Kohl 4, Tyrian Purple 22, Fade to Gray 18 (Shard-verse)
Name: Silvercat
Story: Shard-verse
Title: Donville's Morning Prayer
Colors: Kohl #4 (eyeliner), Fade to Grey #18 (behoof), Tyrian Purple #22 (dogs of war)
Supplies and Styles: charcoal, seed beads, pastels (allbingo - body parts bingo)
Word Count: 291
Rating: all-ages
Warnings: violence, gangs, religious violence
Notes: Nursgil is a religion with three gods who have both good and bad influences. I'll gladly share more details about it. And I started a conlang just for this story, because I have a conlanging problem. Rita is called Odd-Eye or Bad Penny because she has heterochroma. Her left eye is green and her right eye is copper brown.
Margarida Abreiza Samema Donville said the same prayer every morning. The prayer her aunts had taught her, that their mothers had taught them, probably all the way back to the when Nursgil was brought to the old country.
As she washed, she prayed to the gods: Dunu, protect me from harm. Aldu, guide me with your wisdom. Taus, lead me to where I should be and home again. Lords of creations, send your guides to me and keep me from weakness. And as she dressed, she prayed to the guides: Angels, lead me to reflection and not to self-flagellation. Devils, lead me to passion and not to disgrace. Spirits, lead me to knowledge and not to isolation. And to her saints, as she brushed her hair (and this is where she suspected her aunts would disapprove): Cheinte Samema, as you fed the people, let me too be fed. Cheinta Abreiza, as you led the children, let me too lead my people. Cheinta Margarida, as you guarded your town, let me too guard my streets. Cheinta Samtoma, as you destroyed the unbelievers, let me too destroy my enemies. And she pinned up her hair and set out her cosmetics as carefully as she burnt incense and lit candles at the temple. Dunu, send your angels with health. Aldu, send your devils with passion. Taus, send your spirits with enlightenment. With a steady hand and a firm heart, she lined her eyes with wings as sharp as thorns and painted her lips dark as blood. Amen.
She nodded to the mirror. Time once again for Rita Donville, Odd-eye, Bad Penny, Bloody Rita, to lead the Donny Boy's gang to the destruction of all other gangs and total control of Shard City.
