Airviana

The heat

***airia Pov**^*

" my final gift to you airia you are on your own now I will not interfere any longer I have given you all that you will ever need. You will see me when the time is ready"

The words were soft but muffled. I knew exactly who was speaking to me. The goddess. I couldn't recall what had happened but I was wavering between unconsciousness and wakefulness.

There was fire all over my skin and a lightness in my chest. I was unsteady and on edge as I tried to fight myself awake. I felt as if my body was holding down my soul.

" I should have never left you alone, God airia" his sigh was what made me surface. He's steal blue eyes holding me in place" he didn't say anything instead his hand caressed my face. " xaiver" my voice was corse. His eyes were worrisome and he looked sort of disheveled. But I was glad he was here the brush of this skin calmed my insides which raged. He looked at me for a moment and his eyes were unreadable. Realisation touched my chest gently Xavier had grown yet again with out me even noticing. He looked different. Things felt different.

"Airia, do you remember what happened?" I ached all over my mouth was dry and it was rough as I tried to speak. I shook my head slightly. " you blacked out on the new moon. You have been out for four days"
This was all news to me. As I tried to remember back. But nothing was clear.

" your awake" Raines voice sang. And something stirred inside of me I didn't understand. " I have to go but I will be back tomorrow inhave business in town" he sighed looking as if he didn't want to go. I wanted to tell him wait but my throat burned. Mariah and the girls came and went every hour, they brought water and food but non of them could tell me what was wrong no matter how many times they explained what happen.
All I knew there was a fire that lives beneth my skin that almost died out with the Damp cloths placed over me but would seemed to come back with in a few hours.

Xaiver didn't come back which was strange I couldn't understand. It sucked.

The burn was still under my skin but it had subsided. I could talk with out my throat feeling like it had been slit. I pulled myself out of bed and made myself a bath. I longed to soak. Maybe the moons energy had been to much. I let my hair down and my heart broke. Not one of them had mentioned that a change had occurred. I searched for the small mirror. What I found shocked me to the core. My curls had become obsidian. I didn't look like airia. I don't know how long I soaked watching my reflection.

" so she's awake finally"

" don't you knock" sighed he stood behind the curtain I could see his silhouette. Over the other side of the room. " it's my house"
" it's a temple its gods house " I sighed, I didn't really long to talk to him. He made me agitated.

"Well call me god"
Blasphemy idiot. Why was he here.

" how are you feeling" it was a strange question why would he care. " did you do this to me" maybe he was hear cause of guilt. That would make a lot of sense.
" your hair? Now if I do say it's a provoking shade" I could hear the humour his voice held, he was enjoying this too much.

" where's xaiver?"

"Oh the guy who's been aimlessly moping around since your incident, I think Rainier is  keeping him busy why?"
Hmm, I see.
" I think he will be returning home soon celenia elections or something I don't recall" he yawned.

I nodded not really understanding why he was here. Still. I could hardly believe he was hear to see how I was.

" come we need to discuss things for the linage obviously you are the guest of honour. Have you been awake we would have done this already say about three days ago"
Ohh now his visit was clear, I rolled my eye.
" okay I could do with fresh air" I sighed he left why I changed.
