lirillithTitle: Memory
Fandom: Final Fantasy VI
Character: Terra
Length: 100 words
A friend once mentioned seeing fanart that rendered the marks on Terra's legs (as seen in the Amano designs) as scars, rather than patterns on her tights or stockings, which sparked this.
****
The magic comes naturally to her, naturally as fighting. Parry, slash, dodge, speak words she doesn’t even understand and toss flames like bright flowers from her palms. She never has to think.
Thinking always comes later.
The lamplight softens everything, conceals the rough edges. But those are the ones that interest her, the furrows and puckers and welts her fingers find when she bathes, the still-livid marks visible in daylight. She's beginning to fear what she might find, but she still wants to decipher the past mapped out in scars on her skin.
Her body remembers. She wishes she could.
