what tried to destroy you
didn't have the strength

It wasn’t dread or consternation that flowed over the Sword; but a singular snap of foreboding that hadn’t been present in such a distinct manner. Not for a while anyway. He clenched his jaw once more, persisting in the venue of thoughts and machinations, adhering to the information readily given and granted. Right. And then none of this would matter anyway. Because it would brew and start and fall apart, with whatever they’d planned and asserted gone by the wayside simply in the name of retribution and reclaiming.
But the news didn’t cease there – the finer definitions beginning to fill in the gaps of information. Gideon and Sam maiming one another. Edy, Amun, Wessex, and Nate assaulting and laying siege to Stormbreak. He wasn’t surprised by the Flood – the man was a living interpretation of poor choices and idiocy. A tower toppled. Innocents rendered gone. Nate dead. A revolving door of mistakes, cataclysms, and lives lost in the barrage of frustration and acrimony. For those yearning for their survival, and casting the Old Gods in belligerent lines, they certainly weren’t doing themselves any favors.
The hypocrisy does not shock me, and he shook his head, causing more of the water to flow in a widening cascade now, so that some concentration and focus didn’t go straight into that cold, frigid anger buried deep in his chest. He took a long, slow, deep breath, watching the elements bound down into the well. Do you think there will be consequences from the Grounds? Does Ronin seek retaliation? Had the siege been sanctioned by the world contorted by Ascended? Or is this where they all resided now, biding and waiting their turn for vengeance? And what of Sunjata?

still you stand
sturdy and smelling of smoke
