I've been trapped in the darkness of berserker rage for eons, with nothing and no one strong enough to drag me back into the light. Until
her.
SUVI
The raging alien's eye lands on me and I know he's going to kill me.
But when his scales touch my skin, suddenly he calms. In the fading fury of his gaze I see someone who isn't the monster I'd first thought.
But then he abducts me, bringing me to another planet entirely.
He takes me like I'm something that belongs to him.
It doesn't matter that his touch grows softer every passing day.
Or that he's as focused on protecting me as possessing me.
It doesn't matter that he sometimes looks as lost in this new world as I feel, like he's trying to remember who he used to be.
Or who he's supposed to become.
It doesn't matter that sometimes I want to reach for him as much as I want to run.
Skallagrim has made it clear that he will never grant me freedom.
In return, I will never grant forgiveness.
Even if it hurts.
And hurts us both
