After the fight with Rahu, Aruna was left wandering listlessly with despair and regret. Her body now shook with sadness, wracked as it was with the terror and horror of what she had done.
She had broken all ties with Rahu.
After she had calmed down from her rage, instant guilt hit her like a load of falling pine trees. She wasn't just a fool, but an idiot.
Oh, how he longed for Delano's presense.
Thoughts were fleeting as her mind reeled back and forth over Rahu and Delano as she emotionally fought with herself. First, she felt guilty about Delano, realizing fully she still cared far too much for Rahu. Second, she was frustrated with her former lover, who had had numerous opportunities to take her as his mate. Thrid, she missed her family terribly.
She had vanished weeks ago... close to three months now, and she had yet to find another living soul.
And so she wandered, with no tug in any particular direction. She was past caring at this point; she didn't care if she was attacked by a predator or even eaten by a Kalona (soul-wise).
Her chest hurt, completely torn in two.
She missed Rahu.
She missed Delano.
But most of all...
...what...
...exactly...
...was she doing...?
...She was staring at the moon with dead eyes.
Lady Moon had been unmerciful to her lately. The thought of the moon led to the night sky, which ultimately led to the thought of a cliff, overlooking the sea.
...Which brought her thoughts of a moon-met friend, one she direly wished to see, now.
...Shadowfax.
Oh, and Calamity. She hadn't seen him in a while, either.
As she walked, watching Lady Moon and her children, the merry stars, she felt a rush of sudden wind...
...and then came a gasp of pain followed by total darkness.
The smell of fresh sea air and the taste of salty rocks was what woke her up.
She stood unsteadily, and realized she had fallen. She looked up to -- of all things -- see a high, jagged cliff, and then her hooves felt the sharp, pointed rocks which had given her deep gashes on her body.
Panting, as her vision faded in and out due to loss of blood, she stumbled across the rocks until she felt soft, yeilding sand...
...and fainted.
Her final thought lasted through one simple, short sentence:
I'm such an idiot.
