MillyNaysien's Symphony
#1

There comes a time
In every symphony
Where there are rests to be experienced.

You do not hear them,
But dear reader, I assure
You, they are there.

You experience them the
Same as when you experience
The notes,
The allegros and the
Adiagos.

When everything goes
Silent and the orchestra
Appears to be slumbering
Like a great dragon.

Then much like a
Dragon’s roar, it awakens all at once.
Whether it’s played at
Fortissimo or Pianissimo
It comes like thunder.

The years after Baleford Bridge
Came tumbling down was the rest
In Naysien’s Symphony.

Tell me, Osrona:
Are you ready for the next movement?

Perhaps, I wasn't the one ready for the next movement.

It wasn't supposed to be like this. I wasn't supposed to be the last one left.
Every single one of you were older, more experienced, stronger, bigger.
But death claimed you, one after another.

Opal.
You were dumb as shit for signing that. I'm your brother so I'm allowed to say that.
I really wish you hadn't. Maybe you'd still be here. Maybe you wouldn't have caused
us so much heart ache and suffering. But you aren't. I'll kill that Marquis, don't worry.

Veero.
Even if you beat me up that one time, and insisted you were superior to me? I looked
up to you dude. You were my big brother, and I didn't have another. But you let your
pride lead to your death. Or maybe you were searching for it after Opal, and after
everything happened. I don't know... But I do know I miss you, man. Seriously.

Pandora.
You were the first to race in for my defense. Don't think I don't remember that,
even if I was out of it. But I kind of dropped the ball for you, huh? Didn't I?
I didn't mean to. I thought we'd have enough time, I thought Mikhail and
them would be able to rescue you, when I knew I wouldn't be able to.
I'm sorry.


How many lives is a single soul worth? This is just one of the things I have to keep in mind, and grit my teeth, when these things happen.
I keep telling myself this, over and over. That I did the right thing in not marching on Osrona, on not trying to slip into the city.
I didn't sacrifice a single Ebonblooded soul to get my sister back, because they're all worthy of living, I'm responsible for them.
I need to protect them. To look out for them. To choose what's best for their lives - for all of our lives.
It isn't so much that only certain people are my family, for despite being related by blood?
Everyone in the coat is my family.

I get it now, Pops.
I just wish I had gotten it sooner, rather than later.

How long has it been since you first became a thorn in our side?
I know precisely when. I was thirteen. It's not like I kept track or anything.

But I watched, time and time again as Veero and you butted heads.
How you stole my brother from me and whisked him off to Osrona.
How you defeated a man that I considered unstoppable to do it, too.

Sure, he was returned safely to us, but it didn't last long.
It was only a few years later that you took him away from us permanently.

The pain was raw and visceral, and while I had felt it plenty times before as
I watched the older ones drop one by one, all to stop Nyx?
This was different. That was my older brother.
He claimed I was inferior to him.
I looked up to him.

I wanted to kill you. I wanted to offer you on a silver platter to Naysien in revenge for Veero.
I'm not a difficult person.
You came after me, time and time again. To arrest me, to offer me salvation through the stars.
Fuck your stars. Fuck your salvation.

I was ready for you, as soon as I heard you threaten those who flock under her wing.
They're children. Just like I was a child when you took my brother from me.
So I said to myself, never again.

And though I could not fight you directly, I did manage to win you.
To win the right to kill you myself at last, and to offer my amazing Dragon patron the ultimate gift.
The murderer of Veero Naysien.

But you just don't stop taking from me, do you?
At first, when I realized what happened - how I would now never get my revenge, I was aghast.
You take, and you take. You took my brother - twice! You took my health - twice!
Surely you couldn't take my revenge too, right?

But you did.
You snapped it right from under my fingers.

But, slowly and surely I have come to a conclusion.
You were obsessed with me. Me, me, me.
You were willing to upset the Voice of Moxtli to capture me.
You were crazy, you were losing it.

I put you there. I pushed and pushed until I lived in your head rent free.
And when it came time to pay the pied piper?
You'd rather kill yourself than die by my hand.

In the drug fueled haze I find myself in, I concluded a single thing:

At least I watched you die.

For Veero. For Naysien.
