KIADA
i dream of gods and monsters
The Harpy doesn’t want Rexanna to own up and apologize about her mistakes, she just wants to make her see how wrong things had been. To see that men and children, rocky relationships, painful pasts, can still make you a better person. And the more she stares into the pale face of her mother, scanning her sapphire gaze with her own icy ones, she realizes that she is that story. She has learned the only way to make your way in life is to be true to yourself – and for Kiada, that means swallowing the demons within her and becoming a better version of herself.And yet she hears Rexanna’s promise and it falls on deaf ears, a grimace overcoming the girl’s face. She hears the defenses, and ignores them. She can’t prove it to her, and she finds no willpower within her to have her prove it. It doesn’t matter, not anymore. Rexanna had been a cruel mother, not in the ways most mothers were, but in the way of never being there, not caring or unwilling to help. She listens to Rexanna speak of the rocky relationship between her and her father, and she looks away. “I hope you care less about appearances now, but it seems you still do.” She snaps, gesturing with a scar flecked hand to the dress that Rexanna wears as if it’s all the proof she needs.
Then, Rexanna speaks of Calstron, and Kiada sighs. “He died though, and Father was too busy fucking other women while you were bearing his little royals, unless you forgot?” Grinding her teeth, she fights the urge to shift into the vulture and fly away. The venom piercing and seeping from every pore the more she hears Rexanna. But when she hears her says he can’t bear children, she shakes her head. “Yeah, you thought that in Helovia too and then you slept with the Seer.” She retorts, standing back to put the weight on her heels. “And then you had, what, eight kids after that? Do you still think of a fairytale ending with love or do you just sleep with anything that gives you attention here too?”
The apology falls once again on deaf ears.
