❝ 𝐚𝐡, 𝐚𝐡. ❞ 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐝, cant forwards &. chin tucked to embroidered hem. ❝ i went to your house, kratos. i knocked, ❞ a pause for emphasis. a tattooed arm gestures to kratos then opens in a wide arc. ❝ on your door. ❞ he steps forwards once &. then again. 𝐬𝐧𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐚 𝐠𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐬𝐧𝐨𝐰. snake measuring prey. what he sees before him is an effrontery. a gauche debauchery of a false god at the center of his perfunctory ambling.

he stopped before him. his wool cloak swirling around his knees. the sun hung west, a winter - white &. lucent glass eye watching them, heimal light reflecting long blades from the gold damask on his shoulder. in motes that sifted &. spun, sliding away like optic strobes. ❝ correct me, if i am mistaken, but this — all this prophecy — it has nothing to do with you. i asked that you not get involved. i was willing to overlook the death of my boy … &. still your answer is no. ❞ ( there is the subtlest shift in his demeanor, from this , this sympathetic diplomat to reveal just a hint of the hardened &. serrated edges of an authoritative man. edges that would seem unpleasant to touch. his face transforms under this paperthin veil of farce, solidifying into a demurring austerity. ) ❝ you wouldn’t know peace if it were standing right in front of you, looking you in the eye. if you did not want war, you at the very least would not have gone looking for týr. &. yet you did. what did you hope to gain from it ? hm ? you throw a bone &. you expect for a dog to come running towards it, kratos, but i didn’t think you were one. ❞
he has made his way to the wolves, noting the matted &. dusty fur, &. is brazen enough to reach for them, scratching beneath their chin. his back turned to the god. ❝ take your boy, &. go home, kratos. this doesn’t have to end with blood. ❞

@wargoer : ❝ come, eat. fortify yourself for the journey. ❞
𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐀𝐈𝐑 𝐈𝐒 𝐃𝐈𝐅𝐅𝐄𝐑𝐄𝐍𝐓 , 𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄 — in the manner it may only be weathered by man - made disturbances or lindwyrms masticating at the yggdrasil’s roots, the occasional susurrus of leaves from ratatoskr’s skittering & the tumult of kratos’ footsteps forwards, each strike upon the floor shuddering like a pulse that could be felt beneath their feet.
it is a peculiar cold past the door — a cold that does not wring ladders of frost down the windows nor stiffens the joints of your hand, rather draped like a chiffon of nihility. it dies at the threshold , at the tinkering of brok’s hammer, at an almost homey scent of burning wood & bowls of stew freshly set at the table. [ a scene she might have thought endearing in lighter circumstances ; still she sits, finds within herself to reach the wooden spoon despite a lackluster appetite . ] ❝ your head , ❞ a pause : careful she does not contort her visage at the taste of the stew. ashen on her tongue. she cannot say why it is so. ❝ there’s smoke coming from your ears with how much you’re thinking. what troubles you ? ❞

❝ a warrior learns from their mistakes, or they are buried by them. ❞
he pulls himself to attention, watching the words spoken. body filled on a moment in which settlements of fire dried his river - as his name peeled to bone. washed away in a picket of TEETH , god thrown to show how unworthy he truly was . and so he catches the ruins and strikes matches to burn what was , into what would be. and he sees himself a jagged mass running circuits. to attempt a finding of all that was still missing. he sees this man - no giant a kin to blessing where he was a limb of. ABNORMAL castings. turning his own needed love away from him.
he chews down his throat and wonders a space to eat ideals made on whims and fancies . and so he points his eyes to unguided readings. is he changing or is he wanting something else. something easier to pry out if he LIES it all away.

𝐈𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐂𝐄𝐑𝐓𝐎 𝐎𝐅 𝐅𝐄𝐓𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐒 , 𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐈𝐏𝐒𝐄𝐃 𝐂𝐋𝐀𝐑𝐈𝐓𝐘 && arduous grief faced intemerate truth : cold && relentless , a privileged gasp above catacombs && intestate . he halts mid - step , gorgonized in an icy sweat . yet nothing dwells past the walls of cothurn trees ; not a soul unbelonging of a prey , trembling like ground foxes in their covers . burrowed time and borrowed world and borrowed eyes with which to sorrow it . he forces a breath , pushing aside the tarpaulin of paranoia && sifting woods to toss to the fire . ❝ then you understand my haste . ❞ chestnut eyes whisk with flame / 𝔟𝔩𝔬𝔬𝔡𝔩𝔲𝔰𝔱 sheathed furtively in elytra , in his pulse / heart swelled by the faces of his brethren .
mother church tells us if our dead kin are sainted we may pray to them . she does not say if they’ll speak back , in dreams or out .
small kaleidoscopes of color burst in small fans where the last rays of daylight hit the snow , elongate then blink out of existence again . a place similar to this , another selva of dialogue trekked — he had left without a word then , without introspect . a man babbling in monosyllabic tongues behind him . the implication that he’d do so again hangs between them , drawn hieratic at the end of a rotten stick into the snow . ❝ i’ll shoulder what it is if the time comes , but my resolution is final . ❞

the castle may be a permanent fixture now , standing amongst the piles of rubble and damage from its shifting all those years ago . and in his isolation he has slept . there is no purpose for him to wake , none he holds dear , only the constant h a u n t i n g memories within these walls . WHEN HE WAKES IT IS NOT OF HIS OWN CHOICE . there is sense , there , a subconscious knowledge of the fluctuations of magic . presence in the castle that many often thought as abandoned but were too affeared to enter . MOST HAD HEARD THE LEGENDS OF THIS PLACE .
he stands at the top of the staircase , overlooking the man from the balcony . the strange man . one who did not look as though he quite belonged to this world . when he speaks , a very slight ounce of DRY SARCASM rests within his tone . ` make yourself at home . ` @wargoer

❝The Gods had never done us any favors. I’m not sure
why people praise them, when all they do is ruin almost
everything.❞
Why was she even venting to this brute of a man? Not even she knows. The warrior herself was frustrated, and Gods knew why.
❝The only God who favored me was Poseidon. I couldn’t
say the same about the others.❞
Was she talking out of her ass or was she talking from experience? Well, that’s up to him- but it’s most definitely, to her, from experience.

𝐈𝐓 𝐖𝐀𝐒 𝐖𝐀𝐑— rickon could feel it in the way the ground trembled & roared beneath his feet, threatening to rupture as if the world itself was tempted to open up, and swallow all that trekked it’s frost laden grounds. to know instinctively the source of this battle, thundering through the woods as if two gods sought dominance over one another, was something rickon would not have known... had it not been for the fact that one of these gods was his wolf— a beast of terrifying stature, he appeared as if he were born from the inky black depths of hell itself, emerald eyes glowing like a dragon’s keep on fire faced only by a man... who as rickon tore through bramble & thorns, came face to face with a child throwing himself between an axe, and a beast who’s teeth long & red, wore the blood of the god before him.

“Is that what they say in the south?”
Her gaze is one of contemplative softness. Despite the almost-jest, his concern is not without merit even if it is misplaced. The chill winds and snow of Midgard Faye is long acquainted with and could cope accordingly, even if she had not been of a breed who could not only survive in such bitterness – but thrive. “You worry too much.”
The statement is no reprimand, more akin to a fond observation. Even when such concerns went unvoiced it seemed as if his existence lent itself to anticipating the worst and such a habit is troublesome to break.
“Any wound, if untreated, causes unnecessary suffering. But with the proper aid it is miraculous what we can overcome.”

STARTER CALL . * / @wargoer

she’s always felt a little caged by metaphor . it’s a human thing , she supposes , the idea that complex and individual feels can be equated to something general . how does she articulate the crushing feeling of anger , of regret to someone who’s already understanding it ? how does she tell him no --- you’re really not alone ?
she’d like to be alone with what little only she has . it feels disgusting to rob someone else of this . but she bites her lip , lifts her golden head and meets his eyes .
❛ emotions come , i don’t know why . ❜
queenie confesses . she doesn’t feel any better for having said this . she flinches in anticipation .
❛ so when i say i’m sorry , it’s cause --- you shouldn’t have’ta feel like this . it’s --- you deserve better . ❜

THE TOWER.
For better or for worse, you know how to make an impression. You *thrive* on shaking things up and leaving your mark, and never want to leave somewhere or someone the same as before you entered the picture. People may find you a little unpredictable, but they love how you always bring the fun — or at least the entertainment.
