Rainbow Snippets: A Shared Love

Coridan leaned forward and Theron's arm slid from his shoulders. When Coridan set his bowl on the ground for Ictis, Theron noticed numerous scars on his forearm ranging from red to almost white. The thin jagged seams marred him from wrist to elbow.

How did I miss them?

Theron stroked his left wrist, fingers circling similar marks there. After every helot he'd killed, he'd marked himself. Practicing for what he would do after he slew Andreas.

  1. I find that last line to be chilling. Hauntingly so.

    1. Theron agrees. He still has nightmares about that.

  2. Ouch. I wonder what Andreas did to deserve that kind of single minded focus against him?

    1. Theron was ordered to kill him. He didn't plan to outlive him.

  4. Theron's just glad Andreas has never asked him about them.
