Finished Inkspell, and felt the need.

From Ash to Ash

She caressed his face, sweet and gentle, feeling the heat from his body fade. Why? Why had he given his life for that boy? Why had he left her again?

She set him down upon the altar, pressing her lips against his scarred cheek, blinking back tears. She'd wanted Brianna here, but she was off mourning Cosimo, giving no time for her long abandoned father. Jehan was not to be involved; it was not his father.

Tears leaked down her cheeks and she wiped them away quickly.

“Goodbye,” she murmured and lit the flames.

He was born for flames, she thought. It seemed fitting that he be returned to them.

Authoress Notes:

My monument to Dustfinger and his tragic death. Gods, I miss him. I cried when I read that.

Sigh. And my sad moment is ruined by AOTS's dirty word scarf. And now Almost Serious Suicide is playing in my ear.

But there you go, some final fluff between Roxane, lest it be one-sided. Dustfinger can't really return the emotion if he's dead. ::Sobs::

It seems wrong to be a feedback whore at this moment, so just review so I don't have to ask.
