It's official; he's not sure where it comes from, but Cyrus definitely has a thing for blondes who are almost to the point of white hair and gold or black eyes. My boy is def a simp for that, don't even mention them being a bard. ( ๑‾̀◡‾́)σ"

[ TOP OF THE WORLD ]: one of the muses finds the other on the roof-top in the middle of the night. neither of them want to sleep, and so they sit together for the remainder of the night until the sun comes up, content to sit and talk and exist with each other.

(Even as a princess, bells would just randomly make her way to a rooftop to sit under the moon)

𝐒𝐄𝐓𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐒 𝐖𝐈𝐓𝐇 𝐏𝐎𝐓𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐈𝐀𝐋.

Cyrus had claimed one of the most enchanting spots in the entire castle for stargazing—a secluded rooftop perch beneath the moon’s serene glow. Here, under the vast expanse of the night sky, he would often lay back and ponder the enormity of the universe, feeling both humbled and awed by the celestial tapestry that stretched out endlessly above him. It was a profound solitude, a moment to reflect on his own smallness in the grand scheme of things.

Tonight, the King lay comfortably on a plush bedding he had carefully arranged atop the castle’s highest roof. The cool night air whispered around him, and a gentle hum escaped his lips, evolving into a soft, melodic song that resonated through the stillness, carrying his voice out into the night. His song was an ode to the stars, a blend of melancholy and wonder that seemed to make the stars twinkle a bit brighter.

His reverie was gently interrupted by the faint sound of footsteps ascending the ladder. The rhythmic pitter-patter grew louder, causing Cyrus to pause his tune and prop himself up on his elbows, curious about the unexpected visitor. As the figure emerged, illuminated by the moonlight, Cyrus’s smile widened.

"Ah, I see sleep eludes you as well?" he inquired, his voice warm and inviting, a smile curling at the corners of his lips. "Is it fair to assume you also find solace in the stars? Please, join me." The King’s gesture was as gracious as it was welcoming, moving over to make ample space for his guest on the rooftop bedding.

"I haven't really had the chance to strike up a conversation with him yet. There's nothing inherently wrong with that, but it feels like something is missing. It's hard to explain," he paused, an unmistakable blush creeping up his cheeks. "So, I'd have to say pass for now."

He chuckled softly, admitting, "I do have a bit of a thing for bards, though. But a genuine connection is essential for me before considering anything more… intimate." His gaze softened as he spoke, revealing a depth of longing for more than just fleeting encounters.

GREEN CODED

green, a study in living life, growth, and change. you're one of the people who often find themselves believing that anybody can be better than they are right now, should they put in the effort. you know when to quit, of course, but that tolerance is very high. you know when to put faith in the right people, but that knowledge was earned the hard way. the world is a dangerous place, and you know that. but that doesn't mean that life isn't worth living. the world is a place full of danger, of love, of wonder. you know that firsthand.

Cyrus could see the awe in the young man's eyes, a glimmer that took him back to his own youth. The star-struck expression caused a smile to tug at his lips, a mix of nostalgia and amusement. The young man's eyes sparkled with a sense of wonder and untarnished eagerness, a reflection of the dreams Cyrus once held.

"Say, what's your name, kid? I don't think I've seen you around before," Cyrus inquired, his voice warm and inviting. He set down the drink he had been sipping on, the amber liquid catching the light momentarily. As it often did, the question about his scar had come up, serving as a common icebreaker alongside comments about his imposing height. Both features had become trademarks of his persona, gateways to conversations that always began with curiosity and intrigue.

The prominent scar that traced a rugged path across Cyrus's face is a testament to the battles they fought and survived. Cyrus leaned back slightly, waiting patiently. His presence was both commanding and comforting.

Cyrus couldn't help but feel a pang of fondness. The journey from an eager youth to a seasoned warrior had been long and arduous, and seeing that same spark in someone else brought back memories of his own adventures, the challenges he had overcome, and the dreams that had driven him forward.

[kingscyrus]

Why did you leave me here alone, In this world so cold, turned to stone? Every step I take, I feel your absence near, Echoes of the past, my only souvenir. In the quiet of the night, your voice fades away, A whisper of a dream that I can’t make stay. Though you're gone, your love will always last, In the echoes of the past, forever cast.

[kingscyrus]

is she gonna get a handful of that cake? yes. you better believe it. squish squish, cyrus.

unprompted ask // always accepting

Cyrus was deeply focused on the new weapon he had carefully crafted, a masterpiece in terms of shape and keenness of the blade. His eyes widened, and he smiled big as he twirled it in his hand. But his expression quickly turned flustered as he felt a rogue palm cup his rear, offering a few playful squeezes. A deep shade of red shot up his body, settling on his cheeks, the tip of his nose, and his ear tips. "Vast'ta --!!" (what the) he exclaimed, the blade comically flying into the air as he tried to catch it. Once he had it firmly in hand, he turned to see the culprit.

"Vast'ta bogovar -- oh, my love, it's you..." (what in the gods' name are you doing) he sighed in relief, pinching her cheek gently before placing the blade down.

basically i got thinking abt like. you know when you watch a movie, or read a book, and characters go into a room or they do a particular thing together, and you just KNOW it’s building up to something, and it could be literally anything, from a kiss to a murder, but SOMETHING will DEFINITELY happen??? yeah. this is a love-letter to those glorious scenes! i hope you all enjoy!

[  ROAD  TRIP  ]:     the sender and receiver embark on a road trip together; the purpose could be anything at all, but what’s important is that the journey lasts at least several hours. additionally, the sender and receiver are the only people in the car!

[  BARED  SOULS  ]:     the sender and receiver spontaneously go skinny dipping together in the middle of the night while visiting an isolated lake. go wild! maybe the sender finds the receiver already skinny dipping, maybe it’s the other way round, who knows! you do! maybe.

[  NIGHT-TIME  STROLLS  ]:    the sender decides to walk the receiver home from an event late one night. and it’s very late; so late that they might as well be the only people left in the world. it’s just them and the quiet night sky, and conversations of all kinds are easy to come by.

[  TOP OF THE WORLD  ]:     one of the muses finds the other on the roof-top in the middle of the night. neither of them want to sleep, and so they sit together for the remainder of the night until the sun comes up, content to sit and talk and exist with each other.

[  STEPPING  BACK  ]:      while they’re both attending a particularly lively and crowded party, both muses, craving a moment of peace and fresh air, accidentally go to the same balcony. unwilling to leave, they sit together, and begin to talk as the party spins on behind their backs.

[  NO  VACANCIES  ]:     both characters are in a position where they must share a hotel room together; not so bad, until they realize the only room left has one bed and no sofa in it. paired with a carpet that not even a worst enemy would be subjected to, the two must share the bed.

[  WRONG  ROOM  ]:     after a long day, and a hotel with many vacancies, the two muses part ways to go to bed. only, one of them ends up waking in the middle of the night, and shows up at the other’s doorstep, knocking and asking to come in, for reasons unknown to the other muse.

[  NIGHT-INGALE  ]:     after being badly beaten, one muse shows up on the other muse’s doorstep, pleading for help. the other obliges, brings them in and gently cleans their wounds, bandaging them up, helping them as much as they can while quiet confessions and gentle pleas happen. basically, angst and emotion and hurt and comfort, and it’s DELICIOUS–

[  VISITING  HOURS  ]:     upon waking in a hospital bed, one of the muses turns their head, and finds the other sleeping in an uncomfortable chair by their bedside.

WEAKNESS HEADCANON.

In the "King's Journey" verse, Cyrus Leonhardt is renowned for his incredible resilience, unparalleled strength, and unbreakable will. His immense power, both physical and mystical, makes him a nearly invincible force on the battlefield and an indomitable ruler in his kingdom. However, the legend tells of a single, perilous way to subdue this formidable King of Kings: the use of ancient bindings and high-level black magic.

The Legend of the Ancient Bindings

Origin:

The ancient bindings are remnants of a bygone era, crafted by a long-forgotten civilization that feared the rise of beings with extraordinary powers. These bindings were designed not just to hold but to suppress the very essence of their captive's abilities. The lore suggests that these bindings were forged in the heart of a dying star, infused with rare metals and enchanted by the most powerful sorcerers of the age.

Description:

The bindings appear as dark, almost obsidian chains, etched with runes that shimmer with an eerie, otherworldly light. Each link is inscribed with spells of suppression and control (in ancient and forgotten language.) designed to neutralize any form of resistance. When wrapped around a target, these chains sink into the flesh, merging with the body and sapping the strength and will of the captive.

High-Level Black Magic

The Ritual:

Subduing Cyrus requires more than just the physical bindings; it necessitates a complex ritual of high-level black magic, performed by a sorcerer of unmatched skill and dark intent. The ritual involves a series of incantations that tap into the darkest corners of the magical realm, drawing on the power of shadow and chaos.

1. Preparation:

- The ritual must be conducted during a lunar eclipse, a time when the barriers between worlds are weakest.

- A circle of power must be drawn with blood, surrounded by sigils representing control, suppression, and darkness.

- The ancient bindings must be anointed with a mixture of rare herbs and the blood of a willing sacrifice, amplifying their power.

2. Invocation:

- The sorcerer recites the incantations in a forgotten tongue, calling upon ancient spirits and dark entities to lend their strength.

- As the spell progresses, the air thickens with a palpable darkness, and the ground trembles with the power being unleashed.

- The bindings are placed on Cyrus, and the runes begin to glow, responding to the magic being channeled.

3. Binding:

- The final words of the incantation seal the ritual, and the chains tighten, merging with Cyrus's flesh.

- The runes flare brightly before dimming, signifying the activation of their suppressive power.

The Effects on Cyrus

When the ancient bindings and high-level black magic are successfully used on Cyrus, the effects are profound:

1. Physical Weakness:

The chains drain Cyrus's strength, making even the simplest movements a struggle. His once invincible body becomes frail, unable to muster the power that once defined him.

2. Suppression of Abilities:

The magical nature of the bindings suppresses his enhanced senses, agility, and resilience. His shifting abilities, the hidden power within him, are completely locked away, rendering him unable to transform or access his latent potential.

3. Psychological Impact:

The suppression isn't just physical; the magic seeps into his mind, dulling his will and spirit. The indomitable will that once drove him becomes clouded, and his unbreakable resolve begins to waver.

The Aftermath

The use of such dark and powerful magic leaves lasting scars, both on Cyrus and the world around him. The ritual itself disrupts the natural balance, leaving a lingering aura of darkness and despair. Those who dare to perform it are often marked by the entities they invoked, their souls tainted by the darkness they wielded.

Cyrus, once subdued, becomes a shadow of his former self. The people of his kingdom, who once looked up to their unyielding king, are left in turmoil, searching for a way to break the ancient bindings and restore their leader. The legend suggests that only an act of true love or a sacrifice of equal power can shatter the bindings and release Cyrus from his cursed imprisonment.

Conclusion

In the "King's Journey" verse, the tale of Cyrus Leonhardt's subjugation serves as a grim reminder of the lengths one must go to tame such a powerful being. The combination of ancient bindings and mastery of black magic represents the darkest aspects of the magical world, a testament to the boundless potential for both creation and destruction.
