ok its been some time since the session and i have in fact slept now since we finished at like 3.20am and went to bed at like 4. but oh my god . weeping, truly. i love my wife raina storm. this was all about her. she finally heard the things she needed to hear—things that maybe belmaia already knew, but couldn't be the one to tell her. "what am i meant to do?" "whatever you want to," terra the lady that you are.
it became even more potent when i realised also that those words meant something to belmaia as well as storm. this sort of confirmation that yes, your life is yours, and no god can tell you who you are or who you will be. she's been feeling so unsure of herself after finding out that her saving storm was part of the prophecy, wondering if she's even able to stop it at all despite her desperate attempts to. but this reminded her that just because her actions were in the prophecy doesn't mean they weren't hers. she still has the power to stop it because it doesn't truly have any power over her unless she lets it.
stormaia is so gloriously special to me. im so glad they get to kiss and be happy when there's no horrors occuring
