I don't care who's in my way, who I've knocked over. I just know that I need to get far away from this forsaken place, fly from this planet that has brought me more pain than I could handle. There's a drifting yell that reaches my ears, but I'm long gone from the screaming girl. My eyes itch as tears stream from my eyes, icy wind drying the evidence of my failures. A pair of confused orbs are still etched in my memory, so handsome and terrified. As crazy as it sounds, I'm yelling for the Daughter's guidance for once. 

"DAUGHTER! I KNOW YOU'RE THERE!" 

         I'm not sure where I'm going, but my body feels as if that it meant to go in this direction. I rip away the bits of clothing that is not my own--they are of Fulcrum, and I am not ready to take her place. I don't think I'll ever be. Slipping on the gritty ground, a strip of my clothing rips and flies away behind me. There is nothing but a blur of colors in front of me, though I realize I have made my way up some type of hill. My legs are sore, clumped blood dripping from scraps earned on my run. I shout again, not caring if anyone is around me.

         "DAMMIT, DAUGHTER! I KNOW YOU'RE HERE, YOU WENCH!" For a brief second, I feel an odd sensation, like a pair of arms trying to wrap themselves around them. Thrashing around, I scream louder, staring at the moonlit sky with a deranged glare. "ARE YOU HAPPY!? I LEFT THE TEMPLE FOR YOU! I LEFT...I LEFT MY MASTER FOR YOU! ARE YOU HAPPY, YOU SADISTIC WITCH!?" My knees wobble a little before they thunk on to the ground, and I wipe the remaining streams of tears from my face. A small breath hitches in my throat as the fuzziness fades, and I see one building that catches my attention.

The Temple.

         Before I can get a moment to grieve or hide my weakened form from the prying eyes of possible watching strangers, a small voice chimes behind me.

"...M-Master?"
