Welcome to Gaia! ::

Seth takes a step back from Lina, letting his arms slip from around her slowly. "If I know anything from my short life, everyone can be beaten. Just because he is skilled in staying hidden, doesn't mean he can fight. I may not know anything about fighting, but I won't let him get near you again. I promise." Seth said quietly to Lina. He held power in his words, fueled by his love for Lina, though he would never tell her.

Seth frowns lightly at the sensation he gets from watching Lina. The curse that had been placed upon her seems to pulsate, shifting so suddenly. He watches as the woman's eyes seem to gloss over and he feels sick, he knows her vision is failing. Seth places a hand on Lina's shoulder and lets his energy flow from his hand into her body. He isn't searching for her eyes, but the source of the curse. It is elusive, well hidden within the woman's aura, but he locates it. He tries to grasp the anomaly but a strong barrier is placed about it and he can't touch it. Seth pulls his mind back, allowing his aura to try and sooth the woman, sending in a soft warmth through her body, but knows it isn't enough to fix his mistake. He places his other hand below Lina's chin and picks her head up slowly. "I am sorry. . . You are suffering, and I can't help." Seth said quietly, his voice failing.

Seth tried to smile, he knew she was happy about so much, but he still felt so useless. His smile was shaky, stuck between a small smile, and a frown, he wasn't able to smile fully. But accompanied by this growing feeling of regret and sadness he could feel the burning desire to right this wrong, to make the cause of this pain pay for such acts. He would protect her from any more pain, even if it costs him his life. "I know." He said quietly. He can feel his voice failing at this point, unable to sustain a sentence while he felt this way. Seth averts his eyes.

Seth closed his eyes, turning his head away from Lina, he couldn't bear it any more. He had known this would happen, he could have stopped it, but he didn't care, he wanted it to happen. It might as well had been him who placed the curse on her. He couldn't tell her about Yinar's warning, he couldn't take it if she hated him, but right now it seemed inviting. Though her touch was pleasing to him, it held a strange burn to it, knowing that she felt how she did about him and not knowing the truth was more painful than any blade or spell. He wanted to speak, to tell her something, but he couldn't, the pain was too much.

Seth bites his lower lip, a tear sliding down his cheek as he feels her run out of the room. He wants so badly to chase after her, to feel her gentle touch once more against his skin, but he won't allow it. He can feel her pain, he knows what she is thinking, a strange feeling for one such as himself, and it only magnifies his feeling of guilt. The tear he had let slip touched the ground below him and sunk into the stone as if it had never been there. Though the strange properties of his tear was something he wasn't expecting. The jewel that had shattered on the floor mere moments ago repaired almost instantly, as if it had never broken. Seth opened his eyes, forcing back the tears in his eyes and noticed the shinning jewel. He knelt down and picked up the gem, running his fingers over the smooth surface. Seth placed the item in his pocket before turning to leave, but stay just close enough so the man couldn't do anything without his knowing.

Seth was about to leave the library when he hears Lina speak to him. He was grateful that he had a reason to feel her hand, but didn't understand why she would need his help, her brother was in her room. Seth smiled though and turned towards Lina. "Yes, I can." Seth said quietly as he turned to head towards Lina. He slipped his hand in with hers and waited for her to stand up. "Where do you want to go?" Seth asked. The short reprieve he had gave Seth enough time to regain his emotions, pushing aside his guilt for now, though it kept nagging at the back of his head.

Seth could feel the sadness emanating from Lina, but didn't wish to question her for it. He nodded his head slowly and started for the door, though he moved slow so he could have time with Lina, he didn't make it conspicuous. He kept his grip firm on Lina's hand, not wanting to ever let her go, not if it would lead her to harm. Walking down the hall Seth saw the door that they needed and slowed his walk considerably. "We are here." He said quietly.
