#stunned with what violence looks like and sometimes it looks like a beefy dude who eats only protein (and dragons :') )

◦ 「 ☆ 」 —— his presence tasted of salt and ash , sweat pouring down his face . humans couldn't handle the heat , they couldn't withstand the flames they created . and yet , they torched the land they rested upon so negligently . they cannot control their own fires .

this fire had already burnt for three days throughout the city .

they had tried to wake sothis countless times to no avail . and one by one they left her side to fight in the fronts or attempt to flee with their families . so she stayed with hers , hidden behind a potted plant , dehydrated and sore .

the human they feared was broad like a market cart , his legs the width of a basket . he didn't walk , he fell with every step he took upon the stone floor of her mother's chambers . heavy . he was a very heavy human . his face looked of war with its scars and wrinkles of exhaustion -- the tales she'd been told of the human lands were full of war and destruction . . . could this person be war ?? mother had once told her that humans were foolish . . . but not so foolish as to bring war to their doorsteps . had war snuck its way inside while she slept ??

the immaculate one studied how he stood over her mother's resting body . hunched . for a moment , he looked as if could collapse on top of her and rest at her side , tucked under her wing . mother always tried to hold humanity's hand , hadn't she ?? always worried with teaching them right from wrong . the child had almost missed how he raised his blade to her mother's throat .

almost .

for as long as she yet lived , she never wanted to forget his face : war's face .
