Valoria
I suspect that I have doomed myself to perdition by manipulating Tim as I have. He tried so hard to pretend not to look at me, to hide his true feelings but I could see his devotion to me from a mile away. With just the slightest attention I fanned those flames to a raging inferno. He is my creature now. Just as I planned.
Unexpectedly, my punishment came in this lifetime instead. I meant to use him as a means of securing my freedom. But spending time with him has had the unexpected consequence of …falling in love. I don't want to abandon him on Terrasia and make my way through the cosmos alone. I like the pretty future he paints for me somewhere far away with no Graxoth to torment me and no rules to keep us apart.
My motives were far from pure when I sought him out but I have never felt for anyone the love that I feel for him now. With my life so bound by rules and duty, I barely believed such things existed and if they did, they were not for someone like me. But now I know and alongside my desire for self preservation lives a new desire to try to keep my love alive.
May God have mercy on my soul if this harebrained scheme fails us both.
I'm barely awake as I post this so please forgive the lack of commentary down here. Feel free to ask about the story or quietly enjoy it if that's more your style.
More is on the way, definitely eventually.
