DEVOTION IS A BURDEN, SOMETHING CARRIED ACROSS SHOULDERS that couldn’t hope to be strong enough. it burns behind your eyelids, ignites a spark in your chest  tell me, what is it like to serve a dying king? what is it like to know that once his calling is fulfilled, your own call means nothing?  ). DEVOTION IS A BURDEN, ONE THAT WILL AMOUNT TO NOTHING when the gods take what is theirs, when the price is paid and the light returns. it crumbles beneath your fingertips, turns to nothing but dust in the wind. what’s the point? you know they wonder, to dedicate yourself to one who hasn’t dedicated himself to you? but they don’t understand, they couldn’t: it’s pleasure and pain  /  happiness and sorrow  /  an oath sworn between those too young to comprehend the true weight of their words  they don’t understand, can’t understand that your devotion is more than a job, more than your duty: it’s who you are  ).     /     not for personal reblog.

                   HIS  BACK  IS  TURNED TO  hera  and  that  brings  him  more  relief  than  he  would  care  to  admit .  she  can’t  see  his  eyes  (  none  of  them  can  anyway ,  not  when  they  are  always  hidden  behind  the  jaig  eyes  ) ,  now  clouded  and  hazy  with  SORROW  rather  than  due  to  their  being  made  of  glass ,  and  she  cannot  see  how  his  grief  emphasizes  the  lines  of  his  face .  his  pain  goes  UNSEEN  by  all  those  around  him  and  that  is  his  own  doing ,  but  kanan  knows  hera  need  not  SEE  him  to  feel  how  he  aches ,  how  his  heart  skips  a  beat  every  so  often  as  if  it’s  hesitant  to  continue  its  constant  march ,  as  if  it’s  TIRED .

the following prompts were taken from the novel deathless by catherynne m. valente, an american novelist & poet. the novel was loosely based on the tale of koschei the deathless, incorporating other elements of russian mythology, & setting it against the backdrop of the russian revolution. feel free to change the pronouns / prompts as you see fit, but be warned – below the cut, it’s quite long !

Mother of dragons, Daenerys thought. Mother of monsters. What have I unleashed upon the world? A queen I am, but my throne is made of burned bones, and it rests on quicksand. Without dragons, how could she hope to hold Meereen, much less win back Westeros? I am the blood of the dragon, she thought. If they are monsters, so am I.

we all burn. we burn in fire. we burn in blood. we burn in dreams. and it never ends. dreams never end. you would not want them to. not if it means forgetting. you can never forget. you, who are all that is left. so, remember: we are born in fire. again, and again. you would live it all, again. no matter how much it hurts. when it hurts, you know you are alive. and you know that as long as you live, they live. and when you die, they die. YOU ARE THE INHERITOR OF MEMORIES.        616 natasha romanova / est. 2015 / written by kells
