“I’m not one to elaborate the truth. I will kill you when I get the chance.” And then she disappeared in a burst of smoke. And she honored her promise. If she didn’t, I wouldn’t be telling you this. Okay, yeah, I really do need to back up... so, hi, my name is Scarlet Dust, and I’m one of Hades’ furies. What, you want me to back up further? Okay, yeah, that does make sense. I’m not used to dealing with mortals... other then all those moaning spirits. Man, they are annoying. Right, right, sorry. So, in exchange for my life, here’s my life story. I was only five when strange things started happening around me. My mom died, then my dad, then my aunt and uncle sent me to foster care because of strange happenings, then I ruined two foster families, then I got myself killed by the lady of the river Styx. Literally. Though I’ll never forget when I died... The lady of the Styx killed me. I died. That was it. The end. Soft darkness pressing in on every side. I wanted to fall in, to give up, to stop fighting. Then the Furies caught me. They pulled a little Jimeny Cricket and did their being-somebody’s-conscience thing. Don’t worry, Scarlet. One whispered in my ear. If I even had ears when I was dead... We’ll get you home. Back where you belong... That was weird. I had never belonged anywhere. Now I was dead and these ladies when whispering to me. I barely remember much past that, other then the Furies arguing with Charon. Then, I met Hades, and my life began for real. The story will be seven quills, though I’m not finished yet. The first part follows Scarlet’s life, and, well, for the rest, you just have to wait and see... If you press the flag, I read the excerpt like I was telling it as a voice acting audition. (And yeah, I know I said I moved, I’m just using this as an alt where I post junk like this)
