MSNPC Ozan Zirzal - What Matters Most
Jamie LeBlanc
((Capitol City High Council Chambers – Capricalia))
The world was fading in and out, and the only comfort Ozan took was that he could breathe now.
Breathe, but not focus. Not focus, not stand, not even lift his head. What poison had he drank that so little could affect him so profoundly?
He wondered this in a detached way as if his mind was trying to separate the thinking part of itself from the growing smokecloud of rising horrific fear that threatened to consume him.
Fairhug: High Councillor, you mentioned someone earlier… Merta?
The name he recognized, and slowly his eyes focused on the Bardeezan.
Zirzal: Merta… wife… nurse.
His wife, Merta, was a nurse at the Capitol City medical center, and the only thing he wanted was to see her, talk to her. If he had last words, he wanted to share them with her.
Fairhug: Then you will be safe there?
Zirzal: … Maybe?
He thought he was safe here. This was his office, it had protected generations of capricalians from both internal conflicts and external invasions.
And yet he was attacked right in the heart of his safety. Was anywhere safe?
Fairhug: What do you think, Maddie?
Marsh: I think we need to be on high alert. Whoever, tried to kill the High Councilor likely won’t rest until they finish their mission.
He started to sweat, which seemed odd because it wasn’t very hot outside.
Fairhug: ?
Marsh: Right, and it could be anyone, we proceed with extreme caution.
Zirzal: I don’t … care… where I go… family. I want my family… safe.
He didn’t know how to make that more clear. It felt like a hazy sludge in his mind but all he could picture was his wife and his sons.
Fairhug: ?
Marsh: I suggest we get a plan going and act swiftly. Did you have any strategies in mind?
Fairhug: ?
He lingered on a breath, his head hurting, swimming. The words seemed to blend together like a mirror that was fractured and then glued together wrong.
Zirzal: hurry…
He didn’t know how else to communicate that. His ability to communicate was fading and he wanted to save any words he still had for what mattered most.
Fairhug/Marsh: ?
