Summary: I guess I should feel bad for her, but…I really don't.
Warnings: Um...I was kind of mean to Az. And there is a POV/tense switch there in the middle, but it's clearly marked.
To no one's surprise, after the eclipse and the fall of the witch, Azkadellia went a little crazy. I mean, if you had been the host to an evil parasite of a witch and forced to kill thousands of people and had tried to lock the suns behind the moon for Ozma's sake, wouldn't you go a little crazy as well?
So, she went a little crazy. And by a little crazy, I mean, a lot crazy. Like, not changing clothes and refusing to wash her hair and not eating kind of crazy. At least at first. That was only the beginning to her downward spiral.
She finally snapped out of her no eating phase about two weeks after starting it. How she survived those two weeks, I will never know, but she did. And the first thing she did after snapping out of it was head directly to the kitchen where she proceeded to eat everything in sight. You know the expression 'She ate everything including the kitchen sink'? Yeah, well, she even tried to eat the kitchen sink.
After the mass raid on the pantry, Azkadellia proceeded to get even crazier. I guess I should feel bad for her, but…I really don't. She locked my father in an iron suit and killed my mother. Maybe not directly, but she ordered it. I'm only sticking around here because of my father. And DG. No, I do not have a crush on DG! No, I am not blushing! Ozma, get off my case!
Right, Azkadellia. So, after the kitchen incident, she took to wandering around the castle at all hours of the night, startling the night watchmen and the early morning maids. She walked around in this dress that had definitely seen better days and didn't brush her hair. And some said she didn't brush her teeth either. I don't know; I wouldn't get close enough to check.
Wait, hang on, note from the Queen. Shit! Well, now Azkadellia has apparently gone missing and the Queen is requesting my help. I spent my whole life trying to help her I can't exactly stop now, can I?
She's singing when he and his men find her tucked away in some hidden wood that they only found because of the bright light emanating from it. She's barefoot and her hair is down and she's still in that ridiculous dress. He's even more convinced that she's crazy.
Not only is she singing, but she's dancing also. In circles. Around a fire. Completely, certifiably insane, he thinks, as he steps toward her.
"Wait!" she yells and he has to stop suddenly and he can hear his men behind him as they all grab at their weapons.
They all wait with baited breaths as she finishes her circle to stand in front of them. She puts her hands up and Jeb Cain leans back in disgust when she does and takes a step back, waiting for her to speak.
"Don't disturb my circles!"
