❛ Many that live deserve death. Some that die deserve life. ❜

men fight and KILL over the beauty of lovers. usurpers roam free in lands they stole from others. mad kings burn the innocent until their screams IGNITE in their chests. babes die before they grow old enough to think evil thoughts, just as their mothers die bringing them into the world. schemes and lies and secrets, horror and lust and power, greed, hunger, thirst, knowledge, whispers, violence: all RAMPANT in a world which places such stock in gods and their ultimate justice.
what justice was there, robbing a young girl of her loving MOTHER, sending assassins after nothing but the NAME she bears?
‘ you are too right, my darling. ‘
sadness SUFFUSES gemstone gaze; she thinks to those she has loved and lost, to those at whom she has directed her bloodsoaked anger and magic RAGE. centuries gone to history and none left to show for it save shiera, save her own memory of battles won and lost, a man with a red-stained face and one eye, a man with dark hair and darker jealousy, her love torn UNEQUALLY between them.
‘ but YOU are alive. you deserve to live. and one day you will see to it that more people who deserve life REMAIN amongst the living, and more people who deserve to die ROT in their tombs. ‘
