Rosalind Thorne
the First Bloom
She is not the last of her kind. She is the first.
Rosalind Thorne is not the last of an old kind of god. She is the first of a new one. She grew from a seed in a jungle no map has ever named, and the seeds that orbit her now are her own.
No two people who have met her describe her the same way. Hunters who saw her in spring remember pink petals and a face like a sleeping girl. Those who found her feeding remember crimson, and four arms, and the heart open in her chest. A few speak of a green, masked figure standing perfectly still among the roots, which may be how she looks when she is waiting.
The accounts agree on one thing only: when her seeds finally fall, the world will not have one of her. It will have thousands.
Not a likeness. Every image of Rosalind is drawn from the accounts of those who saw her, or from what artists recorded afterward. The accounts do not agree.
