Celes Timmerlin: How the Mighty Fall

Celes walked slowly to the edge of the cut-off bridge overlooking the southern lake. She looked out over the calm waters as the moon rose overhead. It cast its light down to shine over the water, glistening on the slow waves and ripples.

In some ways, this new place was very much like her home. In many ways it was not. But it didn’t matter any more. This was where she had been taken and she had to make the best of it.

The solemn redhead gave a look down at her ceremonial robes which had been her honor to wear as the Protector of her peoples’ little kingdom. Red furs adorned with gold plated medalions, holy symbols, and shamanistic trinkets. What was it now, but just a meaningless robe. A reminder of what she had lost, of what had been taken from her.

She breathed a heavy sigh as she recalled the events that lead her here. Betrayed, ostricized, and shunned, forcing her to leave, all for the sake of their ignorance and superstition. She closed her eyes, seeing the faces of those who had once shouted her praise and been her biggest supporters, only to turn on her because she had an ability they did not understand and feared. An ability they had encouraged her to grow and foster for the safety of the kingdom. An ability she had employed to help them overthrow their oppressor.

Now all she was to them was the Red Witch.

Suddunley she grabbed the robe and ripped it from her body, casting it over the edge and into the wind, which blew it a ways until it landed below in the lake.

With a huff, Celes Timmerlin turned away from the water, clad in her red shorts, knee-high boots, and formal-ish blouse she had been wearing under the robe, and returned to the grasslands. When once she used her powers to help liberate a people…now she used them to hunt Kath for Czerka…

Dispicable.
