Intense Struggle! (Round 7 - The Database)

As the misty swamp faded and was replaced with a desolate wasteland Aph collapsed back, no longer pinned against a tree. As she hit the ground her head was spinning; the magical effects of the mist coupled with her recent imprinting upon D'Neya was affecting her curiously. She couldn't focus, her head covered in sweat and her body weak and lifeless. Her vision blurred, and she struggled to keep her eyes open, somehow feeling that if she couldn't she would never open them again.
“D'Neya, my dear.” She choked out. But D'Neya didn't respond. She was either distracted or just plain uninterested.
Slowly her eyes closed and she passed into unconsciousness.

And in a way she was right.

Aph as she was now would never open those eyes again.

SpoilerSo I eventually came to realise that Aph is a pain to write. Not so much each individual bit, those are pretty easy to write. The pain to write thing is when she re-imprints on someone new and so we go through all that again and again. I clearly did not think her through. This is why I have been so inactive. This is the first part of a process to make her easier to write and hopefully more fun to read.
