i'm actually still not quite over the fact that oveta and korahi's stories continuously overlap until they finally cross paths in that market. that they don't even say anything to each other, they just smile from their different stalls. oveta rolls her eyes bc kova is being ridiculous and korahi bites her lip so she doesn't laugh and it's so simple, so peaceful, so fucking mundane. they have no idea who the they are to each other. oveta, the girl who killed the queen that destroyed korahi's people, her family. proof that someone tried to fight for them. korahi, the very creature that oveta was almost executed for defending, the push that became a shove to build her own kingdom and write her own laws. proof that nakia failed. but for just that moment, that blip of time, they were just two girls sharing a silent joke, and everything was okay.

#if i think about the splintering too long i start turning into a soup #if i've written a post like this before i dont even care!!! they make me insane!!!#and look i know oveta's whole thing is that she's trying to win back the gods favour; that she didn't act until after the punishment landed #but she was 8 or 9 when the killing started. there wasn't much she COULD do at the time when action was the most crucial #she'd just lost her friend (ariad) and didn't 100% understand what was going on and by the time she did it was too late #and suddenly SHE'S being punished by the gods?? she's lost a core part of herself due to the selfishness of her elders??#so of course that's what makes her snap but still she; even at 14; was the only one with the spine to stand up and say it was fucked up #she killed nakia so she could become queen and re-write their traditions. make sure something like that never happened again #actually fun fact: despite their status of 'extinct' dragons are a protected species in miednic (rip mattie if only you knew)#because oveta REFUSED to let it happen again - and even if it was soley in the name of keeping vietua's affection #it still makes her the only person who fought /for/ the dragons and their lives #and the fact that she is Right There next to Korahi; the Last Dragon. and neither of them know.#the splintering #nh: the splintering #oveta #korahi
