Alone...

  I don't like feeling alone...

  Senna expined something to me called sleep. Apparently humans don't usually stay outside when the moon rises into the sky, I don't understand why though... I am perfectly fine under the moon so why aren't they...

  But I suppose I am different... I am just a... mana construct...

  ...

  Thoughts... too many unpleasant thoughts fill my mind... I push them away as far as I can and y there trying to focus on everything around me instead.

  The snow on my back.

  The vast sea of lights in the darkness above me.

  The cold in the air.

  The swaying of the leaves.

  The warmth of Senna's fme...

  I roll onto my side and gnce at the fme but it looks... unwell... The fme was much bigger earlier but... but now it is dwindling... shrinking. My thoughts begin to spiral, t-the never-ending darkness... if- if Senna's fme goes out w-won't they end up in that pce like I did.

  No no no no.. I- I can't let that happen I can't... I don't want to be alone again...

  I frantically rush over to the stone circle housing Senna's fme, how... how do I help the fme like Senna did for mine...

  I try to mimic the motions Senna made with their hands earlier...

  nothing.

  I try to mimic the motions again... I- I must of done it incorrectly...

  nothing.

  I try again... I have to...

  nothing.

  I try again.

  I try again.

  I try again.

  Why...why why why... why does it not work.

  My chest aches, everything around me is spinning, I am shaking, I can't focus I can't-

  I grab my head with both my hands... fme fme fme... I- I am fme... my core... is fme...

  I begin to cw at my torso, the sounds of stone and metal scraping together flooding into my mind.

  The warmth.

  The fme is in there.

  I just need to.

  I need to-

  "BLUE WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?"

  I crack my head to left to see Senna standing there in the snow, hair a mess, concern on their face. My hands drop to my sides... and I sit there... shaking.

  "Blue why are you cwing at yourself like that? are you ok? what happened?"

  Why... why is Senna worrying about me w-when their fme is so low, I shakily reach out and grasp the dying fme with my hands as it begins to fade... leaving nothing but ash.

  I- I failed... I couldn't-

  "The campfire?" I twist my head back around to see Senna still standing there over me, completely unharmed, unfazed. "Are you scared of the dark Blue? I'm sorry I didn't realise, I would've let the fire burn longer if I knew."

  ...

  Senna slowly walks over to the dead fme in front of me and with a drawn out hand motion reignites the fire back to its former self. "There we go." Senna says while yawning. "Ok I really got to go back to sleep Blue, I'll see you in the morning ok?" Senna taps me on the shoulder gently then slowly walks off towards their shelter.

  ...

  ...

  I sit motionless by the fire the rest of the night...
