❝ spring maiden? if you don’t mind me asking, what was it like for you, getting the powers? ❞ she may not have gotten the fall powers, but — it still interested her to ask. / @vernoxi.
‘ what was it like ? ‘
terrifying . she understood enough about the powers , yes , but not enough to keep her sane through the process . ( she didn’t regret running . )
‘ i lost every freedom i had . nowhere was safe for me , i was constantly watching my own back - it was horrible , to be blunt . be grateful , kid . you aren’t near as young as i was , but … well . i’m sure you can imagine . ‘

‘ then you are LUCKY , my dear . not many have that choice . ‘
she certainly did not . from a … rough upbringing to a time when she cannot remember being anything but spring , vernal has had nary a chance to follow what she wished . her father was not kind , and she had not a mother . ( not until rae . ) she had twisted herself into knots to fulfill some sort of prophecy she hardly even understood until the chieftess had come along .
that was her only light in the darkness .
vernal had bent herself over backwards attempting to even survive on a dying earth , and it had all changed in one night . but even now , she has not the control she wishes . it is this , or certain death .
‘ cherish it . you will certainly live longer than i . ‘
