to the sacrificing muse.

" no! no, no, what the hell did you do that for?! "

" keep your eyes on me! "

" we need a medic over here! oh, god... oh jesus, what the hell were you thinking?! "

" we did it! we won! hey! we... w-wait, wait a sec, you're hurt... "

" no! stay awake! hey, stay with me! "

" no... no, no, no, please don't go, please! please don't go! stay with me! "

" hey, hey... love, you need to keep your eyes open, okay? eyes on me, it's alright, it's... oh, no... no, no, come on, baby, keep 'em open! don't... "

" it's gonna be okay. it is, alright? it'll be just fine, they'll bring us to the hospital, you'll be up and about in no time... "

" you can't die! we made all those plans, remember? you remember, we had all these dreams! buy a house, g-go see that movie you wanted to watch... you need to stay with me so we can do all of that! "

" hey, hey, hey... eyes on me. come on, you can do this! "

from the sacrificing muse.

" l-look at me... hey, look at me... this wasn't your fault. "

" y'know... at the time, this was a really good idea, but i gotta say... i'm kinda regretting it now. "

" phew! this, uh... i'll be honest, this one hurts a lot more than i'd expected! "

" hey... h-hey... i gotta tell you, b'fore i... i love you. "

these are taken from the show with the same title, triggers may be present, proceed with caution, feel free to adjust any you that you deem necessary.

promises are always made, and they are always broken. always.

i’ve been gone too long. too long.

i pray this is not the only time we meet.

i will come home, keep you safe, make this land better for you.

i love you, little prince/princess.

when you married into the royal house, their customs become yours.

i don’t know what he/she/they understands!

i only know the closer he/she/they gets to his brothers/sisters, the further he feels from me.

truly, we are destined. 

ever since.. but ever since he/she/they came back from the battle.

how did you know?

whenever he/she/they returns from victory, a child is never far behind.

you both have more than your fair share already.

maybe it’s time that i started to take things.

what about a legacy? don’t you want to be remembered?

i will be remembered.

are we to measure our pain against each other?

are to compete with who’s suffered more?

what did you say?

i speak of that witch. that is treason.

[name:optional]? you’re as cold as ice.

this is a seeing. now, do you see more?

they must not be with strangers.

we have had a warning and now we will keep them close with us.

what are your intentions with [name:optional]?

what do you think they are?

well, you’re not attracted to her/him/them, which only leaves a motive no honorable than mine.

you might be a fool but you can’t fool me.

stay away from [name:optional].

my son/daughter will never marry you.

so whatever happens in this battle, i will be queen/king.

this is the very last time you will sit in my presence.

i am sorry for your loss.

this wasn’t an honorable death on a battlefield.

it was murder and treason in the eyes of god and men.

you will go wherever i command it.

you knew when you married that i would not be a husband that would faithfully sit at your feet.

we are not young anymore.

we are not those two people who met at the side of the road.

what remains is my love for you.

you are what sustains me in battle. you are my home.

i cannot ride to battle like this.

marry me. it is the only way. i’m mad for you. will you marry me?

i have to have you. if you will not be my mistress then you must marry me.

i cannot sleep. i haven’t slept since i last saw you.

so, is this love then? is this what it feels like?

what’s the point of being king/queen if i cannot keep you naked all day long?

you must be strong if you will marry [name:optional], as i once was.

you may have whatever you want. if you will take the consequences.

men go to battle. women wage war.

just play your part, it won’t be for long..

some of us are still loyal to our house.

do not doubt my courage. i am match for any man/woman.

i want them dead.

i am as lucky in battle as i am in love.

and i was hoping for you crown.

i’ve sacrificed too much to lose him/her/them now.

i thought you were well versed in love.

she’s/he’s/their my queen/king of choice.

i must avenge my father and my brother or god knows i shall go mad!

what should that achieve? it will not bring them back.

i don’t want to be king/queen if you will die.

i won’t die for a very long time, i promise.

i always keep my word, don’t i?

we were partners in every sense of the word.

you lay with her/him/them like you loved her/him/them.

maybe with them close to us our curse can do its work.

i would be a queen/king of stone. i would have dignity and no emotion.

you would defy a king/queen appointed by god himself/themselves?

oh, i don’t see god in these people.

death leaves a heartache no one can heal.

love leaves a memory no one can steal.

to fight an infestation you must scorch the nest.

how can one brother/sister betray the other?

i know you plot against the king/queen, while he/she/they may forgive you, i never will.

i wish there were no sides.

but i don’t forget and i don’t forgive.

only fools wait when their enemies are coming, to see if they may prove to befriends.

you are not alone. you have me and i will never leave you, i promise.

we will always have each other.

men/women with blood on their hands are no respecters of title or age.

just like. emotional prompts, vague and used to express those moments where the muse is breaking down and the filter is gone.

" i screwed up... i-i screw-- i screwed up so bad... "

" i'm sorry! "

" i-i didn't mean for any of this to happen... "

" i can't believe i dragged you into this. "

" it's all true. all the awful things they said about me/you. they're all true... "

" it was me, okay?! i did it! i'm the reason why you're in this mess! "

" you deserve better than this... "

" none of us are getting out of this. are we? "

" i, uh... for the first time in my life, i don't have a plan. "

" i'm scared. "

" i killed him/her/them. "

" goddamnit! don't you ever do that to me again! i was terrified something had happened to you! "

" i... i am begging you... don't do this. "

" i just need someone to hold me. someone to tell me everything's going to be okay... "

" why are you even here?! "

" i break everything i touch! "

" i don't know what i'm doing... "

" you're still here. why? haven't you seen enough to know that's the biggest mistake you'll ever make? "

" i did this... "

" please... please, help me. "

" i... i had nowhere else to go... "

" i don't know how i got here. i don't... i just remember walking. and now i'm here. and you're here... "

" i... i did something really bad... "

" what have you done?! "

" you can tell me to go, i just... i just really need... i don't even KNOW what i need... "

" i'm a bad person. "
