Prompt: A Pain That Won't Fade

Her father raised his claws, their tips glowing green. The answering glow of the spiteful curse wrapping upon the manacles on her wrists. She desperately tried to hold her ground, wincing, ears flush to her head. The acrid smell burned in her nose, though not nearly so painfully as the necrotic spell burned her skin. His voiced echoed in the concrete room. “Even your gladium trash mother didn't want a runt like you.”

For some pain, even time does not dull. Callista reflected sadly, buttoning her long shirt sleeves to cover the bands of scars on her wrists.



((Originally, I made this one slightly too long. If you would like to read the Full Version:

The memory played itself ruthlessly in her mind as it had in her dream:

Her father's face snarled as he raised his claws, their tips glowed a bright, chartreusean green. It matched the harmonious glow of the spiteful curse wrapping upon the manacles on her wrists. She desperately tried to hold her ground, wincing as her ears laid flush to her head. The acrid smell burned in her nose, though not nearly so painfully as the necrotic spell burned her skin. His voiced echoed in the concrete room. “Even your gladium trash mother didn't want a runt like you.”

The words stabbed just as harshly as they had then. 
For some pain, even time does not dull. Callista reflected sadly, buttoning her long shirt sleeves to cover bands of patchwork scars and sparse fur on her wrists.))
