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 catch?" she echoes, for a third time. "Drama like this," she says to the man who first asked the question, "People have strong opinions, but if you don't give a fuck -" Shrugging, Wessex turns to the vaguely familiar redhead to direct the rest of her answer.
“Now, you only get monster status if you Ascend. Preferring the Voice to the Old Gods without Ascending still gets you a one-way ticket to Mort’s Realm. Which…” her gaze falls to Adam, who’d returned as an Ascended. He might know what it’s like, if it exists. “There are some people who can tell you what Mort’s Realm is like, if it even exists. If it’s worth it or not.” She shrugs. “I’m just offering alternatives to people who might want some help.” And she is - no one here can say she’s pressuring anyone to take that big step towards Ascension.
Scratching idly at her chin, Wessex hums at the rest of it. “As for playthings… Got any evidence to back that up? If you don’t think the Old Gods are playing the people, you must be pretty naive. We’re all pawns in this war.”

and from your lips she drew
the hallelujah
the hallelujah
