❅ Four (Text)

[stonebird]

I thought about making this private, but I have nothing to hide. My words are typed in the hope that they will do someone good.

I come from a world that is harsh and unforgiving. Decent people die everyday and, more often than not, there is no one to mourn them. Life isn't endless for most, though it can be exceedingly long, and I think, when it's all said and done, the thing that matters the most is how we spent our days.

Personally, I do not wish to be remembered as a victim. Whatever is in store for us (according to the Null) is outside of our control. Do what you think is right today.

Do not live in fear. Otherwise they win.

You're damn right. If nothing else, stay alive out of spite. They don't deserve our fear, our lives or anything else.

[stonebird]

Living spitefully can give you time to find another reason to carry on. There is nothing wrong with it, truly, as long as it isn't a lasting state.

[paragonbrosca]

I did it for eighteen years. Sometimes you just gotta find a way to carry on, however you can for as long as you can. Let the future take care of itself.

[stonebird]

Eighteen years? Is that not your age? I can understand how you feel - how you felt - but there is so much more to love.

Our own world will soon be less harsh and unforgiving, with any luck. [ And with some major victories in battle. ]

You are very brave, Lady Stark. I hope that you are safe through all this.

I should like to see that. There must have been a reason my forefathers were loyal to a King or a Queen.

(She hasn't seen why yet, but with Daenerys, maybe she will.)

I have been lucky. I have learned, too slowly, and I see who I need to be.

[lemontree]

I hope that I can give you those reasons again.

It can be difficult to learn that for yourself. I am sorry for the suffering that you have endured along the way.

[stonebird]

I am hopeful, which is more than I have been able to say in a long while.

You have suffered too and learned from it. I am glad I have met you, Your Majesty.

[so_dark_a_road]

Well spoken, Sansa!

Your words of inspiration should be heard by all. And I think that whoever hears will be heartened.

We must fight on.

[stonebird]

I hope so. What we tell ourselves in the dark can be...wrong. I think being kinder to ourselves and others will help us be stronger in the end.

[so_dark_a_road]

I agree with you 100%.

[ With the exception of the Null. They can kiss his ass. ]

[stonebird]

I trust you will help everyone see the end of them. I will be there to patch you up along the way.

[am_i_a_monster]

My world was harsh too. Or at least it was harsh to me.

Living in fear is better than dying.

[stonebird]

I am sorry for that. If you need to tell another of it - privately or otherwise - I will listen.

[am_i_a_monster]

Thanks. I'll keep that in mind.

[stonebird]

You are strong for having made it this far.

[utulien_aure]

A truth not spoken enough, Sansa.

Well done.

[stonebird]

I have decided I want to be a protector too; a guardian like your family. This shall be good practice for when I am a mother.

[utulien_aure]

You are fierce enough to be a guardian to anything you like, Sansa Stark.

Hmm. Planning for marriage already? Is there someone we should know about?

[bythewaves]

I will never think of you as a victim, Sansa.

[stonebird]

I have been used, I have been weak, I was a victim once.

I'm not anymore.

[bythewaves]

Never.

[ He agrees ]

You are too strong for that, little firebird.

Hi. If you haven't noticed, our big boy here that keeps us out of the hands of the Null is Fear. Fear requires fear to do his spooky teleportation bullshit.

If we don't live in fear and allow it into our lives, then you may as well lay down to die.

It was a cute thought, though. [ It seems cruel and even a little out of place considering Sharon's relationships with the deities but she's been here long enough to know how the world here works. ]

[stonebird]

You make a fine point, but haven't we given him enough fear to last a lifetime? We needn't stay fearful. There will be no one to protect if we all sicken from our worries.

He transports the city. Do you have any idea how much energy that takes? You want to live, you remember fear is a necessity or your last thoughts will be regret.
