Merphomenee makes me sad. She lived her entire existence (thousands of years most likely) alone and finally found a friend. Then she lost her, because of her own actions and she just can't make the changes to get her back. Her treatment of Summerlin in Theraverian was traumatic. Merphomenee made her watch a massacre and in some way be apart of it. That'll mess a person up. Not to mention all of the other stuff like the threats. Merphomenee loves Summerlyn but because of who she is she cant have that reciprocated. On top of that she's clearly done none of the work that would be needed to mend this., and now she's killed friends of Summerlyns, it was going to be hard to walk things back before but now I’m sure it's Impossible. It's just so...sad.

Another great chapter. Throughout this series you've done fantastic work marking Merphomenee really feel like a Goddess. Its not her daunting size that makes her dangerous is also the fact that she can control the weather. She really does feel like a force of nature. They way she haunted Summerlyn was really spooky. The dialogue was great too! I’m really sad story is wrapping up. I’m going to speculate that the next chapter is going to be dark. Merphomenee threatened to destroy Louelle so that's going to be hard to read. I really am hoping that Merphomenee has some kind of a change of heart but if that conversation in her bath after the first rampage we witnessed didn't get through to her i'm pretty sure nothing will. The Goddess of Tragedy indeed.  

 

Author's Response: I knew I wanted to write a tragedy when I started this story, something less uplifting and more somber than my previous writing. Poor Summer and Merphomenee are like a couple whose marriage steadily falls apart, aren't they? ._.
