' I bare my heart for you, and you still remain dissuaded. What kind of heartless beast have you become, Sejuani? What must I do to change your mind?'
* ❅ — HELLO // unprompted
Shoulders square, chin up and nose flared in fury, Sejuani all but scoffs at the question. A beast. Many call her such, none ever understood why she must become one and neither shall Ashe. This, Sejuani has come to accept and yet she could not deny still the slight ache in her chest. Perhaps a part of her believed Ashe would be different after all. Perhaps —– perhaps a part of her wished that Ashe would understand, and to see that she did not… OH how it leaves a pesky itch within her chest. An itch that only continued to spread the longer she stared into those piercing blue eyes locked unto her own.
“ There is nothing to be done. ”
A sigh mixes with her words. To hide, maybe, the slow burning pain within her own heart for now she could finally see that they will never meet eye to eye. Sejuani had to become a beast for her tribe. To bring back the once proud and now dying customs of Freljord and Ashe shall never understand this. After all, so lost is she now in her wish to bring newer days unto Freljord’s land that she would even stoop so low as to offer her hand for the sake of unification. Why must Ashe resign herself into marriage? Sejuani could all but grind her teeth in anger. She could have taken lands by FORCE and POWER, not by something so foolish as a political marriage. Was WAR not the way of Freljord?
The warmonger took a deep breath in, steeling herself as she prayed for the ache in her heart to disappear.
“ If I am a beast —– a MONSTER, then so be it. I will see to it that my vision be made true —– with or without you by my side, Ashe, our love be damned. ”
