Maeve
Her heart skips in her chest as Safrin’s hands tighten and she is gently urged to her feet, standing before her with shoulders back and chin up. Warmth spreads through her body, settling in the marrow of her bones and strengthening her further as she holds the goddess’s gaze, returning her smile with one of her own as the words are easily given. ”You flatter me, Safrin. I’m strong because of you.” She found this new confidence and ability because of her herald’s belief in her. The Nightshade might have been capable of it from the start, but Safrin was the reason she had a chance to grow at all.
She tilts into her touch, nodding minutely at her words, acknowledging the truth in them. It wasn’t just her life that would change should she die and the thought of leaving her boys behind is enough to almost draw protest from her lips. Before she can speak further, starlight begins to fill the room and it takes her a moment to realize it’s coming from her. A soft gasp of awe falls from her lips, hand tentatively raising to the crown that’s now nestled in her hair, casting an ethereal glow around them. ”Thank you, Safrin. For everything. We won’t fail you.” And she knew they would die for the cause of it meant keeping balance in Caido.

Oh your mouth is poison
Your mouth is wine
Your mouth is wine
The Nightshade
