Poetry by echo

I know with the meyarin blood in her and Fletches healing skills she doesnt scar but I like to imagine that while Alex was digging Niyx grave she irreversibly damaged her hands.

maybe she has scars, not think the glittering ones from claims, but normal human ones. ones that she refused to let fletcher heal. maybe her fingernails never grew back properly and when she paints them with DC she frowns that the polish settles in the ridges and dips of her rough nails. maybe her hands ache sometimes, a deep painful ache in the joints of her fingers. she first noticed it in Vardaesia, one of the nights that Kadien snuck into her room, he wraped his hands around hers and kissed her fingertips. it is worse when she holds A'enara. or any sword. when she faced off Aven for the final time her hands burned. burned for all of the death that he caused.
