To Find Edward

Marguerite is oblivious as she folds Arthmael's body into beautiful silhouettes. Following the familiar choreography, she dances relentlessly. Grand Jete! Penche! followed by a series of graceful pas de chats. All concatenated in front of the enthralled emperor. When the music reaches the outro in a full stop, Marguerite falls gracefully on the floor in a pose. She stays there and waits for the king to tell her she can leave. She stays on the ground for a long time but hears nothing from him. Wondering if she did anything wrong, she wants to lift her head to look at the king's face, but quickly remembers the warning he gave her. If she disrespects him any further, who knows what he might do to her. She suddenly feels her chin being lifted, her eyes meet the hazels of Demian. She forgets to breathe and falls from her pose onto the floor. She doesn't have time to regain her senses before two strong arms lift her off the floor. She is about to question him on his weird behaviour when her mouth is suddenly covered by his in a kiss. ------------------------------------------------- Marguerite is very talented. She has a beautiful voice, a great passion for music and various talents in the arts. Unfortunately, her bright future gets compromised when she is forced to leave her world to fulfill the wish of someone else. Marguerite wanting to go home as soon as possible, accepts. However things turn out quite unexpected for her. The cover belongs to the rightful owner. If you are the owner of the art and want me to take it down, DM me on discord burlesque_dancer#2837

Armel's lament

Edward wakes up from his unrestful sleep and sees that Marguerite is still not awake. He wants to wake her up but doesn't act on it, feeling an odd dread in his chest. He doesn't want to see her empty eyes anymore. It's almost torturing.

He at the very least considered Marguerite a friend, but his friend was destroyed because of him. How could he possibly feel okay? 

Yet, he knows that there isn't much he can do.

He approaches her in his cat form and leans in to her ear. He wants to whisper the secret words that could instantly heal her while he knows she is unconscious. This way he can trick his mind and his heart into thinking he did it, he saved her.

But it's all a fallacy. A stupid idea and a vain act. Though that notion doesn't stop him from trying.

"Marguerite, I know you grieve Jurian."

Silence. The steady beating of her heart and her even breathing almost seems to create a serene melody.
