Prompt: #50. Writer's Choice (Woman)
Character(s): Horo-centric
Timeframe: Season 1
Originally Written: 4.2.2009
She will never be a woman.
There was a time where she would be proud of this fact. If it weren't for Lawrence's sake, she would be striding around, wearing her goddess status proudly. She still would be if she didn't think of the fact that deities like her cannot transcend their hierarchy to be with a human.
She knows that even if she were to stay with him, he would die long before she did. Horo would be alone once again, as she has always been. She thought she had gotten used to the feeling of solitude, but once she had a taste of companionship, it was difficult to even imagine it anymore.
Horo wants Lawrence to be happy, and if that desire for happiness leads to a woman like Chloe or Nora, then so be it. She's not so selfish as to prevent the man she loves from pursuing his own dreams.
She'll never be truly happy.
