Escape and Decend (1/1)

It was going to happen, I knew it would. But I refuse to accept it. How dare they take him away from me! They tore me away from him, my beloved Ward. Why? Why can I not continue to watch over him? Why do they think I'll abandon my role? I cannot leave this place no matter how much I wish to. To leave and be with Zi Tao is something that I long for, and yet, my responsibilities prevent me from doing so. The ripped his mind away from mine and linked it with Winds. I feel as if I have been dropped from my place of respect, as if I have lost their trust. I just want to remain his Guardian!I begged MAMA to let me be his guardian again over and over. She glowered at me and repeatedly shook her head, telling me that it will never happen, so long he is alive. Even his Soul will not be allowed to come near me. Anger. Sadness. Fear. Everything that I was not to feel-- I felt. I felt it all. MAMA knows, I know she knows that I have broken her laws, her rules. I can see the disappointment in her eyes, the hurt and betrayal in her voice gives it away. She tried her best to hide it from me. I know. I was the first she created. I know. I know Humans; I can read their faces, understand their body language, and hear what they truly mean. I have known longer. I am not ignorant. She knows I am not.Here I am now. In this spacious darkness, I have temporarily lost my senses- my abilities to know where I am, to feel the presence of the souls that I protect. They have been cut for a short time. She'll erase my memories of him, just as she did with him. We will forget. I will lose Zi Tao forever, and he will lose me- only to gain another guardian. Blocked memories of me will be replaced by blocked memories of Wind. Of course Wind tends to be more careful and quiet around his Wards, but will he even watch Tao? My spins and my thoughts are rearranged. So begins the process of taking him away from me.One by one, the memories fade. My connection with him starts to dissolve. Tao's face is becoming a blur, first his eyes are gone, then his beautiful smile is replaced with a frown and his lips disappear. His dark hair becomes light and faded. I am going to forget him...I do not want this. Don't take him away from me!...My eyes open and a bright light hits me. I am home; the sun grazes my face and a soft breeze flies through my hair, dancing on my skin. Not a moment ago, I was locked away for my memories to be replaced but here I am at home as if nothing had happened. My home, my sky, my grass, my trees...they all remain. I still remember him too. He lurks in my mind, he is still there. My special ward, I still know him! Zi Tao, a boy with a cat like lips that turn into the brightest smile whenever he is praised, a boy with dark eyes that captivate me always. His laughter, his smiles, his tear stained face, and his shy face- they are still here! Nothing has changed...I sprint to the edge of my land and there I see my brothers come. They come closer and I once again feel an emotion. Fear. I left the Area somehow and they have come to take me back. I- I do not wish to return to that place. I take many steps back, and they land one by one. My home has been invaded. I make haste away from my Brothers. I must run- I have to run far away! Not even ten steps away I feel a burning sensation on my left arm. I fight the touch and try to pull away from the tight grasp, but his hand remains-burning through my colorless robe. My eyes water slightly as it touches skin, and his hold lessens. Taking this opportunity, I pull my wrist free and move forward to the other side of my home. I can tell Fire is being scolded for letting me go for even a second. 'Forgive me, Chanyeol...'A few moments later, I feel a chill on my feet. I am no longer walking and my feet are cold. 'No. Xiumin, let go please...' Frost held his ground, freezing the innocent green grass and the helpless flowers. The others are getting closer and I try to get Frost to release my feet, and he continues to refuse me. Water is here now. He controls my river to pull and push me away from my destination. Frost had let go by now, seeing how Water had everything under control. I resist my own currents, and swim to the edge, attempting to leave Water's grasp. The river flows rapidly and harshly against me. 'I am not letting you take me back there Suho!' With whatever strength I could muster, I swam out of my once peaceful river's grasp and make my way to the other edge. I run as fast as my legs would take me. I can no longer fly, I remember. MAMA took my wings from me before I entered the Area. How cruel she is, taking away a favorite of mine. They chase me down and I do my best to dodge, however, Land is making it extremely difficult right now. He destroys my grounds by cracking and distorting them. 'I will not stop running D.O. I will not let you stop me!' He tore parts of my beloved ground away and it crumbled beneath me, allowing me no rest at every step I took. He pushed my ground until it became uneven; he split the sturdy sand apart, creating gaps and spikes to block my path. But his efforts were in vain.Finally, I reach the edge of my home. I glance back and my heart breaks. My once peaceful sanctuary is now a mess- broken from Land's remodeling, unbalanced due to Water's manipulation to my streams, still and dead because of Frost's ice, and my once flourishing plains are now scorched thanks to Fire's uncontrollable flames. My feet are bare, bleeding and cold, my sleeves and arms are burnt, and my ripped clothes cling to my body due to being soaked with water. A sudden gust of wind blows at me, making me shiver slightly.In front of me is Wind. I can feel his eyes looking at me with remorse. 'I want him back Sehun.' He pushes against me and I hold my place. I jump off the edge and onto his winds. He twists and turns them, trying to throw me off, but I remain on. I use his air to push myself further up, and I spread my wings. I can no longer fly on my own, but with Wind, I can escape. We wrestle for power and eventually, I let him take over. He knows not where we are. How close I am to leaving this place. His name is called and he realizes what he has done. A smirk graces my features as I fall in his winds, snatching them away from him temporarily. He has stopped already, just floating in place as I leave my creator's world. A burden has been lifted from my shoulders as I look down to the vast blue underneath me. The sun's warmth radiates onto my back.My wings begin to fall apart, but I do not mind. A fresh smell invades my senses and I smile, welcoming it. I grab onto the winds and ride them down to the material world.To the world where my precious Ward resides.He may not remember me.But I still do.Zi Tao...   A/N: Haha~ He left them!
