Parthina

Act II Opening Scene.

Have you ever had that dream, you know, where you're falling? It takes you a second but then you know you are dreaming and just before you hit the ground you wake up with a fast beating heart.

You're alive.

Parthina wondered if the feeling going down was going to be the same.

She knew however that she would not wake before hitting the frozen waves below, nor did she want to.

Her soul was free of the stone, her womb free of his seed and her heart was not her own any longer.

Pain, sadness, immortality. She could be free of it all in the otherworld.

No more perfectness, no more duty. She could be a normal free-to-self woman. Dead but free.

But more importantly, she would love her son and be his guardian. No one could take him from her eyes then. Her eyes, her hands, her mind, it would all be her own and no one could control them, her. No one could abuse her son against her, abuse her against him.

No one could tell her what to do, who to be, who to love, or more importantly who not to love.

He would never return her feelings. But she wasn't doing this for him or because of him.

She wasn't scared of dying, dying was the easy part. Living took so much more. Especially if someone had your heart in their hands. Especially when you knew the only reason you were born was for duty. Her family line was hoping the stone would show back up, and it did. In her. It was the only reason she was born.

But she was not going to let it rule her any longer.

She was dying anyway, why prolong it? Blood dripped from her leg, she had not healed from birth, said birth only being less than 24 hours ago. All she needed was to remove the stone and let humanity take its course.

She had never fought so hard in her life but now, now it was time to rest. She held the stone close and stepped to the edge. She could feel the cold from the trashing water below. She closed her eyes and slowly dove into the frozen waves below.
