patroclus

you are patroclus, from the iliad by homer, doomed by fate to be stuck in a love story that has no place on the battlefield. although you always have the best intentions, you have to realize you cannot save everyone. your unwavering loyalty means you often lose yourself in the process of putting others first. take a deep breath, remember who you are, and that you are deserving of the same love you try to put out. you are kind, you are strong, and you give and you give but it is never enough to protect those you love. in the end, it's not even enough to protect yourself.

“I didn’t ask to be here.” Nobody ever asks for the circumstances of their birth. Robin didn’t even know the half of what awaited her, years down the line. Just that her mother had some secret connection to the world outside, while the woods and spirits her father had guarded continued to whisper siren song to the young wolf’s soul.

“I just want to fulfill my purpose. Maybe then the gods will allow me to have respite from my loneliness.” Her voice is soft, somber. As if she didn’t believe a word of what she had said. Why would anyone free her from this curse when it benefitted the spirits?
