I just killed Jessamyn.
Jessa is a character I love... Capri's mother, the last person to hold the title of acting Kithraya of House Tamra in defiance of the false Council. She's strong and sweet and affectionate and noble and she loved her husband and daughter, she was the role model, the idol, for most of Shayara.
And she just handed her daughter to her husband and laid a geas upon him to run, to bring her to Sanctuary, because she knew that the Hounds were after her; she did what she could to save he r daughter, then she turned to face five Hounds, crazed killers. Alone in the dark. She was an empath and a healer, and she did what she could to turn that against them, to wound them, but it wasn't enough, and she knew it would not be enough; she knew the minute she compelled Marcus to run that she was going to her death.
First blood was taken from her by a Hound's dagger, and she fell almost immediately after...they tore her limb from limb. Brutal.
Her last words, before the Hounds caught up to her, were a muttered prayer for the safety of her daughter. Her last thought, the real name of Fenris, her lifelong best friend and lover.
She had to die. She existed to die, to motivate Capri and Halloran, Fenris, et cetera.
But it wounds me to write it. She is someone I would have liked to know, the kind of person I want to be, and here I've killed her, brutally and savagely, alone in the dark.
...yeah. This story is My Life.
