IT MUST BE LONELY
when you're up there looking down
He hasn't budged , it feels like . Hasn't moved from a stagnant position ever since gaining a crown that was heavy with the sins of the past Sovereigns . Stained red and cold , resting upon his head like the weight of the world . Gaining the leadership of Solterra had done nothing . He had been met with push and pull at every turn , with resistance no matter how hard he waved his olive branch .
Now Leviathan can hear a cry of challenge . The old him would have risen up without hesitance , but now he merely feels the crumble of the last of his resolve . He had wanted to leave anyway , hadn't he ? Wanted to step down , stay down . Belong deep under the ground with the caves and roots that had been his home so many years ago . Perhaps take his family with him , a nice secluded place he would no longer worry about .
Large ears fan forward and he steps with heavy thunder , the peer of yellow eyes over his head as Enyo snorts softly . She's massive , seven feet tall and seven feet long , and she's grown so well under his care .
" You may have it , Jarek . The crown has worn me to my bones with the resistance that came , and I've poured too much of myself into this land with no return . So long as Solterra thrives , then she is yours . " His voice booms as he appears within sight , blinking slowly as he draws such even breaths .
He never thought he would see the day where he wouldn't rise to a challenge . But he is so very tired .
