it's been 58 days since I watched haurchefant die. I miss him.

[phoenixshards-a]

to be honest I had a pretty bad feeling listening to him say this. I shall do this and make you proud. Spoken to a father that never accepted him as his own son. and then you know what happens. I feel so betrayed by you guys. All those weeks you have listened to me fangirl about this guy, only to watch him die. for me. I am sobbing.

also the look on aymeric's face. I am heartbroken.

[phoenixshards-a]

been watching jujutsu kaisen all day thanks to @ofovertime reminding me how much I enjoyed it. look at my silly dudes.

[phoenixshards-a]

ffxiv needs to stop throwing these attractive men at me. Like, I was just minding my own business then this dude shows up. Help. I’m about to propose.

@shadowsthrall - continued from here

All Joshua had wanted to do was to save them, but once again he had failed. He had failed to protect these people, just as he had failed to protect his home and family back at Phoenix Gate. What good was he as a Dominant of an Eikon when he couldn’t yield its power for the purpose of protection? Once Clive and Jill and him had arrived in Kanver they had split up to search for survivors, but Joshua had quickly been cornered by the King of Waloed and now he was forced to watch the citizens becoming akashic one by one, turning into mindless creatures that could only think about killing and destroying everything in their paths. The Free City was no more.

Joshua struggled against Barnabas’ fingers holding on to his wrist to keep him standing here by his side, but the threat of bones being broken was not as painful as the ache he felt inside his chest upon seeing all this unnecessary cruelty and loss of life. Maybe he could have prevented this. If only he had been stronger..

Fiery wings spread from his back, his body glowing with the fire that was kindling beneath his skin and waiting to break free, but even as he tries to free himself from Barnabas one more time the fingers holding him where unyielding and the King seemed so unbothered by all of this. As if Mythos, no, Clive, was the only thing that truly mattered to him right now. Staring ahead with glowing blue eyes, taking in all the carnage Barnabas had caused that day, his gaze eventually returned to the other’s face.

“What is it you want with my brother? No matter what you will do he will never join your cause.”

[phoenixshards-a]

It had been such a beautiful quiet night and everyone in the Hideaway was sleeping when Joshua awoke with a violent cough. It was not something new to him, it was an issue he had been dealing with since he was a child, though now that he was older it was progressively getting worse, especially since he had tried to seal Ultima away inside his own body. The purplish glowing wound on his chest was evidence of his foolishness and desperation, in the heat of the moment it had been the only way to save his brother from the God’s possession, but ever since that day Joshua felt like his body wasn’t entirely his own anymore. His illness had gotten worse and he knew even with the help of Phoenix he was already weaker than he had been a year ago, but there was something else as well. Lately he had been suffering from occasional blackouts, just mere minutes throughout his days he couldn’t remember, regaining consciousness in places he didn’t remember walking to.

But worse than that was the voice. Joshua knew Barnabas Tharmr had a deep connection to Ultima, what with him being the False God’s most devoted follower, and he couldn’t explain why but ever since he had tried to seal Ultima away, it seemed like a connection had been established between him and the King of Waloed. And of course in moments like this, when Joshua could barely breathe, when he was in danger of losing himself to the pain Barnabas would not miss the chance to mock him. The King’s voice was smooth as silk in his head, the words dripping with elegance but also the familiar mockery.

“I think you are enough of a martyr for the both of us, Barnabas”, Joshua muttered quietly to himself as he rolled out of bed, wiping the blood off of his lips as he walked towards the table on bare feet, pouring himself a glass of water. With the cup in hand he made his way onto the little balcony that was attached to his room, sitting down in one of the chairs and looking up at the moon as he took a sip of water. He couldn’t help but feel like the moon that was overlooking the Hideaway was shining just as bright as Barnabas’ eyes did whenever he spoke of Ultima.

The cold water helped easing the painful itch in his throat, but it couldn’t calm the uneasy feeling inside his chest. What did the King want, and how was it possible they could speak to one another in the first place?

“Why can’t you sleep, your Majesty? Do nightmares of your God keep you awake at night, just like they do with me?”

⬩ starter for @phoenixshards ⬩

The king's mind is always halfway between this world and others. His thoughts are fragmented, distracted. Some are offered to Sleipnir, others sequestered away only for the purposes of receiving guidance from his Master, and still more are so buried deep that even he cannot access them anymore.

One more line of contact hardly makes a difference.

Barnabas has understandably grown adept at multitasking. In his physical body, he is currently moving food across a plate, distasteful and uninterested in his meal. In his mind... He is reaching out to Phoenix again.

It's a new connection, ever since Phoenix took a part of God into himself in an attempt to seal the Almighty away from the world. A pitiful move. Really, he has only opened himself up more directly to God's words. And those of his most loyal servant, Barnabas.

Barnabas of course had been quick to introduce himself, and has since been checking in from time to time. It has not yet worn Phoenix down--he has proven to be a spirited lad--but Barnabas is completely unconcerned. He has all the time in the world, of course.

"The pain is difficult tonight, isn't it?" Barnabas says to him in his mind. Because he can also access vague impressions here and there... Things the boy sees or feels, even strong emotions sometimes. It is in some ways fascinating. "I'm not sure what you expected, attempting to contain God himself. Or perhaps you like the pain. Makes a proper martyr of you."
