Hiraeth

specifically, child abuse (physical and psychological), implied dissociation, trauma, violence
tribe and stuff still undecided so dont add the leafspeak or whatever ty
Er,mmm piano prodigy dragon who is a star, probably the most well-known and talented pianist of her time but was probably more forced into it by her dad. The wings are muscles and she grew up at this piano bench, wings off to the side, care days brushed away for the sake of practice, practice, practice, and she knows every note, every sound this wooden creature before her could make by heart.
Sometimes they speak to her, in the middle of the night when the lights are blaring and her father stands behind her bench like the Executioner, whispers to her in low tones, and she never quite remembers what they are saying.
→ wait omg hidden leafspeak pianist prodigy leafwing??? silkwng??? idk
OK the leafspeak piano talking ermrm that might be bs i kinda lost my train of thought. old money?? mansion, rich parents butooougu yk success in music and she used to like it, and her mother croons sugar-sweet tones about how this creation was her throne, and she thinks, no, this creation is my prison.
She had been five when she had tried to run away. She had been five when her father had screamed, awful dirty horrible things, that crawled inside her lungs like a great plume of flame, burning, burning –– she had been five. 
She had been five when her father pinned her to the floor and gouged out her wings.
Later, her mother comes, where she is sobbing and crying and panting on the wooden floors stained with ruby-red-gold, the ichor of gods. A masterpiece, she thinks, dazed, dazed when her mother makes a sad pitiful noise and said, you should not have done that, my dear, and washes and cleans and bandages her wounds, and, and––
And the deepest still remain. She still bleeds.
She’s still bleeding when her mother gently leads her wobbling legs up the stairs to her bedroom, and still crying too, edges of her vision blurred and everything so distant she thinks she might be dying.
*(girl’s kinda deluded into thinking shes like a god bc of her ability by her parents)
*And anyway she has like relationship issues
