"You won’t end my troubles. You’ll only bring more of them into my world. But you will give me what I want. And what I want is worth giving everything I have for. This I’ve already decided.” And there it was, his passion. Though his eyes were a colour as cold as the darkest depth of the oceans, they alit with flame. That void, consuming quality remained but now there was hunger. He would tear down everyone who stood in his way, tread through fire without it even singeing a platinum hair. “Answer my question. Will you grant me my wish?”

To think that he had the audacity to make demands of a creature far more powerful than him, well. He knew that this fearful thing would not have come if it hadn’t taken interest in him. “You wouldn’t need for money nor power, at least not ones that I could give you. So what is your price then?”

      ❛indeed, trouble ---- ha, is inevitable. but you do want someone who will be            utterly devoted to you, do you not? someone, who by course of action, will never           leave your side? i can offer that, and your wish, in return for your soul. ❜

             ❛i’ll capture every piece on the opponent’s board               and put their king in check myself. i don’t have any                     intention of losing this game.❜

      she’s already nearly lost once; she’ll accept his mercy and take       the second chance he’d given her that day on the roof firmly in       hand. slaying those who disgraced her and her family, taking       her revenge, just as she’d always intended.

            ❛         and when i say checkmate, my life will end as            well. you’ll have your payment and i’ll die with no regrets.❜

     those words, he believes, are the words of someone truly devoted to a game they know      they will win. whether they win of their own accord or by default of the losing side, he cares      not. she is no fallen warrior, but nor is she the strongest contender to the game. patiently,       she waits for her moves to count for something ---- something sebastian is to make a reality.

with the next five songs, who can guess what new muse i have? 

run ---- daughter.

rabbit heart ---- florence & the machine.

lies ---- marina & the diamonds.

forest fires ---- lauren aquilina. 

irrelevant ---- lauren aquilina.
