and when i breathed - kratos - Rhy - 06-01-2015 ![]() and when I breathed, my breath was lightning She tears across Beqanna, riding a wave of electric through the air. As the crow flies, the distance to the Tundra is so much shorter. As electric flies, it’s even faster. As she tumbled through the rip in the realms, she realized quite quickly she was plummeting to the beach and likely death. If not death, at least broken bones. But as quickly as she thought it, the electric formed beneath her, solidifying and flying beneath her. Really, it seemed to materialize in front of her and disappear behind her, moving her along all the while. Like an endless slide, some wild rollercoaster. She laughs as she leaves the beach behind. The real beach, and she knows this because age no longer weights her down and all her powers are back. Plus some. She didn’t leave the realm of the death unscathed, but rather, with the ability to become the dead. It is strange, and she shifts between ghost and living as she rides the electric to the Tundra. Vanquish had said he’d be here, alive. Though she needed to see for herself. Before she went back to the Jungle, before she found Lagertha. She needed to know he was okay. She needed to tell him how proud Vanquish was. No is. He’s still around, just not where everyone can see him. Oh, but she can. The electric slide beneath her leans toward the ground as she approaches the ice wall, dropping her lightly on the frozen earth in front of their entrance. She is tempted to race into the kingdom rather than wait, but she knows that she isn’t welcome here. Even to find him. Instead, lightning cracks over the sky, and she waits. Because if he’s here, if he’s okay, she knows he’ll respond long before she sees him. rhy the electric lioness of riagan and rayelle wooo, this sucks, but i did a thing at least RE: and when i breathed - kratos - Kratos - 06-14-2015 ![]()
Kratos the electric titan of vanquish and lyric RE: and when i breathed - kratos - Rhy - 06-17-2015 ![]() and when I breathed, my breath was lightning She isn’t surprised the his storm of a response. He wouldn’t be pleased. First, because she had gone when he had told her to stay (ah, but she’s an Amazon, she listens to know one but herself). Second, because she had succeeded where he did not. Third, because he would be worried. The third one she hopes, but does not know. Would he really worry about her? Did he care for her that much? Or did he love her for the lightning in her veins? For a while, she had loved the lightning, not him. She had loved the ability to touch him, but he had been something to wild for the girl her father had raised her to be. But slowly, surely, she grew to understand that she was more than that girl. Kratos helped her understand that. The quest helped her understand that. Her sister and her parents and the sound of static at the end of the world. Everything together had changed her, shaped her. She finally understood Brunhild from all those years ago, and the words ring true now. You are amazing. She wasn’t full of herself. But she was amazing. She was electric and claws and teeth and now death, all wrapped into one. He comes, and in his fashion the electric drips from his mouth and his teeth go to her chest. He bites down hard, but she doesn’t notice, or simply doesn’t care, because he’s real and alive. Vanquish had been right. Which means Lagertha is all right too. He keeps stalking around her, a predator with his prey, nipping at her as if she isn’t alright. He’s the one covered in dried blood. What took you so long? he asks, but it’s a demand and she doesn’t answer right away. He’s still prowling, going to nip at her neck again. She flickers and disappears for a moment, coming back but in a form that isn’t corporeal now. “Stop it,” she says, spinning to face him again. “Just stop. For one minute.” She turns corporeal again and presses herself against him. She tucks in beneath his neck, too short to wrap herself around him. There’s no electric, no claws, just them. Because it has never once been just them. And she’d like to know how it feels, because hours ago she wasn’t sure she’d ever have the opportunity. For all she knew, Carnage had left Lagertha and Kratos to die at the end of the world, inside the mouths of langoliers. She pulls away and faces him after a moment, after he’s asked what happened and finally admitted that he was worried too. She closes her eyes for a moment, both content to be back in the world of the living and not quite ready to think about the realm of the dead. But then, after a moment, she speaks. “We came back with Gail. But Beqanna wouldn’t let her though. The beach sort of, broke away. Took us to another realm. To the beach. Where all Beqanna’s dead are. Our traits didn’t work, and we were dying there.” She pauses. There’s so much to say, and yet only a few things that matter. “I found my parents. I haven’t seen them since I was a filly. I don’t think Kora knows. And your Dad found me. He’s the one who got me back here.” And then she falls silent, waiting. Wondering how he’ll take all that. rhy the electric lioness of riagan and rayelle RE: and when i breathed - kratos - Kratos - 07-23-2015 ![]()
Kratos the electric titan of vanquish and lyric RE: and when i breathed - kratos - Rhy - 08-05-2015 and when i breathed my breath was lightning For a moment, she understands what her parents have felt for so many years. Whatever love exists between Kratos and herself is different from the kind of love her parents share. Theirs is pure and beautiful and endless. Even in death, they stay together as they had in life, two parts of one whole. Kratos and Rhy are each very much their own whole. They are more like a sunrise and a sunset. They exist together and in opposition of one another. They are made better by the presence of the other. Together, they are more powerful. Together, they push the other to be better than ever dreamed of when they go their separate ways. rhy the electric lioness of riagan and rayelle ![]() |
