     yet another late night, and yet another familiar face. was having that particular appearance commonplace in the world now, so different from the one she had created in an age long past, or was it perhaps just a consequence of a resplendent family history ? inheriting traits from one’s family was an inevitable condition of being born into this world, whether it was desired or not, but for so many servants — sabers and beasts alike - to share those features and to be recorded on the throne of heroes... it was an impressive feat. 

     ❛   You’re one of humanity’s Servants, correct ? Why are you wandering around so late ? That is bad for your health.   ❜   

     still, this girl was different from those children. this, tiamat could tell from a single glance. there was a fundamental difference in being, in origin. a child like this, born from the planet with a purpose, could not be said to be hers. she was not this child’s mother, nor could she claim to be for it would be untrue — but logic was never something the alter ego abided by, when her own sense of love was so deeply fractured.   ❛   Although you are not my child, you are still dear to humanity. For that reason, you can be considered my child by association. Therefore, you should and must prioritize your health, Servant or not. A bedtime would be the most appropriate first step, don’t you think ?   ❜

     for the past week, she’s been cooped up at home. not out of a desire to avoid everything or hide away, but because she was exhausted. the recent chaos had taken much out of her– the constant weeks of fighting ontop of firing the Black Barrel had made it practically impossible to leave bed once her body hit the mattress. it was as if every muscle shut off and she’s spent more hours sleeping than awake. but eventually, she knew she needed to move, to make sure her limbs haven’t forgotten how to work. she had to leave the comforts of home and continue with her life.

               late-night runs to a nearby corner store were not uncommon. it’s been something of a tradition of hers everytime something drastic happens and the store’s coffee had just enough kick in it to keep her body warm and mind alert. so when she first spots what looked startingly like a much smaller version of Tiamat, she knew she wasn’t seeing things.

   this is not how she remembered the Beast. in fact, the two images are so startingly different that Ritsuka wonders if they are even the same person. but she thinks of Goetia’s situation, of U-Olga Marie and decides that this is as much a possibility as anything else. still, there is a questioning hesitance when she speaks.  “….Tiamat?”

@earthgenesis​

     a different face, but the same heart. that was what could be said for the second of two masters the alter ego had encountered. both had faced the same trials, both had overcome their mother and defeated the final beast seeking a conclusive end and a new beginning to all life. and more importantly, both did not recognize her in this form. it had been a matter she had wanted to confirm, to ascertain whether or not the child who had been her master was in this city. alas, their reunion was not to be — but tiamat could accept that. all farewells had been said, and her job had concluded without any room for doubt. 

     — still, for two of the same child to be here... 

     alternate worlds coming into contact was risky, when they were fundamentally supposed to exist without crossing the other. it was completely different in scope from multiple instances of a servant being summoned, as they were at their core familiars to be used and discarded — not living beings. but if both children could exist alongside the other without consequence, then there was no reason for mother’s concern. if anything, it would seem that her detested humanity’s willingness to put themselves into harm’s way continued to be what threatened them the most. 

     “   Hello, humanity. You’re looking unwell. Are you trying to upset your Mother by disregarding the life I granted you?   ”

           HE’S   only been conscious for a matter of hours. Not for the day, but for the week.

             The details of how the fight for the island played out were hazy to him even now, but he was pretty content to find himself nestled comfortably in a certain Alter’s castle— content, and more than a little sore, but mostly extremely hungry. It was a little ironic that after inspecting his fingers, taking note of the lack of color he’d already expected to be there, he would run into one of the reasons he was intimately familiar with this type of necrosis in the first place.

             Even from a glance, he knew what she was. How could he not ?  Those vivid eyes, the distinctive horns… his body tensed instinctively, remembering all too well the consequences of her opening her mouth. Then again… they’d exchanged words once before, hadn’t they ?  The relief was palpable when she spoke instead of sang, and although his mind was already running to try and understand why she was here at all — much less looking like a compact version of herself  — her words brought him right back to the present. 

             Was he staring ?  … What is he saying — of course he was staring. He can’t really fault her for scolding him like… well, a mother; even he’d referred to humanity as a whole as her children. Maybe this was just inevitable… 

       ❛   Right— sorry… Mom.   ❜   If the being that once nearly obliterated almost anything that had ever existed was not only uninterested in hostility, but also wanted to be called ‘mom’ ?  That’s good enough for him. Mom it is.  ❛   I was just surprised to see you here…   ❜   Here on this street, here at this hour, here on this island, here as in anywhere—

     “   Mm. It’s alright, it’s okay. Children who make mistakes are equally as cute. And mistakes are natural as you grow. Take your time, humanity, and learn from Mom.   ”   her smile is soft as she nods, most pleased with how he addresses her. yes, yes — this is how it should be. a mere greeting, a simple acknowledgement, brings a warmth that immediately soothes the resentment in her heart. 

     but still, he had been through a lot, it would seem. a mother could always tell ( although the circumstances escaped her ). such was the way of it. her memories from within the world of imaginary numbers were... unclear. there was little that could be retained when when one’s mind and heart fought at odds with the other as a consequence of your rejection from the world. an unending flood of regret and hate, of love and compassion. so, in spite of the fact that she had been able to manifest in that other world as an alter ago, solely done due to necessity and pride, what had happened in the world she had originally come from eluded her beyond what was inevitable. beyond their destined encounter with the beast who had orchestrated it all. 

     her children had been so far away, had walked so far — to places unknown, to sights unseen. it was far too much for one child to carry. 

     ❛   I’m surprised too. I had thought I would return to my long, long sleep once all had concluded. Instead, I woke up here.    ❜   there was no reason to force the knowledge of an unknown land onto the young master, not yet, so she omits the detail of her previous summons. leaves it purposefully vague. enough so that she can focus on the more important matter of quelling his anxiety.   ❛   But that’s alright. I cannot even be called a little strong now but... I must have been pulled here for a reason. I must have been summoned to look after humanity once more. Your Mom... has put aside her grief, you see.   ❜

[earthgenesis]

     although her summons had been most unexpected, it would appear that those hidden in the shadows at least knew some form of hospitality. rather than being left to her own devices, to wander powerlessly through this new world, so foreign from the one she had mothered, the alter ego  had been afforded a most comfortable lodging. equipped with an array of appliances that tiamat could toy around with to her heart’s content, she had been pleased to discover that she could at the very least offer a haven to her children should they ever need somewhere to rest their weary heads. 

     a warm home, and a mother to return to — that was her ideal.

     but most surprisingly was that she alone was not the sole resident of her new home. another servant also resided there, a saber with a familiar face of whom tiamat had instantly taken to. had the young king not been a child so easy to dote on, tiamat may have taken offence to not being granted a private accommodation suitable to a goddess of her importance — but there was such joy to be found in lovingly preparing a delicious meal for a child, and as such, her pride was but a mere afterthought as she hums near the stovetop.

   “   It’s not good to go without a proper meal when you’re still so young. I’ve prepared plenty, so be sure to eat up before you go out for the day. It’s Mom’s treat.   ”

     the memories of aiding humanity were still fresh — even in this unfamiliar city, even with her strength waning. summoned by her own will rather than the uninspired system chaldea utilized, the great mother had no issue in retaining her memories of being a servant. undying, tiamat had believed once her duty was completed in that world that she would return to her imaginary prison and slumber once more beneath the waves. the throne of heroes could do little to invoke a deity who had been discarded by the world, and even if it tried, she would never answer its call. not unless her children were at risk.

     but this child knew not of that sinful babylon, nor of that vulgar creature who had dared to raise a claw to her beloved ( detested ) humanity. 

     shock, apprehension, confusion — the eyes of a boy, barely grown, who was recalling an arduous event, an encounter with a beast who hailed from the deep whose appearance had no doubt been scorched in his heart. it was a recognition that gave birth to caution, even with her power so heavily restrained and her form so noticeably altered. but such a response was only natural. rather than be one to be protected, he was a child who had moved forward to a future without her love. detached from the world that had needed her aid, he was a child who had quelled her fury and faced the time temple. she had been an enemy, and solely an enemy, in the eyes of this humanity.

     but how curious it was to meet again under such circumstances, a turn she could never have predicted. and how irksome it was to note that her discontent on the matter of her defeat still weighed heavily on her heart, her larval state no doubt worsening the sentiment. 

     ❛   You should greet your Mother properly. Staring isn’t polite, humanity. It seems that, despite having grown some, you still have much to learn from Mom.   ❜

i’m a little late getting things started here due to work buuut here is a special little starter call for a special little mom. better late than never amirite kids. i’m going to cap it at 3, but castmates are exempt !!

  TIAMAT / FATE GRAND ORDER

formerly a beast, an evil who threatened to wipe out humanity, tiamat has since manifested as an extremely weakened version of herself to save the members of chaldea in an alternate timeline ( mainly because her pride wouldn’t let her sit by and watch those who defeated her get defeated by a different beast ). 

she can get bigger, of course, when her saint graph is ascended. but since she’s a primordial goddess, the mana consumption involved with making a contract with her is pretty high. so both as a way to avoid the mental constraints she had as a beast, as well as a way to function as a servant, she appears in a larval state. 

aka she’s physically a little girl and doesn’t at all resemble the horrific draconic beast she once was... yet.  

also, she’s your mom. it doesn’t matter what other parents you have, or how old you are, she’s your mom. tiamat will not let you forget it. any child born of the earth is her child.

her existence as a mother is the driving force behind every action she makes, and regardless of how little she is, she will always put her children first. not even her pride is enough to make her ignore that. 

can someone please buy your mother a happy meal!!

[earthgenesis]
