Dreams of Crimson

[Cherry Blossom]

Lucia's entire body shivered from the feeling. She wanted to run in and find Emilia, but she took a deep breath instead. Remembering what Emilia asked of her, that she could be dangerous and harm her. Knowing this, the woman didn't risk it happening for Emilia's sake. She did not want her to have to always live with the knowledge she hurt her beloved Lila Blume.

Lucia struggled. She was panting and gasping, but she didn't step back. Every step felt like an eternity. The air heavy, her lungs struggling as she took heavier breaths, step by step. The fact that she was no ordinary human helped there quite ab it. Her mind set on one thing, and only one thing right now. To find Emilia and to keep the promises she gave her.

"E-..Emilia? My love, it is your Lila Blume. Princess?"

She asked into the fog. Then, Lucia pulled her sidearm. But not out of fear or expecting trouble, no. She used the flashlight mounted on it to try and light up the fog while she took one step after another.

"Emilia...? Where are you?"
