DELILAH EVERGARDEN
"The Gods have forsaken us."
She has forsaken us. It’s all lost, broken, ruined! A riot has begun, but not in a city- no, it has begun inside of her. A sadness runs through her, one that can’t be contained- bordering on rage.
Pain wasn’t an option. Only wrath.
Flames. Unholy, filthy flames. They consumed her, ate at her skin, pulled and pinched and burned.
Before she knew it, she had wandered off- in search of her child, in search of her lover. It was a repeat- she had felt this once before; The loss of her first lover, killed in cold blood- even with the trauma he put her through, she still loved him. But Renegadeanthems.. Ren was the love of her life. She spent months tipping the scales on how much she would do for that man. His gentle voice, shaky paws helping her up when she fell- even with blind eyes, she knew he was a kindred soul, tormented by the past just as she was.
For many weeks- nearly months, Delilah wandered aimlessly; just as Ren had when she had disappeared before. The smell of him wrapped around her, the faint scent of Ren upon the scarf she wore. Her mask, dangling idly from the horns atop her head- decorated with tribal markings of tree branches and cherry blossoms. The smell of cherries clung to her thick scales, the pink blossoms left behind made her head dizzy with thoughts seemingly left unspoken. She needed to see him.
But she couldn’t, and so Delilah returned home, bigger than before and much, much skinnier. Relying on only fish wasn’t doing her any good.
Before she knew it, the dragoness had climbed over a fallen tree and let her claws dig into the mud below her.
This is home. It always has been.
Even if Morgan and Leroy, and Arrow and Ophelia and Stockings- and.. and Malphas..
Even if they were gone, this was home.
”I’m home..” Ever so soft came the voice, sullen yet the gentle air of a mother remained. Always remained.
