	Just breathe. A simple action. Natural. Automatic. Yet at times it isn't that simple. The hooded eyes of Siduri closed and she focused. Focused on the winds around her, the rustling of leaves in the trees. The sound of her heart beating in her ears. Count. Breathe in, count. One, two, three, four, five. Breathe out, count. One, two, three, four, five. [color=D8BFD8][i]Yes, there it is.[/i][/color] Breathe in, count. One, two, three, four, five. Breathe out, count. One, two, three, four, five. [color=D8BFD8][i]Do you hear me?[/i][/color] Breathe in, count. One, two, three, four, five. Breathe out, count. One, two, three, four, five. [i][color=D8BFD8]Yes, I hear you.[/color][/i] Breathe in, count. One, two, three, four, five. Breathe out, count. One, two, three, four, five. [i][color=D8BFD8]Where are you?[/color][/i] Breathe in, count. One, two, three, four, five. Breathe out, count. One, two, three, four, five. [i][color=D8BFD8]There you are.[/color][/i] Breathe in, count. One, two, three, four, five. Breathe out, count. One, two, three, four, five. [color=D8BFD8][i]Would you?[/i][/color] Breathe in, count. One, two, three, four, five. Breathe out, count. One, two, three, four, five. [i][color=D8BFD8]Even for a short time?[/color][/i] Breathe in, count. One, two, three, four, five. Breathe out, count. One, two, three, four, five. [color=D8BFD8][i]Thank you.[/i][/color] Breathe in, count. One, two, three, four, five. Breathe out, count. One, two, three, four, five.

	Ballet pink slipper eyes opened and flickered rapidly as she stepped off the porch. Her fragile form seeming to glide over the ground as she moved around the main house and towards the swamp. Towards the waters edge. Towards the tree. Her long face tilting to the side as the grave came into view. The dirt still loose. There wasn't much time. It would only be temporary but it was an added figure to their small arsenal. Swallowing, her thing throat bobbed slightly. Leaning down, her white dress piling up around her ankles as she pressed her hands into the fresh earth. Running her fingers through it and letting it fall like sands through an hour glass. A small quake reverberated through the loop. It wasn't something that anyone would miss. 

	Breathe in, count. One, two, three, four, five. Breathe out, count. One, two, three, four, five. [i][color=D8BFD8]Fight for it.[/color][/i] Breathe in, count. One, two, three, four, five. Breathe out, count. One, two, three, four, five. [color=D8BFD8][i]It won't be easy.[/i][/color] Breathe in, count. One, two, three, four, five. Breathe out, count. One, two, three, four, five. [color=D8BFD8][i]There, keep coming.[/i][/color] Breathe in, count. One, two, three, four, five. Breathe out, count. One, two, three, four, five. [color=D8BFD8][i]Follow the pull.[/i][/color] Breathe in, count. One, two, three, four, five. Breathe out, count. One, two, three, four, five. [color=D8BFD8][i]Don't stop, you're so close.[/i][/color] Breathe in, count. One, two, three, four, five. Breathe out, count. One, two, three, four, five.

	There it was, she felt it. Skin to skin. Hand to hand. Earth shifting, soil moving, rising and falling. Lacing fingers together she slowly stood to rise and he rose. A layer of the swamp covering him, dirty but dry. Dead but alive but was that anything new in these parts? For this one, it was. His jade green eyes shining as he blinked and stepped from the grave. He looked confused, lost. She looked understanding as she lead him from the hole that sunk in as his body left the space. [color=82ca9d]"You? You, it was you?"[/color] he asked in an British accent. She just nodded. Yes it had been her. [color=82ca9d]"I thought it was a dream."[/color]

	[color=D8BFD8]"No my child but like all dreams, this will end."[/color] He seemed to understand. This wasn't permanent, this was only temporary. Then again, life always was.
