" I'M A FIRE AND I'LL KEEP YOUR BRITTLE HEART WARM "

FIORE always loved the color blue. it was a strong contrast to the fire that always surrounded her. being the blacksmith's daughter, she was fascinated with the warmth that emitted from the silver he hammered into protection and into weapons crafted for murder. she never touched it- for a while, at least, until she was burned by it- the scars remain softly in white, etched on her skin, forever reminding her of the pain the fire, the warmth the silver brought. her name means 'flower' picked by her mother, to counteract the very fire that always surrounded the children. it was always gwen, elyan, and fiore. until elyan left and never came back. then their father died, and gwen and fiore began to rely on each other. fiore fell in love with morgana the way a person grieving does- with hatred of the world and a sadness sewn into the deepest parts of her soul. morgana was the kind of fire fiore was drawn to, but with fiore, she was the kind of blue fiore loved more than anything. their love was brighter than the sky itself as lighting strikes across the clouds. but it was secret- it was filled with beauty but written in the bylines, much like fiore herself. 

MORGANA always loved. simply always loved- she loved with a passion grown from fear of loss. and a boiling hatred for uther pendragon. though she loved, she loved the things he hated. she loved fiore for her flaws, loved the people for everything they could and couldn't do, and she loved everyone uther hurt. the druids, and magic itself- though she hated herself for having it. she never wanted to live in fear, and never planned to. her father died when she was young, but she remembers that loss acutely. she found a family in arthur, but she felt that loss when gwen and fiore lost their father as if she had lost him herself. morgana's love for fiore has always been there, in friendship and solidarity and sword fights and the comfort they brought each other. their love kept morgana's hatred for uther simmering instead of flaming, but morgause was the last piece, fueling morgana's thoughts into actions into treason. morgana said goodbye to fiore in the most heartbreaking way possible- no goodbye at all. 

after her love, morgana, returns, she is unrecognizable to fiore- her rebellious ways have turned to pure hatred for the crown, burning in her eyes. fiore can do nothing but watch as morgana disappears, slipping through fiore's fingers. their past aside, fiore is the only one left in the palace morgana still trusts. she could end this war, but will she?
