smiling all the while.

Do you know who I am? He looked away at the mention of a connection to his past. Something was still eating at him and he sighed again as he peered towards the sky.
"You flew because you found something inside you." he said softly. "Thats far more logical than me being any part of your source. Perhaps you had it sealed away or something..." What is it that hunts me on the edge of my vision and haunts my dreams?

You don`t have to feel safe to feel unafraid. A few tears came to Angel`s eyes and she shook her head, turning her back to him, "It`s not that... Aurios, do you know what they did to me when..." she began, but then her voice faltered, "nevermind, it doesn`t matter... sorry if I`ve upset you." she said with a small shrug of her shoulders as she walked over to a tree and slid down it, sitting below it with her knees pulled into her chest.

Do you know who I am? He watched her for a moment then sighed, knowing he'd hit on another nerve again. Shaking his head he turned away from her.
"Forgive me." he said gently. "I'll let you be. I seem to only touch on things you'd rather not discuss. I didn't mean to drag out dangerous memories."
He gave her a weak smile before turning to leave. What is it that hunts me on the edge of my vision and haunts my dreams?

You don`t have to feel safe to feel unafraid. For a moment she exhaled and drew in a few more deep breaths before raising her gaze to him, only to see him walking away. "Aurios..." she said softly, resting her chin atop her knees, "I haven`t ever told anyone why I`m here, why I wander, why I`m losing my wings.." she said softly, her eyes begging him to stay. She figured that if there was one person she wanted to talk to he was that person, and she needed him to stay. She knew that he was her source, whether or not he wanted to admit it.
She reached her hand out to him, beckoning him to come back over to her, her eyes reflecting the sorrow of her memories.

Do you know who I am? He paused, not looking at her for a moment. It was something in the way she had asked him to stay. Almost begged him to remain and hear her out. Despite his logic screaming for him to keep walking, he turned and reluctantly found himself at her side, his hand taking hers and pulling her into another hug.
"Tell me your story, Lost One." he said softly. "Tell me of your Fall..." What is it that hunts me on the edge of my vision and haunts my dreams?

Death is a charade,
You don`t have to feel safe to feel unafraid. Angel smiled as he came back and embraced her, she felt safe and warm with him and she slowly, painfully, began to recall her great Fall.
"I am over 3500 years old, and have been wandering earth for 500 of those years. A fairly young angel. It all started when Kiel.. my, well; my companion in Heaven .. he wanted to leave Heaven, to overthrow the gods. I didn`t share his earnest desire..." she said quietly, her voie nearly a whisper, "I loved him though, and so I kept his secret safe ... when they finally found out his plan, they saw me as an accomplice. I was cast out of heaven, though Kiel suffered the worst fate.." her voice faltered and a few tears brimmed up in her eyes, "I miss him everyday of my miserable life.. and I`ve spent the last 500 years wandering, trying to find a source so that I do not lose my wings. They`re nearly gone... each day I lose more feathers.." she said softly, shaking her head, "that was part of my punishment. To have my wings slowly, painfully removed from me until I was nothing more than a glorified human" she spat the last word as if it were acid in her mouth and then pulled her knees in closer to her chest.
"I can`t lose them, Aurios.." she whispered, running her hand through her hair and then caressing her wings softly with her fingertips. Her eyes displayed her terror and sorrow as she finally looked at Aurios, a sad smile on her face.

xxxxxAurios the Lost•••xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx All I see is ghosts.
All I know is pieces.
Do you know who I am? It was bizarre, to say the least, how much the story rang in his head. Each and every word seemed to have a secondary voice ringing through his head. It was an elderly man's voice. As if he'd heard it around a campfire. It melded back to Angel then into a voice of the same age as his. When it became specific to Angel, the voices faded instantly. He sat there, slightly wide-eyed by the story and it's effect on him.
"I am sorry, Angel."he said softly."That must be terrible to bear. Knowing that the very thing you are born to do is the curse you bear."
His smile, faint already faded from his face before he turned his gaze to hers. They carried a soft seriousness and a sort of repentive hope.
"At least you remember your love." he said without a trace of sorrow. Instead his voice was more quiet cheerful."Maybe one day he can find you..." What is it that hunts me on the edge of my vision and haunts my dreams?

You don`t have to feel safe to feel unafraid. Her shoulders shrugged lightly and she smiled at him softly. "I`m more than used to living with my curse..." she said, her voice ringing around them as if it was a hymn she prayed daily. Her eyes searched his as he looked at her, she sensed the hope in them and sighed softly when he spoke again. "Kiel... no.. he`s gone.. they ... they..." she began, trying to explain and just shook her head, "he won`t be finding me....ever.." she said trembling slightly and scooting a bit closer to him.

Do you know who I am? Aurios watched her for a moment before deciding to let the subject drop. For a moment he seemed to watch the trees before nodding softly as if deciding something. He stood up, turning to Angel and offering his hand.
"I don't honestly believe I am a source of any super angelic power, but..."he began gently"Something happened that caused you to fly. You have me to help you find this source. Maybe there's something that happened, maybe not."
His eyes were determined and hopeful, rather than down and out. It was like a new part of him had woken up.
"My memory isn't going to come back by me sitting in one place." he said confidently."Come with me and we'll search together. I've recently gained immortality, so I shouldn't be body hopping anytime soon." What is it that hunts me on the edge of my vision and haunts my dreams?

Her mood was still less than perfect, but she felt better that they were going to move again. As he explained his point of view she sighed lightly, worried at first that he would leave her, dismiss her belief.
As she opened her mouth to speak she closed it again when he finished speaking, nodding her head happily. "Thank you, Aurios.. this means so much to me.." she said, noting the hopefulness in his voice.
"I`m in.." she said, her feet falling into step with him as they walked.

"Do you know much of this place?"he said gently"I know nothing and have no idea where to start looking." What is it that hunts me on the edge of my vision and haunts my dreams?
