Tonight, I will challenge everything I thought I was and all that I am.
I will follow my heart to places unknown. Do the things I did not think possible.
I will face my first and last fear and test the very core of my being.
Tonight, I mix the colours together and paint a different story for Denica Thrax.

Relationship Note on Jasher

The Assorted Adventures of Denica and Jasher Thrax.

Jasher being, the very honourable person he is, once vowed to protect me. This meant, I had to pull him into all my schemes. That is the appropriate thing to do to one's reserved and stalwart cousin.

Our first escapade was at a gala in Maelstrom. We were suppose to do a stomp-stomp, serious dance. I invited the Compact and the Traditionalists. But, it was also a chance to influence culture. So, in the middle of the proper stomping, I break away. A twist! I went to the other end of the room and ran towards him. Jasher grabbed and hoisted me up above his head. I stretched out my arms like I was flying. In that moment, I felt free. It felt like we were dancing on His grave and that felt great.

Once at a proper family dinner, I decided to cause a little trouble. Jasher, was fully engaged in a riveting conversation about plate armour. So I stole a couple crab legs from his plate. I used a crab leg to wiggle at Astrid. She was totally onto me and I wanted to make her laugh. Astrid, saw an opportunity to try to throw something at me. Luckily, Victus has a keen eye and caught her just in time. But, sufficient to say, other people reacted. Which was entirely my fault, but Jasher went down with me, willingly.

Another time, I was frustrated a certain cousin got judgy that I was fighting with weapons and helping others. That attitude bothered me. So, I came up with a plan. I managed to convince Jasher to stage an argument with me at fealty event I hosted. It was very dramatic. Because really, we were going to fight in front of everyone. In front of, said cousin. Denica versus the Sword. Because change isn't easy, so that's why we have to do it. We start by bringing everything into the open.

I glad you are out there somewhere, doing great things. Even if I miss you. I think about you when I cause trouble. I picture that look on your face. The 'concern and care' one. There's this little vein in your forehead. The twitch. And the sigh when you know I'll do it no matter what, so you just came along, in case I needed help. We all do, every now and then.

Growing up wasn't easy. So because of that, we tried to love so much. We knew how important it is to love hard. It might hurt, but it makes us better. It separates us from an unavoidably cruel world.

Relationship Note on Mabelle

Mabelle was there for my first scouting mission. It was in Bastion, after the attack. I was nervous, scared even. I'd never done anything like it, but I was determined to help. So, Mabelle gave me a cookie, she held my arm and we kept close. We protected each other and I felt stronger because of her.

You were a kindred troublemaker. A generous woman and a creative spirit. A friend for so very many years.

I will make sure your art collection returns home to Artshall, in a manner befitting of you.

Relationship Note on Victus

You never asked me to be anyone but myself. You gave me freedom.

I danced in the face of adversity, and painted the walls with truth.

I celebrated trouble, and followed my heart wherever it took.

I sculpted the storm to see who I was, and never looked back.

I was always unapologetically, completely and utterly, Denica Thrax.

Relationship Note on Donella

When I look at you, I see our mother.

You are one of the strongest people I know. You always have been, ever since I can remember.

Some of my happiest memories growing up, are because of you. I know you sacrificed a lot for us. You stepped in, and much of who I am, is because you did.

The mistakes in the painting are just as beautiful as the perfect strokes.

It's all art, be it, own it, we are who we are. Nothing more, nothing less.

Listen to that little voice inside of you. You know more than you think. You are beautiful and strong. There is nothing you cannot do.
Smile and be brave, everything will fall into place. And if it doesn't? It's not going to change who you are, if you don't let it.

A wave never forgets how to crash on the shore. Even when it's unexpected, the intent is always clear.
