THE MOUNTAINS WILL SHAKE

N/A · 05-10-2013, 11:56 PM

Desdemona would hold no sympathy for the power starved wretch before her. She had cried for Kaien but the behemoth wondered how much of it was for show. The dame seemed ever the bitter sore loser that Desdemona deemed she was. She had not gotten her way, so now she would throw a fit, snarling and snapping like a misbegotten child. Desdemona had tried to make peace with the dame, had offered her, despite her utter lack of respect, a place amongst Tortuga, but the dame would not adhere to such a request and thus left Desdemona with no choice. She would snap, her words biting and bitter and Desdemona would sigh. Had she not already spoken as such? Had she not already stated her opinion? This conversation would go nowhere. The dame was furious because she was shaking things up, because she was making a stand, because she was taking action.

What did she hope to gain from this? An inkling of her pride back? Regardless she would be banished from Tortuga. Such blatant disrespect for no apparent reason other than her demotion... she wondered what Kaien had seen in the hostile bitch to begin with. This was exactly the wolf Tortuga did not need. brash, brazen, hostile, quick to temper, and blinded by rage. Desdemona had merely leveled the playing field, made each and every last member of Tortuga a maggot. They had to weasel their way back up the food chain to get into a rightful place as a second... Morphine had merely been handed her golden ticket, because Kaien had not wished to fight her. Complacent she had been, but now when the shades were darkened and the pretty titles unshed, Desdemona realized what she should have long ago. Morphine couldn't give two shits about Tortuga... she just wanted power. No longer would Morphine be seen as something worthy in her eyes. In her eyes, Morphine would be nothing more than a shrieking pup who did not get her way. Unworthy of her time.

She would not respond to the pointless taunts the senseless words, it wouldn't do her any good to do so, Morphine had chosen and she had chosen to betray Tortuga. Desdemona's head would rise along with her tail, showing her dominance. She would not play this child's game, no matter what she said Morphine's hatred would spew. There was no stopping insanity unleashed. "From hence forth you are banished for the lands of Tortuga. If you touch Tortugan lands you will be put to death. I will not have your hatred poisoning my home. I want peace for Tortuga, nothing less and nothing more. Kaien understood that, but it seems it matters not what I say. Your stubbornness and your pride have gained you nothing. Even if I was to fight you, what is it you hope to gain? You have no home, your pride has exiled you. The very thing that has wrought dishonor upon you, is the only thing you fight for. You are nothing more than a traitor, exiled and disgraced. I have been in far too many wars and I will not partake in mindless bloodshed. You will gain nothing. I will gain nothing. Nothing but more pride in the case of your victory. Blood in the case of mine." Her words were cold, laced with ice.

She would dismiss Morphine, with no more than a flicker of her skull. "Throw your tantrum, snarl your discrepancies, I have a pack to tend too. You may be willing to tarnish your body and sacrifice your life, but I have things to live for, a purpose and a family. You will not waste my time nor my blood on a meaningless battle." With that the ivory dame would vanish back amongst the trees, she had no need to hear Morphine's response, she already knew it, more aggression, more hatred. Desdemona had a pack to worry about. A traitor whose thirst for power outweighed her loyalties, was not worth her thoughts.
