She has no such bone in her whole body. I know what she is. I know what sort of threat a creature such a she poses to this world.
[If her hand shakes when she writes that, she does well to hide it. She has spent a lifetime this way; Flemeth is always the shadow and the sculptor, and Morrigan might never be free of a thing under her skin like this, but she will do her best never to show it, now when she would rise like a lion to keep her son safe from that woman.
When she would do better, no matter the cost to herself.]
To some, tis a game. To others...likely something much darker. The version I have heard of involves a pair of hardened leather leggings with tiny nails driven into the insides. A captive is forced into them. They are made to run whilst the Dalish give chase after a count of one hundred is given, their hands lashed behind them. Twas a Dalish now gone that told me such a tale, and I had heard such from humans but believed it to be some of the darker stories told of them. To hear the truth of it from one of their own was as unsettling as it was unsurprising.
