Title: The Fable of the Escape Artist
Author: Cendri (venefica_aura)
Fandom: ICO (video game)
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: Darkness and death
Prompt: 155) Come on, let's wake up, and claim back our freedom, and the honor and dignity that they have usurped from us for so long. -- Moderata Fonte (Modesta Pozzo) (1555 - 1592), Venetian protofeminist and author of chivalric romance, narrative religious poetry, and dramatic dialogues.
Summary: Yorda's whole life had been a cage; but she had always been a bird meant to fly. An exploration of her thoughts during the game and the Queen.
Author Notes: I recently finished the game and quite fell in love with Yorda, so I decided to try and get her POV on things. Speculation on the Queen also happened. XD Massive spoilers for the game.
