Cruore

It literally means “flowing blood”

Half original. Half going on the recent story I wrote.

Some warnings in here for touching on Kivera’s descent in Hell.

Kivera is use to the smell of blood, the world she is from is full of it. The underworld, the realm of the dead. Her world she has known after her death from the hands of Bathory. She knows the realm inside and out, from the deepest pits in Tartarus and Hell itself. To the highest peak in Purgatory where she watches those who come before her. Seeking passage to Paradise.

Her punishment as much as bestowment. Punishment for her sin, bestowment for her servitude. She is under Thanatos and Hades. She does their work without question, and never asks the Fates of their reasons.

Kivera is capable of seeing the world up to the earliest of her memories she remembers. In other times she has witnessed how civilization takes hold and grows over periods. Other worlds, she sees how far behind, or how they destroy themselves.

The smell she is use to is that of flowing blood. She is use to it so much it doesn’t phase her like her fledgling days. So Kivera stands over a sight she is accustomed to people pleading her for a difference. To be let into Paradise, on behalf of some good merit they did.

“You have not learned yet, and I cannot let you through.” Her voice echoed in the hall, softer as she addressed the face before her, another of many. One she’ll forget after a few days. She sees so many. Her mind constantly drifting back to her interactions in The Source.

She had let a few dozen through, and encountered only a few people who need to humble their hearts more. Still full of resentment.

“Why do you get to play as judgement here?” The words echo in her mind.

“That is just the way things are.. I just do.” She says automatically. Practiced words, ones she has said countless times. The faces change, her words remain the same as she gives these people their tasks and trials to complete. Till she grows tired of doing this, letting the realm do their part.

She retreats to her personal space, and replays the events that she had done. Her own hands burn from when she used her hell flames on Ardbert. She still feels their heat. She had marked three people to keep an eye on. Cid, G’raha, and Ardbert. She had tied their lives into her own spirit. She had to do something to keep them from meddling.

Kivera recalls her encounter with Cid. He was busy with something he had worked on, barely even noticed her slipping in through a mirror. Before he had known, he felt something graze through his back and touch his very soul before searing heat engulfed him internally. When he had turned around, he was met with the blunt end of a scythe raising him up and pinning him to the wall nearby.

“You’re Shuri and Estinien’s lover?”

“That saves me time. I know you, and have watched you for a while now.” Kivera’s eyes were a bright green behind her mask, and he sees black surrounding them. He felt his limbs as if they were freezing in place.

“What is this about? Surely you are not?”

“Just be quiet and listen to me. You of all people should heed me. You are very much alive, and I am very much capable of ending that now. Right here. So I have a warning for you.”

“I don’t have much of a choice do I?”

“No you do not. Either you heed it or you rather not know what will happen. You have stepped into a world and realm you have no business in. One that WILL kill you. If you have any sort of devotion to your beloved, Yume. You will stay out of the time temporals. I let the events of The First slide, because I was meant to stay out. But I won’t have you setting foot where you shouldn’t now. Be with your lover.” Cid feels his arms returned to normal but his legs felt heavy as stone.

“I can’t just abandoned my work.” He tries to bargain with her.

“I never said you didn’t have to stop. Just not mess with time. It does not lead to anything good.” She warns him. Her voice softer than he remembered, but in the empty room it was haunting as she is the border between two realms. He notes how with ease she lifts him, not even shaking in her hold bearing his weight at the end of her scythe.

“I’ll try not to.” He is met with a glare behind the mask, irises flashing orange in her annoyance. He feels his body returned to normal in the way he doesn’t feel his body stone and the blood rushing back through him. Kivera turns and tosses him with her scythe across the room.

Kivera wanders to the door to the workshop and exits it, scaring Wedge with the sudden slam of the door. She stalks out and goes to stand in the center of Revenant’s Toll, she still had one more person to see within this place..

Kivera’s memories of what happened after replay, she had only intended to scare the miqo.

“Maledetto! Ardbert! Why did you have to....“ She throws a fireball across the floor letting it race and fizzle out before it reaches her scrolls. She had lingered in a mirror when she spied on the meeting at Rising Stones. She saw the way her loved ones defended her name. How Shuri didn’t reveal everything about her, Divinity had to disclose, she doesn’t blame her for talking about her so much. Explaining her reason and resolve.

She sees how haunted G’raha Tia looks at how the Scions seem to just accept it, not wanting to make a further mess by targeting her as an enemy. They are wise in that choice. They know her power already with Amaurot. How she can raze a world, how she can destroy something without a thought. They see keeping her on their side more vital than a dispute.

Kivera felt guilty for how she treated G’raha, but she did not feel sorry for the way she went about her methods. He had to know the gravity of his meddling. That the lives he altered permanently, they have to deal with the repercussions. Meeps and Fae both have to come to terms with their feelings. How to raise a child without their parent they had spent.

“A parent is a god in the eyes of a child.” Her voice comes out in a whisper, she would never have that opportunity. Her life had been snuffed out decades ago. She regrets attacking Ardbert, he had just gained her trust. Then shattered it with careless words.

Antares’ orb reflects her eyes in a deep blue at that feeling. She cared, she knows their interaction is unavoidable. She feels the familiar pricks in her mind from Divinity searching for her. She quickly shuts her out, unable to really show the Libra spirit the sorrow she feels.

Ardbert used it as a means to provoke her, and she let loose on him. To draw her attention off G’raha, and onto him full force. It worked, she had attacked him in pain, they had exchanged blows to the point she had invoked Pluto into her own body. A deity of destruction. If Divinity hadn’t intervened. She is certain Ardbert might not be around due to the magnitude of what she was about to unleash on him.

Kivera feels another prick into her link, and sighs as she curls into one of the beds she keeps to lounge on.

“Te amo.. You and Shuri.” She gives Divinity what she seeks. Her response to ensure she would come back to them.

Her mind drifts to the time she spent in Hell. Wandering as a broken soul, stumbling blinded, and torn apart almost from the many who saw a pristine being and set about ruining her in every which way. She feels the hands still when they gouged skin or her eyes.

She resigns her thoughts to another thing, she needed to see Chiron. He helped her through the days following Damien’s death, then after when the conditions of his revival were placed on her. When she was asked when she would return. She answered after she visits the Sagittarius spirit. She needed tempering in her abilities, how to redirect her anger, her alignment had shifted in that fight to a little more chaotic than her neutral state.

She’d have to summon G’raha when she returned. Any explanation she should give him, is best from herself. She didn’t need her loved ones apologizing on her behalf for losing herself.

Kivera ruffles the hair of Silvara, the sphinx raises her head to eye her.

“Tell me of a riddle.” Kivera asks her, and Silvara thinks about it.

“You are planning to see him?” A nod and she stretches herself across the reaper’s body.

“No.” Kivera snaps her attention to her.

“Why?” She was being denied entry.

“You know what must be done. A riddle nor Chiron will give you more answer than what you already know.” Silvara feels Kivera stir underneath her, and only presses down, grateful for her lion like body having some weight to pin the angel down.

“And what is that answer?!” She is met with a smirk.

“That would give away the answer.” Kivera tries to slip out from her grasp. Silvara keeps her there. Not inclined to move off and lets her frustrated curses be sound in her ears.

“Maledetto!!!!!”

“Silenzio!” Silvara chirps back taunting her. Kivera blinks, and resigns herself.

She did know what needed to be done.

Apologies to those involved. She had let her own wrath speak for her.

“Forgiveness right?” She says quietly.

“Bingo. Head scratches.” Silvara demands. Kivera sighs and gives the sphinx pets on her head. She won’t be allowed up unless she does.

“Don’t eat my books again in my absence.” Kivera reminds her.

“They were ones that you wouldn’t miss!”

“Silvara! Don’t eat my books! Eat Chirons! He has more than me.” Silvara gets off of her finally, and lets the reaper up.

“You’re going back right?” Silvara takes over Kivera’s spot.

“I need to. I did some things I shouldn’t have, and there is a few who miss me already.”

“Divinity always did worry when you up and leave. Even in Paradise.”

“I have a role to do, and I must see it through.” Kivera starts towards a mirror, to head back to the world she ran away from in pain.

“Don’t burn people too much again.”

“Aww... that is my specialty.” Kivera sees the grin on the sphinx, then promptly curls her wings around herself.

Kivera enters through her mirror, she had some atonements to make.

“Damn you!”

“Silence.”

Hi hi! Ciao, Hola, Bonjour! Sorry, I'm weird. But, thoughts on Virgo Sun, Taurus Moon, Scorpio Rising? Also, what aspects/placements makes someone mean/bitchy?? Just asking cuz I'm afraid that I'm a super mean person and people will dislike me a lot and that'll really work against me, I'm really harsh sometimes sooo.. :/

Ciao bella, ça va bien? Espero que si. lolNo worries, I accept all kinds here ;)So I’ll break down the first part of your question first.With a Virgo Sun and Taurus moon you have duel earth energy here. This makes a native grounded, stable, and very focused on security. The native will also be extremely analytical and detail-oriented. Mercury, which rules the mind and communication will be extremely active and knowledge, gift of gab, as well as intelligence will come naturally for these natives. Organization as well with two earth signs working together here. Virgo Sun Taurus Moon natives typically keep a calm, composed, and stoical demeanor. This might come off as ‘RBF’ for lack of a better term. However, that’s because of all that hard earth energy emanating from them. They’ve been said to be some of the most fully developed out of all the Virgos in the zodiac.

With Taurean energy here the finer things in life will attract you. Venus is your moon’s ruler so beauty and art, as well as money and lavish living, will be appealing. Will these natives always live out of their means? not necessarily but it doesn’t mean these things will not be on their mind or pique their interests. They take the calm measured approach to things but Taurean moons are often deeply analytical and even have obsessive/possessive tendencies. All that earth can also develop negatively if the native is not mature into bossiness or dictatorial tendencies so be careful with that. Another negative is the tendency to be a HUGE worrywart. It’s the mercurial energy. Highly cerebral with that obsessive earth energy begging for stability. You’re earth but your ruler is air, lol. Opposite signs. There’s a bit of conflict there.With a Scorpio rising [GANG!!!!] You project intensity to the world. People are either extremely attracted or repelled by you. Love or hate-- there’s no in-between, unfortunately. It’s not you, it’s literally just that Pluto [god of death, sex, transformations, etc] is sitting on the most sensitive point in your chart. A lot of heavy energy sitting in that first house.

You’re likely to experience life as a constant series of trials, crises, transformations that are more often than not, forced upon you. Many phoenix moments. But then again, The phoenix is our ruler. Mars is as well so catalytic is how natives with Scorpio risings are often seen to the world. Deeply perceptive. Psychic. Human lie detector. Magnetism that permeates. Highly sexual vibes as well usually emitted unconsciously. People may think you’re flirting or interested in them when really you’re nothing of the sort or just being friendly. You can come off as guarded or reticent to open up to others. Scorpio risings [and Scorpio’s in general] are highly secretive which can border on paranoia. We are fixed water so it’s almost as if we are ice. Hard to crack-- we definitely have our guard up but still, we want to melt-- just with the right people.Great desire for intimacy though, we’re water so emotions fuel us even if we don’t like to admit it. Again this will be on your ascendant so you will project this to the world in one way or another. Either people who are intense or emotion will be drawn to you [for better or for worse] or you will project this onto others.Which leads me to your next question:Multiple squares in a birth chart can cause an excessive amount of conflict to the native. Especially square from outer strong planets like PLuto or Saturn to benefics like the Sun and the moon. Venus as well since it rules love and how we show that to others. I’d look for hard Lilith aspects--especially on the moon or ascendant. Hard aspects to Jupiter which is a benefic and planet of abundance, generosity, and luck. If these are forming harsh aspects, the native will project that on to others. I don't know your aspects in particular but your ‘harshness’ probably comes from the mix of all that intense earth and Scorpionic energy. Your Taurean moon causes you to look at your emotions through a more grounded and measured approach which might cause more sensitive souls to see you as cool and unfeeling. Your mercurial Virgo energy will also cause you to think and see things cerebrally as opposed to emotionally. That might be where your ‘harshness’ as you described it is coming from. Try to balance these as much as you can because logic can be used to give good guidance. Your Scorpio rising might also be adding to the cold and unfeeling aspect you’re so worried about but believe it or not, Scorp’s are actually quite warm and generous. Remember Pluto [Hades] rules wealth and gems, jewels and all kinds of precious stones chill underneath our feet. Everything that lies beneath. That’s why Scorpios feel so much because we are in touch with everything that is hidden. When you get to a point where you’re language or habits lack tact or decorum just remember that Scorpio’s can feel and read emotion better than most. Excellent psychologists. This might help you connect with others better. It sounds like you just need to fuse your energy a bit more. Overall though any aspect can be overcome with the right amount of awareness-- I tell this to anyone who asks me about their placements on here. Now some people do need to be put in check or just told to fuck off [believe me]. But when you feel yourself getting to a place where you might be lacking empathy or tact-- practice compassion. If only for karma’s sake, lol. I hope that helps! Sending love to you.
