“I wish I could have given it to you.”
lee you have my HEART
When she tugs me closer, I let her.
ITS HAPPENING
My body is gloriously, triumphantly sore. Lee was careful.
ARE YOU SHITTING ME THEY BANG OFF PAGE?!
“Really good.”
Damn right
“Everyone likes a dress with pockets.”
Hell yeah we do
“I just wanted it to be in writing, somewhere. I wanted it to be in writing that it was you. For me. It’s always been you.”
ITS ALWAYS BEEN YOU?! BRB CRYING
Annie is prettiest of all,
Tears
I’ve managed to keep hold of Annie, but at the point where we’re led to Ixion, he seizes her by the hair and her hand is ripped from mine.
Noo
Aela’s speed plateaus when it should be gaining.
No no no
Aela won’t make it.
Dont say that!
You can train them from the ground.
Pallor please no
She is so beautiful. Our bondmate, our wingrider, our beloved—
Sobbing please no
Do it. Pallor makes a jackknife turn.
God please no
Annie screams. Aela shrieks. Pallor spreads his wings across the sky and roars. The sky fills with fire.
PALLOR YOU ARE KING
Aela’s lost in the white. Safe.
Pallor you saved her crying
“Get me a knife,” Ixion is saying. “I’m not carting it back.”
NO!! NO NO NO
These are the things you say when it’s the end.
NO NOT THE END IT CANT BE
There is a little boy that we love. A sad boy, fierce and not quite broken, and we will teach him how to fly.
SOBBING, A BOY WE LOVE
See, little one? There’s so much left to live for.
Pallor…
Then he drives the tip into soft scales and opens the jugular.
FUCK YOU IXION YOU SCUM
Images flash in my head, flickering across my vision in her anguish:
So much sobbing oh Aela
was yours when I had nothing, no family or name. My lord, to me you have been a mother, a father,
Annie you break my heart stahp
Have you ever shared Leo’s bed?”
They fuuuucked… off page
What he wouldn’t have known, from that evidence, is how proud we were. Of our bondmate, safe. Of our great fire, protecting her.
My heart :(
Of our beautiful eggs, of the boy we left behind to stand on his own feet—
FUCKING WRECK ME
You saved her. But I wasn’t able to save you.
RIP Pallor… Ixion must die
And now he’s gone, and I’m left grounded on this hard earth, alone.
SOBBING AGAIN
The only way past grief is through it, but on the other side, someone needs me.
Poetry
doesn’t have to ask where my dragon is. “Leo. Those bastards.”
THOSE FUCKING BASTARDS
At the guard’s knock, Ixion opens it. “Hello, Antigone.”
Oh shit
I own you, Ixion said once, and he’s been waiting ever since to prove it.
Oh god
I’ve endured so much worse in this life than this humiliation.
My girl is strong
He walks to the fire, roaring in the grate, and inspects what appears to be a poker buried in the embers. “Cattle,” he says.
PIG
Then he pulls the poker from the coals, and I see the Stormscourge cattle brand.
FUCKING PSYCHOPATH
I’d steeled myself for violation and for shame, but I had not steeled myself for this—for simple, obliterating pain.
Same I was NOT ready
feel that I am catching fire myself. And not the way Ixion wanted, when he branded me.
Rise queen!
I push to my feet. Fury powers me through the pain.
So empowered
The sticky, mottled S on my leg will not speak for me.
PREACH
Ixion smiles at me from the lead chair of the inquisition. “Good morning, Antigone.”
THIS FUCKER
“How are you handling the sorrow spells?”
Wow right to the heart Duck
The sheepish boy we used to protect from bullies has been replaced by someone who has found his footing in the world.
Proud of you Duck
Aela has joined us.
My heart
know I’ve shared minds with Annie’s dragon.
Whoa
“Let me see your leg.” His eyes are bugging.
Sometimes I love Power
Power’s clenched fists tighten;
I love Power's anger
“No more than three drops every six hours. If anyone asks, I came in here to gloat.”
Yup I am hard for Power
I stare into his gray eyes, and the answer Miranda Hane trained me to give fades.
Oh shit
“I did.”
Oh fuck!!!
Power arches a brow.
Lol
Your claim today made him . . . particularly vindictive.”
Shit
