Thursday WIP (or whatever)
I've been tagged by @bladesingerlily and @cinder-rellish181 Thanks darlings!!! :3
Still trying to put together something decent for my long postponed (and beloathed) "Night Blooming Jasmine"
"I told you once you reminded me of bright lightning shattering the night sky, a fierce spark in the darkness, a roaring thunderstorm leaving behind only the crisp scent of ozone. You smiled and replied I wasn't much different, because old tales often spoke about Gods manifesting their will and power through storms and lightning.
You evoked the image of a hurricane to describe me instead, a formidable force of nature, a godlike herald of unearthly destruction and glorious divine wrath.
I loved how you described us when you talked about power, ambition and purpose. I held that imagery dear every time circumstances forced us apart for a while, be it a few hours or, worse, a whole week. It kept me company, made me feel powerful, it warmed my death cold heart and made my hand steadier on the blade.
But I asked you once, what happens when two raging storms get too close to one another?
I can still distinctly hear your warm voice and those enticing words echoing "They become immensely more powerful together, but their paths are forever changed".
Alluring words, blasphemous and tempting, holding both passion and undying devotion.
Did we truly not realize back then, how dangerous it could be for people like us to gravitate closer and closer towards each other, to affect and shape each other like dancing storms, until the only possible outcome would be to merge, destroy everything and end up being destroyed in return?
So I dared to ask "What will become of us, then?"
But once again you were quick to dismiss that disturbing thought, with another of your bright easy smiles and a kiss.
And yet my fears persisted. That dread kept deepening, almost choking me.
It feels painfully clear now.
The world will keep spinning around. Another day will come and we'll be just like another of those night storms. We'll disappear, and the clear morning sky will hold no trace of our fury. Everyone will rejoice because the strong winds carried us away, and we'll only keep living through whispered stories filled with holy dread, like vanishing memories.
And I, myself, am utterly filled with dread at the thought.
Because such is the fate of colliding storms, no matter how fierce and devastating. Nothing remains of them after the dust settles."
The bloodstained letter fell from her hands.
Most people seem to have been tagged already, so I have no idea if anyone could be interested in sharing something.
Anyway, gently tagging (no pressure!) @asorceresswrites @newtia @arlynx @afilmnoirdetective @ghost-of-a-dream-girl and any beloved moot who has something to share.
Honorary tag for @cinder-rellish181 and @bladesingerlily <3
