He watches the moon swing, arcing over the skies as it worships its fixation. But its idolatry is not returned. All of the world continues expediently beyond normal pacing. It's as if only their connection slows down the fueled adrenaline that quickens the dream. A chaotic blur surrounds us all, whizzing past through the lines of light-speed; nothing seen for what it is but what we watch here within this tunnel vision. A straight line casts, one looking to the other and the other. None of them realize the extent of their touch, linked to and from for hands in hands in youth to agelessness. One stares at him now, some lower echelon of their station. He doesn't know this face, curiously drawing to him. He sees another in the distance, one whom he can never disturb; that woman's perfection still unbent by his watch. But he stares at another now, who stares beyond. If only she could be here now. But where was here? Where had she gone? Arisa...
Lucifer shook awake, jolting violently from a deep sleep. The back of his wrist hit the panel, the metal interior of the ship greeting him good morning. Wincing, he looked around. The bed was small, too small to fit both Arisa and he. But she was not with him, only managing to be his first thought of conscience.
The sheets were twisted and tossed, a disturbing state left from his escape -trapped in the bed and locked to new tides- as he already began to forget what was his eerily foreboding dream.
Lucifer sat up, kicking his feet over the side and touching the cool metal floor. His toes kneaded and flexed sensually, fingers digging into the mattress. He took a deep breath, filling his chest full as his supple skin spasms with a twitch here and there in remembering its strength. The breath fed into a yawn and he remembered, immediately loosing the breath necessary to sustain it. His eyes widened, remembering the monstrous terror of a man, and Gabriel, some blooming tree with black fruit all with their systems reversed to feed back into the veins that connected them. And the riots, so much insanity lashing out against each other as he cut through it. He had killed to get to him. He had made the choice to face him, and him alone. But something terrible had happened, and everything changed. Or did it?
Lucifer shivered, the stress of mental awareness burdening him less so as he tried to distance himself from the thought of it. As he could, he pretended that nothing was wrong, that he had made no choice, whether right or wrong, and simply took time to be with a friend. He was gone now though, hopefully soon to return.
So Lucifer got up, clothing himself in his still marked and spattered costume of a Jedi rebel child who didn't care for robes. He walked his way towards the exit ramp, pressed the button, and lowered it; stepping out into the darkness. Here he stood, on Ryloth, on the shaded side of the grade. It was relevant, for there were really only two sides; the light, and the dark. But to him, both sides had always harbored shadows.
