Desperately holding onto life with a vice grip, never letting go, never calming down, never taking a moment because if you do you might never start again.
That mad laugh of a man doomed, unable to do anything at all, but keep moving forward.
Saving others but unable to be saved yourself, you won't let yourself.
Calm down, my boy, tomorrow will come.

Was this a mistake? Yeah.
Was it his business? No.
Was that going to stop him? Absolutely not.
Desmond Hayden watched the duel with the eyes of a keen observer, from the moment of it's declaration to it's final stroke. The outcome was never in question only how that outcome might be achieved. And in the end the conclusion had come swiftly, decisively, and completely unexpected.
"I've seen the damned."
Green irises look at her, watching her movements, her motions. It didn't escape his eyes. Scarred hands come to rest against his belt, near his own blade, squinted eyes examining her. A grimace on western features that almost formed scowl. To cause undo offense to her would be grounds for a duel, honor demands it. He should be careful with his words, even if caution is something he has long lost.
"They tend' to murder with their eyes open. Revel in the slaughter."
His head cranes down to look at her, his shoulders relax. There is something coiled inside him ready and waiting. He has met those who thought him a fool, an idealist, and a brute.
"Why kill 'em if you can't even look them in the eye? If you have the power-"
He moves his hand from his sword belt, coming to place his index finger in the center of his palm. His words carry with it force, an accusation, a challenge. Because those who have done wrong should be challenged, because all too often people are afraid of death. The voice of those who should say something is quieted because of personal weakness.
"-to kill then you 'ought to feel it. Ya' took a life. That means something."
It always means something.
It had to.
✿✿✿ 𝒔𝒐𝒎𝒆 𝒎𝒆𝒎𝒆 𝒊 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒍𝒊𝒌𝒆𝒍𝒚 𝒍𝒐𝒔𝒕; 𝒂𝒄𝒄𝒆𝒑𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈
⸺ @burdenedreverence asked: “I don’t believe in turning a blind eye to something wrong.”
Enclosing her cursed blade within its sheath: she felt nothing. It wasn't her job to question the orders given to by the family ⸻ the family she sought so greatly to prove her worth. Feed Muramasa had become a priority within the Oda clan since her father became enslaved by the dark enchantment of the wicked blade. While bearing a greater tolerance to its beckoning, it rattled things about her that she sought to never explore. It scared her ⸻ that vision of her maternal figure, whom she could hardly remember, and the icy smile she wore.
To drown out the blade's yearning, she'd often close her eyes. She navigates better that way. The lament of the blade waning the longer she delved in meditation.
Stepping over the fallen one ( a victim unfortunate enough to call themselves an adversary ), she gives no greater than a shrug. Nothing personal; it was a bout which left the taste for blood bitter in the end. Perhaps what grates her was the legacy she couldn't escape ⸻ the moniker branded onto her kinship: TRAITOR. It wasn't far from the mark, for each she slew to empower that blade was a step closer to making an end of her father.
Some didn't quite agree with her ways.
❛ Oh ? ❜
Her voice flutters with curiosity, shifting her step and directing herself to face the taller one. She is someone unfamiliar to her, yet she could tell he's seasoned in his right. His concerns, however, remind her of the Yagyū who consistently questioned her path. It annoyed her.
❛ One shouldn't play righteous toward what's long been cast to DAMNATION. ❜
For that reason, she pushed him away, knowing well it was best she didn't get others involved.

"My blood is ancient, and thick, and honored. I have gazed upon the Black Throne, witnessed the rise of the Blood God, stood among the assembled Children of Haqim. I have been judged and not found wanting, I have judged the wicked. I lay claim to the blood of Sha'hiri, he whom was Eldest, whom ruled in the absence of Haqim. Elijah Ahmed, murdered by the Black Shepherd, a Warrior's lineage."
"Here, I will rebuild our home. Upon this rock, I shall raise home once more. A New Alamut, our Alamut. I swear this on my blood, and let it be reclaimed if I fail."

"Maybe you should try."
"But that's too much work, bah."
"Back when I was alive, you'd have your head taken for saying something like that..."
"Thankfully for you, that's not my sort of thing! Well, most of the time!"

It was never easier for the man to be in the presence of another’s, in truth as of late he found solitude more his speed. Those quiet nights spent contemplating things which he would never find answers for, his pursuits and purposes. Or left alone to his devices enough pushed to the limits in his physical exertions, preparing for a battle which has yet to come. When Astolfo shifts away Hayden offers a wordless glance, quietly moving to poke at the fire with a stick.
“Thank you.”
The words left him soft-spoken, something which feels strange from the baritone. There was an undoubtable tension which existed in him, like a spring placed under a great pressure in which the slightest provocation might release the at violent effect. His emerald irises peer from the fire to Astolfo.
“You seem the decent sort.”
The difficulty of speaking, to make a connection. His brain wondering what he might say, to progress this situation. Answers would be nice. He drops the stick to the side, a hand moves to rub at his own neck.
“I just don’t know what to say. Wars, Masters, Holy grails. It’s a lot. I’m just, an old fighter. Im not-“
The type of man anymore.
“-strong like I was.”
He’s lying and he knows it.

“I know it’s a horrifying situation, but you can’t fight every evil in the galaxy.”
“She can order me to my death, and I will go. And she knows it. As far as I can see, she will always pick Naboo, and I will always pick her.”
“Evil? I’ve fought evil, and it was easy: I shot it. It’s apathy I can’t stand.”
“We are brave, Your Highness.”
“My hands are yours for as long as you need them.”
“I don’t know what I’d do, I’ve guarded my heart against everything for so long, always aware of the dynamics and the flow of power. I’ve been lucky to find so many people who understand that and give me that space. I’m afraid that if someone breaks through, I’ll let them, and it would be catastrophic.”
“I’m not sure I want to mix politics and family, but I suppose it depends on a great many things.”
“Everyone who has ever seen you has underestimated you, haven’t they?”
“I know, you can like something even when you know it’s not going to last.”
“I encourage them to, I am small. I carry only a single blaster. And I’m usually wearing something much less practical-looking than these.”
“You can take mine to the ship, too, you little blue snitch.”
“It doesn’t make any sense! She wouldn’t just die. And an empire? Headed by Sheev Palpatine? Nothing about this makes sense!”

“I can order you to your death.”
“And I would go.”
“I can’t be that dedicated to you.”
“The girl in the white dress was going to be Queen, and she was ready.”
“And yet you are always second best, at everything you’ve ever tried.”
“The girl in the white dress was never going to be Queen, but she was ready.”
𝐐𝐮𝐞𝐞𝐧'𝐬 𝐇𝐨𝐩𝐞
“There’s a lot to be said for being yourself. Not everyone is meant to be a shadow.”
With all respect, Senator, that is exactly why you sent someone like me on this mission. You don’t approve of violence, and you never will. I admire that, and I have accepted it. All I ask in return is that you accept that I am the person you send when there’s the possibility of… aggressive negotiations.“
“When you say it like that, it sounds terrible, but at the time, I couldn’t imagine doing anything else. I still can’t.”
“You told me once that when you gave your heart to someone, it would be a disaster, I should have known you weren’t exaggerating.”
“It’s just always so thrilling. We never stop to work anything out because we’re always stealing a moment alone together or crashing into the next mission.”
“It sounds romantic.”
“Just like old times.”
“You’re angry. That doesn’t bother me. I’d be angry, too, if she picked you over me.”
“She was always the most beautiful thing he’d ever seen, but right now, she defied description.”
“My hands are yours… please don’t ask me for them again.”

The tea which he had been sipping on had been finished in the process of Okita talking. His hand came to set down the mug as he leaned back in his chair, arms crossing around his chest as he listened. Whatever thoughts he had hidden by the neutral expression save the tightening of his jaw, and the subsequent relaxing of it.
"Do you feel anger, or jealousy, because of this?"
The words come slowly perhaps almost harshly. As if to hold up a mirror to her face. His rough in that way but he listens.
It's not unreasonable for anyone looking from the outside to figure she might know more about her alter self than most - Okita can't fault that line of thinking. There's a grimace in her face as she listens to him - one by no means associated to the taste of tea she drinks.
"I don't think I can offer you all the answers you're looking for. She was always as much of a mystery to us as her own existence is to herself."
She began to recount in a solemn tone, the seriousness of her voice and the posture in her body a direct opposite to that of her Alter. For two beings who shared the same body, they could not be worlds more different from one another.
"But there are some pieces we've managed to put together from Chaldea's records over time. We know it begins with me - or more specifically, my older sister."
She hadn't thought about her family in a long time - those memories are so far from her now. Yet the sight of her siblings terrified eyes were still easily retrievable from the depth of her consciousness.
"Back in my mortal life - I was born deathly ill as an infant. She prayed to the heavens to give me a chance at living - convinced that I was destined for greatness."
She'd failed her in that aspect - but that was not relevant now.
"It's not clear, but - from what we understand - it was the counter force who answered her call. They gave me just under thirty years of life, in exchange for a piece of my soul to serve them. And Oki-tan....she is that fragment: The strongest possible version of my own potential."

Do you like tall girls with superiority-inferiority complexes bigger than their highest set of heels? Do you like someone who looks like she’s going to kill you and might kill you but is actually a cinnamon roll? Then you’ll love Marisol ‘Mariko’ Hagihara, who despite acting like a jerk is a teddy bear, deep, deep inside.
