padded feet traipsed the lengthy earth of etheria , soles torn & bloody , shredded from the very gravel which held her weight — everything appeared against her .
the degradation that burrowed within twisted veins had spread beyond the influence of portal , prompting glances of unease towards the feline . detachment from her thoughts & surrounding wouldn’t allow mind to linger on the opinionated glares of simple strangers — one motive , one motive alone , drove her dull pace . a̴͖͘d̷̺̘̓ȏ̶͔͐r̴̺͍̍̅ă̵̟̥̅ . did the need for revenge still weigh heavy on her heart ? or was forgiveness her aim ?
how long had decaying husk carried her before violet & rose bled into her vision , the magnificent expanse of brightmoon flooded her senses — the cushioned grass a relief to aching feet .
the ex - horde soldier wasn’t welcome , she knew that long before adora’s defection , but it was different this time — every virtuous being littering the landscape seemed to glare at the girl with newfound ire , ready to pounce & rive flesh from bone . she continued to walk . further & further still .
once more , the earth changed , from lush grass to cool marble ; footfalls leaving crimson to linger `pon polished stretch . knees buckled as form drew closer to the guards readying themselves outside palace doors , soon to give way & collapse beneath her own weight . both corrupted & untouched claws hollowed out the pearl beneath padded palms , one last glance , one last word ❝ a̴͖͘d̷̺̘̓ȏ̶͔͐r̴̺͍̍̅ă̵̟̥̅ . ❞ a mutter , a plea for help , before mind would finally succumb to the ink swelling around her vision .
