Starfall

ASHE They may say, "You're too small, you're too young to do it all," But you're a giant on the inside. They may say, "It's not enough, leave your dreams collecting dust," But there's a fire that you can't hide.     ”RONIN!”    Percy had been dismounted, the stallion huffing breathlessly behind her as Ashe vaulted over the side of that crater, sliding down on her side down its steep wall towards him, her heart galloping in her chest. She had seen the flash, seen the great fall of his star, and she had come running upon her unicorn. It worked - it worked it worked it worked. The gods had honored her sacrifice, Mort had honored it, Safrin,  and that was his star that fell --    Ashe wasn't sure if she was laughing or if she was sobbing at the sight of him, and she swore she was going to explode with all she felt. She didn't give him a chance to stand, she dropped down beside him and would crash into him with her arms thrown around him, uncaring that he was naked, fuck that, he was alive!    ”Fuck you for all that shit crab-kicker!” Her words were strangled and she was smiling, but he was here. Alive, breathing, heart beating, not in the sky, she didn't have to miss him or hurt for his loss. ”It fucking worked,” she half breathed to herself, hardly able to truly believe it. Break through the barricade You gotta keep on fightin', facin' giants, unafraid Born to move these mountains out of your way
