An Eye For An Eye

[Acosmism]

A parchment was nailed to Keina's door, in perfect and pristine condition, aside from the area of the door around the nail where the hammer seemingly missed... several times, resulting in a bit of smashed wood. It did not reside in an envelope, instead its contents were left open for Keina and whoever might be passing by in Petal Court to see. Rushed etchings of careless cursive scattered on the paper, blue ink smeared with haste. At the end, there was no signature, no not one — however, it's sender was painfully obvious.

Oh you fool, there are rules — I am coming for you. Darkness brings evil things, yes, the reckoning begins. Just as the sand made everything round, just as the tar seeps up from the ground, so too will you soon be in my grasp, for my revenge only comes natural. You walk so blind in the sun, your purple-hued eyes not adjusted to the darkness that I bring forth for you. Adjust them now, precious, an eye for an eye.

Keina did see this, as she came upon her temporarily abandoned house. She noticed the..amount of marks against her door, leaving her to suggest the messenger missed the nail, or was completely fucking drunk.

She ripped it off the door, reading it quite quickly, before clenching her jaw. "Son of a bitch..like hell I'd give ye m'own eye, I'd rather take your own." The Avanthar growled, before stepping away -- headed straight to the estate.

A Url walks by with his daughters upon seeing the note he almost recites a prayer to Alu but stops himself. Instead speaking to Lanarra and Basthur "May the strength of his Gift and the speed of his axe rest upon this recipient, may the Fire and Flame protect their Household." With that he would quickly rush his children on knowing not who that prayer was for.

A Qadir would sit in quiet misery drinking vodka as he tried to forget all his trouble. Then he would catch the words of a approaching patient joking of how soon another might grace his office. Upon hearing of the letter he would give a small smile but it was hallow...anger and any joy it brought a mere shell.

"Even if it is a Medicine which I yearn to see given. It does not ease my pain at the methods or the result. In the End, I must still wait for that moment when this Torture shall pass."

Then something would occur to him. "Wait...that is why...." his sympathy and his melancholy would fade into a hatred not felt in many years. "To think for a moment, I had forgotten your brutality. You did that to her...damn my feelings. This wish will be granted an eye for an eye."
