But gods are fickle beings, and things meant to be forgotten never remain so.
No one ever knew what to do with her except shove her aside. Lock her away. Too wild to be something, so forced to be nothing.
Broken and fractured and everything she’d tried to put back together over the years shattered once more.
She wouldn’t survive this. It would break her. And she didn’t burn when she broke. She shattered, and the world shattered with her.
“Know that sometimes we must break to be forged into who we were meant to be,”
“You’re too busy trying to separate lies from reality. You’re too busy trying not to break so completely that you can’t be fixed. But that’s impossible. You always break. We help each other glue the pieces back together, but it’s never quite right. The pieces of yourself never quite fit back together the way they once did. Until eventually, you don’t remember what it was like to not feel cracked and scarred. Until eventually, you are just a shell of what you once were, but you know there’s no way to go back, so you just move forward, even if death’s song sounds sweeter and sweeter every time.”
“Something can only bend so far before it snaps.”
She was alone. Stuck in her own head. And that was a dangerous place to be.
“I want everything you have to give, and then I want more. I want every piece of you— every secret, every tempest raging in those stormy eyes. I want all your fear and all your pain, all your smiles and all your laughter. I want all your mornings and all your nights, all your days and months and years.”
“You will learn soon enough that being the most cunning and wicked is the only way to survive in a realm of villains, little storm.”
“No one can steal your thunder if you are the storm,”
The idea of dying was terrifying, but the idea of truly not having to care anymore? That idea was freeing.
“Shadows are cunning, don’t you think? The light doesn’t realize the shadows are circling until there’s nowhere for them to go. It’s either join the shadows, or drown in the darkness.”
