The Councilor (OPEN)

Enelya bit her lip, and tried searching for an answer to his question. "I feel... Confused." She supposed she would have to start with the leaving of Kotah. That what was really effecting her now. "I umm..." She took a deep breath. Telling this man these things was hard for her. She wasn't exactly open with her problems, but she needed to tell someone who would be able to help her. "I befriended this boy, and eventually fell in love with him. And until recently, about a week ago, he told me he had to leave. On some journey. I don't really know why... And I could not come with him..." She bit her lip once more, and wasn't sure if she could continue with her story.. She figured she would just stop momentarily, and she what Ice had to say about it.

Enelya turned a very, very bright tomato red, and she shook her head violently. "No, nothing like that... We... never even kissed." She smiled, remembering their relationship. It was a friendship so intimate, and close, that it evolved from friendship into love without even skipping a beat. It was beautiful, and the longingness of Kotah made her eyes tear. He had become apart of her, and she felt as if half of her was missing now.

"He had strange powers, and no, he did not tell me where he was going. I don't think he even knew. I think he left, because he wanted to learn more of his powers, which was something he couldn't do here. But I just don't understand why he couldn't take me with him..." She wiped her eye, which was forming small tears in it. She would not cry. Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry... She told herself.

Her cheeks stopped flushing, and soon returned to the normal olive color of her skin. She took another deep breath, recalling her beloved Kotah, and curled her lips into her mouth, wetting them. "He was seventeen years old... And I'm not sure what his power was called, but he could curse somone with blood. It was the most unusual power I have ever come across, and well, it was to a point scary. But I really think I love him..." Her voice trailed off, for she realized that she had never told him that she loved him... She didn't really need to. Just as she didn't need to kiss him, or be overly physical with him to express her feelings... They were that close.

As she started to remember the night on the roof, she verbalized her memories. "We had promised eachother once, to see a sunset in the trees. We had already done that a couple weeks ago... And also, to see a sunset on the roof... For it was what he used to do at his house before he came to the academy. We were on the roof, and I painted his picture, along with the amazing sunset behind him." She waved her hands in the air, as if she was painting him again. That night was so perfect... Until... "Then, as we were sitting on the ledge, he told me he had to go away for awhile. He couldn't tell me why, or where. But I could see in his eyes that he was scared, and wasn't sure exactly where he was going off to. A self-enlightening journey, we called it." Her eyes went distant as she remembered the lonliest night of her life. "Then... He was gone."

"Also, you think you love him? Sorry, just with this it seems that the platonic relationship that was just a tad unstable, but go on."

Their relationship was anything but unstable... But she kept silent.

"I...I'm sorry...I can only think that his powers were taking over him and he didn't want you to see him in such pain. Would you care to try and get some reconciliation...maybe...or would you like to see him on that sunset one last time?"

Enelya tilted her head, and furrowed her brows. She looked at Ice, and shook her head. "I'm... not quite sure I understand what your asking me. What do you mean, see him one last time?"

Kyako couldn't help but overhear their conversation but kept quiet. Her time would come. Thoughts tormented her though, when she figured out what Ice's power was. Thoughts about her birth parents, and other things.
