Self-Knowledge Questionnaire.

TENDERNESS You are not afraid of the sufferings and sorrows of other people, even when they are acted out in unappealing ways. Beneath even defensiveness and self-righteous behaviour, you know that deep down people need nurturing and consolation. One danger is being naïve about people’s dark sides. But at your best you know you can be mean yourself, which helps you to sympathize. You bring strength and forgiveness where other people might panic.

INDEPENDENCE You don’t set out to be different for its own sake; you are more easily guided by what interests and moves you. You are more concerned about what is right for you than about the pressure to fit in. In sex you are more aware than others of impulses which are not entirely conventional. You know the value of selective irresponsibility, of forgetting occasionally about being ‘good’.

EXHIBITIONISM There’s a strand in your nature which loves making an impression – perhaps with your clothes, or conversation, or in a self-revealing blog or a novel. You like to dramatise yourself, to pose as a unique, perhaps mysterious person, to joke or exaggerate your part in adventures. Though you might more than once have been called a show off, it is actually a generous tendency: you want to please and entertain others. It could be the start of good teaching and leadership.

PLAYFULNESS You are good at seeing what’s funny, at relaxing and finding the pleasure of the moment. Play is random, whimsical, fantasy-driven behaviour which releases internal tension. Because it is detached from some pressures it allows you to act on weirder, perhaps neglected, parts of yourself. The downside is that it is no help in sticking with things that are not much fun but which need to be addressed. So it is well complemented by its opposite, Stoicism.

A FURNACE IN HIS HEART AND FIRE IN HIS VEINS .   he remembers the spark ,   the heat ,   the raging storm melting his bones ,   flames licking up his body slowly ,   slowly ,   and then suddenly TOO FAST .   ALL CONSUMING .   fever pitch ,   so hot he wasn’t even sweating .   so hot ,   he couldn’t even breathe .   it was him ,   and the inferno in his veins ,   and the single thought of HURRYHURRYHURRY as yellow - pink - red bled over the horizon .   fever hot ,   even as he sat on the rubble of a destroyed city .   incandescence pumped with each heartbeat ,   marking his body in a constellation of light .   bright blood red like tree branches over ashen skin ,   all over his arm ,   all over his neck ,   crawling across his face————     he burns ,   unable to feel the warmth of daybreak .

dawn whispers softly ,   a caress ,   some reassurance .   relief leaves him EXHAUSTED .   you did well ,   dawn would say .   or maybe you did enough .   he can REST NOW .   just close his eyes and slip away .   he’ll see his friends again     ——————     crowe ,   and pelna ,   and selena .     (     he hopes he won’t see libertus .   not yet ,   not yet     )     but his sister     ..    he’ll see her ,   her smiling face ,   arms open to welcome him into the afterlife because isn’t that what he DESERVES   ?  he allows a moment of weakness ,   a SELFISH WISH .   nyx ulric bled for years ,   fighting a war ,   protecting a city that never truly felt HIS ,   always fighting for the homeland his heart ached to return to .   died for a FUTURE ,   for HOPE .   doesn’t he deserve peace now   ?

he remembers dying .

he remembers burning .

but he WAKES UP COLD ,   ice in his veins ,   shaking like a leaf caught in a strong gale .   sluggish thoughts ,   each exhaled breath turning WHITE .   somewhere————     he doesn’t know .   NOT INSOMNIA .   there is no ruin ,   no destruction ,   no smoke ,   no damnation around him .   white ,   pearly sand and iced water and his heart stuttering an irregular beat .   fuck ,   it feels like death again .   death crawling down his throat ,   a tight vice around his erratic heart .   in the distance ,   a blur .   he blinks away water————     water   ?     (    seriously ,   where the fuck is he   ?    )     and the blur takes shape the closer it gets .   curves ,   cloth like mist ,   a strange aura he can’t describe .

the astrals were never kind .   galahd didn’t fall to her knees to praise them ,   but even he wasn’t naive enough to brush them off as imaginary .   not when he’d seen what the lucian kings were capable of ,   what TERRIBLE MAGIC they’d been blessed with .   what SACRIFICES the gods demanded of men .     ❛     ————     lady s - shiva   ?   ❜     chattering teeth ,   lips tinted blue .   how .   his knowledge of astrals is poor ,   at best ,   and practically nonexistent at worst .   but the closer she gets ,   the more he thinks of her ,   of the paintings he’d seen around the citadel .   an ethereal vision of pale blues and bright white .   beautiful but untouchable . / elsa

STARTER .   ——   ​

THE STORM PICKS UP IN A BAD WAY ,   FROM A LIGHT DRIZZLE TO A HEAVY DOWNPOUR .  makes it harder to see .   the temperature drops by a handful of degrees   ;   even with the coat and the hood up ,   the chill sets in .   he follows the SHADOW AHEAD of him ,   keeping close to her ,   guarding her back .   two glaive team ,   recon only .   rumors of an outpost had reached the crown city and the captain had demanded PROOF before sending in a PROPER FORCE to deal with the problem .   cassandra was always a good choice———     smart and quick thinking during combat ,   stealthy when she wanted to be ,   and with an adept hold on the king’s magic .   she might’ve been why nyx had been more than happy to be chosen for the assignment .   it was far from a ROMANTIC GETAWAY ,   and both took their job very seriously ,   but there were few people he trusted as much as her ,   when it came to the type of task that could flip on its back at ANY SECOND .

when she stops ,   he catches up ,   closing the small gap between them .   they’d been using the cover of the trees to move undetected but so far he hadn’t noticed anything PARTICULARLY UNUSUAL .     ❛   maybe we should split up ,   ❜     more GROUND TO COVER if they went in different directions .   the cacophony around them ,   heavy raindrops against leafs and the ground ,   made it hard to discern any other sound that might’ve been out of place————     no mechanical hums ,   no machines patrolling the area .     he shakes his head lightly ,   drops of water shaking loose .   it makes no damn difference ,   not when they were both soaked to the bone .     ❛   what do you think   ?   ❜ / cass
