Snippet #1795830

Confusion clouded Morrigan's vision as she stared at the strange people in front of her. She had simply been practicing on the court before some man approached her while she was making a free throw. He was friendly, and when she had reached down to pick up the basketball, he slammed something down over her head. She was disoriented and managed to yank him down with her before he hit her again, and then, there was darkness. Now all of a sudden strange people were telling her that she was some deceased warrior? She definitely wasn't that, hell, she couldn't look people in the eye half the time. Her body was hunched over in the chair, the bindings nipped at he sides due to the position but she didn't care, it was a trick to try and conceal her height.

Blue eyes focused on her kidnappers as they untied the other captives, allowing them one buy one to go up and retrieve an orb. It looked simple enough an-OH DEAR LORD DID HE REALLY EAT THAT! Morrigan couldn't help cringing slightly at the sight, hoping he didn't choke or need surgery. Gnawing at her bottom lip slightly, she hoped that it wasn't necessary to ingest the orbs. The others seemed to merely grasp them in a normal fashion, causing her to let out a sigh of relief. These people scared her a bit, though most would laugh at the thought of a giant like her being scared of people, she couldn't help it. But then again, she pretty much tried to avoid people in general so that was probably normal. Slowly, the guards approached her, sliding a sharp dagger under the ropes and slowly slicing them away. As soon as she was free, she slid out of the chair and quickly moved away from said person like a scared animal. Her blunt nails gently clawed at her wristbands as she glanced around before moving towards the table. Her icy blue eyes scanned the contents of the table, trying to find on that was suitable. Out of the corner of her eye she noticed one that seemed a bit different from the others, it wasn't exactly shiny nor particularly breath taking. But as she looked inside she could almost hear the roars of creatures caged by their oppressors, begging to be set free, begging for her to let them.

Slowly, she reached forward, her large hand gently closing around its smooth surface. Suddenly her hands clutched her back as pain shot through it, her heart beating for beyond its normal rate. She could hear the clash of swords and the cries of fallen men,....and something else. A child. A breath taking child with soft brown locks and pale opal like eyes, the light soon fading from them as the child's body became covered in blood. Grief of such intensity flooded her body and she let out a low strangled cry, her hand tightening around the orb and threatening to break it. And then...nothing. She was back in the strange room with guards staring at her shaking form. It had all been in the past, she really had been that person. She had been a mother. She gripped her trembling wrist tightly, trying to calm herself. "I-Its all in the past",she said softly as she picked up and jewel and slowly slid it into her pocket.

"It's all in the past."
