Analyzing Joan, by Del (monologue, 1999)

[lb_lee]

"I could do without my warhorse; I could drag about in a skirt; I could let the banners and the trumpets and the knights and the soldiers pass me and leave me behind as they leave the other women, if only I could still hear the wind in the trees, the larks in the sunshine, the young lambs crying through the healthy frost, and the blessed, blessed church bells that send my angel voices floating to me on the wind."

Blurb: A soulbonder's "character notes and monologue work for Joan of Arc."

Why is it worth your time?: It's a short, ephemeral remnant of work from a soulbonding subculture of the past, giving extra pathos to Joan fighting those who would take her voices from her. Check it out!

Plural Tags: abuse not mentioned, creator speaks from experience, spiritual, voices

Content Warnings: It's a monologue from Joan of Arc's prison cell as she prepares to die. I don't know what you expect.

Misc Notes: Del was on Kurai's 1999 SB list. This piece is old enough and anonymous enough I felt safe to use the tag.
