Tian Chi The Heaven Lake Urumqi Xinyiang, China
Thursday 12th October - 05:49pm (09:49am UTC)
Meriam was packed and ready to return to Paragon. She was dreading seeing her father again but excited at the prospects of returning to the Militia. The trip into China had indeed been a good vacation. Ten minutes before Merde recalls her, she sat on the bank-side, admiring Lake Tian Chi. It was late evening and the sun was already setting, but Meriam knew that in America the sun was only just rising.
Peaceful isnt it? Dragonfly asked, taking a seat beside Meriam.
Yes it is. Im contemplating taking a Yurt home with me. Meriam joked. So youre staying behind for how long?
Wu Long says the sword is capable of more than flight, especially if merged with the Soaring Dragon, its power is immeasurable. Hes willing to train me. Ill return to Paragon City when Im done.
Where is the Soaring Dragon?
Im yet to find it babes. Anyway, enough talk about my knives. You sure youre feeling alright after yesterdays fight?
Why did he attack us, because we were laughing at him?
Hes a respectful man. We shouldnt have been laughing. Whats important is that youre okay.
Im fine. I just worry about you training with him. Promise me youll be careful.
#Merde calling# came a voice from Meriams PDD. A hologram of Sir Igor Noren-ko rose from it. He was morphed into his human form.
#Meriam here Monsieur Merde. Just saying goodbye to Brina.#
Meriam looked up into Sabrinas eyes and the two smiled at each other. She lowered her gaze and changed her expression. Ive been doing a lot of thinking and err.
Oh, theres no need to thank me. Ive never seen you as happy as youve been here and that itself means a lot to me. Sabrina interrupted.
Yeah, err, yeah. I was erm I was actually thinking about our relationship I mean, Ive been trying to find the right time to tell you and err, I guess I better do so before I leave. Its just I look up to you you know, I I absolutely love the way you fight and how beautiful you are. Its its how Id like to be when Im older, you know? And I dont know if I really I mean the kiss on the cliff it was my first so you know, it was just so amazing. Like a dream come true. A real fantasy but at the same time, it was so confusing. I had never imagined kissing a girl you know? All these sudden rush of emotions
So what are saying?
Meriam looked a little apologetic. She could see the hurt in Sabrinas eyes. Err she mumbled, searching for the right words. Nothing.
Its okay. Youve said enough as it is said Sabrina, climbing to her feet and heading off towards a Yurt.
Oh no, no, oh Brina please dont be upset. Its its just oh please we can still be friends. Meriam hurried to her feet, catching Sabrina gently by the arm.
Sabrina turned back around to address her, tears falling from her eyes as she blinked repeatedly. Meriam, Ive been a little pushy. I know that and you have every right to hate me. Sabrina sobbed quietly, wiping off her tears. Oh, I feel so stupid! In fact, no no lets not embarrass our friendship with this kind of talk. You have to go. Youre holding up Merde.
Meriam felt uncomfortable. She shifted weight awkwardly, not knowing what to say or how to react. She was beginning to regret saying anything to start with.
Sabrina spoke firmly into her PDD wristwatch. #Merde, Meriams set and ready. Can you cope with her return luggage?#
#Affirmative. Confirm when ready Angel#
Sabrina please. I Meriam was becoming dizzy under a whirlwind of emotions. She felt disheartened, sad and guilty. Her stomach tightened and her face knotted. Tears escaped down her cheek. I I
#Angel? Confirm when ready# Merde pressed, unaware. #Angel?# His voice sounded synthetic over the radio.
Sabrina broke eye contact with Meriam and turned her back, retreating across the sandy banks of the lake into the sunset.
God Meriam whispered. What have I just done?
#Recalling in five # Merde counted, a gentle wind lifted the small pebbles under Meriams feet.
#Four#
Sabrina stopped walking.
#Three#
She turned around.
#Two#
The girls made eye contact across the lake. Sabrina smiled warmly and whispered a message.
#One#
I love you
