For what it's worth; I will stand by you

The world can burn and crash, but not my love

Summer may end, you'd still belong to me

With care, I will take you

Do you have any Rize headcanons? :>

certainly i do!!

• she has nightmares about the washuus finding her, even to this day. back when she was young and living with shachi, she would frequently awake screaming from these nightmares. she'd shake and sob, and shachi would hold onto her until she cried herself into an exhaustive state and fell back asleep. i think he would frequently have to sit with her as a child as she fell asleep, holding her hand, just to assure her everything was okay. the nightmares have become less like night terrors but they still have her waking up drenched in sweat.

• she loves scented candles, and prefers to light those instead of having the lights in her apartment on. rize only gets floral scents, of course. any food scented ones would be entirely too nauseating. her favorite scent is jasmine. she wears a specific jasmine perfume everyday too. she's been using the same kind for years now, jasmine is her signature scent.

• i see rize as a cis woman, who typically uses she/her pronouns but wouldn't be offended by any usage of they/them. she's also a femme lesbian to me. it's never been any question to her that she was a lesbian, i think that she's literally never felt any semblance of true attraction to men. she loves leading them on to psychologically hurt them though, when she's not doing so to kill and eat them. it's like a game for her- how pathetic she can make a man act to try and impress her, knowing she'll never ever reciprocate.

• i've had this headcanon for a long time, but i really don't think she kills women. now, she's no human sympathizer, but there's something about killing or hurting women that just is distasteful to her. rize would NEVER admit to this but i think that she avoids killing women because she understands what it's like to be a woman who is being hunted, and it's just not something she'd be willing to inflict on another woman, human or ghoul. though, i think she has fought with fellow ghoul women before, as she knows they're more durable, but she's never killed them.

• there was a period of her life in which she kept her fingernails very long and very sharp. this was because she found it pleasurable to reach out and suddenly slash men's throats when they least expected it. i think that she ditched this style of nail though because she got tired of having to clean out the dried up blood underneath them! rize misses them at times but wouldn't ever try to get them back.

• she is a very popular book reviewer online! i think she has this whole anonymous blog dedicated to it lol. it's grown quite a fanbase over the course of a few years. everyone eagerly awaits her next review, and gives her suggestions for new books to read and review too. it's something that keeps her sane. she does Q&As on her blog too! her fans are always more than happy to participate.

• rize has a very well-loved stuffed rabbit that shachi gave to her as a girl. she's had to replace the bow around its neck since she got it, but it's still in good shape. it sits on a special shelf in her bedroom, along with a semi-weathered picture of her and shachi and a dried rose. the rabbit is white and named yuki. the ribbon around its neck is baby pink with white lace on the ends.

• rize a very good dancer in my eyes. it's like she has a really natural sense of rhythm. her moves are so lithe. her hips sway smoothly, as smooth as water in a stream. it's utterly entrancing to watch her dance, i believe. she's just so good at it. mayu in particular could watch her for hours.

• it is a rare occasion in which you will see rize in pants. the flowiness of a skirt or a dress is just what makes her most comfortable. i don't even think she really owns pants, minus a pair of sweatpants or two. you'll only see her in these sweatpants if she's feeling under the weather and having a sick day at home. otherwise, to lounge around, she prefers to wear a silk nightgown or a big t-shirt and a pair of panties.

• she's very crafty with the ways in which she styles her hair sometimes. i think she taught herself all sorts of braiding techniques, and she loves to do her hair in different updos and braids. most of the time it's just down, but she likes to spice it up with an updo/braid at times! at least three or four times a month.

hope these will suffice <3 i love my girl rize so much

Music Champ Special Broadcast Highlights

Hikaru reflected on her Birthday Live, shared some impressions and pictures of her outfits (Instagram post). On a side note, a few days ago she shared the setlist for the concert. Pretty neat. I would have LOVED to hear "Determination" live T_T

During the Song Corner of her broadcast, Hikaru sang "Awe", one of her brand new songs. Very dramatic, definitely my type of song, I really enjoyed it (even if she struggled with a few of the higher notes). If she refines her singing a bit for the recorded version, this might actually become my favourite solo track among her latest releases as freelancer. If everything goes according to plan, Hikaru will release the digital single on August 20.

Man perhaps unpopular opinion but I rewatched the Last Waltz extra chap last night and tbh… I think it cheapens Morishige’s death in Blood Covered, a lot (and by extension the emotional impact of Mayu’s death too).

Like even after years, that scene in the original makes my blood run cold. It’s so well acted and it manages to be more shocking than most of the other deaths in the game despite being the least gory and happening off screen. It’s extremely lonely and sad, too.

His death there being retconned just so he can be another Kizami victim kinda sucks… I was watching a mutual stream it and they also pointed out that it’s kind of kills the vibe to have Mayu seemingly fully conscious and aware too. Since in the og it felt more like a haunting than her actually being there, like the result of really intense emotional “residue.” Whereas her disembodied voice just shouting into the void while Kizami and Morishige have an edgy conversation felt almost comical to me.

Also they wanted so badly to incorporate more of the Morishige theater kid thing, but his original death already WAS a Romeo and Juliet double-tragedy thing, two teenagers with unfulfilled love dying in terrible ways. Which is a much more subtle and interesting way to connect it to the theater theme than having him somehow find a stage (which wasn’t even in Heavenly Host until 2U) and give a literal soliloquy.

Idk I just really don’t like Blood Drive’s retconning of impactful parts of the story. I don’t like what it did to the integrity of the original. By all means Blood Covered could’ve been a standalone game and it would’ve been stronger for it.

KAIRI Press Conference

The press conference occurred hours before the eventual YouTube upload as it was never meant to be streamed live.

KAIRI began by her press conference by expressing gratitude for the acceptance of Stardom.

“I wanted to meet everyone. The number of wrestlers that I could face was limited, but I was able to talk to many of them, and I was struck by the fact that each wrestler was really facing pro wrestling.

I think that I'm the biggest fan of all the fighters. The best highlights for me are 2022, the end of the year, the white belt, the wonder. The next day, I was able to fight Mayu Iwatani for the IWGP Women's championship, and become the 1st champion. That moment was really dreamy, and it's been dreamy since I was struggling with Stardom back in the day.

Thinking that this belt might would be my last mission, I raised the value of this belt, and if I lost, I was prepared to announce my retirement on the spot. Unfortunately, contrary to my expectations, I was only able to defend once, but even so, I played the main role with Mayu, defended at the Tokyo Dome, and fought Mercedes Mone in the United States. It was a rich time, an irreplaceable moment.

Because I challenged myself with determination, I felt a sense of loss, and I couldn't quite organize my mind. At that time, I received offers from various domestic organizations, offers from overseas, and many countries. At one point, I had decided that I wanted to retire, but it made me happy to know that there are people like me somewhere in the world who want to see my matches.

I made a decision. I can't say it clearly, but in preparation for a new voyage, a voyage of determination, I would like to suspend my activities for wrestling matches indefinitely at the end of September 2023. Please be assured that this is a positive decision. 

Lastly, I would like to express my gratitude to President Ogawa, who never abandoned me and raised me, even though I was told that I had no talent. I would like to express my gratitude to all the fans who have supported me.”

The remaining schedule for the time being…

9/2 Sendai Girls 9/8 All Japan Pro-Wrestling Osaka event Tokyo event

Q: What made you make this decision?

When I received several offers from overseas, I felt like the gods of professional wrestling told me to keep going. After that, I was talking to my husband because it's important, and retirement is important, but he said, "You can't do it yet, don't regret it."

I have received offers from people who have taken care of me. I have received offers from others than the ones that I have mentioned earlier. There are still matches to fight, and I would be happy if you could come and see them.

Q: When is the last match?

I think it's really going to be at the last minute towards the end of September. In the end, I'd be happy if I could get into the Stardom ring, but I'm not in the 5-Star GP, so I want to fight someone who grew up in Stardom.

Q: What about the overseas reports?

I can't say specifically, but if I'm going to do it, I want to have a career that no one has ever done before. I'm already 34 years old, so I don't think I can do it for many more years. I want to walk a path that no one thought of before.

Q: What do you have to say about Io Shirai's big win?

We have overcome difficult times together in both Japan and the United States, so it is truly amazing that Io-san has been crowned with the highest peak belt. When I was in the United States, I was unable to practice due to the coronavirus pandemic. I respect Io-san from the bottom of my heart.

Q: Did you consult with anyone other than your family?

Stardom was often a listening ear. Mr. Ogawa pushed for me to do what was best. I want to do my best in the end.

Q: With the remaining two months, losing the IWGP Girls was the big trigger, but how do you feel about trying for it again?

At the time of the tournament, I was enthusiastic about another chance, so when I couldn't achieve it, I felt conscious and that I was immature.

Q: I think there are a lot of lonely fans and wrestlers. Is there a dream card match?

I think there is.

Q: When do you have a chance to meet your fans?

I will be suspend at the end of September, but I will continue to update SNS and blogs.

Q: Can we meet you if we go to the gym?

Thanks to you, we had many local people visit us over the last year, and we were able to hire employees. There are parts where I leave it to them, but when I put the time in, there are quite a few times that we can meet.

Q: When can we see the next brave version of you?

I wish I could show you as soon as possible. I hope to train even more, and show my strong side.

The Most Perverse Creature in the World, Chapter 13

[Read on AO3]

Written for @bubblesthemonsterartist, who one first place in the 500 Follower raffle MANY years ago, and enjoys using her golden tickets to torture me. SHE STILL HAS THREE MORE AFTER THIS

Mayu might well be a bird for how much she flits about your chambers, fussing at the tattered corners of your patience. The kind that flies in through an open window and then struggles to find its way back out.

“I did not expect you back so soon, my lady.” There’s so much clanking and clinking and clucking over at the sideboard that you despair of getting any actual refreshment. “When you’re in session, most times you don’t come back ‘till after dark!”

A lady does not glower, but so many months hidden behind lace has made your careful curation of expression lax. Your mouth thins before you catch yourself-- or rather, a glimpse of your veil, crumpled at the corner of the desk-- smoothing it to a neutral smile. “I am afraid there was not much to say today.”

Nothing for the ears of a young woman such as your maid, at least. Quite a lot had been said, at length, and you--

“There.” Steam curls up from the cup settled before you, sitting just askew on its saucer. “Are you satisfied then, my lady?”

“Satisfied?” The word claws its way out, but you hardly mark the pain. “Surrounded by a council full incompetents, all of them bent on taking their pleasure and leaving me with--”

No words fit for company, at least. Perhaps if you too had been born to your seat with a half dozen forefathers left to warm it, their generous bottoms wearing down the unforgiving wood until it cradled yours as comfortably as a womb, you might plow ahead, unheeding of propriety or good sense. But instead your teeth snap around the sentiment, leaving it to be swallowed down with your other indignities. And oh, what a feast these men have made for you this evening.

“Ah, I only meant...?” Her eyelashes flutter, hands uncertain where they hang above the desk. “The tea...?”

“Oh, Mayu!” Ill-temper streams from you like steam from a kettle, the heat of it lost in one great sigh. “My apologies. I’m afraid I’m not good company tonight.”

“Nothing to be sorry for, ma’am,” she says, firm. “If my service isn’t pleasing, then it’s only right you be cross--”

“I’m hardly cross with you, my dear.” Her hands are cold between your palms, trembling and small. “I’m cross with...a great number of people tonight, but I promise none of them are in this room.”

“Oh,” the wind hums through the windows. “That so?”

It is only reflex that saves your tea, honed from a dozen summers of rescuing tablecloths from the sort of shenanigans only a growing boy could conjure. By the cat’s grin stretched across your sill-- and the endless expanse of legs that accompany it-- he expected no less. “That’s a relief.”

“You.” You set the cup clattering against the saucer, sweeping skirts up to standing. With one finger brandished in his direction, Obi flinches. “Has no one ever made you wear a bell?”

His palms fly up, the face framed between them the very picture of innocence. “It’s been discussed. Hey, didn’t you say you weren’t mad at anyone--?”

“That’s before I knew you were here.” Your hand drops, disappearing into the folds of your skirt, and he relaxes. “Though, to be quite honest, it’s not you I have quarrel with.”

“Oh?” A corner of his mouth curls into a smirk. “Who could it be? Maybe mister--?”

A huff escapes you, hands hooking around your hips. “As if Sir Mitsuhide were anything but a pleasure.”

That only makes his satisfaction all the slyer. “That’s certainly the opinion of quite a few professionals...”

To respond, even to admonish, would only serve to encourage him. “If you must know, it is your master who plays at my last nerve.”

“Ah, Master...” One of those long arms reaches behind his head, scrubbing at the bristle. “C’mon, my lady, you aren’t still sour about that business this morning, are you?”

I don’t make the rules. The boy’s scowl stretches across your memory, his hands useless where they lay on his desk. I merely uphold them.

“No.” The denial sounds like an affirmation from your lips, but there is no point in retraction. “If I am so sour, it is because despite his claims of being my ally, week after week I am left to defend myself against those dogs alone.”

“Ah.” Your shadow grimaces. “I take it that the meeting didn’t go well?”

There is a torrent of words that rushes to your mouth, a deluge of indignities that you could lay at His Highness’s feet. Whatever else one might say about His Highness-- and oh, you have quite a bit waiting to drip from the tip of your tongue, the sort of things that would make your governess clap her hands around your ears and hers in equal measure-- you can at least say this: he keeps his promise. To disappoint you, at least. “It would be a kindness to call it a disaster.”

Obi snorts. “That good, huh?”

“It has been made clear to me that since I consort with courtesans and whores--” your nails dig sharp crescents into your palm, and oh, how you wish it were not impolite to make them bleed-- “that my words are little better than their own. Lord Hiroki called for a vote upon a minor issue, one of his pet amendments, and I...”

I merely said nay. The fear grips you even now, safe in your chambers. I said nay, and they all fell upon me like hounds on a vixen.

Anger opens your mouth, but shame shapes the words into, “It did not go well.”

“Ah.” Obi’s long fingers casually curl, cracking as they dig into the meat of his shoulder. “I see.”

“I could canvas every brothel in Wistal, I could write a painstaking proposal for tax law that addressed every issue inherent in our current policy, but none of it matters if I do not have allies. Strong allies,” you press, pacing across the room. “Ones who bother to come to council meetings.”

Weariness washes over you, your head falling heavily into your hands. “I cannot do this alone. I must make a show of friends in high places, and fast. Even if there were a single man who agreed with me in that room, he would not risk speaking out against the rest. Why, I had to wait for Arluleon bother to speak for me, and even so it was only to say--”

Might I remind you that the lady here is of gentle birth?  His pompous tone echoes enough to make your ears ache even now, hours later. It is unbecoming to speak before her in such a fashion.

Your teeth grit, his words like sand between them, wearing your control down to nubs. “Well, it was not to remind them that I was a colleague deserving of respect.”

Obi is a boy of quick reflexes and even quicker wit, but when you pivot on your heel, prepared to pace across the pile you’ve already worn a runnel in, he’s quiet. Thoughtful, if you had to put a word to it. “Ah, lady, I was wondering...he’s met you before, hasn’t he? Before you came here.”

You work your way back through his question, trying to find what possible subject he could saddle that pronoun with, and finally ask, “Who?”

“His Grace, the Marquis.” He stares at you as if you are the incomprehensible one. “Haruka.”

“Arluleon?” Your husband had never sent for you while the council was in session-- nothing is more boring for a woman than to be married during the Season, he laughed the first time you asked, still too young to wonder, give it a decade or two, and then you can bring our daughters-- but he’d had visitors in the country. Friends though, not rivals, spending the long summers planning their coups for the next year. “He came to the funeral--”

“No, no. I mean before the whole--” his hand grimly sweeps in front of his face-- “business.”

You blink, lost. “Why do you ask?”

“Er...no reason. I just was thinking, seeing you two on the stair, that maybe...” It is impossible to discern which of his whims made him sail down this particular route of inquiry, but whatever it is, he changes tack. “Just curiosity, my lady.”

It’s a curious question indeed, but your suppose it’s harmless to entertain it. “Once, I believe. He attended the wedding. But that must have been...fifteen years past now, and clearly of no consequence to him.”

Obi hums, far too interested in such a dull matter. “What makes you say that, my lady?”

“He met me at the castle gates the day I arrived in Wistal, and if he recognized my name more than my title, it would be a great surprise to me,” you sniff. “He had been much more concerned about whether I would properly submit to protocol, should he only apply the right pressure. I doubt he even recalls whether the bride he met all those years ago was a girl in the flush of her first season, or a spinster being rescued from the shelf, let alone any detail of my face.”

Despite his love for the sport, your father had never allowed you on his hunts, not even when other ladies arrived trim and stylish in their habits, riding beside their husbands. It had not been until you had been a woman grown, married a year and some and eager to show your husband just what fun you could be, that you saw your first fox caught, ruthlessly cornered by the same hounds you fend scraps from the table. An unearthly sound tore from its throat as the teeth clamped clamped down, strangled and hopeless--

And mirrored now by your shadow, a hand pressed over his eyes.

“Are you quite all right?” It’s impossible that he could have hurt himself, not when he hasn’t moved from your sill, but still, you squint at him, attempting to assess the damage. “Is something the matter?”

“No, no,” he groans, hand flapping between you. “It’s nothing. I just...put something together. That I can’t really unknow.” A laugh gasps out of him, more pain than amusement. “Well, that will be interesting.”

You stare at him, brows knitted. “Why would you want to--?”

The doors to your study swing open, Mayu breathless between them. “Ah, my lady!”

Curious. You could have sworn she’d been over at the sideboard, fussing with yet another cup of tea. Perhaps she’ll make an admirable domestic after all. “Mayu, what are you--?”

“You have a visitor!” she gasps, color high on her cheeks. “At the door.”

“The door?” Your fingers idly pluck at where your veil lays crumpled, tossed aside in your fit of pique. There are few at court who you would name friend enough to visit, and fewer still who would call upon a widow still deep in mourning. “Will wonders never cease. Did they leave a card?”

“N-no.” Her eyes widen, guilty, and ah, the poor thing never thought to ask. “He’s, ah, waiting, my lady. In the parlor.”

“He?” Obi’s mouth curls with a slyness you’re quite sure you mislike. “Sounds like you’ve got some tenacious suitor, my lady.”

“What it sounds like is that some Wisteria has seen fit to take root on my settee,” you murmur, pinning your veil in place. “You wouldn’t happen to know anything about that would you?”

“Me?” One hand presses to his chest, every inch of his raised brows professing his innocence. “Do I look like the sort of messenger that would spring a prince on you--?”

“Almost certainly,” you inform him. “And you’d stick around to watch.”

“You wound me, my lady, I would--”

“It’s not His Highness,” Mayu blurts out. “Either of them.”

“No?” It is a short list of men at court who would think to darken a window’s doorway, and to walk into your parlor, sure of their welcome-- or perhaps, uncaring of it--?

Your hands stiffen on the final pin, shoving it in clumsily enough the point drags over your scalp. “You don’t mean to tell me that Arluleon--?”

“No ma’am,” she pipes, her mouth twitching toward something close to a smile. “The opposite!”

Mayu’s assessment had not quite been...politique, but even you must admit that when your eyes fall upon the young man lounging in your parlor, cleaned and pressed and grin running parallel to the scar carved across his nose, the girl is not precisely wrong.

“Sir Zakura.” You incline your head the barest degree, enough imply regard without suggesting deference. Peer he might be, but baron hardly outranked a sitting countess. “Are you on your way to dinner?”

“Countess.” His mouth spreads wide on the title, a detail you hardly miss as he bows just a hair too deep for your station. “I thought you might be in need of an escort.”

Your steps stutter on the carpet, only for a moment, hidden beneath the weight of your skirts. “Sir,” you manage, your smile stiff on your lips. “It is kind of you to think of me. But surely you know I must decline.”

“Must you?” His head cocks, same as his smile, curious and too confident by a half. “Can’t say I see a reason why. Unless you already ate.”

“I haven’t,” you say before you can think better of it, and by Shidnote’s smile, he knows it. “But it would hardly be appropriate.”

“C’mon now, my lady.” He slouches against your mantel, rumpling the crisp lines of his coat. “Surely everyone knows you eat.”

“The problem is not with eating, sir.” It would be helpful if you could summon a chill to your words the way your great aunt had always done, leaving all who spoke with her in the cold. Perhaps that might cool the warmth in Sir Zakura’s smile when you tell him, “It is that I am in mourning still.”

His eyebrows are already the proper bent for incredulity, but the effect is heightened when he lifts them, one a hair higher than the other. “So you don’t eat dinner?”

“I am not supposed to keep company.” It is impossible for His Majesty’s aide to not know what propriety demands of you, but still, he only smiles when you protest, as if you were but a child refusing to eat their vegetables. “The thought is kind, sir, but I am certain my presence would put a damper on the evening.”

“As charming a woman as you?” He shakes his head. “I doubt it.”

You scoff. “A widow is hardly charming. Everyone might pity her, but few would welcome a reminder of their own mortality. Perhaps when it is lighter, I--”

“And when is that?” He shrugs, a sinuous movement even with shoulders as broad as his. “A month? A few weeks? I’m sure no one would mind if the rules were bent, just this once.”

Your mouth gives a rueful twist, one he cannot see. “Widows are not allowed much bending, I’m afraid.”

His grin stretches far too wide. “Now that’s not true. I’ve known several very flexible widows in my time.”

“Sir.” It is a mercy that lace hides you; your flush would only encourage him to outrageousness. “It would be inappropriate in the extreme for me to step out while I am so deep in mourning. I appreciate that you thought of me, but I’m sure one of the young debutantes this season would be must more to your like--”

“Not at all.” That mouth of his is utterly brazen when he tells you, “I like a mature woman.”

Your own pulls flat. “Then I must disappoint you. If the castle records are correct, I’m afraid that my own birth was quite a few months after your own.”

That grin of his sharpens down to a point. “Age had nothing to do with maturity, my lady. His Majesty tells me that one all the time.”

His Majesty. The title pricks at you. Sir Zakura might play at flirtation, but he hardly needs to impress you with his connections, not when the king has already asked you--

Ah. So that’s what this is. Shidnote might plead pleasure all he likes, but this...this is business.

“All right,” you concede, your hands clenching in your skirts. “I suppose one dinner could hardly hurt.”

Have a tiny tidbit of something I’m writing for ya

You looked around confused this wasn’t where you fell asleep. Hell you weren’t even in the woods anymore you were in a cave and by the crispness of the air probably in a fucking mountain. Taking in you’re surroundings you notice a small fire , an empty bed roll and the master sword ? How was she here sky-no abyss had her. Slowly getting up you grab the sword and in spect her. Unsheathing her you find no damage is anything she was glowing a bit brighter. Relief that’s what you felt from yourself and from Fi, you resheath her and put her on your back. Taking a deep breath you get ready to out but before you could you hear a set of footsteps approaching. Quickly drawing the master sword you point it towards the entrance of the cave.

The person stop at the opening. It was a hylian woman who was the same height as wild with a slimmer build. Her hair was cut short akin to a pixie cut and its color was a deep brown with red tones to it. Her attire was simple a plane cream long sleeve top brown trousers, dark brown boots that stop below her knees, and simple amor a mix between metal and leather. She had a simple broad sword and a sheikah slat on a belt. Her complexion was sun kissed showing the she was a seasoned adventure and from what you could see she had freckles. She had a calm expression almost stoic, she then glanced at the sword in your hand. You remember who she is that’s, Mayu she’s a “link” from a fanfic you read back home. It was honestly pretty good and the author even wrote her a separate fic were she met the chain. That’s right! She got to camp a day after you ran into the twisted versions of the chain and with another linksona named Luna who’s from another person’s fic Did she save you?

Lowering fi you looked at her confused “where are we?” She smiles a bit “ somewhere safe for right now.” Your eyes go wide , she spoke?!? She never speaks! “Holy shit you’re speaking to me?!” She laugh a bit then nods “ I don’t see why I wouldn’t guide , I trust ya as well. Also to answer your questions yes I knew that those links were acting and looks different than normal. Lunar and I decided to split up for a bit for safety reasons. Lunar tiger beast Ezmi grabbed ya while you were sleeping and I yoinked fi with help from my sheikah amor. We ran to here and about two hours ago Lunar went off on her own.” Welp she was right that was all of your questions. “ yeah that makes sense..” letting out a sigh you look around the cave “so what know? We staying here ?” Mayu shakes her head “ no sadly we have to get moving , eventually that wolf man will find us. We pack up the bed rolls and head down the mountain and find the nearest stream to wash away any scent we have. I’m sorry but we also have to travel by foot for 70% of the day only stopping to eat, tiny breaks and to sleep. “ she didn’t look to happy about this either but you just nodded “ I understand, let’s pack up and head out breakfast can wait. “ walking over to the small fire you put it out with some cave dirt and roll up the bed you woke up on.

Mayu walks in to the cave and rolled up hers putting both in her slate. “Let’s get going.” And with that you both started your decent. You had any thoughts running through your head. Mainly about the villian chain as you dubbed them cuz they were acting like stereotypical game villains looked like them too. “Hey Mayu, if we did run into them what will we do?” Mayu looked at you with a serious expression “ you will run and keep Fi safe. They want you for some reason. I’ll stay and fight.” Dear hylia you forgot that she’s like wild mixed with twilight and wars. She would rather die fighting then surrender. “You have a death wish did you not see what time looks like?! “ Mayu just smirks and nods “oh I have , but he doesn’t scare me. He may have the looks of the fierce deity but he’s to him. And besides he doesn’t have the gods blessing I do.” Her aura instantly changed. Looking at the reflection of the smallish waterfall you two were walking past behind her reflection was the reflection of the very god you were talking about. Looking right at you with a small smirk you knew one thing and one thing only, he was at his full power and you prayed you never got to see it in action. You remember the ending of Mayus main story and you could only describe the finale fight that he helped as brutal. Looking back at path a head of you , you pushed that thought to the side , right now you need to survive, not think about any possible deaths.

if i'm going to be real with all of you i forgot the vocaloid mayu is canonically a yandere. (scoops that out of her and tosses the cupped liquid in my hands into a nearby stream) (it turns the water a sickly radioactive green and a bunch of dead fish float up to the surface) well okay
