@katabasiss : bow in one hand, arrow in another, quiver slung over her shoulder and she’s aiming for the gods because she wants to bring them down, down, down, yet she counts the cost on gilded fingertips and mourns the loss of herself while knowing that to be divine is to be infinite and that is all she ever asked for.

@nerocael (Vall): she hunts in the darkness with a blade between her bloodstained teeth because she’s seen wars, wars and rumours of wars and she’s seen the universe fall apart in her hands and she’s put it back together with an empty clavicle to show for it and though she doesn’t say it she’s tired, oh, so tired, but she has to keep moving, keep going because the sun greets a new dawn and the direwolfs will come for her when noon turns to night.

@ivonoris (Fin): gods, she’s a hopeless thing, all she wants is for the world to tell her story, tell it how she lived it, tell it how she etched it into the sarcoline heavens but she knows men are cruel and legends fade because only the conquerors remain and even if she was one she’d bring the world to its knees and no one wants to remember that, do they?

@omgbrekkerkaz (Zara): run, don’t stop her now, she’s got the wind at her back and the morn at her face and she’s not afraid, no, she’s not afraid, she’s got iron teeth and brazen knuckles and hubris in between those lips of hers and she will speak and you will listen until you crumble to stardust–and she’ll put your soul to rest where it belongs.

@kowlazovdi (Shelley): don’t underestimate a woman, she’ll tear your heart out with a bat of the eyes and a honeyed smile, but don’t think she loves you, no, don’t think she loves you, for if she did she’d bring down Olympus to be by your side and you would do the same, but you run off with too many women and she grits her teeth and conquers nations and when she finds someone to really love you’ll feel the gods descend to squeeze the life out of your lungs and you will know what it is to be forgotten.
