Chiaroscuro | Aquila/Graf Zeppelin |

Chiaroscuro - the use of strong contrasts between light and dark in art

She loved the sunrise.

Not just for the aesthetics, although she couldn’t deny that - the sky may be where she fought, but it looked so beautiful lit up with the purples, oranges, blues and golds that went with the sun instead of the grey smoke and bright flashes that came with aerial combat.

No, she loved the sunrise because of how it lit up Zeppelin. She wasn’t always awake, but that wasn’t an issue - she looked more peaceful asleep, with all the worries and stressors of her life (past and present) gone. And while time couldn’t erase the scars, it brought relief and newer, more pleasent memories. Warfare could hardly be called elegant, for all the Royal Navy tried to make it, but this time they would fight together, and that made the time together outside of sorties so much sweeter.

And, of course, this was certainly a sweet memory. Her silver hair splayed over the white pillows, in stark constrast to her black nightgown. Had Aquila the time, she would have eternalized this scene in paint, had it hung in museums for centuries to come.

But she did not, so for now, she would enjoy the sunrise and the company.
