“the only solution was to stand and fight.”
MEME. ACCEPTING. @OCTEIVA.
❛ maybe so, for a warrior. you are more than that now. ❜ she who delivered them all from the ashes of a world asunder and burning, salvation of the human race. octavia had to shed all notion of being a teenage girl, or a wrathful warrior, or anything resembling weakness. to be like the commanders before her, emboldened by the win of the conclave and the robe of her forebears draped over her frame, octavia had taken the first step in dressing herself not only in the robes of the commander, but in the blood of her enemies. when she had stood there in front of that mirror with porcelain skin and strong features stained in it, image whole but heart broken, gaia had stood beside her. this was her purpose, to guide their leaders into who they were meant to become, to ensure the safety and survival of their people. she just wishes that the cost for her sister would not be so high. ❛ words can be just as deadly or convincing as a blade, when used correctly. people do not follow tyrants, octavia – they follow leaders. ❜ if the correct steps were taken, octavia’s word would be as strong as steel. unbreakable. and wonkru would follow her without question or dissent in their hearts. this, was the true solution.
