Imelda Elwyn :: D11

[/i]

I let out a huff and my arms droop to my sides. My eyes flutter open and I purse my lips. I am a daughter of the sky and nothing will ever prove otherwise. I'm still just weak, is all. But soon, soon once I wreck havoc upon the mere mortals around me, I will be whisked into the air to be one with the clouds.

I trace my fingers down the ivory flesh of arm as the thought runs through me. The thought of soft clouds wrapping me in their beauty and me swimming in the wide blue sky dances through my mind. Soon, this will all be mine.

My wide eyes go downward, and I watch over my sisters. Arletta drifts in her pond, the thing that is as precious to her as the sky is to me. Hester sits near the pond, blinking her eyes in a daze. Orianna is probably off climbing a tree somewhere; she is the only one who craves higher ground like me, but she is too weak to be of use to the sky.[/i]

Mable twirls around on the grass, and Ingrid stands under the shade of a tree, glaring and smirking at the water of the pond. Oh, my dear sisters, so mere and pitiful. Each are beautiful, but it is I, the Queen of the Skies, who gained the highest beauty.

One from the sky,
One from the highest trees,
One from under the waves,
One from the darkest abyss,
One from the open sea, lost in her own way,
&
One from the garden of life[/color]

So, as you see, the one born from the sky has to be the fairest. Waves of brown hair like a sparrow's feathers that cascade down her shoulders. A sharp face carved by the cherubs that greets her victims subjects. Eyes with the color of the sky poured into them flutter innocently at the mere mortals, and a body as tall and graceful as the trees who reach out the caress the sky's face that enchants all mortal men.

I am the beauty from the sky, soft and pure at first...

But I can level mountains if necessary.[/color][/size][/blockquote][/blockquote][/justify]

i don't care if the train runs late
if the checks won't clear
if the house blows down.
i'll be off where the weeds run wild

( p e r s o n a l i t y )

They crumble and fall like birds being struck by lighting from the sky...

I am, in all honesty, one of the darkest members of my family. Only Ingrid, perhaps, could surpass me in eerie darkness and cruelty. However, I am smarter, more calculating and stronger. I am the queen leader of my pack sisters, and therefore I am the the queen on the chess board of life. Everyone else? They are just mere pawns.

While my sisters find obsession in staying away from the mortals, I quite enjoy strolling into the center of District 11 from time to time. The mortals do not interest me, for they are nothing but ants under a magnifying glass. It is rather fun to watch them squirm and sizzle, however.

They flock to me, the boys. I enchant them, and they give me gifts and undivided attention. Old family jewels and simple trinkets are hidden under a rock in my favorite sitting place, stashed away as permanent reminders of how much power I hold. The boys look so saddened when I turn and flutter away. They scream and run after me, but they know it all too well; deep in their hearts they know the truth.

I could never love a mortal.

[/color]

It's not that some of those mortal boys aren't sweet and attractive, oh no. It is because my heart is already claimed by the sky, wrapped up protectively in a white cloud. A white cloud that could easily turn gray.

I am rather temperamental, you could say. I'm always calm the first time I meet someone, mortal or not. I bat my eyes and smile kindly, luring them in with each movement. Once I lure people into my clear and vast serenity, I go dark. The clouds in my mind turn gray and electricity starts to snap at the damned mortals that are ever so below me.

I am like a dove with black feathers, owning the sky with a false serenity. My greatest desire is to rid the world of the fools below me, and destroy the foul Earth. I shall breathe in the thin air of the high skies as the mortals choke on the thick and polluted air of this land.

I am not a dreamer, I am an achiever. I will use and break anything in my path to obtain the Crown of the Skies. Even my dear sisters are not safe from my obsession with power. If only they could of been sane and realized that the sky is the only thing that matters.

None the less, they will soon be enclosed in the filthy tomb that is this Earth. I will weep for them, but only momentarily. For once I become one with the skies...

Nothing else will matter.[/i][/size][/blockquote][/blockquote][/justify]

and I'll start to soar!
watch me rain til I pour out!
i'll catch a ship and it'll sail me astray
get caught in a wind and I'll just have to obey time

They live near the forest...

[/i]

My sisters and I being they, that is. There is something about nature that calls to each of my sisters. The trees, the ground, and the water. They all find serenity here in our little home. But I, however, have constantly felt nothing but longing.

Ever since I was a little girl, taking the role of "Mother" for my family, I had found myself staring at the sky in a daze. Orianna would climb her trees and Arletta would drift in her pond, but I was left to stare at the part of me that I couldn't reach.

I used to have an obsession with jumping. I was never skilled with tree climbing, but I could scale the side of a rocky outcrop just as good as any lizard that scampers up and down. I would get to the highest point I could, and with my eyes lingering on the sky, I would leap. I still have a few scars on my knees from where I fell so much. Still, my constant falling only made me stronger. I realized after about ten falls that all of my crumbling was a sign. I'd have to get stronger before the sky could hold me in its arms.

I started to use and control my sisters, which was the first step. I once made them all pile up as I stood upon them when we were little. I even used to tell Orianna to climb the highest tree she could find, just to tell the sky to have sweet dreams for me every night.

There will soon come a time when I will be able to wish the sky sweet dreams, myself. I will be able to rely on no one, and only love myself and the sky. For even I will admit that the hummingbird trapped in the cage inside my chest has faint feelings for my sisters. But soon, they will drift away, down to the cold ground to be damned like the rest of the mortals and their emotions.

I deserve to be Queen of the Skies, in all truth. Not only was I born from the sky, I have underwent so much that I deserve the power that I so desperately crave.

I had never been a child-- I sacrificed my childhood for my sisters. I have never felt truly loved. I know the sky longs for me, but it does not love me, as of yet. I, also, have allowed my soul to drift away from the Earth, this being the ultimate sacrifice.

I am still drifting upwards, twisting and turning in anticipation as I get closer and closer. My life thus far has been nothing but me trying to find my wings.

Jumping and falling...
Climbing up damned souls...
Drifting upwards...
Losing myself in the rise...[/color]

No, I have not lost myself. I am Imelda Narcisse Elwyn, leader of my family and Queen of the Skies.

I adapt!
I overcome!
I survive!

And soon, the crown of the skies will be placed upon my head and...

I will smite every mortal during my reign of terror.[/color][/size][/blockquote][/blockquote][/justify]

time flying away!
flight!
ahhh...
ahhh...
