she is like the sun to night
Fire and brimstone, heat and metal, forged and reshaped, reworked, a testament of strength and diligence acquired, required, after years of practice and experience. Lena could admire it from afar; her own inner flames eternally intact, but she had no ability with the hammer, with the smashing of power and might into bits of movement and motion. She was more akin to blossoms and the sun, following the pathways of light, listening to the beck and call of creatures needing aid. They all had their places, and perhaps that was beautiful too.
Always abrupt and quick, Luciana beckoned her in, and the youth practically skipped into the sanction, eyes going to the soot now across the older woman’s features, and thinking nothing of it. Common place, a symbol of work and fortitude. Her smile was still ignited and lit, never dimmed. “One of my feeding buckets met a hatchling’s flames.” Dragonfire, no matter the fledgling, had a strength all its own – and she lifted the metal bucket, now sporting a massive, warped hole at the bottom of it. She could always get a new one, but that would take some time too. “Think it can be helped?”
