                     ⸻ ✧ NESTA ARCHERON | verse: lady death.

    “ her screams were heard for miles. blood curdling. heart wrenching. as though someone had ripped her heart from her chest. she had felt it. his last breath, his last thoughts, feelings being of her. if she had been there, it would have ended differently. but this. this was not her fault. this was his. his fault and her sister’s fault. their pact. their pact to never die alone. her mate had. her mate’s blood had spilled and she would seek to right whatever wrong had occurred, even if it meant spilling more. “

cassian is killed in battle protecting rhysand, and while rhysand blames himself and would never have allowed such a thing to happen, nesta’s grief is too much to contain. 

nesta blames rhysand for not being there at that moment, she blames the pact feyre and rhysand made never to die alone. she blames them both. 

in the moments after, she demands cassian’s body, announcing that she is lady death, she will not turn her back on that title now, she will take it and use it for her own means. 

amren is the first to try and convince nesta that she cannot bring him back, that it is impossible, nesta reminds amren and the others that her bond with cassian was just as strong as feyre and rhysand’s and that she will prove it by bringing him home. 

in her grief and anger, nesta seeks out the power of the death gods, knowing that the cauldron, the mother would never restore what she had given back. and she is led to koschei. 

she is recognised as lady death, as the one who denied lanthys, the one who created ataraxia. 

there is a terrible jealous streak to nesta’s anger and grief in the sense that her sister was able to bring her mate back, but she has been left to grieve

therefore when koschei proposes they align, that the power of lady death and a death god would be enough to take the whole country of prythian, not just one court 

nesta’s main goal is bring cassian back, no matter the cost 

if she has to become a dark and vengeful queen to do it, if blood has to be spilled to di, she is more than willing
