fayre.
The shadows speak to her ;she does not answer them.
There is nothing to say
— at least nothing that matters.
Her captain and her district partner are gone, and Hanaa Darton has followed them into that starless sky; she has become sick of watching things disappear. Their absence takes root in her, makes her hands shake and her voice break. She doesn't know how to fill the silence. She doesn't know how to admit that there was a time when she envied the missing.'I hope your legacy is more
than becoming just another dead girl.'
But for a moment she is there, and she still braids Eos' hair. She still asks Elite questions, so that he can share his answers; so that they can pretend. And she reads the words that light up on her wrist, a girl's last story to share. 'You better hope you don't die now.' She does not want to. Her sadness is a strange beast, and her desire to be free does not dismiss her will to live. She still wants to exist.
She still wants to hurt.
That morning, she feels no pain. The blood on her clothes has dried. She doesn't tell her allies goodbye, she just offers a small smile and a wave. The last thing they want to hear is that she needs to clear her head, or that she's lost, or that she feels helpless; so she says nothing. She lets them control the narrative. She doesn't care — not now, maybe not ever. They can cast her for any role.
Maybe 'the fool' is most fitting; she's satisfying her hunger when the electricity goes out. "Fuck," she hisses to herself, lifting her sword from her belt and activating it. The purple glow is faint, only bright enough to lead her clumsily through the garden. She shivers from a rush of cold wind, watches as floating lights enter through a door that doesn't close. And there is snow.
Then the darkness comes.
It's impossible to complete the picture in front of her; there are only glimpses of dying flowers and the glint of steel. And the sound of footsteps. Her mind tries to make sense of her surroundings, but she is left only with her fear. With that familiar urge to escape. "Is that you, Eos? Elite?" She does not ask for any other names. She will yield for no one else.
Leaves crunch beside her,
and her sword arches forward.Death is easier
when she cannot see the blood.
