"You are a wild spirit."
She had looked up at him. Surprised. Big eyes wide open.
"I could not have chosen you if you weren't."
It has taken her a while. But finally she understands. Now she does. Now, when she's running through the forest. When the wind seems to carry her, guide her. It talks to her. Connects with her.
Magic is born out of an Element.
"I am Air."
Caithlynn hears the gentle roar of her Dragon in her mind.
Laughing she keeps running. Wanting nothing more than to fly. Far away. Away from sorrow, pain and battles.

Author's Notes:  :|  i have never played silent hill but this might be a silent hill homage. erm. yeah.

A creaking theater in a missing, fog-drowned town. An annual, secret performance, the audience a pinch of ashes.

"Help us," the wraiths plead, and the players do not listen. "We've forgotten."

Not the dancer with dazzling teeth and lupine form, bullet holes sizzling over his heart. Not the sombre violinist, her steel-toed boots keeping pace with calloused, nimble fingers. Not the twins, nomads from some other desert, their voices like smoke and honey and their eyes so cruel.

"Save us," the wraiths howl as the players conclude. "We remember."

"All your sins, come home to roost," the violinist says. "Suffer."
