All Of This Time, I Wasn't Looking For Someone Who Could Defeat Me. I Was Looking For Someone Who Could
❛ all of this time, i wasn't looking for someone who could defeat me. i was looking for someone who could see what i see, feel what i feel... ❜ – @tanthalos
Fighting between them has always been a dance. Jade steps here, Kit moves there. Kit’s blue blade comes down, Jade’s green one flies up. Sparks fly before pushing off, searching for the next opening. Sparks always fly. But they've never danced so fast before, so lethally. Jade swings her blade down. She doesn’t want to mortally injure Kit. Just wound her well enough that she stops. Even Jade grows exhausted of swinging her lightsaber about, blocking, striking, pushing. And it weighs heavier with the conflict she feels swirling in the girl who was once her best friend. A storm so dark that Jade barely sees into it anymore. “And in your search, you chose to make enemies instead,” Jade observes when their blades lock once more. “Come home, Kit. Stop hiding.”

KIT TANTHALOS in WILLOW S01E07 | Beyond the Shattered Sea
His words trigger her sympathy for him. She can’t imagine her home being basically no more. And yet, that is the danger she and her friends are facing. The Wyrm is coming to destroy life as they know it. If they can’t stop it, if they lose this war, her realm, her home will be gone, overtaken by darkness. Maybe it won’t be uninhabitable, but it will be the end as they know it.
“I’m sorry,” she tells him sincerely. “My home is in trouble, too. Me and my friends, we’re trying to stop it.” She pauses, looking back out at the sunset. She’s reminded of the beauty of the Shattered Sea, but also the ever changing behavior of time there and beyond, the way night and day felt like separate entities with no transition in the Immemorial City. What if they lose this? “That’s why sights like this are so important.”
The giant feels his heart flutter. There is that human concept again, love. He's heard much about it, and it seems to him an awfully positive and pleasant thing, to be in love with someone. He can't help but smile as he thinks of this knight being happy, truly happy, with another. With this Kit. He has an abundance of questions about her, about them and their love.
But he cannot ask them. Ingvar's heart sinks into the pit of his stomach with the subject change, and his smile is wiped clean from his face as though it were never there in the first place.
"Not safe... I am supposing. It... so far as I am knowing, it is no longer..."
He paused, trying to think of the right words.
"... habitable, I fear."
