Little Barbatos and Lysias 💙💚

[istanbulite]

and with that.... anti-god and religion pro-human establishment with highly murderous and questionable but overall protective intent I created are... 2.

Which isn't a lot but still a lot for something so niche.

FYI the first one is for Obey Me where my MC comes from a line of demon/and other demonic creature killers and especially dislikes religions bc damn those guys ain't doing anything to help why should we thank god... It's called MDF after the founder's family name. So Eve (my character) s abduction to the school becomes a matter of finding out a lot of information and stopping the process of introducing worlds to each other for her. Later she finds out she's literally the first human woman ever and has doomed the mankind etc

The other is set in Astoria Fate's Kiss universe and it's founded by a bunch of humans eos' father who know the existence of the gods and does not trust H.E.R.A and want all immortal beings out of Earth asap. AKA dead. It's called 1816 as the year without a summer was a terrible terrible disaster for mankind so is the existence of higher beings with too much power. Eos, my AFK MC joins in after her mother is murdered in the most careless way so it'll be interesting when she finds out she's a titan as well :) Also, they become a big problem after Astraeus reveals the existence of gods to everyone and people.. of course get scared. OK i agree w what he did but man i wish the consequences were discuessed even a little

also typing this made me realize Eos and Eve are in fact pretty similar

[harunayuuka2060]

MC: Don't you have anything to do other than getting kidnapped?

MC: I swear, next time you lost from my sight, I won't ever get you again.

Evie: *giggles* Mama's lying.

MC: Are you testing my patience, Evie?

Evie: *kisses her mom's cheek*

MC: ...

Evie: Mama loves me.

MC: *sigh* *kisses her forehead* I should scold your uncles because they're teaching you too much.

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

Satan, Belphie, and Mammon: ...

MC: How have you been doing?

Mammon: We're good! We played with Evie and taught her a lot of things!

MC: And is one of them how to get away from my anger?

Mammon: ...

Satan and Belphie: *nudges him*

Mammon: Ow! You were the ones who taught that child how to lip-service!

MC: *glares at her two brothers*

Satan: Erm... It's more like how to use an opportunity. Isn't that right, Belphie?

Belphie: *nods in agreement*

MC: I see.

MC: You three won't be able to see Evie for a week.

Mammon, Satan, and Belphie: But Sister?!

MC: No "but"-s!

Eo: Sister? Can I play with Evie today?

MC: She's playing in the garden.

Eo: Okay. *leaves*

MC: As I was saying—

*Mammon, Satan, and Belphie already disappeared*

MC: *a vein popping on her forehead* *sigh* Seriously, what do I even expect from them?

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

MC: *holding Diavolo by his legs, wrapping them around her waist while kissing him*

Diavolo: *gets extremely aroused when they're alone together*

Diavolo: Should we make another one?

MC: You traumatized the shit out of me during your labor and now you want another one?

Diavolo: But it was worth it. *smiles*

MC: *frowns* There's no doubt who Evie got her attitude from.

Diavolo: Please, wife? Let's have another one.

MC: Tch.

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

Evie: *has brought Devine to the castle* Mama! Papa! I found my wife! I'm gonna marry her!

Devine: *blushing in embarrassment*

Diavolo and MC: ...

MC: *mutters* Dammit, Melveth.

Barbatos: *holding back his laughter*

Devine: Onee-san...

Evie: Devine! You will marry me when I get older, right?

Devine: H-Huh?

Diavolo: Evie, don't put her in an awkward situation.

Evie: But I'm proposing! And Papa said that he did the same thing with Mama!

MC: *glares at Diavolo*

Diavolo: *looks away*

MC: We're going to talk later.

Diavolo: Yes, wife...

Devine: *smiles awkwardly* I should be going. And I really apologize for this situation.

MC: You did nothing wrong, Devine. It's just that my daughter got the exact personality of her father.

Diavolo: *sad pouts*

Barbatos: And got the charm of her mother. *snickers*

Red Rising Thoughts: Golden Son

Ok, this is a little out of order because I talked about when Adrius met with Darrow in my last post and a couple of these are before and after that since I needed to put certain themes together.

This one might be a bit depressing...

The idea of Pinks has intrigued me ever since I found out what they were. However, I really wish PB would explain more how this works. Does the Cupid's Kiss react to the person having an orgasm? And if that's the case, are children of 12 or younger forced into sexual acts? (If so..damn, that's tragic as fuck.) Or is the act of "obeying" purely in just the literal sense where they just follow orders and if they prove to be truly obedient, they take out the kiss? Idk, I guess I just need answers and for now I'm literally just making up my own headcanon's for how it works for a story I'm trying to come up with.

This is something else that makes me think. As a Pink, Theodora is well aware of the plight of her own color, yet she cares for Darrow so much that she still suggests that he take advantage of one of her own kind because at least he will be gentle. It's a tragic life that Pinks have to lead and I want to keep exploring them because I think there is a lot of potential for really good, albeit sad, stories regarding Pinks in general. Hence why I am bringing in an OC I made for the Ghost fandom and making him a Pink. He already has a bad reputation regarding sex in general and while he has a tendency to revel in it too much, it also brings a lot of pain so I think giving him the life of a Pink makes a ton of sense!

This just killed me the first time I read it and I still felt it the second time. I can't even imagine how it felt to know that, not only did you lose your wife, but your unborn child as well. But, it speaks to Eo's conviction that she would rather her child die than to live and suffer in the world they lived in now. Was it selfish of her to make that decision for Darrow as well, probably...but it was obviously the only thing she could do to force him into action. However, I don't think she understood how hard it was going to be for Darrow to live without her. He is just lucky that his Uncle worked with the Sons of Ares or else things would have been much different!

And here I go again talking about Tactus again 🤣

Tactus is such a tragic character to me. Not only because of how he ended later on, but how he lived. He's obviously a bit of an addict, but is also desperate for love and attention that he bugs Roque when Roque is just trying to relax. And then you have his brothers... terrible people who can't even be happy for his brother's success and friendship with someone who actually has honor. It's like they almost prefer Tactus to be a drug addict little Pixie...it's sad.

Before I move on though..this also made me question something. Roque said they started the brothel when they were 14...so, Tactus is obviously younger than Apollonius and Tharsus, but are those two the same age? Do they have different mothers? Different fathers? Seriously PB...give us a separate Valii-Rath story!!!

Roque..really? Why are you so friggin cute???! 🤣🤣

Ok, had to add some cuteness to the end of this one just to make up for the rest of it lol.

A Knight For The Light

A final fantasy fanfiction for my oc and her family.

Characters: Cor Leonis, Laura lucis caelum (my oc), Loqi Tummelt, Somnus Lucis Caelum, Gladio Amicitia, Dario, Amisitia(my oc), Prompto Argentum

warning:

 My national language is not English. I apologize for spelling and grammar mistakes.

Sorry, my network is so weak and I can't insert photos.

summary:

When your flesh and blood are mixed with pain and you are nurtured with it, you dedicate your whole being to those who were trying to improve your suffering by touching their love. What's wrong with you? It does hurt to lose these loved ones, even thinking about it bothers you. At that time .. you grab everything to stop the destiny .. like a bird stuck in a cage and trying for freedom, you knock yourself on the door and the wall to find a way ... and if you find it. Nothing can stop you, even if it is a God!

part:16

After a moment, when the sun was in the middle of the sky, Loqi stands away from the main tent, he couldn't put Lunafreya on the ground because he was afraid that her condition would get worse! So he took her back to the main tent of the camp. Crystal's gaze was fixed on both of them. She knew they wanted to be with Laura, and what a bliss it was to fight beside her. She glanced at Ignis, kissed his cheek and smiled bitterly:

"Dear, can you wait here?"

Ignis didn't need to look at the crystal! He just nodded and let her go! Crystal arrived at the tent just as Luna was talking:

" I can't leave you alone. This battle is to keep my king .. Please let me be with you."

After Lunafreya's words, Laura's frown deepened.

"What war has happened?"

That was the question that Prompto raised. And that's exactly why Laura frowned. She put his hands on the table and leaned on them:

" Your respectable Lunafreya. But no one knows what the end of this war is! I can't risk those for whom Noctis is dependent. If your life is in danger, Noctis will be alone!"

"Answer Prompto's question, Laura!"

Gladio's voice said this a little louder, but it didn't make Laura look at him!

"When you are not going to participate, there is no need to know it !!"

"I am the sworn protector of it !! You have to tell me !!"

"Gladio !!"

It was Laura's fear that silenced everyone. She took a deep breath so she could control herself. She tapped her hand gently on the table and punched:

" I don't risk your life. I can't see you die!"

"We are with Noctis, please, princess!"

Once again, Lunafreya had spoken. And he was the one who kept going:

"It's so easier if we be more!!."

Laura took a deep breath again. She lifted her hands from the table and stared at the crystal that stood between them:

" Do you want to participate?"

Crystal nodded. But Laura easily objected:

"You're my Oracle, and I want you to stay with Ignis! OK?"

"But .."

"It's an order, Crystal!"

Crystal took a deep breath, it was no wonder that Laura had called her Oracle himself because they had seen her miracle while rescuing Luna! Crystal returned to Ignis with both hands outstretched to bring the two together. Pointing to Laura's gaze, Loqi accompanied them, but only gave them her sister's address.

Now it was time to explain Laura to two men who didn't know about it. She pulled the chair back to sit on it:

"Noctis is going to die for the light! Noctis will be sacrificed and his soul will be the future sun of Eos!"

The shock and disbelief was the reaction of Gladio and Prompto. Both were staring at Laura, who was staring at an unknown spot. Gladio was better able to control his emotions, but Prompto .. The emotional boy of the story leaned on the table and lowered his head to mourn the death of his friend from now on !!

Gladio barely spoke. He clenched his fists and swallowed so he could speak:

"Did he know this himself and did not tell us?"

"No!!"

Laura's short answer made the two men worse than before, but the confusion didn't last long as Laura continued:

" I'm getting ready to kill Bahamut .. because this is the only way to save his life!"

There was a frown between the eyebrows of gladio. A frown of confusion and, of course, determination to save his life! Contrary to Gladio's frown, Prampto was staring at Laura in surprise. He was so shocked that his mouth was open and he could not speak.

And Laura was not the one to wait for them !! He drank some of her coffee and continued:

" Bahamut is the devil of darkness. When it disappears, darkness is replaced by light. No need to be a victim!"

"Where did you get this information from ?? Who said a god can be a devil, he is the god of gods?"

"I said!!"

Gladio asked a question and Somnus answered. Laura's gaze turned to Somnus. He was standing in front of them with his own human body! The presence of Somnus in those clothes was ridiculous for Gladio and Prompto. Hard to try not to laugh.

"What beautiful clothes !!"

Prompto said with a laugh. Laura got up from the chair. She drank her last cup of coffee and headed for Samnus. She stood beside her and answered Prompto seriously:

"This man is .. my grandfather and the founder king! Somnus Lucis caelum!"

And again it was a shock that both, and of course Loqi. But Prompto was a little scared. maybe more. Because the king had made fun of the founder !! Embarrassed, he laughed:

"I didn't know at all!"

With his words, Prompto ruined everything so much that Gladio hit him in the back of his had and then paid his respects to Somnus. He had no doubt because Laura had introduced Somnus !! Following the respect of Gladio, Prompto also bowed, but Loqi did not see the need because he did not see Somnus as his own king.

Somnus just nodded. He turned his gaze to Lunafreya, who was standing next to Loqi, trying to pay her respects to somnus! Her face reminded somnus of his pain!

He went to the chair and sat on it. He gave up a little so he could sleep on the chair!

"When the group is complete, wake me up, rabbit!"

It was Somnus who said and called Laura a rabbit! At that moment, Laura looked at Prompto, Gladio, and Loqi! She understood the meaning of their fanatical look. His majesty was shattered. She squeezed her temples with one hand and closed her eyelids:

"Can't you call me a rabbit in front of them?"

A smile broke Somnus' face a little! He was very enjoyable to make Laura angry with this method! So he answered and closed his eyes:

"No, rabbit commander!"

Prompto's eyes sparkled with love and he stared at Laura. He doesn't see her as a predatory white tiger anymore. He saw her as a little rabbit with a cottontail and pink ears!

Laura noticed Prompto's condition. She was sure that now, in Prompto's imagination, she has both long ears and a cottontail! She put her hand on her forehead and regretted it:

"Let's rest until Cor returns! After that we set off, we have to reach Ardyn!"

The discussion was separated from the joke.

"Insomnia?"

That was the question that Gladio asked. Laura turned her gaze to him and nodded her head in approval:

"We need him to kill Bahamut too!"

"But he was an idiot who brought all this disaster on us!"

It was Prompto who spoke angrily. That word touched Gladio's heart. Laura understood, but tried to answer calmly:

"Ardyn is our blood. He was the great brother of the founding king and an Oracle! His obscurity happened by Bahamut! That creature has become filthy ... and it is our duty to restore its enlightened existence. Believe me, he hurt me more than you, but we need him!"

"It is right with the prince .. When the light shines on Ardyn's heart again, he can balance with the darkness in his being! Then he will make all of us proud."

Luna completed Laura's words. In contrast, the words of the two princess's Gladio and Prompto, have to be obeyed.

When the tent was deserted and the new members of the group left to rest, Laura was left alone. The discussion was so heated that no one noticed Dariolus. She laughed softly and sat down in front of her. Dariolus closed eyes had Laura also fallen asleep!

She put his head on the edge of the bed and closed her eyes, even though she had eaten a large cup of coffee, but still gave in to sleep.

Laura's sleep was equal to the onset of her nightmares! All her life she had not had an asleep without a dream or even a sweet dream. But this time, Laura's nightmare was the key to Dario's awakening!

Ventus passed over Laura's head and landed next to Dario. He stared at his owner with his golden eyes. He tilted his head slightly so he could see better him. Unconsciously, he opened his beak and shouted as loud as he could. Ventus cried out to Dario. Not only did Dario but Somnus wake up too! But the first to react was Dario. He leaned on his hand and raised his tension, stared at Ventus with a terrible frown, and hit in the head of the bird:

"I am asleep! Don't scream over my head !!"

Ventus fluttered his wings in response to Dario's natural reaction and sat on Laura's head! He wanted to wake Laura, and of course, make Dario aware of his princess!

In the first case, he did not succeed, but in the second case, yes. Dario kept looking at Laura's face. His frown got thicker when he saw the bandage on her face! She was injured !!! He wanted to wake her up to ask her what had happened to her!

"Let her Sleep! She must have enough energy for command!"

This voice was unfamiliar to Dario. He raised his head and stared at the man who sat on the chair. A man in ancient clothes. He sat on the bed, took off his coat, and threw it on Laura's body:

"Do I know you, young man?"

When this asked by Dario, somnus laughed at him. He put his feet on the table and put his hands behind his head:

"We started a relationship together when you were dead!"

"He lies!!"

Cor's answer made Somnus laugh more than before! Dario looked at the stranger and stared at Cor. His face became serious while Cor stared at him with a hidden surprise behind his frown mask:

" I thought she was mentally injured, but apparently ... I was wrong!"

Dario slowly got up from the bed. He put Laura to bed on, and regardless of Cor's surprise, he asked his question:

"What a disaster has befallen her!"

Cor's gaze was fixed on Laura and then on Dario! He didn't know how to say it, he wasn't afraid of Dario, he was worried about Laura. He took a deep breath and stared at Dario again:

" I attacked her!"

Cor's answer, filled Dario with anger. With his empty hands, he took the volume to Cor and grabbed his collar in his fist. The pressure on Cor's throat caused him to pull his head back. There was nothing on his face but a frown of coldness:

"Which fool did you want to do the she want to stop you that you attacked her?"

Dario's loud voice woke laura up. She sat down quickly and saw Dario. That's not normal either!

" Execution is not as you think!"

Cor's answer increased Dario's anger. He was taller than Cor, and that made him even scarier:

"I swear to the gods, I will kill you this time !!"

" Enough, Dorio!"

Laura shouted. She got up quickly and went to Dario. But it's as if Dario isn't falling short this time. This was not the first time Cor had attacked laura. Cor's face was blushing and the veins on his forehead were swollen because he couldn't breathe well. He did not defend himself. Not that he couldn't, Dario was right!

Laura's hands wrapped around Dario's arm.

" Please believe it wasn't his fault. Finish it now!"

Dario's hand pressure dropped around Cor's neck, but he didn't let go. He stared into Laura's frightened eyes and answered in a loud voice:

" It's not clear when he will attack you again, Laura !! I have told you many times not to approach this bitch! How many more times do you and your personality have to be destroyed to get rid of him! He doesn't value you and your life, why don't you understand!"

"This is not true !!"

Cor answered instead of Laura. When the scorpion stared at his anger with red eyes, Cor continued:

"I am not that person 30 years ago, understand this! Why should I attack the woman I loved !!"

"That wasn't Cor's job , Dario! Itwas Ardyn's job! He captured Cor to attack me because he thought he would either kill me or I would give up my goal by killing Cor!

Laura's words made Darius gave up! He let go of Cor's collar and stared at the women's breath! Suddenly, he punched him hard in Cor's face with his fist. As a result of the punch, Cor went back a few steps and turned his head. With this blow, all the glaives that were standing around watching were eaten. The fact that their beloved commander was beaten was very bitter for them, but no one dared to stand in front of Dario and say what was the reason for his work! No one knew why Darius hated so much Cor! No one knew about their past! And that's what made the different judgments! In any case, the truth was hidden ... even the truth of this sudden fight!

Laura ran to Cor and grabbed his arm:

"are you okay?"

There was a small scratch on Cor's cheek. Laura's worried face was in front of his eyes, and he couldn't bear to see her worry. He kissed Laura's head and hugged her because he knew Laura was scared! If Dario had killed him separately, Laura would have killed herself! Because she couldn't choose between her two loved ones!

This time, Cor's embrace did not calm Laura. She kissed Cor's wide-eyed shoulder and forced him to sit on the chair. She frowned and turned to Dario:

"You'd better stop hating, Dorio.. He's my husband now!"

Laura's words made Cor smile. Dario, and Prompto and Gladio, who came for the noise!

"What ??? What did you do ???"

Dario spoke first and reacted! But before announcing his opposition, Prompto took a photo of the crowd:

"Without notice ???"

Gladio took the camera from Prompto's hand and frowned at him! It's meant, now is not the time for photography! Laura glanced at Prompto and then at Dario:

"Dario, that story was 30 years ago! I am no longer my former Laura and Cor too! Now is not the time to fight. The Glaives are watching!! Cor is their commander, you should not crush his personality! Let us have a beating heart when we are alone!"

"Just oldest wifes!"

Somnus whispered to himself and laughed. He tied his hands behind his head and closed his eyes! Dario's gaze was locked on Cor. He took a deep breath and then looked at Laura. Slowly he grabbed the bandage on her face and opened it cautiously. Laura's frown, which was a little tied, made Dario tremble worse:

" I'm sorry I couldn't stop that trick!"

Laura just laughed in response to Dario. He took his hand with both hands and stared at him with a smile of nostalgia:

"If you were with me, Cor was dead now! I repeat .. I and those two days ago had a simple marriage, he is now a part of me .. can't you hurt him?"

Dario's frown was fixed on the cold, frozen gaze of Cor! He took another deep breath and stared at Laura:

"You idiot Laura!"

"I'm in love and a lover is an idiot!"

Laura's answer forced Dario to gave up! His behavior was somewhat funny, but no one dared to laugh at him! Everyone was ready for the battle, and Laura and her men decided to go to Insumnia. She wanted the Citadel courtyard to be his battlefield! In addition, he and Somnus had to go to Ardyn!

Chapter One  Chapter Two  Chapter Three  Chapter Four  Chapter Five

_________________________________________________________

The day of the battle has come. Everybody was ready to die by the sword.

Isa was in the middle of her rituals pre fight when she heard steps coming from behind. It was her first commander.

"Eímaste étoimoi! We are ready!" he said.

"Boreíte den akolouthoún mou! You will not accompany me!" she said washing her face.

"Synchóresi? Pardon?" he asked confuse.

"Tha eínai mia dýnami gia na metakinísete ta apóvlita ólous esás gia mia máchi kérdise. Os ek toútou, entolí na boreíte na akolouthísete gia na Mercia! It will be a waste of strength to move all of you into a battle won. So I order you to go to Mercia!" she spoke a little harsh.

"Allá kyría mou... But my lady..." he tried to argue.

"Káne ó, ti ésteila! Do what I told you to do!" she shouted.

"Nai, kyría mou! Yes my lady!" and he left.

"Where are they going?" Ivar asked when the young queen got closer to his chariot mounting her brown horse.

"Mercia. We won't need them here. At least there they will settle a form of government so I can assume later!" she answered looking at the cold inside him.

"You saw something?" he stared her back.

"Maybe... Maybe not..." she laughed a bit when he blinked an eye at her.

"You have not forgotten what we'll do after the battle, right?" he opened a huge smile.

"I thought that you were mad at me, lazy dick..." she said surprise.

"Why? Because you abandoned me and acted like a bitch?" he said acid.

"Stop acting like a spoiled brat, Ivar. You know what happened to me, what I saw. I could not risk being close to you!"

"I am that irresistible?" he taunted.

"Your mouth is divine, my dear. I bet your cock is even more!" and she laughed when he wided his eyes "What? I wonder if you know how to use your dick the way you know how to use your tongue. I even touched myself thinking about it!" and she bit her lower lip.

"I... I..." he was speechless.

"Oh, Ivar, I love to make you blush sheepishly!" she laughed out loud, riding away from him.

"Wait!" he shouted approaching her.

"Just don't die in battle, Ivar... Nor you Hvitserk or you Ubbe!" and she turned to the men who were close to them "For it is not the time of your deaths yet!"

"As you wish, my queen!" they both said it together, bowing to the young woman and making her laugh and laughing themselves too.

Ivar got jealous.

"Do not be jealous, Ivar. You five conquered different kinds of my love. I love you all almost the same way, but ones more than others!" and she straightened in her saddle.

"You should love only me!" Ivar protested.

"Then I should be dead. A life without the many forms of love is no life at all. Love is not a thing to be owned, love is like the wind. You can feel it but you can't hold it or touch it. It is love that touches you!" she spoke as one of her teachings, like she used to do in Kattegat.

"Wise..." Ubbe said with a smile.

Hvitserk smiled even brighter than his brother.

"But you are more mine..." Ivar whispered to Isa.

"That we'll see after we overcome Wessex, brat!" and she winked an eye at him, commanding her horse to gallop.

As a part of Ivar's strategy for the battle, two groups were divided and Isa stayed alongside Ubbe and Hvitserk, being commanded by Bjorn. She was wearing her leather armor upon the chains. She was calmer than anyone in the field. The yearn of the fight for them was like a drug.

Not much after the running of men to disorientate the saxons, the second half of the army heard gallops coming from afar. The hearts started beating faster, except by Isa. She was like a lull, deeper than it may look. It was a matter of moments until they saw the saxons about to hit them with their horses.

"Shield wall!" Bjorn shouted out loud.

And his men obeyed.

The shock with the enemy was eminent. Blood spilled all over, men dying in both armies. It was when Isa saw their leader while she was beheading a soldier.

"Not him!" She screamed to her brethren, stopping them from killing him.

The prince got surprised.

"Remember that when you see me again, prince!" She said in his tongue "Go!"

And he stood up, running to his horse to flee.

The saxon army then ran away, what made the north men celebrate.

"It is not over yet!" she said almost as a whisper before whistling for her horse and leave to Wessex all by herself.

Isa rode to the castle of king Ecbert as fast as the remaining saxon army. Her instincts guided her towards the woods beside the castle, where she waited and watched the motion of the frightened lambs. She saw the prince arriving, she heard that his father made him king, and then she saw everybody leaving. When the place got empty, Isa went inside to see if there was something to preserve from the viking wrath.

The silence was absolute. Empty streets and corridors, nothing but dust along her way. She reached the library of the castle by instinct, as if the gods were guiding her. Quickly, she took all the meaning scrolls with her along with books, maps and paintings. She hid it in an empty trunk and dragged it to the outside, into the woods she were earlier. She knew that the northmen would burn that place to the ground, and save that little treasures was her duty.

It did not take too long to the pagan wave reach the castle. The men thought that it was a trap made by the saxons. They took precaution while entering the empty place. Isa showed up not much later, implying that she had arrived in that moment.

Ecbert, after noting what was happening, took his way towards to the Ragnarssons and Bjorn curbed him to being murdered by his fellows.

By the afternoon, Ecbert was caged the same way he did with Ragnar months ago. The old man was silent still and motionless while the five men were deciding his fate. It was when the young woman entered the room with her eagle upon her shoulder.

"If you will not need me any longer, I must go to Mercia to claim my throne!" she said in a polite tone.

"Of course I will need you, my queen!" Ivar said with his face closed in a scowl.

Isa then looked up to meet the gaze of the old man upon her. Her eagle manifested.

"King!" she said nodding her head slightly.

"Tell me, Isa, what would you do with him?" Ivar asked impatient.

"Given the circumstances, I would not kill him without a deal. For it is wise to guarantee at least two movements ahead the enemy. Your people want to farm and grow, then give it to them. They deserve it!" she said walking with her hands behind her back "However, take his word written in a scroll with his coat of arms, for it is not smart to believe in his bare words again. It might ensure your legal rights on the lands he will give you. Am I right, king?" and she looked up.

"I could not say better, queen!" he spoke amused.

"That means that a blood eagle is out of thought. At least if you don't want to transform him in a saint for his people, raising even more their anger against you!" she spoke haughty as a true ruler.

"Just as I thought!" Bjorn said staring at his little brother.

"You should be by my side, witch!" Ivar said between his clenched teeth.

"Not when you are acting like a spoiled child full of tantrums. This is not about avenging your father only. It is about the beginning of something greater, bigger than anything ever done!" she hissed frowning.

Ivar looked at her under his heavy brows feeling his core burst into flames. He was about to release his wrath.

"Well, I would do that if it was all about me. As none of this concerns me, I leave you at your own judgment!" and she petted her eagle under her beak.

"Gratias ago vos! Thank you!" said the king.

"Pro eo quod gratias ago? Thank you for what?" she asked confuse.

"Tibi gratias ago quia filium meum! Thank you for saving my son!"

She just smiled nodding and then leaving.

Ivar followed her promptly, crawling like a beast ready to attack.

"Why are you doing this to me?" he growled like a ferocious animal still chasing his prey.

"Because you are acting like a stupid boy when you should be acting like a man. You are no longer a child, Ivar, so stop acting like one!" she said without slowing her steps.

"Look at me when I am talking to you!" he ordered almost losing control, grabbing her ankle.

She swiveled in her axis and looked down. Her eagle manifested.

"Watch your tone, asshole, because I am your only ally in this fucking world. Your pain is my pain and I feel it every day. So bite your tongue and respect me!" she brawled in a severe tone "I am not your mother and I will not act like if I was. I am your ally, your friend, your..."

And she held a breath.

"Man up, Ivar!" she said before she leaves.

In the days to come, an agreement was settled between the king and the Ragnarsons, especially Bjorn. The whole west anglia was given to the elder son of Ragnar. A new dawn was emerging.

Isa watched to everything quiet, resigned into her silence. She was proud of the new conquer of the men, for she knew that that was the first sparkle of a new era. The gods has spoken that the world would get bigger from that.

The feast then began to celebrate the deal. Everybody was eating and drinking, laughing and dancing to the music. However, the young queen knew what would come next. Therefore, she waited apprehensive from afar. A quarrel then happened a little after the beginning of the celebration.

They heard the gasp when the ax hit Sigurd's ribs. Ivar has passed from the limit just like his brother. Sigurd always said rude things to him, but he never moved a finger to harm the youngest one. But, now, the blood was flowing like a river. Ivar was wide-eyed.

"MOVE!" Isa shouted running to the brothers table.

She found Sigurd almost dead on the wooden floor, being seen by the entire horde.

"Help me to carry him to a room!" she said to Ubbe, pressing her hands in the bleeding wound.

They ran as fast as they could, carrying the Snake-In-The-Eye through the halls of the castle that belonged to Ecbert. The blood marked the way.

"Bring me water and a bowl with wood and embers on it!" she ordered to Hvitserk who was beside her. He ran like the wind.

Isa undressed the bleeding man almost pale as the bed sheets and saw the damage made by Ivar. Two broken ribs and a cut in his liver and pancreas. That was more serious than she thought. So, after Hvitserk came back with the things she asked, the cure begun.

She touched the water with her left hand while catching the fire with her right. The flames became blue in contact with her skin and then red when she touched the wound. The blood stopped for a few moments and then the man begun to scream.

She was cauterizing the cuts while intoning old healing prayers from her people. The yells grew louder and louder as the cuts healed. Then was the time to fix the ribs and the fire became orange.

"I am the fire that heals the wound and I am the water that changes the changeless. I am the one who brings back the life, I am the one who lights up the path!" she said and the room filled with dense white light.

Isa took her hand away from the man's chest and walked away from the bed. Her breath was choppy and she felt dizzy.

"Bring him water and keep him in bed." she spoke to Ubbe and Hvitserk, both frightened "I shall see your brother!"

"Wait, you are bleeding!" Ubbe said as he saw her shirt clinging to her body in the same side of his brother's wound.

"I am fine!" and she left the room in a heavy breath.

Isa walked to the outside to meet the curious looks upon her. She was covered in blood from head to toes. There was tiredness upon her shoulders as much as guilt. Guilt for had encouraged Ivar's raging temper against the whole world multiple times.

"Where is he?" she asked to Halfdan.

"We don't know. Perhaps he gone hunting other of his brothers!" he joked.

"Maláka! Douchebag!" her jaws locked at the end of the word.

Isa left the men and focused her attention in the fresh trails on the wet ground. At the end of it was the young man, sitting in a large stone in the hill behind the castle, far away and looking to the valleys.

"Is he dead?" he asked feeling her presence on his back.

"Not thanks to your efforts, your fucking spoiled brat!" she answered with difficulty, coughing at the end.

"What?"

"I have saved him!" and she sat beside him lying down in her back to look at the cloudy sky.

"How?" he looked at her with surprise.

"It doesn't matter. He will live after all!" she sighed closing her eyes.

"Why? Why did you do that?" he questioned with his eyes almost jumping from his skull.

"Because of you. All I do is to fix most of your shit, because you are a fucking pain in the ass since the day I met you. Because I could not see you die for such a stupid thing, Ivar, that is why. Asshole!" she answered completely pissed with her head suspended by her hands.

He looked at her in shock.

"I hope you learn from your fucking mistakes from now on, because I am done with your anger for nothing and all the time. Fuck you and all of your bullshit!" then she coughed blood. "Arght!"

He instinctively touched his knife.

"Go on, cripple boy, rip my throat with your knife and silence me for eternity. This is how you deal with what annoys you, right? You cannot handle being confronted. So go ahead, kill me!" and she pulled him to her, making him fall upon her body wet in blood.

"You are bleeding!"

"Thanks to you, now go ahead, cut me!" she grabbed his hand with the knife and pressed the blade in her throat.

"No!"

"Go on!" she pressed even more, cutting her skin softly.

"What is wrong with you?" he yelled dropping the knife between them.

"I will not clean your mess anymore, Ivar. My debt with you has been paid a long time ago."

"Then why did you stay?" he stammered.

"Because I fucking love you, for the gods sake!" she hissed between her teeth.

"You... you..." he mumbled.

"Shut the fuck up!" she closed her eyes feeling the cold breeze freezes her pale body.

Suddenly she felt the warm touch of his lips on hers. Then she tasted the salt drop and she knew that he was crying. Her heart hit fast and stopped interspersed for a few moments. She did not know what to feel. At the end of the kiss, Ivar just collapsed upon her and cried, as he never did before. All that she did was to cuddle his head while he continued to cry, sobbing in pain. Inner pain.

She hugged him with tenderness even with her body protesting on the overweight, for she felt his amount of sorrow and rejection since his conceiving. His heart was heavier than a ton of stones.

"Arght!" she said softly in the middle of the cuddle feeling her ribs come back to their place with a crack sound.

"What..."

"My ribs came back to the place they belong to!" she interrupted him taking a deep breath at the end of the sentence.

"How did you..."

"I healed your brother the way I healed you back in the castle of Aelle. I gave him part of my health and took his wounds as mine!" and she puffed deeply before she feels her organs burn out the cuts, making her growl and muffle a yelp.

Guilty, he hid his face in-between the curve of her neck, squeezing her shoulders with all his strength.

"I hurt you. I... I apologize!" he said pressing his mouth in her cold skin, making her kiss his head as an answer.

They remained laid on the ground until the sun goes down and the moon arises between the clouds. They found some kind of peace in each other even in that moment of change.

"I want you to sleep in my chamber tonight, Ivar!" Isa chopped the silence when the first star appeared.

"Why now?"

"Because you need to know that you are not worthless as a man. You need to find your point of balance before killing someone else or being killed. That and because I promised you my first time!"

"No, my father told me..."

"It is not a choice, it is an order. I know you still think that you are dead from your waist down even after what happened in my boat, and you keep thinking you are not man enough because of it. Part of your anger comes from that. Your action towards Sigurd today proved it. Ragnar told you to embrace your hatred and I say you to embrace your flaws and wear them like an armor!" she stood on her feet "You will come with me to my chamber tonight!"

Then she left and walked back to the castle where she found a feast happening thanks to King Harald.

( chapter 1 ) ( chapter 2 ) ( chapter 3 ) Chapter 4: Secrets

Rating: G/A Word Count: 4,173 Pairing: Ardyn/Fem!OC (( slow-build ))

Summary:       “Hello!” She listened to the sound of her voice echoing upwards but nothing else. “Hey!” Yelling once more, she waited for a response, but it remained a lonely echo. When she looked to her right however, a different kind of light could be seen; A neon sort of glow. So she lugged her body to the other side, slowly but surely, with the bottom of her body dirtying up. She came to the sight of something standing tall, but from where she faced it, she could only see the side of it. Being able to stand, Esme exited the burrow and looked at the glowing object. It lit up the cave that it sat in and when she circled around it, small crystals within it flared a bright blue but deeper in a luminescent violet. She looked around the rest of the blackened cave, littered with moss, in awe of the beauty from the large object before her, wondering if someone else could be lurking in the dark. But it was too still. She still wondered how she even managed to get to where ever she was...

It wasn't long before the king had found himself lost. Going in the direction his chocobo came from, he believed that it would lead him back to where the first set off from. But the further he traveled, the more astray he realized he became. There was no sight of the other chocobos or the carriage and the small shop never appeared again. It was almost like they were trapped in a loop. The fog had cleared out, but the sun began to set. He even managed to get out of the dry area and back into a more forested location. Where on Eos did he lead himself to? He knew nothing about Accordo. Esme remained unconscious the entire ride while the wound on her leg suddenly stopped bleeding. Ardyn didn't even take the time to stop and bandage it up. As much as he wanted to stop, his mind wouldn't allow him to. The need to find, help, and regroup with the others completely clouded over him. However, for the very first time since the day the king first set out to travel with his feathered friend, she grew weary from the strenuous trotting. It needed and wanted rest and that was something Ardyn had to obey—especially with night about to set in.

He led the bird to an uphill, flattened rocky spot. All around it, he made sure to set a ward for the trio to keep them safe from any daemons on the hunt after nightfall. The lines and symbols he connected all throughout in a circle on the stones glowed dimly, bearing the same hue as the summer sky. Finally pulling Esme off from the top of the chocobo, he laid her down for a moment as he wondered how they'd sleep on the hard ground. Almost like the creature could read her owner's mind, she stalked over to where Esme laid, sitting her plump body beside her.

“Kweh...” with a motion of the head towards her body, Ardyn knew what to do as he lifted Esme's body, leaning her up against the chocobo.

“Good thinking.” he pat his loyal partner. The king looked down at her bloodied leg and lifted up the torn fabric of her pants, ripping it off. It had sealed up, but strangely. Maybe it had something to do with her being the Oracle; being able to heal on it's own. Placing his hand on his forehead he sighed, wondering when she'd awaken. The sun was still barely up so he took the time to go out and find wood to make a fire. Gathering up what he could salvage, he stacked the planks and sticks up with some leaves sprinkled around and cast a fire on it then sat across from his mount and the Oracle.

“Esme... I'm sorry. I shouldn't have brought you in there with us. Gil, myself and the others should have searched around before taking you along. I promised Amelie that I'd protect you, and not even a day later, you're injured.” he scoffed. “You're going to hate me even more once you wake up... and should you choose that you'd want to return home, I won't stop you.” her eyes were shut, but he was hopeful that she could still hear his voice in her state. Ardyn hung his head. “Well at least now you've seen a daemon, even if it happened to be two of the worst ones. What a mess.” he groaned then fell silent as the starry sky scattered above and the temperature started to fall. When a sound came from the young girl, he almost choked as his head shot up. She was shivering with her breath hitching. Immediately removing his long black coat, his highness got back onto his feet, resting the article of clothing over her body and even slightly tucked her in. He returned to his original spot, sitting criss-cross, back straight up.

“Es-”

“Ardyn...”

“Yes? Is there something you need?” She fell despondent again. “Esme?”

“Where are we?”

“We're still in Accordo. Things went amiss and I got careless. Gil and the others... we all got separated because I didn't think things through. I don't even know if they're alright.”

“They are.” His expression went confused at her confirmation.

“How do you know that?”

“I saw them. We're going to help save Eos together. All of us.” Ardyn rubbed his face with an exhale of relief, unsure if she was hallucinating in some way or perhaps knew exactly how things would play out in the coming future. She is the Oracle.

“Well then... I'm glad to hear it.” The fire crackled between the pair.

“Tell me a story, your highness. I'm sure you have a lot.” He smirked down at his lap, avoiding having to look at her, and as he began to speak, his sights looked out into the expanded darkness to the right.

“A story, huh? This isn't much of a story, but something I think is rather interesting is that back before Solheim fell to war, with all of the technology they were responsible for, my favorite has to be the automobile. They were the first to create and perfect them as best as they could. Unfortunately now, most of them, if not all, have been destroyed since Ifrit brought on the Scourge. They never managed to spread them out around across the world.” his stomach growled from lack of food.

“What are automobiles?” her voice spoke weakly and he frowned as her condition seemed to slowly worsen. But why?

“They are...” pausing, he thought about how to describe it. “Basically carriages that run all on their own; no chocobos attached.”

“You've seen one before?”

“Not a physical one, but I have received drawings and artworks from those who managed to escape the bloodshed, along with the plague at the heart of the Scourge. Hopefully some time soon, someone can crank them out once more.”

“I want to see them one day... Automobiles...” Finally looking over, the tips of the flames almost blocking his view of her, he could see that sweet smile she possessed. A smile that he could admit he began to enjoy witnessing.

“I'll show you the drawings one day soon. I have them all back in Insomnia, where I live in Lucis. I'll even show you around the city. I think you'd like it there.” There was no response from the girl this time. “I should've brought them along with me. I apologize.” Once more, he got back up, making his way around to the ill girl and kneeling at her side. Raising his hand up to her face, he ran it gently up her forehead, pushing her dampened hair away, looking down on the face she often kept hidden from him. What distracted him however was how hot she felt. Sweat dripped down and all. Ardyn quickly flung off his coat from her, discovering just how serious the situation at hand instantly became. The one key factor that explained her state was the wound on her leg. It was far from healing on it's own, the exact opposite actually. Black mist drifted out of the deep cut and the sight stole his breath as he jumped back, unable to comprehend.

It can't be...

Ardyn's hand covered his mouth as he stared directly at her leg.

“Esme, wake up. There's an extremely dangerous situation happening to you right now, and you're able to heal it on your own, but you need to open your eyes.” One hand went against her left cheek and the other took a firm hold on her shoulder, lightly shaking her, desperate to bring her back to her senses. “Esme, please! I'll never forgive myself if you turn into one of those things, I'm begging you!” But the Oracle remained asleep. The king however did know how to heal her in a sense and it seemed his last resort became his only resort. “Shouldn't the Gods be watching over you?” he muttered, wondering how they could let something like this happen.

Perhaps it was a test.

His chocobo shifted a bit and quietly let out little squeaks.

“Rest, my dear. You need it.” Whenever Ardyn committed this act, the bird would become uneasy, worrying for the state of her master, but his consoling tone was enough for her to lay her head upon the ground. Reaching down, his palm wrapped around her calve where the cut was made and slowly trailed up to her thigh, stopping at her stomach . With the other hand still at her cheek, he moved it over to her lips, managing to open her mouth. He leaned in close, watching her shut eyelids and traveled down to her lips, releasing a deep breath from his nose before opening his mouth only millimeters from hers. It was as if he sucked the virus straight out of her, but took it in for himself. Seconds later, his palm from her stomach raised off and he moved himself away, setting her head back down on the body of the chocobo. “You should be alright now...” he wiped off the sweat from around her face. Noises from the outside of the ward he set gurgled and echoed from whatever beings roamed about while Ardyn remained close at her side. “You know, it wouldn't be fair if you got a warm pillow all to yourself... so I think I'll sleep right here... right next to you.” he spoke barely above a whisper to the girl was still sleeping and reached over her side for his coat that he threw off minutes ago. Glancing back down at the gash that stretched across from her lower calve to her upper shin, the dark smoke ceased and let go of a sigh of relief—for now at least. The color changed to an irritated red like any normal laceration. Slowly laying back down, coat in hand, Ardyn opened it enough to cover both of them. “I hope you don't mind,” he spoke softly, settling on his side while his arm rested over the top of Esme's head. Her breathing was normal, he noted, having a full view of her face.

And that was how he fell asleep;

Looking down at her.

–

Esme let out a sharp gasp as she pushed her body up, face coated in dirt, and short breaths with coughs following.

Where was she?

It was dark and the mud beneath her made the air around cool. When she tried to push herself up, her head hit a rock ceiling and she exclaimed, her hand holding the back of her head. Looking to her right, there was dim lighting spilling through from above. The oracle dragged herself over then tilted her head up towards the source. It was a drop to where she was; an elevated tunnel with the light coming from the sun outside.

“Hello!” She listened to the sound of her voice echoing upwards but nothing else. “Hey!” Yelling once more, she waited for a response, but it remained a lonely echo. When she looked to her right however, a different kind of light could be seen; A neon sort of glow. So she lugged her body to the other side, slowly but surely, with the bottom of her body dirtying up. She came to the sight of something standing tall, but from where she faced it, she could only see the side of it. Being able to stand, Esme exited the burrow and looked at the glowing object. It lit up the cave that it sat in and when she circled around it, small crystals within it flared a bright blue but deeper in a luminescent violet. She looked around the rest of the blackened cave, littered with moss, in awe of the beauty from the large object before her, wondering if someone else could be lurking in the dark. But it was too still. She still wondered how she even managed to get to where ever she was.

Am I... dead?

Suddenly it was like a whispering chant came from the glowing rock causing Esme to near it. Although the closer she got, the further the voices grew. And the longer she looked into the magenta glow, the brighter it seemed to get. So bright that it completely blinded her for a moment. The oracle covered her eyes and rubbed them until the light became less alarming, but as she open them once more, she found herself wrapped up and on a rocky plateau. The sun gleamed not so bright for it was still early in the morning and the air had that familiar scent of a new dawn. She groaned and wiggled a bit, then suddenly realized the presence of person laying right next to her. It was Ardyn to her discovery, silently breathing with a calm face and strands of burgundy hair falling slightly over his face. He was so close that she froze up.

What the hell is going on? Was that a dream? Is this a dream?

Esme managed to slip out from under the blanket—no, his coat. Rolling away, her back bumped into the fluffy head of black chocobo, who was already awake. It murmured a squeek while watching her get onto her feet. “Good morning.” she greeted the animal silently, then noticed the dimly glowing blue lines in the ground that circled them. But what caught her attention even faster with a single glance was how her pants had been torn off on her lower leg. There was a lengthy cut, an irritated red color, that went around from behind stopping just below her knee. Oh, yea! Remembering the lanky daemon from Litus, everything came back to her. It cut her. She also realized that suddenly the party went from seven to two with the bird being a plus one. With a quick sneeze, Ardyn woke up, stretching against the feathery body he rested on and then immediately looked up at Esme who poked at her wound. “Esme!” He blurted out and she raised her attention to him. “Ardyn... morning...” the expression on his face made her mind turn into a blurry wonder of what events transpired while she fell unconscious. “Is this real?” “Yes?” He sat up straight, neither of the two breaking eye contact. “Why do you look so shocked to see me awake?” “I-I'm not. I just-” “What happened to Gil and the others?” “I'm not sure, we got separated. But I'm sure we'll meet up soon.” “Why were under your coat together?” “Well it was a rather cold night, and being the gentleman I am, I covered you with my coat and laid you against my sweet girl. But then, you see, I got a bit chilly myself, so I joined you. I deserve to be comfortable too, right?” “Yea...alright.” Looking away from Ardyn, her eyes lead back to her calve. “I didn't know you could stitch someone up.” “Well... it actually wasn't that bad of a wound... so it kind of closed on it's own.” There was a slight hesitation with his answer. For some reason he couldn't tell her what he did or even about the severity of of her condition only some hours ago. All he cared about was that she was alright and on her feet. “Good thing you can walk again, because I don't think myself or my dearest could handle carrying you around anymore.” he snickered, taking her mind off the subject as she shot straight up to her feet. “What?!” “I'm only kidding,” his hoarse morning voice remarked playfully as he got up and stretched again. “Honestly though, I am glad to see you're alright.” The smirk he sent her way caused her to smile. “Thanks to you.” It became something he wanted to protect immensely now. “Yea... you don't know the half of it.” his response was mumbled and his foot gave a small kick. Shoving his hands in his pockets he looked to the ground, his smirk turning to a smile, feeling like a fluttering little boy. “Well we should probably find Gil and the others, right?” “Yes,” his attention was stolen to the matter at hand. “You're going to have to ride with me though. Or you can walk if you prefer.” He winked. “That's fine with me.” “What? Walking?” “No, riding you.” Her words and actions with the king never seemed to come out the way she wanted. “Riding—” “With you. That's what I said. Riding with you.” “No, I think you said—” “I think I'm hungry too actually, we should go eat somewhere first since the food we got before is in the carriage.” Ardyn leered at Esme before continuing on with her new words. “You're right. I'm quite hungry myself. Let's go.”

The pair wandered for a little, maybe about thirty minutes as the chocobo strolled though the land. The area they were in seemed almost untouched by humans. Only animals and creatures alike migrated the surroundings. “How did you manage to get so lost?” The girl asked, her arms wrapped around his waist. “There was fog, a lot of it. I couldn't see a thing so I lead us in the wrong direction.” “Ah.” They bounced on atop of their ride before Ardyn spotted a small building not too far ahead. It was a small hut, with wooden tables and chairs outside. A sign just before it was hand painted reading, 'The Nest'. “Do you think they sell food here?” “Oh, I know for certain they do.” The tone in his voice seemed familiar with the establishment. “I'm pretty sure this is just an extended one from the original in Lestallum. The food's mediocre, but it's something.” “How's it going, travelers?” A woman stepped out with papers in hand and a smile. “That's quite the chocobo you got there... Say, do I know you from somewhere?” “Nope! We are just adventuring nomads, going where ever the wind blows us.” Ardyn stretched his arm towards the distance while Es looked at him with a raised eyebrow. What an actor... “So I see! Come to grab a bite? I'm sure the both of yous are about to start the day, bright and early!” “We are!” “Then come on down and take a seat!” They both hopped off, and sat at a table, the woman handing them each one of the papers that she held in her hands, a wide grin on her face the whole time. It was a menu, but there wasn't much to choose from.

Fries... Salmon... Soup & Bread... Spicy Skewers...

Nothing really caught either of their attentions, but they were hungry so it didn't matter much. “I'll have... fries I guess.” Esme looked up to the lady, handing back the paper. “The skewer's will be fine. Thank you.” He smiled handing his menu back. “Very well, it'll be out shortly.” As the server walked away and to the open window of the hut, she eyeballed Esme. “You think she knows who you are?” he watched Es with his cheek sitting in his palm and she only shrugged watching something in the distance. “Something on your mind?” To be honest, she thought about the dream she had before waking up, but decided to keep it to herself for the time being. “Just the fact that we didn't really get anywhere and I was almost killed.” The two scoffed and fell into an awkward silence. “Ardyn, can I ask how old you are?” “Sure.” She awaited his answer, but he continued to stare at her. “Okay?” “Go ahead, ask.” “How old are you??” “Guess.” “How old are you?” she grunted as she asked a third time. “You're no fun,” letting out a sigh he finally answered, “twenty-seven. Yourself?” She delayed her answer. “Guess.” “What? I have to guess, but you couldn't? How's that for fair?” He laughed and watched her face practically twinkle. “I'd say... twenty-three?” “No... twenty-three...” Esme rubbed her arm, looking to her side. “You're young!” “I'm surprised you didn't already know.” “The only thing the world knows about it's first and long-awaited Oracle is that your residence is in Altissia and that your name is Esme. Nothing personal. Consider yourself lucky.” The woman came walking back, two plates being held up in her hands and set them down respectively. “Would either of you fancy some water? Or a tea maybe?” “Water.” They both answered her simultaneously. “Gotcha!” heading back to the open window, she made up two water cups and brought them back to the table. “Is there anything else I can do or get yous guys?” “Yes actually, can you point us in the direction of Litus?” “Litus? I'm pretty sure you have to head east from here. My friend Leo has a small shop just before it, so if you see him, stop and ask just in case, so you don't get lost. But then again, I'd steer clear of Litus. Heard they got overrun with the Scourge and now daemon's are just popping out from the folks whos used to live there. Just a heads up.” “Alright, thank you for the warning.” Ardyn gave a single nod at the lady with a smile. “No problem at all!” She left the Oracle and the King alone again to finally eat and only minutes later, all the food had been devoured. “I feel much better now!” Esme's arms reached up to the sky and Ardyn sat back in his seat. “So if we just head back towards Litus, you think we'll run into Gil and the others?” “That, or maybe someone can tell us something. They might have traveled back to the shop after they got out.” “I wonder if the shop she's talking about is the same one we went to.” “Could be.” They rested comfortably for a moment until the king spoke quietly, but sternly. “Esme... I don't have any money for this. Everything I have was left in the carriage.” “What? So what are we supposed to do?” “I don't know! I've never been in this situation before!” “Ardyn!” They yelled in a whispered tone and it caught the attention of the waitress who headed back over. “Everything alright?” “Yes,” She gleamed at the worker who stared at her again curiously. “I'm sorry, I just.. have to ask. Are you the Oracle?” This was an opportunity that needed to be grasped smartly. “What gives it away?” “I mean I've only heard about how you look. Young, black hair, dark eyes; and it's also interesting that you're looking for Litus. Everyone's talking about how the Oracle is traveling all throughout Accordo, helpin and healin, gettin excited to meet you. They say to be in your presence is to be automatically blessed by the heavens and to have the might of the seven look over you.” “Well it's m-e.” The tone in her voice was sheepish now and her body leaned strangely over. The king squinted her movements. “I'm so honored to have you here, my lady!” The waitress fell to her knees, humbled. “Wait, no, you don't have to do that, please! Stand up!” “Did I offend you?” The woman raised her hand over her chest, her expression worrisome. “No, I-I just- I'm- I don't need....” the reactions she was starting to get from others who meet her were unexpected, causing her to stutter. “She's very moved, but there's no need to be so formal, is what she's trying to say.” “Oh, well then...” “Forgive me, I'm her adviser—Liam.” Esme scrunched her face. The name was weird on him. Of all the ones he could have said, and he went with Liam. He held his hand out and the lady took it, blushing a light pink as she looked into his golden eyes. “You're tab is on me!” She looked at both of them nervously and let go of Ardyn's hand, stepping back and bowing. “Thank you, that's very kind. Might I get your name by chance?” “Cassia.” “Thank you, Cassia.” her head shot up as the sound of her name slipped out from his velvet voice. Esme watched the serving girl get flustered and sprint away. “Shall we?” Ardyn stood up, walked two steps over to Esme's seat and held his hand out. “Madam Oracle.” He waited in hope for her to take his hand. “Who are you again?” She questioned silently. “Liam, the adviser.” A chortle escaped her as the sun shone brightly behind him. “I think I hate that name.” The oracle gave her hand to the king, who smirked, and she pushed her chair back, standing up, his hand pulling hers gently. Leading her to the grand chocobo, she knelt down for both get up on. “Safe travels, Oracle and adviser Liam! Please visit us again soon!” “We will! Goodbye and thank you!” Esme called out and waved to the woman and the the probable chef, also waving, who came outside to witness them taking their leave. Now time to head back east.

[harunayuuka2060]

Theo: *sobbing while hugging MC* MC... Father really misses you... Can we not really fix things between us?

The brothers and the angels: *watching them*

MC: Was you threatening my future baby's life a trap so you could get to talk to me?

Theo: You wouldn't agree to see me if I didn't do that...

Lucifer: For some reason... I'm enjoying this. *has a lot of hatred to their father*

Luke: *tugs Simeon's sleeve* Won't Onee-san kick father to the nearest mountain?

Simeon: Um... She's trying to hold herself back because her husband is watching.

Diavolo: *worried and agitated at the same time* What should I do, Barbatos? What if he kidnaps my wife?

Barbatos: My lord, you need to calm down. It won't happen.

MC: *pushing her father off* Go back to where you belong. *turns her back at him*

Theo: But MC... Was there a single time you ever thought about me?

Mammon: Do you want some popcorn, everyone?

Eo: I'll have some.

Mammon: Here ya' go.

MC: ...

MC: *yells at everyone* CAN YOU NOT EAT SOMEWHERE ELSE?! YOU SEE WE'RE TALKING HERE!

Diavolo: *puppy eyes* Wife...

MC: Except you, stay.

Theo: ...

Theo: Why did you marry a man?

MC: *glares at him* Do you have a problem with that?

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

Asmo: Aww... We got kicked out by sister.

Satan: Lucifer, are you okay?

Lucifer: Tch. I was enjoying seeing that man suffer.

Levi: Maybe we can ask Barbatos to record it-

*a loud explosion was heard*

The brothers: ...

Belphie: Was that sister?

Mammon: What?

Belphie: I've heard her screamed angrily before the explosion.

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

MC: I think you're forgetting...

MC: THAT I NEVER TOLERATE INSULTS AGAINST MY FAMILY!!!

*proceeds to slam her father to the ground*

Diavolo: *feels touched because his wife is defending him*

Barbatos: I haven't expected that the Celestial Realm King would be this soft towards his first daughter.

Barbatos: However, they're going to destroy this realm if we don't stop them.

Barbatos: *yells* YOUR MAJESTY!

MC: WHAT?! DON'T YOU SEE I'M IN THE MIDDLE OF SOMETHING?!

Theo: *completely letting his daughter take out her anger on him*

Barbatos: MY LORD IS HAVING MUSCLE CRAMPS!

Diavolo: *turns to look at him* Why did you say that?

MC: *stops* *throws Theo hard to the ground and immediately goes to Diavolo*

MC: Let's go home. *carries him up*

Theo: *watching her daughter gets worried over someone* *remembered how she was to him before* ...

Barbatos: Celestial king, *bows* I'm sorry for your loss.

[harunayuuka2060]

Barbatos: The preparation is complete.

MC: Are you sure?

Barbatos: Yes, Your Majesty.

Diavolo: Wife? What preparation he's talking about?

MC: Barbatos.

Barbatos: A soundproofed room with a bathroom inside, a sturdy bed, a whole month food supply, and painkillers.

Dia: Is it for a calamity?

Barbatos: *smiles*

Barbatos: No, my lord.

MC: I think you have forgotten. You're going to give birth to a bouncy baby girl.

Diavolo: Yes?

Barbatos: My lord... I didn't say that it's going to be easy.

Diavolo: Wait.

MC: *walks up to him and picks him up by the back of his collar* Barbatos, I trust that you will watch over my brothers in our absence.

Barbatos: Yes, Your Majesty.

Diavolo: W-Wife?

MC: *carries him up in a bridal-style* I am going to pound every seed I have in you. You might even give birth to a lot of babies.

Diavolo: *his voice becomes small* Wife?

Barbatos: Good luck in your one-month journey, my lord. I am wishing for your safety.

Diavolo: *horrified expression*

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

Lucifer: Eo, this is your Devildom bank account. Your monthly and yearly allowance are in there.

Eo: Eh? But why?

Lucifer: What do you mean 'why'? All of us have our own money here. You can't just possibly go anywhere without that.

Eo: Th-That's awesome...

Levi: Hey, Eo! Wanna go to the arcade?

Mammon: Hey! I want to go too!

Belphie: I'm joining you as well.

Asmo: Lucifer, do you think Sister's D.D.D is with her?

Lucifer: Don't call her while she's in the middle of something.

Asmo: But I'm just curious on how Lord Diavolo is going?

Beel: I won't be surprised if he goes out on a wheelchair.

Satan: I don't think Sister would be that hard on him?

Levi: Let's try calling Sister and pretend Eo misses her.

Eo: Wha— Don't!

Levi: The phone is already ringing! Haha!

Eo: !!!

Levi: Sister-! I'm calling because Eo—

*sounds of Diavolo moaning*

MC: What about Eo?

Levi: Um... Well, he just want to say that he's missing you. When will you be coming back?

MC: After a month.

Levi: Okay! Sorry for the interruption, sister! *ends the call*

Lucifer: Are you alright, Levi? Why are you pale?

Levi: I-I th-think Lord Diavolo is getting railed so hard...

The brothers: ...

Beel: I'm taking back what I said. Lord Diavolo is surely will end up bedridden for months.

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

Diavolo and MC: *takes a five-minute break*

Diavolo: Wife...

MC: What?

Diavolo: I'm about to reach my limit...

MC: That's why we're taking a break.

Diavolo: ...

Diavolo: *chuckles* You have a monstrous stamina, wife.

MC: *grabs his legs and pulls him forward*

Diavolo: W-Wife?

MC: Let's resume.

Diavolo: But wife— *arcs his back when MC inserted it in his hole*

Diavolo: W-Wife...

MC: *smirks* Your body is relaxing compared when we started a few hours ago.

Diavolo: Wife... Can we at least take it slow?

MC: *pulls him to sit up on her lap*

Diavolo: *groans* I-It's deep...

MC: Start moving your hips if you don't want me to make things harder for you.

Diavolo: Wife... You're so cruel...

[harunayuuka2060]

Lilith: *hugging her sister* Please be safe, sister.

MC: Don't worry about me. I'll make sure to bring you that medicine. You don't have to do anything, Lilith. Sister will take care of it.

Lilith: *smiles sadly* Yes.

MC: *touches her cheek and kisses her on her forehead* I'll be back.

Lilith: *nods*

*watches as her sister leaves Celestial Realm*

Lilith: *tears started to roll down her cheeks* I'm sorry, sister... But it has to be done.

*when the rebellion started*

Theo: Lilith, you have disappointed me.

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

MC: !!!

The fairies: MC? Is there something wrong?

MC: N-No... I just felt nervous all of a sudden.

The fairies: You don't have to be nervous, MC! These plants can heal any type of illness.

MC: Right. Thank you. *smiles at them*

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

MC: Eo.

Eo: *found himself in Lilith's room inside the House of Lamentation* Sister...?

MC: *her voice starts to quiver* It's you...

Eo/Lilith: Sister... I have finally... come to you.

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

Mammon: How did Sister find out that Eo was Lilith?

Belphie: Right. He doesn't look like her.

Lucifer: Our little sister has suffered multiple reincarnations. And each time, she has been trying to find a way to look for us.

Levi: How long are they going to stay inside that room? We need to celebrate!

Satan: This is the first time hearing that from you, Levi.

Asmo: Should we present some guys and gals to Eo?

Beel: No. Sister will surely get mad if you do that.

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

Eo: *has retained all of Lilith's memories*I want to apologize for not listening to sister before.

MC: *kissed the top of his head* No. I was the one who shouldn't have left your side. Maybe if I was there, you and our brothers had successfully taken over the Celestial Realm.

Eo: *laughs* But sister... I'm not sure if you could go against father.

MC: Aren't you underestimating your eldest sister?

Eo: No... I have always admired you, sister. Even now.

MC: *smiles*

Eo: By the way, are you sure you can stay in a marriage with Lord Diavolo?

MC: Why? Don't you want to? I can definitely end my marriage with him if you would ask.

Eo: Ack! No-no! I'm only curious! Besides, he's going to cry for sure if you leave him!

MC: Just look forward to your future niece.

[harunayuuka2060]

Asmo: Wow, Lord Diavolo! You look... Fine!

Beel: Yeah. You're standing.

Diavolo: *chuckles* Wife decided to stop after the third day when she saw that my body couldn't take another...*clears throat* So she just babied me on the remaining 27 days. *beams*

Belphie: Sister? Babying you? Isn't that a hard pill to swallow?

Mammon: Are you sure your brain is still intact, Lord Diavolo?

Diavolo: Do I look like I've lost my mind, Mammon?

Mammon: ...

Mammon: Yeah.

Lucifer: Stop it. Don't start a fight. Anyway, where is my sister?

Diavolo: Ah, she's with Eo and Barbatos. She had to check again if it would be safe for me to give birth in the future.

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

Barbatos: As you can see here, Your Majesty. The magic will help him to take out the baby, so you needn't to worry about him experiencing immense pain.

MC: *sigh* I see. Alright. I'll be looking forward to my daughter that's going to be his womb.

Eo: Sister? Have you thought of a name?

MC: Not yet.

Eo: Hmm...*smiles* No. I think you've already decided for her name.

MC: Keep your mouth shut, Eo. And you too, Barbatos. I don't want that idiot to get excited.

Barbatos: Since too much emotion is bad for the bearer. *chuckles*

Eo: Barbatos... You're making sister mad on purpose...

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

Luke: *choosing a suitable gift for a baby girl* What do you think about these shoes, Simeon?

Simeon: We don't know the baby's shoe size yet, but it would be a good idea to buy some.

Luke: Hm! Okay!

Simeon: *smiles*

Michael: Um, Simeon? Can we talk for a second?

Simeon: Is there something wrong, Michael?

Michael: *sigh* Luke, I will borrow Simeon for a moment. Please continue to choose the gifts that you want and I'll pay for it.

Luke: Really?! Thank you, Michael!

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

Simeon: So, what is it that you want to talk about?

Michael: I will go straight to the point. Father wants his first daughter to return. And in doing so, her future baby has to die.

Simeon: What?!

Michael: That's something they've had decided in the Inner Celestial Council. They see the child as a threat.

Simeon: But Michael... Sister has already cut her ties on father—

Michael: Father doesn't feel the same, Simeon. For him, MC is still his daughter.

Simeon: Then why does he want to kill his future granddaughter?!

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

Diavolo: Wife? Don't you want to lie with me in our bed?

MC: No. You're pregnant and you should keep all the spaces by yourself.

Diavolo: But wife... I don't have a baby bump yet.

MC: ...

Diavolo: ...

Diavolo: Please, wife... I want you to cuddle me.

MC: *clicks her tongue and gets up and moves to his side* There, are you satisfied?

Diavolo: *smiles* Thank you, wife. Even though sometimes, it seems that I'm forcing you.

MC: *scoffs* As if you could force me to begin with. I'm only being considerate because of your condition.

Diavolo: Wife... *buries his head on her chest*

MC: I want you to be comfortable on the best possible way I could.

[harunayuuka2060]

MC: You mean to say...

MC: That you caused trouble in the human world...

MC: Because you got homesick?

Levi, Asmo, and Satan: ...

MC: *touches her forehead* What are you? Still kids?

Asmo: *pouting* It wasn't the same when you were not there, sister...

Levi: *fidgets* No one to check on me if I went to sleep or not...

MC: How about you, Satan? What happened?

Satan: There's no sister in the human world...

Mammon: Ha! Babies!

*the three glares at him*

MC: I should've sent Mammon and Lucifer instead.

Lucifer and Mammon: !!!

Mammon: Hell nah! There's no way you're sending me there!

Lucifer: I, as well. I need to be here to assist you with lots of things, sister.

Beel: Just admit that none of us can't live without sister.

Belphie: Beel, that's too hard to chew. Please don't.

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

Eo: *is studying when he hears someone knocking*

MC: Eo, it's me.

Eo: *quickly puts his things away and opens the door* Sister?

MC: Are you busy?

Eo: *shakes his head* Come inside, sister.

MC: *walks in* Did you burn some incense?

Eo: Yes. I just need something to help me sleep.

MC: Why? Is the room uncomfortable?

Eo: *waves his hands defensively* No-! Everything is great!

MC: *frowns* You're not good at lying, Eo.

Eo: ...

Eo: *smiles in defeat* I... have this problem whenever I tried to sleep, sister.

MC: I'm listening.

Eo: I think I can dream about my previous life... But I don't understand any of it. The dream is too vague.

MC: ...

MC: Eo, how about I stay with you until you fall asleep? Will that work?

Eo: !!!

Eo: *nods* I apologize for the inconvenience, sister.

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

MC: *runs her fingers through his hair while singing a lullaby*

Eo: Sister... Have you always been...singing that lullaby?

MC: Yes.

Eo: *his eyes closing in* Your voice... still calms me down, sister...

MC: !!!

Lilith: Your voice calms me down, sister!

MC: ...

MC: Ha... Maybe I'm just tired... It can't possibly be.
