[ bullet ] sender takes a bullet for receiver - @veiled-lady
throned with an aspect’s lineage & the stellar might of beings beyond that his mind at a point could not once ever conjure the comprehension to a logical sense or physical matter ; he wouldn’t have ever deliberate the idea of another host protecting another . what taric thought was resilience from his own laudable ability to climb mount targon & his accrued strengths as given to him by the protector , felt like a broken record to him now ; it shattered almost instantaneously . while taric knew at heart his body was beyond a stage of mortal weakness , tailored to that of aging & succumbing to flesh wounds .
〝 the judicator , you protect an oathbreaker ? 〞 it felt like venom was being spilt from his mouth uttering the name : ‘ oathbreaker ‘ . a kin name he had hoped to forget . a name given to him by his own countrymen . while the aspect was resilient in ways that secured the necessities of protecting what he so cherished , he , taric luminshield , was not immune to human disparity . the guilt clung to him as his body trudged into the open fields of demacian territory .
his magic twinged with exhaustion , & he knew it was the petricite that this city so preciously cultivated , a city that was so proud of lofty ideals & tradition , would discourage the very idea of magic . taric no longer followed or bent knee to one declared king , a responsibility he wouldn’t have dreamt of ever shirking in his youth . news came fast about the king’s death , in which , taric decided it was time to travel the way men do .
taric blinks the blur from his eyes , seemingly hypnotized by his agitation & evident distress . he could only make out an appendage of dark feathers gilded before him , stitched to the follicles of her grand decorum of wings chained down . wings that she ignores given to her by the aspect of justice & forsakes it .
〝 why do you keep me from reaching the inevitable ? i am an oathbreaker , & it’s something i will never take from the soldiers slain because of my mistakes . 〞
it felt like child’s play , being shielded by prejudice hate against those who bear a semblance of power , lest a soldier of exile . & yet morgana , the judicator of morality , would yield him sympathy in spite of his history . the enemies taric may still bear within the walls . 〝 you mustn’t taint your own name because of me . protecting another aspect host … that would be the folly you fall on , the tip of the spear - 〞
