!! tw for war and death !! I am a savior and a bully. I am a beautiful tyrant, a terrible salvation. A disastrous joy. A wonderful sorrow. Some have asked me if I consider it justice to carry out my duties, even in the worst of circumstances. Some say I am cruel, a despot. Others say I am kind and graceful, a hero. I am both. I do not apologize. A very long time ago and half the world away, two people fell in love, Alva, a nymph, and Mattie, a human. Alva had to give up immortal life for Mattie. Mattie had to give up a loving home, a happy life. Neither regretted it. The happy couple lived in the forest, in a treehouse, where they cared for abandoned children. Once, in a wartorn country, two people fell in love, Jodi and Cricket. Strong and able, Jodi had been drafted into the army and would soon leave. Frail and small, Cricket was working in a factory and had to escape the country soon, before the other army invaded. Their last meeting was at a small cafe, where they wept and promised to meet again. Their promises were not kept. Jodi was killed in battle and Cricket escaped to another country. Meanwhile, another couple, Indigo and Miles, were both in the army, spending each day under the threat of death. Both were madly in love with the other, but believed their love to be unrequited. Miles was mortally injured and sent home. Indigo stayed and fought longer, but was soon killed. In another country, farther away, Cirrus was a teenaged seamstress sewing a new coat for the child of the king, Saffron. Cirrus was desperately in love with Saffron and sewed love into the coat with a spell taught by the ancestors. As soon as Saffron pulled the coat on, Cirrus's love became known to the royal teen, and the two soon met and fell in love. Discouraged by their families, the two ran away and were never seen again. Many years in the future, two children, Sam and Kerry, were friends. They lived near each other and played every day after school. As they grew, Sam developed a crush on Kerry, but believed their love to be unrequited. One day, Sam broke down in tears at Kerry's house and confessed, to which Kerry replied (understandably shocked) "Well, of course I love you! I always have!" The two dated but broke up when Kerry's family moved away, and Sam never fully recovered. I am viciousness and compassion. I live on the battlefield and in harmony. I am a hundred different things to a hundred people: friendship, companionship, romanticity. I am fluid and changeable. I drive humanity insane and stitch it back together again with the golden thread and the silver needle. I am the source of the worst conflicts and the best resolutions. I am love. I do not apologize.
this has absolutely no pronouns in it and i used gender neutral names - you can read it as queer, straight, whatever :]
