for there are many ways to kill a man they say

There are logical reasons to do things, and then there are catalysts. And for the record, Wessex isn’t the kind to just go into a rage like this, but godfuckingdamnit, those tears in Tiamat’s eyes just makes her lose her shit.

How dare the God of Time make her cry. How DARE he.

All action and plans a moment ago, Wessex stands dumbly at the arrival of their Lady (is she, now? There is nothing tough about her, and this is a time for mental and physical fortitude), watching as she moves out of necessity, and without much purpose. She hears the cracks in Tia’s voice, the tears that wet her cheek, and remember the last time she’d seen the woman like this. Only last time, Wessex was able to save her. This time, she isn’t so sure – because what can she possibly do, in the face of an absent God? It sets something afire in the horned woman, something far more volcanic than the initial calmness. Everything quickly ignites while her nostrils flare and jaw clenches and Aside from Weaver’s assertion that they are bigger and badder than a single (or better yet, four) God, there is silence in the devastated woman’s wake.

The smoke is practically curling out of her nose as she turns and heads back into the cave without a word to the rest of them. They might be able to see her, they might not be able to, but quite frankly she doesn’t care. The sounds of her hooves fade, there is silence, and then the sound of a violent crash and glass falling to the stone floor. It’s all terribly dramatic and out of place for Wessex, even more so as a large shard comes skittering out towards the group, hopefully to stop in Tia’s vicinity. “Now he’s gone,” she says quietly, darkly. That seed of something which remained when Erebos first hit her with his magic seems to have taken root, and something in her delights in the rebellious, defiant, sacrilegious nature of her actions. “Abandonment is not something to cry over. Weaver is right.”

No one, neither God nor mortal, makes her Ocean Lady cry like that and gets away with it.

She'll keep a piece of the mirror as a reminder or memory, or what have you. But there's no going back now. "Shall we?" she asks the group. There is nothing left for them in that cave. Time to move on.
