Anger pooled deep within her bones, hearing the booming voice of Kaos as he threatened those that spoke out against him. She stood tall, prepared for her own back talk from the god, coiled and waiting, ready to die so long as he knew that what he had done was wrong. He needed to know that even if he was a god, he couldn’t just break promises.
But to her surprise, he entered her mind. Immediately, her body tensed, trying to build up walls against him. Brick after brick after brick. Yet, a simple “I’m sorry” was what came. It felt sincere, and it burned against her skin just as the tender caress she had felt from her amulets before they exploded against her skin. He continued to speak, and her ears that had originally pinned against her skull lifted, her flames dying against her spine as she looked at him from beyond tear stained eyelids.
And suddenly, she just knew she had more power. After he spoke of his gift, she simply thought about her headdress that she wore, the rose gold armor placed menacingly along her face, the blades suddenly sparked with a teal and black flame. And despite the anger and agony she had, she suddenly felt somewhat better. The flames died and she continued to let her gaze linger on him longer, sighing quietly to herself before muttering a quiet thanks and turning away from him and the group.
She hated him, but he continued to reward her. Perhaps there was light at the end of the tunnel.
at the end of the world, or the last thing i see —
