soulping | Canis's heart

The moment you step through the mirror door, you seem to - slip, as if the floor were made of wax, but when you fall there is no floor to catch you; only darkness.

You fall for some time. Eventually, it feels as if you're not falling at all - but rather, floating . . . and some time after that, it almost feels as if you have no body at all. The light from which the entrance of Canis's heart is disappears quickly, and you're left with nothing - not even your own screams, if you have any; nothing seems to leave your throat, and there's no sound at all, besides. Even the rushing of wind is gone, and your own pulse seems to fade away. . .

. . . what penetrates your consciousness next is the soft sound of music. Someway or another, you find yourself on a white platform; you're dressed in plain clothes of your team color, all items gone from your person. In front of you, four stones float; all perfectly square and identical to each other. Each have images - a sword, a staff, a bow and arrow, and a sparkling circle . . . you understand what you must do.

"Those shards used to be 'the object of Devotion'."

"Sirius" sits at one of the tables, grinding the flowers together with a mortar and pestle.

"He won't let go. Those are a part of him."

...

[ she thinks she knows what happened without needing to ask anything else, and tries to wrap the bandages around Devotion's hands, gently so to not cause him more pain and with a murmur of "This will help you hold onto them."

she's angry now, not at Mira not at Devotion or Sirius but at whatever (whoever) was responsible for this in the first place.

Canis is hurting, Mira is hurting, and she's seeing red even while her hands tremble and she blinks back tears. ]

Mira, let me get the shards out of your arms. I'll wrap them up for Canis to hold onto, and then I- I'm going to go find the infection.

[ after a moment of silence he shifts, moves an arm out and extends it towards sparrow--but the other arm moves to hold onto devotion harder, pulls him closer, fingers digging into the flesh of his shoulder to make sure he's not going to. go anywhere or anything.

the arm he's holding out has most the shards in it--his other arm's a lot better off. ]

I wanna get rid of it.

Devotion doesn't seem particularly bothered by it. Devotion doesn't seem to be particularly bothered by anything.

"Sirius", though, looks a bit troubled.

"That'll be difficult. . . you really want to do that?"

Of course.

[ she tries to be both quick and careful while pulling the shards from Mira's arm, setting them onto a piece of her torn dress. ]

I don't care if it's hard. It's for Canis.

. . I'm gonna go.

[ sslowly moving to get himself up. ]

[ STOPPING HIM ]

No you're not.

"There are so many of you. . . "

Standing up, with a vial of weird liquid in his hand.

Lupus?

[ she's surprised enough by suddenly wolffriend that she stops in the middle of standing up ]

What do you mean?

It doesn't look like it's here, does it.

[ nnot even looking at lupus. ]

You two can go find it if it is.

We're all gonna keep going together.

"That's a good idea, I think. . . "

And he offers the vial to Sparrow.

"Have him drink this."

We'll be better off as a team.

[ she takes the vial and holds onto it tightly ]

What will it do?

"Heal him, of course. You asked me to do that."

[ she smiles, and tries to tug on his... apron... ]

Bend down for a sec?

. . . Bends down. . . for her?

--hey!

[ IGNORES MIRA and tips Sirius' hat out of the way so she can kiss his forehead. ]

Thank you.

[ GRABBING MIRA'S ARM. ]

Stop saying words.

". . . It's nothing."

[ YANKING ON HIS ARM. ]

Get off me.

No.

Take care of Canis' feelings, okay? Give them water and care before deciding to prune them.

[ smiles and steps back a little, p much ignoring Mira and Lupus for the moment ]

And we'll do everything we can to help him too, because we love Canis.

. . . He smiles.

"Sure."

I love him way more than you love him!

[ SPARROW. ]
