Shooting Star

"My lady please."

Her cries went unanswered, the slender fingers that once struck the cords of her bow more beautifully than any lyre or harp, now scrambled brokenly at the cliffs sheer edge.
Another strangled cry ripped its way from her throat, sounding more frightened than she cared to admit as she failed to find purchase in the grassless cluster of pebbles she clung to.

"Please- I-I didnt mean it! Please please please! I'll be better I can take it back!

Her pleas fell on deaf ears, the scowling face of lady Artemis staring down at the young huntress- no ex huntress, with something akin to grief.

"Lady Artemis-"

"Goodbye Carina"

And Artemis was gone, leading the rest of the hunters away. The only sign they were ever there was the soft cries of grief that even her less vulnerable comrades had left her with.

A parting gift, she supposed.

And with a sigh much like the one Artemis graced her with mere moments ago, Carina let go.

If she was someone else she might've closed her eyes, accepted what was to come with a tired resignation, but she was not someone else.

Carina Victoria Sanchez fell with her eyes firmly on the moon, the softest of smiles gracing her lips as she took her final breathe.
"Goodbye my lady"

And then the last lieutenant of Artemis, who had been in service for hundreds of years and done it well, hit the ground.
