Daughter of Fen
She felt like a stranger, boots kicking up dust with each uncertain step as Mia moved through Keldabe. This face and this body were known only to a few, most were dead or missing, some liked to check in on her occasionally. None of them expected this. She paused at the foot of a great statue, lifting her gaze to stare at a face she'd once seen in a mirror.
Mand'alor the Liberator.
Mia Monroe herself, in all her glory. They'd captured her quite well she thought, stern expression on her face, armed to the teeth (some things never change). She looked younger than she ever remembered feeling, the weight of her failures aged her every waking moment and yet they glorified her in death. Raised a statue, named fort's after her. This olive skinned woman was much shorter in real life than this rock monstrosity led you to believe.
She took a step back, pushing her hood back as she did. She was not short anymore, gone was the olive skin and dark hair. Mia Monroe had been reborn, and been a real queen about it too. Enough was enough, her people needed her. It had taken a long time for her to realise these were her people. No matter how much she detested what they had done, no matter that she had lost her faith in the oversoul. Manda'yaim was her home, and its children were her people.
Too long she'd watched from the sidelines, peering at it all through the bottom of a bottle. It was past time she stuck her nose in and started cracking skulls. She extended her hands towards the statue of Monroe that was, coiling fingers of force around it. It groaned in protest drawing the attention of those nearby. Mia heaved at it with the force and the crack that followed felt like a punch to the chest as the noise ricocheted off nearby buildings. She let go of it, shoulders sagging slightly and watched as her statue toppled to the ground, breaking in several places it kicked up clouds of dust.
Stepping over rubble, she pulled herself up onto the pedestal and sat on its edge.
"Olaror sha ni vod." she muttered.
