Awakening Part 4 - Tumblr Posts

(Mun speaking again! More thoughts on Liberty’s interactions with the clan, particularly Demona before she revealed her true colors)

Ohhhhh this hurts 😅

The sheer ELATION Liberty felt seeing her again, believing her to have been shattered all those centuries ago. The feeling of joy at reunion was mutual, and to add onto that, Liberty would have wanted to share all she’d learned so far about the city, the new people, the new structures, her new name…

Sadly circumstances prevented such things, and I would like to believe Demona would have at least heard her out. Would she have agreed with any of it? Probably not, but at least she’d get a little peek into the enrichment her young companion was experiencing.

I do think she genuinely means it. She may suspect that she might never convert Goliath to her way of thinking, but she's been so long without gargoyles, and though she may care more for her vengeance than for her people, that came to be because she believed in the cause of helping her people at one point. It's the purpose she tells herself she's working toward. And she is so lonely. I do believe she truly hopes that she will have some of them by her side by the end of this all. There is still love and warmth in her heart, they just are nothing compared to the centuries of anger and fury and hurt and her need to burn the world down. In this moment though, she gets to play at a version of herself she, at least at one point, wishes she could recapture. These moments with her and Bronx almost makes me sad that she doesn't at least get to keep him at her side or something else that wouldn't necessarily know better.
