@sacraementals : Did you know that I was spellbound? (Diana)
"I never lied to you, Diana." It comes, no longer in rivulets or whispers, but like a reflection distorted, loud, molten. Loitering at the edges of her vision, a kaleidoscopic chaos. It will pull her in, if she isn't careful. Carve its way through until she is hollow, until she is gaping. Until there is nothing left.Â
( She wanted it then. And it ruined her. But she wants it even now. )
"The first time we met, I wanted to open you and look inside. But your magic was hidden. Held back. I told you that, didn't I?" She pulls at unseen strings, one by one, until there are only knots. And tugs, in an attempt to bring Diana with it.Â
"I never lied to you. And I will never lie to you, Diana. Can you say the same for him?"
