After having been accosted by Glimmer on the way to her quarters, Akon glanced with tired dull eyes at the message given to her on the parchment the Fae had delivered. She read over it and with not so much if a shrug tossed it away carelessly in a ball of purple dark energy, which destroyed it entirely. She stowed away the cookies given her by Glimmer and made her way to the lakeshore. She slowly waded into the waters, her robes and armorments still adorened, the water around her darkening as the gore from the ritual washed free of her form. She bent then her head to the water and dipped her hands below the surface to bring the cleansing water to wash over her head. She took a deep breath inward as she straightened herself in the moonlight, eyes closed as the water trickeled down her face and shoulders. Her eyes then opened as she watched her reflection clear and sharpen as the waters around her stilled. She looked pale, her face solumn and all hint of joy or emotion seemed deadened. All thoughts that ran across her dark gaze in that moment were only voiced internally as the solitary figure looked at her own reflection staring back at her. She stood there silent, reflecting on all that was and is and might be, only the soothing lapping of the lake echoing in the forrested grove.
After a long moment, she then tured shoreward, wading back clear from the waters as she made her way back towards town.
