Summary
Every title placed upon the mantle, an ever growing burden that weighed heavier and heavier with each passing cycle.
And they were tired of having to carry it all alone, a burden they never wanted that they had never asked for, and yet to shirk this anchor unto another soul was more than xe could bear. And resigned to their fate, the Warrior of Light would carry on to ever live up to the rising expectations of one and all, knowing that when they fell it would be the most painful of all.
But hiding in the shadows, there was small comforts, secrets and truths that were allowed to breathe and flourish when no one was looking...or at least no one xe could see.

Summary
And so, as it was ordained by the stars upon conception of the universe, Iverelle Vauvenelle died.
T’was not a pretty death, either–it was bloody and it was painful. She fought with all her might, with every noble and dirty trick she had, desperation fueling her every swing of her scythe, but it was not enough.

Summary
You loved how the rot churned within you, and how you expelled it like a rancid bile. You loved watching it consume your foes, and you loved the sting it brought to your muscles. How funny–the decay and the rot made you feel alive. Wouldn’t that be ironic? That bringing yourself to ruin is what made you feel like a person again?

Summary
Estinien stayed silent, his eyes lidded as he continued to stare down the knife. She couldn’t tell if he was seriously considering her words or ignoring her outright, as both were entirely plausible by his expression. A furrow set in deep in time with a heavy sigh, pulling the blade fully from its sheath. “Because I once considered you a dear friend and ally,” were words that cut sharper than the knife he played with, “and naive as it may be, I want to believe it matters at least somewhat.
“But I know what fuels your ire.”
——
A journey to find Orn Khai's mother; a journey to reconnect to Surkukteni's past; and a journey to repair a friendship that goes a bit awry. Surkukteni didn't ever think she could mend things with Estinien; let alone catch feelings for the man.
A rewrite of Dragoon 70 to follow, somehow, silence hurts the most —it can be mostly read without it, but I still recommend reading that first. Absolutely love this draft, and I hope y'all do too!
