Y’know, speculating about the future roster of Midnight Suns is objectively kind of a risky thing to do. Like, sure, there could be DLC past the four announced characters, but it could end up being the case that that is all we get - and any hopes of future content were just fabrications. One could say that they would be like a... Mirage.
...
*coughs awkwardly*
So, I made a moveset for Danielle...
Tumblr media
Mirage’s moveset is focused on precise strikes with her psionic weaponry and stacking the odds in your favour through her visions. By bringing out desires, she can create additional cards for your hand and refill your meters. By tapping into fears, she can show your enemies their own nightmares, boosting the impact of environmental damage and scaring characters into falling when knocked off of ledges. Her arrows, meanwhile, can ricochet off of foes for perfectly-planned chain attacks. And when in doubt, she can always strike people with a spear for Quick close-range damage.
For her Heroic, she creates an illusion of the X-Men around her to confuse her foes as she unleashes a multitude of strikes with her arrows (I am aware that this would be a complete waste of developer resources, making models for characters who aren’t going to be used for anything else, but I think it would be neat).
In the Abbey, Dani would join the Midnight Suns half of the roster, where she would have an extra-special superpower among the team: being the most aware of where specifically Illyana’s social boundaries lie. She would also know all about Hunter’s nightmares, resulting in her being an encouraging voice in Hunter’s life - helping them work through some of their fears of Lilith as well as helping them expand their list of non-demon-fighting non-superhero-ing hobbies.
Her costumes would include a variety of outfits from across her 40 year history, with her default being the modern New Mutants look.

For the whole history of ILLYANA RASPUTINA, please click here.
← ONCE THERE WAS AN IDEA TO BRING TOGETHER →
There’s been some big changes in Illyana’s life. She’s joined the X-Men in addition to being a New Mutant, and Madelyne Pryor has taken Limbo from her. Illyana’s got a new costume, a new team and a new thing going. She’s been through so much in her life that she’s great at adapting to change, but it’ll still take a second to transition. There’s been times in her life when she’s been a little too dark, a little too violent. It’s true -- being in Limbo for so long shaped her in a certain way. Illyana can be unconventional, but she’ll ride for her people. It doesn’t matter that how she does it may change from time to time. In the words of Illyana, it’s @#$& or fight. There’s no reason not to do both.
←  A GROUP OF REMARKABLE PEOPLE TO SEE IF THEY →
✗ DANI MOONSTAR (616) is one of Illyana’s best friends. She was with her recently during the whole Limbo ordeal, and Illyana has let Dani into her very selective circle of trust. Dani -- along with Rahne, Sam, Roberto, Doug and the other New Mutants -- have been through a lot together. They were just kids when they started and they’ve all grown a lot.
✗ SCOTT SUMMERS (616) was part of the Phoenix Five along with Illyana, Emma Frost, Piotr Rasputin and Namor. They stuck together afterwards and recruited new mutants alongside Emma, all three working through various kinks with their mutations. A lot has happened since then -- Scott dying being and being resurrected one thing. She was honored to serve alongside him as a Captain of Krakoa, and now she’s honored to be an X-Men alongside him as well. He’s flawed, but he’s also good at what he does.
✗ MADELYNE PRYOR (616) had a shit go of things. Illyana always knew her as the evil Goblin Queen, but following her resurrection she claimed to turn over a new leaf. Illyana chose to believe Madelyne wanted the best when she agreed to hand Limbo over to her. Illyana’s had her fill of demons. It’s time for something new, and Madelyne is more than capable of handling Limbo.
← COULD BECOME SOMETHING MORE  →
✗ THE X-MEN → It’s one of many new steps for Illyana. The X-Men have turned into something new under Jean and Scott, and her close friendship with the latter helped encourage her to join the roster in addition to the many other teams she’s a part of. Life without Limbo is different, but the X-Men are helping her get through the transition. She’s proud to be on the roster.
✗ OTHER AFFILIATIONS -- great captains of krakoa. midnight suns. strange academy. krakoa. new mutants.
← & IF WE CAN’T SAVE THE WORLD, WE’LL AVENGE IT →
✗ AGE → 20-25 ✗ MULTIVERSE ORIGIN → 616 ✗ SPECIES → mutant ✗ ETHNICITY → white ✗ SECRET IDENTITY → public ✗ RELATIONSHIP STATUS → open ✗ FACECLAIM → anya taylor joy ✗ AVAILABILITY → taken
← FUN FACTS →
also goes by her"darkchylde” self
grew up in limbo and was its sorcerer supreme
has a policy of "@#$& or fight."

i think that there's a lot of things coming in my future, but i don't know how to act or what to do moving forward. what do you think i can/should do? LLP, capricorn sun 💜👒✨
Let’s see how I can help!
I pulled: The Two of Pentacles!
-A balance. This card is saying things are changing, it’s time to adapt! Make sure to set your priorities straight, make a list of what needs to get done and make sure to order it from something that needs the upmost attention to what can be dealt with at a later date! This card says you have a lot of priorities at the moment, so manage your time wisely. Maintain your balance through and through and I’m sure you can tackle what’s to come fairly well! Just remember, though you may have a lot coming up, there’s no shame in taking a break! Don’t overwhelm yourself, okay? I know that’s hard to do, but it’s okay to press pause and take a breath.
I hope this helps! I’m sure whatever comes your way you have the strength to face head on!

I have a really bad habit of procrastinating everything. I feel like its gonna be the death of me, how do I stop procrastination? what kind of motivation is the best?
Hi! Boy, I’ve been there - here’s a list of resources that may help you beat that procrastination: 
 Apps that will help you get your shit done 
Staying motivated 
Anti procrastination masterpost by @elkstudies 
How to stop procrastinating by @studydiaryofamedstudent 
6 ways to avoid procrastination by @ivystudying 
Productivity and Procrastination by @mystudypencil 
Overcoming Procrastination by @studious-simplicity 
Types of procrastination and how to deal with them by @emmastudies  
Writer’s Block as recommended in this post by @studytothe97 
How to stop procrastinating by @ashleigh-studies 
Focus Timer as recommended by @we-get-shit-done 
There’s no one step fits all approach to managing procrastination. It’s going to happen, many many many times - whether it be in the context of study or work. 
Sometimes, I think rest - removing yourself from the situation works, particularly if it’s a short term issue. Finding new ways to do the same old shit, essentially. 
If it is a long term issue - something that keeps recurring for years after years, I really think it’s time to take a step back and consider your options. Perhaps the mere act of procrastination is hinting at something deeper - (and no, I don’t mean that “it’s telling me I’m A LAZY FOOL GDI”) - a career change, a field change, disinterest in what you’re doing, dissatisfaction/ distraction in other areas of your life. 
And in the end, managing procrastination is largely dealing with the guilt that comes with procrastination. 
So to that end, let me tell you: it’s normal to procrastinate sometimes.
We’re only human.
Human.
Not robots.

suggestions for a young writer? im 15 and i just started seriously writing about a year ago~ since then I've written mostly poetry but I really write other stuff like short stories or plays too! but i always have trouble making my ideas ideas into something and just deciding how or what i want to write. and i get so worried that i lose motivation! i think that i first want to tackle trying to make characters/a simple short story. advice, tips, or tricks? thank youuu!
Hi! I’m glad you’re ready to get started! Beingeager about writing is the best. Writing a poem is a lot like writing a shortstory, so you’re on the right track. Good writing is precise and almost lyrical.
It can be really difficult to maintain motivation.Most people will advise you to write every day, which is good advice, but it’sjust not always feasible. The more you write, the better you will get!
Personally, titles and concepts and characters areall equally likely to get me started on a project. A cool title might pop up inmy head, and then I develop what story and characters go with it. Or I’ll havea concept that I’ll develop and label. Other times, I start with a characterand figure out who they are and what they do.
Here’s my most popular post regarding charactercreation: https://writeinspiration.tumblr.com/post/158687382194/how-do-you-create-characters-or-do-they-come-find
Keeping motivated can be really difficult whenyou’re unsure of your capabilities as a writer. But the more you wait to putyour ideas to the page, the harder it will be to pick things back up. Onceyou’ve gone a week without writing, one more day seems like nothing. One moreweek, one more month… where does it stop?
I’ve seen people suggest leaving off in the middleof a sentence. When you do that, you are setting up for success. You alreadyknow exactly how that sentence will end and where it will lead. So once you sitdown with it again, you can hit the middle of the sentence without staring at atotally blank page.
I have a lot of different posts and tags that mayhelp you out!
Writer’s block and depression (1), and again (2), and some pick-me-ups (3)
First drafts don’t have to be good. 
Write a whole bunch of crappy sentences if that’s what it takesto get a good one.
Don’t let it get you down. Just get it done.
Your big ideas are worth pursuing.
This post in particular will likely resonate with you and how you feel right now: https://writeinspiration.tumblr.com/post/132168477614/ive-been-trying-to-write-for-years-unfortunately (full text included at the very, very bottom of this post)

QUOTE REBLOGGEDFROM BLOTS& PLOTS WITH 105,191 NOTES
Young writers should read books past bedtime andwrite things down in notebooks when they are supposed to be doing somethingelse.
— Lemony Snicket  (via blotsandplots)
14THDECEMBER 2012
The question for each man to settle is not what hewould do if he had means, time, influence and educational advantages; thequestion is what he will do with the things he has. The moment a young manceases to dream or to bemoan his lack of opportunities and resolutely looks hisconditions in the face, and resolves to change them, he lays the corner-stoneof a solid and honorable success.

Starting to write:
https://writeinspiration.tumblr.com/post/132168477614/ive-been-trying-to-write-for-years-unfortunately
deathtotheselfie asked:I’ve been trying to write for years. Unfortunately I’m very young and theschooling I’ve received on writing is nothing like I what I write about. I’monly 14 now, but little phrases and ideas bounce around in my head. Howeverwhen I write I feel like it’s not good or mature enough because of my lack ofexperience. I can’t tend to think of original plots as I’m just surrounded inother people’s work. Do you have any advice on plot development? And do youthink I should continue trying to write?
Hi! Your question makes me quite sad. If you liketo write, then you should pursue it. It’s that simple.
School doesn’t help much in terms of creativewriting. Over the summer, when I was little, my mom would make my sister and mewrite short stories. It kept me in the habit of writing even when school wasn’tin session.
(Wanna know a secret? I often got stuck halfwaythrough my story, so I’d coerce my sister into showing me hers. Then I wouldwrite the same events but in my own words. I did this for quite a while onesummer. Maybe two.)
Not only does school keep you ridiculously busy,but it also doesn’t like teaching creative stuff much either, because math andscience are deemed as more important than anything related to the arts.
All those negative voices banging around in yourhead along with all the good ideas you have? You need to learn to silence them.Those things are what you are being trained to think.
Here’s what nobody seems to know about writing:you have to start  somewhere. No one starts off as an amazing writer.
People expect writers to have this magical well ofintuition, but honestly, it just comes from practice.
You know that thing about practicing 10,000 hoursin order to become a master at something? It applies to writing, too.
Writers write.
You need to watch and write things down–what youobserve can be the basis for characters or plot or whatever. Eavesdrop on astranger’s phone conversation to get a peek into other people’s lives. Sit on abench in the mall and watch people go by.
Do you know how babies learn? They observe otherpeople doing things and then try to mimic them.
I don’t mean that fledgling writers are babies, ofcourse, but I mean that you can get your best work by reading other people’swork.
Figure out what you like to read, what you don’t liketo read. And then ask yourself WHY.
What is it about that book you hated? Was it thecharacters? The plot? The slow story-telling?
What did you love about that one book? How did itmake you feel? What parts made you feel that way?
I was in middle school when I began reading a Series of Unfortunate Events  (I’m25, for comparison’s sake). Do you know what my writing sounded like while Iwas reading those? Lemony Snicket. It wasn’t on purpose, but that’s just whathappened. (Also for comparison’s sake, I now have had a short story publishedin an actual anthology and completed a 60-page poetry collection as my creativethesis, as well as a book that I’m trying to get published.)
The more you read, the more you gain. If you readenough books, then you’ll have influences from all over that create a uniquewriter: you.
You are the sum of everything you have ever reador seen or thought about.
Yes, you’re a teenager. But that doesn’t stop youfrom observing the world and teaching yourself to understand other writers’work.
If you want to write something but are worriedthat it sounds too much like somebody else, then figure out why it sounds thatway. Is it just you that thinks it sounds that way? Or do other people tell youthat as well? Find out what it is that makes it sound like that. Is it thenarration? The plot? The themes?
Regardless of your answers, you are able to makeit unique to you.
You are a writer, and whatever you write will beyours and yours alone.
As far as plot development goes, I find thatoutlining helps. I don’t always keep to the outline, but askingyourself “Then what happens?” after each event that you write down is thebest thing you can do for yourself.
A plot is a series of events. If you know whathappens naturally after something, then you write that down. It also helps ifyou understand WHY something happens.
She goes to the mall.
Then what happens?
She ends up going home and crying in her room.
Why? What caused this? What physical actionscaused her to want to leave the mall? What mental actions occurred because ofthe physical actions?
She runs into someone she used to be best friendswith, and they get into a fight. This makes her feel disappointed in her friendbut also unsure of herself because she doesn’t know what she has done to makeher friend act that way. She places the blame on herself instead of on herformer friend. This is because she has been told growing up that everything isher fault and that her younger brother can’t do anything wrong.
See what I mean? And it’s okay to ask yourselfwhat you would do in that situation. But your characters are not you. Theyprobably won’t react like you would. And that’s okay and important.
As I told my students last year, ask yourself WHYand HOW after each sentence, after each paragraph, after each plot point, aftereach whatever. It will keep your story going until it reaches its naturalconclusion.
Okay, this ended up being way, way longer than Iintended it to be, haha. But I’m completely serious and obviously verypassionate about this. And I can say way more on the subject at the drop of ahat, so if you have any more questions, then just give me a shout. :)
Best of luck. And don’t stop writing.
I mean it. :)

AWWWHHHHH SQUEEEEEE THIS IS SO CUTE OMG MY CUTE LITTLE ROBOT SON~ i currently have Electric Angel kinda stuck in my head at the moment so it sorta matches, huh? The thing with Ai "getting hot" is so adorable awwhh~ I like the MC too, she's cool~ I love Ai so much but like how is he even built?? how does he eat, is he even physically able to blush?? ALL THE VOCALOID SONGS ABOUT ROBOTS! anyways I liked this a bunch, looking forwards to more~!
midnight-moonstars
hnnnnngggg imagine how precious it would be with Ai trying to confess and having to ask Reiji for help and the MC is like awwhhh and kisses him on the cheek and its too much for the poor little robot and he just faints O(≧∇≦)O
omg I’m so glad someone liked this silly little story haha
To be honest, I don’t know much about vocaloid, so I had to look up the song but yes! It’s so cute and I feel like it does match Ai’s feelings a bit. I’m glad you like his overheating! For me it’s kind of his version of blushing (because I haven’t worked out a headcanon regarding whether he can blush or not and how), and it’s what sparked the story idea in the first place. 
Gah, I have so many headcanons about Ai’s structure and functions! I could probably ramble for days but I don’t want to bore anyone lol
I think there will definitely be an overheating scene at some point. I just gotta stitch all the rest of the ideas together~ 
Thanks for your comments! They’re super encouraging.

rei with an s/o that calls him by a cutesy nickname and enjoys using it often and around (nearly) everyone, without shame and with extra affection.
┊ ˚➶ 。˚ ☁️ @midnight-moonstars’s full request found here!
note: these are silly cute little headcanons but i got a bit carried away with this concept so there's appearances from rei's friends and ritsu. i just thought this was really cute. i couldn't stop.
oh, rei does not feel an ounce of shame or embarrassment when it comes to his nickname given from you. no, he cherishes it as though it were gifted to him by one of the gods he worships. he holds it dear to his heart, etching it into the very bones that form his structure. each time he hears the name, he is reminded of your nature. you are too pure.. and all too trusting of those who are pulled into your orbit. within your eyes, this world is painted in colors of what it could be, not tainted with the dullness of reality, much unlike your counterpart. rei has seen the abhorrences of this earth, he has seen people twisted by greed and desire, humans crumble to sin, spread fire amongst peers… you are the sun that illuminates the day and bring shine to the people, and he is the moon that watches the sun.
the others around the two of you might cringe a little at how loving you guys can be with one another, with all the nicknames and public displays of affection. koga and kaoru being the main perpetrators of trying to tear the two of you away from one another.
“go somewhere else if yer goin’ to do that!” koga barks with clenched fists, cheeks blooming a scarlet color as he waves his hands, “we wanna practice not watch ya two— make out!”
you guys aren’t kissing. nor were the two of you guys touching. as a matter of fact, you had only just arrived and were currently in the door frame, hand awkwardly outstretched towards rei and his hand frozen reaching for you as you guys blink at koga. you had only called out for each other, no other scandalous deeds had taken place.
as for kaoru. well, he gets as kaoru gets. sighing and sulking about how he wished a certain someone would call him a cute nickname. then glance over at you to make sure you’re observing his antics. once he confirms you’re looking, he goes back to pretending to wipe away nonexistent tears before turning to take your hand into his, eyes gleaming as he asks if you could maybe give him a cute little nickname.
you simply just pet him on the head and call him a silly boy before going to cling to rei’s arm.
( rei isn’t an easily jealous person, he has the patience only a saint could contain. and he is used to kaoru’s ways, but in this moment, he can’t help but to flash a wicked, knowing smile kaoru’s way as though he'd triumped over him. )
and if he were to hear that nickname in a crowd of people, he shall heed to it as a devotee who only answers to whom they are devoted to. each time he hears this name, he can’t help the quirk of his lips, the calling, beckoning of his heart trapped in a golden cage to which only your hands hold the key. the voice that sent him back to humanity, the endless fuel to the flames of adulation that burn only for you.
ah, there is but one person who calls him by that name. with a steady increase in the dance of his frozen heart, he’ll turn on his heel, ready to accept his beloved into his open arms.
only to be met with a visage that is not who he hopes it to be. his lover did not have shining long hair adorned with some... eccentric bun and braid combo, nor did their clothes incessantly move around as if there were something trapped in them.
wataru hibiki…
“my oh my, what is with that scary face rei!” wataru places his hands up in surrender, “i did mention i am quite well versed in the art of vocal mimicry, correct? i sounded just like your dearly beloved just now, right~?"
rei crosses his arms, brow twitching subtly with what could only be irritation, softly sighing at his dear friend, “you wish to shatter this old man’s heart… my heart longs for my dearest. i have yet to lay my eyes upon them. you have not happened to catch sight of them, have you?”
that’s when your head peeks from behind wataru, “rei-chan~!”
his eyes instantly gleam, body perking up as he sets his gaze upon you, “my beloved!” his arms instantly open, it's almost second nature to them to automatically become a gate to welcome your vessel into his own when he sees you.
such a lovely reunion, wataru laughing at your antics, you leaping into rei’s arms, him twirling you around, passerbyers avoiding your legs.
the only person the two of you get embarrassed using loving nicknames around is ritsu. more on your behalf than rei’s. he notices you refer to him so formally if his brother happens to be around the two of you, and that you stand nearly five feet apart from him much to his surprise. it’s almost as if you aren’t his partner of many moons passed, but the stranger he had met under the moonlight in the cemetery.
ritsu likes to joke that not even his own partner likes rei with how you act around him, and with how you tend to dote on ritsu in a subtle manner, he likes to rub it in rei’s face and claim you like ritsu more. he even lets you call him “ritsu-chan” much to rei’s distress. ( he’s distressed because he wishes to refer to his brother and receive his affection, but also wishes to receive your affection and be refered to by his little nickname. )
ritsu even plays up his actions a bit to steal your attention from rei. he’s a bit tired? he must be carried by you or use your lap to rest. he hit his hand against something? oh, he’s in unbearable pain and needs you to hold it. something scared him? he needs you to hold him and let him hide his face in your chest.
this causes rei to whine, also playing up his old man act and chiding you for give more attention to the young kid rather than your favorite old soul, tells you how his bones ache from practice and he needs you to give him a massage in his room. you ask why not here with ritsu and he sighs in an exasperated fashion, pulling you away from his brother and continuing his dramatics.
“is this old man not enough for you any longer? has our eternity ended so soon? why do you not care for me as you once did? is it because i am no longer in my prime?”
when you try to protest, he simply shushes you, taking your hand into his while leading you away from his beloved little brother, “silence, little one, we have business to attend to. lest… you have forgotten the promises you’ve sworn me? old men need more attention than the youngens, they have enough youth and resilience to bounce back; we do not. now come, help me with my work,”
yes, it is quite a predicament you’ve been put in but you’re happy to just be spending with your precious rei-chan~

Remus’s Smile
This is for you, @nymphydora14! Happy birthday <3. It’s short, but I hope you like your gift!
Trigger Warnings: swearing (only one), injury and scar mention, if there’s anything else please let me know!
Setting: Marauders-Era Hogwarts, with unestablished Moonstar (ship)
Remus laughed, and sound like chains breaking flooded Sirius’s ears.
Their school robes were strewn on the floor upstairs in the dorm, far from where the pair lounged. They were alone in the common room, wearing their pyjamas and waiting for the rest of the Marauders. James and a guilty-by-association Peter were still in detention, for a prank Sirius couldn’t possibly have been a part of. He was in the infirmary from a quidditch injury when it happened, and Remus was a visiting witness, after all...
The clock chimed midnight, and Sirius mourned as it cut Remus’s laugh short. He really ought to make more jokes, if they made the teenager’s face light up so well. With his mousey (or was it wolfey?) brown hair and warm green eyes that sparkled ever so slightly, no matter how dark it got, it was no wonder that Sirius couldn’t stop staring at him. And when his pale pink lips curled up in that smile to reveal his slightly pointed teeth, there was really nothing Sirius could do but inch closer. To him. To the edge... the edge of the couch.
The Gryffindor hit the floor with a thud, head barely missing the fire place.
“Merlin! Are you okay?” Remus asked, face suddenly panicked as he reached out to help the klutz up.
“Y-yeah, Moony, I’m as fine as always.” A nervous laugh escaped him, and he would have shot Remus finger guns had the taller teen not been holding Sirius’s hands in his. Despite their rough, gnarled backs, his palms were surprisingly smooth. “Oh...” he muttered, thumb absentmindedly stroking against the inside of his friend’s hand. They kneeled before each other, Remus down on one knee in such a caring motion that Sirius couldn’t help but imagine the future — the future he began to dream of, side by side with Remus Lupin until they died. His heart was hammering in his chest as he thought: fuck it, and brought Remus’s hands up to float between their chests. To his relief, Remus moved closer with him, resting his hands upon Sirius’s chests more than willingly.
The cockier teen felt red flush his neck like fire - they were so close to each other! He could see each scar and perfect blemish on Remus’s face, could reach out to stroke the rosy blush creeping across the bridge of his nose if he only dared, if he could just stop staring in Remus’s eyes, pupils dilated (that meant something, didn’t it? Something good? Sirius had forgotten). If only he... You know what? He could. His mind raced faster than he’d ever flown, and his Adam’s apple bobbed as he swallowed his hesitation, but he brought their heads closer together still. Their foreheads touching, all he could see was Remus’s creased eyes, Remus’s lips in a soft smile, Remus’s eyebrow slightly raised, Remus, Remus, Re-
“We’re baaack!” James’s voice sang out from the portrait hole, and the pair rocketed away from each other in fright. “So, what did we miss?”

Betrothed Through Thick and Thin
Summary: Nurgul journeys to the Kingdom of Richmond to perform her duty on meeting and marrying her betrothed, the crowned prince of Richmond, Gabe.
Word Count: 1000+
Read on AO3:
An unearthly groan escaped the walking corpse’s withered lips. Its blank, milky eyes looked lazily up at the cloud before getting distracted by the sound and movement of a nearby bunny. The small brown creature twitched its nose this way and that as its beady eyes stared in horror at the living dead that was ever so slowly making its way towards what it hoped would be its next meal. The muscles stretched and grew thin on the arm of the living dead, another sound wheezing out of its rotting lungs when a steel blade sliced through the air and became embedded in its head. With a grunt the wielder of the curved sword pulled the metal clean from the walker’s skull, making blood and brain matter pooled out as it collapsed, truly finally dead.
“I hate this land,” Nurgul muttered and flicked the blood off her blade. Her brown eyes searched around the dirt road before her, noticing the different members of the living dead that roamed around aimlessly. A pair of them were fighting over the carcass of a deer that had been out for many days. Flies buzzed around it while filthy teeth tore at its molding flesh. Nurgul’s face twisted in disgust at the sight. To think that things like this lived just beyond the Moonstar Mountains.
Her eyes wandered back for a moment to look at the mountains. Their snowy peaks on top of the dark grey bases looked smaller to her now that she had journeyed all this way. Beyond them was her home, a place she couldn’t return to for she had a duty to perform: marry the prince of the kingdom of Richmond. Nurgul let out an anxious sigh, her sight turning to the sky where her hawk, Botakuz, flew free. The hawk’s red-brown speckled chest stood out prominently as her wings of brown and white carried her along the wind. She would be Nurgul’s eyes in the sky to spot the kingdom she would be making her home. There she would meet her betrothed in order to form a treaty in case there ever came a day the living dead made it past the protection of the mountains and entered her lands. She prayed that day would never come. So she would do what was necessary for her kingdom.
But that didn’t mean she had to be kind to her betrothed. She wouldn’t say good morning to him or wish him luck when he went hunting. That would really show him that she was simply marrying him for the treaty and had no positive feelings towards him in particular. Nurgul paused for a moment, wondering if those standards she was setting were too mean, but she quickly shook her head. No, they were just mean enough.
The princess smiled to herself, proud of her plan when suddenly she noticed some of the walkers were getting too close for comfort. Nurgul huffed and used her curved blade once more to end the hollow existence of the living dead. Her sword's movement sliced the tip of the walker’s skull clean off but the brain still remained intact. Its decaying hands blindly reached out, brushing against her white horse’s tail that flicked frantically at the feeling of other hands tangling in its mane. Botakuz swooped down, her talons extended as they dug deep into the living dead’s exposed brain and tore it to shreds.
“Whoa, it's all right, Jirtez,” Nurgul patted the horse's neck. The gesture calmed down the noble steed who snorted and shook his mane. “We shall survive in this land.” he princess gave the same promise that she had made to herself all those months ago when she heard the news of the arranged marriage. As soon as she had learned of the terrifying creatures that haunted this land, Nurgul knew that she must make herself as strong as steel.
So Nurgul had trained for countless hours, bettering herself so that she wouldn’t die a meaningless death in this terrifying land that she would be sent to. Her bow clinked slightly on her back as she clicked her heels against her horse’s side to pick up speed a bit more to hopefully avoid any more close calls with the living dead. The feathers on her tall light blue hat blew gently in the wind while her eyes once more ventured to the skies. This time though it was to take in the beautiful white, fluffy clouds that lazily made their way through the sky. She loved the clouds, how carefree and beautiful they were, how they set her mind and heart at ease.
The princess’ attention quickly turned away from the sky though, knowing that she couldn’t risk cloud watching on her journey in these lands. Her sword quickly became slick with more blood as she cut down a member of the living dead that had been drawn in by the sound of hooves hitting the dirt road. Nurgul kept her focus entirely on the road and any threats nearby until her hawk gave a cry that made her eyes look up and see the greystone castle peeking out from the walls that surrounded it. This must be the kingdom she had ventured all this way for; the kingdom of Richmond.
As her horse trotted closer to the walls, Nurgul noticed that she was nearing the southern entrance. Colors of midnight blue and silver filled her eyes when she took in the sight of flags and tapestries that adorned the walls near the gate. Nurgul guided Jirtez towards the direction of the gate and held her right arm out. It held a simple brown leather arm guard for Botakuz to safely land on. She curled her right hand into a fist to prepare to receive her pet.
“Bo-” The princess’ word stopped short when she noticed a young man who was diligently working to master the sword. He stood with a determined stance, his black arming cap sitting proudly on his head while he swung the sword. His warm brown eyes didn’t seem to match the small frown on his face when he noticed that he had messed up a move. His simple clothes made Nurgul recognize him to be a peasant boy. She smiled at his hard work; it wasn’t easy to train with the sword. His brown hair blew ever so slightly with the breeze when suddenly he gave too mighty of a swing that caused his broadsword to become stuck in the tree.
“Damn it!” His voice rang out throughout the open field. He placed his foot on the tree to try and help as he pulled with all his strength in hopes of releasing his weapon. That was when Nurgul noticed that quite a few members of the living dead had been drawn in by his voice and training. Their decaying flesh hung off all areas of their body as they moved towards their potential next meal. The unnerving moans and groans of the walking corpses made the young man look up with fear in his eyes. His hands grew sweaty and his attempts to free his weapon became more frantic. Nurgul knew in an instant that she must help him. Clicking her heels against her horse’s side, she rode forward into battle.
Gabe couldn’t believe this. Not only had he messed up a whole lot in the new moves he was trying to master but now his sword was stuck in a tree. What made the situation even more shitty was the fact that not one, not two, but six living dead were wandering towards him. He hadn’t told Mariana or Javi where he was going nor was he close enough to call for help and have it arrive in time. The only way he could make it out of this was if he somehow got the sword unstuck from this tree, fought them all off until they were defeated or found an opening. But it was no use. His broadsword was embedded in the tree, he wouldn’t have the amount of time he needed.
Gabe wouldn’t survive this; he would get eaten or turn. That was the fate that awaited him. His eyes shook with fear as the walkers drew near when suddenly a girl dressed in a beautiful, intricate light blue dress appeared before him on a pure white horse. Her steel curved sword shone in the sunlight and with a quick swing of her weapon she ended the miserable existence of one of the living dead. Gabe stood in awe at the sight before him. The girl rode forward and circled around the walkers in order to herd them and guide them away from Gabe.
“Are you alright?” The girl’s kind eyes looked into his. He blinked and his mouth hung slightly ajar at the sight of the warrior noblewoman in front of him when he realized he should probably say something.
“Yes,” Gabe’s voice had gone slightly higher than normal for some odd reason. He cleared his throat. “Yes, thank you!”
The girl smiled then turned her attention back onto the threats in front of her. Her curved sword slashed down at the living dead, cutting off some fingers and hands in the process. Gabe continued to work to free his blade, hoping he could help the one who had saved his life but it was no use. So instead he opted to give tips and call out encouraging words.
“You have to aim for the head!” Gabe’s advice made the princess glance over at him.
“I already knew that, but thanks!” She sliced through a walker’s skull, causing the top half to fly back and land by Gabe. “It is the most basic knowledge to deal with these threats in this land.” The noblewoman continued to work to defeat the living dead surrounding her. Her white horse kicked back a walker and she gave a grunt as she embedded her blade into the skull of another member of the living dead.
“You’re doing great!” Gabe called out, not sure what else to do when suddenly he noticed a particular walker getting rather intrigued by the girl’s feathered hat. “Watch out, that one on your right is trying to grab your hat!” The prince’s warning gave the noblewoman just enough time to move away and guide her steed back.
Gabe let out a relieved sigh when he noticed a new member of the living dead stumbling towards him. It let out a series of gurgled groans. Its arms lazily reached out before the right arm’s deteriorated muscle slipped off the bone. The walker didn’t seem to care though and moved forward as its intestines jiggled around its rib cage before splattering to the ground. Gabe shifted his weight and with a well-timed kick he took out the living dead’s knee. He smiled to himself, thinking that Clementine would be proud of him. But he soon realised that he had not thought past that one move.
“Careful!” The girl rode forward, her sword piercing through the back of the living dead’s skull. Thanks to the move, the noblewoman’s face had ended up rather near Gabe’s which made the crowned prince of Richmond blush. The girl seemed to get overwhelmed by how close their faces had gotten but she soon drew back and returned her attention back to the fight.
“Watch out for the two on your left!” Gabe warned and the noblewoman gave a small nod of acknowledgement as she kicked off the living dead from her sword. With a mighty swing she took down the two that Gabe had warned her of.
That left only one: the decaying corpse that had been kicked by her steed was now moseying over towards her. The noblewoman gave a swing but had aimed too low, her blow causing the walker’s head to disconnect from its body and roll on the ground. The girl quickly turned her horse round whose hooves crushed the beheaded skull underfoot. With a shaky sigh the girl sheathed her blade and gave a warm smile. Silently she extended her right arm with a curled fist. “Botakuz,” The noblewoman spoke in a calm, commanding voice and within seconds a hawk flew down from the sky and landed on her arm guard.
Gabe stared with a mixture of wonder and surprise at the sight. The noblewoman gave the hawk a few headscratches then looked over at the prince.
“I’m glad I reached you in time. I am Nurgul. May I ask what your name is?” The girl let down the horse’s reins gently and let it trot in place for a minute.
“I’m Gabe, crow-” He quickly stopped himself, not wanting to have someone know that he had snuck out of the castle nor have this girl that was clearly out of his league think that she was out of his due to his status.
“It's nice to meet you, Gabecrow,” The girl gave a gentle smile.
“Shit, no, that's not my name! It's just Gabe.” the prince explained to the noblewoman who looked surprised and slightly embarrassed by her mistake.
“I’m sorry, I-”
“There you are!” Mariana stormed out of the gates, sword in hand as her light purple dress swayed with her rapid movement. “I’ve been looking everywhere for you! You can’t just ditch your duties or you’ll make for a real dumbass king!”
“Mari!” Gabe’s eyes widened at the sight of his little sister and he began to try to explain.
Nurgul felt herself reeling slightly from the sentence she had just heard. A king? Her eyes wandered down and caught sight of the royal colors of midnight blue and silver that peeked out from under Gabe’s plain brown shirt.
“You,” Nurgul’s voice made the royal siblings stop butting heads and look over at her. “You’re Gabriel Garcia, crowned prince of Richmond.” She shook her head softly in disbelief.
“Yeah? But it's not really that big of a deal,” Gabe awkwardly scratched his neck and gave a shy smile.
“It is a big deal.” Nurgul muttered then looked up and locked eyes with him. “For I am going to be your wife.”
