A boon set within mine mind, having taken the meager attempts upon the blood to bring me closer to those whom call upon Death. Burning violet behind my eyes that bring forth the same vision as I close mine tired lids. A titan of selflessness and kindness, standing to uplift those whom shall strike against Chaos. Against those who seek to bring low and dishonor the sacrifice of the Shattered Father.
A boon I am undeserving of, as mine body lie beaten and broken. Surrounded by the feeling of death so thick in the air, that I feel it tugging away at mine very center. Defeat. A taste so familiar upon mine tongue as is the blood that flows through me. Intimately familiar with that bitterness, that acrid sting at the back of mine throat. Such is all I can taste in these moments where I lose count of the movements of the sun and moon.. bitterness.
Compromised by foul forces, my mind wanders. Alone in this cavern I reside crumpled. Alone. Why must I be alone? Even in a city as grand to hold the will of the Jotun, I stood alone. Harsh gazes set towards me in manners that I have no rebuttal towards. Even in mine very own home, the one who brought me unto this world looks at me with disdain- constantly reminded of someone else I know not of. She always said my eyes were like his, mine father's. Unflinching. Unyielding.
Yet they are not as pure as the blood that flows through me is as tainted as her own.
Finally upon the eve of defeat, one set a boon upon me that made me feel whole. Made me feel worthy, for but a fleeting moment, to stand within the honorable Herald's presence. Words that shook mine vessel like thunder with each letter, the Herald spoke of a future that I may be able to finally be one with the other Jotun. Cleansed of the Blood of the Betrayer that roils beneath my skin.
Boils. Tears. Screams. Burns. Burns. Burns..
. .and I squandered that hope, that future, because I am tainted. Never shall I hold the true strength of Giant upon mineself- because of that envious and gluttonous son of Grimnir.
As I am collared and chained alone I can only wonder, if I die upholding the proper honor and virtue of a Jotun-.. will the Shattered Father, will the fallen Grimnir, accept mine soul as one of their children? Or will I only be left adrift and damned, as the beast that I am..
. .give no quarter. .
