Challenges 032: With a Bang
Cassiel is tired of playing games.
They have played so many in these past months. All intended to keep others satisfied, to present in certain ways to achieve the right goal, to match expectations or change perceptions. Cassiel is a knight--by definition, a knight on someone else’s chessboard.
In the plainest of outfits, Cassiel refuses to play any more games: not those of gender nor affiliation, likewise fashion and opulence. They did their best with the requirements of the past events, but this is the end of their last resorts and the Horsemen have little control over them here. The smell of salt clings to their hair and their plain features render them nearly invisible with stars like Elijah and Grace so near. Black on white reflects so mundanely compared with Isaiah’s bright threads. Just as they intend; just as they prefer.
