Forget Me Not
“Nor was he guilty of the crime that had landed him here on this prison world—on Obliterra.Rage burned low and hot within him, smoldering and useless. Already he could feel his powers fading. He had not been here long, and yet the dampening effect of this world was already sucking the life from him.He had to get back home and make things right. His sister’s death could not go unpunished.This small human woman was the key to his escape, and he was going to use her as such. As keys went, she was a... delightful one—so open and concerned. Gaining her trust would be a simple matter.She sagged in his grip as he pulled from her the basic information he needed to survive. Communication was vital, so her language came first. It was choppy and needlessly complicated by the lack of magic to aid understanding. Still, he absorbed all of it he could, unsure of which pieces he might need.He found her name and practiced the sound aloud. “Adreeahbenwah.”She let out a soft noise of recognition, and it stroked over him like the lightest touch, making him aware of just how lovely his self-proclaimed rescuer was.Her skin was darker than his, with a warm glow his kind could never achieve under their sun.MoreLess
