because i've been angry and running my entire life only to find some things cannot be outrun, cannot be undone with all the rage in the world.

ILLAQVEO : a canon divergent gale hawthorne of the hunger games trilogy. independent & selective — written by ollie ( 27. est. ) — graphic

she has not needed his protection for quite some time now ( perhaps, not ever ), but blaidd stands a looming figure at her back all the same, eyes cast toward the night sky : kind but cold, familiar as the beat of his oath and the chill that clung to his greatsword. things have changed since the days of running through the palace halls, sneaking through the kitchens and out to the woods. they will never be that simple again, but the truth can be just that : he is whatever she needs — as he has always been.

his laugh graces the air, a rare sound ranni always did seem to draw out the most. no hesitation colors his steps, one, two great strides bringing him to where she sits, glowing pale in the night, a moon onto herself. the shape she takes now should not be familiar, far more blue than red, and yet familiarity lingers around the details : the jut of the chin, the rare softness in her eyes, a delicate demeanor that hid the undercurrent of her power. he would recognize her no matter where her spirit dwelled.

" perhaps it is neither, but a good hunt and a sated stomach, " he offers, amusement curling into the cold air. with a silent motion he folds himself into sitting, one knee drawn up towards his chest, the other dangling off the ledge over the murky darkness below. a cold deep breath in. out. this feels like the first moment of rest he's had for quite some time. introspection solemns his voice, slow and deep. " i swore no oath to the night sky — " nor does he belong to anything greater, no matter what the blood in his veins may say. faith can be etched simply sometimes, as straightforward as a slash and final as his teeth through bone. his gaze shifts from the kind stars to her face, familiar and not. " — there is only one thing i need keep faith in. "

[ 1. ] — URBAN :

the graffiti - scarred underpass of an old railway bridge, echoing with distant trains. the fire escape of a towering high - rise, overlooking a vast grid of sleeping lights. a forgotten alleyway behind a row of storefronts, bathed in the glow of a neon sign. the window booth of a greasy diner, blurred city lights reflected in the glass. a sheltered bus stop tagged with old stickers & graffiti, drenched in midnight rain. a food cart on a busy street corner, steam rising into the cool night air. a 24 - hour laundromat, fluorescent lights humming above rows of idle machines. amidst the initial trickle of commuters through a sprawling subway station. a park at the city's center, made up of grassy knolls & playground equipment. the shadowed corridor of a parking garage, footsteps echoing in concrete silence. the elevated walkway over a busy intersection, offering a bird's - eye view. a vibrant street art mural on the side of a decaying brick building, alive with color.

[ 2. ] — RURAL :

a cramped stall within an empty stable, moonlight shining through the rafters. a neglected orchard where wind - blown fruit rots beneath gnarled trees. a winding gravel path leading all the way to a secluded farmhouse. a field of wildflowers buzzing with bees, bordered by split - rail fencing. a street temporarily shut down on behalf of a bustling farmer's market. the sleepy main street of an eerie town, a single streetlight casting a warm glow. a dry creek bed winding through brittle grass & sun-bleached stones. a rickety wooden bridge arching over a narrow stream, frogs croaking all around. a quiet paddock under bright starlight, farm animals peacefully grazing. the middle of a deep, vast corn field under a brilliantly shining moon. a dusty, unpaved road stretching endlessly through a landscape of rolling hills. a yard sale with patrons trickling through beneath the hot sun.

[ 3. ] — NATURE :

a moss - covered trail leading deeper into a dense, mist-shrouded forest. a windswept cliff overlooking a turbulent gray ocean, gulls crying overhead. a secret lagoon with crystal blue waters & flourishing flora on all sides. the shifting golden dunes of a vast beach, meeting the endless blue of the sea. the banks of a swift, rocky river cutting through a vibrant forest. a lodge / cabin in the middle of the woods, seemingly unoccupied for years. a cluttered camping site deep in the middle of a national forest. the edge of a marsh, thick with reeds & the distant calls of unseen birds. the tranquil, glassy surface of a mountain lake reflecting a clear blue sky. a hidden clearing bathed in dappled light, exuding the scent of damp earth. a fork in the hiking trail, each path offering different adventures. a foggy moor where the land rolls endlessly beneath a grey, heavy sky. the deck of a cozy cottage bathed in sunlight & blooming flowers. a grove of ancient trees, their roots exposed & twisted like veins in the earth.
