AISHA
good lava, we all know you wanna
Fire was a constant thing, everywhere she went there was a flame, lighting and warming and being the sun. And every fire was different, blazing brighter or dimmer, licking the air softly or ecstatic. It took on many shapes, but in essence was all the same mixture of gasses and elemental energy. But the fire that formed in her memories was not like the others at all. It swallowed, chewed at skin and turned homes to soot. This was another beast entirely.
And the memory of it eased the pain for a moment, a resentment so hot that it replaced the fever. "The Khan retreated after they'd finished, I wanted so bad to watch them burn instead," she huffed, "but my regiment was sent to protect, not give chase. So I went in and tried to find survivors. There weren't many, but we took them back to the capital as refugees." Aisha's bitterness devolved, a child took form, grasping tight to her fingers.
"They were so grateful, they adored us. But it didn't feel like we deserved it, I hadn't saved them all you know," she leaned back out off her elbows, "I always pictured myself killing that Khan captain who had raided the village, things don't really turn out the way you want." She took another swig from the glass Deimos had so generously prepared. The drink was not so generous, it was just a tasteless ice water that seemed to freeze in her mouth before going down.
