A despairing, painful sequel, in keeping with the prequel. Bonus points for hard words (Quotidian? come on!) and the use of “Ere”

There’s a sense of hope, of fighting back here that works well as a sequel. It’s almost as if she’s resolved to kill that which has been killing her. And if this were Scrabble, you’d totally win for use of the word “quotidian.” ;)

See? you can do poetry! (and you tried to convince us all you couldn’t in the Epic Challenge…)
All aside, this is beautiful. And I agree with the comments on the extended vocabulary. I’ve marveled at your word usage many a time in past works, and this is no different. (however, being a devil’s advocate at this moment, in this hypothetical Scrabble game of Ana’s and it was my turn, I’d follow it up with the word “qat.” Real word, it’s an evergreen shrub, I swear!)

This poem was piognant. I can’t spell, but I would try use it if I had my turn at this imaginary scrabble game. 5 stars.
