DEIMOS
the fire can't touch me
for I have burned too many times
for I have burned too many times
The evening came early with winter’s balm, and by the late afternoon the sun had set long and low, a prism of colors eventually dimming to stars overhead and evening sprawls of inky Stygian. Deimos might have observed them, had they not been consumed by other duties, and by the time those hours pressed, the habitual, restless notions began beating their drums within his veins.
Promising to meet with a few others tomorrow over discussions of storage and LongNight provisions, the Sword arranged a meeting time with Evie, and then permitted one another to escape via alternative routes – one to grab refreshments, the other to snag some portions at the barracks, and he’d eagerly chosen the latter, long limbs stretching into massive strides. As he wound his way through the familiar grounds, nodding to straggling soldiers packing away their things or working on one more set of motions, he eventually maneuvered to stand at the wall of armaments.
By the time the Evergreen arrived, he’d already formed some mischievous plan in his mind. “Weapons today,” by way of announcement, glancing over his shoulder to see her reaction. “Want to play a game?”

the sea can't harm me
for I have been drowning all my life
for I have been drowning all my life
