worries and heartache

the emotion void

they were both there, not knowing, what had just happened between them, the memory fuzzy. they didn't know, didn't know if they were ok, if they were going to be ok. cries, many, catching the attention of them, yes, them. one, a red head, a Iop, identical to the statue towering above them all. the other, blond, looking like an elf, a cra. the Eliatrope, the Sadida, both in tears. and soon, a dragon, blue and white, surprised at what he saw in his view. the one doing the hugging, the green haired one, slowly let go, let go of the dirty blond haired boy, the one needing the hug. but needing the hug, he was too mentally hurt to hug back.

as they slowly separated, Yugo stayed still, not moving an inch, as Amalia gently parted from him. His eyes were closed, everyone watching, their eyes wide open. his deep brown eyes opened, gazing into Amalia's hazel ones. he hesitated, his cranial wings moving up for a little amount of time, until he looked away from her shamefully, the wings going downwards once more. this caused Amalia to smile, "don't worry. it's ok." she told him. she reached out her hands to the streaming wakfu, as she did so, blue-like fire continued to lick her fingers. Yugo hesitated realizing what Amalia was doing, but soon felt a calming warmth surge through him. it was nothing like he ever felt before. all his choking emotions gone, just like that, but replaced with a warm comforting fire growing inside of him. Amalia felt the same fire lighting inside of her.

soon, the surrounding turned into that same blue, warm flame, that was all the two could see around them. but Yugo's original emotions were slowly coming back, as they did so, the warm fire started going out, instead of the warmth of the blue flame, water surrounded them, replacing the warm comfort with a sickening feeling of, worry, embarrassment, anger, pain, discomfort. fear. Amalia looked around her in the flood of emotion, struggling to keep stable with these mental pains surging through her body. she heard cries, cries of pain, "is somebody there? do you need help?" the cries kept ringing out, they were merely just as unbearable to her emotional pain. as she looked around, she realized who was in pain, and called out to them, "Yugo! it's you isn't it.... all this pain.... it must be what you're feeling..." she looked around, calling out to him, again, and again, waiting for a mere answer.

"AMALIA!" she turned around, running to where the cries came from. there he stood, in the heart of it all, the cause of the flood of sickening pain. both his hands were chained to the floor, and his feet were stuck under the flood of water (the water was shallow) the chains were made out of some sort of magic. Yugo was desperately trying to break free, he was clearly in pain, tears falling down his face, his wing's touching his cheeks. Amalia ran to him in a panic, "Yugo! all these emotions..." "yes, they're mine..." Amalia stared at him,"i know your in pain, but what can i do?" "I DON'T KNOW! I DON'T KNOW WHAT I CAN DO! I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN EVER SURVIVE THIS!!" the water begins to swell up and turn red, the flood getting a lot worse.

Amalia felt a sharp strike going through her, the mental pain getting heavier by the second. "Yugo, whatever happens i'm telling you, telling you to think." Yugo hesitates, "think about everyone, tell me, did Dally judge you? did anyone else judge you?" she panted. Yugo thought for a minute, "no..." the waves slightly calm down, and Amalia felt some of the pain disappear. "that's right, none of us did, no one thinks your a freak, no one thinks your weird, no one thinks your an inhuman monster. the fact that you have a pair of magnificent blue wings emerging from your head, doesn't change anyone's thoughts about you. all that makes you is unique. look at your situation, i know it's not as bad as it seems, i know some of the pain is still there, but just remember, you shouldn't worry about something that is nonexistent."

Yugo took a last look at Amalia, and smiled, one tear falling down his face, and soon into the shallow water below him, but as it did so, the chains started to disappear. the flood died down, the water still there, but only shallow. the pain lifted off Amalia's body, (not all of it, but about 80% of it).

soon, the surrounding they were once in had faded, both back in reality. Amalia took her hands away from Yugo's cranial wings, and gazed into his eyes. he looked at her back and nodded. but as they looked around each-other, they realized they were trapped. trapped in a hug. all of the brotherhood were hugging both Yugo and Amalia. as Yugo got his emotions back, he felt a chill go up his spine, he realized that his wings were being touched by everyone. Amalia saw his reaction and started laughing.
