Just a quick post from a story snippet....
"I will not stop until every brick of every temple of this false pantheon has been ground into dust. I will bring ruin unto every one of your vicious and cruel children so if the world were to remember their names, it will only be as a passing thought." Tyn raised her hands high above her head, energy pulsing as she made rage a conduit for the power. "Dismissed as easily as you dismissed my plea when your son stole my light and life from me."
"Tyn."
Everything stopped. All around, her fighters, living and dead, were frozen in place. The silence in the room hummed in her ears. It had been so long. So long since that voice had met her ears. Her lungs forgot how to breathe and her heart was paralyzed in her chest.
"Maya, I…" Language failed as she turned to see her beloved. "You're really…" Her lips buzzed from the power of the halted spell, surging through the air, crackling from her fingertips.
"I am. For now." The voice came from a face that was so familiar it might have been Tyn's own. "Hello Wildling."
"Divine heart." Tyn threw herself at Maya, holding her as to bring their hearts into one beat. Her brown skin was cool and the kisses felt like the night air. Tyn drew back, searching those gray eyes she had fought two lifetimes for. She had spent those thinking of the perfect things to say when she saw Maya. Those words were all gone as Tyn buried her face into Maya's curly hair. "I've missed you."
Soft, cool fingers wiped away Tyn's tears. "I missed you too, Wilding." Her smile was sad and her eyes filled with tears. "You look so different on the outside."
"Oh, um… well reincarnation…" Tyn stumbled and laughed. "Its kind of obvious I'm a woman this time but I hope…"
Maya smiled and pulled her in for another kiss. "You look good. Even taller than when I saw you last. But you're still the one I love."
Deep and echoing, the elder gods words rolled across Tyn's mind. "You can be with her, forever if you wish. She's right here. All you need to do is stop your assault on the gods."
