Is this thing on?

[imperatrice]

A river is never the same river twice, a person is similarly in flux.

I've changed my name, partly out of a desire to stay submerged and to keep writing openly for as long as I can. No one in my current circles reads anything outside of Facebook, so I have effectively no destinies to be entangled with here. The world finds me and makes demands of me, and the older I get, the harder it becomes to remember which mien to wear for which occasion.

I was a prince once, uncomfortable in my skin.
I am an empress these days, still quietly uncomfortable in my skin.
I sit on my throne on the frozen Mirror of Reason.

There are shades of imperious in the name, and tints of the cockatrice in the gaze.

I have broken a heart or two along the way. I assure the reader that it was unintentional. When they hopefully scratched "evighed" on the frozen pond, the mirror-shards lodged in my eyes and heart have already done their work, and all I can do then is give them their third kiss.
