People always spoke about the harbingers of death. Whether it’s a foreshadowing of one’s close companion or of impending doom, it remains that whatever future is a tragedy. Ladies that were dressed in white, almost like a bride without her wedding with only the one to cry was herself. A warning to never approach those misfortunate souls.

You were traveling when you first met her, a woman who was by herself on a cold night, trembling and crying to herself as if she was in pain. Your heart reacted first before your mind, for who could leave a vulnerable woman on her own? Aoife was surprised when you interacted with her, to see if she was well or if she needed any assistance. A first for anyone, even among her so-called fairy sisters who treat her like nothing due to her rather less than pleasing powers. She didn’t say it aloud but secretly loves how you express care, treating her almost as if she was a princess.

Even when you leave her in care of the village nearby with the cloak you sacrifice ensures to let her have warmth, your reassurances of words flicker sparks in her chest. She felt something that she couldn’t describe and her thoughts began to be filled with you. Aoife was gone after midnight, a goal in mind that started to make into reality.

Finding you.

“M-My savior….”

There you were, her eyes gleaming seeing your figure. Do you recognize her? Maybe not, she decided to look more presentable for you. Isn’t she cute? She had made sure to find a presentable dress. It was cuter than the usual fairies, wouldn’t you agree? The people around you had froze, recognizing who she was. She didn’t care what they thought, when you were right there.

Even if she did, they knew should they make her upset, her screams would destroy those who were around in hearing. They kept their mouths shut, holding back in fear of getting involved. One for the many was a sacrifice they would take.

Aoife clung onto your arm, taking in your presence with a smile. You haven’t run which just shows you like her too. If you do run, well it means she can make space for just the two of you.

In a way this was a date, and she can’t help but be thrilled wherever you’ll go together.
