A shadow looms above the glassy river. Lilac, falling to his knees and splashing some water on his face.

After which he finally calms down.

"This...cannot be happening.." the assassin murmured, looking into his own reflection.

He have just escaped his own doom - preferably, lets say, meaningless existence as Pomegranade Cookie's puppet. Tonight was the night he joins the darkness, and become a part of Dark Enchantress Cookie's sidekicks. Well, so Pomegranade thought. She knew magic, but Lilac was expirienced with hypnotization. He himself, was trained to be unnafected to such, back in the Sneaky Sands clan.

And now he could only stare into his own reflection, gauging the fact that it was Pomegranade who crumbled Lilac Cookie's dear friend - Yogurt Cream Cookie. This whole entire time, he was manipulated.

"𝓔𝓶𝓸𝓽𝓲𝓸𝓷 𝓸𝓷𝓵𝔂 𝓰𝓮𝓽𝓼 𝓲𝓷 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝔀𝓪𝔂 𝓸𝓯 𝓶𝔂 𝓶𝓲𝓼𝓼𝓲𝓸𝓷.." Lilac always thought those words out loud, as a silent promise.

Now, his own emotions indeed got in a way, and look where he is! A dark looming form of black dahlia flowers and red as jam skies, tainted with corruption and a burden of guilt. His strong and carefully build character, crushed into nothingness, ever since Wind Archer came along..

Lilac wondered where he is now...

NOT THAT HE CARES! No, Wind Archer was only another poor soul, crumbled under assassins sharp chakrams. Yet at a mere though of the guardian, Lilac cannot stop but feel gnawing, pestering feeling of guilt. And that doubt earlier? Only grew.

But theres no way of returning is it? Lilac once again was running away from things he didin't bear to solve. Just like he ran away from his clan, or the time, his dear friend was crumbled to dust. But this corruption in his soul wont be easy to run away from. How will Lilac ever solve this? How will he ever free himself of this burden - both from Pomegranade owning him, and worry for that damned guardian.

"He is still out there.. I can feel him. He's waiting for me." The cookie perked his head up as the feeling returned. A soft breeze, fresh like early spring. It played with some fallen leaves, trailing over grass like a veil, leading Lilac Cookie... Possibly to the weak and wounded Wind Archer.

"I'm coming for you, guardian." A first time he said it not as a threat, whilst following the silent wind.
