The Capricorn Lady gave birth to four daughters. Each different from the next, yet all daughters of the Lady herself.
Capricorn Daughter of the East, fiery and careless.
She evokes unknown emotions from the beings around her. Men gravitate towards her and like a moth drawn into the light they burn to miniscule ashes reminiscent of Icarus and his waxen wings. And she'd relished their demise.
Capricorn daughter of the North, strong and formidable.
She dominated the mountains with her liquid eyes. Men can’t do nothing but obey her every command and she built legions after legions of followers who believed that in her rests the entire world for their taking. And she too believed this victory.
Capricorn daughter of the West, gentle and silent.
She stood behind her mother and sisters, watching each step they take, taking care of their every need. Men asked for her marriage left and right wishing to make a wife out her pure and sensible beauty. And she kept silent all through it all.
Capricorn daughter of the South, loving and wise.
She watched from the highest peak as her sisters conquered every part of the land. She stood above them in deep thought, delighting in the infinite ideas and thoughts presented to her by each waking day as she followed their every move. Men could only wish to see her shadow and bask in its solid, tangible sensibilities. And she bowed lower for she understand she learns through them.
The Capricorn Lady looks into the sky, how is it possible that they all came from her when she’s all but none of what they represent?
