Ashetta
THE STORMBRINGER
Everyone was ready. Ashe soothed her lightning down to its quiet hisses and snaps along her arms, dancing between her fingers. Every nerve was alight with the energy, on fire without pain. Alive. Her heart thundered in time with it as she affectionately bumped her shoulders between both Remi and Ronin . She nodded to Amalia, to Deimos, dropping her gas mask down around her face.
She hadn't let herself think of where she was going until she stood at the top of the stairs. She had gone up last time, and deliberately. Now darkness pooled below, winding down into the earth. Her racing heart took a new kind of energy, sparks rippling across her shoulders like the bristled hackles of a wolf.
This was for Ronin, she reminded herself. For Remi, and Aoife. For their family. She took a slow breath, glancing at Ronin who perhaps was the only one besides Kalt to ever bear witness to her struggles underground. One look at him, the brother pulled back down from the stars, and legs that didn't feel like her own carried her down into the dark.

this is where the end is written, every battle scar forgiven
howling in the wind, tingle in your skinthunder and the rain as the storm rolls in & destroys it all
Are you ready for the landfall?
