Poetics of Makkari pt.1: My Hades
My dearest Hades how the world hates you so
🌹
They curse your name despite your efforts
They scorn your earth despite your pleas
Tuned villain when all you wanted was peace
My dearest hades I see what they cannot see
🌹
My dearest Hades how misunderstood you are
🌹
Your soft silent touches mistaken for harsh grips and sharpened teeth
My love mistaken for delusion and naïve red herrings
Your bright intentions mistaken for selfish greed and a numbing heart
I am sorry I couldn’t say more
🌹
My dearest hades don’t turn away
🌹
I won’t cry as you return to the world below
Only kiss the ground in hopes you feel my silent call
Only stand alone knowing you’ll return
Even if you forever reject me, know I will one day reach the other side
(I was thinking of adding commentary at the end just to explain some things but I feel like this one is fairly obvious, I still might in the future, show some love <3)
Poetics of Makkari pt.4: Hands of Stone and Gold (A poem about Thena and Gilgamesh)
A hand to hold as the storm grows and destroys
She comes to ruin and rightfully so brings justice to dawn
Fluttering wings and sashes of gold and white concealing the woman behind
She reaches out only to discover there is nothing to find
But as she pulls away she feels a tug
A want, a want that lets her know someone is reaching back
Her head battles itself falling back and forth
She is suddenly pulled up again, head above water
He doesn’t let go knowing what he’ll lose
He looks down at her unused to the feeling
She has always been tall and high but no longer can
He sombers a smile as he holds her hand
One handed embrace turns to two
As they look at each other and decide to choose
To choose on another and to never part
Knowing very well they’ve captured their hearts
He lifts her high when she cannot stand
She shows him her softness, reserved with loss of demand
They vow themselves to each other unknowing the price
But willing to risk it for their oasis of life.

Welp, I think I’m a little late, but have my contribution to Mother’s Day!
Phestos in "The Sweetish Chill" please?
Nothing better than a little trip across the sky, right?
6. “What’s our exit strategy?” “Our what?” - Phestos and Sylv? XD
“What’s our exit strategy?” Sylv whispered, turning to Phes.
“Our what?”
The “hair-bleach powder” plan had been a success, the duo was just about to hide their tools and remaining bombs in some hidden room - obviously they’d do the trick again sometime.
Only to realize someone witnessed their prank, and now was right behind them.
“Ain’t gonna lie, seeing Aurel with grey hair had me laughing!”
Both young Gods slowly turned back to see Mikael with a huge grin and pointing the trident towards their hair-bleach powder bombs.
“Quite the great trick you two made. Depending on me, I’d just let you two go. Buuuut...”
He pointed at a part of the hill where Aurel had been earlier; the grass, the flowers, all of it dried and bleached out.
“What are we gonna do with that mess, hm? Can’t just leave an ugly patch in such a pretty hill.” Saying this, he grabbed two pairs of water buckets and mops, and gave them to the young Gods in front of him.
Sylv and Phes gulped.
“So the sooner we get it cleaned, the better, right? So off to work!”
He sat on top of a nearby wall to watch them; Sylv glared at Phes.
“What?”
“... Less powder next time.”
Sylv! Who're your best friends? :3
Oh yeah, I’ve a few! I think my first best friend (and first friend ever, I guess) is Phestos.
Sometimes I go with him to help in delivering letters, and… Yeah, we play pranks on other Gods during free time. One time we even came up with hiding some blossom-bells filled with “phantom powder” (you know, the hair-bleach powder that won’t wash away for half a year) in the grass. In other words, bleach powder bombs! We had a good laugh!
There’s also Lyra and Orph (Lucius and Lilium’s little twin siblings), they’re nice to hang out with. We go singing, painting, building snow forts, you name it!
Oh, and the other pair of siblings, Kiyoshi and Kasumi (they’re not actually related, but still treat each other as siblings). When we’re not organizing papers, scrolls and books, we explore the rest of the temples or play tag. One time Kiyoshi went and put ribbons on Kasumi’s hair to see how he’d look like with them, and I helped!
Hm, who else…? Wait wait, I think there’s one more! One of Cerys’s demon servants, Lykos. He’s a bit of a weird fellow, but is a nice company, and also gives some good advice when I’m in doubt ofx what to do.
I think that’s it. There’s that young Sun Goddess (I think her name’s Pandora), but I never really talked to her. Kinda wanted to know her better.
And… There’s another person. That yellow-haired girl with empty eyes.
There were days I saw her walk across our Realm all alone, away from everyone and even the animals. She isn’t a Goddess, and isn’t a Demon either. The older Gods call her “The Black Reaper”, an “anomaly” or something…I’ve no idea what that means, but honestly? I couldn’t care less. I want to befriend her someday, somehow.
