[EVENT] Each One a Treasure

[Atreus]

behind these eyes
beneath this crown of fire
hides a mind etched in violence

Atreus does not trust the Gods, but he also does not fear them.

He certainly doesn’t belong here, not in this dusty, ravaged place meant for ruinous barbarians and their ilk. Yet here he was, standing smack dab in the middle of the steppe in a field of vexatious flowers, whose petals have been replaced by glittering rubies, emeralds, topazes and everything between. The wind rustles them gently, and as they brush against one another their sound resembles that of glass wind chimes over anything else. The roan’s ears tip backward in an attempt to drown out the unmistakable song carried on the breeze, and for a moment he swears he can hear a sing-song voice accompanying it – he knows it was the very thing that had lured him all the way here in the first place.

The urge to reach out and snatch one between his teeth is almost too much to bear, and perhaps a time or two he almost gives in to temptation before jerking his head back at the last second. Oh, the possibilities of what he could do with them in his workshop! What magic did they hold, assuming they held any at all? Would he come to regret his decision to leave them behind, or would he simply be thankful to have another chance to go back home to Fiona, curiosity be damned?

Through narrowed eyes he looks to the sky, dark lips curled with disdain. “You will not feast on me today.” The words nearly come out in a hiss, a warning to the Gods and their trickery, a promise to himself as he abandons the glittering garden behind him.

The Gods had fooled him once before, and he’d be damned if he allowed them to do so again.

“Speaking.”
