A Chill Crawled Up Jades Spine. Her Gaze Lingered On The Scar A Few Moments Longer Before Meeting Scorpias

A chill crawled up Jade’s spine. Her gaze lingered on the scar a few moments longer before meeting Scorpia’s again. Her memory of that day was hazy. Always had been. She was much too young to have many concrete memories of it aside from her mother’s lifeless body and her own screaming. She didn't even remember crying out for Scorpia. But that’s not what bothered her. It was the way the truth conflicted with her own knowledge and experience of Tir Asleen.

“What happened that day?” Jade asked softly. It took her a long time to muster up the courage to ask. Because she knew. She knew that it would change her forever, change her perception of the place she called home, destroy what she’d always known as truth. It’s what she’d been afraid of since their first visit to the Wildwood, what she’d been avoiding since Scorpia revealed their connection. She didn’t want things to change. But change is inevitable and she’d been changing since she stepped outside the Barrier.

@dutyxbound → FROM JADE TO SCORPIA : prompt ↳ “ how did you get this scar? ”

scorpia's skin was littered with scars. a warrior from birth, they came with a lot of stories. she was proud of her scars, wore them like a badge of honor.

her eyes glanced at the scar in question. she remembered that one as if it were yesterday ... the day she lost her sister. she allowed her fingers to trace the raised skin, her eyes studying it carefully before answering. ❛ ❛ i got that one from those that took you. ❜ ❜ they came in the night like ghosts, and then had the audacity to call them the evil ones. ripping family from family, she would never forget.

❛ ❛ and i used it as a reminder that i would find you again ... but in the end you found us. you came home all on your own. ❜ ❜

Just got hit with a huge dose of anger and grief, so looks like it's a Willow while I work day.
