Revenge

[birthrightgreen]

What of it? I lived my life for it for nearly four centuries. Revenge agaisnt my father. Revenge against the man who cut my mother's throat. Revenge against the men who raped me as a child. Revenge against all men who did such things to women. Revenge against women who committed atrocities on the few men I loved. Revenge against the Realm that would have destroyed my home. Revenge against the family who didn't recognize the treasure in their midst.

It's defined me, and I realize that. Shaped me into the woman I've become and woven itself deep into the patterns of my self. I don't know how I'd tear it out, and I don't know that I want to. It gives purpose and passion and while there may be few, or even no, slights that bear the need for vengeance now, it stands waiting and ready for anyone who'd think to harm my child, or my family.

What else is there to say?

I think You said it rather well, Surreal.

Your a shinning sword ready to be worn at a moments notice should anyone have the need. Your the protector, of all whom you love.

*smiles* Well said.

*smiles* Thank you.

I like that image.

*soft smile* You are quite welcome, Surreal.

How are you feeling lately?

[birthrightgreen.livejournal.com]

Better. The sickness seems to have passed at least.

Other than the actual delivery, that's the worst part in my opinion.

I had wondered since you seem scarce of late. I was hoping everything was going well with you and the baby.

All's well, or so Morghann has assured me. We've just been quiet, I suppose.

Morghann would know, everything is probably perfect.

And quiet isn't necessarily a bad thing. Its time for reflection and thought about things. Time for awareness that you will now have the love and awesome responsibility for someone who is so small and will bring out the tenderness and agressiveness within you.

*smiles* Have you decided on names?

[birthrightgreen.livejournal.com]

Yes, there's been a lot of that.

But no, no names yet. We haven't really discussed it.
