When everything and everyone
Becomes my enemy
Jiao had never been the most pious or spiritual Fae, but even she felt the loss of the Mathair. It had simply always been there, a pillar of life in the Greatwoods that stabilised everyone and everything around it. Without the Mathair, it felt like everything in her life, in the lives of all the Fae, was vulnerable to attack.
Dressed in dark mourning colours she had gone out with her people to pray and sit around the tree. She was not skilled in healing but she felt it was important to see what happened - her ripped wings meant she could not fly so she sat a distance away on a rock, ready to observe.
The Ascended had done this, so she had heard. That name kept coming up again and again, and they were swiftly building up to villains in her mind. Why anyone would want to destroy the tree just to open a door baffled her; could they not have found a way through the storms or worked with nature instead of destroying it?
Waiting to see what the humans would say but not wanting to agree with any of it, she curled up with a shawl wrapped around her shoulders and waited.
