Night had fallen fast upon the ruins. The hours that had gone by that was previously painted with hues of red, orange, and pink had all but faded, leaving only a matt black canvas with no stars to be looked upon.

The darkness was thick and only a small source of light allowed you to see a limited portion of your surroundings. Other than the darkness and yourself, all that seemed to exist was the cold wind that brushed against your bare skin.

Cold water soaked your whole body, almost freezing as it went. Your face was drenched, the droplets coming together to run into your eyes and drip from your chin. You released a shaky sigh and lowered yourself even further into the lake to cool down your burning face.

Today was rather... eventful, so to say. You bit your lower lip, remembering the time you had gotten intimate with him. It made your heart race and face burn just reminiscing those scenes that happened an hour ago. You sank yourself even more until your entire head was submerged in the cool waters. 

Stop thinking about it!

You scolded yourself and shut your eyes tightly to erase the salacious thoughts breaching your head. Truth to be told, you still couldn't believe if it was real or just a fragment of your imagination. If it was the latter, then you should be ashamed for having thoughts such as that.

Forgive me, father, mother, and to the Celestia! You cried internally and buried your face in your hands. The water did little to cool down your already burning face, so you sank yourself even further into the lake.

But even so, you couldn't help but remind yourself how much Venti had poured his love into you. His kisses were desperate and needy, clinging and holding you close to him in fear of losing you. Your fingers lightly traced the edge of your lower lip, faintly remembering how his lips brushed against yours.

The beating of your heart raced and you lifted yourself, gathering the air you needed after letting yourself be doused underwater. Another sigh spilled from you as you gazed upwards, staring absently at the blank canvas of the midnight sky.

A promise to stay together...

A sudden worry about your wisp friend entered your head. You wondered if he had really disappeared or not. It felt odd he was missing from the group, as the three of you were always together. You prayed to the Celestia hoping that he was fine and safe, hoping he would return to the two of you.

Your mind faded into dullness and everything became a foggy illusion. The quietness of the spring calmed you, taking your mind off of things— all the things you honestly were unconcerned about. It was the water. Your mind swirled, like standing on an everlasting waterfall. Ever so beautiful, but it could never last.

You blinked and your scrutiny went towards the stream, noticing a turquoise light shimmering underneath. A brow arched from your front in curiosity, and you sat up properly to get a good look at it.

Like a butterfly entranced by the sight of nectar, you were attracted to the mesmerizing glow of the waters. Unable to turn away, you reached for it and felt your own fingers roaming over your leg.

Your leg...? Now that you looked closely at it, with a little bit of trouble observing in the dark, there were marks circling around your thighs. A light teal jagged pattern surrounded it, combined with little shapes of triangles and diamonds.
