Hiya, Lorien Legacies fandom, nice to meet ya!
Is anyone else as excited for the Fall of Five as me?
So, in my unbearable anticipation and impatience, I'm writing this to occupy myself.
There'll be ten chapters one for each Garde but let me know if you'd like me write a freeverse for the Cépans, too.
So, obviously I'm starting with number One. I hope you enjoy.
Disclaimer: I don't own the Lorien Legacies, or anything else for that matter!
Ideally Number One would be the strongest, right?
The smartest.
The hardest to b/r/e/a/k.
The most powerful
Because you'd be the first to go
(the first to die)
And that would set everything in (m)(o)(t)(i)(o)(n)
If you don't die,
No other Garde would, either.
The weight of your world is on your shoulders, and you're not
ATLAS
And the weight could break you at any moment.
You're NOT
{the strongest}
{the smartest}
{the most powerful}
And maybe you'd be easy to break.
{Of course it would be easy,
You're outnumbered ten thousand to One
A blast of a canon
A snap of bone
A knife in the stomach
It would all be over
So very, very easily}
You're not weak.
You're not dumb.
You're just... lacking.
But maybe that's the /point\
Maybe
You're the most e-x-p-e-n-d-a-b-l-e
You're the one they'll miss the least.
Maybe you're just a s_t_e_p_p_i_n_g s_t_o_n_e for the others.
And that hurts, too.
You're not ATLAS, but you're better than that.
You're the first defence
The most important one
The first to go, the one with the most
Responsibility.
But you're the girl who can't
/fly\
Or *disappear*
Or start an i!n!f!e!r!n!o!
You can just
See in the dark
And hear from mi-i-iles away
And talk to animals.
And what help would that do?
You're not a fighter.
You're defence, not offence
And terrified.
Can't forget that, can you?
You're petrified
That you'll
Mess up
{like always}
And everything will fall to ashes because of you.
(But no pressure, or anything)
