Winter is coming.

Women like you should not be brutalized by love. You are generations of blood and fire, you are all war. Take your knees from the floor. Don’t look at him. Something violent and brutal and ugly is howling inside of you. Act like it.

I can be feminine in all my rage. I can be girl and woman, and claws with teeth. Watch me burn.

- Venetta Octavia

Your heroes are dead And so I guess you are the hero now

You are a doll servant pretty thing SOLDIER

“Why does destruction taste so sweet?” The Queen wiped a blood smear away from her lips, and grinned as she broke his crown in half. She never needed a King.

We learn to hold our heads as if we wear crowns.

I've been dreaming of this for so long. I just didn't think I'd get here at the price of my humanity.

Maybe we exist to bleed,

Maybe we exist to burn.

You love him despite the burden of Atlas resting on his shoulders, and he loves you despite the death still clinging to your lips, and the blood drying at it's corners. What a pair you make. The greatest lovers in hell.

girl,

with an accent of blood

who speaks in foreign tongues

whose vowels are the sound of metal clashing.

warrior,

with fire in her veins

and armor beneath her skin

who crushes the earth beneath her feet.

immortal,

hair streaked with daggers

and iron filled her lungs

each breath invitingly toxic.

princess,

with lips made of glass

and a voice cut from glass

features born from thunder and battle.

warrior,

a grin made for war

and eyes flecked with ash

striding, powerful, into the arms of death.

A warning to the people

The good and the evil

This is war

To the soldier, the civilian

The martyr, the victim

This is war

It's the moment of truth,

and the moment to lie

The moment to live

and the moment to die

The moment to fight,

To fight, to fight

Only bare your teeth if you are willing to get blood on them.

My mother was a genius

My father commanded respect

When they died they left no instructions

Just a legacy to protect

Some people are meant to fall in love . . . but not meant to be together.

Maybe our destiny is decided.

We're trapped in it.
