A man must accept his fate or be destroyed by it
Sura was finding that it had gotten easier to breathe the more days that they were here in this land. It felt nice to actually get a full night of sleep now that the visions were not riding her hard at all hours.
When Ruari had come home to her unexpectedly and helped her defeat her attackers, something had shifted in the air around them. She had just known, even before the first vision from the gods had sent her to her knees, that something dreadfully wrong was about to happen unless they took to their feet and kept going.
There were times that her beloved husband wanted to stop and make her take rest -- and rest himself -- but Sura couldn't allow it. The Red Snake was coming and getting too close to her husband for her liking. Every time she thought that maybe they could take more than a few hours of rest at night, blood would explode behind her eyes and she knew she had to keep them moving.
It was on the fourth day that her frenzied condition finally made Ruari lose his control and demand to know what the gods were doing to her that caused her to run herself into the dirt.
"What could be so damn fucking important that I am to watch you like this and do nothing to aid you or try to stop the pain you are in?!"
"THEY TAKE YOU FROM ME!" Sura finally screamed out, her voice a pained sound from a throat that had not used such a tone in a long time. "I will die in blood betrayed and you will be a weapon that they seek to hone and turn on their enemies, yet you would destroy all that you are in attempt to take them to their knees all for love of me!"
It was the thought of her death that kept Ruari from protesting her urgings that they keep going; keep running.
Sura lost count of how many days they traveled, only that the gods were directing her feet in the correct direction to go to. It was after she had finally collapsed and lost consciousness and her husband was on his last legs trying to carry her that they were found.
Germania. A land she had heard of, but had never expected to see. Agron and his brother had found the two of them in the wilderness unconscious, near to death, and had brought them back to their home. And when Sura had finally awoken to her senses again, they had not laughed off her story, nor had they turned the two of them out on their own. When Sura had gotten a clearer look at her rescuers, she understood why the gods had driven her in this direction.
Two lives saved. Two souls not taken over by vengeance, blood and despair.
Hearing someone approaching her, she turned her head slightly to let him know that she was aware and accepting of company.
