Beaunvoliant - One Sentence 2
1. Motion
Aedelia had given Peregrine a ribbon to tie her hair with once, and she had watched as her older sister gathered up her hair and bound it in a haphazard low ponytail before she left, and when Peregrine had arrived back later that afternoon her hair was windblown, the ribbon was in shreds and she had bruises on her arms and knees and a shallow cut on her shoulder, but her eyes were bright.
2. Cool
Removing the iron mask and standing in the grass by the lakeside, she blinked at the sudden almost-forgotten feeling of the breeze against her face.
3. Young
But you’re only sixteen, people would say, and she’d always give a small, shy laugh, and she would always reply back, yes.
4. Last
He sighed inwardly; there was only one slice of cake left.
5. Wrong
She felt nothing but all kinds of discomfort with her hair forcibly pulled up in clips and the constricting corset and the skirt that she felt was much too long, and her only condolence was the fact that her siblings probably did not want to be there either.
6. Gentle
Valerius always was very meticulous in maintaining order in his things, and although his tight grip on his pistols never wavered, it was the books he held as if they were small sheets of thin, thin glass.
7. One
It didn’t feel right, he thought, clenching and unclenching his free left hand.
8. Thousand
When they were younger, a teen-aged Valerius would point out constellations in the clear night sky to an Aedelia in the midst of her short childhood, and their names sounded so odd to her young ears and she couldn’t pronounce them.
9. King
Valerius and Peregrine played chess from time to time, and she had the peculiar habit of always using the queen as her main offense, and he was always the one to say the word ‘checkmate’.
10. Learn
Peregrine had given her a small dagger for self-defence and had taught her how to use it, but she never tried to learn so hard.
11. Blur
He could feel that it was going to fall soon, with its strength dwindling and its assaults becoming less focused, and thus he took aim at its head and shot twenty times.
12. Wait
He sat in the dimmed living room, next to a window struck by rain, with a book of poetry on his lap, and sipping a cup of sugar-filled tea.
13. Change
Valerius noted that his older sister did not fully retain the slight air of mischievousness and the perpetually gentle expression on the face of her younger years, but he understood that war changed people, and she was not the only one.
14. Command
‘Don’t be so reckless,’ the young girl admonished, and the cat that she was bandaging offered a small mewl in reply.
15. Hold
Valerius laid a slim hand on her shoulder in reassurance, and when he glanced down at her slightly, hair framing his face, Aedelia was reminded of her mother.
16. Need
It really was the only thing that she knew she could do properly, and so she fought.
17. Vision
When asked to describe a sunset, Peregrine would make a comparison to fire, Valerius would comment about the time of day, and Aedelia would talk about comfort.
18. Attention
He was never one to place himself at the front of a crowd, nor was he ever one to voice his opinions so straightforwardly as to draw focus onto himself, so when Dimidium sauntered into his life, he just couldn’t understand how he put himself into that position unknowingly.
19. Soul
Aedelia was the only one who ever prayed.
20. Picture
She had often contemplated cutting her hair like it used to be when she was twenty- shoulder-length and flyaway, but looking at herself in mirrors now and brushing long strands away from her face, she decided that the long hair looked rather nice anyway.
21. Fool
Dimidium was an idiot, and he was beautiful and shallow and he infuriated him so much, but perhaps that said something about him as well.
22. Mad
‘I wonder how often you consider the reality that you could get yourself killed,’ her brother had said, and she had merely given him a flippant shrug in reply.
23. Child
When the opportunity arose and they could rest, the both of them would sit in a field and weave wreathes out of wildflowers in tranquil silence.
24. Now
It was a few years after that, and she was alive.
25. Shadow
It was much too early to get up, in his opinion, and the shadows made by the morning sun did nothing to coax him from under the covers, and he could faintly hear the chirping of sparrows and the incessant knocking on his door, but the sheets were soft and the pillows even softer.
26. Goodbye
‘Please remember to smile,’ were their mother’s parting words.
27. Hide
There were a few letters from their mother that were addressed to her and her only, requesting that she made sure they ate well and asking about all of their well-being, and would Aedelia please make sure they didn’t do anything too dangerous?
28. Fortune
Valentine was a lucky cat, the youngest reasoned: He had almost been run over by a carriage and trampled by horses, and had gotten lost for over two weeks and he still came home without any major injuries.
29. Safe
They didn’t have to fight so much back in Brestia, and even with her late childhood tainted by war Aedelia still found the time to revel in the smallest, most wondrous things, but back in Brestia they had no daffodils in their garden and here they grew in fields.
30. Ghost
Peregrine was not the only one affected by their father, the illustrious yet condescending man who shaped all of their lives, and from time to time Valerius would remember the hand that taught him how to reload a gun as the same hand that slapped his sister across the face the day she arrived from battle.
31. Book
If Valerius was a book, he would be the surreal, confusing, silent novel that made you smile and made you cry and made you think at the same time, with an enigmatic, bittersweet ending that did not answer everything.
32. Eye
At a quick glance, the color was easily dismissed as a simple ‘blue’, but Valerius’ shade of blue was colder and yet milder than any of his siblings’.
33. Never
Understanding their reasons for fighting was always the hardest thing to do, whether they were sparring with friends or whether they went into the front lines of war, since in truth, her mind was preoccupied with thoughts of peace and she took to heart her family’s name of benevolence.
34. Sing
Way back then, when their family was not just three, Aedelia would play the piano while Yrazephorah sung, and occasionally, with proper convincing, Valerius would take hold of his violin and join them.
35. Sudden
The day that the person she loved the most left on a perilous self-entrusted mission, Aedelia spent weeks fearing and worrying, and on the days it became too much, Valerius held her while she cried.
36. Stop
There was only one person who could ever make him put down a very enthralling book of his own volition.
37. Time
The both of them were morning persons, and so while the younger was set on cooking breakfast and the elder was polishing a blade, he was laying with his eyes closed in a warm bed under violet blankets that were not his.
38. Wash
It was very, very tedious for him to comb his own hair after bathing.
39. Torn
The once-soft skin on her back was peeling and streaked with red, and Aedelia could not help but sigh as she cleaned the wounds- Peregrine did not flinch.
40. History
“Sometimes, doesn’t the thought enter your mind that all that you’ve been doing your entire life has been done for all the wrong reasons?”
41. Power
“You let yourself think things like that?”
42. Bother
“Most of the time I don’t, so not quite.”
43. God
Instead of answering, Valerius stayed silent and glanced out of the window to the dark clouds and the rain-pattered streets in the city.
44. Wall
Turning back to his sister, he noticed that the color of the paint on the walls almost matched her skin- was she ill?
45. Naked
She gave him an unguarded smile reserved only for those dear in her life, brushed her bangs away from her tired eyes, and went back upstairs.
46. Drive
She wanted to get the chance to laugh in his face, to mock all his criticisms and to show him proof that yes, she was just as good as any other and yes, she could make it in the world without his direction.
47. Harm
She had the innate urge to take care of everyone and everything, and even if she was still so young the spirit of a loving martyr seemed to be forming in her.
48. Precious
Aedelia could hear something familiar from above her, and the fingers softly stroking her hair were familiar too, and then it occurred to her that this was Mother’s lullaby and these were Peregrine's hands.
49. Hunger
It was a certain kind of longing that only the sound of metal clashing against metal and the adrenaline and the danger could satisfy.
50. Believe
And when the night was young and the stars were glittering overhead in their places in the heavens, and one of them brokenly whispered, 'I love you', there was no doubt in their minds that it was the only truth in the world that made them believe.
