Summary
His serpent heads taste the air, but there is only smouldering resin; the flavour of lilies just below, packed in close, suffocating, their petals like a blanket stuffed into his mouth. A garland of them over his eyes, so that he cannot turn, cannot steer his serpents away from the gaze of this god-child, his kin. Cannot see how Miquella glimpses over his shoulder, following the path of ruin that has led them here. How his own words settle in the dark like seeds where they will grow.
*
From a shattered kingdom, a young stranger comes before Messmer, smelling of lilies and gold, with a story to tell and a favour to ask.

Summary
Where is it written? He will burn that, too. This should be a world that no longer chains them with rules, with proclamations and prophecies. They have torn that world down, an old curtain from the wall, and unrolled their mother's glorious tapestry in its place.
So why is her blood pooling in his hands?
*
Those who have never birthed something from a forge think all fires burn the same. Messmer and Melina know better.

Summary
“Hypocrisy doth not suit thee, my golden brother,” he leans towards him, looking him straight in the eyes and he, the perfect son of the Goddess, feels pierced, like a butterfly – no one has ever looked at him so, with hatred, with disgust. “Nay, in truth...” he corrects himself, and smiles a broad smile, his teeth white and his gums dark, almost purple, “it doth suit thee perfectly.”
Godwyn is the perfect golden child, until he is not.
