Quiero que sepas que mi amor no sabe de fronteras, de barreras, de muros, bardas, montañas o mares... Cruzo océanos, navegó mares, desafío ríos ... Y mi puerto seguro siempre eres tú. Tu recuerdo, tu imagen, tu varonil figura.

Digo, grito, canto que te amo y así es y no me da miedo decirlo, es sincero y es de corazón. Está presente a pesar de todo.

WIP Wednesday

[This really should have been last week’s WIP Wednesday, but since I’ve only written a few sentences in the last few days - one of which is ‘He came to stand before the idol, standing tall and beautifully adorned where she stood, facing the door....’ I am going to skip giving you a larger sample of what I’m working at just now 😂😅]

Time to introduce a new OC for this tiny WIP snippet 🙌

Bardas is Brasidas’ ex-mentor and a close friend, and is a cousin of Archidemos. He’s about five years older than Brasidas, and (though this has never been mentioned in the text) he is in charge of the Iron House, which was the armoury in (historical) Sparta; a position which, in my head at least, is very prestigious. He’s a kind of mover and shaker behind the scenes for the Eurypontids.

I often think about how there was no real comprehension of depression (or other mental illnesses) in the ancient world, and especially in Sparta, where it was all about repressing feelings; so it crops up a lot in my writing. Long story short, Brasidas one way and another got in touch with his feelings, and often finds himself in the support role of his friends breakdowns.

This particular snippet occurs after Archidemos died in 427 - this scene is right at the beginning of 424. Mikkos was his lover who died before the beginning of this story.

***

Brasidas had just finished eating, and was heading out into the snowy dark when Bardas called after him. He stopped and turned back, waiting for him to catch up.

Though they saw each other as frequently as they always had, it seemed as though they always spoke of trivialities or politics. Bardas had grown quieter, more reserved, and Brasidas knew that it was more than an effect of the low morale that all of Sparta was suffering under that winter; it had begun with Archidemos’ death and hadn’t eased since. He always seemed tired. The one attempt Brasidas had made to draw him out about the root cause had been firmly side-stepped, and he’d taken the hint.

They embraced, and Bardas said, ‘Agis wishes to meet us tonight. He meant to send a messenger, but it was forgotten amongst the rounds of meetings today.’

[There’s a little back and forward here - but that’s spoilers so I’ve excised it :)]

[Bardas said] ‘I knew it was going to be harder to get things done when Pleistoanax returned, but I never thought he would be like this. The attack is constant and insidious.’ He sighed, a long sigh. ‘I’m tired of it.’

Brasidas tentatively suggested, ‘You miss Archidemos.’

Bardas glanced at him, hesitating, but said, ‘It has been difficult. Agis is a good king, a good Spartan, but he doesn’t have the same way of seeing to the heart of things.’ He paused, looking at Brasidas for a long moment before he said softly, ‘No - I can be honest with you.’ There was another pause before he said, ‘You’re right. I do miss him – as a friend, as a brother. I know I should have left my mourning behind, but I find I can’t. If I’ve been reserved with you of late, it’s because I don’t want to talk about it. Words…’ He shook his head, the bitterness back in his voice. ‘My whole life has been about words: what can be done with them, their utility, their power and their failure to have power when we most wish them to. No talking will bring him or Mikkos back; no talking will take the suffering away. Only time can do that, if the gods are kind.’ He looked at Brasidas then, and added in a warmer tone, ‘I haven’t talked to you about it because I know you understand, and that is enough.’

Brasidas could say nothing to that, only rested a hand on his arm for a moment, before turning the subject.

Ngozi Ukazu's BARDA

The nice people at DC were kind enough to send me an ARC of this with an eye to a possible blurb. Which I was delighted to give it.

This is going to be a fabulous read for anybody who's a New Gods fan—as I've been since early 1971. I've sworn numerous great oaths not to spoil anything (which is just as it should be)... so all I can do for the moment is point you at Barda's page on the publisher's website, and urge you to preorder this in the way that suits you best.

Ukazu is such a talent. Not only as a writer, but as an artist as well. She wasn't on my radar before, but she sure as hell is now. 😀

#ngozi ukazu #Barda #Big Barda #(as she will be some day)#Scott Free #(I particularly love the way Ukazu draws him)#(but then all the art in this is beautifully done)
