#ᵗʰᵉ ʷᵒʳˡᵈ ⁱˢ ᶠᵉᵉᵈⁱⁿᵍ ᵐᵉ ˡⁱᵉˢ ( Commander Freud )

[etcrnalbonds]

“Freud..wak..p…” The smell of iron is strong. Covering your body like a shield is an ever familiar kinetic, with a smug yet distant look on her bloodied face. Her clothes slowly being stained by a deep crimson that came from piercing wounds of at least several different black chains that buzzed with darkness. Her body shook, that ever smiling mouth releases blood as a hand cups around his cheek, “Thank...you’re…al-“ She never finishes, body quivering and falling against his, chains vanishing.

   What...? What the hell just happened? The scene before him was once peaceful. There wasn’t a cloud in sight, a warm light was covering them, and Ophe; sweet, beautiful Ophe standing by his side. Happy, alive and well. So what happened? How did so much change so fast? It left him in shocked. Freud couldn’t speak, couldn’t move, couldn’t think. He could only stare at her as she spoke to him. Watch as her shirt became more and more read, her eyes fading out into lifelessness and her quivering form. It was all so wrong. This shouldn’t be happening, this can’t be happening!

   His mind finally catches up once her body falls to his. It feels as though he had been punched in the gut as the horror and realization hits him. He’s breathing hard and trembling as he moves to sit up and cradle her in his arms. The thought of any nearby danger is gone from his mind, all that matters is Ophe. Part of him hopes that this is just a horrible prank or a wound that looks worse than it truly is. The other part knows. But he can’t help but to deny it, he has to cling to that hope. He has to.

          “ Ophe...? ”

   His voice is distant to his own ears. It sounds far away, quaking in uncertainty and fear. Something that the dragon master had not heard in his own voice in a long time.

          “ No... Transcendents, no. Alicia please don’t take her! ”

   This wasn’t her war. This wasn’t her world. She shouldn’t have to die for this, whether she was on the good side or not. Freud swore to himself that nothing would happen to her, so why? Dammit, why the hell did he let this happen?! He should have protected her! He should have been the one to lose his life not her! Damn him for failing her! Damn the transcendents for taking her away! Damn the bastard that took her away from him!

          “ Ophelia...! ”

   Tears are freely falling from his eyes and he’s trembling so violently that anyone miles away could see him shaking. He holds her close, quietly sobbing against her cooling skin. Holding onto her for dear life, as if somehow it will bring her back. Back to the beginning, where there was no threats in sight. Just warm, sweet happiness.

          “ DAMMIT!!! ”

   He awakes to the sound of his own voice, confused and sobbing into his pillow. His room? When did he...? Oh, dream. It was all just a dream. Relief like he has never felt floods through him, enough for him to cry out in broken laughs. He runs a hand through his hair, shaking and jittery in the need to just move and calm himself down. But he can’t. No, not until he sees her. Not until he knows it was all a dream.

   He gets up from his bed, still shaking as violently and crying just as hard as he was in the dream. Transcendents, what a sight. The great dragon master reduce to this from a dream. How pitiful. But he couldn’t help it. Ophe meant so much to him, honestly, she was his one true weakness.

   Once in her room, he said nothing, only his hard breathes and the creaks from the floor could be heard from him. Seeing her brought another wave of relief to him, but it still wasn’t enough. He needed to feel her. Feel that she’s breathing and warm and not the cold and lifeless form from the dream. Freud walked to her bed and embraced her. Tight and clingy, as if she would disappear if he let her go.

          “ No one will ever take you away from me...             No one. ”

“Stay with me until it’s over.” (You choose le verse~)

Ｓｅｎｄ “Ｓｔａｙ ｗｉｔｈ ｍｅ ｕｎｔｉｌ ｉｔ’ｓ ｏｖｅｒ．” ｆｏｒ ｍｙ ｍｕｓｅ ｒｅａｃｔｉｎｇ ｔｏ ｙｏｕｒｓ ｄｙｉｎｇ ｉｎ ｔｈｅｉｒ ａｒｍｓ．

   Everything was going so smoothly, each and every enemy wasfalling so pathetically beneath them. Honestly, he felt unstoppable with her byhis side. Sure, their relationship was built upon flimsy ties and was bound tocrash and burn in the end; but it was so incredibly beneficial as of now.  Not a soul could deny that. Freud was lost inthe moment; the only thing that managed to pull him out of it was an oddly familiarvoice. It gasped, as though it had been struck by something. Everything stillfor Freud; a feeling of dread washed over him. His eyes were wide as he turned,expecting to see his fellow commander standing and still fighting. Rather, shewas on the ground, unmoving.

          “ Ophe!? ”

   But how…? Who? Why?! He dropped to the ground, setting thearea around him ablaze to keep anyone from interfering with them. Needless tosay, Freud was in a moment of shock. This was unexpected and far out of hiscalculations. Ophe wasn’t supposed to get injured in this. This was supposed tobe easy. Where did he go wrong? What happened?

   He bit his lip as he pulled her into his arms to inspectand, he prayed, heal her wounds. Alas, the wounds were much too deep. There wasno possible way to heal them in time. That wouldn’t stop him from trying,though. Denial was a powerful emotion after all.

          “ Hang on Ophe, just hang on! ”

   He held her close, cradling her in his arms as hedesperately tried to save her life. Attempt after attempt yet nothing worked.The wound was far too deep and she was fading fast. His breath stalled as herealized nothing could be done. His grip tightened on her, a pained look spreadacross his face as tears weld up. Could he really not do anything to save her?Was this really going to be the end?

   As quickly as they built up, tears began to stream down hischeeks.

          “ Dammit Ophe. What the hell, this wasn’t suppose              to happen.Dammit! You aren’t supposed to die! ”

   Yet again, he bit his lip; only this time to silencehimself. He shouldn’t be yelling at her, that shouldn’t be the last thing shehears from him. There was something else he should say. Something that was farmore important.

   ‘Stay with me until it’s over.’ She said.

          “ … As you wish. ”

   His hand held hers, fingers interlocking and squeezing herhand ever so gently. Her eyes began to close causing his heart to feel asthough it was being twisted. Gently he kissed her head and, not a moment after,she let out her final breath.

   Freud couldn’t bring himself to let her go. He clung to her,their foreheads pressed together. Only silent tears escaped him. He couldn’tcry out. He didn’t know what was holding him back, but not a sound could leavehis throat. He was grief stricken; it was unbearable, horrible weight thatweighed over him. It felt as though it was going to crush his being.

   Whoever did this was going to pay. He would drag them downto the deepest pits of hell. There would be no mercy for them, they wereunderserving of an easy death. They were going to suffer. He wanted thembegging, screaming for forgiveness. He wanted them to regret ever laying asingle eye on her.

   As Freud stalked up, behind his fellow commander, he couldn’t help but to smirk. Sure, this wasn’t as ‘shocking’ as it could have been, but it will be amusing nonetheless. He wasn’t a thief, but he was sure he would catch the other off guard. An arm wrapped firmly around her waist, while his free hand forced her head up and back. Though, despite the force he just use to stop and move her, the kiss he gave her was rather gentle.

          “ Good evening, Commander~ ”

          “ Well this is no way to propose, love.             Aren’t you supposed to be on one knee,             telling me how much you love and care              for me? That you wish to be with me for             rest of our lives~? ”

   He was teasing her, of course. His laughter could be seen in his eyes and clear amusement was ringing through his voice. He didn’t doubt this four day marriage was for shits and giggles; just something for them to joke around with, he assumed.

   Well, be it either way, Freud was legally and spiritually bound to her now. He didn’t quite mind, he believed that things would not change too much between them. Perhaps there would be more jokes and new ways to tease one another, but that was all he could think of really.

   Freud wrapped his arms around her waist, tugging her closer to him and giving her a quick kiss on her head.

          “ Lets enjoy these four days, Ophe~. ”

“i’m fine, it’s just a flesh wound, i’ll be okay.” ( Commander Verse )

ｈｕｒｔ ｍｅｍｅ．

          “ Just a flesh wound? Are you delirious?! ”

   She was bleeding out, if he didn’t act fast there was no doubt she would die! In a panicked rushed, he teleported them away from the battle, to a much further and safer place. Freud was not one for retreating but this surely was a reasonable cause to fall back. Freud laid her down and applied pressure to the wound as prepared a healing spell. Moments like these he was thankful that he knew a plethora of spells.

   But, hell, what what she thinking!? Why in Rhinne’s name would she take that attack!? Freud had expected it to fall onto him; they had that ‘I use you, you use me’ system, so why the hell wouldn’t she use him? The commander, honestly, has never experienced fear like this one. There were very few, actually none, that were close to him. He cared about no one, only his goals. So this panicked fear over the currently dying commander, well, he had no idea how to deal with the thing. He resulted in simply yelling his panicked thoughts at her.

          “ What the hell was that Ophe?! What were you              thinking, you could have died! You idiot! We had             a deal, you were supposed to use me you dumbass!             This is not how it works! ”

   He resisted the urge to cling to her. She was in critical condition, he must focus on making sure she comes out of this alive; not whatever that emotion is. He felt a sigh of relief build up when the magic was ready to cast. Immediately he placed it on her, though despite the healing properties beginning to take affect, he could not bring himself to remove his hand from the wound. Why, he had no idea. He just needed to feel her until he knew that she was going to be okay.

Send “UNF” to pin my muse against the wall with DESIRE Send “DONT” to pin my muse against the wall to prevent them from LEAVING

   Freud hated coming to the commanders meeting. These worthless, unintelligent cur always created horrible plans and, honestly, were a strain to be around. Quite frankly, he was shocked that he didn’t kill everyone in the room. It would make life so much easier if he did. Ah, but yes, the Black Mage wouldn’t with that, that would be rather troublesome if he incurred that mans wrath.

   Despite hating being there, Freud was one of the last people to leave. Well, attempt to leave at least. Once all of his papers were organized, he went towards the door only to find himself pinned to the wall. Freud couldn’t help but to smirk though a brow still rose as he regarded the general.

          “ Why hello, General. I do hope you know              that this is no way to greet someone. ”

   There was no doubt a spark of desire coming from her, but after the few meetings the two have he’s long learned that it was apart of her personality. A shame. How he wished to exploit that and make her his pawn. Ah well, the relationship they currently have was good enough. He could use her when he needed her and that was good enough for now.

   Centuries have past since Freud returned to him home in Leafre; honestly, he was quite shocked to see the little house still standing albeit it’s covered in foliage. The house itself wasn’t all too important to him, sure now he would have a better cover story should anyone find him out here. But what was important was his lab and study hidden underneath the house. There lies hundreds of books and ingredients for the mage to use. 

   Freud’s home was far away from the main town in Leafre, so he assumed that he would be all alone. Unfortunately, he was wrong. There were footsteps from above meaning someone had entered his home. ‘Sigh... now who could this be?’ At first he thought to simply leave them be and let them explore the home. There was nothing of value up there, so nothing would be missed if they stole anything. Though, his thoughts changed. It could be dangerous should they find the cellar. Sure Freud could simply kill them and dispose of the body, but no doubt would there be trouble. Their disappearance could lead more people to his home and increase the chance of his lab being found out. Chasing the person away would have to be the best course of action.

   Once up to the main room, Freud looked over the intruder. He seemed... oddly familiar, ah, but now wasn’t the time to think about this. He needed to get this man out of here.

          “ You know it’s rude entering someones house without permission. ”

   For a moment he debated if he should put up the charade of being a nice guy. The likelihood of intruder personally knowing him, in Freud’s mind, was slim to none. Having lived centuries ago, there was hardly anyone left that even knew his name. Being threatening and cruel was a much easier way to remove someone from his property.

          “ You should leave before I get angry. I’d oh-so hate having to hurt you. ”

[etcrnalbonds]

" Now you got a bad bitch, show me you can handle this ~ " (( You know exactly who's saying this))

   Oh, a challenge? Freud couldn’t help but to smirk at this. In an blink of an eye, her hands were pinned above and she was pressed against the wall behind them. Oh how he couldn’t help but to chuckle, his free hand snaked around the underside of her chin, tilting it and bringing it close him. 

          “ Love, handling you will be a walk in the park.             I can bend you in any way I desire. ”

Ｌｅａｖｅ ＇Ｌｉｖｅｄ ｌｏｎｇ ｅｎｏｕｇｈ ｔｏ ｂｅｃｏｍｅ ｔｈｅ ｖｉｌｌａｉｎ＇

   Now this was too easy. With hardly any effort he had managed to (once again) gain the trust of the empress but not only that, the former heroes still haven’t discovered the truth. They still blindly follow him without daring to question his orders. Hell, he even has another hero to manipulate. Sure he wasn’t to standards yet, but with due time the child should fall into place. The child looks up to him with such admiration that Freud believes he could drag this child into the deepest parts of hell with him with a few, meaningless words.

   ‘Now that would be something…’ but alas, the child’s morals were much to strong. Being a puppet would suffice for now, he would simply have break the child down and force him to see his way. Yes, that would be a brilliant plan. As for the other heroes, making them see eye to eye was nearly impossible. Luminous, Aran and Mercedes beliefs strongly clashed and the possibility of changing them were next to nothing. Though he was sure Phantom would agree to some extent, however any harm to the empress would be out of the question. ‘I could use him up to that point, then I could throw him away.’ Hm, he would have to keep that one in mind.

   What was his plan to be exact? Well, it’s quite simple. He wishes to rid the world of the Transcendent’s as well as the empress. Their reign is unnecessary and unwanted; too much power was given to them, therefore he needs to strip it all away. Siding with the Black Mage seemed to be the best course of action at the time. The mage could do all the dirty work while Freud worked from behind the scenes, ensuring that his goals will bet met. Of course, he would betray the Black Mage in the end, he was power hungry scum – he was another unnecessary piece for this ‘new world’ of Freud’s.

          “ All the pieces will fall into place… The empress will soon             fade along with the island of Ereve. It will crumble from inside,             weak and pitful, just like the empress this world so ‘loves.’            The Black Mage’s foolishness will be his ultimate end…            As for Alpha and Beta, heh, they’re hardly Transcendent’s.            Taking them down should be easy. ”

   Just a little longer… He would just have to wait a little longer and then he can strike. Once again, the empress is his target. With her out of the way he can move without restraint and control however he pleases. ‘Transcendent’s this is just too easy.’

@naviredelumiere

   So far the plan was going flawless. As expected, the former heroes accepted him without a single question, honestly, it was almost pitiful as to how much these poor saps trusted him. Even the youngest and newest member didn’t dare to doubt Freud’s alliance. That poor child, his naivety will be his downfall. 

   As per usual, his facade appeared to be his ‘normal’ kind smile. After years of practice, he was thankfully able to hold such an appearance for long amount of times. Thus making the current situation he’s in much easier. Currently Freud was on board Phantoms ship, discussing a plan of action for fighting the Black Mage. Though, before they got too far, Freud decided to retire for the night.

   At the time, Freud thought he knew everyone aboard Phantoms ship, so, as he was walking to his room, when he saw an unfamiliar face he was rather confused. He thought Phantom would have happily introduce the two upon his arrival, but it appears he must have been mistaken. Ah, oh well, he would simply have to handle introductions himself.

          “ Ah, you there  – miss  – I don’t believe we’ve met?              I’m Freud, a friend of Phantom. Who might you be? ”

[etcrnalbonds]

@conceitedheart​

   My, something important must be happening, considering that even Freud was called in. The Black Mage normally kept him on a very long leash; fairly free to move and do as he pleases. Whenever he did need to talk to the mage, it was normally through messages or hidden codes; however, for whatever reason the Black Mage had, he demand for Freud and the others to appear before him.

   Upon entering the stronghold, he caught a glimpse of a very familiar red head. He almost want to snicker to himself, honestly, it was odd seeing her without making plans to ‘stop’ her. Though he was unsure if she actually knew of his alliance to the Black Mage, even so, he figured that approaching the shaman could a wonderful way to kill time before the meeting.

          “ Hilla, its been quite a while since we’ve last seen each other.              Pray tell, how was your mission to dethrone Empress Cygnus?              I heard there was a surprise guest that appeared. ”

   He had to admit, his pawns were exceedingly fun to watch. Especially when it came to messing with the other commanders. While yes, he should be on their side and supporting them, but something about watching them fall victim to his ‘teams’ shenanigans especially Phantoms, he couldn’t help but to find it amusing.

[etcrnalbonds]

@tyrannicalheart​

          “ Ah, Magnus. What a pleasure to see you again. ”

   The sarcasm in his voice was evident, honestly, Freud hated the sight of the traitor. On that fateful day everything was perfectly planned out; the heroes should have fell, the Black Mage control this world and the others, however, Magnus turned on them at the worst possible time. 

   While Freud had always expected Magnus to betray them (after all, not many commanders are truly loyal to the mage. Like Freud, many have ulterior motives), it was the timing of it that caught him off guard.With their plans in shambles, their was no other choice but to leave this finial battle for another day. Needless to say, it’s clear why Freud is pissed at the other. 

          “ I must congratulate you, not many people manage to pissed me             off as much as you have. Haha, I’m practically seeing red. ”

   As much as he wants the man in front of him dead, he knew he couldn’t go about this carelessly. While Freud has expansive knowledge of magic and is no doubt a force to be reckoned with, a one v. one, mage verses knight, wouldn’t turn out too well for him. Without Afrien, taking on foes like Magnus would be tasking and extremely risky. One hit from the Nova’s sword and he would be down for good. Ah well, he would just have to get back at him some other day.
