WESSEX
the wraith
she tied you to her kitchen chair
she broke your throne and she cut your hair
she broke your throne and she cut your hair
The idea that anyone had to declare her lady a Goddess instead of recognizing her power for what it is really does strike the Wraith as funny and she grins down at Arialla, purposefully showing the tips of her fangs.
“So tell me,” Wessex says, quite pointedly, feigning innocence and feigning it poorly. Lying is one thing, but playing the idiot has never been in her wheelhouse unless it’s to rob drunk men. “If she isn’t a Goddess, why couldn’t the others, in all their power, kill her? What would you call someone who can’t be killed by six other Gods?”
She lets the question hang in the air, declining to answer it for anyone else who might be listening.
“She only wants to live and let live. We’re not the ones plotting genocide, and there’s no moral high ground you can take to justify that kind of violence and death.” Staring down at the redhead, Wessex begins to draw the show to a close. “Because at the end of the day, if you were in danger or asking for help, I’d probably still help you.” Even if was just to hold something over her head. “And that’s the real difference between you and me.”
“Now unless there are any other questions…?”

and from your lips she drew
the hallelujah
the hallelujah
