The animosity of the world grew.
The lake was alive, and it called to Amaranth in a way that no water source ever had before. She'd even dared, at one point, to put her tongue to the burning liquid, and it spread a haze across her mind that looked similar to the darkened waves. The smoggy sky. It caused her to grow instantly nauseous, and she vowed to herself to stay away from it from that moment forward.
It was more than abnormal.
And it had caused her dreams to become feverish and urgent.
"Avoid the water, but follow the pull."
Amaranth trailed with a safe distance between herself and the cursed shore, trailing along the forested edge of the Respite as night fell. She was looking for something, she just did not know what it was. Not yet. But she hoped the deepening midnight would give her some insight. She would avoid the water, but she would scour the lands of the Respite for the prize that had been described to her in her dreams.
The pieces that would sew this world back together ... for it seemed that this world, too, was falling apart. A soft sigh escaped her lips as she realized the cruel reality of her many lives. They were all cursed somehow, in one way or another. This Ultimate Demise was rather poorly timed, too — she had really grown comfortable in this timeline.
She ... wanted this to be her home.
Forever.
