THE ORDER OF PALMS An order of holy folk that serve The Helm, working to create powerful Aasimar Paladins for the purpose of protecting any who hire their help. [BACKSTORY UNDER CUT]

One day, Gjör and her peers were lead by their mentor Opheria, to a mission far from their home. On the peak of that mountain village, they saw upon the horizon, the castle of their home go up in flames. Horrified and scared, the apprentices sought to follow their mentors guidance, and followed her lead into a small barn. It was there, that Opheria proceeded to slaughter each and everyone of the apprentices. It seemed she somehow had a hand in this sudden attack on the Order of Palms. Gjör D'annevual survived a sword through the 'heart', on account of a rare condition, that places her heart on the other side of her chest. When she finally managed to bring herself back home, the Order was insulted by her survival. She had so many better peers, why couldn't any of them have survived? This runt was seriously the only thing that survived Opherias wrath? It was better to just wash their hands clean of this. Thus the Order decided to banish Gjör from their ranks. She now travels the land in search of a purpose.

Whumptober 2024: No. 29 - Forgotten

Title: Walking Away

Fandom: WWE (Professional Wrestling)

Characters: Sami Zayn & Kevin Owens (Past-Zowens)

Rating: Teen and Up Audiences

Word Count: 774

A/N: Welcome to another addition to Whumptober, Day 29. This one was fun to write, bouncing from Steen to Owens. It showed just a little bit of Kev's growth, and I liked digging into that. Cheers!

Summary: Kevin Steen had been forgotten once, left behind by the man who would become Kevin Owens. Kevin Owens would do whatever it took to not be forgotten by Sami.

Cross posted on AO3 under user wrestlinginjeans.

Kevin Owens knew what it felt like to be left behind, to be forgotten. When he had left behind Steen to become who he was today, he thought that by becoming something else, he would never have to feel forgotten again. He had made it to the WWE through blood, sweat, tears and skills. He had bulldozed through all barriers and people who stood in his way. He had even destroyed people that had stood by his side, who had thought they would be able to stand by his side forever. There had been one, one person who was like sunshine personified. One person who even Kevin believed that for a moment would be by his side forever no matter how much his touch burned. Kevin needed it, craved him but even that didn’t last. It couldn’t and Kevin had done what he had to do.

He thought that they were done, never to inhabit the same ring again, to breathe the same air. But they were intertwined, two sides to the same coin, two soulmates on the same path forward. But then their paths diverged once again. Sami, filled with visions of grandeur, had left Kevin behind for something more. Kevin couldn’t blame him; he had done the same to his partner so many times before. His light had long since abandoned him for a group of people that would snuff it out before molding the hopeful wrestler into something else entirely, a fallen angel.

Kevin, unable to watch the carnage that would ensue, moved off and joined his own attempt at escape in the Brawlin’ Brutes, a group that was united in a common goal. Kevin would destroy the Bloodline, but could he destroy him? He would destroy the Bloodline for what they had done to his sunlight, his purpose, his reason for being but he could never destroy Sami, not entirely. He had never been able to before and that was something that would never change.

Kevin Owens had gotten distracted, blinded by his light, if only for a moment and it had cost him. He had been so close to completing the pin 1…2…, so close to freeing himself and Sami of the nightmare that they spent every waking moment in, only to close their eyes and continue said nightmare. Kevin waited for the final slap of the ref’s hand as it met the mat, the bell signaling the end of the match and a victory for his team. When he knew that it would never come, that something had stopped it, he looked up and turned fiery eyes on the individual that had stood in his way to exoneration. The fire died in his eyes as he saw that Sami had been the one to stop him.

(Why? Why, Sami?)

 He had been this close, this close to freeing the both of them, to stopping whatever had been going on these past few years. Why had he stopped him?

Kevin stared into those hazel eyes that he should have known all too intimately, and he got his answer. Those eyes were not the ones that he had known, they were foreign to him now. Sami was no longer Sami. Sami was no longer his Sami. Kevin could weep at the sight. He had failed Sami. He would never be the same again.

In one moment, Kevin was staring into the eyes of a stranger and the next said stranger was hurdling towards him. Kevin welcomed it, ready to accept his fate. How poetic is it that his fate was to be fulfilled by the one man that he thought he was fated to be with forever. Kevin never the poet wished that he could articulate his thoughts into words, to weave them in a way that he knew they deserved. As Sami Zayn’s Helluva Kick connects with the side of his head, Kevin welcomes it like an old friend because that’s what it was, savoring the way the touch, even in violence, burned.

As the ref counts 1…2…3… three slaps of the mat close to his head, Kevin’s heart beats in time. His skin burns from where Sami is touching him, and he welcomes that too. Sami is off him all too soon and Kevin feels the crushing weight of loneliness and loss. But then, Sami is standing over him and his shadow is intoxicating, his gaze penetrating the very depths of Kevin’s soul and then he is gone, walking away from Kevin and to a future that Kevin had never had any business being a part of.

Kevin Owens knew then what it felt like to be forgotten.

Three days have passed since the birthday of once dear little brother. Such a shame to have missed it. Truly. ❝ Fufufu, maybe next year. ❞ Too bad dead men can't receive presents, even if said presents would send them back to their grave.

Ever think about the fact that Uther fell in love with a corpse?

That Catrina was dead, had already been dead for weeks, when the troll strutted into court wearing her face

And speaking of the origins of their plan- the troll had likely scavenged the estate of Tregor after the invasion minutes after the event, kicking bodies out the way on her instinctual hunt gold

Instead of finding anything valuable, which the bandits had already taken, she found pretty personal belongings, too lesser for a thief... and the lady that they belonged too.

Brutally murdered maybe, but intact enough to be recreated, and impersonated.

Finding her manservant’s body fallen nearby made the idea too easy to conceive, a "Jonas" in hand and the personal items of Catrina ruthlessly ripped away, the plan wealth beyond their imagining was already in motion

And then in the aftermath, of the whole horrid, gruesome, embarrassing affair, when the rumors had died down enough…

Uther must’ve gone quietly, in the early hours of the morning, to visit Catrina’s grave - the real Catrina

Laid flowers, and shed a few private tears over the woman he had never met, but had strong feelings for, perhaps love. Her physique and voice had enchanted him, in more ways than one, and temporarily given him a happy out from the sins of the past

Though it must've unsettled him, that he had fallen for the figment of a woman, not even a ghost, and pledged his entire Kingdom in a heartbeat over a pleasant if pitying face

Although I'm sure the irony, of beloveds coming back to the present, wearing marred faces with a masked intent for vengeance over ghosts of his evils, must have eluded him...

Not enjoying that TIME I'm living in.

Can I live in security or is this the damn cure I live with in every life.

I don't think I died in peace either it was always haunted by sorrow unable to save others being the last one left.

That isn't fun and I don't want it to happen again...

I don't have to power to change it though...
