Summary: Even battle hardened slayers can crack. It is up to oneself not to become brittle
Word Count: 100
Date Originally Composed: October 8, 2004
On the outside she is a slayer.
Hardened, battled-scraped, varnished with complacency and a mirroring distortion that only shows some things as they are and others as they're want.
Sometimes she cracks. Sometimes the marrow inside throws her off-balance, unevenly weights her.
Sometimes she feels bloodlessly brittle, like her insides have been sucked out and consumed by scavenging ghosts. Ghosts of those like herself, or what she once was. Is she still like they are? She wonders. She shakes, quivers sometimes.
She's toughened and weathered, like the hiraikotsu she wields. The skeletal crack is but a mended breach to her.
