The Divine Suffering Diana Creed
"The Divine Suffering has a name, but we do not speak it to nonbelievers. Did your father ever explain the birth of this world to you? That it came from a shattered world that came before, that those who reforged the broken shards became the new Gods?" Volatia simply shook her head. "My father created the world before I was born," she said quietly, "but I am now certain that is wrong." She turned her head back to stare at the statue in front of them and sagged. "I am so lost... I know my runes are my fate, and the path I am on will be only pain... but I accept it. I will suffer for my people." Lorenzo nodded in understanding, his gaze lifting back to the statue as well. "I have the notes that Ilara made, and I will be studying them, but it will take some time," he says quietly, then continues... "The Divine Suffering lived three lives. In all three she suffered. Her will was taken from her by the man who would be her husband. She was forced to participate in the murder of her own family. She bore a child she would never get to raise, and her husband's sins led to them becoming a monster. Finally she was given the memories of both of her previous lives, and was forced to live in a land where her child and once-husband also both lived, twisted into their worst selves. Never, until the end, did she have any control. Any agency. She suffered, silently, until finally she feared nothing, and the pain of all that she had endured became strength, and she took up the sword." "She teaches us that to live is to experience hardship and pain, but the suffering that we experience from this is not to be feared but embraced. To make what others would use to hurt you into a sword and shield, and take them up as your strength instead."-The Divine Suffering, as explained by Lorenzo Dolore
