I need kh news aaaaaaAAAAAAAAAA

[linksthoughtbrambles]

Serenne

Part 16 of Adventure Log+ (sequel to Link's Thought Brambles - much better to read in order, both also on ao3). Warning for strong language and violence. Trigger warning for intense fire. Disclaimer: The content of this chapter is fiction only, and is not intended to contain advice or instructions for surviving hazardous conditions involving fire.

Master-

Yes, yes-

“Off, off, off, off-”

“I got it, I got it-“ Fi?

I look upon your plan with trepidation.

"Hehehe" What else is new?

"What's funny?!"

"Sorry, Beraya, it's the sword." The last thing I need is Beraya thinking I find her shoulders funny, and yeah, Fi, I know-

The moisture is a double-edged sword.

"Kh- shh, Tass."

Zelda already made us swear not to run into the flames. It'll give us some extra time in the heat, act like sweat, and some of it will be gone from the wind before we even get there.

Unless something surprises you, master. Fire is unpredictable, and the heat capacity of water can be deceptive.

Look, Zelda thinks it's better this way. I'm going with it.

If steam becomes trapped against your skin-

It'll scald. YEAH. I know. There!

“Bloody mail- I needed a refit anyway.”

“You got it, Beraya—soon as we’re back.” Faster, Link, faster for $*#@’s sake!

“Shh, sh sh sh- Tass!  Link- perhaps we- kh- oughtn’t ride any further.”

“It’s up to you-“ thereFINALLY- “arms through-“

“Kh.”

“-arms through.“

“Yes sir, I have the rest, I have it!”

“The horses should come back here when we dismount.” I hope.

“They may bolt with us still riding.”

Hope not hope not “They might.”

“NEXT BUCKET!”

“Huiru, Reida.”  They better- good they’re listening not that I’d expect them to ride into fire without at least something, something SOMETHING to help, dear Hylia, and at least they already have face cloths, just have to douse them-

“P- princess!  We- shouldn’t use these-“

-but it won’t last long-

“Sir Margil, I appreciate the sentiment-“

-not in all that heat.

“-but there are more important things than Link and I’s spare clothing.”

“It feels- like sacrilege.”

“Indeed not.  Hylia would much prefer her symbol to keep you safe than for you to perish in the smoke.  Think of it...“

To the well, Link, help Cohl, water water water “I got it-“

“...Think of it as a ward protecting you.”

“…Yes, Princess.”

“I got that, Margil.”

“Thanks, Aree.”

“I can’t believe I’m wearing something you sewed with your own hands, Princess.”

“I admit kh- when I fashioned Link’s tunics, I had no expectation of their being used as facemasks.  Ah- but please, don’t fret, Sir Liff khm-khm.”

Zelda’s susceptible.  She coughed a lot at Miss Morsels’ too.  Not that I think that stench was as nasty as smoke.  “Princess- I again recommend-“

“That I remain with Sirs Bennent and Lahs, and I again decline, Link.”

Amazing she can smile at me in all this, I don’t think I have it in me.  “I figured.”  Nope- smile failure.  “I had to ask.  Beraya, your turn!”

“Yes, sir.”

Sitting, good, she’s taller than me.

“Ah!”

“More, Cohl.”

“Coming, Sir Link!” “I’m done, I can help.”

“Thanks, Daile.”

“Get the horses, too.”

“D- damn.  Yeah.”

It feels like hours but it’s been minutes, only minutes, how many people are dying while we do this?

Lucky there’s no malice here, unlucky no surface water, only a deep well but the people ran and that’s good, good, stalls empty, no horses, no walking corpses, no corpses at all, no-

“Link?”

“All good.”  Stop brooding, Link, you’re not helping anyone, more water- “You’re next, Princess.”

“Khh.”

“I’m done!”

Varniro “Good, help with the horses.”

“Yes sir!”

Here I go dunking my last tunic in water it’s for her for her I don’t know why I feel this matters but I do.  “Okay, Z- hold this- get ready.”

"Not the socks."

"Heh. No, not the socks." I don't want to know what boiling water feels like in my boots, either.

Face crinkled, I always like that face on her.  “Look up- yeah.”  Hair wet, get every fricking inch of her clothing, careful, just barely wet the bandage outside only outside only.  Wet bandages bad news…

“You good, Cohl?”

“I got some slopped on me pulling it up so fast.  Top’s not there yet.”

“I got you.”

Liff and Cohl look out for each other.  Good.

“I believe that’s sufficient, Link.”

“I want you soaked.” …Oh s$&%, Link.

.

Keep pouring the water, keep pouring it, clearly no one gives a crap or possibly even noticed your ridiculous slip.

…Except Zelda.  A single-eyebrow raise.  She’ll tease me later.  I hope.  Later.  Hope for that.

“I’m good!”

“Me too, Sir.”

“Alright, almost there- get the horses as best you can.  Manes and tails especially, but we won’t take them all the way in.  They’ll run after that.  Lahs- Bennent- I’m serious.  You see something headed your way that’s not us, you retreat immediately and at full speed.  Make for the logging village if you can- get word to the castle faster.  If something cuts you off, head to the Royal Lab.  Got it?

“Got it, sir.”  “Yes, sir.”

Link.  Look them in the eye.  “If not…“

“We’ll bring his body back, sir.”

“…Yes.  Thanks.  Oereb’s family will thank you, too.”

Zelda’s face.  Wish I could hold her now.

Oh.  My turn.  Just nod, let Margil get you.

“Kh-kh.”

Feels good. Not clean exactly.  But maybe a little less disgusting than I was.

“Your bandage, Sir.”

“Yeah.” Hand over it should be good enough.  Pat some water… just on the outside.

“Alright…”

Less good now with the water in my pants.  That’s going to chafe.  Priorities priorities priorities.

Good to have my eyes closed.  Just for… a minute.

“Eh- hey, Reida, could you help me with this?”

“Ah- ah.  Yes, alright.”

…Snobbish.

“… Uh.  Thanks.”

That’s how they seem to me, but maybe I’m biased, they answer to other Sheikah, not to me, Zelda, too, ideally, but they seem not to take her orders seriously in combat like they think they know better and maybe they’re right but I don’t think so, I think they f$(#ed up with those riders, Zelda, Zelda was right, they should’ve broken off, let her fire.

Maybe I’ll talk to herOH more pants water- later.  About them.  See if she agrees. “Think I’m good.  Thanks, Margil.”

“You’re welcome, Sir.”

Pretty sure Zuho would’ve jumped to help us prep, not stood around being watchful with his nose up in the air, he’s not like them. She’s surrounded by us, this is not the time to stand still, this is the time for speed, speed, oh.  Facecloth.  “Thanks again.”

And the buckets have stopped.  “Ready?”

“Yes Sir!”  “Yes.”  “Ready.”  “Ready, Sir!”

Nods, nods.  “Princess?”

“…Mount.  We ride-“

Horse horse

“-as close as the horses will allow.”

Good boy- sorry.

“We go the rest of the way on foot- at a run.”

About your rider.

“We enter Serenne if at all possible.”

So, so sorry.

“We slay any monsters.”

I wonder... if you understand.

“If our kh- enemy is the fire itself, we shall help them fight it.”

It hasn’t hit me yet.

“If the blaze is too fierce, we shall evacuate all we can instead.”

But when it does-

“We remain together unless Link or I order otherwise-"

-it’ll be like always.

“-and we avoid extreme heat, smoke, and flame. Onward!”

I’ll have another hole inside.  “Everyone ride astride each other. Hup, boy!”

“Go, Tass!”  “Hyah!” “Hyup-“  “Hhh.”

A hole where the first person died under my command. 

Zelda.  Beside me.

I don’t want her back exposed even to our own soldiers.

And there’s a shudder.  Our own soldiers.  Vayden and Carok guy.

I want to know someone really Goddess-damned well before I let them have a clear shot at Zelda’s back.  Or mine, for that matter, but at least if it’s me I’ll react fast.  Not that she isn’t fast…

But I’ve never seen her do the Thing.  Better to assume she can’t.

-----

My Goddess.  The south's all but an inferno, what happened here?

“So much!”

I’ve never, never heard Beraya like that before-

“TASS!”

NONONO

“Easy!”

OFFLinkoff

“Easy, easy, good boy-“

gethisreins!

“Good, good Tass!”

“Hey hey hey hey shh- Tass-“ got him

“Kh- khh-“

got him “shh- shhhhh” soothe him Link “shh-“ just enough give her a few seconds “shh, shh, easy- easy-“ he is so done, rolling eyes- “dismount, everyone- now- yes- gooood boy, good, easy-“ she’s off let go lethimgo-

Good they’re all off “On FOOT!  We GO!”

She’s alright she’s so fast like me running beside me and Dear Goddess it's warm even here! In there the plate mail would’ve baked half of us alive and even the water won’t last us long-

“Khh.”

-amazing the horses got us so close to the treeline they’re not lit here not yet outer edge dark silhouettes monsters?  Trees bushes rocks maybe or crouching things could be could be do I see horns

“AAAAAAAH!”

“Link!”

“Yes!”  Screaming where where nothing nothing nothing nothing

“SPEED!”

“Yes, Princess!”  “Ahhh!”  “Gh.”  “Mkh.”  “Kh- kh kh- khh“

Coughing more, please, please don’t let her drop-

“AAAH!  AAAAHHHH!”  “KHHHHGH.”

“THAT WAY!”

Does she see them does she I SEE “THERE!” MoblinmoblinmoblinnoFASTERLINK NO YEHHHHHS ZELDA GO DOWN GO DOWN

“IT YET LIVES!”

It does but an arrow through its eye gave that kid seconds he needed and now Terial, Aree, great shots, it must be a red, it’s on its knees already and LIFF, yes, he’s fast too and- there goes its throat.

“You hurt?!”

Kid’s shocked he’s shocked answer Liff come on

“I- I- I h- ad to come back!”

Crying.

“We are here to kh- help- what happened?”

Zelda- he may not be able to

“Here- I got you.“

Kid’s filthy and shaking but seems sturdy enough now Liff pulled him up.

“They- they told us to run, but I had to come back!  Something’s wrong- at the next farm, too, everyone’s just waiting in the wheat-“

Everyone.

“-and there’s not enough water and we could see the fire got worse!”

The other kids.  “How did this start?”

“Monsters.  They just- came.  Out of nowhere-“

“KKRRGGHRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.”

…What was that?

“Oh, F$*%.”

“Daile?”

“Sir- Princess- that sounds like a lynel.”

“Your dad-“

“Yes, sir.”

“Princess?”

“We go. In.”

And fast, my Goddess-

“Kid, go back.  The others have horses?”

“Yeah.”

“Okay.  Don’t lose those.”

Liff’s sharper

“The horses want to bolt,”

than I gave him credit for.

“you’re better off on them than not, alright?”

Nod, Link, he has spooked-face

“Y- yeah.”

like he thinks he might’ve overstepped.

“Just- go and don’t come back here- ah-“

I really, really don't mind, people can't be constantly asking me about everything.

“-unless someone you trust fetches you.  And-“

Unless he tells the kid to do something stupid.

“-if you see anything off, just run.  Uh…”

And Liff’s looking at me.

“Khhh.”

Because which way?  Which way is safe?  “…Head south by southeast so you’d just barely scrape the farm at the foot of Salari hill in that direction.  Then…  make for the royal lab.”  They can defend themselves better than the logging village, so… safer… maybe.

“O- okay.”

Didn’t have to tell him twice.  He’s scared to s#$&… wait, shuffling chuchu LEAP Linkwhathe- “Rkh!”

“Ah!” “Move, kid!” “Move!” “Gkh!”

GONNA POP BACKBACKBACK LINK, BACK OFF

“Eh-“ “Ff-“  “Blasted-“  “Move, move!” “Fire-”

Fire chuchus here?!  “In- in, everyone, the town!  Go, kid!”

Watch him go watch him go, DAMN the wood’s dry pine needles like flammable fricking carpet, back up "Back up, back up!" watch the kid they’ll pull ahead but I’ll catch up almost almost almost trees he’s out all you can do Link you can’t escort him all the way back and if there’s anyone left alive in the town they’re in just as much danger and more

“There!”

Her eyes so good there it is a boko-

“QUEHEKYUEEE!”

Varniro Genenko careful bad shield arm

“GRK!”  “QYEEHEEEE!  K-“

GOOD.

Red.  DownMORE

“KGGGH.”  “KHG.”

They always sound so disgustingly happy

“Gh- ah!”

Happy to maim- Margil

“Ghg!”

Good skewered blue not dead-

“Akk!”

-now it is.

Happy to kill, too.

Not like Margil.

His face is not happy right now.  Bokos smile when they kill.

“They are kh- here awaiting those who flee.”

“…Yeah.”  I hope there are people left to run.

There’s more I see them waiting on the road at the edge of the houses some behind moblins those are moblins three red blue blue, at least two bokoblins, horns, little horns sticking up show them-

Yes.  Shh- there they are.  One two three- four five.  Eyes out.  Look.  All of you scan.  Zelda?

They- are- looking- inward.  We quiet, we surprise them.  Yes.  Good.

Spread out.

No- Zelda.  Stay with me.

Liff and Cohl again.  Good.  Huiru creeping crouched, Terial with Margil- Aree with Beraya, Daile with Genenko, Varniro with Reida, a pair, okay.  Huiru’s alone but he clearly has a method.

Six pairs.  Five monsters.  So far.

We’ve got THAT one.

Sh sh sh… she knows.  She knows.  Quiet.  The fire’s loud, but- doesn’t mean it couldn’t hear us at all, a snapping branch, a cough-

…please don’t cough.

Hot.  Even here.  Hot.  Smoke. Careful. Pay attention to your skin, Link-

I will endeavor to notify you of any sudden changes in your skin, master, but I have no method by which to measure your surroundings.

Thank you.

Her fists just balled.

She wants to cough.

Hurry, hurry, the flames, hiding the footsteps, careful but quick careful but quick-

Closercloser right in the back the spine wait for it, for the others.

Zelda- yes.  Turn.  Face out.  Watch my back.  I watch yours.

They’re- almost- nowTHROUGH

“RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRHH!”

“RRGHT!”  “QUEKEHHH!”  “QUORHHIEWHE!”  “KGHR?”

Almost all Daile Beraya Liff got theirs where’s Huiru

“KRRRRRRRRRRRRRRH!”

Varniro’s he didn’t surprise it but they’ve got it

“QHWEHHH!”

MORE “MORE!” Main road, there!  She’ll follow you Link, go take it out, it's hot but you're okay-

Fighting I hear it on the edges monsters at the next two roads too they have it trust them THIS one- “HhhaaHH!”

“QHEEHKHH!” “Kh-“

“Kh- khmkhm-“

StaybackZelda I’vegotit “Grk- hh!” the armpit slice it can’t raise its shield SLICE- THRUST

Down.

“Kh- hh.  The smoke.”

“I know.  I know, I’m so sorry- Zelda- it’s your dec-“

“We keep going.”

I thought so but heat smoke “ON RIGHT!”

Sheturned heardboots it’s breathinghard but didn’tgrowl feet loud anyway SLIDE underitsguardLinkSHINSyes

“GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRH!”

Yeahthathurtdidn’tit Zelda YESOH ROLLLINK

Damn she nailed that but it almost fell on me it’s prone proneTHRUST- THRUST

Dead? D-NO THRUST-twist-

“Kh-kh-kh.”

Stay still.

Dead- wh?

Margil and Terial

“Another moblin, down!”

Good Terial’s hand on his mask though he feels it the smoke

Goddess if we hadn’t soaked ourselves I’d’ve been soaked by sweat instead and dehydrating fast.  How long til it steams off?

Link? You see steaming with your eyes and you grab Zelda and make everyone back the hell off.

Realistically, she'd probably notice it before me.

There are the others.  Around the sides of the houses.  Here!  Yeah, here- let’s not split up.  Don’t see Huiru yet…  Cohl- Liff.  They’re looking, too.

…They don’t see him.

Yeah Cohl, I don’t know either.  Just shake your head, Link.  Zelda?

“All- kh- together.”

Alright, she’s pointing that way she’s right she’s right less fire we can’t stay in this long south is an inferno north we can at least last a while- Huiru, he should’ve come out over here somewhere anyway, hurry, hurry, but look look look look lots of movement flickering shadows things flapping in the wind from the fire no other people yet not yet- easing, easing  it’s not as bad over here, the fire worst in southwest maybe glow and smoke but it’s quieter this way too careful something could hear

“Kh… KH.”

Zelda, is your cloth still wet?

“Link?”

Quietly “Cloth- wet?”

Nodding, good, good- mine is so hers should be too just checking just checking can’t kill smoke with a sword can’t protect her.

Liff and Cohl fell in naturally checking around each house opposite directions it helps we can move faster.

Less and less and less, still hot but cooler here-

Those houses- not flaming-

Zelda?

That’s a yes, we check, Liff and Cohl check that house, Reida and Varniro, check that one everyone else watch watch watch eyes all directions- watch the fire too, embers, it won’t be long they’ll catch

“Khh.  Kh.”

It would be insane for someone to hide in a closet or something with fire in the town it shouldn’t be that, either they’re hiding somewhere they can see out or they’re unconscious or dead or the house is just empty

No one moving all up and down road, far as I can see Zelda shaking her head, too-

Bodies?  Bodies no bodies they all run?

And-

Head-shakes.  Nothing in that house.

Varniro…?

“Kh.”

No. Not that one either.

“Gg- khhh khhhh.”

And Terial’s coughing too and there’s still no Huiru here, two roads over.

Zelda?

I know that jaw- clench.  Like right before she gets in the pool at the Cathedral.

“We go.”

Alright.  Just point, Link, the less talking the better, that way everyone, west.

Where the fire’s louder maybe talking fine, here just not, lets us breathe through our noses anyway eyes peeled everyone going going going

Behind us?

Nothing.

Beraya- Liff- keep looking back.  Okay?

Okay.

flAMES

“Ah!” “FF-“ “S$&#-“ “Kh-“

WOAH that was some pop- Reida looks a little singed but okay, flames more, hotter, some of these houses completely ablaze lucky lucky the paths aren’t too narrow never seen Serenne before wouldn’t’ve known hotter inward we circle circle around where's-

“KKRRGGHRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.”

Lynel

.

Here we all are, hunted deer watching, listening.

It can’t be that close hardly any louder but maybe wrong, never seen a lynel never heard one either if that’s what it is, Daile’s the only one.

Still… listening.

Roaring.  Of fire.

I'm dryer already.

More dark houses.  Zelda?

That’s a yes and opinion established we check the survivable houses- pairs- Liff, Cohl- Varniro, Reida- Daile, Genenko- Margil, Beraya.

“Sir?”

“Quick, Margil, we’re good- go.”

Can’t say I blame him, I’ve been having them flank Zelda the whole-

“Khh.  Kh.”

-time, but speed!  Don’t think I should leave the archers out here alone.  We stay.  We watch.  Should I call out?  If someone’s hiding they might just come out and if monsters do at least we’re not walking into an ambush, they’d come to usOH no.  Oh, Link.  Could the lynel hear me if I yell?  The fire might drown me out if it’s among it but I just don’t know and we could sure hear it roar- “No shouting?”

“Agreed.”

“Lynel?”

“Yes.”

I concur, master.

You’ve been quiet.

I am endeavoring not to distract you, master.

I… can see why.

I will take this opportunity to notify you your blood oxygenation levels are still within an acceptable range at 99%.

Uh.  Good!  I bet that would mean more to Zelda, but I can guess…

100% is desirable and indicates excellent breathing.  Below 90% is dangerous.

What about Zelda?

              I can measure no one’s but yours, master.

Right- right.  Let me know if it changes, okay?

I plan to, master.

I bet hers are lower than that. 

It is likely everyone’s are lower than yours, master, considering your pristine physical condition.  I speculate your associate Terial is suffering most.  I recommend removing both him and the Princess from this environment as soon as possible.

Yeah.  Me too.

“Kh- kh.  Khh.”

.

A few more houses.

“KHRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRH.”

…I sure couldn’t tell where that came from.

Could be around the corner.

That’s comforting.

“Khhh kh.”

Smoke so thick southward.  Even looking down a clear path, hard to see.  It… wasn’t that much louder, though.

“Ahm.  Ahkhm.”

“Terial, you good?”

“Khhh- akm.  Yeah, it- doesn’t agree with me.”

Me either, but it’s getting to him already.

“Kh- kh.”

At least Zelda’s doesn’t seem to be getting worse quick like his.

I think they’re almost done.

A lynel shows up, you don’t let Zelda anywhere near it, Link.  You make her run.

Not that I could MAKE her do anything.

But.

“Ahm.  Ahehehm.”

Wow.  Am I just- falling into old habits or something?  She’s right here.  “Princess?”

“Yes?”

“Lynel, you leave.”

A long look.  Something odd there, something I don’t like.  Her eyebrow crease.  Can’t see her mouth or nose, but- worried?

“I- understand.”

Wow.  Well, good- and Margil and Beraya, also good.

Except also not good-

“Kh.”

-because they’re shaking their heads.  “Bodies?”

Oh.  No bodies either, so… still good. 

Beraya.  Squeeze her shoulder, Link.

The others – also coming.  Except- no, no, there’s Varniro, too.

Closer.  Closer.  Okay.  “If a lynel surprises us, the Princess is to retreat.  Margil and Beraya, you’ll escort her.”

Nods all around.

I’m really amazed she just agreed to it, but-

“Khm.  Kh- khm.”

-I’ll take it.

Let’s move.  “Cohl- yeah, watch on that edge, Reida on yours.”  Corners, corners.  “We’ll move a few streets up and start again on the houses.  Any of you find bodies?”

“No, sir.”  “No.”  “No.”

“Two.  On- the street that way.”

Don’t let your face fall with your heart, Link.  Did you think everyone would escape this hell alive?  “…We do this as fast as we can- try to find anyone who’s left.”

“And- kh-kh- discover… where those missing have gone.”

--

Chuchu-  Genenko’s got it, he’s got it aaaand one and two- there it goes already back up back up while it pops-

Chuchus do just spring from the ground.  Like the… Dead Hands.  Is that what happened here?  They just sprang up, lit things? OH- “Back!”

Backupbackupbackup thereyougo manhandlingZelda sorry

HOT- "fffff!"

“Akhhhhh- khhhh ghghm.”

Hot…

Damn.  Maybe.  Fricking chuchu jelly explodes.  Probably wouldn’t see it lying around.

Check behind- clear.

“Khh.”

They’re not too hard to kill but you have to know to run when they start puffing up.  A good pop or two with a pitchfork and a sprint the other way would do it but of course you’ve set the nearest house on fire.

“Kh- khh.”

Maybe that’s why so few bodies.

It’s inconsistent.

“Ahhghm- dammit.”

Some houses not lit.

Yet.

Could be why.  No chuchu pop-ups there.

But fire ones, here?  They’re supposed to live in hot places.  Eldin.  Never thought to ask father.  “Hey dad, do fire chuchus REALLY stick only to the slopes of Death Mountain?”

Has he even been to Death Mountain?

“Ah-hm.”

He must’ve- Oh?  Waving waving Cohl?

Stop, everyone.

“Khhh khh.”

Okay- Zelda, with me- we’ll look.

Wow.  Wow.  Yeah, good eye, back-slap for you come on- come on everyone here- the well.

Buckets.  Lots of them.  Wet.  Recently in use, and no bodies.  Right?  Am I crazy to be happy about this?  Zelda?

No, no I’m not crazy because she looks at least a little relieved.  Someone was fighting the fire and not that long ago.  Lots of someones.  That’s- yeah.  Cooler here.  Less flame.

Slightly less grim faces.

We go- further-careful check each way check, is that a bokoblin tooth?  Teeth?  A horn?  They did fight back and yes that’s another bucket rolling around- another one there… on fire, now…

Back toward the east- anything?

Eyes every way, everyone.

I think I do see a few more monster parts.  No people, though.

Alright everyone- yeah- spread on the street again we don’t quite fit I don’t like it Margil, Beraya?  Yes, thank you.  Princess’ back.  This section seems pretty quiet, pretty cleared out, but still…

“Kh- khm.  Kh.”

Steam.  They doused things.  Pump- there.  It really can’t’ve been that long ago, can it?  Not if we still see it like that.

“Wait.“

“Princess?”

“The pump.  We refresh our facecloths while checking the area- quickly!"

“On it!”

Woah “Wait, the handle- hold your hand near it first, Genenko.”  He was totally just going to grab it-

“It’s not hot, I’ll try it.”

Oh good.

“Bucket!”

“Thanks, Varniro.”

“Find your pairs.”

“Yes-“ “Yes, Princess-“

Finger to your lips, Link, they’re talking louder… they got the message.  Quiet checking of those houses and alleys- oh no. Beraya.

Her face, Link.

Her family’s house- would’ve been southeast.  Where the fire was worse.

Zelda?

Beraya.

…Yeah.

She already realized.

Can’t just ignore that, say something, just- quietly- “Beraya?”

Shaking her head.  “We couldn’t have.”

“They might’ve got out.”

A strange, small smile.

She thinks they’re probably dead.

And Terial just dunked his whole face in that bucket.  Good.  He seems to need it more than the rest of- ”SH”$&%! ZELDA CORRALHERCORRALHERSHIELDSHIELD WHERE

Aree!  Her arrow through its neck- Terial- Zelda wants to step out and shoot but no, no, that almost hit me and it could hit her, too- damn that thing was quiet.  They usually give themselves away with the squealing.

Dead.

“Where the hell did it-”

“The house.”

“KKRRGGHRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRHHHHRRRR.”

I saw her breath catch.

Yes.

Closer, it’s closer, I know.  Closer, eyes eyes out Daile?

Daile miming crouch crouch everyone down down LIFF, yes, YOU, DOWN! Zelda I want to just curl up in a ball around her but that won’t help anyone Daile’s looking at me eyes that way eyes that way he says-

There.  Far.

But visible.  Half turned away from us between houses and the hood on that further well, between smoke.

Okay.  My Goddess.  That has to be a lynel.  Because it’s not a horse.  But- it moves almost like one.  Bright red mane, way too wide and thick not a horse not one bit.

Move- goodDaileagrees everyonemove STAYDOWN butmove move move move behind the next house holy f#$& don’t turn around now, don’t- face that way face that way face that way Margil Beraya flank Zelda thank you yes- oh.  Okay.  Daile.  Staying crouched behind the well.  Looking at me.

Yeah.

He’s right.

We have to take it out.

The mystery of the missing people doesn’t matter much if they can’t come back.

Zelda?  I go.

“KKRRRRRGHRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRHRRRR.”

…It’s like the earth’s breath stops when it does that.

I want you completely out of its eyeline or even possible eyeline.

You, Margil, and Beraya… and Liff and Cohl.

Yup.

Shhh!

Glad I saw him about to talk, Holy Hylia this is not the moment to find out how good lynel hearing is.

S&$#.  Genenko’s bad arm.  He has to stay, too.

You can do this, Link.  You can mime.

Genenko- you- Zelda, Margil, Beraya, Liff, and Cohl, you all look for the missing people.

The missing people.

The PEOPLE.

Bucket-people!

Ahhh now you get it.

Okay.  Daile.  You and me.  On point.  But- yeah.  Agreed.  We flank it.

Yeah.  You that way.  Me this way.

Okay, Link.  Your father told you how to fight these.  Just- plan.  Archers stay at crazy far range if they can and you have to be ready to f$&$ing run.  No bunching up.  Everyone at different locations.

Terial, my side. Aree, Daile’s side.  Varniro, my side.  Reida, Daile’s side.  Like this.  Spread out- Daile, then Reida, then Aree.  And for my side, me, then Varniro, then Terial.

I’d tell the archers to take rooftops if there wasn’t fire involved.

There are… more flames by the lynel, too.

And… We can't go into that soaking wet. We'll have water boiling against our skin. Facecloths only, because we have no choice.

And Fi's not arguing with me.

Okay. Everyone- face cloths only.

And of course the pump makes sound.  Does the lynel know what a pump sounds like?  Does it know that means people?

.

Hopefully not.  I don’t hear anything rushing toward us.  Still… keep it down, Genenko.

Terial went already- Aree next.

Fi, anything I should know?

Your oxygenation level is unchanged, master.  But the area into which you propose to head is inundated with smoke.  Your facecloth cannot protect you from asphyxiation, nor from carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulf-

Wait, from what?

Forgive me, master.  Harmful gases.  Your facecloth cannot filter them.  It will protect you from burns and solid particles only.

We have to go.

Agreed.

O- oh.

Did you believe I would argue?

Yeah, kind of.

No, master.  The beast must be felled.  If one arrow would be sufficient to do so, I would suggest the Princess simply take aim and fire at first opportunity.  But the beast would charge, and I believe you wished to avoid that scenario.

Yeah, yeah I did.  She’s- she’s not ready for that.

No.  She is not.

I… kind of thought you’d argue with me there, too.

…

Ohhh there you go again with one of your weird silences.  Only this time I have no clue at all why.  At least I usually know what it is you’re trying not to tell me.

Ah- my turn.  Damn, I went turned-in-like.  That happens sometimes when I talk to you.

Thus my efforts not to distract you, master.

Thanks.  For the moment, though… just trying to creep low across the square and use the water.

I don’t see it anymore.  It could easily come closer, though, just down another road.  The facecloth wow needed that.  The water… isn’t cool like well water really should be.  It’s warm.  But compared to what’s up here, it’s refreshing.

Okay.

Nothing for it.

You all ready?

Everyone’s smart enough to look scared.  Probably more than they otherwise would be since they’re not used to fighting unarmored.

Reida almost looks angry.  Maybe that’s how she preps herself for a nasty fight.

Or maybe she’s pissed because I assumed she’s willing to take on a lynel.  I’m treating her like our own soldiers.  But Zelda’s not stopping me, so I think I’m okay to do so for the moment.

Okay.  We go.  Now.

Try not to worry about Zelda, Link.  Small smile.  Hey- I managed one this time.  Oh- there’s those balled fists again.  She’s- struggling.  Struggling not to cough.

Please- be okay.

See you soon.

Around the house.  Keep watch.  Wh- nasty thing- bokoblin heart.  Pretty sure I see a moblin horn way far off, too.  Wins for the missing people of Serenne.  What-

.

Wish- wish I hadn’t seen that.  Wonder who it was.

Who they were.

If- we run into monsters and we fight them, it’ll hear us.  Daile sure didn’t-

“Kh- m.”

-want us making any sound.  Though granted, he’s not the one who fought lynels.  It was his father.  But seeing a fight happen from far off is better than nothing.

Father did say they have amazing hearing.  And eyesight.  And sense of smell.  That there’s almost no hiding from them, not unless you’re real far away.

Must be why.  Why the people are gone.  They may all have fled into the trees.

And been slaughtered by the monsters waiting there for them.

Of course.  Of course.  Line the trees with moblins and bokoblins, where it’s darker and harder to see they’re there, especially the bokoblins that just look like boulders in the dark until you get close.  Then send in the lynel and those fire chuchus.  Let them light the town up.  Let the lynel kill everything in its path and claim the place as its territory, forcing people to run because between it and the fire there’s nothing they can do.  Then they get slaughtered in the ring of trees.  Boko riders pick off the few who escape to the fields-

The fields.  My Goddess.  They sent kids there.

And we didn’t kill all the riders, we didn’t, one blew right past us!

“Kh- m- m.”

My Goddess, my Goddess, there’s nothing I can do now nothing I have to find them later have to tell Zelda Goddess forgive me!

The sooner we take this lynel out the sooner we can help them.

The boy was alive.  He was alive and he came back to help, right?

He did, right?

…Did he say that’s why?

He didn’t but he went back willingly.  Yes.  Yes, he said they still had the horses.  They were… okay when he left.

Wh-

That’s a Moblin hand sticking out from behind that house.

Look.

Okay.  It’s too close to our path, we have to take it out.

Your bow, Link, don’t make Terial cross in front.  Here we go.  Here we go- there’s its head, turned awayOHit’sturning SHOOT- sunk!

Dammit, LOUD moblin-

.

Varniro bowling it over it’s yelling take it OUT it’s too loud-

“KKRRRRRGGHRRRRRRR.”

The lynel louder did it hear did it hear?  It’s not right on top of us not yet- what was that sound?  Moblin-?  Varniro has it the arrow screwed it up real good go go go ANOTHER, LEAPOVERTHISONELINK head it off, get it before it’s near Varniro- arrow thunked hit wood Terial missed WOAH!missedmemoblin STRIKE STRIKE STRIKE STRIKE STRIKE

Not dead not yet black moblins tough kill it shut it up YES good shot Terial SWIPE-

AH!  Ittriedtoheadbuttme?! Good its face is in the dirt- NECK.  It’s done.  Right?  Twist. Spine-OH!  REALLY?!  Hylia, get its-

Head.  Another good shot- crunching?

“Kh.”

Crunching wood smash???

Moblin dead- other one too- there’s no roaring but somehow that’s not comforting they don’t look comforted either what was the crunching?  Let’s go but this way, backward, around these houses, I have a feeling I just have a feeling it heard it knows and I could be wrong and if there are more monsters this way it’ll hear that too anyway and there ARE, blue boko right there, back up

.

F#$&!

“KKRRAGGHRRRRERRRRRR!”

The lynel different that was different

“You hear that?”

I swear it heard

“Is it starting?”

kill the boko kill it

“Shh…”

SLICE SLICE THRUST- THRUST!  It’sgoingdown it’sgoing but I hear it hoofbeats it knows it knows send them backward Link!

Varniro, Terial, retreat!  Behind me behind me go go go go go go go go go NO NO I stay, you go!

.

That was chuffing it’s close GO!  Yes, good good go, now I back up, back up, straight though, straight, I think it’ll see me but not them at least not at first and they can take up other positions and more wood smashing it’s close what is it doing ANOTHER smash-

“Khm.  Khm- kh.”

-that was close ANOTHER what is it doing THAT was a piece of wood flying over my head a beam, a piece of a beam, the houses, it’s smashing the houses, what’s left of them, does it think we might be inside or is it just angry?

.

My Goddess I feel like I can hear it thinking, its breath is so loud.

Zelda?  She’s probably not looking at the slate.  She shouldn’t be.  She needs to be watchful-

.

THERE I just saw it whatever it’s using around that bend right there back up so slow Link so soft so it can’t see you not yet not yet no advantage I’m in the wrong spot and Daile’s not here to flank it though he’ll catch on and move, he will-

Part 17 coming soon (I hope!).

Follow this link for my masterlist.

[littlelegoman]

Spoliers for dragon's rising

Spelling mistakes as well. Also I didn't write down Episode four's thing but I watched it.

Episode One:

A Netflix series; I see where we went wrong /hj

I love the way it rifts open like an eye.

What's that one song uh "thank you, I'll say goodbye soon.. though it's the end if the world; don't blame yourself now..."

Because that's the emotion I have

LLOYD MY BELOVED

He's so... he feels so different? Matured?

All the realms colliding is such an interesting thing to me.

LLOYD'S MASK

Now now Arin they may be Skeletons, Snails, and Frogs but they're still people like you and I there's no need for their species labeled first /j /lh

SORA IS SO /POS

PINK HAIR AND GAMED GIRL HEAD PHONES <3

She's so funny

Arin and Sora are so sister and brother vibe

I forget this is a kid's show and then the robots start fucking dancing

ALSO sora gives off Jay x Nya child vibes even though she looks nothing like them

Oo serpentine :D

"My fam" I'm- I'm cringing so hard

You're poor and yet you have a pent house?

Do they just give these things away???

It seems the merge hasn't been around for long; Arin is still the same height so

AZURE LION IS THAT YOU? /j /j

"Weakness, noun, quality of-" YOU LEAVE THAT LITTLE GUY ALONE

SNAKES THE SERPENTINE.

"Thst thing "

What happened to Lobbo's mom? I'm curious

The frog man Iis /pos

KREEL

I love that she calls them friends even though they're not

But by golly who dressed her up

GREEN? I.mean really, GREEN? And pURPLE?? GIRLY, get a hold of yourself.

Kreel is interesting. Is this a new kin I'm smelling? /hj

LOBBO MH BELOVED

That's so autism (/pos)

I want lobbo to win screw these guys, haha

Sora has ptsd.

yes YES LOBBO

Fuck lobbo's mom! Let's go! LETS GOOO

"Who are these kids?!" I wonder this all the time

The Dragon giving them powers is so interestin-- because ninjago realm wise it isn't possible but now the whole world turned upside down and nothing is the same

And I love it

IS THST AN ONI

Oh fuck that's the rip off Azure Lion /j

He looks like an Oni with the markings

Oh hey he has heterochromia

"I've known you for a while now" SCARED ME SO BAD I WANT THEM TO BE FRIENDS AND ONLY FRIENDS PLEASE

Please let me have this

LlOYD HEY WHATS UP BUDDY

Episode two:

He looks great for a man in green

I Haye the color green with a passion

NINJA FANDOM I love sora

this is unrelated but apparently we're winning (/ij)

It's not completely spinjitsu, there are different things about it

YEAH IT WAS A WEIRD VERSION but it was kinda similar

Lloyd knows nothing anymkre

THAT MAN WAS A TIGER? Oh God im--

Sora isn't from ninjago I don't think so her logic is different

"Not all of us.."

GOD ITS MASTER WU

Family is key

Haha

KH MT GOD DOES HE EVER TELL ANYONE ANYTHING

Yes.. chaos.

All 16 realms ahaha

Okay So Lloyd is alive; so is Kai,

Ah, cracks in reality.

Nothing makes sense and I

Wu is gone LETS GOO

I don't know if fhat means he's dead or missing but it's the same thing really

It's kinda strange. I miss how things were but the chaos is so inviting....

Riyu my beloved

DONT JUSF STAND THERE

Rapton my hated.

HOLY SHIT as if he wasn't a god before

It's only temporary though. At least it should be.

"There is a connection between us" please don't say it like that

The Dragon leader is wise indeed. I like her.

OOH woman

Oh I love her laugh

Episode 3:

I'm thinking of how Ras is merely a pawn in this woman's game.

ANYWAYS wu's picture is odd. Not like suspicious but it feels so strange.

Lloyd my beloved

haha he takes after wu

Lloyd having no facial hair is amazing "that's why I grew this beard" "What beard"

I'm getting flash backs hehe .

It's interesting because before Sora seemed more competent, but now Arin seems more competent.

THEY MASAACERED MY BOY RIYU

That's so nice to see the species who used to hate each other so much getting along and living together.

Mikloshe my beloved

LOBBO MY LOVE

He's such a little gjg

He's so autism

LABBO NO LABBO NO

You ET MY BOY GO

I did not expect Mikloshe to be feminine but I am making no complientes because the last girl snake was fuckkng pink

LLOYD BEJNG SELF AWARE

Labbo!

Oh who does my heart belong to; Labbo or Kreel?

Such a hard decision

Oh my God fuck off I just realized a good portion of my kins are autistic coded but they're robots

This is like finding the 16 realms became one ugh

Anyways

I like kreel, I think she's very interesting

LABBO

He's so /pos

Oh see I told you Kreel likes them (the henchmen)

Actually this is justifiable- well almost

Lloyd is like a concerned father right Now

OG THE MEMORIAL

Does Lloyd not have a picture? Interesting. But Kai is alive so thet means there's a chance everyone else is.

It's changed a lot yeah but it's been like a year; "my new best friend" and "we stuck together after she escaped" J IMAGINE THERE ISNT LIKE TEN YEARS BEYWEEN THAT

Arin's voice is still the same I think so he didn't change

Lloyd being told he looks like his uncle

(Call back to is Garmadon really Lloyd's father... /hj)

Dorama! Get it cause... drama.

Also, these all look like Kreel's minions which she says are her "friends-ish who work for her". None of them look like they'd be special.

Whack Rats seem to be at least as sentient as a human just non verbal...

Okay Dorama is growing on me he keeps getting trickier and trickier..

Kreel giving Labbo advice also he's closed of he's si autistic he IS SO ME

Lloyd owning up to his mistakes

NO YKU DID NOT JUST SAY "Dorama x Ras" I CANT BELIVE YKJ WOULD SAY THAT

THATS SO FUCKING FUNNY IM

Lloyd makes a good point about Sora and he'd powers.

THIS ISNT VERH /POS OF YOU KAI

It's not his fault I just want to know where he is.

"Should we be taking notes?"

"Let us never speak of this." DUDE HE'S SO MUCH BETTER THAN WU

I learned so much from my History Teacher because he was so chill (but not too chill) and fun. He was also gay but you get the point

Dorama hehe

Evil science woman! That's interesting. She doesn't seem really scared of Ras. Perhaps because she's not disposable.

She flinched when he growls but her tone isn't afraid and she seems to sass him

OH MY GOD WE'BE SEEN THOSE BEFORE

The craglings

I love Lloyd he's so much better than Wu

OOH water

nYA

oh God

LLOYD HEHE

HIS LITTLE POSE

Ninja nya our beloved hero (the title she deserves)

The cragling leader is so understanding AND THEN BECOMES RACIST

KAI'S GONE??

He's just missing right?

KAI KAI HEY

KAI'S GIRLY SCREAM AND NK ONE PAYS ATTENTJON TO JT

"ITS ALMOST AS IF I CSN HEAR KAI'S CRIES FOR HELP IN MY HEAD"

(I can still hear his voice; gay gay homosexual gay)

I like to think of Sora and Arin as Lloyd's kids/younger siblings

They're like a big happy family and I'm the dad and Logans the mom/ ref

"A dragon saved us?!"

LLOYD IS EVEN BETTER TNAN WU YEAHH

Also haha sora is so me sometimes

Episode 5?:

"THE KAI" I'm looking at MK right now /hj

CLOUD KINGDOMMMM

Oh my God what the hell is thst

It looks like the uh... season five thing

Also I like how the dragons look like the ninjas

AIR MAGIC AIR MAGIC

Getting flash backs to Morro

oHOLY SHIT

It makes sense because he's dead and the powers pass on. I like that.

Oh yes. I like that indeed.

Cloud Monk Woman my beloved.

EUPHRASIA I love you

YES GIRLLY

Slay quern

"I think... she is saving us."

"None of us were writing anything"

Destiny stopped existing the minute the merge happened.

"I knew the last one. I like you more." PLEASE MORRO HE WASNT BAD

Euphrasia... very nice.

The empress?... my my...

We keep losing people

Episode six:

Oh my God did Raptop or whatever his name is just die? He was crushed

How is be alive.

IMPERIUM

Sora is so good so /pos so smart.

Ana...?

Don't you dead name my girl

EMPEESS BEATRIX

OH MY GOD JTS A CULT

oh Dr. LaRow the woman who doesn't seem to fear the ras man.

Lloyd the ever caring father

Imperium... imperialism

Ohh. Sora.

Oh that's where she takes her name from.

Why does she have pink hair if those are her parents

Sorry sorry I just have nothing to say on this on.

The new prisoner is dangerous! And he isn't kai!

Oh okay so jt does seem its been a long time. Ten years? Five?

Episode 7:

This is a cult

PERCIVAL TARTIGRADE

Haha why does he look sound and act like my type /hj

Lucky for me I'll also what he is age wise

He's such a little guy

WyldFyre... hmm... she's not smart is she.

Here's the thing is that she isn't from their world so it's okay thst she has fire powers because this isn't her world.

Dorama how intelligent.

Everyone is so intelligent when they're not from the ninjago /lh

How old is everyone I can't tell

ITPF SOUNDS LIKE A PERSONALITY THLE

Percival is so autistic with his also autistic friends

I'm not mad at them, they've been indoctrinated.

WyldFyre

oh my God she's a dragon

Heatwave raised her haha

Rapton reminds me of someone...

YES SHE DOES REALLY HAVE KT

Hehe WyldFyre is just a little guy

Episode 8;

Lava dragons hehe.

OOH how she's raised. Can only the leader speak?

Interesting.

I wonder how she got her powers then

Yeah she's like like a young adult. Ughhh time works differently in realms but nwo they're all kne holy shit this tkmeline is so confusing

"An outlander?!"

Dude, he acts like he just did drugs in front of the police

Right right, she's impulsive but not stupid. I apologize for my previous statement. She seems survived this long, she'll be fine. She may not be book smart but she's not a fool.

"Oh good. A ghost."

IS THST MASTER WU?

I love kai

Well once the world's merged laws broke.

Percival, haha. I love him. It's more of a he's so me guys.

Thespian haha

they're so funny they're like funny (claws of imperium)

"Percival is like Red Son but powerless and in a cult" I- you're-

That's not even the point my dear.

Is it raining outside?

Oh. It is.

Episode 9:

Wu and Lloyd training??? Nice I like to see it.

I think this is a crime though...

MELVIN

Percival winning andbshdjdjd

He's so me j want hjm to be happy

If he dies I'm crying

"And yet a child brought this beast to me on his toy hoverboard" YEAH THATS RIGHT HES GREAT

I fucking knew it was wu this man never shuts up/ hj /lh

Dude how do they not see them

Bombs are bad for hearing.

DRAGON PSYCHOLOGIST

Zane ZANE MY BOY

Okay so the merge was years ago.

But how many because it's not clear

HAHA

Episode ten:

Don't you dead name my girl.

Now we're missing Jay and Cole... okay.

Got it

I don't know her name but I know it was said earlier.

Lloyd falling down the stairs is amazing.

Sora and Arin are smart.

What the hell is that ball. It's funny I don't swear this much I'll

Oh oh jts telepath

Lloyd becomes God from the power /hj

DUDE IS ON AN ACID TRIP.

HE REALLY BECAME GOD

Lloyd's has became God so many times before but it never stayed.

I want Percival back

[thefinalwitness]

had a big ol epiphany about post-6.1. i knew l'aiha's reunion with her family would be tumultuous as FUCK, given their last convo and l'aiha's memory loss, but... i like to think they can find a new way to be a family. this is the first, ludicrously hard step towards that future.

endwalker spoilers, ofc!!

---

"Mistress Kh?"

"Ah, yes...?"

"You have a visitor. A Sharlayan woman. Erm, she's calling you J'nhala Eiha."

"Oh. Let her in."

The Radiant bowed and disappeared with a soft click of the door. L'aiha sighed, anticipating her guest as she turned to tidy her hair in the mirror. The long, long brown locks always startled her; she was beginning to fear she'd never get used to them. Shouldn't it have felt familiar? Welcoming? Yet all she could think was how much of a stranger she looked like.

Soon, there came another knock at the door, followed by the Radiant letting in a small miqo'te woman. Brown-haired, like L'aiha was trying to be, with matching skin and eyes. It suited her far better, L'aiha thought.

"Nhala—"

"What are you doing here, J'lhana?" L'aiha asked, interrupting the woman's relief. "This is a long way from Sharlayan."

"I understand, but—" J'lhana sighed. "May I sit?"

L'aiha furrowed a brow, but moved to join J'lhana at the small table in the suite. Radz-at-Han had been exceptional hosts since she and Y'shtola chose to stay at the Meghaduta, and the accommodations were one of the only places L'aiha felt like she could relax.

At least, when J'lhana wasn't here.

It wasn't that L'aiha disliked her sister's company—quite the opposite. But she was unused to it, and though J'lhana looked at her with eyes of adoring familiarity, L'aiha felt like she barely knew the girl. No matter how much of their youth J'lhana told her about, it didn't feel like her past. Just a nice story she happened to be the protagonist of.

But if J'lhana was in Thavnair, this was about something bigger than a little sister eager to reconnect. L'aiha had a suspicion as to what already.

"I know you're anxious for me to see our parents," L'aiha said. "But I—I just don't think I'm ready, and—"

"They know you're alive, Nhala."

L'aiha froze, struck with unexpected dread, and then hurt. "You told them—?"

"No!" J'lhana said, mortified. "No, they—they heard about the restricted archive. Two Archons were approved entry by the Forum: Y'shtola Rhul, and..."

And J'nhala Eiha. Of course that was the name that'd be attached to the entry, for it was L'aiha's real name, and what she was going by lately. Stupid! How could she not think the name would raise alarums in the city?

L'aiha deflated, averting her eyes. "Of course," she murmured. "I'm sorry."

"Me too," J'lhana said. "I tried to cover for you, but once our parents heard your name, there was no stopping them. I... I told them you were just busy—that you're with the Students of Baldesion, and... Well. And that you're still getting your bearings in the city."

"Right," L'aiha sighed. "Remind me, the last time I spoke to them was...?"

"Twenty summers ago," J'lhana helped. "The day you left with the Circle of Knowing. You'd had a fight with Mama especially—I thought it'd be easiest to explain that you were uneasy about speaking."

"Do they know about the memory loss?"

J'lhana nodded, small and sad. "It was how I convinced them to step back a little. They're so eager to see you, Nhala, but—they understand. We all do. I just..."

L'aiha could guess what she was thinking. "It's cruel to ask that they wait much longer," she said. "Now that they know I'm alive."

J'lhana looked sorry and grateful at once. "Please come back to Sharlayan with me?"

"J'lhana, I have work to do here—"

"Just for a couple of days! Please? I know I'm asking a lot, but—they miss you, Nhala. Mama hasn't been the same since the Calamity. She's spent all these years thinking she'd never get to speak to you again. And Papa..."

L'aiha shut her eyes. The emotion with which J'lhana spoke was heartbreaking, and yet the grief was not L'aiha's own. Try as she might, these people were still unfamiliar to her. She just couldn't remember.

But she'd seen enough grieving fathers and mothers to know what J'nako and Eih'a must have been going through. Slowly, her golden eyes opened, and settled on J'lhana.

"We can leave in the morning," she said. "Is that okay?"

J'lhana looked as if she'd crumble with relief. "That's perfect, Nhala, thank you! Thank you so much—"

She hugged L'aiha, tight and loving; so much so L'aiha couldn't help but melt into it. This young woman loved her so, and she only hoped that one day she'd feel like the sister she was.

---

L'aiha got her affairs in order that night, informing Nidhana and Y'shtola that she'd be making for Sharlayan for a day or two. Each woman gave her a list of things to bring back for their research and experiments, and Y'shtola even offered to accompany her—but L'aiha knew the work would suffer without her, and she also knew this was something between her and her family.

With the help of the aetheryte, L'aiha and J'lhana made quick work of an otherwise lengthy journey to the northwest, where the island nation of Sharlayan rested halfway across the world from Thavnair. It was faintly snowing upon their arrival, making L'aiha all the gladder she packed a coat. Radz-at-Han was hot and humid at all times of year; Sharlayan not so.

L'aiha had seen the small estate of her family's once or twice already from the outside. J'lhana had been trying to make this reunion happen for months, after all, and L'aiha had braved as much as the street it was on before cowering out. Today would be different though, because this time her parents were expecting her.

J'lhana could hardly contain herself. Bouncing on her heels in equal parts excitement and nervousness, she looked as if she'd burst just waiting for the doorman to return.

Still, she must have sensed L'aiha's own anxiety. "It'll be okay," she promised. "I know you're worried about the bad terms, but I promise they're just happy you're home."

L'aiha nodded, but the reassurances did little to unwind the knots in her stomach. So many expectations, good or bad, would avalanche upon her the moment she stepped into that house. A mother and father, whose memories of J'nhala Eiha suffocated L'aiha even beyond the walls.

Her heart raced as the door opened, the servant returning. "The Lord and Lady await you both. If I may—welcome home, Lady J'nhala."

L'aiha mustered a tight smile and polite nod. The doorman stepped aside, permitting both women entry to the estate.

But, kindly, J'lhana waited. "It's okay," she said again. "I'm with you."

L'aiha allowed a tiny sigh, then nodded as the two of them headed in. J'lhana knew the way, of course, but went slow as L'aiha's eyes darted all around the foyer and halls.

Quite blue, the decor, an unsurprising choice in Sharlayan. Even her sister wore the color frequently, and L'aiha wondered if she used to too.

She stopped at a wall of paintings, many small, and one large in the center of the collection. There, in that middle frame, stood a man and a woman—two miqo'te, the woman a Seeker of the Sun with dark hair and skin, and the man a white-haired Keeper of the Moon whose ears, to L'aiha's shock, were dappled just like the ones beneath her hair dye.

Two girls stood in front of them, not fully grown. L'aiha saw the same stranger that'd been living in her reflection; J'nhala Eiha, smiling proudly, her hair dark and loose, her eyes as brown as the younger girl's beside her.

Yet it was the visage of J'nhala's parents—her parents—that struck L'aiha the deepest. Those spots on Eih'a's ears... For the very first time, L'aiha recognized a piece of herself in her long lost family.

"Papa'll be so excited you got his dapples," J'lhana gently teased beside her, pulling L'aiha out of her trance. "When you had brown hair, you couldn't see them. None of us knew you'd inherited it until I saw you blonde."

"I'm told it's a rare trait in Keepers," L'aiha murmured. "Of course I'd have gotten it from a Keeper father..."

She couldn't name the feeling in her chest. It hurt, badly, but she found herself unwilling to let go of it. This was all she'd ever asked for, from the day she awoke in the Lochs without so much as her name.

"Nako—!"

The two startled at a man's call. L'aiha's eyes shot up the hallway, and met with a woman's the same moment hers found the mage's. They froze, at two ends of the corridor.

L'aiha recognized her from the painting. J'nako Rhaq. Her mother.

Grief welled in J'nako's eyes at once. L'aiha thought she might crumble for a moment, but realized how strongly built the woman was, even in her old age. She tried to speak once, twice, but words failed her each time.

A man came around the corner next, equally familiar. White-haired, with spots on his ears fading to age. He gently took J'nako's hand into both his own.

"Nako," he hushed, "let her come to..."

He trailed off, when J'nako didn't react to his touch. He followed her eyes to L'aiha, and instantly teared up. Where J'nako had managed to keep her eyes dry, droplets fell from Eih'a's cheeks at once.

"Nhala," he breathed, shakily.

Suddenly J'nako was across the room. L'aiha barely had a moment to react as the woman threw her arms around her, crushingly strong in physique and emotion both.

L'aiha felt her heart drop to her stomach. She resisted the initial urge to retreat, despite how overwhelming it threatened to be. This was her mother, she told herself, she could muster the selfsame understanding she'd given J'lhana. She could do this. Just breathe.

J'nako leaned back, brushing the hair out of L'aiha's face. "Gods. Azeyma forfend, it's really you."

L'aiha tried to speak, but her throat just shut. Eih'a soon approached too, restraining himself only a little better than J'nako.

"Nhala," he hushed again. "Oh, sweetheart, look how you've grown."

She wanted to run. The attention, the feeling of not being seen as herself, but as an idea, an expectation—it threatened to choke her.

Again, she tried to say anything, but words failed each time.

"Forgive us," Eih'a said. "For—Thaliak, you might not even remember, but—we're so sorry, Nhala—"

"I told you," J'nako said, deadly quiet.

It was as if her words alone had coated the hall in a sheet of ice. L'aiha saw so many things in the woman's eyes—joy, grief, anger, sorrow—

A pain bloomed in L'aiha's brow. "No—" she gasped, gripping her temple.

She heard J'lhana next to her. "Nhala—?"

But it was too late. The scene disappeared to the Echo, as J'nako's and Eih'a's overwhelming memories became L'aiha's own.

"Listen to your mother!" pleaded Eih'a's voice. "Archon Leveilleur, he—he's lost his mind, Nhala!"

"He's the only one that's kept it!" L'aiha felt herself snap back, but the words weren't her own; she recognized J'nhala's presence in place of her own. "Eorzea NEEDS us, Papa! If we don't stand together—"

"Go then." It was J'nako's voice this time, as cold as the words that had triggered the Echo in the estate hallway. The woman brimmed with those same emotions, that grief and anger overflowing. She yelled, sudden and sharp, "Foist yourself into Leveilleur's and Rhul's folly! But know that if you do, you will be our daughter no longer!"

The words struck L'aiha like a knife. She felt herself longing to plead, to cry—no, no, she couldn't lose this family she'd only barely found—

But J'nhala didn't hesitate.

"I've rather be the motherless Archon that stood up for innocents than bend to Sharlayan's callousness!" she screamed, just a beat later. She didn't think about it. She didn't have to. "I will NOT forsake Eorzea! Not for the Forum—not for you!"

"Nhala!" Eih'a cried.

"Thaliak KEEP you!" J'nhala said. "If this is His will, then I want NOTHING to do with it!"

"You're insane!" J'nako snarled. "That wretched realm will KILL you!"

"Your SELFISHNESS will damn them all!"

The Echo fractured and blurred. The pain in L'aiha's head worsened, until she blinked and she was back in that hallway.

Back in J'nako's angry grip, in Eih'a's mournful gaze.

"Nhala?" J'lhana hushed.

It was too much. L'aiha tore free of J'nako's hands, veering away as she gunned straight back out of the estate.

"Nhala!" J'nako called. "Nhala!" Eih'a cried.

Nhala. Nhala. Nhala.

The name was as daggers to her skull. L'aiha bolted into the street, away from that house, from that whole district. Her parents' voices disappeared fast, but one gave chase.

"Nhala, wait!" J'lhana yelled, somewhere behind L'aiha; she didn't dare look back. "What happened? Nhala—"

"Stop it!" L'aiha screamed.

She felt the burn through her boots, as she screeched to a stop and whirled on J'lhana. The woman was closer than she'd thought, and only barely managed not to crash into her.

She looked so lost. "Nhala, I—"

"Do not call me that!" L'aiha snapped. So angry, so miserable; she hated the way J'lhana recoiled. "I'm not J'nhala! Do you understand?! I cannot be her! I will never be her!"

That stranger in the mirror, haunting her, a dead woman L'aiha wanted so, so badly to escape.

"My name is L'aiha!" she cried, not at her sister, but at that dead woman. "I'll NEVER be you again!"

But when that fury cleared, and all that was left was the two of them and the snow, L'aiha realized where she was again. J'lhana stared, petrified, and L'aiha was reminded of herself when that Echo of J'nako had shouted at her.

She hiccuped, wrought with grief. "I'm sorry, Lhana," she said. "I can't do this. I can't be her again."

"Okay," J'lhana said. Tearful, and scared—but even now, in this chaos, she just wanted to have a sister again. "Okay, L'aiha."

It broke her. She gasped, shallow and pained, as her knees gave out and she crumbled to the snow-dusted cobbles.

J'lhana was there a second later, supporting L'aiha's weight for all of a moment before the Seeker hugged her. Tightly, desperately.

Gods. She wanted a sister again too. "I'm so sorry, Lhana."

"Me too," J'lhana hushed. "I... You're not Nhala anymore. You're right. But—but you can still be part of our family. If you want."

"I broke their hearts, didn't I," L'aiha said.

"You did what you believed in," J'lhana said. She cradled L'aiha's head, as the Seeker wept and shook in her arms. "And that wasn't wrong. That's never wrong. I know Mama and Papa see that deep down, but—we'll make them admit it together. Okay?"

L'aiha almost didn't understand, until J'lhana's next words. "I promise, Aiha. C... Can I call you Aiha?"

"Please. I... I'd like that."

"Aiha, then. My sister. Or—my new friend."

"Sister," L'aiha murmured. She sat up, and wiped her eyes, and smiled so easily for the first time today. "Your sister."

To see J'lhana's own eyes fill with tears awoke something fierce in L'aiha. She pulled the Keeper into her arms, letting her cry with relief just as Lhana had a moment before.

This would be hard. But in that heartbreaking Echo, L'aiha felt the hearts of J'nako and Eih'a. She felt them like she felt her own, when Alphinaud and Alisaie disappeared in the storm of despair.

The knowledge that your children were right, and the grief that it might cost them their lives. L'aiha would've done anything to stop it. She tried. She pleaded like Eih'a, and screamed like J'nako.

They deserved to know J'nhala grew up. That she lived. That she was right.

"Let's get you back to Radz-at-Han," J'lhana said, sniffling as she sat up.

L'aiha's ears pinned flat. "What about our parents—?"

"I'll handle it." J'lhana smiled up at her. "I'm sorry I pushed you so much. It wasn't fair of me—of any of us."

L'aiha faltered, grateful though she was. "I want to try again," she said. "Someday soon. I... I want this to work."

It brought fresh tears to J'lhana's eyes, who stubbornly scrubbed them away. "When you're ready this time," she said. "When you're ready to introduce L'aiha."

Whether or not L'aiha could be their daughter, she didn't know. But she felt J'nhala's heart too, in that vision.

L'aiha couldn't be her. But she could try to do right by her.

Stuff for August

Hey everyone, 

I guess I’ll start with the most important thing: I won’t be able to take part in kh oc week this year after all. A mix of burnout from my new (but very awesome) irl job, D23 Expo prep and creative drought is what ultimately affected this decision. I have a few things ready but I really can’t work up the energy to finish everything else and I hate turning in half assed work. Another big part is simply I’ve been going into a new direction creatively and with the exception of Yuulan, haven’t really felt inspired to work on them. 

So what I will probably do is later this month, I’m going to devote an entire Assorted Lore post to Yuulan’s Scalan backstory where I’ll talk about her family, her keyblades, and her connection to the Age of Fairy Tales. So look forward to that.

Since I’ve decided not to further burn myself out with trying to do kh oc week, I’m going to put most of my energy now into finishing up Shining Hearts which really isnt work for me at all. I’ve received so much inspiration from the last few chapters of twst and since Book 6 isn’t coming this month, I’d really like to get the first chapters of Shining Hearts out soon. So expect the preview cards to start appearing later this week and chapter maybe next week. 

I’m also finally opening my twst ocs to full interactions with other ocs! I’ll make a separate post about that later. And finally, in late August I’ll go on a brief hiatus to prepare for D23 and will queue a bunch of chats and a few new vignettes. 

I guess that’s all for now. Honestly I’m not in the best mood at the moment, even though my decision to forego kh oc week is probably for the best, I can’t help but feel a little like a failure. Eh...somebody please send me some asks/interactions to distract me.

Millionminer Com Buy Asic Miners From Leading Manufacturers In The Us

The X4 has a maximum hash rate of 22 KH/s and an influence consumption of 550W. It additionally features 4 hash boards, each containing 72 hashing chips.

Hii! How are you?

I'm wondering if I can have a love reading. I have never had a boyfriend and I'm already 21. I feel like I'm falling behind everyone and like something is wrong with me. I rarely get crushes and I got my first one this summer in years! But he literally lives in another country and I'm not sure if he likes me back. Will I meet someone soon/what is happening in my love life in the next few months?

Thank you! I hope you are having a nice month.

[emotionallyunavailablepiscean]

Hey! I saw your post in relation to free readings so I said I'd reach out to you. My initials are KH and my sun sign is Libra. My question is: Will M return to my life soon? Thank you.

hii so I don't do yes or no qns but since I'm leaving and shit whatever here goes I'll try to interpret the cards

Black Obsidian (The Shadow), Fire Agate (Creativity), Nuumite (Healer), Boji Stones™ (Balance) and Cacoxenite (New Beginnings)

what I think is you two or either of you two need to work on their shadow side or the shadow side of the relationship. you need to heal for the connection to move to where you want it to be. use your creativity to resolve possible problems you could face in the relationship as well. you will need to have a sense of balance for there to be a new beginning essentially.

please leave feedback.

Hey!!! Do you mind writing a smutt with dom Eve where she wants to do something new with her girlfriend in bed? Something rough if you are okay with it

Eve being rough with you in bed would include (NSFW)

I don't know how rough you meant but I hope you like it 💖

Also, I really have trouble to picture Eve as the Dom, so I am sorry if this feels OOC ;-;

(We all know what's under the cut )

Everyone thinks you're the dom in the relationship but you know better and try to stay on Eve's good side.

Too bad you weren't paying much attention that day.

Eve usually enjoys to see your pretty dresses, because they look so good in you.

But today, she wasn't the only one looking at you.

As you two were hosting a party, Eve noticed how everyone looked at you when you entered the room. It wasn't that bad, you really looked beautiful and she couldn't blame them.

But there was a pair of eyes that kept undressing you all night.

Brendan's.

Eve had contradictory feelings about it. But in the end, anger won.

Brendan knew perfectly fine that you were her girlfriend. But it didn't stop him from flirting with you.

You were totally oblivious to it. You just thought it was a good opportunity to bond better with the son of the woman you loved (even if he was almost your age).

So you talked and danced with him almost all night.

You thought it would make Eve happy to see you two getting along so well. But she knew her son and she knew what he really wanted.

The moment the last guess (incuding Brendan) left, you were trapped between your girlfriend and the nearest wall.

"What do you think you're doing?" She growled. You could see the fire in her eyes.

"I-I'm cleaning"

"You were whoring yourself to Brendan. You practically threw yourself to his arms"

She pulled away and roamed her eyes all over your body. You looked delicious.

"Look at you" she said "You were thinking of him when you picked that dress, weren't you?"

"I-no! Of course not Eve-"

"How did you call me?"

You gulped when you noticed your mistake. You two were alone and it meant there was just one thing you get to call her.

"Mommy! I meant mommy"

Eve frowned and was already making plans for you.

She grabbed your chin gently, which made you even more nervous.

"First you flirt with my son, then you disrespect me" she said "You need a punishment, baby"

"But mommy-"

"Go wait on the bedroom. And you better be ready when I get there"

You just nodded and ran as fast as you could. You knew you were in troubles. And it just turned you on.

Eve waited for a moment, giving you time to undress and get ready for her.

She knew you were preparing yourself for her usual punishment of spanking (which she would do), but she had other ideas.

She wanted to try something she saw the other day. And this was the perfect opportunity.

Eve smiled when she entered the room and saw you sitting on the bed. Nude.

"Look at you" she said again "such a good girl. Too bad you weren't one a few hours ago"

You frowned at the bowl she had with her. Eve laughed.

"Oh don't worry love, it's a little surprise"

She didn't give you time to think about it. She let the bowl aside and sat down to bend you over her lap.

"30 spanks" she said "out loud"

You gasped when the first one came. You were hoping she would be quick but she wait a few seconds between each spank, which just made it worse.

"I'm doing this for you" she whispered "mommy wants you to be a good girl. I'm doing you a favor"

"I-I know mommy" you gasped "t-thank you"

"You're welcome baby"

You counted the spanks out loud, knowing she'd give you more if you didn't.

She gave you a few moments to recover before she told you to lay down.

You were already excited but the pain in your butt made you practically moan.

Eve chuckled "I haven't even started baby".

A few moments later, you were tied to the bed and blindfolded.

You could hear her moving around the room.

You jumped when you felt something wet and cold on your belly. You gasped when you realized what she had in the bowl. Ice.

It felt like it was already melting from the time it was there while she spanked you, but you were sure she still had enough of it.

Eve kept using the ice cubes to make you shiver. You moaned when she pressed one too close to your nipple.

"Color?" she asked.

"Green"

She smiled and continued. You were already a mess and arched your back when she pressed the ice cube against your nipple. She then took it in her warm mouth.

"Mommy, please"

"Please what baby?"

"Please touch me"

She just giggled and eat the ice cube. You gasped when she put her head between your legs but she didn't touch you. You moaned when you felt her cold breath on your core.

Eve was fascinated by your responses and decided this was something she'll use again soon.

She teased you for a while until you begged again.

You were so grateful when you heard her moving around the room again and a moment later you felt something rubbing your clit.

"Can you guess which one is it?" She asked

"P-Pink?" "Nice try baby, but you know you don't deserve that one".

She didn't give you a warning before she buried the toy inside you.

You screamed and she chuckled. The red one then. God it would hurt.

Eve gave you a few seconds to recover before she pulled the toy out and buried it in you again.

She was ruthless.

The toy was a little too big for you, stretching you to the max and hitting all the right spots.

Eve wanted you to come as soon as possible, so she kept her strong thrusts and her accelerated pace.

"This is what you wanted right?" She growled "for me to remind you whose little slut you are"

She pressed your nippled betwen her thumbs and index fingers.

You came screaming.

But she didn't stop.

"Mommy" you groaned "please"

"Please what?"

"Please stop. I finished"

"Oh but I didn't say so, did I?" She chuckled "we're not done until I say so"

You gasped.

"This is going to be a long night baby"

Eve kept making you come for hours. By the time she stopped you were so sore and crying.

But you assured her you were fine.

You couldn't wait to misbehave again.

strong like a diamond, you can’t break me

Friday 16 April 2021; Morning. You wake like any other morning. Your routine is as normal until you notice new tattoos along your arm. 

peaceful. everything is so..peaceful. luke is sitting in his open living room, one or two meters away from his kitchen table, which already has some fruit on it, ready to be sliced into a fruit salad. since the field trip with cassius his mana channels are rough, burned out, barely noticeable and luke is clever enough to not use them more (as if he could, anyways). instead, he’s meditating, for hours and hours. since airang, he has barely left the house, only for a few trips to check up on cassius. his back hasn’t healed fully yet, but it’s getting there. the fire elementalist uses the same method to meditate he’s used for asra, the one his grandfather taught him. his grandfather, he should probably visit him some time soon, he hasn’t seen him in a long-

there’s a small spark, one that emits one of his left finger tips and he looks down immediately, both confused and relieved, just to-

Instead of the Q you drifted asleep inked on your arm, a J is now present. Further down you see the Initials KH and three arrows pointing down. This represents the current state of your favor with Ace Kang Harold, Head of the Academy.

“oh, for fuck’s sake.”

luke looks up, then down again, as if that would remove the disgrace that seemingly appeared over night. the q has become a j, jack of diamonds, definitely not something he likes to see. it’s been years since he’s been at this point, years since he..

there’s not one, not two, but three arrows pointing down, down in the direction of his wrist, in the direction of-

Before you exit your home, a letter is delivered from Ace Harold. 

there’s a letter laying right in front of his door, has been slipped through the slit right in time, right before he was about to stand up and get ready for work.

It states: Luke, Your diminished capabilities and standing in society make you unfit to hold such an esteemed position within the illustrious institution that is our Academy. To have its honor marred with one filled with such scandal hurts not only our pride but distracts the pupils we are tasked with nurturing. And what use is a instructor who is now a cautionary tale. Of course, I have always been proud of your work with our students but parents are concerned. I am placing you on a brief suspension, with partial pay. For the time being, you are barred from entering the halls of our Academy.  Please use this time to consider the ethics we aim to instil in our pupils and detour the path you’ve taken to becoming a cautionary tale. Sir Harold

“your diminished capabilities? your standing in society? he has got to be kidding me. my standing in society is perfectly fine..!” he’s neither mad nor sad, he’s simply confused. he hasn’t been doing good, obviously, but this is not something he’s expected. luke is a proud queen, was a proud queen, he immediately corrects himself. it’s the stupid scandal, he tells himself, that stupid fucking rumor just because i wanted to help asra. does he regret it? hell fucking no. he hasn’t fully processed the seriousness of the situation yet, hasn’t realized what this means, hasn’t thought of the further consequences this might have.

and then, it happens.

first, there’s ambers in his veins, seething and burning ash right in his core. the temperature rises and rises, gets higher and hire until it’s fire, blazing and destructive fire and it travels higher and higher until it is pulsing underneath his skin. when he finally realizes that he’s not able to let the fire escape, that it’s ebbing out in the burned out mana channels he lets his anger out by punching his kitchen table, hard.

it slowly cracks, until it breaks into two halves, with all the fruit tumbling down and hitting the kitchen floor. he’s barred from entering the academy halls and there’s nothing he can do about it. nothing. and for what reason? for a simple rumor of him sleeping with one of his students - a rumor that was probably spread by glory ass himself, zuihuo juoi. zuihuo fucking joui, his radiance that luke would gladly like to radiate into some glacier in the alps so he can melt them down with his golden fucking fairy whatever. his anger should be directed at harold. and the second he thinks about him-

luke’s grandfather is a man that appears much less older (around 59 he says, around 65 or even older luke says) than his actual age. he’s going to be 151 in october, on october 25 to be exact. fifty years to go, he usually jokes around. like luke has lost his mother, he has lost his daughter only a few weeks ago. he seems to be doing fine, but luke knows for a fact that he just pretends and even he suffers from loosing so many people. “how were you able to forget your wife?” luke once asked him on a cozy evening, to which he simply replied to, “oh, the one that stole your heart better be pretty.” leaving luke exactly with what he expected. nothing. but now, his grandfather carefully reads through the letter luke just handed him. the younger elementalist is nervously prancing through the house (rather, the kitchen), hands crossed behind his back so he doesn’t have to see the new tattoos. 

after about fifteen minutes of silence, his grandfather holds a piece of paper in his direction. luke takes it.

“ dear motherfucker kang harold.

i hereby want to inform you that my foot will be going up your ass in meantime grandson parker luke is by all means a very responsible and way more tolerable persona than you are. he would never dare to lay hands on a student unlike you you stupid cunt. especially not ryu asra because that fire elementalist hobo cannot even take care of himself  who recently suffered from private issues. given the circumstances with his parents, the suspension is reasonable and more than just good for his health. however, banning him from entering academy territories is unreasonable, especially while his mana channels still aren’t functioning. you’re lucky they are not, or some houses in diamond territory would have been wiped out today. you would have deserved it, stupid stone face stonehenge monkey of an elementalist. i kindly ask you to rethink your decision and you better do because if not, i’m going to-”

the letter takes an abrupt end. luke slowly looks up, a rather concerned luke splattered across his face. “you’re not sending a letter.” going to his grandfather’s house is the first thing he thought of. there’s probably no one else that knows him better, has been with him through all the things he’s been through. he knows how to get him to calm down, knows what gets his fire going in the right direction. “and you’re not asking him for a duel just because of this. i think it’s only a warning for now, a warning to behave like they want me to.” the thought of punching something becomes more and more prominent with every word he says.

“i could-”

“no, grandpa.”

luke still doesn’t know how to feel about the whole situation. it’s a massive change (even if it doesn’t seem like it) and he still hasn’t gotten his fire back. it might take months, weeks, but he hopes for the best. he simply knows one thing, he doesn’t like the change. not at all.

so, he decides to write a letter back.

“ sir harold,

i send this letter regarding yours i received this morning. as an explanation, your wording is what makes me reply in form of this letter. 

i wonder how a simple rumor has led to having you think of me as a cautionary tale. i have been working at the academy for years and my grandfather is also no stranger to you. i only heard about the rumor from his radiance, zuihuo joui, at the yeon nen ball for highrankers.

the reason i was met up with asra once offside campus hours is the following: the student was suffering from a heavy depressive episode and completely disregarded classes. i wanted to make sure that neither he or someone else is in danger, given i already had experience with emotional outbursts including fire in my earlier years. after making sure he was fine, i gave him a quick catch up for lessons. i never contacted him with a purpose other than that. 

although there is nothing to worry about, i completely understand your reasons and will wait for further instructions in the future. i will stay absent from the academy as long as you want me to.

thank you for letting me clarify, i hope to see you again soon.

best regards, 

luke parker”

as soon as he gets his fire back, luke knows what’s going to happen.

fenris is going to happen.

Omori KH AU! CONTINUED

So uh it has been... a while, but I have more thoughts in relation to Sunny getting his Keyblade and how he met the rest of the group so heres a bit of a prequel bit!

In Faraway town, kids are given a test on their 12th birthday, to see if the Keyblade has chosen them.

(remember, this is prior to the events of BBS in KH Canon so there are potential keyblade wielders in each world but the number is falling because of growing darkness in hearts)

This has gotten long.. .so under the cut it goes!

MASTERPOST

The nature of the test is secretive, most people unaware of the keyblade existence, kept secret to prevent it from causing more people to fall to darkness.

The test is one where you're supposed to face your darkest fears, if you call upon the keyblade to fight it, you pass, if you cannot, you, fail.

Sunny faces the test on his 12th bday, its a room with a singular mirror. All he was told is he has to defend himself. There is no weapons or tools in this room he could use...he knows *some* magic, noticing a pool of water surrounding the mirror and hoping thats enough for him to call upon blizzard or water magic strong enough to fight.

He faces the mirror, and sees Omori facing back, but he doesn't recognize it as Omori at the time, just himself. He steps out the mirror, Darkness enveloping him, forming into a spider like monster.

Sunny is... terrified.

His vision starts to darken, he steps back. Spidersomething steps forward, Sunny steps back again, swaying, sweating, unable to scream. He starts tearing up.

Spidersomething strikes. Sunny brings his arms up, a glow of light enveloping him for a second before he blacks out, falling into the water.

He could have sworn he heard a familiar voice yelling his name as he hits the water.

Mari was one of the people watching the test. She had permission to, already entrusted with the Keyblade and thus allowed to be present as her baby brother tested for his. That is to say, Sunny had no clue Mari was watching.

When she saw Sunny summon the keyblade to defend himself before falling into the water, she didnt hesitate to jump from her spot looking down on to the room to save him.

Sunny awoke to yelling. He recognized the voice, it was...Mari. She seemed to be outside the room he was asleep in...wait.. asleep? He was in a bed, it wasnt his...he didnt recognize the place. But Mari is here... so its okay, right?

But she was upset, yelling, Sunny has never heard her raise her voice like that.

"You said he was going to be safe!"

"And he was! We weren't going to let him get hurt"

"But he almost drowNED!"

"I can assure you someone would've saved him if you hadn't gotten there first!"

There's a scuffle and a yelp... it sounded like the person Mari was upset at.

"Please Mari, I'm sure your brother will wake up soon!"

"Its been 2 day! If he's not injured then why isn't he waking up???!"

"I- I'm not sure but it has to be because of the shock of the situation!"

"You better be right."

There is another sound, a thump. The other guy must have fallen.

The door to the room opened and Sunny saw Mari's face go from anger, to shock, to tears as she rushed to him, hugging him.

Sunny...started crying too. He recalled the test, how he cowardly passed out... he failed Mari... and now he made her worry.

He mumbled apologies into her shoulder, and Mari pulled back, asking why.

He mentions he failed her, the test too and now he won't go to the same school as Mari.

Mari made a "O" at that, before breaking into a smile, her thumb wiping Sunny's tears.

"Silly Sunshine, you passed the test."

Sunny...passed? Was she just saying it? But Mari didn't give him room to say that, moving to the side of the bed.

"Hold out your hand Sunny" She instructed.

And so he did. What he didn't expect was... a beam of light, a key, appearing in his hand.

She explained to him the true purpose of the test, how the Keyblade chose to protect him.

Soon, Sunny would be going to the same school as Mari. It's what he's always dreamed of.

He starts school the next day, and is introduced to a handful of new people, or rather, Mari is the one to introduce him to them.

"This is Henry, but we call him Hero! He's my age so we're training together!"

"Nice to finally meet the Sunny, Mari kept talking about!"

Hero, to Sunny, was kind, his voice gentle like Mari's. Not loud at all. He didn't like it when Hero ruffled his hair though.

Next up was Kel.

Mari didn't get to finish introducing him before Kel butted in, excited and eager.

"I'm 12 too! But older than you, obviously! Can I see your keyblade?"

Sunny was a little overwhelmed but he summoned his keyblade for Kel.

"Oh its so small! Just like you! Look at mine!"

Kel Summons his keyblade. "Heh, its the best one!"

"No its not!" A third voice intrudes. "Don't listen to him, he's just like that all the time! I'm Aubrey! I'm also 12!" The girl introduces herself.

"What do you mean its not the best, it clearly is!"

"Nuh uh, thats mine! See its PINK!" She summons hers. It was indeed, pink.

"Pink is gross!" Kel made a face at Aubrey.

"He-hey thats enough both of you! We don't want Sunny to get a bad impression of either of you, do we now!" Mari breaks them up.

"Sorry Mari, but Kel started it!"

"No I didn-"

Hero thankfully comes by to separate Kel from the group before he and Aubrey start fighting. Mari explains that Hero is Kel's older brother.

Sunny goes to Hero, looking at him expectantly. Hero looks confused for a moment before holding out his hand and summoning his Keyblade. It was...pretty cool. Wow...

Sunny thinks this is all of them but then he spots a person in the distance, watching from afar. Mari follows his gaze and her eyes go wide.

"Oh Basil! Are you feeling better?" She rushes towards the person, Sunny following behind.

"A...little.." the boy gives Mari a small smile.

"Sunny this is Basil! He's been feeling ill for a bit but hes your age too! Basil, this is my little brother, Sunny." She introduces them.

"Hi Sunny!" Basil smiles, he looks pretty fragile, Sunny notes, and like he hasn't been sleeping well.

Sunny waves with his free hand, bringing attention to his keyblade in his other.

"Yours look a lot like Mari's!" Basil points out.

"It does, doesn't it?" She smiles holding out her hand so Sunny could see hers.

It really was similar...

Sunny looks at Basil expectantly but Basil only averts his eyes.

"Maybe...some other time, I think I should head back to bed."

Theres something curious about the way Basil was acting, but Sunny doesn't know him quite enough to be sure.

In any case, Sunny starts classes.

There are major introductory ones, where rules of keyblade are taught. About keeping the secrecy of it, how they aren't allowed to let anyone hold it or present it outside of the school unless of an emergency.

There are basic magic courses too, as well as training grounds for physical attacks.

The others are quite a bit ahead of sunny, with him being the last to join.

Mari and Hero are training for their eventual Mark of Mastery and... Basil still hasn't been coming to any of the classes.

Sunny almost forgot Basil was even a student until he found him sneaking off after training.

Sunny follows Basil into a part of the building he's never been to before. Basil doesn't notice Sunny until after he's stopped in front of a door, Sunny standing besides him.

"Ah! I wasn't DOING ANYTHING MA- wait... you're Mari's little brother, Sunny...right? Wa- wait what are you doing here?"

Sunny just looks at Basil.

"Oh- you followed me.. didnt you? You can head back, I was just...doing something."

"..." Sunny knows Basil is hiding something and doesn't quite budge.

"Ah... alright, I'll tell you... the truth is.. there was an accident during training a while back and now.. I can't summon my keyblade." He opens the door, "I found the mirror they use for the test and I thought.. if I could summon my keyblade like the first time, everything will be better."

Sunny nods and follows Basil inside. Basil doesn't expect Sunny to stick around, why would he? But he does, giving Basil two thumbs up as he returns it with a weak smile.

Basil faces the mirror, a shadow stranger looks back at him. Something envelopes the shadowed figured and escapes the mirror, tendrils coming out from all ends.

Basil is... terrified, holding his hand out waiting for the keyblade to appear. It doesn't and the creature attacks Basil. Sunny....rushes over, using the basic Blizzard spell at the creature to freeze it in place before pull Basil to the side.

"It ... was hopeless after all, huh Sunny?" Basil has tears in his eyes.

Sunny summons his Keyblade and holds it out to Basil. "Sunny?" Sunny nudges it towards him, hand out towards Basil.

"You want me to take this? But the rules-"

Sunny simply points to the shadow demon. "Not strong enough..."

"Oh right, I guess you...don't know how to fight..,alright, I'll fend him off, get somewhere safe"

Sunny's keyblade in hand, Basil fights black smoke and tentacles coming from the shadow figure.

Basil's fighting is sloppy... compared to how he's seen Hero and Mari fight, but he's still weakening the beast, the shadow backing into the mirror with each attack. A sudden attack knocks the keyblade from Basil's hand, it hitting the ground and vanishing. Basil is knocked back, huffing in pain as he watches the tentacles lash out towards Sunny further back.

"Sunny!" Without thinking Basil rushes over towards Sunny, leaping into the air and slashing down with a glow of light. In his hand, a keyblade, glowing gold and green. The creatures hisses, completely vanishing into the mirror. Basil stares at the rematerialized keyblade, his keyblade in awe, before realizing the situation and turning to seal the mirror.

He's smiling as he faces Sunny, happy tears in his eyes.

"All I could think of was protecting you... and my keyblade came to help...T-Thank you Sunny, I couldn't have done this without you. You wanted to see my keyblade right? See! This is it!"

He holds it out proudly, basically glowing. Sunny couldn't help but smile at him back, "Pretty."

Its after this day that Basil rejoins classes, and becomes closer to Sunny, his best friend from those in his class ^^!

And this is! it! A lot longer than expected with more dialogue than anticipated but! here it be!

If you've read this far, thank you! Please lemme know your thoughts!
