If i see the light

The woman's question surprises Jupiter with its naivety, with its innocence. Mind clicks at the opportunity presented by this blind loyalty but she suppresses the urge to rush the switch from the woman being a follower of Isardis... to an apostle of her own. Soft smile touches her lips and despite the thoughts lingering on her mind, it is a genuine one. The most minute of laughs, merely a minuscule huff through her nostrils, departs from her. "Yes, I do." Tone is fond, but not overly so. She puts slight emphasis on that 'do'--he took victory in his fight to the death and still lives. And has likely moved on to to a more deserving "The majority of this land think that anyone that fights is a villain," she says. It comes naturally now, this analysis of Alacritian psychology. Isolation gave her a hefty amount of time for thought. "They preach peace but peace won't defend the things they love." A pause. Gaze trails away. "Isardis fought for things he loved. And things he believed in. And they hated him for that." Perhaps to others those things may have been extreme to fight for at times but every step he took secured the safety of those that he cared for, as far as Jupiter knew. The compliment is appreciated but it slides past her like water breezing from oiled feathers. She learned early on to not be too swayed by them and the trait had gotten her far--it had kept her out of the sexual reaches of many, and at times the trait had lured a select few closer. "We didn't get to meet often," she responds evenly. Jupiter likes to believe that he thought at least somewhat fondly of her but cannot be entirely certain with how few times they encountered one another. Each time had been pleasant, though, and that's all that she knew. "There is room for you here. Miss...?" Jupiter searches for the pale babe's name evenly, patiently, before continuing to answer her next inquiry. "A pack of those who will fight for what they love will always grow powerful," she says decidedly. "My purpose is to rule out Ludicael until the end of my days in the same way that I raised it from its beginning." She still has not decided yet on what will happen to Ludicael with her inevitable death--perhaps if it is strong, she will offer it to her son. Maybe. She is uncertain and only the future will aid her in her decision. "Ludicael will always be powerful." |

crawl. crawl more. drag your hands and knees across the destruction left in my wake to the ends of the earth. there's a green light of a shining star in my sky and there will not be an obstacle i will not overcome until i cup that star in my palms. the void in my will has been filled with purpose. so crawl. crawl more, love.
because i like it when you're on your knees.
