#;; the warrior of flames (mushra)

@maskedmuses​ (for Yakumo)

He might’ve been content with things as they were, all implications and actualities considered. Everything aboard the Sunspire was running just as smoothly as it should be, and it was as he preferred it to be. Even Finnian and Tjarron were minding their own business, at opposite ends of the room and entirely ignoring each other, which was fine in the Captain’s opinion. It meant they weren’t aggravating each other and by extension giving him another splitting headache. Marquis, too, was quietly and contentedly occupied with his own matters.

Golems clattered and moved about, but they were as they should be. Busy, with their particular jobs aboard the ship. Like a well-oiled machine, with every cog in its place, and everything ticking along in a proper rhythm. At least.. That was until it opened, right in front of them. A Warp, a rift in the veils between each parallel realm, and he had no time to redirect his vessel to avoid it. Instead, he was forced to clench the wheel, teeth bared as he fought to keep steady in the abruptly wild currents pulling them in.

“Damn it! Damn it all to the four corners!”

“Cass! Can you get us outta this?!”

“Of course not! It opened too quickly and the current’s too strong!”

“But we’ll drop into another world! We don’t know what-”

“Finnian, will you shut your trap and help me rather than fuss!” It was a fight against the wheel, taking all his strength to keep them steady. “I know the implications! I know how dangerous it may be, but we have no choice! The Sunspire doesn’t have the capabilities to reverse course now!” Already he could see Marquis, weaving spells out of the air, drawing in the magic needed to protect them, and behind him was Tjarron. The Summoner’s Beast was not a moment short of feral, viciously snarling and balking at the edenic energies of the warp, his wings flared and the feathers on end.

And then Finn was by his side, his hands clasped over the elven captain’s, throwing his weight into the wheel too. They had to stay on course, even if it was an unknown, and largely dangerous course, they had to keep on it, and keep the ship from suffering a crash landing on the other side..

Yet another day, and still moving forward. It was all they really could do, but.. To be fair, it wasn’t as if Mushra didn’t get bored with the same old thing. A yawn, his arms stretching over his head, he’d taken up a temporary lookout post up the nearest tree, but.. Well, there wasn’t much to look at. Just trees, trees, and more trees. Boring.. Another yawn, and he finally climbed down.

“Yakumo.” He was just above her now, swinging himself down to stand beside her, and he smiled. “You ready to keep going? We should try to get as far as we can before nightfall.”

“Why are you in such a hurry?” Sago leaned against the tree now, watching Mushra with a smile. “It’s not like the next town’s going anywhere. We can take it easy for a while.”

“You can take it easy if you want, Sago, but I’d rather keep moving.” Mushra shook his head, frowning. Of course Sago didn’t feel the need to rush, but he did. “I’ve got a weird feeling about sticking around here, but you do what you want.” Sago shrugged.

“I don’t know if you’re so antsy based on a gut feeling, or if it’s just that your gut’s empty.”

“You trying to start something?!” But the second Mushra raised his fist, it was as if the sky was suddenly torn open, like a massive tear through wet paper. Immediately, Mushra had forgotten his argument with Sago, staring at it. “What is that..?” And then, he was up the tree again, as high as he could go, and just in time to see some sort of ship falling out of the rip in the sky, right before the hole closed back up again.

“I know you’re worried. I get it, but Koya’s old enough now.” Mushra shrugged, scratching at the back of his head a bit. “So she hasn’t beat me yet, but that’s not gonna make me say she shouldn’t go and see the world for herself.” He glanced at his daughter, and he smirked. Yeah. Koya was tough, all right. Just like he was.

“I’ve got an idea. We spar one last time, and you can show off to your mom that you really can handle yourself.” He remarked. “You’ve got all my techniques, and there’s not any more I can teach you, so it’s time to really show your stuff, and then I say you’re fine to go yourself and pick up a feather so we can keep in touch, yeah?”

He was proud of his daughter. Extremely proud in fact. He’d taught her everything he knew, except for maybe a couple secret skills and things that he had to keep to himself, mostly because he still wanted his own thing, and because they weren’t anything she’d actually manage to do the way she was anyway. Not until she could actually beat him. But he was more proud of her than he’d ever been of anything in his life, and for him.. Mushra, the king of boasting about his exploits and power, that was certainly saying something.

He’d actually been mostly minding his own business through much of the discussion. He knew Koya was right, but he understood his wife’s concerns too, but.. Then she called him into the conversation, and he found himself blurting the first words that came to mind.

“Why? She’s old enough.” Ooh.. Yeah, he wanted to retract that statement the second it was out of his mouth, but at the same time.. He sighed, shaking his head. “Look, I get what you’re doing, but she’s not a baby anymore, Yakumo. I’ve taught her everything I know, and you know just as well as I do that she can take care of herself.” Yeah, sure. School was all well and good, but Mushra had never gone to school and look how he turned out! He did just fine for himself without proper schooling! Another brief pause, and he put his hand on Yakumo’s shoulder.

“How ‘bout this? Let her go for a little while, maybe a month or two.” He offered. “She has to promise to stay in touch the whole time, and if she’s doing well by herself, then she gets to continue her own journey. But the minute something goes wrong, I’ll go and bring her right back here myself, and she has to go to school without complaining.” And now he turned to his daughter.

“That fair enough for you?”

The look Yakumo gave Mushra with his opening statement was enough to get him to rephrase himself. Her expression had not let up, at least until he had placed his hand on her shoulder. Tension slowly began to resolve as her lip quivered very slightly. “Mushra…” The brunette mumbled softly. “I wish she would have someone go with her instead. Violence isn’t always the answer, you know that.” It had been what Mushra had taught her. “Besides, she still hasn’t bested you in sparring, is she really ready?”

“I’m right here.” Koya sneered, already riled up by her mother’s comparison of the girl to her father. Why didn’t she understand she was her own person? People continued to stay she looked like her mother and given her father’s temperament. Fashioning the armor to look like Mushra’s in his youth had been a step away from her looks of her mother.

But it wasn’t enough.

Shaking her head enough for her ponytail to flick behind her. “How am I supposed to keep in contact if I’m busting up people, Papa? I only have one feather from Osiris. I could get another one…Oh, that’ll be it!” Koya’s attitude swung in a positive direction. “I’ll go to Rusephine’s domain and get one from Osiris to give to you guys!”

Yakumo frowned. “But that’s over a month’s travel by foot. We can wait until he comes back…He normally comes to babysit you–”

“Listen to papa, mom! I’m not a baby like Katsurou or Daigo!”

At the mention of the littlest child, a small brown haired toddler waddled up towards his mother’s leg, catching her attention. “Daigo, did Katsurou let you wander around?” The mother leaned down, picking up the small child and placing her on her hip with a gentle grip. A sigh escaped her as blue eyes closed. “I’m still worried.”

For the mun! If you could promo five of your current favorite muses, which ones would they be? (5 is a minimum since you said you have a lot)

;; Ooh.. You’re asking me to pick favorites. Hm.. Let’s see. How about these?

@better-safe-than-eaten - Branch from Dreamworks’ Trolls (I intend to be more active on here again soon)

@bloodstains-and-lies - Yuuya Kizami from Corpse Party

@scales-and-flowers - Charlie from the webcomic Monsterkind (he’s not a super active muse, but I do pop on here from time to time, and I will always love him)

@the-starship-crew - some of my OCs

@the-warrior-of-flames Mushra from Shinzo/Mushrambo (newest muse, and I definitely need to give him more attention)

So, yeah. Those are some of my current favorites among my many muses. That, and I’ve also got Envy, Fenris, Rafiki, Kaelan (another OC), and Mogar, to name a few others you may be interested in?

  Yakumo! I have something to tell you about Mushra....

HOW DARE YOU

;; Like this post for a starter from a Shinzo/Mushrambo muse! OCs may appear in some of these! Length may vary!

[jabbers-wild-world]

Mushra, Can You Use A Surf Board To Travel Across A Volcano Filled With Lava?

“No? But I think that’s more a question of if the surfboard can survive the heat of the sun, don’t ya think?”

[jabbers-wild-world]

Mushra, Have You Ever Tried The Carolina Reaper Chilli Pepper?

“Nah, but I’ve had some wild Enterran Death Peppers before, and lemme tell you, those things aren’t really safe for anyone who isn’t me.”

[jabbers-wild-world]

What Is Mushra's Favorite Food To Eat?

“Might be kinda expected, but I always like spicy food.”

[jabbers-wild-world]

Just because I think it'd be hilarious for the two hot heads: 💘 for Mushra about Bakugo

The Muse Grapevine! | Accepting

“Does this guy even know how to talk to girls? Or anyone? I guess no one told him you’re supposed to treat girls nicely, and give them gifts like flowers and stuff like that, not roast them alive! Sheesh, and people say I have a bad temper.. So far, his love life is non-existent, and it’ll probably be that way until he figures himself out.”

[jabbers-wild-world]

Mushra, what would you do if Yakumo came back, but didn't remember anything about you?

Honesty Time! | Accepting

Mushra: 1/10

“That’s.. It’s not easy to think about, that’s for sure, but.. That’s what making new memories is for, isn’t it? Yeah, it’d be hard, if I remember everything and she doesn’t, but I’d still stay with her, and make new memories with her. That’s the most important thing, just seeing her again.”

[jabbers-wild-world]

Mushra, how does it feel to be a god?

“Kinda.. weird but not weird? If that makes any sense? It’s always supposed to have been this way, so I guess that’s why, but.. Don’t tell Yakumo, though, okay? I don’t think we’ve gotten around to her remembering that part yet..”

[jabbers-wild-world]

Stepping outside the Inn, Yakumo glanced around, pouting as she didn't find the boy she was looking for. Cupping her hands over her mouth, she called out, "Mushra! I finished making dinner! Hurry, or everyone else will eat everything up!" After all, she had to help pay for their stay, so cooking in the Inn's kitchen was Yakumo's contribution. Mushra? Had different tasks.

He came running, practically skidding to a halt in front of her. Food really could summon him from anywhere, especially if there was a risk of everyone else eating all of it before he got any.

“I’m here!”
