Shadows mix and merge beneath the crimson sky, coalescing to form those perfect trysts of light and plethora danced and merged to form that perfect darkness this realm knew so well. There was naught left but the ruins of those bitter memories; perhaps some too had been good, though days and years were long it was hardly like she knew what happiness was... perhaps she never did? There was nothing like looking on the crumbs of an empire, the unholy and divine knew of her conquests, oceans of blood sweeping over the land. But, was she the only one remaining to perceive such greatness or lust for power? In the end did it really even matter, for who was there to grace it or embrace it, besides the ghosts that haunted the darkness behind those cold, dimmu-stygian flambeaus? Perhaps it was more disturbing this barely caused a flinch on that perfect pale facade, emotions unstirred as those eyes scathed the abandoned vestiges, untouched, reserved, poised. A soft muted scoff emitted twixt those crimson-arches of lips, sweet breath stirring the elements while long rivulets of ravenesque tresses flowed, shaking... shaking in disbelief of all that this family had seen, reduced to nothing.
It would have been an insult to ponder back on innocent days, before these falls and divisions of blood and heart; when these foundations rose higher than the tempestuous peaks of thunderous clouds, obsidian spires that challenged the celestial charges of Heaven, dug its roots into the bowels of Hell...refined heritage, proud banners and flags blew in the sultry clawed winds. Again she shook head, as if permitting those images to fill her mind, as if that could bring it all back, bring a sense of self back, anything other than this ‘nothing’. It was one thing to want, to take, to have- it forever leaves one with wanting more, and taking more until emptiness is all within the hand. Not anything left to claim victories over, to have that lust rush through the ichors enticing vehemence to surge like a drug- sanguineous raptures excited her passions, the more she had, the more she craved. She had the fancy titles, the status of Queen of Ayenee, Aoyn, Tenaria- and for what? To be back here at the ruins of a land long succumb to destruction.
Features cast down, eyes hidden by the rivulets of those night-stained strands of silken satin, lost to those thoughts. Leather-clad tourniquet, swathed in the darkness billowing around her like an amorphous aura, yearning to ‘touch’ her, yet, even she was a stranger now to this place. Everything that had been, surrendered to the void gripping throughout her svelte form; the beast of The Nameless clung to her, a ravenous parasite that knew her every intimate thought, she was a part of IT and IT a part of her. Pure void, Right hand lingered towards one single strand of hair, left boot scuffling at the dirt before her, concentration transfixed- caught in the webs of these sentimental flaws. Flaws? This lavish beauty had no flaws only that of evil in its utmost perfection. At least that was what she told herself, it was far conceited believing in that than fanciful idealisms; because God himself knew; happiness was not meant for her. Perhaps she did not deserve it.
Chthonic eyes scanning over the remnants of broken, shattered stone, the evidence was there that the scavengers of the Wastelands has long raped and ravished anything that may have possibly remained. The gates has long been torn down, monolithic iron gates which one bore the glyphs of power that no Demon, Devil or God could tear asunder- weak, inert, somnolent. Why had she come here? To leave some tormented mark to any who may drag themselves back her countless times as she had. All had abandoned these walls; all were just as guilty if they had emotions to be so, Should the angels play such anaemic harps, winged choirs adorned with mellifluous harmonies to pluck upon the heartstrings in replica of skeletal bows to this nostalgic sympathy? Could such a black heart be moved as She, the one whose love comes just as rapidly and fervently as Death to this rapturous synchronization of memory? Returning to these blood-stained lands... {chronic}... {incorrigible}... {habitual}...- predictable in its erstwhile wars waging decree, clan against clan, God against God- fighting the same ‘old’ battles.
Thoughts mingled with sheer amusement, the ground had turned to rust from the sanguine raptures long suffered; statuesque tilting to the side, admiring the screams heard from the souls lost and damned to these cursed shores. Darkbane had raped, ravished and pillaged all who dared raise arms in opposition, unfortunately now once again this place flourished beyond the tarnish of plague, the death of the earth crumbling beneath her feet. Despite the protests of her very quintessence- the information relayed itself like tomes of history; some Dark Lord from her past had claimed these wretched forsaken lands as his home... his catacombs to rebuild armies and thus conquer all. “How ambitious!” she thought darkly to herself, the coquettish smirk forming over rubicund apertures of pure, voracious covetousness and hunger. “Ambitious indeed, but... Oh, my Dark Sweet Lord, not as ambitious as I!” the words rolled over those sanguineous arches in a voice so honeyed, decadent- possessed of the temptation of the serpent that had lured Eve to the forbidden fruit; to pluck it from the tree and sup its sweet nectars. Beguiled was that perfidious insinuation of derision, to have every advantage, little to lose; it mattered not, save for that salacious, saccharine rhapsody for demise.
