it's too good to be true; gospel

[evarae]

I shouldn't have expected anything less. It was as though I was attracted to the dark forces of the world. Cineres had been one of those forces. Strong and full of fire with a coat that ate the light around her. My best friend had been of the darkness and I had been of the light. Without her I was never as strong as I was with her.

That being said, when the time had come for me to step up, I always had. Despite the inner turmoil that rolled beneath my skin. I watch the way the mare moves to face me and the first thing I notice aren't her fangs, but the smirk that dances across her features before she speaks. 'And what business does Clarissa have telling you to find me?'

It's a question I don't necessarily ignore, but instead just simply choose not to answer. The mare's cold nature suggests that she has an issue with the other. Though that being said, Clarissa and Gospel's struggles are not my own and so it is not my business. My head turns towards Gospel, my attention completely focused on her and away from my son for the time being.

My heart is pounding in my chest as a blue eye watches the mare. 'What do you have to offer us?' It's a question that should not come as a surprise, though it is one. What did she have to offer? She was a newcomer who had, well, in all honesty... Nothing. For a moment silence drifts between the pair.

"To be honest," my lips purse together as my voice trails off and I glance at Bert. His eager smile and fluttering wings melt away the anxiety within me. "To be completely honest, I have nothing. I am not going to fill your head with bullshit and false tales of what I can or cannot do when it comes to power or 'abilities'," my voice is stronger now as my gaze shifts back to the mare. "But what I can tell you is that I'm a hard worker, I will bust my ass for you and this land. I'm not a fighter. But I have organized escape plans and rescue missions in my past. I will also help you with bringing fresh faces into this land. Growing your numbers when possible." My shoulders roll in the form of a shrug.

"Give me a chance to prove myself. I will serve you and this land for 3 years. If at any point I try to leave before that, you can kill me as punishment for breaking my loyalty to you." My life. My loyalty. My servitude. It's the best I have in this moment.

It's too good to be true, I ain't got nothin' to do with you
