This is going to be some of the conversations between my two characters Ird and Lilith. Some will be written in poem format and some won't. Not sure how many of these there will be.

Does She Remember?
"You'll leave. Everyone does."
Four words spoken from the heart
Weary little one, the truth is often heavy is it not?
You're so earnest dear, how many have you seen go?
Close my eyes, bow my head
The truth is hard to blind
"Yes. I've always been a leaver....why stay when no one else does?"
I look at her, eyes narrowed
Something as big as her, scared?
You can go, leave anytime you want
Seek what you must
I remain here.
No matter what.
"Of course you'll go! No one cares about Ird!"
Oh little creature....don't you know?
If you love it let it go
This world will forget me, drag me down and kill me
I'll fade from your memory too
I can never stay.
"I do. I-I can't stay, I'll be here until the end of time."

Are you?
Today was a quiet one, no demons, no battles, no mentally unstable individuals to cause panic. The great blue doe was sunning herself on her favorite willow hill, soaking up the sunshine like a lazy cat. She carefully watched the hyperactive grass creature bounce about the base of a willow close to hers, the last time she'd let her guard down she ended up getting hit in the face by an excited koi fish. Not something she wanted to repeat, the irritating creature had shrieked in amusement by her hissing, spitting reaction. The very recollection of that event makes her eyes narrow and a huff rise out of her.
When it finally settles down with a large frog, she allows herself to doze off a bit. Face turned away from the idol spirit, eyes closed.
