❝ not all diamonds receive our foresight when we are born. ❞ she is laying on the water's surface — weightless with diamond shaped pupils gazing at the twinkling starlight — the hushed sound of her voice gently forms ripples of water around her body. ❝  it comes to us when we are ready — & when we aren't.  ❞ when a diamond is born, it's for a reason. they burst out of the ground — into phase of sentience — already knowing what they're supposed to be, and then — that's what they are. ❝ when I gained my foresight,  I saw my brother [...] then the things he would do & what he would eventually do to me. ❞ her thumb gently traces the cerulean diamond embedded into her chest, the haunting of a scar finds it's way back to her thoughts and somehow it feels too hollow to be so fresh in her head — under her skin.

❝  I felt so small when it happened — when my diamond cracked under the weight of his fist. ❞ themis closes her eyes, the way the water cradled her enormous body had relieved some the ache she felt. Relieved some of the anger she had thought long gone. An anger ( and perhaps some guilt ) she had thought healed over this half of a millennia. ❝  after that — I did what needed to be done.  ❞ and no one understood that better than Wanda.
