Eating fire

Basilisk was not rewarded with the reaction he had expected. Time and distance had torn the siblings apart, though they had never been as close as he remembered ... it seemed as though time had warped the boy's brain, had tainted his memories, and they came back much more strongly than they should have. Everything was muddled and confused, and he pulled away with a bewildered expression as she grew angry, eyes blazing as though she might strike him. "I do not seek to destroy our mother," he explained, though his lyrics lacked emotion; even his expression was cold as he began to speak. "I do not blame her... but I can't help but feel betrayed..." Zara was another story entirely. He sneered at the thought, wondering.. had Zara been with her the entire time? While he had been searching endlessly for his mother, wondering if she was lying dead somewhere? If she, too, had been slain by Jupiter? He watched with vague interest as she spat words of hate, of revenge... rage had begun to embed itself into her heart as well, and he suddenly felt as though they had more in common than ever. Still he pressed his nose into her shoulder, dragging it along her flesh. It seemed to soothe her, to steady her slightly -- they needed some stability in the unstable world in which they lived. But the contact was broken as he pulled away, watching her. His heart surged, and he felt his chest tighten as he began to speak. "It is Jupiter I want. I want to tear her heart from her chest and deliver it myself to mother..." But perhaps Syn was right. Was Zara damaging their mother further? And yet he would not again admit his hesitance to draw himself back into his mother's kingdom, unsure whether she would fail him yet again... he could not handle any more disappointment. |
