13 & 29!

His Little Brother

Thank you so much for the numbers! 💙 Well, it was a lovely combination of two IQRUS song, Goodbye by Ramyes (from Arcane) and Doom by Imagine Music. So, since I already planned to write this scene in the near future, I've lived with the opportunity now. Context: The cult experimented on making a specimen of the mix of a human and a zaphrin (angel/lesser god-like creatures) that can erase other zaphrins. Adran happened to be the best candidate to this role, so they made him insane and turned him into an eldritch monster, then went to the Everocean to destroy Auva and kill Dane. It's almost the end of the book.

ADRAN COHREN | BODY, ELDRITCH HORROR | GORE | BLOOD | WC: 819

Adran’s jaw – that nauseating, deformed piece of his face where his sharp, shark-like teeth slumbered – clenched together with an ear-shattering crunch. His Evolved hand closed over Dane’s neck with ease. It seemed so tiny compared to his clawed arms that Dane tried to draw blood from with his weak fingers. To no avail, however. The scales that grew over Adran’s translucent, slithery skin could stop lasers from slicing them through. A mere scratch of a human being was not near to harming him.

Adran’s neck twitched as he saw his brother’s tears escaping from the side of his face.

“Ad…ran…” he forced out the letters with the air that rushed out from his lungs but couldn’t get back anymore. His face slowly turned into the purple of the sunset behind him. “Fight… it…”

ɪᴛ ɪs ᴛɪᴍᴇ, ɪɴsᴇᴄᴛ.

He watched Dane struggle, desperation and terror pooling into his ocean-blue eyes. No. ʏᴇs. His brother let out a gutwrenching cry as Adran’s claws tightened, his neck bruising visibly. No! NO!

ʏᴇs, ʏᴏᴜ'ʀᴇ ᴍɪɴᴇ. ɪᴛ ɪs ᴛɪᴍᴇ.

Electric shockwaves ran down across his skin, right into his bones, the little sparkles popping up here and there in the ooze that dripped from his whole body. His mind had been out of his reach, thick fog and froth washing Adran farther away from himself. Numbness sunken him deeper and deeper locking him into a dark corner of his existence. He’d seen his grotesque, eight feet tall self lifting Dane higher through an old screen, not his eyes. He was lost. He was doing what was best.

It was the best for Her. And so it could be the best for the world as well.

Adran saw what he was doing. Through a screen. Through… he saw his arms and a scar on the sensitive skin between two lines of scales.

A scar.

ɴᴏɴsᴇɴsɪᴄᴀʟ.

His scar.

ᴀsɪɴɪɴᴇ.

The scar he got when he saved Dane. From falling. From dying. He stirred in his numbness. Adran looked down at Dane’s remnant of his mechanic leg. He ripped it out of their fitting. He trashed in the shadows of his mind, trashed for air and freedom.

He was choking Dane. The one he saved and has scarred himself for. Dane lost his leg that day, the day he got his scar. When they were kids. He saved him. From falling. From dying. His Dane.

Adran looked at his gagging, deepening red face.

At his little brother.

NO!

Adran’s mind buzzed and whirled, it melted and bled as he screamed his throat raw when he finally forcefully took the control back over his body. He immediately let Dane go, then with his eyes jumping everywhere at an insane speed, he turned around to look at the source of this bone-crushing unease, this madness.

At Icharo Astin, The Golden Prophet.

He couldn’t describe the guttural loathing that his form presented under the golden robe, and he didn’t try to. With the thin thread he could grab of his sanity, Adran charged towards The Golden. The vessel’s floor thumped under his large, oily feet, the air around him resonating and tearing apart. The Golden did not move as if he was sculpted from stone-cold confidence. He stood there as the grand statue of lunatics. He was indestructible. Death couldn’t lay a hand on him.

Adran, however, was worse than death.

And so he broke through the invisible, yet crushing resistance that this man’s, this monster’s cosmic protection had lifted before him. There was a slight hint of surprise in The Golden’s unreadable, faceless expression when Adran soundlessly roared at him and began to rip him out of existence. He surprised a God, after all. ᴅᴇsᴛʀᴜᴄᴛɪᴏɴ. ʏᴏᴜ'ʀᴇ ɢᴏɴɴᴀ ᴅᴇsᴛʀᴏʏ. ʏᴏᴜʀsᴇʟꜰ. Adran felt an endless shock of pain in his core, in his bones, in his mind. He started bleeding from everywhere as he sucked the skin, the bone, the life out of The Golden before him.

What he was consuming, was a part of him already. And he couldn’t bear it. It was too much for his body.

Jarring gurgling exploded from The Golden’s mouth. Deafening agony resonated in the air, as both he and Adran shrieked.

Vibrant red and sparkling gold blood bled onto the floor, pooling under them.

Yet, Adran had only one thing stuck in his mind. One thing he was holding onto; that last thread of sanity. Golden-red blood oozed from his face as tears, when he looked at the terrified Dane from the corner of his eyes.

“Save them,” he… forced his mouth to form the words.

Then, with the thought of his little brother, Adran howled in sync with The Golden one last time, before he tore every part of him out of the worlds and destroyed himself in the process.

Completely and permanently.

Spoiler Song

I need some more distraction today, so I'll just leave this here because I live for music and I'm curious.

Share a song (if you want to) that's any aspect spoilers anything from your wip. It can be the song's title, the vibe, the lyrics etc. No need for context, or which wip is about if you have more. You can add context if you want of course.

This one is mine:

I'll tag people but this is also an open thing, so if you see this, share your music because I'm craving for it! <3

@jess-p-edits, @bloodlessheirbyjacques, @aschlindartroom, @approximately20blorbos, @friendlyneighborhood-writer, @athenixrose, @kjscottwrites

No pressure as usual <3

OC Song Tag

Thank you for the open tag @jess-p-edits! I'll leave it open too beacuse I have no capacity to think today lol. <3

I usually did playlists only for stories, but then I found this tumblr post and tried to do some for my OC-s. Well, let me tell you guys, that is a golden post. Helped me so much to grasp their character.

Anyway, I'll share this one since I can't listen to anything else recently for some reason. I guess I should write something with her.

Tune Tuesday

I'm late a bit I know lmao but in my heart everyday is Tune Tuesday, so. I'll go with a separate post, because I'm probably gonna write a lot and it's better that way then.

I'll also give some new songs at the end just to keep this going hehe

Rules: Listen to these songs and describe your WIP/OC daydream as you listened to them. You can pick one song or do both and you can be as brief or descriptive as you like.

Thank you so much for the tag and this game @jacquesfindswritingandadvice! <3 <3

The Sound of Silence. This one gives me goosebumps every fucking time I listen to it and I love it. This song is also a tune for Adran, the big brother from IQRUS!

A lots of responsibility weighs his shoulders and some of them he took it upon himself voluntarily, but that doesn’t mean he can’t feel overwhelmed sometimes. But usually when he feels like that, he talks to (the IQRUS version is slightly different, but still) God and even though they never answers him personally, he feels better. However, when conflict comes upon conlict, God answers him the first time. Not gonna go too deep into it, because spoilers, but Adran’s head will be full of voices and whispers soon. I think you got an idea where this leads, but I’ll not spoil for now :D He slowly loses touch with his peers, his environment and his reality. From a point he just wants to find peace again. And in the end, when everything seems to fall apart, he will find it. For a moment, evertyhing will be clear again. He will find his peace and silence at last.

Man or a Monster. Definitely Darmon’s song!

When he faces the consequences of his action the first time is the one scene that came to my mind right away. He will look around in his environment with open eyes, seeing all the glossy eyes and empty faces he created through the years. He will walk faster among the “zombie-like” creatures. Every one of them awaits his order, not moving an inch by itself. Darmon feels sick. All the creatures, big, slender, draar, driadlin. They act the same when you rip their soul out. But it was for the right cause, right? He didn’t even know it won’t be reversible. Did he? No, he was very aware of that deep down and he still did it. At that point, he will reach the cages of the prisoners, and he needs to force himself to look at them. At the point ears, the too long arms and legs, the too slender or too bulky figures, at angry or frightened faces, at them whom curled into the corner of their cages, at… people. By the Three, they had souls to take and lives to fight for! He realises what he just did and then sees a kid too. He tries to change back whatever he did to her, but he just makes it worst and that’s when he losts it completely. He decides to free and warn the people (first time he calls them that) so they can save what’s left of the world from the monsters wearing the skin of men. Just like him. He also will learn some healing magic later on, so the "In your hands, there's a touch that can heal / But in those same hands, is the power to kill" line is just perfect for him.

All The King’s Man. This song is one of my all-time fav and I wrote a little novella for it in the past, but now with a different association, this one is also a Darmon song lol.

There's an event in Metalsea that will upset the world order and everything will change very drastically and fast. Some people even go kind fo nuts at some point and one of them will be Prince Urien who wanted to marry one of the MC's but couldn't because she ran away. So, when this event happens, Prince Urien kills his father to make himself a king and takes Syonehlia (the MC that ran away and Darmon's love interest) as a hostage to make her his Queen. Then Darmon finds himself in prison with every citizen of Evalon. He’s cluless about what’s the Prince’s twisted plan or motives, but he won’t sit in a cell while innocent people are imprisoned and Syon is in danger. He manages to free everyone from prison, however, the newly crowned King Urien has half an army of corrupted creatures with him that attackes them right away. Innocents die, while Syonehlia struggles to escape Urien’s grip. This overwhelms Darmon, he sees the product of his actions (because he created these corrupted creatures) and while he despises the idea, he uses his dark magic one last time and goes berserk. With feather light steps and seemingly choreographed gestures, he butchers the corrupts alone, barely keeping himself together. The shadows and whispers call him to join them, so when he’s on the doorstep of losing himself completely, he somehow wakes up from the dangerous haze.

And here are my songs for you guys <3

No pressure tag as always!

Hey friend :3 Happy STS!!

Pick a song(s) that represents each WIP and what would play over the trailer? (:

@bloodlessheirbyjacques ✨

Heyho, friend, happy STS!! ❤️❤️

Thank you for the ask @bloodlessheirbyjacques!

Uh oh, you just chose my absolute fav thing. I can't write without having the perfect music for my WIP's (or whole playlists tbh, no question why I have like a thousand playlist on spotify), in fact, usually my story ideas come from lines from lyrics or whole songs (or mishearing something because I'm very big on that one lol).

For Project Metalsea is Brave New World by Kalandra is the one that represents it and the trailer song is Hidden Machinations by Eternal Eclips.

For IQRUS is Here We Stand by Hidden Citizen and SVRCINA is the one that represents and for the trailer is Shimmering Cities by Pawel Blaszczak.

Ship Song Inspiration

Rules: tag the song you associate most with your ship

I was tagged by @aninkwellofnectar! Thank you and sorry, it comes a little late haha <3

I already did for the couples here, so I'll go with friendship and/or "siblingship" since I have at least two of that.

Avelyn and Syonehlia "sistership" in Metalsea. I love their dynamic.

Adran and Dane brothership in IQRUS. There's a part in a lyrics that literally describes one scene between them lol.

Drehan and Syonehlia's competitive, but strong friendship. Drehana literally teaches Syon fight so.

Cronyl and Darmon's friendship in Metalsea. The sad boy bunch.
