It was weird watching her, watching the fire pull across her face when there had been nothing but tears there a second ago. It was eerie; it was borderline wrong. A face that was once surgically clean of emotion, almost devoid of it, like she had pushed the whole messy business of actually being mortal away from a gifted, perfect existence as half of a god—was now smeared by all of its extremes until it was smudged into something totally unrecognizable. I remember how I hated the holier-than-thou attitude she had (seen, of course, because it was something I fully expected to see--) but now that I was getting my wish for her to come down a few notches I didn’t know how to take it. There was nothing to celebrate about someone being brought so low.

Volterra. The name tore out of her like hot grease begging for a match and I heard the unmistakable buzz of villain underlying the name. I didn’t know who that was—I doubt I woulda cared either under  other circumstances—but at that moment there was no doubt in my mind that this would be an entity I was born to fight, something to crush before it unraveled the fabric of all I held dear. I dipped down and picked up Sparkmarrow, clapping the blade against the metal of the sheath (zzzzzmph) where the blades coiled like a sharp, obedient serpent, the arcs of energy stifled by the sheath’s magic.

“What’d he do?” I asked, but my low voice was ready for battle anyways. I was already imagining the kind of atrocities he could’ve committed that were bold enough, bad enough to shatter the apathetic mask of the Earth demi; did he murder a baby? Enslave hundreds? Gather a group of assholes to pillage and plunder and whatever? I rolled my shoulders and a few things krkkrack!ed as I prepared my body for another battle cuz fuck it I guess that’s what I really wanted to do that morning.







talk

Like stars burning holes right through the dark
Flicking fire like saltwater into my eyes
