Marius - path of torns - just some comments

WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT PATH OF THORNS!!!

Actually, I want to mention 2 moments (but there were several other scenes I loved, it's just that I'm avoiding writing an essay here lol)

Btw, I do not recommend you to read path of thorns if torture and violence may trigger you.

But if you like cold/bossy/dom marius, this card is for you ahahah. Especially if you like that secretary x boss dynamic. If you guys couldn't get him, I hope you can get another chance soon.

So, in the first CG, we see Marius pushing rosa down on his office table. Dude, it was such a stressful moment for rosa. I thought he was going to fire her or maybe sth worse. But due to the CG and the scene description, at the same time, it was so fucking sexy. Marius was not flirting with her imo, even tho, because it's marius, he unintentionally has this aura that emanates sensuality. I'm sorry, I had to say it lmaoo

And then we got the other one, when they were torturing marius.

Bruh, I cried. I've never seen marius suffering that much. I deadass thought he was going to die at that moment. I appreciate the angst tho. I know, I'm crazy.

seriously, I wish I could write as good as whoever wrote this card story. It's insanely good.

Also, when he was being tortured, sth that really caught my attention was marius' eyes. When he was in pain, for a moment I thought he had died because his eyes looked so dead, as if they had lost their natural sparkle.

Probably the most agonizing marius card I've read. Although he already suffered in other cards too.

Liliana and Obsidian stood in front of each other in the green grass, surrounded by flowers and greenery. Earlier in the morning, she invited her homeland companions for daily training to keep them all busy. Thus now they were breathing a little bit faster after trading consecutive blows under the soft morning sun.

They were not really sparing yet. More so measuring each other's methods and strengths by going through some traditional military forms and drills. Both held a combination of sword and shield in hands. Obsidian's was flaming red like moldem stone. Liliana's were a replica of the divine instruments of Schutzaria and Ewigeliebe made out of ice. When they exchanged blows, the weapons would hiss and smoke against each other violently.

However, it took one well landed attack from Liliana to catch Obsidian by surprise and make him return with twice the force. The drill quickly escalated on a full out sparring, both of them rushing through the grass as forces of nature. Fire and ice raged as if Ewigeliebe and Leidenschaft were battling for Gedulh, sparks and snowflakes littering the air with each traded blow.

And like the God of Life himself, Liliana was destined to lose, if only for a short while. Obsidian's attacks were brutal and destructive and, even if all her own blows were to hit him true, it would barely dent his unending stamina. She surrendered while she could still stand with some resemblance of grace, even if flustered by the battle glow, and washed herself with the blessing of Flutrane.

Gods bless the years of carefully pinning her hair to her skull to the point of numbness. Not a single hair was out of place.

"Thank you for sparing with me, Sir Obsidian. May I offer you the blessings of the healing waters of Flutrane?" Her smile was measured and polite. A perfect noble.

Honestly, even far away from home, she didn't know how to be anything else.
