"A mediocre one, but you don't have to be good to follow this beast." She laughs at her self-deprecation. It is no lie ; Asta has not dedicated much of her talent to the art. Stealth is required and stealth she can do, but patience, she has very little. To that, she darts ahead with her sword drawn, too late to be of any help to those already dead or dying.

Her boots splash over blood and she ignores the sound of it and whatever else crunches underneath the tread. "This one doesn't hide. I do not think tracking will be an issue." One of the bodies has a sack of gold tied to his belt. Asta grabs it for her own pockets. She looks over his blade and decides to leave it and any other weaponry found. Nothing of great quality here and she can easily get better at the eagle-headed forge in Whiterun. "The path leads this way and curves to the left. It's gone quiet for now." The volume of her voice is low, too, in order to not draw attention.

"Hircine won't let him live. Up ahead is a shrine to Talos. The Thalmor haven't found it so it has been left alone, saved by one of the Blades back in their day. I cannot say I have much love for the elves. Have you fought them at all? Formidable opponents."

[ofspvrta]

"No, I suppose not." The beast or beasts were sloppy, leaving such blood and gore behind to be easily followed by any eager hunter. Eager, and perhaps stupid. She knows she can handle it, it's not an issue for her. But Asta? She's only met her, she doesn't know what she's capable of, yet, and she's worried she'll find out in the worst possible way.

Kassandra easily keeps up, despite her size, she is swift and nimble on her feet, she was lucky to be graced with both strength and dexterity. "Which makes me wonder if this one is running on pure instinct or not." Instinct is a powerful thing, it can override any sense of self when all it wants, all it longs for is survival and the kill. Kassandra leaves the smaller pickings to Asta, the reward is all the gold she'll need for weapons maintenance once the job is done. "Either that's a good thing, or a very bad thing. It could go either way." Silence, she's found, is not always a blessing.

Kassandra nods as she moves to crouch beside Asta. "I have, quite skilled. I admire their combat prowess, but I don't really involve myself in their affairs if I don't have to. The fact that they've kept this shrine hidden is impressive."

as if that laugh emily had given the first time kassandra had ever given her sailing lessons wasn't a little childish and ultimately carefree. now it's just the balance of personal morality and personal freedom. there is no law between them, some people meet an untimely end just because neither of them like templars, cultists, anything devout void or isu. IT'S FOR THE GREATER GOOD ACTUALLY . and then they get to go home to a boat that's only slightly cramped to laugh at the goofiest things.

holiness and godliness should be nothing but the worship of love so great that it resembles divinity. THAT IS ALWAYS WHAT EMILY MEANS WHEN SHE CALLS KASSANDRA A GOD . emily's divinity. with an exception of the first time she had ever said it, which was just emily realizing that kassandra wasn't a witch, wasn't a marked, and was something that made those power sets dull in comparison. emily's power had also only grown since then.

it's also entirely evident the way emily's face lights up when kassandra corrects her. that hadn't been something official, it just makes her personally happy. emily prefers to respect kassandra's independence, though she supposes that has pleasantly blurred for quite awhile now. EMILY'S DARK EYES FLUTTER THOUGH . as if kassandra's simple touch is eons more relaxing than anything that could possibly exist. emily shifts to rest on kassandra, head resting on kassandra's shoulder, a small hiss of pain as she remembers what's healing, but then she simply adjusts and continues to use kassandra exactly like the woman is her favorite pillow. MORE THAN LIKELY BECAUSE KASSANDRA IS .

" you are exactly the wife i have always wanted. do you realize how many childhood wishes i never had that you made come true? "

[ofspvrta]

It's just the two of them against the world sometimes, only the world doesn't know they exist. They can move about as they please, sail where they want, explore as they desire. Only truly stopping to take in the beauty of the world around them, or stop a cultist or three. There was always going to be trouble afoot and therefore always going to be a need for people like them. But it's the moments of quiet, when they aren't needed to stop something brewing that she loves the most. Just the two of them, an immortal bird, and a little stowaway cat.

Now that is a kind of divinity Kassandra can get behind. Emily would have loved the way Aphrodite was regarded, though maybe not all the stories that surrounded her, she was, like many other gods, complicated. She never really knew what the Isu of that name was like. Sometimes she's grateful to be ignorant to all of their real natures. There was still a sting to her little friendship break up with Hermes in the simulation. But Emily had intrigued her from the start, even if she was weary at first. That seems so distant now.

Maybe not official in documents or legalities, but in heart and spirit. Besides, it would make much more sense to introduce herself as Kassandra Kaldwin, seeing as Agiad is the closest thing she would have had to a surname, and that was just her family's dynasty. Kassandra Kaldwin has a nice ring to it anyway. Emily decides to make herself a blanket on top of the ancient misthios, something Kassandra doesn't mind at all, only propping her head up in concern when she hears Emily's hiss of pain. "Are you okay?" She saw the injury, of course she's not fully okay, but she would heal. She always does.

"You've told me a few, I made a fine sailor out of you. But what other wishes have I granted?" Her voice is light, the curiosity obvious in her tone.

𝙳𝙸𝙰𝙽𝙰 𝙾𝙵 𝚃𝙷𝙴𝙼𝚈𝚂𝙲𝙸𝚁𝙰 › themyscira, 2020 .

the isu spent a lot of time keeping them apart too. albeit, subtly, and it wasn't particularly hard especially with their prophetic lives. IT'S JUST ALWAYS A DAWNING REALIZATION THAT KASSANDRA AND DIANA COULD HAVE MET LATER . the fact that diana made appearances frequently in londing, mostly under cover, but she was there. WWII WAS WHERE SHE FOUGHT MORE PROMINENTLY AS WONDER WOMAN . it's usually hard to understand which side may be good in war because war is inherently evil. THE NAZIS ARE ALWAYS A DEPRAVED STAIN ON HUMANITY . the fight is against everything they are wholly.

themyscira, without truly ever thinking about, is greece's culture. THE BEAUTIFUL THINGS ABOUT IT . without the corruption and ever changing government leadership just because someone made reasons to be in power. HIPPOLYTA WAS REVERED AND TRUSTED . just as nubia is currently revered and trusted. the communal and advanced structure is so unheard of elsewhere that themyscira is commonly a utopia for that very reason. there is a shared pool and everyone just helps everyone else. YOU THINK THAT WOULD BE AN EASY CONCEPT TO UNDERSTAND .

it's actually pleasantly ironic. DIANA LEARNS SO MUCH ABOUT HUMANITY FROM KASSANDRA . kassandra, the keeper. KASSANDRA LEARNS SO MUCH ABOUT ANCIENT ISU FROM DIANA . diana, the wonder woman. diana's hand shifts from the sand, resting more so on her forearm with the other arm. she actually shakes away some sand on her fingers too before brushing a thumb over the little wetness on kassandra's upper cheek. THE BACKS OF DIANA'S FINGERS JUST STAY ON KASSANDRA'S CHEEK . blue eyes shifting back to brown eyes.

"i'll have to keep earning your forgiveness every day then." diana's heavily accented voice is even a little lazy. THERE'S THOSE SAME EYES . the way they dance over kassandra's features in a lethargic admiration. always lingering freely on lips when they weren't lingering on eyes. "kassandra ..." a simple pause, blue eyes only glancing into the sand momentarily with a distant recollection of a memory flashing across blue eyes.

"did i save as many lives as possible?"

including KASSANDRA OF SPARTA, @ofspvrta .

[ofspvrta]

The fact that they were in London roughly around the same time (roughly being a relative term when both women were far beyond mortal years), just during different World Wars. Kassandra had been there with Evie, helping Lydia out behind the scenes where she would be much less likely to be recognized by anyone who had known her from the last time she was there. The second World War had kept her busy protecting the artifacts from hands that absolutely should never be allowed near them.

If only Ancient Greece had been what Themyscira is. All of the beauty and none of the corruption. Not like Kassandra never had a hand in turning the tides of the governing bodies, watching them pass hands time and time again in a game to keep one step ahead of the cult. This felt like being able to enjoy her home without all the things she happily left behind. Especially enjoying it with someone she loves so dearly.

In some ways, Kassandra finds it funny that anyone could learn about humanity from her at all. There were so many times in her past where she felt utterly removed from it. Persona non grata, a non-entity, a nameless thing that wandered the earth carrying out her duty. But Diana makes her feel human every time she says her name, or holds her hand, or brushes those fingers across her face and wipes at her tears. It's the little things that remind her who she is, that she was always human to some degree.

"I'm sure you will have an easy time with that," Kassandra replies back in a soft tone. Her natural accent comes out so easily when she speaks her native tongue. Kassandra can't help but follow Diana's eye movement, just to know what she's looking at, looking for. "Diana," she interjects, waiting for whatever the Wonder Woman has to say. It already feels like it's going to be heavy, and she's right.

"You did. You saved so many lives. The people revered you as the hero you are for what you did."

Happy Lesbians Day to all 💖

[ofvoidx]

your childhood disappears when you have to do things like save your little brother from impending doom or work alongside your best friend / bodyguard to stop a group of violent inciters from throwing grenades and attacking you. THE UNFORTUNATE THING IS— YOU NEVER HAVE A CHANCE OF GETTING THAT BACK . a person will only be a carefree child once, playing in a sandbox. THAT CAN NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN— THOUGH IT MAY SEEM LIKE IT CAN COME CLOSE . carefree adventures.

they have their duty that they attend to that give them even more purpose outside of themselves. THE GOOD PEOPLE ALWAYS WANT TO DO MORE GOOD , JUST THE SAME . everything about the void revolves around heresy, the lack of being sanctimonious. IT IS USUALLY SUCH A TRUE NEUTRAL THAT OTHERS CHOOSE EVIL OR GOOD . and the power that comes with that is never simple or meritorious. IT IS JUST POWER .

darkness does not mean evil. NOT ALL SHADOW CREATURES ARE YOUR ENEMIES . and not all those standing in the sunlight with ceremonious smiles and halos are your friends. maybe those men in power that tried to strip emily of her throne and dignity taught her what her privilege means. EVERYTHING THEY DID BACKFIRED . they merely only taught a powerful god how to be humble and generous even more than she already had been. KASSANDRA DESERVES THE ONE GOD THAT KNOWS EXACTLY THAT . a daughter of the void that cradles lives in the darkness.

the moonlight may be getting into position to give up the sky to the sunlight, but the way emily's dark eyes glisten in the moonlight is still one of the most hauntingly beautiful things this earth can captivate an individual with. EMILY'S HAND EVEN PAUSES MOMENTARILY WHEN KASSANDRA FLINCHES . the backs of fingers following behind the dripping water to gently rid kassandra of dirt, gore, and the colder water. IT IS NEVER OBVIOUS WHERE EMILY IS LOOKING EXACTLY . a guess, merely. yet somehow physically it's obvious her fingers are becoming a background distraction and emily's more focused on kassandra's mouth and the words lovingly falling from them. @ofspvrta

one of emily's hands shifts, fingers wrapping gently around kassandra's wrist. HER OTHER HAND SCOOPS UP WATER . watching as water trickles down kassandra's long and calloused fingers. NOT EVEN THAT THE WATER WAS ACCOMPANIED WITH MORE DIRT AND BLOOD . just the water. especially washing over that ring. look at emily smile so much wider. she is so inherently in love with actually being married to the love of her life. SHE HAD ALWAYS WANTED A WIFE . a pleasant distraction.

"i love you too, kassandra of sparta." the words so breathless, like she was so was always so breathlessly excited to say that. SOMETIMES , OF COURSE , INTERMINGLED WITH USING HER LAST NAME AS KASSANDRA'S . "both parts of me loved you, one with the fiery passion that wasn't particularly positive. the other with a distinct emotionless facade that could almost be interepreted as the lack of love. do you think that's too cliche to say?"

[ofspvrta]

They may never have that second chance at a childhood, but they have their entire futures ahead of them. And for once, those futures aren't filled with dread and uncertainty. They are living for their child selves who didn't get to enjoy the life they were given, who were forced to grow up at far too young. Who saw violence from such a young age. They will live the life they wish to live, see what they want to see, no borders, no rules could keep them back. Why would it? Who was going to stop them?

They were good people, yes, but they were powerful people. Borne of ancient and powerful things, carrying the blood of things the world could never understand. And in that power is the love they have for each other, there is no greater force than that. It unites them, bonds them, strengthens them.

Emily may have called Kassandra a god once, but of the two of them, Emily was closer to that title than Kassandra has ever been. The Keeper is more of a demigod who had fallen for the same temptations that mortal men had, but at least she knows that Emily is the one god that would never abandon her. No matter what.

Those two shining black eyes that softly look over Kassandra are as beautiful as a moonless night, littered with little shimmers of stars that contain eons of history. She hadn't meant to flinch, she really hadn't, but even as she lays in the cold creek water, feeling it fresh on her face was a slight shock, but one that had quickly melted back into comfort. They have done this so many times before, cleaning each other up after a conflict got messy. And she loves the tenderness of it every time. They could be as equally gentle as they are loving.

Much as she wants to close her eyes and fully melt into Emily, her eyes stay open, she wants to see her, her beautiful face. "Kassandra Kaldwin," she gently corrects, though she doesn't truly mind either name. Her hand reaches up to caress Emily's cheek. "Aγαπη μου, it doesn't matter if it's cliche if it comes from you. I know you have always loved me with every part of you, just as I have loved you. Fully and completely."
