walkin' with his head down, i'm the one he's walking to

A/N: this is for the summer fic exchange!!! it started out as something completely different, but here we are. This is for the amazing @laurenairay I really hope you like it and that your summer is going well. This is my first time writing for Quinn Hughes so here's to trying something different. Quinn is so cute, so I hope I did him justice. This was inspired by “Call It What You Want” by Taylor Swift, which is so hurt/comfort to me. So here we are with Quinn being comforted after the game seven loss to the Oilers this year. thank you to @wyattjohnston for hosting this amazing exchange!!

Walkin' with his head down, i'm the one he's walkin' to

summary: the series didn't end the way you or quinn was hoping, but you weren't going to let him hang his head for too long

rating: t

i'm laughin' with my lover, makin' forts under covers

trust him like a brother, yeah, you know I did one thing right

starry eyes sparkin' up my darkest nights

“call it what you want” - by taylor swift

The final seconds ticked away and it was obvious this game wasn't going to end the way you or Quinn wanted it to. He and the rest of the Canucks gave the series everything they had, but McDavid and Draisaitl and company proved to be too much in the end. You felt Brock's girlfriend Bella wrap her arms around your middle, a soft sob escaping her as she rested her head against your back. It was hard for you not to cry, too. The boys had worked so hard to get to this point, they had fought all the way back to take the series lead, only to falter in the most important game and now the off season would be starting.

“I thought they had it,” Bella murmured and you could only nod. You really believed this year was going to be their year. They won the Pacific Divison. They beat the Preadators 4-2 and had home ice advantage in this series, which you knew would be tough, but still..

A tear couldn't help but trickle down your cheek. They had all the pieces to go far, maybe even all the way, and instead they would be packing up their lockers, doing exit interviews and the summer would be starting earlier than any of you anticipated.

“Me, too, Bells,” You agreed with the blonde who had become your best friend since you started dating Quinn just a little over a year ago. The two of you hugged each other tight, watching as the fans made their way out of the arena. You separated from each other after giving each other a kiss on the cheek and went down the steps to the locker room.

Everything seemed to be happening in slow motion as you waited for Quinn to appear. Out came Elias, skull cap pulled over his buzzed blonde hair, flashing you just a brief smile before his handsome face transformed into more of a grimace. JT was not standing tall, but hunched until he was embraced by his family. Brock gave you the best grin he could muster, nothing like his usual sparkling grin that you had come to know almost as well as Quinn's soft smile.

Then came a familiar head of soft brown hair, longer than it was when you first met Quinn in the hallway of your shared apartment building in downtown Vancouver. His head was down, his shoulders slumped, like they were holding the weight of the world. Your heart couldn't help but break. You knew how hard Quinn had worked to get to this point, how he took on the burden of being Captain and how seriously he took the C on his chest. He didn't want the Cup for himself, he wanted it for Brock, for Elias, JT, Thatcher, for Coach Rick Tocchect. He was so selfless and put the team first above anything and everything else.

All you wanted to do was take his pain away, to put the bashfully sweet smile you knew so well back on his face.

“Hey, you,” Quinn gave a weak laugh and there was a hint of the smile you fell in love with on his lips, making your heart lift slightly. “You can really smile you know,” You tease, reaching for Quinn's hand. “I know this didn't go the way we wanted to, but if you don't smile I'll think you're not happy to see me,” You joke and Quinn does laugh, for real this time. “Y/N,” Quinn's voice is tender as he cups your cheek in his other hand. “I'm always happy to see you. If you weren't here right now, I'd be going home to a dark apartment to just sit on my couch and think about all the things I could have done better. Instead, I'm going home with you, which makes this easier than it would be otherwise.”

You flush from Quinn's words. You want this to be easier for him, to ease some of the weight he carries and you think you know just how to do it.

Quinn can see the wheels turning in your head, see the spark that's suddenly taken over your deep eyes. He arches a brow and you kiss his cheek, teasing, “Just wait. I know just how to make this not seem so bad, but you tell me if it's too much, okay? I just want to be here for you, however you want me to be, Quinny,”

His cheeks turn an adorable shade of pink, showing through the playoff beard he's grown. Your heart skips a beat; even a bit run down after a hard fought series, Quinn is still the cutest boy you've ever known. With his big sad puppy eyes, his soft mop of dark hair that curls over his ears, his pink lips and warmly handsome face.

“Relax,” You say as you unlock your shared apartment's front door. “Just sit on the couch, don't do anything except take off your shoes, take a shower if you want, change into something comfy but leave everything else to me, okay?”

Quinn chuckles to himself and gives a joking salute, “Yes ma'am, but there is one other thing I want to do before you do whatever it is you're going to do.”

You blink curiously as you tilt your head, wondering what this one thing could be and then Quinn is touching your cheek, so gently as he presses his lips against yours. This kiss is the sweetest, softest kiss you've ever experienced. You continue kissing each other softly, neither of you wanting to pull away as your fingers sink into Quinn's wonderfully soft, thick dark hair. He nips on your bottom lip, gently, making you moan his name as his other hand wraps around your waist, anchoring you to strong frame.

You break apart out of necessity and Quinn says, “Now I'll go relax and leave you to your surprise,” and you're so tempted to follow him, heat thrumming through your veins, want clouding your thoughts as your eyes follow Quinn until he disappears down the hall.

Somehow you resist the urge, remembering that this night is about Quinn, that even though the game ended in disappointing fashion, you weren't going to let the night end that way.

Flipping through your contacts, you find the one you were looking for and you can only hope you have all the ingredients for the recipe you're planning. Talking to Ellen Hughes feels so much like talking to your own Mom. Her warmth radiates from the other side of the phone as you facetime and you feel relieved that you do have all the ingredients for her famous Kugle, which is Quinn's favorite food.

You're not the best cook but Kugle is easier than you expected. You laugh with Ellen as she goes over the recipe step by step with you and after the casserole goes into the oven, you see Quinn standing in the doorway of the kitchen, looking adorably cozy in a t-shirt and plaid pajama pants.

“Is that my Mom?” He asks, his voice so childlike his big brown eyes lit up with hopefulness and Ellen answers for you saying, “Hi, Sweetie. Y/N just called me. I'm so sorry...” and you leave the kitchen, letting mother and son have this time together, knowing Quinn needs the comfort of his Mom now more than ever.

“You made Kugle,” Quinn's voice is full of wonder as you reappear in the kitchen after changing into something comfortable yourself. “Is that why you called my Mom? So you would know how to make it? I could have helped,” He huffed a little, a pout forming on his beautiful lips, which made you laugh. “I'm the only one of us that knows how to make it. Mom shared her secrets with me,” He's proud, his chest puffing a little and how did you get such a sweet guy to call her your own?

“If you made it that would defeat the purpose of you relaxing,” You shake your head as you and Quinn walk toward each other and share another kiss unable to resist each other.

While the Kugle continues baking, you reveal part two of your of your surprise. After changing into your comfiest outfit – a shirt that used to be Quinn's and a pair of well worn shorts – you set up a fort in the living room with all the blankets and pillows in the apartment. “A fort?” Quinn's eyes are bright like they should always be and you smile just as bright. “A fort,” You confirm. “Figured after tonight you could use something fun like a fort and something comforting like your Mom's Kugle,”

Quinn wraps his arms around you from behind, his chin resting on your shoulder. “I like the way you think,” He kisses your cheek and you blush.

Getting under the blankets, you fire up Disney Plus and land on Toy Story. You know Quinn as well as you know yourself after having been together for nearly two years now and you know how much he loves this movie. Just like if the roles were reversed, Quinn would know to put on Pretty Woman or Tangled.

The familiar credits start just as the oven dings and before Quinn can get up, you push his shoulder gently saying, “I don't think so, you stay right here,” and he knows better to argue with you, so he stays put, laughing as the toys in Andy's room start to move around, letting the audience in that they're alive.

“You're a Toy!” Quinn shouts along with Woody after the new spaceman toy “lands” in Andy's room and you laugh, getting in a few Bo Peep lines and Slinky moments as Quinn can't help but get in the Woody lines before they happen. It's no surprise the cowboy is your boyfriend's favorite and you can't help but remember your first Halloween together this year when you dressed as Woody and Bo Peep to the Canucks party.

You enjoy the Kugle even stealing some of Quinn's who says, “Hey,” and shields his plate from you.

You're snuggled up together as the last credits play, Quinn humming along with “You've Got A Friend In Me.” He kisses you on the forehead and sings in your ear, “Some other folks might be a little bit smarter than I am, bigger and stronger too, maybe but none of them will ever love you the way I do, it's me and you,”

You giggle sweetly as you finish the song with the familiar refrain, beaming up at Quinn, “Boy and as the years go by our friendship will never die. You're gonna see it's our destiny. You've got a friend in me. You've got a friend in me. You've got a friend in me,”

You kiss each other softly, your tongues meeting as your hands move over each other's bodies. Your foreheads come to rest against each other's, your breath coming in soft pants as you look lovingly at each other, Quinn's big hand on your back, his fingers moving over your spine as you sigh, “I love you so much, Quinn,”

His cheeks flush – even though you've been saying I love you for months, it still makes him blush, like he can't believe you love him, which is insane, how can he love you – and your heart flutters like always whenever you're under the stare of his warm brown eyes. “I love you, too. This was amazing; just what I needed after tonight,” He says softly, his voice so tender and honest.

In your fort it's like nothing can touch you here, like, what happened tonight – the devastating loss – didn't happen. You hope you've given Quinn just a little relief, that his heart doesn't feel as heavy as it did when he watched the last seconds tick away or when he was in the handshake line or addressing the team in the locker room after, and the soft smile on his face as he holds you close tells you, you may have done all of that.

The next morning, you wake up in Quinn's arms, the safest place in the world and you smile at how serene he looks sleeping. The worry he carries with him is gone, the lines in his face smoothed away while his long, thick lashes resting on his cheeks. You see the smile creep across Quinn's lips telling you he's awake and his voice, thick with sleep, teases you, “Take a picture it'll last longer,”.

Quinn's humor is sneaky and you poke him in the ribs. “Like you haven't been staring at me too,”

Quinn's eyes open as he stretches and he says, “Can you blame me? I've never seen anyone as beautiful as you,”

“Smooth,” You remark and Quinn laughs. “It's not often, I am,” He admits and after a lazy kiss you find yourself sitting on the stools of your kitchen's island as Quinn makes breakfast.

Last night may not have ended the way both of you wanted, but today was a new day and there would be a new season on the horizon and you would make sure Quinn's days leading up to training camp and then opening night would be the brightest. You wouldn't let him get down on himself or believe he could have done more. You were going to make him believe in himself and believe in the team he had help build up to be one of the best, and that started today.

STRAWBERRY VANILLA

SEPT. 2021

[ takes place in the bless the broken road universe ]

summary jack and (y/n) aka winnie meet for the first time

pairing jack hughes x fem!poc!reader

warning(s) none?

word count 1.2k

It's a late Sunday evening, and you find yourself knee-deep in baking preparations for the upcoming morning at the bakery. Normally, this task was reserved for early mornings, requiring you to rise at the ungodly hour of 4 am. However, the prospect of waking up so early had lost its appeal, so you had opted for a late-night baking session instead.

Despite the soft hum of background music, the relentless downpour outside remained unmistakable. The rain pounded against the windows, a symphony of nature's fury that was everyone's least favorite song. As you worked, you held onto the hope that it would subside before closing up. The thought of venturing out into the pouring rain wasn't appealing, and the idea of driving through the intense downpour filled you with a nervousness that you couldn't shake.

You're in the midst of placing some freshly baked, unadorned cakes into the refrigerator when the distinctive chime of the entrance door bell sounds, pausing you from your task. Your expression shifts from concentration to momentary confusion, as you're almost certain you'd locked that door. However, the distant murmur of a stranger's voice calling out confirms your earlier suspicion that you must have forgotten to secure it.

Hastily, you exit the kitchen, halting as you arrive at the front of the shop. Your gaze fixates on a tall figure, draped in clothes soaked by the non-stop rain. With practiced ease, he sheds his hoodie, revealing a sculpted physique beneath a clinging, rain-dampened white t-shirt that accentuates the contours of his well-defined torso.

"Sorry, we're closed." Your voice cuts through the air, drawing his attention like a magnet. He swivels his head towards you, his deep-blue eyes locking onto yours. An exasperated sigh escapes his lips, and he runs a hand through his tousled, chestnut hair, his fingers tugging lightly at the roots before releasing them.

He appears oddly familiar, and you tilt your head slightly, straining to recall the distant memory of where you might have crossed paths with him before.

"Can I ride out the storm here for a bit, just until the rain slows?"

His question hangs in the air, tinged with a hint of pleading in his tone. You find yourself intrigued, unable to ignore the curiosity about what drove him out into the storm. Though your initial instinct is to refuse and tell him to leave, you can't deny the surreal feeling of this encounter. It's not every day that an attractive stranger stumbles into your bakery, seeking shelter from the tempest outside. It's as if you've stepped into a scene from a novel, a meet-cute destined to unfold. Yet, you're acutely aware that once the storm passes, your paths will diverge, and this fleeting connection will fade into memory.

"You can stay until the rain stops, or until I leave." You agree.

A warm, appreciative smile graces his lips as he nods in gratitude. "Thank you so much."

"Sure." A subtle, awkward tension lingers in the air, leaving you feeling somewhat uneasy about resuming your work in the kitchen while leaving the stranger alone in the front of the bakery.

Instead, you opt for some light cleaning in the front. With deliberate motions, you wipe down the tables, sweep the floor, and diligently review and sign some pending invoices.

Despite your efforts to stay occupied, that lingering sense of awkward tension gradually returns to fill the room as there is nothing else up front for you to do.

"Did you want something to eat? I have cake, donuts, and some other stuff."

He shifts uneasily, his mouth opening and closing as if he's uncertain how to respond to your offer. You look at him expectantly, arms crossed over your chest, and a slight sway in your stance as you roll onto the balls of your feet.

His hesitation finally gives way, and he responds, his teeth grazing over his bottom lip. "What kinds of donuts do you have?"

A grin spreads across your face as you step over to the counter where he's standing. You reach behind the counter, retrieving a menu and flipping it over to reveal the section dedicated to mouthwatering donut options.

Shoulder to shoulder, you take a moment to walk him through each of the donut flavors. Some are classics, like the indulgent Boston creme, while others venture into the realm of culinary creativity, like the pineapple basil donut.

"How about..." He pauses briefly, contemplating his choice. "Strawberry Vanilla?"

You accept the menu from him with a nod, then pivot toward the kitchen. Swiftly, you retrieve two strawberry donuts from the fridge and arrange them on a spare plate you have lying around. With a deft hand, you pluck two napkins, ready to serve the treats.

Returning to the front, the handsome stranger remains in his original spot, engrossed in his cellphone. You clear your throat, gently guiding him to the side as you hoist yourself onto the counter. His gaze meets yours, uncertainty etched across his face. A reassuring smile graces your lips, and you pat the space next to you on the counter. He hesitates for a moment before mirroring your actions, and the two of you settle side by side on the countertop, indulging in your donuts together.

"Oh my god," he exclaims between bites, his enthusiasm palpable. You glance at him, a mixture of amusement and pride washing over you as his reaction to the donuts you made becomes increasingly evident. "This is insane," he declares, his words filled with genuine appreciation.

"Thank you." You thank him, laughing softly as you take a bite of your own donut.

A comfortable silence envelops both of you, with only the soft background music as your companion. Your eyes occasionally dart toward him, quick glances to avoid being caught staring. It's become clear, especially now, being so close to him, that he is undeniably beautiful.

Surely, he must have a girlfriend, right? There's no way he doesn't. You try to push aside the twinge of disappointment that accompanies that thought, but it lingers at the base of your chest.

He wipes his mouth with his napkin, then turns to you with a curious expression. "Crazy, I never noticed this place was here."

You immediately shake your head, eager to share a bit of your story. "Actually, I just bought this place a few months ago. I think it used to be a vegan place or something."

He appears genuinely surprised by your admission. "Wow, you own this place? You look pretty young."

A sheepish smile plays on your lips. "I'm 20."

His eyes light up with shared astonishment. "Me too!"

"And what do you do for work?"

Before he has the chance to answer, a sudden knock at the door jolts you back to reality. A taller boy, strikingly similar to the one sitting next to you, stands outside. It seems neither of you had even noticed that the rain had stopped, leaving the sky a light grey.

"That's my brother," he says, sliding off the counter. He retrieves his hoodie from the floor, draping it casually over his right shoulder.

"Thanks for the shelter." He says. "And the donut," he adds, flashing you a warm smile.

"Of course," you reply with a nod. "Drive safe."

"Yes ma'am." And just like that, the handsome stranger you'd shared laughter and conversation with for the better part of a half-hour is gone.

mari speaks! consider this a part one i suppose.

man about town interview | spring/summer 2014

for the tweam! click through for my best attempt at deciphering this (maybe impossible to find?) throwback interview

‘’I don’t think I’m scary at all. It was kind of funny watching myself being scary. Because I’m not scary.’’ Says Evan Peters, the up-and-coming up-for-anything actor best known for his extreme roles on American Horror Story, the prestige television series that treats social taboos as map points. For three seasons, Peters has excelled at playing against his offbeat boyishness by amping up his young Malcolm McDowell intensity, with results that fall somewhere between ‘’teen dream in strangler’s gloves’’ and ‘’terrifying Michael Cera.’’ He most recently appeared in American Horror Story: Coven as Kyle Spencer, the good-natured university student who is decapitated and then reanimated with the body parts of his Kappa Lambda Gamma brothers as a temperamental Rocky Horror who beats his sexually abusive mother to death with a trophy.

Over a bold chai tea with stevia, at a restaurant in Venice, California, Peters is lighthearted and dryly humorous, like a young Michael Shannon, with whom he should costar in a successful disturbing family sitcom. He wears black jeans, a well-worn t-shirt under a plaid flannel, and a necklace with a toy dinosaur pendant. He drives a 2004 Pontiac Vibe that he correctly describes as ‘’vintage’’; says that he just feels like growing his longish blond hair into a ponytail, and has a red thumbs-up permanently inked onto the to pof his right hand, that was traced over a nightclub door stamp. At one point, he raises his forearm to show off a temporary tattoo that he received the night before at the castle park family entertainment center in Sherman oaks. ‘’This is a Belle tattoo. It’s not real,’’ he explains playfully of a small portrait of the beautiful young heroine from the animated Disney film Beauty and the Beast. I tell him it’s very pretty. ‘’Thank you. She’s gorgeous,’’ he responds. I ask if Belle is his favorite Disney princess. ‘’Well, I picked her out. There was also Jasmine, Ariel and Cinderella. My other buddies got those.” ‘’What about Belle appeals to you?’’ ‘’She likes the Beast.’’ Peters says.

This summer, Peters appears as the teenage Mutant speeder Quicksilver in X-Men: Days of Future Past, the sequel to 2011’s X-Men: First Class, which has proven to be an eventful ??? movie. In October 2012, director Matthew Vaughn – who relaunched the franchise with much needed style and a new cast of young, indie + credible actors – left the film to be replaced by original trilogy director Bryan Singer. As such, fans were already touched when Singer announced that he would retell ‘’Days of Future Past,’’ the seminal X-Men time-travel storyline from 1980, an ambitious plan turned wild when he revealed that both franchises would merge into one. Cut to the 2012 San diego Comic-Con whereby unthinkable feats of scheduling – the sprawling casts of the modern-day first series and the 60’s era prequel (that include expensive names like Jennifer Lawrence, Hugh Jackmon, Halle Berry, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellan, Michael Fassbender, and so on). Convened with ??? new additions like Peters to unhinge popular culture. ‘’You think to yourself, ‘’wow, people really, really love this stuff.” And it makes you appreciate it more. It makes you work harder at it.’’ he says about the experience.

Peters’ role in the films is crucial but concise. ‘’It’s a huge, huge opportunity but I always make sure to tell people it’s just one scene. Easy, it's just one scene.’’ Peters says, as if talking down a rearing horse. Quicksilver has already been the subject of film industry chatter regarding lawful usage of the character, who is both the son of Magneto and a colleague of the Avengers, making him fair game for inclusion in both Days of Future Past and the 20n5 Avengers sequel (in which he will be played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson of Kick-Ass). An Empire magazine Preview of Quicksilver’s costume design was greeted with comparison to Kid Vid, a ‘90’s cartoon form of the Burger King ‘’Kid’s Club,’’ and the news that Peters had been saddled with the Halle Berry “rough wig’’ role. But his fan’s enthusiasm for the project—in which desperate X-Men from a dystopias future try to stave off mutant genocide by altering the present day—is undimmed. ‘’I think it’s the best film of the francise yet,’’ proclaims Peters. ‘’It’s pretty dire. It’s a pretty epic situation. But there’s definitely some humor in there. Its’s just badass, man.’’

Quicksilver is a departure for Peters in some ways if not others. Both X-Men and Horror Story are tight productions that take extensive precautions to protect story lines. Peters says that he did not receive the full script for X-Men until arriving at the Montreal location days before shooting. Horror Story pages are often delivered the night before a scene. The short lead time can demand a ??? almost improvisational acting process. ‘’The minute we get the script, plans are cancelled, dinner is cancelled,’’ he says about working on Horror Story. ‘’Some of it you’re like, ‘Oh shit, I have to do that?’ Screaming and crying, realizing that my whole body is pieced together and I’m not myself? I’ll probably have to work on that.’’

Peters owes his career to television. ‘’I was watching a lot of TV and I kind of wanted to be on the TV and in movies. I love movies and TV,’’ he says, and cites inspirations like Joaquin Phoenix, Heath Ledger, Christian Bale, George Clooney, JIM Carrey, Chris Farley, Tom Hanks in Forrest Gump, and the millennial teen comedies Even Stevens starring Shia Labeuof and So Little Time with Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. ‘’That sort of stuff. I just really wanted to be a part of it and loved acting and performing.’’ He moved to Los Angeles with is mother when he was 15 years old, and steadily won work in television, on shows including Phil of the Future (2004) and One Tree Hill (2008), and in movies like the independent films Clipping Adam (2004), his first big break, and later Kick Ass (2010). Being cast as Tate Langdon in the first season of American Horror Story in 2011 was his tipping point, playing a Skull Boy-faced high school shooter in a latex catsuit who rapes his girlfriend’s mother to please a ghost. He has since become one of the five main players to appear in all three season of the series, sterling company that includes Jessica Lange, Sarah Paulson, Lily Rabe and Frances Conroy.

Now the world gets to enjoy a lighter side of Peters, like when he appeared on a 2011 episode of the G4 networks Attack of the Show and blithely volunteered that he was working a a rap song called ‘’I’ll Tap That Fucking Ass.’’ He laughs off a request to recite a verse. ‘’I can’t. That never materialized. I tried but it was too much pressure. It was just a concept. I was just trying new ideas,’’ he says, and then volunteers a different musical direction. ‘’It’s called ‘Natch Snatch.’ Like all natural snatch. Big bush. Snatch. Cause it’s nice. You know, ‘girl, you’ve got that natch snatch.’ It’s another nice concept. Probably on the same album.’’ Peters laughs in agreement at the suggestion that he is a kook in the best sense of the word. ‘’I get called a weirdo sometimes,’’ he admits ‘’But it’s like, I don’t feel that weird. I don’t feel that different. I look at everybody else and I’m like, ‘’you’re a fucking weirdo, too. You like all of your shit. I like my shit.’’ Why does one have to be weird and one have to be normal? It doesn’t make any sense to me.’’ Meanwhile, he seems to be successfully negotiating his public and private persona. ‘’I’ll try to be myself as much as I can but you obviously can’t be who you are at home in your skivvies eating donuts. You can’t be that.’’ He explains, before confirming that guy exists, with his tongue sort-of-in-cheek. ‘’You bet he does. Yeah, definitely watching New Girl. Crying.’’ But while Peters seems fairly comfortable in the public eye, fame no longer interests him. The development is not unrelated to his intense, closely-watched relationship with fiancée and two-time costar Emma Roberts (on coven and in the 2013 ?? Adult World) ‘’When I was younger I was like, ‘’That would be awesome!’’ now I don’t particularly love it,’’ he says ‘’Emma gets paparazzi a lot, and because I’m with her we get paparazzi, so it’s kind of a weird thing that I don’t love. But it’s so small in the big picture of all the positives that come with this job that I can’t really complain about it.’’ he may be surprised by the attention he and Roberts receive, but he is hardly self-ptying. ‘’Honestly, it’s not that bad. If you don’t set up a Google alert on yourself and go out searching for it then you’re not going to see it. So I don’t see it.’’ Roberts has already endured the Hollywood learning curve that Peters is now experiencing. ‘’She gives me advice, like cut your hair. She likes my hair to look nice,’’ he says, and laughs. ‘’She’s been around and knows the ropes and how to play the game very well. And she has incredible social skills. She can talk to anyone and everyone loves talking to her. I’m not that good at that stuff so she kind of helps me out with that.’’ I wonder what guidance she offers him. ‘’You’ve just got to be personable and talk to people, even if you don’t want to. Put on a happy face and buck up. Grow a pair of balls. Don’t be a little wuss.’’ Petersa says, and laughs. ‘’I mean, she doesn’t say that, but you know what I mean.’’

Next for Peters is Lazarus, opposite Olivia Wilde, Donald Glover and Mark Duplass a 2015 feature from director David Gelb, known for the documentary Giro: Dreams of Sushi. Peters describes the project, about a team of brainiacs working magnanimously to reanimate the dead, as a “contained Sci-Fi horror thriller” as it mostly takes place in one laboratory setting. He plays the party animal scientist. Peters encouraging sidesteps the questions of his involvement in the next season of American Horror Story, to be set in 1950 and the present day, for which Jessica Lange is practicing a German accent. ‘’I don’t know what I’m allowed to say so I’m going to say no comment,’’ he says.

‘’At the end of the day it is acting. You want to go with the biggest, weirdest, boldest shit and see if you can actually do it and go there,’’ Peters concludes, ‘’I’m very curious about everything. I feel like I don’t know that much. I’m trying to learn it all and figure it all out.’’

This item, H.R. 7152, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, faced strong opposition in the House Rules Committee. Howard Smith, Chairman of the committee, refused to schedule hearings for the bill. Emanuel Celler, Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, attempted to use this discharge petition to move the bill out of committee without holding hearings. The petition failed to gain the required majority of Congress (218 signatures), but forced Chairman Smith to schedule hearings.

88th CONGRESS. House of Representatives No. 5 Motion to Discharge a Committee from the Consideration of a RESOLUTION (State whether bill, joint resolution, or resolution) December 9, 1963 To the Clerk of the House of Representatives: Pursuant to Clause 4 of Rule XXVII (see rule on page 7), I EMANUEL CELLER (Name of Member), move to discharge to the Commitee on RULES (Committee) from the consideration of the RESOLUTION; H. Res. 574 entitled, a RESOLUTION PROVIDING FOR THE CONSIDERATION OF THE BILL (H.

not true - Luke Hughes (part two)

PART ONE; click here

summary; Luke Hughes x reader.

Luke reads your fanfiction and wants to prove to you he's not a bad cook.

warning(s); maybe grammar errors, angst, fluff

author's note; if you like it - let me know ♡ happy weekend!

--------------------------------------------------------------

You got three hours to clean the house, clean every room and get yourself new clothes on. You wanted to change your clothes. You forgot the time because you had to clean literally everything.

Nothing happens the way you wanted. Your hair is sticking up, you're not shaved and your kitchen still looks like a bomb explosion. You're not a messy but the last work shifts were so exhausting and you just wanted to sleep.

Nobody could know Luke Hughes wants to visit you.

And your worst nightmare comes true - the door bell rings after three hours.

Luke Warren Hughes is standing on your door and you're barfeet with a mickey mouse shirt on. The door bell rings again, you feel how you want to sink into ground but here you are, opening the door.

A tall, skinny man looks on your shirt. "Ehm..eh..hi?",he nervously jiggles with his right feet. He's wearing a dark jeans and a lumberjack shirt. It suits him. It suits him well.

"Don't say anything", you warn him. Your cheeks getting heated, embarrassed about yourself.

This man is your celebrity crush for 8 months nonstop and you're standing in this shape in front of him.

"I'm sorry for being late..I had to fill my car with gas because I forgot to do it beforehand and i needed to go grocery shopping", he holds a plastic bag in the air with something greenish in it. Ew, it looks damn healthy. You thought he brings some chicken nuggets from McDonald's or something like that.

You wink him in the house, no clue what you're doing with this man now. In your fanfictions you would grab his arms and kiss him until you both can't breathe anymore but this situation is awkward.

"Do you want something to drink?", you ask politely, "water, please", he thankfully smiles and steps into your house.

How can his smile look so cute? How is he real?

How the fuck is he so tall?

You give him some water and sit down in the kitchen. His cheeks are burning too and he's quiet. This man wrote you, a fangirl, drove over three hours and now he's speaking about nothing.

"What are you cooking today?", you start the conversation. "Oh I'm cooking one of moms receipts", he talks with a voice crack. "You'll like it!", his eyes sparkle enjoyment. "It looks really healthy ", you touch the broccoli like it's poison, your face expression says enough.

Luke stands up and swiping on his phone after the receipt, "it is but I bought us ice cream after this", his calm voice fills the room.

"Wait, you're staying after dinner?!", you're shocked. Shit, you wanted to call your parents.

"Oh, I can leave after this. Don't worry", he bites on his lips, he looks insecure like I hit him in the face. "no no-", you want to save your situation. So bad.

"It's okay", he shows you thumbs up and turns around, preparing the broccoli and cheese. And green things, you never saw before.

"What do you want here?", your voice sounds powerful. Inside you're afraid to hear the real reasons.

"You're a talented writer", he answers. "And?", you re-ask him. "is it a bad thing to visit a fan? Some would pay money to see me", he shrugs his tall shoulders. He's cooking besides talking, avoiding your eye contact.

"it's weird", you stop the silence between you two. "I know", he looks in your eyes.

"Ok you have ten minutes to ask me every question you want to know about me", he starts with a new topic.

"Do you have a girlfriend?", the words fall out of your mouth. "Nah", he stirs in the pan. The green something. Whatever this is.

"Why not?", you are interested, "it's not easy to find out which girl truly loves you when your older brothers are good looking and famous and you're the baby". Your face looks completely out of mind. It makes sense. "Do you like roleplay?", you're asking without thinking.

"What?", he turns around. Poor pookie.

"Sorry, forget that one", you smile.

"Do you read fanfictions?", "yes". It surprises you. "Why?", "why not?".

The food is ready and Luke put the pan with the food on the table, ready to eat. To be fair, it smells good.

You take your first bite, and it's an taste explosion. "Thank god for Ellen", you groan in heaven for this green food.

"Maybe you'll meet her one day", his ears turns tomato red. "I love your fanfictions, I really do", he smirks. "thank you?", it sounds more like a question than as a sentence. "but you're right, you're not the worst cook".

"It sounds weird but I think you could be a really good friend", he explains, ignoring your last sentence. His plate is empty. How can he inhale so much food in seconds?

"a good friend?", you're ready to go, crying in the bathroom. It's more than you ever imagined in your life.

"Yeah I mean friends, dating, you know..all the same", his voice cracks begin to get more.

"Dating?!", you stand up in your shirt, ready to pass out. Omg if you pass out, Luke has to do CPR. Jackpot.

Your phone is vibrating and playing the song 'boombastic'.

"Luke i need to-", you get hectically. "Hi mom! Hi dad!", you fake a smile, turning yourself around to hide Luke in your kitchen with the dinner.

"our baby girl! How are you doing?", mom replies lovely. Luke loudly breathes in, because he choked on his own food.

"Who is the guy in your house?!"

Biography

Backstory

Enira's origin and birthplace is certainly from the Lands Between. It is known that her biological parents were tarnished as well and that they were robbed of their grace.

After being abandoned in a tower’s doorstep, Enira was raised by a well knowing sorcerer, and grew up to become an excellent astrologer and a good warrior.

As grew up, Enira was admired and beloved in her lands, as she was fighting for the good of people and justice. She was always giving supplies and food to the poor people and she was sacrificing herself in battles and wars, until one day when she was called to the Lands Between.

Enira was chosen by Grace to become a tarnished, so she crossed the fog and came back to her birthplace, the Lands Between. With the command to become Elden Lord, gather all the great runes of the demigods and find Queen Marika, her journey had just begun.

Beginning

When Enira first enters the lands between, she finds herself in the bridge of anticipation. She is forced to fight a spidery grafted monster, until the ground beneath her collapses and she falls down, into a hidden tunnel, where she is found by a mysterious girl atop her horse.

Enira enters, first encounters and meets the Lands Between from the southern region of Limgrave. In there she travels stops in variant locations such as ruins, caves and catacombs to find treasures and encounters enemies, such as knights or monsters, whom she fights with her magic being her one and loyal weapon. Enira is constantly attacked by foes, humans and monsters but she manages to overcome struggles and defeat them.

Limgrave

When Enira reaches the walls of the most known and important place in Limgrave, the Stormveil castle, she is approached by the known mysterious girl, who introduces herself as Melina. Melina offers Enira an accord, to take her along in her journey as her finger maiden and to escort her into the base of the Erdtree, the sacred tree, afar from Limgrave. Enira accepts the offer and promises to take Melina with her and Melina happily offers her her spectral steed, Torrent, with which Enira gets to ride with, throughout her journeys.

After she learns about her mission and accords she encounters many new faces and many new friends, a witch sent by Melina to give her a spirit calling bell, a young girl named Roderika, whom she takes under her protection and an Iron Fist named Alexander. And most importantly she gets to be taught in sorceries arts by a fabulous sorceress named Sellen.

When Enira falls into a trap and gets locked away in the distant lands of Caelid, Melina offers her one more guidance, a safe place for all the Tarnished to be gathered, the Roundtable Hold. When Enira arrives encounters more closest friends to her, Brother Corhyn, Master Heugh, Fia Deathbed Companion, Sir Gideon Offnir D, hunter of the dead and the Knight Diallos. Not long after Roderika arrives to the Hold, with the help of Enira; she becomes a well capable spirit tuner and a close friend to Enira.

Enira gets to spend some more days in Limgrave, where not only she makes great discoveries but also gets to encounter many people and new friends. One of them is Patches, who at first fought him but eventually they made peace. In the end though, Patches keeps tricking her and putting her into various traps and trouble.

In one of Enira’s journeys, she encounters a young blind girl named Irina, who claimed to have escaped from the Castle Morne, a place where the servants rebelled. Irina asks Enira to deliver a letter to her father, the lord of the castle, for which Enira agrees to. Enira delivers the letter to Irina's father in the castle, defeats the great enemy in there, until she finds Irina killed and her father weeping over her. This devastates, marks Enira's heart and gives her the highest motivation to save this world from evil. She decides that she must find her destiny, gather all the runes and find all the demigods that hold them.

Enira heads back to the Stormveil Castle where she fights Margit the Fell Omen, walks through the castle where meets another sorcerer friend, Rogier and eventually reaches and fights the first demigod and shardbearer, Godrick the Grafted. After a restless battle between them and struggling she finally defeats him with her magic and she heads to the Divine Tower to gain his Great Rune and her first great rune.

After she gains the Great Rune of Godrick she becomes more respected and adored in the Roundtable Hold and she gets much closer to her friends, who deeply admire her. But now that Enira became a more powerful sorceress everyone starts to expect more of her and ask her favours. Sir Gideon gives her more information about the Demigods that hold the tunes so she arranges her next plans. Fia and Roderika start to get more closer to Enira and they feel her like a family member of theirs.

Enira and Knight Diallos seem to be romantically interested in each other but the current missions and current conflicts do not allow them to develop a full relationship.

Luirnia of the Lakes

After her journeys and trips in Limgrave she moves to the northern lakeside lands of Luirnia, her destination being the Academy of Raya Lucaria. There, she meets another sorcerer friend, Thops and a giant turtle pastor named Miriel with whom she discovers even more about Carian and Glinstone sorceries to use for her future battles.

On her way to the lake she also meets a rude fellow boil prawn man and a young mysterious girl named Rya whom she helps. Rya sees the abilities and properties of Enira and invites her to the Volcano Manor, to have an audience with her lady. Enira is given an invitation and Rya invites her to the Altus Plateau, Grand Lift of Dectus.

Enira finds a key to the Academy of Raya Lucaria and when she enters, she finds more and various sorcery scrolls and spells. She is informed that the next rune keeper, Queen Rennala of the Full Moon, resides there so she begins to prepare herself for this upcoming battle.

When Enira gallops through Liurnia she finds Diallos weeping over the body of a woman. She learns that the woman Diallos was looking for, Lanya was killed by some recusants.

After this incident, Diallos struggles with the pain of Lanya’s loss but Enira tries to support him and remains there for him. This, although a dark twist of fate brings them even more closer.

One day, Enira is requested to go and erase a flaming sphere floating above a tower in a village and when she rides to it, she witnesses for the first time, the Frenzied Flame, which maddens whoever sees it. Enira completes her mission but she returns to the Roundtable Hold, tortured with weak eyesight, endless headaches and illusions. It is Corhyn who heals her but this flame gives Enira restless nightmares.

In Between Adventures

Enira gets informed that in the horrific and sickening lands of Caelid there are various important treasures that she can find, so she heads towards it and searches for them. Although the place is filled with nothing but horrors and the rotting sickness of Scarlet Rot she proceeds and gets through the place and finds those treasures.

A particular mage named Gowry asks Enira to save a young girl named Millicent, a girl suffering from Scarlet Rot and she eventually agrees. She fights Commander O' Neil, takes the needle needed for Millicent's sickness and heals her, which gives her one more close friend.

In the Roundtable Hold, Fia asks Enira a favour, to deliver a dagger to D, to which she agrees. But soon Enira discovers that this dagger was a death throning trap for him, which eventually ends up killing him. When Enira discovers what she had done, killing an innocent man, falls to her knees and cries in remorse.

Enira discovers a medallion to enter the northern areas of Altus Plateau through the Grand Lift of Dectus, where she encounters Rya. Rya takes her by teleportation to the Volcano Manor and there, Enira meets Rya's lady, Lady Tanith. Tanith gives her the opportunity to join the Volcano Manor and take part in a war against the Erdtree. Enira, remembers what she had done to D because of her naïve agreement to Fia so she denies the request and leaves the Manor.

For a short time she visits and wanders around the areas of Altus Plateau to discover new treasures, but the stories and the past of these lands bring her nothing but sadness and sorrow. A sorrow that hides deeply inside of her and that grows bigger by the passing of time.

When she gets fully prepared she heads back to the Academy of Raya Lucaria and she fights with Queen Rennala, claiming her rune. Even though defeated, Rennala was still alive in her room, in the same depressed state and Enira questioned her actions and reasonings every time when it came to Rennala’s remembrance.

The merchant friend of hers, Kalé, tells her that in the Mistwoods a wolf's howling is heard constantly. Kalé tells her the way to call him to her and when Enira visits the place she meets a half man and half wolf warrior man named Blaidd. The two of them immediately become friends and she agrees to help him in a fight of his. Blaidd seems to like Enira and her company and hopes to see her again.

Service to Ranni

Enira heads from Luirnia to Caria Manor and heads through the misty castle of blue crystals and lights, where she encounters foes and enemies alike. She defeats a royal knight spirit named Loretta and she meets the same mysterious doll witch that gave her the spirit calling bell who introduces herself as Ranni the Witch. Ranni tells her that she has stolen death long ago and that now searches for the dark path and offers her the chance to serve her. Enira instantly agrees and enters her service. Ranni, after finding a strong minded spirit in Enira, tells her to cooperate with her other servants, Blaidd, a war counselor named Iji and a sorcerer named Seluvis and all of them to search for the hidden treasure of Nokron. Enira trusts Blaidd and Iji in this but she detests Seluvis, especially when she finds his secret chambers where he holds lifeless and motionless puppets whom he uses for his own purpose. Enira, when discovers his monstrous actions tricks him and buys one of his puppets, planning to bring them back to life into their bodies in the future. At first she hands the puppet of a finger maiden, Therolina and she returns her spirit inside her body. Therolina thanks her and requests her to become her finger maiden. Enira though, having a maiden already takes her to the Roundtable hold where she shall find her new Lord someday.

Enira and Blaidd begin their journey to find the eternal city of Nokron. In there, they both notice that they can clearly see the city above them, floating in the sky but cannot reach it.

After Enira talks to Seluvis about this topic, with the help of Sellen discovers that in order to reveal the way of Nokron they must bring back the order of the starts and free the fate of Mistress Ranni. By doing so, they must defeat General Radahn and free the stars from his holds. Blaidd tells Enira that there is a festival held in the Redmane Castle in Caelid, where great champions will all be gathered to fight General Radahn and invites her there, to take part in the fight as well.

Enira, after getting fully prepared for the Festival, reaches the Redmane Castle and encounters Blaidd there. She also encounters Alexander, the iron fist and the finger maiden Therolina. She is told the story of General Radahn and she gets to take part in the battle. When all of the champions reach the battlefield of General Radahn, they encounter a restless powerful huge warrior. In the battle Enira takes the active role, to cast her strongest sorceries on him atop Torrent and she is the one to be striking the most effective shots. During the battle though, Enira is brutally attacked by Radahn's shots and a spear of his actually punctures her whole chest. Blaidd, gives Enira courage, heals and revives her back, and so Enira continues fighting with everything she has left. She is the one to now encourage the champions to fight harder and her own shot finishes the battle. After Radahn is defeated a shot of shooting stars is seen in the sky above them.

After their victory, Enira returns to Caelid where her friend Millicent tells her that she needs to take back her mechanical arm in order to follow her purpose and fight. Enira searches for this particular arm of Millicent's inside a chest of a castle, near mount Gelmir but she gets poisoned by the waters and the scarlet flowers that fill her body with scarlet rot.

The sickness of Scarlet Rot torments Enira for days in the Roundtable Hold. The pain, the red vomiting and nightmares of hers not only did great damage in her body in her but also in her soul. Her hair started to fall, her skin became pale and dry and she got dark circles under her eyes. She changed so much that feared to reveal her face to anyone, therefore starts to wear a hood over her face. In order to be cured she needed to proceed with a painful flaming treatment with the help of Corhyn.

Eventually, after her recovery, she receives a message by Blaidd to free him from an Evergol prison that he was trapped into. When Enira encounters him and frees him he tells her that Iji trapped him in and when he sees her state, he gets worried for her and offers her to escort her in Nokron.

Enira returns to her mission and she heads to the crater, of the star that struck Lingrave after the battle with Radahn. She reaches the Eternal city of Nokron and encounters Blaidd. In there she is forced to face the most difficult enemy that she has ever faced: A mimic of herself. When she fights her own self she has to fight not only her own achievements and spells but also the silver tongue that she uses against her enemies, now used against her. This makes her face some of her own weaknesses but the easy process of defeating her makes her realise that maybe she is way weaker than what she may think. When she talks to Blaidd about this they start an opening conversation about their shared stories, which brings them closer. Enira eventually finds the hidden treasure of Nokron and delivers it to Ranni. Ranni thanks Enira for her efforts and rewards her but then also sees the current state of hers and tells her the story of her stepsister Malenia who suffered a lifetime of Scarlet Rot and convinces her that the sickness cannot really change who she is but only the state of her body.

After that, Enira visits Iji and confronts him about what he did to Blaidd. Iji explains to Enira the connection that Ranni and Blaidd have from the Two Fingers and the dangers that he can emerge through himself and Ranni.

Arrival in Leyndell

After Enira's achievements she decides to fulfil her ever first mission, her mission to Melina. She reaches and enters Leyndell, the royal capital where a demigod, Morgot and his rune are located. When she reaches it she faces a larger place of depressing stories that make her feel nothing but sorrow but she still proceeds through her enemies and keeps up. When she reaches Morgot and defeats him, with the help of Melina, she discovers that all this time, her dear friend Melina wanted her to escort her to the Erdtree so that she would sacrifice herself to burn it down. Enira, when discovers that Melina sought her help for her own demise breaks down and she tells her that she will consider the continue of her journey, that was almost coming to an end. Melina tells her that she shall be waiting for her, until she is ready to fulfil her duty.

Later

After the discovery of Melina's destined fate Enira runs away from her duties and she proceeds in helping one of her friends, her teacher Sellen. But the more she helps her, the more her life begins to be ruined. In the end, Sellen dies after Rennala kills her. This makes her so guilty that wipes away her will to help others by the fear of hurting them.

Enira is informed that Blaidd is located in the city of Nokstrela. There, she finds a Ranni's miniature doll which actually speaks to her. She proceeds on many and various missions that Ranni tells her about, such as defeating dreadful shadows and her enemies until Enira actually saves Ranni and gives her back her Dark moon ring. For this she earns Ranni's eternal gratitude and kindness.

When she pays Blaidd a visit she finds him hostile and maddened, so much that in his fury he actually hurts her. Even so she does not kill him. Enira is so saddened for Blaidd's state that decides to help him and free him from Ranni's bounds, now that her tasks are done. She discovers from Iji that the only way to release Blaidd from his bounds is to fulfil this sorrowful mission of hers and to sacrifice Melina, therefore to burn the Erdtree, so that Blaidd's maddening bounds with the two fingers and his bounds with Ranni will be broken.

The snowfields

Enira is convinced by Melina to do her quest, so she visits the Snowfields and she proceeds with other adventures. In those adventures though the depression grows bigger inside of her, especially when she finds out that a spirit she has been carrying with her, was a spirit of a young girl. She spends days in the endless freezing grounds and she sinks into sadness and misery with no one to support her.

When the time arrives, Enira defeats the Fire Giant of the mountaintops and she is forced to sacrifice Melina and burn the Erdtree. When Melina is burnt along with the Erdtree, Enira breaks down, bursts in tears and she recalls everything she has lost ever since she has become a tarnished. She desperately yells and calls out for the fingers and Marika herself to release her from this burden and she collapses on the freezing ground, while embracing Torrent hoping to die out. But, in there, Ranni finds her and helps her with her mission by taking her to the Volcano Manor in order to claim her next rune.

Service to the Volcano Manor

Enira does not remember how, but she ends up waking up in the Volcano Manor, with her clothes altered and her body exhausted. She encounters Lady Tanith once more and this time, she accepts her request to join the Volcano Manor, hoping this time by going against the Erdtree, she will help this world be fixed. This also, means that maybe she shall gain an opportunity to avenge for everything she has been robbed off since she became a tarnished.

She spends some days in the manor and she changes her appearance by putting more darker makeup on her. She also makes her cheek scar from scarlet rot more visible. She starts to use more weapons, rather that just her magic spells. With her appearance and her ways changed it is her personality that changes as well, but not in the good way. She starts to become enraged, violent, cold, distant and introverted. In the Manor she encounters once again Rya, Patches and Diallos.

Rya reveals herself to be a half serpent and that her real name is Zorayas. This does not change Enira's point of view towards her and Rya trusts and opens up to her. Enira feels like an older sister to her and she promises to Tanith that will protect her and respect her. Even though she creates a bond between them and becomes her protector she still fears to reveal her warmer self to Rya.

Patches starts to enjoy Enira's company ever since she arrived to the manor, though he has tricked her many times in the past. Even so, Enira hides her friendly self deep inside and acts cold heartily and distant towards him.

Diallos, upon meeting Enira again begins to open up to her again and the two of them begin to develop a closer love relationship.

Enira fulfils various missions from letters delivered by the manor and her friends and she defeats 5 in total people of her own kind. Her tactics now seem to start to change and now she even begins to use blood magic towards her enemies. The last tarnished she defeats in the snowing mountaintops, named Juno Hoslow, calls her a "vicious monster" before he draws his last breath. Enira starts then, to realise that she has become a completely different and evil person ever since she had joined the manor. After that battle, when she returns to the manor, Diallos finds her severely injured and bloody in the room and about to pass out so he offers his help and treats her wounds. After that he proves her that he cares about her and that he actually loves her. And for the first time Enira spends a quiet and peaceful night with someone she loves.

During her stay at the Volcano Manor, Enira makes her efforts to become more open and heartwarming towards her new friends but the memories of her past and everything she had lost still haunts her mind. Enira and Diallos spend more days and nights together in the Manor and they share their losses and past demons.

Rya, informs Enira that behind the doors of the manor she can hear distant mysterious voices and of course Enira decides to check it out by entering a hidden labyrinth of the manor. And when she does, she discovers the dark secret of the Volcano Manor, of secret chambers, torture methods and tormented people in cells. Her horror turns out to revive back her old good justiciable self but this time much stronger and with no fears or restrictions. Discovering the truth, she makes the determination to continue her mission and gain her next rune which is now held by Praetor Rykard, Lord of the Volcano Manor, therefore she will then stop the Volcano Manor.

The following days, she gathers supplies and preparations for the big fight that is going to happen to haunt down Rykard. But, eventually, Rya discovers that she was born not by grace as told by her mother but of a horrible curse. In her desperation, Rya pleads her to kill her and end her suffering but Enira breaks down and she tries to explain her that she is important and wonderful just the way she is and that she is a kind and generous soul that she adored. Rya, determined to leave the manor behind for good she leaves a letter to Enira and tells her that she will leave the manor and that she thanks her.

Diallos, after so many moments with Enira, he decides that if he leaves for his next mission he wants her with him, so that they could live and fight together without restrictions or rules.

Enira finds this a new chance for her to escape from her burdens and she agrees to follow him, in this path of his and then, after she gathers supplies to haunt down Rykard. Diallos' mission was to go and defend the living jars in Jarburg, where Alexander is coming from. In there, Enira is beloved and adored by the jars especially by the very little nephew of Alexander. For a specific period of time Enira lives a quiet life in the village, but still remembers that there is a mission for her to continue, to kill Rykard.

Enira goes back to the Volcano Manor, defeats Rykard with a specific weapon given to her and so the Volcano Manor is finished. She says her last goodbye to Patches and she leaves the Manor for good. Then she claims the great rune of Rykard and she has in total 4 great tunes.

After the battle with Rykard, Enira returns to Jarburg and discovers that while she was gone some poachers came and broke the whole jar village and she also finds Diallos, near dying. Moments before his death he tells her that he loves her. Enira spends her moments weeping over him and then, it is when she discovers that the Volcano Manor has actually ordered her to kill his brother, without him or her knowing it before. After she buries him she decides to leave the roundtable hold for good and to quit her mission that brought her and others nothing but death and pain. When she finds the roundtable burnt down she says her last goodbyes to Roderika and Master Heugh and she leaves the hold for good.

After that Enira heads to the cathedral of Manus Celes, she summons Ranni and tells her to take all of the runes and to hand them to the next tarnished that will take her place. Ranni questions why would Enira do that and she tells her desperately that she cannot stand this anymore, that she is tired and that she is no longer to take care of Marika's messes for claiming a title if it is to cost her everything she has actually cherished in this land. Ranni at first tells her that she understands completely how she feels and that this was the very reason she casted her empyrean flesh away. She agrees that the two fingers being nothing but pain to people and the tarnished but she reminds Enira of all the long way she has walked, all her pain and suffering throughout her labouring mission, claiming that she must not give up now, that her mission is ending. Enira gets mad at Ranni for leaving her so she decides to move in absolute solitude where no one could find her, in the consecrated snowfields.

To the consecrated snowfields

After all of this troubling past she had, Enira now spends her days in the cold in a troubling mind state, mind state of illusions and visions and she is left all alone. As time passes, Enira dresses herself as a black knife so that she is feared throughout the world.

Throughout her journey in the snowing area, Enira keeps hearing voices of her dead loved ones, but they do stop only when she rests on the sites of grace. There is but one single voice she keeps hearing while resting, the voice of a young boy who pleads her to save him. Even though Enira's help will was always clear, she denies his request. Even so, the boy's voice keeps talking to her and he offers her cure for her illusions on the way.

Enira keeps talking to the young boy, being her only company, in the sites of grace, tormented by the cold and the loneliness. After she finishes the request of one friend of hers, Latenna, she arrives in a mysterious abandoned city, where the boy pleads her to open four torches and to open a particular gate. The moment when Enira opens the portal, she realises that she has arrived in a large, tree palace named the Haligtree.

The Haligtree

After Enira arrives to the Haligtree, she understands and realises that the boy's voice is the actual spirit of Miquella, the demigod golden child, son of Marika and cursed to live an eternal childhood. The treehouse that she arrived to, is the very Miquella's Haligtree. Miquella tells Enira that his real body is trapped somewhere in the distant hidden lands and that he needs her, to release him, with the help of his twin sister, Malenia. He suggests that Enira must reason with Malenia and to exchange her great rune, for guiding her back to him. At first Enira tells him that she has abandoned her duty long ago and that she is actually planning to give up her runes somewhere else, but even so Miquella keeps hoping that she will change her mind.

After Enira learns what kind of Demigod Miquella was, how loved he used to be and how he always wanted to cure other people, she understands that this is the chance for her to be the saviour of a defenceless person decides to go and do as he asked.

When Miquella promises a reward to Enira, Enira asks from him an unalloyed spell that will drive out the madness out of her friend Blaidd. To that, Miquella agrees and promises to give it to her so that Blaidd can be saved.

Enira defeats multiple enemies on her path and eventually, with Miquella's voice being heard, to support her on her way and eventually she arrives in the palace of the Haligtree, Elphael.

Elphael and Malenia

When Enira arrives in Elphael, with Miquella's instructions she arrives in the very roots of the Haligtree and she encounters, the twin of Miquella, Malenia who suffered a lifetime of scarlet rot and prosthetic limps, but being an excellent and unbeatable sword maiden. Enira and Malenia fight for a little, this being the most difficult fight of all fights for Enira and eventually, Enira manages to win. When she knocks Malenia out, she removes the blade from her prosthetic hand and she explains her with logic that she can find Miquella for her. Malenia hears her words and she agrees to help her, to eventually find Miquella together and help her in battle as often as she can. So from now on Enira and Malenia become partners in battle.

The Blood Dynasty

While Enira begins her search for Miquella, she takes the advice of Sir. Gideon Offnir who tells her that Miquella's body location is in the beneath grounds, in a particular red blood palace. He says that he was kidnapped by a "blood omen". This blood omen is later revealed to be Mogh.

Although Enira does not understand this at first, in her journeys she encounters the very first person she met in these lands, named Varré.

Enira serves Varré and she goes through variant missions of blood assassinations to actually enter the palace of Mogh. In one of them is is forced to even injure her finger.

After the complete of the blood missions Enira and Malenia visit the Mogwyn palace where Miquella's body is found slumbering within a cocoon. Both women enraged, Enira and Malenia fight Mogh and they release Miquella from his bonds. After Miquella himself is free from his bounds and allowed to return to his slumber, Malenia begs for Enira to come with her in Elphael and to help her restore the Haligtree. Enira, thinking that she has finally found the most capable Elden Lord to restore the peace, agrees to stay but only if, Malenia agrees to hold the great runes for the next tarnished and to help Miquella become Elden Lord.

Before Enira gets her answer from Malenia, the repay she asks from Miquella is to give her a way to cure madness of Blaidd just the way he cured the madness of his sister. Miquella then offers her a needle of his, which could serve this purpose.

To save Blaidd, Enira sends her friend, Millicent to inject the needle to her wolf friend. But in everyone's surprise, Enira actually goes missing in the Elphael Haligtree after her loud scream is heard all over. She is looked for everywhere but she is nowhere to be found.
