Chapter 56 writing prompt for Children of Blood and Bone. This writing prompt is about experiencing peace again after a long time.
Chapter 56 – Zélie
We zip through the crowd while celebrants thrust and shimmy by our sides.
Though part of me wants to cry, I crane my neck to take in the crowd, craving
their joy, their life.
The children of Orïsha dance like there’s no tomorrow, each step praising the
gods. Their mouths glorify the rapture of liberation, their hearts sing the
Yoruba songs of freedom. My ears dance at the words of my language, words I
once thought I’d never hear outside my head. They seem to light up the air
with their delight.
It’s like the whole world can breathe again.
This message can be compared to feeling peace after experiencing something tragic such as war or just anything that makes you feel your always in danger.
