Yava"No, I am afraid not," Yava sighed "All I have been told is that she is powerful seer, with ability to monitor many events over large areas simultaneously. Beyond that my employer was as clueless to her identity as I am. She is complete unknown beyond what she can do and threat she poses."
She started to wonder if maybe the key would help here. She wasn't sure how much of a strong divide there was between simple probability and actual Fate, but perhaps if she got creative she could try to get some image of her target conjured up. It would be a start, at least... she'd wait to hear what Siren's prognosis was first though.
EilythThe answer took her aback. She wasn't quite sure what she'd been expecting, but to simply be called normal was still surprising. She glanced back at what remained of Tahra, for the first time now able to see something other than the cruel witch she had hated her entire life.
Normal? That was it... wasn't it? I think I remember now. The same as Brigitte, I just wanted to feel some fucking normalcy. But you people never let either of us have that. That's how this whole mess started. And that's why you're dead now. Why did it have to be this way...?"Hey do you... need a moment? I know you wanted to tear her throat out with your teeth, but family's complicated. Feelings even moreso. Might do you some good to pay your disrespects."
"huh, what? Oh..." The question shook her back to reality just briefly. She blinked a bit before returning her gaze to the corpse. "Yeah. Yeah, maybe it would. Tell the others to get ready, I won't be but a few minutes."
With that said she waited until Patt was gone. Then she sat down against the wall, gazed out the window, and
wondered where it had all turned to shit.
"Normal. Ain't that a kick?" A single drop streaked it's way down her cheek as she laughed mirthlessly. "I never asked for this. It's so... fucking obvious now. Why it feels so empty, seeing you lie here with that look on your face. All I wanted was some fucking normalcy. I never wanted to hate any of you. I never wanted to want any of you dead. All I ever wanted was a chance at what other people had. But I guess this family just wasn't cut out for normal, was it?"
She pulled her knees up to her chest and buried her face in them. She fought to hold back the torrent of pain that had lingered ever since she lost Brigitte, but even now it threatened to break the levee. The subtle caress of warm metal on her neck was quite adamant that she had every right to what she felt, however, and soon there was nothing she could do but give in.
"It's not effortless..." She said in between quiet sobs. "I've had to fight for it every fucking day. Keep myself from breaking like the rest of them. I filled my head with one god damn fairy tale after another, because they had all the happy endings I never could. I only became a dragon because I was tired of being a weak little girl who couldn't do anything. But it still didn't fucking matter in the end, because half of us are fucking dead now! There was
never going to be a 'normal'!
Nothing I could've done would've ever changed that! Why did I fucking trick myself into thinking otherwise!?"
It took every ounce of what little discipline she had left to not just scream then and there. Her sobs nonetheless grew a little louder as she sat there, curled into a ball and mourning the way things could've been, should've been, but never were. She knew such lack of restraint was probably a bad idea here, but quite frankly she didn't have any fucks left to give. If someone heard her, so be it. She had spent her whole life just quietly bearing it, it was high time she stopped.
"I'm tired... tired of fighting for something... I'll never have..."
