"This Is Our Third Hotel Room"

"The first exploded, the second caught fire." "I said I was sorry." Independent Zia Rashid from The Kane Chronicles.

"Everything hurts and I am dying." Zia mutters tossing another slightly burned tissue into the trash can. Apparently Jaz couldn't cure the flu but at least Zias hair wasn't on fire any more. "I thought people only got the flu when it was cold?"

“Oh yeah, that’s the best expression to use when trying to get sympathy from me.” Walt muttered, bringing her another box of tissues. “No, flu germs are year round, they’re just more common in fall because of the weather and people going back to school.”

“Just let me be dramatic, I set my bed in fire while sneezing this morning okay?.” Zia mutters, she would accept that she was being dramatic. “I don’t even go to school.” She did however spend a good deal of time with Shelby who had been awfully sniffly as of late. She sneezes again causing a wave of fire to pass over her, thankfully it doesn’t catch but the couch is smoldering. “I’m going to burn this place down before the sneezing stops.”

[thedeadlymaker]

“Eh. We’ve burned it down before. I’m more concerned about what it’s doing to you. All that extra energy being used to burn probably won’t help you get better any faster.”

[queenxfire-blog]

"I don't really want to burn it down." She mutters, but she's well aware that the flu is making her burn through her magic faster then usual. "It won't but it's not like antibiotic will do anything, it's a virus. Besides if I show up at a hospital with a 120 degree fever they'll start giving me ice baths." Zia jokes half heartedly.

I am not sad, he would repeat to himself over and over, I am not sad. As if he might one day convince himself. Or fool himself. Or convince others – The only thing worse than being sad is for others to know that you are sad.

❝ What are you doing here? ❞ ❝ You must go. Save yourself. Only you can resurrect me. ❞ ❝ By eating the sacred scarabs, I would be cursed to stay alive forever.

Sadie: You can’t handle hot food, you like cheese and you dress like a middle-aged man. Plus, you do that creepy, white-people half smile thing all the time and the weird half run-walk when crossing the street. Yet, somehow, as some stupid divine, cosmic joke probably, I was the one that came out white.

Carter: Wait, what’s wrong with liking cheese?

“ A cardigan. ” Bex mused, tossing a strange look over her shoulder “ It’s called a cardigan. ”

“Right a cardigan, thank you.” Zia says, blushing slight. Forgetting English words didn’t happen all the time but she always got embarrassed when it did “Have you seen one? I could’ve sworn I left it here, it was small and pink? It’s my sisters.”

((You know what really fucking sucks. Not being able to tell when people find you annoying. I would 100% rather be told to fuck off then be led on because it’s ‘polite’. I already play this guessing game with the rest of the world it would be really nice not to have to play it with my friends))

@litladiesnetwork‘s third event: fictional woc in literature

zia rashid, the kane chronicles

But when the golden light faded, Zia was still there. Around her burned a massive shield shaped like…like a scarab shell. Her eyes glowed with orange fire. Flames swirled around her. She looked at the bull and spoke a deep rasping voice that definitely wasn’t hers: “I am Khepri, the rising sun. I will not be denied.“
