REXANNA
the penumbra
The Ascended have become the Penumbra’s new family. And with it, shared interests, shared time frames they can be out and about, shared goals (in a way). But much to Rexanna’s regret, they’re nearly all men. All, aside from Wessex, one of the two Queens of the Hollowed Grounds – a woman who Rexanna has kind of adopted as an elder sister in a way. She doesn’t know if the Wraith thinks that way too, it can be a bit hard to read her at times. But she does, all the same.
It’s this thought that has her seeking the blond Ascended out, knowing just how difficult it is to find the woman, until eventually she decides to begin heading home before the sun rises. Much to Rexanna’s luck, she manages to find the Queen, approaching on quiet feet despite knowing Wessex likely hears her. The woman has been Ascended far longer than she, and the Penumbra is still trying to get used to all the enhanced abilities. Regardless, the sun hasn’t quite breached the horizon, and the dark haired woman feels comfortable enough to approach, sapphire gaze glancing over Wessex for a brief moment before looking to the decrepit building.
“Looking to make a new home?” She asks with a tilt of her head, coming to stand beside Wessex with a quiet smirk on her face. “I don’t blame you for not wanting to stay in the Manor.” She adds, a bit of a snort leaving her nose as she looks up at the building as well.
It feels almost symbolic, they’re so alike and yet so different, and Rexanna finds herself liking the company of the Wraith, more so now that she’s Ascended.

because you, like rome
were built on ashes
and you, like a phoenix, know how to
rise and resurrect
