@deathbarer quote sc.

[dracochrysalis]

“ how can you bear it? ” is there any other more pressing question to ask? she wonders. is there anything else to be gained from their meeting besides a mediation on the dead and dying? “ death, that is. ”

the cosmos expands overhead, masser and secunda hanging low in the atmosphere. on this cool, dark night, illuminated by the many stars poking holes in the sky, the veil is thin. fehn can feel it. she cannot remember if she is dreaming. she supposes it doesn’t matter.

“ forgive me, i do not mean to overstep, but— … the lives that i have taken by my own hands, the deaths that i have seen … ” she glances away briefly. she thinks of daggers through the heart. she thinks of blood spewing in long arcs. her mind wanders towards visions of all-consuming, divine dragonfire. “ they weigh so heavily on me … to witness death on such a cosmic scale, to have it embedded in your very being …” gently, she shakes her head. “ i cannot begin to imagine. ” / @deathbarer, sc.
