🧙 WHO: Caster & OPEN (with a couple of closed TLs)
⚔️️ WHAT: Caster's gone on a grief-induced rampage after learning of the death of her lover back home
🕒 WHEN: June 6th, late night
🗺️ WHERE: The Brocéliande woodland
⚠️ WARNINGS: Violence, Arson, Kidnapping, Death Threats, Magical Torture, Grief, potential Body Horror (Will add more as they come up)

So here it was...the Witch of Betrayal finally showing her 'true colours' to Avalon. After that network post, Caster readied herself for whatever would come of it- the forest fire providing an ominous backdrop.

Since she'd come to Avalon, so many had told her she was a good person- and now, she was publicly burning it all to the ground.

[ooc notes: TL prompts will be in the comments!

I don't want Caster to get killed, but I'm all for her potentially getting maimed/scarred provided we plot first. If you don't think it's IC for your character to not just murder her, send me a message so we can plot how she can remove herself from the situation/have someone else intervene before it gets that far!

She'll be using her familiar symbiosis to fight and leaning toward making the actual description of that transformation slightly body-horror-y, but if you're not comfortable with that then just give me the heads up and I'll have her already turned when the thread starts.

Darin will have his own TL for rescuing him/fighting his own familiar fusion, which I'll link here when it's up- feel free to tag one or both as you see fit!]

[By now, Medea had been in her fair share of battles- those 'heroic sorts' rushing to intervene that were able to avoid Darin's rampage- and Archer himself had thankfully made his appearance. This whole affair borne out of grief was, well, not too far a cry from how she'd responded to Jason's betrayal in the past.

When she hit rock bottom, when she'd lost everything, that was when Medea truly showed what evil she was capable of.

...She suspected some would guess of her true nature after the broadcast, but hearing her name called out over the flames still came as a surprise. So Gawain had sought her out, had he?

Well, Medea would humour him. She'd done what she came out to do, so what became of her now was of little consequence.

With a beat of skeletal wings to clear the smoke, she moved out of the shadows of the woodland- keeping her distance and gripping Rule Breaker in hand, just in case.]

Sir Gawain.

[ The horse nickers as the being comes down from where they fluttered, the demise of their wreckage a prompted and regular forethought coming from a servant of her caliber. It was not odd to say the least, but very well unfortunate especially considering the fact that. All were harmed for her seeming vengeance - as such he clamors with want to speak. ]

Lady Medea, [ His horse canters about seemingly disorientated by the wreckage about him however his handling of his mount is flawless. ] I hope you are inclined to understand my words when I speak them to you. However, seeking out revenge in such manner will only sully your heart further. I know there is no feeling that will change ultimately how it were, but I hasten toward you. Kindle to your better nature, I hope that you understand the course of your actions and the sort of reckoning that will hail from it thusly... Lady Medea, are you truly satisfied? Was this enough?

[She observed the man closely- under other circumstances, she'd admire the way he handled his horse- but for now, she was focused on monitoring him for a sign of attack.]

Satisfied...well, I was able to stab Archer. It will never be enough, but that was all I had left to me.

You shouldn't be so surprised. Sully my heart? It was blackened the moment my name was written into legend- the moment I burned everything and everyone Jason had to ash and became the Witch of Betrayal.

[With a wide gesture of her arms, she indicated the woodland around her- where the fires were slowly burning out.

This was who she was, after all.]

Medea.

[ Gawain seemingly was not disappointed, no this was righteousness. Her own desire and need for vengeance was rightful, a broken heart from years of prompted hellish living ways. Coming forth at the loss of something important. When nothing were given of kindness to the other - it was something he has seen time and time again. The worn dressage of wanting answers from the world, when the world had nothing to answer for it.

Her hands molded the fate she wished to create, and out of her anger and folly she destroyed the world about her. Attempted to kill a man whom had been the one who took away her own happiness. Even still, Gawain knows deep down this was all wrong.

This was not okay, and despite being a man who fell often into the rouses of his own emotions. Destroying and being destructive against the world about him. He can do nothing but rightfully condone her with words, Gawain would never maim her or touch her. Not when she had already destroyed much of the world around her as it were. ]

This will bring no one back. [ His voice is firm. Even. ] This will change nothing. [ Stated as if it were truth, unmoving. ] Not even your own heart will be cured by this. [ He knows. He tried. He failed, and he suffered for it. Destroyed his Kingdom because of it - a fools man. ]

This was pointless and you know that. Draw back your destruction and go home, this realm gives you a new life to lead. So lead it, and make amends with the faults of what you have done here.

[ The horse canters, because it avoids the burning ground around them. The soil that bursts with flames gently coming closer. Gringolet is careful as to not let them both become touched by the flames. ]
