i am the fire
i am burning brighter
roaring like a storm
i am burning brighter
roaring like a storm
Maybe it's not just Morrighan with a rage burning inside of her. Maybe she's not alone after all in this confusing shithole. But destroying the maze hadn't doused Isra's anger, so how is she supposed to handle her's if all the destruction isn't the answer? It seems like the easy way out.
The world around them shifts again until there's grass beneath their feet. The fire had begun to fade, but is now happily consuming the blades of grass until they slowly become nothing but ash. What would things be like if she could change the world around her with the blink of an eye? What would it be like if she turned it all to dust?
It'd be a lie if she said that she's still not tempted. She could tell Isra yes and it would be done. Maybe they could run through all the ash together and forget their rage.
The Sovereign mentions how she used to run from everything. It makes Morrighan think back to having drinks with Eik and how he knew Isra at a different time. A time when she was softer, maybe more vulnerable. The grullo has only known the woman as she stands here now having fought off Raum and avoided death. How did someone so soft get the ability to change the whole world?
There's something about the way she says she'll take back the world that makes Morrighan's fire burn stronger. In some way it's like a beacon of hope and makes her want to do the same. Her smile brings out one in Morr from underneath all the angst she's felt.
"And how will you plan to do that?" she asks, eager to hear of her plans. (She thinks she's talking about their world, about Orestes and his claims to make Solterra great again, about the danger that still lurks from the loose ends of Raum's regime. Because of this, she thinks of joining her on the quest and it's a new kind of destruction that sounds invigorating. It could give her purpose and forget about the woman in gold - maybe, for once, for once)
Around them, the fire had grown, surrounding them both in a perfect circle.
