FOR HER MAJESTY : catharsis begins with the haunting act of surrender. devoid of reasoning, emptiness harkens the enthralling embrace of ivory rime and deadened ribs. snowfall descends onto her fingertips, soft and fragile, she cradles it as gently as she does the world —— only to crush it with the unbearableness of her love. her hand is cold from the numbness of her devotion : vengeance her comforting sonnet beneath empyrean skies and heavenly treachery. ❝ it is unfortunate, don't you think ?. ❞ she begins with acknowledgement in the almost empty throne room. ❝ to surrender to love, is to suffocate in the end. ❞
palm close together like folded wings and the ice shatter from the weight of her fingers only to crumbles to the ground. ❝ love can be quite ... terrifying. ❞
love, it's what always boils down to. a certain adoration held for their tsarista, despite contradictions in being an UNFEELING FATHER. those feelings *& emotions somehow manage to rip their way through a caged heart, roaring at its surface *& igniting the corruption without worn soul. she cradles your vengeance consumed sight, remaining the guiding light even in all its manipulation. this is her will, her forged path. for all she has down for the knave, for all of them, who are they to defy the perfect *& never wrong doing goddess? arlecchino is a sinner, in every way, yet remains pure to the ice. even when getting to close, the threat to melting it away, she'll let it consume whole, burn up until there is nothing left, if she so wills it.
with an intense, watchful gaze, red irises followed the ice. undivided attention to every detail, form remain kneeling of that of a knight. prepared for any reprimand, or praise, or simple words. form is stiff, unable to fully express as it felt undeserving of even so witness her majesty in the flesh. a single word could form cuts within maw, barb wire cutting at gums, it is shameful to respond without a clear answer. claws dug at covered skin, piercing own palms *& breaking the skin 'round thigh. this crushing pressure, it lingers in their shared air space. alrecchino tries to hold her breath, she doesn't want to take away resources from what her goddess needs. she can survive without it. she will survive without it. if she can't last ten minutes without suffocation; then she does not deserve life. she only pray the tsarista is who puts her in the ground - that would be the highest form of love.
some moments pass, jaw tightens when trying to open. *& the knave finally prevails, words rolling off her swollen tongue, as though poison soaks it. a cut throat full of glass, it's hard to breathe again. shaky inhales *& then a single exhale - ice stung. it's the comfort in wounds a demon so admired.
❝ i'm not... afraid of you. in fact, i never was, mon dieu. i'll strip myself of cloth *& my flesh alike, to hang out in the cold at your disposal. my guts, they'll spill into your golden chalice *& you can raise a toast to your devotees. my meat, desperately clinging to aching bones, can be used in your next meal to ensure you never go hungry. , ramblings became frantic, the iron taste strengthens. tunnel vision on appeasing the tsarista. yet, her body lay still. un-moving like any marble statue.
❝ this is my love for you. i'll feel it until there's nothing left. even if my curse takes me in full, changing who i am - i know that you're duty will always be my wish. *& i intend on seeing it through, regardless of my own goals. , DISGUSTING IN SPEAKING SUCH DEVIANCY, cursed gaze meets one with striking ice blues. the threat of nightmares tug at shoulders, prying away what little feathers of burnt wings are left.
