Lavender for Lena [ DODGE ]

Tackles Sender tackles the receiver out of the way of an attack.

Crash!

Lena felt her body slam against the cold stone parapets before sliding down to see the battle mages advance towards her with blades drawn. Panic filled her chest when the metal steps got closer, and yet she still couldn't will herself to move! One step, then another... Lena brought her hand up to conjure something-- anything to blast them away, but her magic fizzled out just past her fingertips... Rendering her completely useless.

This was it... After a long, painful battle... This was how it ends? But she tried so hard... She did what she was told... The Gods promised this would be different... Why did it feel like history was repeating itself?!

One of the battle mages grabbed her neck to lift her tired body up so she would meet their eyes from behind the helmet. They said something, but Lena couldn't make it out or she just didn't want to. When she didn't respond, the mage threw her across the stones and conjured a cackling electric orb in their palm.

With whatever energy she had left, Lena managed to stand to brandish her glaive for one final stand; however, in the corner of her eye, just as the shot was fired... Lena saw Lavender rush towards the line of fire, and a new rush of panic washed over her. Lavender hit the floor, and something in Lena snapped.

As if breaking the chain on her animalistic rage, Lena roared to life- magic and fury oozing out of her being to make quick examples of the mages. But as quickly as the surge form, it was just as quick to die down when she saw Lavender laying there. She quickly ran to her side to begin sorting through her potions to save her friend.

"You bastard! What in the seven hells were you thinking? Lav, I swear to the Goddess, if you leave me now I'll--!!" Lena stopped herself, she didn't want to say anything like that out loud if the Gods were still watching.

Is there an OC you would love to create in-game, but currently you are unable to do so, perhaps because that race is not playable or that sex is unavailable (hello female Hrothgar)?

How many OCs do you currently have? If you have multiple OCs then how different are they from each other? How often do you create new ones?

Not at this time. But I seem to stick to elezen quite a lot. XD An now male viera. I seem to have issues with making characters of specific races. I've tried and just not been happy. (Adelena's gone through a few remakes till I came up with her current look.) I seem to have less issue designing characters of other races for supporting cast though. An lately I've had major issues with making female OCs. (Love the ones I do have but it's been a little bit of a struggle to find their headspace lately.) So a lot of my characters have ended up male, with Nebula being my first nonbinary OC. I think the one biggest issue I have with creating any new females isn't the race but... The boobs. >.> Especially since certain races can't get a decent smaller chest look. (I do not like huge boobs.) And Viera ladies just seem like they don't get smaller chests even at the smallest the slider goes. Question 2: Already Answered this one <3 Thanks for the ask @mimble-sparklepudding

📖 for Lena

Bookish Starters " The memory was so real... "

The moon was high above the forest clearing when the winds blew through thick fir trees. Everything was cool, comfortable.... Peaceful... Any moment Adelena could find like this was a blessing in these trying times.

The world outside the forest teetered between war and order, and Lena found her way out of the Temple to just exist as a woman unchained to duty.

Again, the wind blew, carrying the earthy tones of damp soil and clean pine with a hint of summer flora. And this time... Adelena found herself dancing. She twirled with the wind, as if the fae spirit was alive to dance along with her.

Her steps deliberate to assure she wasn't stepping on new flower buds or the critters that scurried from under the mushrooms.

In her head, she could hear the strings and drums play from a world long forgotten, and that caused her to laugh gleefully as she continued to dance for the moon and the wind.

When the strings crescendo out to the end of the song, Lena leaped in the air to land in a flourish... And when she looked up after her performance, she was met with the stained glass rather than the moon.

Adelena looked around, almost frantically, as she took in her surroundings. She wasn't in the forest. She wasn't home... Instead, she was in another building with beautiful stained glass windows depicting the world outside.

"No matter," she thought as she brought herself to stand, "A cage is still a cage regardless of how beautiful the bars are made."

With a huff, Lena fixed her skirts with a quick shimmy, then she turned to leave to room...However, she didn't realize that she had an audience after all. A shade of pink dusted her cheeks as she looked over.

"It... The memory was so real," she said sheepishly, "Sometimes I forget that I'm no longer in the fae courts."

“ is that blood? “ (from Ariel to Lena, adeadlysong)

Injury Reveal || @adeadlysong

Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit.

A new rush of panic coursed through Lena's body when she heard a voice emanate behind her. She was under the impression that she had the manor to herself, and if there was someone looking for her, the attendants would have informed her about them... But alas, it seemed that she was wrong on both fronts.

With a snap of her fingers, the sparring dummy she enchanted fell lifeless to the ground, and immediately, she brought both hands to her abdomen. Under her fingers, she hid the knife that nestled itself in her flesh, but blood was quick to flow out the wound. Instead of the usual red that blood tends to be, Lena bled silver-- magic manipulating the colour to physically show how potent it was. And that was what worried her.

Lena took a shaky breath before turning her head towards the voice, and she gave the familiar Sukumara a smile.

"A-Ah! Hey there, Lord Sukumara! Um, yeah. It is..." Lea huffed another laboured breath, "Um, what bring you here?? Looking for something?"

[stxrrbright]

To answer Candace Lena shook her head lightly. She put her two thumbs together, closing the rest of her fingers to make fists and moved that gesture forward a bit to sign "continue" in common. When the conversation went on, Lena opened her eyes to pay more attention to the group in front of her.

It was a good plan: one part looked for the dragons while the others searched for the long since forgotten group of assassins. What worried her, however, was the fact that they would be separated... What if that was what the group wanted? To divide down the monarchy to leave the places of power empty for a few days? Still, they had to do something or Melodia might be burned down in dragon fire...

"I'll stay with My Exalt," Nadine spoke first of the two, and Adelena nodded in agreement. She knew that Nadie could take care of herself out on the field, but they were in new territory together, and she wasn't sure what sort of restrictions were placed on them when they entered Melodia... So it was a "rather safe than sorry" dilemma.

"Technically, I have to stay alongside Maria, Siobhan, and Lord Sukumara. Lady Aria had instructed me as such unless any of them command I go somewhere else." Lena explained her situation t the group, hoping they would understand she had very little say on where she was to go. Of course, this didn't mean she couldn't voice her opinions in case she wanted to go somewhere else... She just had to follow orders so the Collector wouldn't have to come in and bring her back to the Manor.

"I'm quite flexible whether you wish me to accompany either group, or you can wish me here to watch the home front."

Prompt #27: Hail

Adelena grimaced down at the book on her bed. Inside might be answers. Might not. But it was what the captain had given her when she’d gone knocking. Asking questions about her father. She’d figured if anyone had known who he mother had been with, it would be the captain. Her mother and the captain had been close.

She’d not found what she wanted to do with her recently gained free time. So she’d begun to wonder about the truth of where she came from. No, that wasn’t exactly right. She knew she was a Siren and had been born into the life. Her mother had been a Siren since before she was born. But that left her to wonder who her father had been and where he’d come from.

Mother never had the natural magical talent that she did. So that meant it had to be from her father. But rarely did any of the mothers among the Sirens talk about the ones that sired their children. Her mother hadn’t been the exception in this.

But the Sirens didn’t have nearly as much work right now with current happenings. Some had already taken up other jobs in the downtime. But Adel hadn’t found anything that called to her. Not for a lack of trying either. What was she if not a Sanguine Siren? Who was she?

Grimacing down at the book that was her mother’s private journal, left in the care of the captain. What answers lay within it? Did she really want to know the truth of what sort of man her father was? Invade her mother’s private thoughts written down? 

She’d told Keten before she didn’t give a damn who the man had been who helped sire her. For the most part she still didn’t give a damn. Should just ignore the journal and find something else to do. But some part of her? Wanted to know. If for no other reason than to spit on him.

With a deep breath that is let out in a sigh, Adelena opened the journal and began to read. Akir the otter came up to snuggle in her lap as she scoured over the pages.

Lena tilted her head at their conversation. Why did it sound like they wanted to teleport?? In terms of catching the Countess up, Adelena meant to simply call her from the communication crystal to relay the information to her from their position... As she turned to face Candace for further clarification, Kamiizumi was already counting down.

Saiph shot off from his perch on Lea's shoulders to grow a bit in size to wrap Nadine and Lena close before they were taken through to jump from one region to the next. When the jump was successful, Saiph crashed to the marble flooring while the girls leaned on each other for support.

"Fine... Just dizzy," Lena answered softly before straightening out, "The countdown was appreciated, but poor Saiph--"

"I can usually move faster than that... I was just caught off guard and the pull was a bit much," He shrunk back to cat-size to jump back onto Lena's shoulders to rest, "I'm okay. Just need a little nap... Does anyone know where we might find the Countess??" Saiph looked around the hall a bit until a shiver went through his body. He narrowed his eyes slightly towards one of the doors... Then, he relaxed; his tail swaying a bit quickly.

"Edea is here!" he stated with a toothy grin.

[ READ ] + Allura

Assert Your Dominance… Nicely.

[ READ ]  Lena is reading something to Allura

It was a quiet night at the Garrison infirmary– save for the mechanical beeps and whirls that tracked the patients’ vital signs. Adelena was making rounds for her brother since he was called up to the Citadel a few days ago. He should be returning tomorrow, so she’ll have the freedom to grow bored in her room since she was still on lock down from the training room. Deep in complete thought, she turned the corner, and Lena noticed stirring coming from the room to her right– Allura’s room.

“Your Highness? Are you alright? Is there anything I can get you?” Her voice was soft, but it was firm. She didn’t want to scare her with her sudden appearance. Thankfully, Allura didn’t jump– she simply turned her head to acknowledge her. 

“I’m okay. Thank you, Shepard.” the princess offered her a smile, but said nothing more than that. Her attention was taken by the book in her hands. She flipped the pages, and sometimes the book itself as if that would help her read the letters on the pages. 

Lena rose a brow, watching the adorable scene unfolding before her. “Would you like me to read you the book, Princess? It’s rather quiet tonight, and the secondary nurse should be taking over my shift soon.” She paused, striking a quick smile, “It’ll cure us both of our boredom.” 

“Alright… Only if you’re not busy…” Allura answered quickly, making Lena chuckle as she walked into the room. Quietly, she took the book from the princess’s hands, and turned to the first page. After reading the first few lines, Lena started to read: 

“Once there were four children whose names were Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy. This story is about something that happened to them when they were sent away from London during the war because of the air-raids.”

Fynn now looked to Lena to read off the next question on his and James’ list, “Your best friend is?” 

Without even hesitating, Lena smiled and answered, “My darling brother, Lancey Lance!” Her happy expression would soon snap to disbelief when Fynn told her she was wrong and to try again. Something in her bubbled over– probably mild irritation due to that lanky jerk’s constant bullying and harassment… But irritation, nonetheless. 

“I know who my best friend is!!” she shouted in his face before turning away.

[stxrrbright]

All the Time || One Shot

A/N: Lena was summoned to the old Grana Farmhouse-- the current residence of her old war friend and ex-lover, Theodore Grana. What could be so important that she just had to be out of the Archival?  ( Explanation on what a Life Watch is can be found here [ x ] )

TW: Death

Adelena was quiet as she walked through the farm gates, albeit the residents were anything but. Animals were calling, and their humans were going about their daily chores, each one managing to wave a greeting as she passed them by. Course, she waved back, and even offered small conversations with some of the children that came her way. 

“You’re back!!” Conner, a smaller boy that Lena absolutely adored, called happily as he took a running start to hurl himself into her short figure. She caught him every time, much to his surprise. “You never seem to tire out, do you, Princess?” he slapped on his usual lopsided grin as he walked her to the farm house.

“Not at all. You never seem to run out of energy, do you, Connie?” Before the boy could protest, Lena quickly dug her fingers in his hair to ruffle up the tight curls a bit. She released a fit of giggles while Conner tried slapping her hand away. Eventually, the two would quiet down when they arrived at a closed door. 

Lena stared at the decorated carvings, completely speechless. Her palms began to sweat, and her heart began racing. She didn’t even notice her markings were completely out for all to see until Conner took her hand in his.  She looked down to find him wearing a softer smile, one more sympathetic than his previous grin... And with a turn of the knob and a shove, the door creaked open. 

Lena’s heart skipped when she heard a tired, old voice say, “Well now, is that my best girl?” 

“I... I guess it is, Theo.” She answered softly. Slowly, Lena walked through the threshold to end up at the side of the bed where her beloved comrade lay in his time ridden state. “Gosh, you look as handsome as I remember.”  The compliment made the old man laugh, but those laughs soon trickled into hard coughs and wheezes. He battled for the necessary oxygen for a few minutes before he finally managed to calm down. 

Lena knelt down, immediately taking Theo’s frail, wrinkled hand. They both said nothing, but it was obvious that they had so many thoughts running through their heads.  All those unfinished conversations... The sudden need for explanations...  Yet, no one dared to speak about them.

“Four generations strong,” Lena forced out, “I’m surprised how much Conner acts like you, but he certainly gets his good looks from Anne’s side of the family.” She let herself chuckle out the awkwardness building inside her, but it seems like it wasn’t strong enough to completely knock it down.  Theo only smiled at her comment, leading her to believe that she had said something wrong. 

The silence was too much for her. Lena stood up to press a kiss on his forehead, but as she tried to walk away, Theo’s grip on her hand tightened.  “I’m sorry, Lena... I shouldn’t have walked out on you like that,” hearing him made her turn to face him, and he continued, “I should have listened... I mean, look at you-- look at me, for Divine’s sake... I’m just about over the hill, and you have to watch me waste away to nothing. You’re right about us humans, we’re nothing but greedy little meat bags--!!” 

Lena quickly pulled Theo into a hug to shut him up. She felt him lean into her embrace, and although he probably didn’t want her to hear him cry... She did.  “Theodore, you and so many others have taught me so much... A major thing you’ve helped me see was that humans aren’t the only greedy creatures alive,” she carefully leaned him back on the pillows, “Greed, jealousy, desire, happiness, content... All these emotions is what drew me to humans in the first place. Divinia was clockwork before the Tyrant took over. He gave our people a taste of real power, and they were starving animals for more. Humans like you helped me realize that self-restraint was possible.” 

The sound of the door creaking open again caught Lena’s attention. One by one, Theodore’s family filed into the room. One of Theo’s grandchildren showed Lena his Life Watch; it was stopped at 3:21... It was already 3:18. 

“Y-You’re...? Your death is today?” her voice broke as tears began building at the corners of her eyes. “You called me here to see you die, Theodore?!” 

“You said yourself, Princess... Humans are greedy... I just... Needed to see you one more time...” He didn’t miss a beat in his retort. Theo looked through blurring vision to see his family. “Anna, my love, I’ll be seeing you soon... That way I can thank you for giving me this wonderful family. I couldn’t have asked for anything more... And you, Lena, you were my North Star. Thanks for always pointing me in the right direction. You got all the time in the world, Doll... Don’t... Waste... Any... Moment...” and with that, he took a sharp breath before exhaling peacefully. Afterwards, his breathing was no more... Theodore was gone. 

Adelena stood there, tears falling from her eyes. Conner’s mother held her, as she started crying a few moments before. The room was filled with muffled cries and suppressed sniffles-- an overall melancholy feeling looming in the atmosphere. 

You old kook... I don’t want any of the world’s time if it means I have to watch those I love and care for die...!

[stxrrbright]

As fun as that sounded... Lena wasn't too sure if she would allowed to leave just like that. Despite the openness of the estate as well as the grandiose appearance of the manor and its furnishings, this place was still a prison to those chained to it. Lena and the four other artefacts aren't meant to leave Lunar Manor. However, Lea had a special pardon. During her previous lifetime as the Tyrant's Oracle, she underwent certain rituals and spells that would allow her a temporary release from any bond... Much to the dismay of the Collector that has her here. But even so, the Collector was able to place certain "Quite" spells on her, the major one being that she couldn't teach the incantation nor accept the incantation that could fully break her away from the Manor. "Security reasons," the Collector would say to validate his actions.

With a small sigh, Lena straightened out to answer, but then that familiar magic started moving again, and from the doorway, a woman wearing a long, heavy veil appeared with a smaller woman in a pristine chemise at her side. The girl walked forward to wrap her arms around Lena and rest her head on her chest. A soft snore soon filled the room right after; this caused Lena to chuckle as she held the blonde close.

"Your bounty marks, Della," The veiled woman spoke first, "Don't forget about those while you're out there." her voice was soft, almost melodic but it still held an air of importance. She walked towards Adelena to take and hold her hand in both of hers. In a whisper, she muttered a tune much akin to a child's lullaby, and in a softer light, lavender markings coiled around Lena's limbs like vines. The solidified on her her skin after the light dimmed and the veiled woman stopped. With a polite bow, the woman turns to stand in the doorway to watch her guests quietly.

Lena cleared her throat to try and redirect the attention back on her. The fact that she suddenly felt so shy was such a foreign feeling for her, but she tried to power through it anyway.

"Well, if you guys want me to come along, I'm allowed to now. But I will have to agree with Maria, you all need to rest."
