gloss's prompt for River horror on my prompt meme, utterly failed to do anything with it remotely on time, still unsure where this is going (besides Augustine and Abigail going 'wow there is something very wrong with you' at each other).
Abigail causing problems on purpose hours, and all that.
gloss's prompt for River horror on my prompt meme, utterly failed to do anything with it remotely on time, still unsure where this is going (besides Augustine and Abigail going 'wow there is something very wrong with you' at each other).On her third day as a Lyctor, Abigail the First, the Tenth Saint to serve the King Undying, sank beneath the River and swallowed two mouthfuls of something that was not water.
She would have swallowed more, but the strong hand of her elder brother left its place on the hilt of his rapier, fixed itself in her hair, and hauled her up above the surface.
She looked only slightly the worse for wear, her stolen eyes clouded over and a string of black muck dripping from the corner of her mouth, but fortunately she was still in one piece. Less fortunately, Augustine had no idea what new pieces might have been added to the less-than-delightful bundle of irritation that had apparently found itself in charge of his House.
"I will give your training to Mercymorn if you do that again," he said, because he already knew that forbidding her from doing such a thing again would cause her to attempt such a thing again immediately.
Abigail merely smiled, which had the unfortunate effect of revealing that the River had stained her teeth. "You wouldn't," she said, "Becuase that would mean admitting she might be able to teach me where you couldn't."
Abigail causing problems on purpose hours, and all that.
