we're climbing until we transcend
higher, higher to where the skies end
higher, higher to where the skies end
She is fuming, like a volcano about to erupt. Instead of smoke coming out of her ears, it's coming up from her hooves with every step. Her eyes are wild like the fire churning inside her. Morrighan is still coming down from a tense argument with the Emissary and one of the Champions. As she's walking away, there is a group of kids standing in the middle of the pathway. She yells at them to get the fuck out and they scatter quickly so as to not feel her wrath.
There had been a time where no one really knew her in Denocte. She came to the land on accident by somehow being thrown in through a portal after the War. Her solitude was precious and she didn't trust anyone. However, as it was made clear that she was not going back home, she started to get to know more of the Court. The lands felt familiar and comfortable, possibly even more so than Ourania. Now here she is - Warden of the Night Court.
With her new title came new responsibilities, but it also came with her being more well known. So when the man named August appears and speaks to her, it's not entirely surprising that he knows her name. Morrighan's never seen him before, but there's already something about him that reminds her of an annoying gnat.
"Charmed," she replies sarcastically, looking over as August walks by her side. "Keeping the peace" was one way to put it. "Just trying to make sure the idiots stay in line," she adds, rolling her eyes. There is probably no getting through to Moira and she could care less what rank the woman holds. To mourn a man like Raum in public is the same as putting a large target on your back or a "kick me" sign. There were many things Morrighan could have done (or said), but she had kept back quite a lot.
She can't say that she's seen this man around much and so he likely did not have an important rank in the Court. "And who are you exactly, August? What's your position here?" 'What purpose do you have?' she almost asked. He had not been at the recent meeting or at least not in the forefront. She can't help but feel suspicious, especially if he is the type to just hang back in the shadows.
@August <3
