Agonyyyyyy

March Trope-a-thon Day 1. Posting all of these a week late since I was on vacation last week, sans computer.

Environmental Whump: Falling through the ice

Part of an AU with @abstractwhump set in my fantasy world of Zinjiq, Lianwen is Marsh’s oc.

~~~

Stubborn doesn't even begin to describe her, and his annoyance only grows the longer he's stuck in this damn frozen wasteland. Trekking through the foothills, through deep snow that melts and seeps and chills to the bone, only to turn the corner and be met with a dizzying drop off that sends fear striking into his heart. He understands how one can look at the place from afar and see the beauty of it. But that's before one steps into the bitter cold and faces the terrifying heights for themselves.

I don’t want to marry a monster.

Her protests fall on deaf ears, not a soul caring for her own desires. As much as she’s begged her father “Don’t make me do this”, all he has ever said in response is that it is her duty as a noblewoman. Her mother has no sympathy either. Her fears are not important. Her family just wants the power from this marriage.

She’s a pawn to them. As she has been since day one.

“Mother, please…” Sajia tries once more, pouring all her desperation into the plea. “You have heard what kind of a man His Majesty is. Why would you agree to marry me-”

“Sajia, I will hear no more of this.” Her mother snaps, interrupting her. “You are a noblewoman of Khurzan, and you should consider it an honor that you were chosen to marry the emperor himself. Promised since birth. Many women would kill to be in your position.”

Do You Remember This?

He doesn’t remember this…

His eyes cast about wildly in the fog-filled landscape, treading cautiously over the ground. There’s something… off about this place. It certainly feels like a memory instead of something he is actually living. But if this is one of his own memories shouldn’t he remember it?

Another cautious step forward, head slowly turning side to side. This is all wrong. He doesn’t know why he’s here, or how he got here, or even where here is. It’s deathly silent, only serving to further his discomfort. There’s a strange sensation, like a fly crawling on his face or a loose strand of hair that is in just the right spot to be an irritant. But when he reaches up to sweep it away, his hand simply brushes across his skin. He starts to reach for his swords, but for some reason he’s unarmed.

The knife comes at her so unexpectedly that she can’t even prepare for it.

There’s a flash of something that might be hate on his face. She gets just a glimpse of those near-crazed eyes, the gleam of the blade, before there’s an intense line of fire down her upper arm. Sajia is not even sure if she cries out as she’s wrestled to the ground by the very person she was trying to help, a hand grabbing her shoulder and trying to pin her down. Another glance at those eyes- they’re not crazed like she initially believed, but she knows exactly what that look is- and the panic starts to settle in.
