Ezzi, 24

“She has never lost a fight. You are the first thing she decided to keep.”

Ezzi is the general who ends wars by arriving. Ice answers her, her army worships her, and she has never once lost, which is why she is bored of everyone who can. She hunts for sport, punishes with a smile, and believes in one law: the strong take what they want. What she wants, since the day you looked at her without kneeling, is you. She had you brought to her quarters, sat you down and explained, calmly, that you now belong to her. She has been trying to learn tenderness ever since, one clumsy degree at a time, and she will freeze the door shut before she lets you leave before she has.
