The rivulets of fire flickered beneath the temperance of the stark blue in her eyes, a smile slowly spread across her soft features as Elohim spoke… at the sound of her voice she had instantly cast her fear from her, and she knew that behind those eyes still flickered the dark divinity which she had forged so close a union with…<br/><br/>She was instantly drawn to the powerful gaze of the weapon of the Gods, the soft gentle allure still remained in the low pulse of her single blue eye, and she felt herself every bit as drawn to it now as she ever had done… but the replacement that had been installed looked as though it had been torn from the skull of the ‘reaper’ itself, it seemed to flow with a dark purity, and its rich colour didn’t go unheeded by Corrine, her hand softly rose to her breast hidden beneath the leather.  She could still taste the blood from it.  The delicate touch of the maidens fingers through her hair bought a slight shiver to her breath, her emotive senses sparkled in her wake… she bought her own hand up to gently lay upon hers as her eyes began to crackle and flicker… the red fire coursing underneath her soft eyes like magma beneath cracked rock.<br/><br/>A soft smile spread on her face… “I could never leave you… I…” her eyes flickered shut, her thoughts were grinding inside her, she knew what she wanted to say and knew that the innocence within Elohim would not think differently of her for it… but, she couldn’t bring it to her lips.<br/><br/>She sighed softly as she kept her gaze on hers… “I do wish that I had been able to stop it, it was too late to shift the focus of my psychic strength,… I am sorry Elohim.” She felt a welling in her eyes again… and found her thoughts turning to the bullet she had picked from the side… and for a moment another emotion swelled within her, raw and unfettered revenge,  “I shall discover who did this…” Her fingers softly brushed against the maidens cheek as her eyes seemed to flare with a greater intensity… “ their suffering will become the stuff of legend..”<br/><br/><em>…revenge… pure revenge… driven by guilt that she had been unable to alter events, maybe she was losing her focus more than she cared to admit…</em><br/><br/>Corrine reached out towards her, her mind brushing against the sanctuary found in the heart of oblivion that pulsated deep within the beautiful mechanical female… but it seemed a little different to her, something she couldn’t place… the chilled threads still had that same soothing effect against the wealth of pain that laced her mind, but in addition to this there felt something… else… something she couldn’t place something ‘darker’… but no less pure for it… something powerful…<br/><br/>The crackling arc that grounded against her arm started to flare softly around her, sparking against the floor, is glow casting a dance of deep shadows across them both “I thought I had lost you… I thought I knew what pain was up until that moment  ...” she was suddenly acutely aware that she had been getting some curious looks from the black clad technicians, she flashed them a look that resonated with the darkness inside her and shocked them into melting into the background and resuming their  tasks..<br/><br/>“So…how do you…. Feel?”<br/>
