Melita
they should have checked the ashes
of the women they burned alive
of the women they burned alive
And then – they were out.
The woman, or…something, rang out and Melita couldn’t quite fathom what was real or true or anything at all. Save for the advice – for her eyes instantly went from Amun, then to Maeve, then back again, eager to whisper, mouth something, without the Ascended knowing.
Because she knew what some of this meant, and that they had a race on their hands.
Instead, she took the cue for what it was worth, and later might stretch into an eternity. For now, they were safe, secure, and ready for the next bout. “Sorry for shooting you,” the honeybee nodded and whispered to the antlered, tentacled being – but maybe she shouldn’t have been so sketchy. "Thank you for the information."
And with that, she gave another nod to the sovereign, before hastening off.

because it takes a single wild ember
to bring a whole wildfire to life
to bring a whole wildfire to life
