Syenite Glaze


No one looked at the child who would become Alabaster Tenring and thought ‘here is one who could change the world’. The calculating eyes and well trained sessapinnae perceived the bred-for expected capacity and potential of a tool useful for their purposes, and looked no further.

Certainly the girl child first named Damaya was accorded no such potential as an infant, if perhaps more personhood. Until her orogene potential manifested at any rate.

But then, personhood was not much of a consideration to those of the Fulcrum, neither guardians nor Seniors nor anyone else with authority.

It should have been.
