Description

(spoilers if you havent' read Legends: Darkstalker) 

  "All those futures I saw, all the plans I made to take us along the right paths . . . that's all gone now.
We never got married. We never took the throne or stopped the war. We never had our dragonets.
    She closed her eyes, trying not to think about that. How could she mourn dragons who'd never existed in the
first place? They were no more real than anything else about the timelines she'd shattered.
    But she could still see their faces in her mind, and she knew she would always miss them.
    What am I going to do now?
    She took a deep breath and let the new futures roll out before her
    There was nothing for her back in the tribe. The other Nightwings would never trust her again after seeing
her on that stage with Darkstalker, even if she told the what she'd done to him - and she couldn't tell anyone that..."
    "Rejoining the tribe led to some more dangerous paths, too - the ones where she felt so alone, and missed him so
much, that teh temptation to return and release him became too great. Even knowing the Very Bad Things that would
follow, she could see how she might fall.
    I could stay with him. I could lie down in the path of the avalanche and wait to die.
    Right now she was sad enough to think for a moment that maybe that was the best choice.
    But she was also a seer. She could feel her overpowering grief now, and at the same time she could look into
the future and see a time when she would not be this sad."

-Legends: Darkstalker, pgs 356-357

I love this scene so much, I had to include it. I finally finished this beast of a drawing. This drawing is Clearsight thinking over her futures with Darkstalker (The part where she thinks of laying with him). This book gives me the feels but I still love it so much man.
