Idk If Those Are Terms Hekate Herself Would Use But It's Definitely How Her Student Internalized It! - Tumblr Posts

the princess nods , letting the gesture turn into a bow appropriate for the nature of their stations . then she straightens and says , ❛ i've come to ask for a discussion on previous teachings , not to learn something new . ❜

she steps closer , mismatched hands clasped in front of her as she approaches the fireplace . ❛ when i saved lyssa , my verbal component was calling on a previous oath that i did not hold fulfilled. she swore herself to me , that she would die protecting me if she had to . she is now insisting on a second oath , though i hold the first unfulfilled . if i were to accept the second , would it replace the first , and undo what pledge she had made to me ? and what would her fate be ? i worry i may stumble into paradox magic if i continue ; or worse , riddle spells . ❜

riddle spells , while powerful , are only powerful until solved , at which point it undoes itself . paradox magic is unable to be solved , meaning lyssa may be damned not just to a long life , but an inability to die .

@faunisms requested a starter from HEKATE for MELINOË!

Hekate did not move from her place sitting by the hearth, her hand still gently scratching at the head of her hound as they bathe in the fire's warmth.

An equine eye gazes at her from the side, watching the princess approach before closing.

"What brings you to me, princess? If it's teachings you want, then I'm sorry but I cannot give it."

Lately, Hekate had been striving for Hekate to gain more independence. As such, she had decided to begin things moreso abruptly. Of course, if it was on behalf of her father or in need far beyond her means, she would attend - but sometimes a little fear and panic did the mind good.
