lacking power was something the dusk god had never truly experienced until his arrival in the city of spirale. while he'd never admit it, such a concept was rather terrifying. the last time he'd been so acutely aware of a corporeal body was before his world seemed to fall apart. before lucilius showed his true colors ⎛ or maybe before he was willing to really look at the other astral with eyes unclouded. maybe he did have a flaw from the start- his devotion and desire to be just as his predecessor was. a pair with his intended other half. lucilius was supposed to be his dawn. ⎠- it had been in the otherworld where he had been forced to drag his injured body back to the astral researcher and demand a primal beast's core.

perfect in spirit, but a corporeal form was always vulnerable in some way.

now, he quietly wished that shalem was here. that she would guide him as she once had when he was still adjusting to existence around him. he'd been stripped of his grand powers only to be left with a weak healing factor.

he'd made his way to a secluded area to give himself time to think.

after a while, someone else joined him. a small girl with long hair. a timid looking thing- but that didn't mean that she was harmless. appearances could often be deceiving. ❝ ... have you also come here to think? ❞

❝ there is much about this city that i must learn. ❞ for what was a god without understanding of the realm he would rule? to take his rightful place as a supreme deity, beelzebub would need to understand those who would worship him. a god was meant to be present- to be adored, not to be a distant thing lacking responsibility. ⎛ wasn't that the difference between himself and lucilius? between himself and bahamut? but first, he would need to build himself back from the ground up. ⎠

❛  you can't be here. go now!  ❜

he is not used to others telling him what to do. among the astrals, hesperus was revered as a great military commander- as the second dusk god ⎛ born of shalem's flesh in her image alone, golden and lovely and lonely ⎠ . beelzebub was known as a singularity of the astrals. wherever he went, he was only ever himself. that, too, was lonely. and he traveled wherever he chose.

you can't be here, comes a voice. when he looks, there is a child. one that speaks to him without fear- be it their own foolishness or not, he can't tell.

there's something about how they look at him that tells him that they may feel more confident around things that aren't like them. human, from the looks of it ⎛ and while he knows he shares many traits with humans on the outside, those similarities were only superficial ⎠

long ago, humans fascinated him. when he served as a silent watcher at the side of shalem and when he was the indifferent commander of the astral armies, he found humans to be something almost special. they fought to live even against impossible odds- and it was a pity that only one had ever really posed a threat to him.

⎛ how he would love to face the captain again. to grow and surpass. maybe he'd cast the captain down to the crimson horizon to see if that young skyfarer could find their way back. the strongest warriors were forged in the most torturous of flames, weren't they? like he was, all those eons ago. ⎠ ❝ and what is it about this place that makes it forbidden? ❞

❝ have i stumbled upon some sacred ground? ❞ they're so brave, this little human, because they don't know. he sees some parts of the being he once was in them- ❝ i go where i choose, but i am willing to hear your reasons first. ❞

@allhesaid ⎛ sc. ⎠

he should be used to this by now. people often stared at him- and for good reason. ⎛ pride will be your downfall, he'd been told. he doesn't remember who told him that, because they were long since dead. ⎠ created as a golden being, hesperus was a marvel of alchemy. forged from the broken remains of the evening star, beelzebub still held that divine glow- even with chaos swirling within ⎛ even when it ate away at him, hadn't he rebuilt himself from that, too? ⎠ and even when soaked in the blood of the otherworlders- blood of his enemies- there was something beautiful about him. so of course people stared.

it seems that this man was waiting for him to make eye contact in return. and so he does.

since this man seems to have been staring for a fair amount of time, beelzebub decides to humor him. for a human, the other isn't unattractive, but such things were so fleeting for mortals ⎛ was he still immortal when he had been stripped down to his core? when all he could do was heal small wounds? ⎠and in time ... no mortal could be golden forever. ⎛ that cagliostro girl would beg to differ, but that was something for another day- ⎠ ❝ are you simply going to stand there in silence, mayfly, or is there something you want from me? ❞

@blightsbite ⎛ sc. ⎠

there is comfort in familiarity. in performing a task that was so engraved into him that even chaos could not make it rot away. here, the dusk god stood, staring at a group of floating islands- sky strewn, he'd been told. and he certainly didn't miss the skydoms- but there was still quite a bit of beauty in it. without the power he'd gained from his rage and grief, beelzebub knew better than to simply act on impulse. not when he was still so unfamiliar with the world, with the vulnerability-

with the chance to really build from the ground up ⎛ and oh, how he hoped he'd be able to rub it in lucilius' face! the sorry excuse for a new dawn god who had abandoned his purpose of creation to seek entropy- ⎠

there were many beautiful places on these sky isles, so different from other parts of the strange world, but not so different from the unique styles of each skydom that he'd seen. and the people, too- different from the ones he'd observed before ⎛ but still so distant. since his creation, everything around him was as fragile as an insect ⎠ - and wasn't that what he had to do now? 「 hesperus, this is what you were made for. evening star, you will then destroy and clear the way for new life. 」 maybe he'd missed this more than he wanted to admit.

after a time, he spots someone interesting- rather, it seemed he had been spotted. this time, it's a young man with white hair, and he thinks back to long lost days. while his divine senses seem to have been lost somewhere in this strange awakening, his intuition remained. there's something holy- or it should've been holy. like a light that was snuffed out before it could truly burn.

he's reminded a little of lucilius.

[astralend]

idk how new astrals were made but idk i feel like they didn't have clothes when they spawned ... and he was cloned anyway??? scribbled this out and whatnot ...

[astralend]

「 hello hesperus, welcome to existence- 」

there is a soft light breaking through the clouds, and for the first time in quite a long time ⎛ perhaps ever ⎠ , the dusk-god has no idea where he is. in a way, he's not quite sure who he is either, because everything feels different. he knows that the feeling is something called fatigue- a rarity for astrals. he knows that something is wrong because the primal beast core is quiet and the searing pain of chaos is no longer there. for the first time since his awakening, he feels a strange sort of peace.

outside, there's a bustling city full of beings that he has never seen before, and he has seen many universes ⎛ because that was the burden of being a singularity. wherever he went, he remained as he was. it begins the same way every time. hello, hesperus ⎠ and wasn't this the proof of his bond with his maker? shalem would've watched the people too. shalem would want to learn about them. and hesperus followed in his creator's footsteps, the young dusk-god knew nothing but to do that. once, it brought him comfort.

but he wasn't hesperus anymore, was he?

hesperus had died writhing and screaming at lucilius' feet. hesperus had been torn apart by chaos.

beelzebub had been born from the dead dusk god and had locked away the tattered remains of a being that had no more potential left.

hesperus had been golden and beautiful and perfect. beelzebub had only ever seen perfection as something pitiful. and he had surpassed his limits time and time again- clawed his way back from the crimson horizon- and now?

a part of him wants to be angry. a part of him is angry. stripped of divinity and power, left with a lackluster healing factor-

⎛ hello, hesperus, shalem says with a small smile, her gentle hand running through his golden hair- there is so much to see in this world. you, my perfect golden being, will watch the world. but i want more for you, too. i want you to grow and change. she wraps him in a warm robe and leads him to see his first sunset.

hello beelzebub, says a strange being- something no more than an insect, lacking the familiarity he had kept in his memory. spirale has much to offer. it will change you, whether you want it or not. ⎠

spirale will change you. yes, and wasn't that the beauty of it? if this was where he would begin, then he would build himself better than before. he should be angry- he is angry, but more than that, there's a sense of peace. ⎛ an eclipse has passed, but the sun will set, soon. ⎠

it will change you.

between seofon getting laid in the event and summer bubs i feel so fucking fed

[astralend]

happy sunday bubs knows he's hot and now it's everyone elses problem

[astralend]

wheezes please know that bubs didn't do drugs (chaos) and then decide "im going to be adonis incarnate" it was genuinely

hesperus vc i like the color scheme my creator made for me but i need to distinguish myself as my own entity and also i need to be physically strong to lead the military so i guess i will do this but i don't want to be too different from shalem because she is the reason for my existence and i care about her

he picked that form and it wasn't for attractiveness' sake, it's that when he did drugs his personality warped and that ... sends me
