HOLLOW DIVINITY | writeblr a-z challenge
→ builotini | former royal family of jayni, massacred ten years ago and assumed dead
“amarisa remembered the day she had become the last of a great legacy. she remembered her mother choking on poison, her father with a sword through his chest. the king and queen reduced to blood on a marble floor and four terrified daughters.
her older sisters pushing her behind them as though they could stop the onslaught, stop the approaching army and the torn down gates as their distant relatives stormed the throne room. the Builotini wolves in the surrounding forest had been howling in grief, sounding so akin to a human scream amarisa still heard it on the winds, like the echoes of mourning were being sent through the dark.
hollow eyes of a man desperate for power, which wins? dead old gods or raw desperation and a knife?
lifting her dead baby sister off of the steps, barking out a cry for help. she remembered realising nobody was coming.
amarisa knew the moment she became part grave. which is to say a place where the dead can reside. amarisa knew the moment she became part god. which is to say vengeful and unending.”
