Kingslayer [Game of Thrones] ✓

Violent Utopia

"The faceless God has ordered this man back to Braavos and the House of Black and White." The green eyes look into blue ones, both of them filled with pain. "Jaqen.." He hums, running his fingers through her long hair. "I will wait for you so please.. come back to me." Her words are almost desperate as tears well up and drop down her cheeks. Never before had she let anyone see her cry. But right there and in that moment she no longer possessed the ability to hold back her sadness. "This queen can find better men that will be able to give her what.." "I don't need just anything or anyone! I need this man. This faceless man that can make my heart skip a beat when he simply brushes his fingers through my hair. I do not care about what people deem proper, about what you believe I need, I know it best. I need you to come back to me! No matter what it takes! No matter how long it takes! I will be waiting here for you." She cups his cheeks and brings her lips to his. "I knew you'd have to leave some day. And I knew it would hurt but I'd rather feel this pain and be overflowing with happiness and love when you are with me than have a meaningless marriage with some lord. I will say it again. I will wait for you, so please return to me." The blue eyes have softened and the two lovers share another kiss, holding onto each other tightly. "A man promises he will return, no matter what it takes." She smiles through her tears. "I'll look out for you every day."
Painfully slowly they part and Medusa Meer for the first time in her life feels true heartache as she clutches her fingers to her chest. She hadn't even gotten to tell him she was with child. Clutching her hand to her stomach she soothingly caresses it. Nothing would ever harm their child. She would make sure of that and if that meant killing every single person in this world she would gladly slaughter them all herself.

The pain was tearing and barely endurable. She was writhing with pain. But she didn't truly mind it. All she cared about was the health of their child. No one but a single midwife was with her in her royal bath where she lays naked in her tub, her eyes clouded with tears. A scream leaves her lips but is joined by another one. Relief fills her chest, only for a bit as she still has to rid herself of the afterbirth. "Your highness. It is a boy!" She doesn't feel pain anymore. Only overwhelming happiness and love as she looks at the little boy, skin red and eyes pale blue, his hair a red tinged brown with a single light strand in it. She smiles, waving away the midwife. Like father like son. It had truly been his original appearance she had seen. "Hello my love. Welcome to the world.", she kisses the little head and gains a toothless smile. Feeding her child for the first time was strange yet looking down at him it didn't matter. He was the most precious thing she had. A piece of the man she loves, she brushes over the soft tufts of hair. "Your name, my son, is Avalon. Your father is the most wonderful man I have ever met who gave me all I could ever wish for when he held me in his arms and I will do my best to hold you like he would until he comes back to us." Tears drips from her eyes and she doesn't know whether they are tears of happiness or longing.
A small hand closes around her finger and she smiles through the tears. Her voice is heavy as she parts her lips. She had never before sung for anyone, despite writing songs being a passion of hers since her earliest years of youth.

"On the verge of no return, why'd you keep fucking it up?
Don't wanna have to bury you, but nothing seems to get through your skull
One day the only butterflies left will be in your chest
As you march towards your death, breathing your last breath
I hate to say "I told you so," but look how the bruises show

Tell me, how's it gonna feel without my arms wrapped around, wrapped around you?
Bet it feels pretty real when your skin starts to peel from the bone
You were dead to the world, now I'm dead to you
Haunting your own house, nothing to lose
How did I let you sink your fangs so deep? Ah
You know you can't breathe on your own.

Past the point of rescuing, why'd I keep pushing my luck?
The hole I wore into your soul has got too big to overlook
One day the only butterflies left will be in our chests
As we march towards our death, breathing our last breath
I thought we had a future, but we ain't got a chance in hell

So tell me, how's it gonna feel without my arms wrapped around, wrapped around you?
Bet it feels pretty real when your skin starts to peel from the bone
You were dead to the world, now I'm dead to you
Haunting your own house, nothing to lose
I let you sink your fangs so deep, ah
You know I can't breathe on my own
How can I breathe on my own?

Oh, oh-oh-oh, the sun is setting on our love, I fear
Letting our loneliness out into the atmosphere
The tide is turning on our chance to turn it 'round
I never thought I'd see my fingernails fall out
Love isn't in the air, love isn't in the air
Love isn't in the air, love isn't in the air."

The song is sorrowful to say the least but it makes little Avalon fall silent with awe in his mothers arms. Smiling, Medusa kisses her sons forehead, leaning back on her bed with him resting on her bare chest, protected by her warm hands. Slipping into exhausted sleep she dreams of a happy future.
