Well then.

The month of Guardian came and went like a beating: brutal and cruel and over faster than the lasting pain it inflicted. Now, it's Drakonis, and the goal is a return to something resembling normalcy.

Athessa can be found studying and taking lessons with Ser Marcus in the library or in Enchanter Julius' office, snooping around Kirkwall, and trying her best to stay out of trouble around the Gallows. Her late night hypothetical musing via crystal has all but ceased, and gone are the days of icing the floor to skate on socks.

Maybe she could do with some cheering up, or a good tussle.

cw: rape mention

[sulahnan]

What is he?

"He's a monster. A man. A cruel bas with enough money that he thinks he can own people," A fresh well of tears pools in her vision, blurring everything. Her breath hitches, voice cracks, lip quivers. But it isn't sorrow. Safe with Deimos it isn't even fear, not at the surface. It's rage.

"He's... He raped me. I was fifteen and he had his servant steal me off the street and drugged me, poured wine down my throat, and then he--"

She catches the awful sob wrenched from her throat with a shaking hand over her mouth, and it takes a moment before she can speak again through clenched teeth.

"I couldn't let him do it to anyone else. I couldn't let that girl go through that."
