The new owlet ruffled his feathers, judging its new potential siblings. Athena’s eyebrows rose as she studied the little bird. HOW did it end up in the Underworld on its own?

“You want to keep him?”  She inquired. “He…doesn’t belong to anyone, does he?”

Athena was all for adopting kids. However, she had a rule about kidnapping unless it was for a child’s safety. Blame a certain Gemini saint for that. 

The owl only gave Byaku an annoyed look. Hoot.

۞ ┊ “You are a sassy little thing, are you?” Byaku hummed as he tapped the little owl’s forehead. With a sigh, he scooped up the young burrowing owl and laughed as he continued to pet it.

“You’re also very young. Perhaps I can ask Athena if we can keep you?”

۞ ┊ Byaku grinned at her words. Oh, if only. However, even then, having Athena land here in the underworld with him–a servant of Hades–is probably something no one would have foretold.

“Lirael,” Byaku tested the name on his lips. It was an odd set of sounds, but it didn’t leave a bad taste in his mouth. It was just harder than ‘Athena’.  But he kept that noted in the back of his mind.

“Hm, owls? Perhaps not,” Byaku allowed her to readjust his arms. He planted soft kisses against her cheek as he murmured. “I believe we only judge humans. But you’re a weird contradiction, are you not? I would not be surprised if you have the human portion of your life written in the Necronomicon.” 

Athena smiled, reaching up to gentle cup the side of his face. These moments were…almost…better than when she could perch on his shoulder in owl form. Byaku’s presence was the only reason she was willing to put up with her human form outside of a mission.

“Perhaps you could find out one day. Or, worse, Mini discovers us if he decides to read up on the enemy.” She joked. “Cannot be any worse than the pope discovering our union.”

“Can we keep who?” A voice called from outside Byaku’s room, followed by the hoots of a small parliament of owlets.

The owl only gave Byaku an annoyed look. Hoot.

۞ ┊ "You are a sassy little thing, are you?" Byaku hummed as he tapped the little owl's forehead. With a sigh, he scooped up the young burrowing owl and laughed as he continued to pet it.

"You're also very young. Perhaps I can ask Athena if we can keep you?"

۞ ┊Byaku laughed at her joke. Perhaps he did so something very horrible while he was alive to be bestowed a fey. “If my time ever comes, then I probably deserved it, my dear.”

He placed his lips against her head, a long sigh escaping his nostrils as he carefully thought upon her words.

“It’s because your name is Athena,” Byaku ultimately joked. “If I ever introduce you to him, we should introduce you under a different name. Or else everyone in the Underworld will look at me weird, and I’m already different down there as it is.”

Of course, he wasn’t complaining. The lightness in his tone implied that he wasn’t even serious about his own proposal.

"My name-giver lacked sight of the future. Had she known my fate, perhaps she would have given me another name.” It hurt to thinking about her dearest friend. Maybe...when the war ends...she could... No, Athena couldn’t think like that while Byaku and the children needed her. 

“You could call me Lirael. I’ll respond to it as I do with ‘Athena’. Mini will never suspect a thing until I come to face his judgement. Do owls get judged?”

Athena lazily adjusted his arms so that she was more secured in his embrace.   

[ailceimic-acadicus]

“I grew tired of Sanctuary. I resent being there when you and the owlets are here.” She whispered, resting her head on his shoulder. 

A woman appears behind Byaku, placing her hands over his eyes. "Miss me?"

@ailceimic-acadicus | Owl Athena

        "!"

۞ ┊Byaku knew that voice!!

He was sitting down, reviewing a list of names and the ways that they died, when his eyes were covered by soft hands. He couldn't help the smile that bloomed on his lips.

"Elskling!" he breathed excitedly, reaching up to pull her hands from his eyes. His book long forgotten on his lap, he placed his warm lips against her knuckles as he purred. "I have missed you, dear. What are you doing here in the Underworld?"

.Sure, he might have given her a secret passage key, but it was still risky for her to be down here...

[If anyone finds this blog through @arcgeminga/ @albisnecromantia, wanted to post a little PSA. This muse IS an owl, but through alchemy/magic, she shape-shifts into a human form. I am setting up a sts verse for her as the owl saint.]

“Pardon me for my amusement at the idea of those relating to your job taking vacations.” Athena giggled softly. “Perhaps it is become of my nature and what you’ve told me that I find it…interesting.”

She began twirling a lock of Byaku’s hair around her finger. “I understand missing such figures. I miss my parents at times…they’ve long expired from this world.”

۞ ┊  Byaku hummed at her evaluation. He suppose it wasn’t wrong, how she viewed things. Judges of the Underworld taking vacations did seem like a humorous idea. “Pardoned,” he song lowly.

He listened to his lover as she played with a lock of his long, white hair. He knew her true nature–an owl of unimaginable age…

“You’re saying you had parents?” He asked with the swirl of jest hanging at the end of his words. “You mean I don’t have a fey lover? I have been deceived.” 

“If I had been a fey, then you must have done something very horrible to be bestowed such a cruel fate.” Athena teased back. “I suppose it’s best that Mini is on vacation, though. If I recall correctly, he really is not fond of me.”

[ailceimic-acadicus]

It was clear that she was making an effort not to burst into laughter. She clicked her tongue at him. “I offered parenting advice, NOT kidnapping.” 

"Need some parenting advice?" Athena the owl. (Is she or byaku the better parent, idfk)

♕┊ Usually, he hated the appearance of the god-forsaken bird-lady, but right now he couldn't be happier to see Athena.

♕┊ "Quick, take it away from me...!" he said, referring to the orphan that was dropped at his temple.

۞ ┊  With her in his arms, Byaku’s tense shoulders melted as he held her close. Athena was a sweet drug to him–something even better than music in some cases. When she gave him a light kiss, he hummed in delight.

Perhaps taking up the offer of somewhat ‘settling down’ was going to make him softer as a Specter. That’s a bad thing, isn’t it?

“No,” he offered slowly. His arms wrapped around Athena’s waist and his head leaning against hers. “Not astray… not completely.”

It was normal for him not to bring up anything about the Underworld. After all, it felt intrusive to bring up such a dark-natured topic onto their peaceful getaway from life. Things that were out of sight were out of mind, an he wouldn’t have it any other way.

But there were times when he needed to vent.

“It’s just my bosses took an extended vacation. I miss them since they’re the only parental-figures in my life.”

“Pardon me for my amusement at the idea of those relating to your job taking vacations.” Athena giggled softly. “Perhaps it is become of my nature and what you’ve told me that I find it…interesting.”

She began twirling a lock of Byaku’s hair around her finger. “I understand missing such figures. I miss my parents at times…they’ve long expired from this world.”

۞ ┊  “Hm?”

Byaku turned his head to the side to stare at the woman approaching him. Of course, there was no way he could forget about the endearing woman (owl).

“Well, min kjære,” the thaumaturgist, dressed in his casual robes–a turtle-neck, sleeveless, cotton shirt and simple, black trousers–reaches out a hand to offer her to be pulled into a hug. “I’m just thinking of my superiors, that’s all.”

Athena gladly settled into his embrace, giving him a kiss in return for his words. Today, she humored him by dressing nicely. Her true nature left her with little want for keeping up with whatever humans deemed necessary to appear attractive. 

“Oh? You rarely mention them when at home.” Perhaps that was something they shared in common. She rarely spoke about her mistress, but mainly to avoid bringing up the fact that she was someone’s familiar. “Is something astray at work?”

“You look a little lonely this evening, dear necromancer.”

۞ ┊  Byaku was surprised when his owl companion suddenly took flight. He eyed her carefully for a moment be for he flowed her, walking towards the shadows of the trees. He wondered what she was planning, and what her reason was for leading him here. 

۞ ┊   “Athena,” he called out to the owl. It was slightly tough to keep an eye on her. “What’s up?” He was confident that she wasn’t playing a trick on him, but her suddenness made him slightly nervous. 

It was easy for the small owl to weave into the branches. When she found one large enough, she took perch and allowed the alchemy that she learned over the centuries to change her form.

Soon, a woman mindfully clad replaced the owl’s presence. She looked down at the specter’s direction with familiar golden eyes. Silent and waiting.

Hoot.

۞ ┊   Byaku had expected the owl, but even so, he couldn’t contain his excitement. Eagerly, he stretched out his hand to her, smiling as he did so. “Athena! It’s nice to see you again! How are you?” 

    He really wanted to spend more time with his little owl. 

[ailceimic-acadicus]

Silence. Then, ruffling herself, the small owl took flight. She circled him before seeking the shelter of nearby trees.

Hoot.
