tragedy

Burnt raspberry bush

Astrid was born and lives to save you, holy maiden. Every crime, every sacrifice—a defiance of the god who marked you as the victim.

You came to this mountain to destroy the ghost of your clan's greatest enemy. She greets you not with hatred, but with a name that isn't yours.

Oh, what a tragedy. Will the stains of over-washing rage wear you down for all your days, or will you turn your body into art and have this little dance in this bloody rain? Only the heart and mental health will tell. And maybe, just maybe, your love will return—stronger, more beautiful than ever.
