If I were to ever live under the Goddess Inari's belief system, her own code...
...then I'd never have as much fun as I do.
After all, no one could have foreseen the Tome of Ataraxia falling into my claws. With the vessel of Hel no longer a physical manifestation, the book should long have since disappeared with the goddess.
Instead...
"What do you have to say for yourself?" Nimue's barking order causes me to glance up with my head tilted to the side. I'm on trial for a crime I didn't—oh wait, come to think of it, I might have...can't quite remember though.
"Haven't I shown my best intentions? Did you not forget everything I did back in the days of Aeon?" My voice comes out in a low growl, though as this is a 'dark magic' affair, I'm being judged before the Succubus Queen herself, and not the Hybrid Queen, Acacia. Apparently, they have enough to deal with keeping the rest of the species of the world in check.
Dorothea is supposed to take the throne soon...her twenty-first birthday is on the horizon.
Nimue's amethyst eyes flash with authority before she states, "That was then, this is now. The actions of the past do not define oneself in the present," she pauses for but a moment before nodding, "therefore, your judgment shall--"
Visions before my eyes shift, prismatic crystals encircling around my body as my fur sparks with life and fire. A rainbow of hues encompasses the walls of the palace, Nimue is taken aback while the rest of the warlocks and witches gasp in unison.
Vexy then broke free, the Tome creating a whirlwind of--
What? What the hell is this?
Moving and hearing what happens next, it's completely as if...but, I'm me, my thoughts are mine, how can...
My fire burns brighter within my chest, my fangs, claws, they lengthen. The Tome of Ataraxia hovers before my eyes, the wind casting the others against the walls of the palace. Nimue's voice is undiscernible, though I can smell their fear.
Vexy reached for--
Stop!
I grasp my head, shaking it as I attempt to displace the voice ebbing closer to my core. It's almost as if time is freezing, stilling softly, and with a sharp exhale, the world shifts around me.
