He screamed out before jolting awake, his mouth quivering as he began to grasp his surroundings. He broke out in tears before slumping back down, clutching his left shoulder where the lichtenberg figure scars now reside.
The inflammation was acting up as usual as he struggles to apply his special serums to help soothe it but some spots, he just couldn't reach so he tolerated it before laying back down on his bed.
His sleep deprived eyes close shut, praying to the archons for these nightmares to be over.
Yanqing woke up in a cold sweat, gripping onto the closest thing or being nearby as he didn't realize it was Mordecai.
His body trembled violently as he struggles to breathe properly, vision blurring as he tries to speak.
"....I....I...I'm so-sorry...I...I had a n-nightmare...I was there, sword in hand...on the ground was my master...l-lifeless. B-Blood on my h-hands...uhnnn....I...I couldn't c-control myself..I'm s-so sorry...I'm a monster!"
He wailed out, both hands now to cover his tear stained face as he curls up into a small ball.
Definitely not mermay anymore but here's the last 3 sirens I wanted to do
and some explanation on why I choose what I did under the cut
(little warning for parasites on fresh's section)
So from left to right
Dream is a golden colored koi carp fish, I picked it because they are very pretty and they represent a lot of positive things like luck and fortune, some people even wish on them to make their dreams come true :> I also thought of the legend where a golden koi fish climbs a large waterfall to turn into a dragon, so they have some mythical legends as well. In terms of the actual fish, Koi are very sociable and sturdy, they also live for quite awhile.
Nightmare is a coelacanth, he should probably be an octopus considering he has tentacles, but I really wanted to make him a coelacanth because I think they are neat. Coelacanth's are very old with the latest fossils being over 400 million years old, they were thought to be extinct until one was found in 1938, grandpa nightmare. They are also nocturnal, sleeping in caves during the day, they live deep in the ocean as well.聽
Fresh is actually a two in one, he is a rainbow parrotfish with a tongue-eating louse in his mouth. Out of alI the bright fish I did a parrotfish because I really like their gradients, and I think the magenta fins fit his jacket. He's a parasite inside of a Sans body, so I picked a fish parasite to go along with the fish half of his body. I chose the tongue-eating louse, a type of parasite that replaces a fish's tongue. It first severs the blood vessels to the tongue and once it falls off takes its place. feeding on nutrients and acting as a new tongue for the rest of the fish's life, very cool and terrifying.
Yanqing shook wildly as he almost jumped out of his skin but tried his best to calm his increased heart rate as soon as he noticed the one who raised him, his lips struggling to move and his eyes as wide as saucers.
