anyone;

[Hybris]

I want to walk with you on a cloudy day In fields where the yellow grass grows knee-high "no," she answered after a short pause, "i do not remember that name. though i must admit my mind is not as sharp as it used to be." many years she had lived and now she had returned with none of the same voices to guide her. strange to ache for the very thing she had once cursed. "i lived in the jungle around the time of prague's rule. there was also nativity and oliphander. before your grandmother's time, most likely." hybris was far older than she appeared. it was a good conversation, a simple getting to know one another, but then they were joined by another. and another. the first was a stallion and though he seemed almost desperate for them to recognize him, hybris could not say that she did. while his name rang some small bell she imagined that it was only because it held a similarity to another - she had been gone far too long to know many here. "i am sorry, but no. i am hybris, though. it is nice to meet you." that was all she had to offer, and then they were joined by another. this one did know the stallion, and hybris felt as though she should hush, now. "hybris," she gave, and recognized the name as the leader of the warriors. it was a caste she had considered joining, but she trusted that her fighting days were behind her. hybris was no spring chicken and while she still had the heart of a warrior she knew that there were those more capable of defending with their flesh and blood. Come away with me, in the night Come away and I will write you a song
