Blood still upon his hooves Roux made his way out of town. He didn't want to be seen. He didn't want to face what he had done. More than anything he didn't want to see Rose, or that look in her eyes. He had hurt her deeply. That much he knew. Even if he could have, he knew he couldn't have undone the orange evil's death. It had to happen. It had to, so that the town would be safe once again. In the back of his head though he wished he hadn't been the one to give that final blow.
Hooves heavy and muscles tired he continued on his way. Waiting for the call of the river to sound within his ears and to ease his aching mind.

A river dolphin swam up through the river, and as it surfaced for air, the blue raindrop was exposed to the air. It realized that it had company, as it heard Roux approaching, so instead of continuing on it's way, it stopped to wait until the other appeared.

The sound of running water was like music to Roux's ears. Though it steadied his nerves it could nothing to fill the hole within him.
For only being with the stripe for a day he couldn't understand how it had left him so empty. So alone.
Roux's hooves came to a stop as brown eyes focused upon his boat bobbing up and down ever so slightly in the river.

Before Roux could take another step there was a flash of light so bright he had to close his eyes, and then a voice spoke.
Roux - you have done well as our Champion. Do not pity your actions, for although it may have hurt one, it kept an equal hurt from all the rest. You have an inner strength in you that far succeeds the outer.
And a small whisp of the red stripe flew back into him; not enough to make him glow, or give him the strength he held once before, but just enough to ease his spirit and fill his soul.
(You can choose or not if you want the stripe to manifest itself as a "second symbol" sort of thing.)

The dolphin saw no one coming, so moved on.

The emptiness left him as the voice finished speaking.
No longer alone. He felt whole. A smile began tugging at the corners of his mouth as he leapt like a love struck colt towards his boat. As his hoof touched the rail, his thoughts suddenly turned to Jewel. He had no idea if she was all right, or even if she was still near the castle. Quickly he turned and headed back into town.
[OOC: Is it all right if Roux ends up with red highlights in his hair, that show in sunlight, instead of a second symbol?]

[Thank you! ] Roux had raced into town, his hooves not slowing once until he reached the castle's ruins. After an hour of searching he had come to the conclusion that Jewel was no longer there. Leaving the ruins he wandered about town asking any he saw what had happened to the tan pegasus. Few knew who she was, and those that did had no idea what had become of her. It took a great deal for the stallion to convince himself that she was fine. Someone must have taken her home with them. He just had no idea who, or where they were. Blood shot eyes focused on the dirt path before him as he once again made his way back to his boat. Stepping aboard his legs all but gave way beneath him as the boat gently rocked back and forth. Steadying himself he made his way inside to the bed in the corner of the cabin. Collapsing, he was asleep before his head even hit the pillow. Roux would have slept outside any other time. Right than he wanted nothing more than to be left alone, to sleep. Tomorrow he would look for Jewel again.
