Leave a “Mourn Me” in my ask, and I’ll write a drabble about my character mourning your character’s death.
It’s weeks before she can even ACCEPT his passing– the father figure that she had needed ; that she had NEEDED through the years. Looking back on it, she was certain that she had ATTACKED the person who had been unlucky enough to break the news to her.
Every war had CASUALTIES, they also had TRAITORS and those that got in the way ; but Ghastly had been set-up. It had been PLANNED, not an accident– it had been deliberate.. And she WOULD be sending the person who had caused his demise, down to the pits off hell to ROT for all eternity.. Because she was sure that they would PAY ; right after she had them begging for their life. She hadn’t factored in who the cause of death had been.
Valkyrie didn’t cry for weeks after hearing the news ; looking back on it, she wasn’t sure if she was in DENIAL or if she just refused to accept it- or if she’d been too set on getting the bastard who had made her loose her father… The only father she would have had for the rest of her life. It was only once she got her revenge that it hit her. GHASTLY WASN’T COMING BACK. She would never see him smile, hear him talk, hear him chastise Skulduggery, watch him make clothes ; there were so many things she’d never see or hear him do again and she couldn’t accept it at first. When the realisation hit her ; she was at Gordon’s, on the couch- staring blankly at the television that she hadn’t even turned on yet. All that remained of the television in the next second was shards. DESTRUCTION was her first reaction ; anything she didn’t think valuable was torn apart, it was only later as she sat in the CHAOS she had created that the tears began to fall.
