<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff0080">Aurora gasped, picking up her feet and nearly standing on top of the pew she was just sitting on as dark fog filled the floor and air as she poorly attempted to cover her ears at the sound of the screeching around them. When it grew so much and began to speak, she let out a squeak- what had they done? Oh, she knew climbing the tree was a bad idea! The illusion of beauty faded from the cathedral, and Aurora took quick notice of all of the bones and skulls around them. Human, these must have been the people before them- called here, failing to escape, dying here. She felt sick to her stomach, mournful, upset. <br/>
<br/>
When the doorway opened, Aurora saw her chance. If she had understood what she'd heard, the people of which the remains belonged to had failed to get this far. So, she should take this opportunity! If she were going to whither away, it would be only after finding love again. That's what the dark figure promised, anything their hearts desired.<br/>
<br/>
<i>"Lest I be a fool,"</i> she whispered, <i>"a fool with love in her heart." </i>as she stared out of those open doors. He vision was blocked slightly as Clara (<a class="username" data-user-id="2453" data-username="@Zulma" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" href="https://blackdahliaroleplaying.com/members/2453/">@Zulma</a> ) had stepped in front of it, a warning tone to her voice. Aurora jumped from the pew, still clinging to her dress with a frantic look in her eyes. As she began to say something to the other woman, behind her, stood a man- almost within a golden aura. He looked unreal, he looked like her mirrored soul all in a man. Beautiful, a single hand out reached to Aurora as if he'd known her all her life, in a previous life, maybe even after. He was dressed equally other-wordly, perhaps the 16th or 17th century. And naturally, tears welled in this strange woman's eyes. As if she saw the one person that could strip her of her heartbreak and replace it with everything good that love should have been.<br/>
<br/>
"Clara, je n'ai pas pu en savoir plus." (<i>I couldn't know more.</i>) She reached her hand out to the man she may or may not have been imagining just outside that door. Her broken heart was susceptible to being tricked for a miracle, and she felt pain so bad that she'd risk it all regardless. <br/>
<br/>
And suddenly, she hugged the woman. Unspoken thankfulness for her immediately kindness and display of passion, before backing away from her- then walking around her, and only looking back once to survey the other people which had still stood within the cathedral. She had to go. And then she turned fully and <i>ran</i>, <i>ran</i> in the same way she had ran to those mysterious mushrooms, now straight into this promising stranger's arms. Then the two ran together, as far away into a light until they both seemingly disappeared. Aurora, the strange woman with rosy features, wildly untamed curls, and a romantic dress from a far different time had left as soon as she came. If the man was a real man or not was a different discussion, whether he'd been an illusion to take this vulnerable soul away- or a genuine gift from the entity freed from the cathedral, no-one would know. <br/>
<br/>
Aurora was gone, and at last, the last expression everyone saw- though tearful, finally a smile. <i>Adieu</i>.<br/>
