Moonspear i will take the sun in my mouth & leap into the ripe air

just a cameo for development!

just out of sight, the girl watches. she had not been called for, and yet she arrives none the less. she can not deny the part of her that wants her mother back, despite her anger, her betrayal. but as the woman opens her mouth to trade a woman, a living, breathing thing for her time spent here, something freezes and dies deep in her chest. 

no mention of her, only talk of wombs and children and women as if they are commodities. a brief rush of love for the queen when she speaks, only to fade away into the dull realization that she was never a daughter to the woman that stands just over there. a commodity, something gained, only to be discarded when she'd stopped being enough to have the woman stick around. 

wordlessly, she vanishes back the way she'd come.
