MELITA
If Melita’s excitement and exuberance for the upcoming provocations was too much, she didn’t really notice; too busy with her eyes on the horizon, on bleached contortions that might’ve been bones, on the traversing and crusades lending them to the other side. The honeybee didn’t have to prove her own merit and courage – that had been instilled long before and would likely remain for her lifetime, inherent and as natural as breathing, running headlong with ruthlessness and ferocity, daring anyone in her wake to try and stop her. She maneuvered forward and onward and into bliss or chaos, intending to thrive in either; a restless, intrepid little beast with fire and acrimony hastened to her existence. Some could’ve been due to ignorance, but the youth had seen too many things, had experienced too many wounds, too many scars, to be waylaid by the probability of danger, wasn’t a daunted morsel, swaying in the breeze – she was the wind, she was the sky, she was the earth, intending to race across each contortion as if it were hers to wage and wield.Lily permitted her to join, and the girl’s halcyon spun smile reeled back to the entertainer, eager and fervent and ardent, eternally ready to strike out on her own with no questions asked, no inquiries ignited, a provocation in her steps, a dare on her lips. Melita took the woman’s offered hand, swinging it along their arms with a hum on her breath, the nervous intricacies in Lily’s pulse instigating the croon under her tongue, along her throat, coating the moments in merriment instead of ongoing dread. She extended one leg in an exaggerated stride, the devilish tethers of her smirk now settling along her lips, chin lifted in such a radiating bout of defiance that no one would be surprised if some demon sprung out just to wipe it off her face. Fangorn growled, rumbling forward as if naught was untoward or worth worrying about. “Let’s go!” Melita conjured, the hum still there, still poised, still a radiant bout of fire. “What are you hoping to find?” Her inquiry sizzled in between croons and murmurs, intending to keep the woman calm as they ventured into warrens and the unknown.
