“I Was Born Of Song And Story, Of Spell Or Speech With Power Of Oracle.”

“I was born of song and story, of spell or speech with power of oracle.”

DESTINED:  The  sender  recognizes  the  receiver  from  a  dream,  a  past  life,  or  a  vision.

there  was  something  unsettling  in  the  woman’s  gaze  …  too  sharp,  too  knowing,  like  she  was  seeing  through  skin  and  sinew  to  something  older.  emilia  didn’t  flinch  under  it,  but  she  felt  it  all  the  same.  that  quiet  pull  in  her  chest.  like  something  long  buried  had  just  opened  its  eyes.

❝  you’re  looking  at  me  like  you’ve  seen  a  ɢʜᴏsᴛ,  ❞ 

DESTINED:  The  Sender  Recognizes  The  Receiver  From  A  Dream,  A  Past  Life,  Or 

she  said  softly,  the  corner  of  her  mouth  lifting,  not  quite  a  smile.  her  voice  was  calm,  but  edged  in  a  subtle  tension,  like  a  wire  pulled  tight. she  stepped  a  little  closer,  the  candlelight  catching  in  her  eyes—brown  and  warm,  but  watchful.  searching.  ❝  or  maybe  just  someone  you  thought  you’d  already  lost.  ❞  a  pause,  and  then,  gently  —curiously  :  ❝  do  i  feel  familiar  to  you?  ❞ she  didn’t  ask  with  disbelief.  she  wasn’t  mocking.  if  anything  …  she  almost  wanted  to  hear  the  answer.  because  deep  in  her  bones,  where  memories  had  no  names  and  time  had  no  shape,  emilia  felt  it  too  — the  echo  of  something  once  lived.  or  dreamed.  or  promised.

lucrezia guides emilia's bloody hands under a faucet / water source and begins washing them clean.

the water was too warm. it made the blood feel thicker somehow —  less  like  something  to  be  washed  away  and  more  like  something  that  had  sunk  too  deep  to  ever  really  leave.

Lucrezia Guides Emilia's Bloody Hands Under A Faucet / Water Source And Begins Washing Them Clean.

emilia  didn’t  speak.  her  eyes  remained  fixed  on  their  hands  beneath  the  faucet,  the  red  swirling  down  the  drain  in  ghostly  ribbons.  lucrezia’s  touch  was  steady,  reverent  even,  like  a  priestess  performing  a  ritual  rather  than  a  someone  scrubbing  sin  from  skin.  ❝ you don’t have to do this, ❞ emilia  murmured  finally,  her  voice  low,  almost  hoarse.  not  from  pain.  from  restraint.  ❝  I'm not some frightened girl in ⁿᵉᵉᵈ ᵒᶠ ᵃᵇˢᵒˡᵘᵗᶦᵒⁿ. ❞ but  she  didn’t  pull  away.  because  for  all  the  blood  she’d  spilled,  there  was  something  strangely  disarming  about  lucrezia’s  hands  —  so  calm,  so  sure,  as  if  she’d  done  this  before.  maybe  she  had.  maybe  that’s  why  emilia  stayed  still.  why  she  let  her.  because  only  someone  with  her  own  share  of ʀᴜɪɴ could  understand  what  it  meant  to  do  terrible  things  …  and  still  want  to  be  touched  gently  after. her  gaze  finally  lifted,  meeting  lucrezia’s  with  a  quiet  defiance  —  and  something  else  flickering  behind  it.  not  regret.  never  regret.  just  …  weight. ❝ are you always this gentle with ᴍᴏɴsᴛᴇʀs? ❞
