♤ The Moutain of Water ♤ A LMK MINI FANFIC

(AKA, how Hui and Tai met Shuimu)

(Note: this takes place during the first season of LMK!)

"Wait, why are we here again?" Hui Ying asked, following her brother, Tai, as they walked through a empty and freezing cave, the sound of a waterfall being apparent.

"Auntie Yujin said that there was a power energy of a demon God here. We're investigating it" Tai answered casually, still walking throughout the mountain, observing its surroundings.

There was few trees on the surface, letting the shining sunlight through. However despite the sunlight being present in the mountain, there was a sense of lost hope and sadness that hung throughout the air of the mountain. As there was no animals, or grass. Just plain stone

"Oddly enough, I can't sense any demons around here yet" Tai commented, putting his hands into his jacket pockets.

Hui Ying sighed. "Atleast this made us go outside! It's healthy for us...." Hui Ying then decided to walk towards the noises of the water fall, her steps echoing throughout the mountain.

As hui Ying got closer to the waterfall noise, she stopped in her tracks when she saw almost a curtain made out of leaves, surrounding the curtain where two stone pillars, having a symbol of ocean waves.

Hui Ying walked up too one of the pillars, observing it before taking out her camera from her bag and taking a picture of it. When the photo came out of the camera, Hui Ying took the photo and waved it side to side before putting it away in her bag.

"Hey, Tai, I found something over here!" Hui Ying called out, getting the attention of her brother.

"What is it?" Tai asked walking to over hui Ying was, only to freeze in his tracks when he saw the two stone pillars with the leaf curtain. Tai's expression quickly turned from relaxed to cautious.

"Let's be careful. Something like this here may imply someone was or lives here...." Tai stated, quickly making a trident out of light before going through the leaf curtain, with Hui Ying following behind.

When Tai and Hui Ying walked through the leaf curtain, it only revealed a waterfall. They where behind the waterfall. The room was only illuminated by the light coming from the water fall. Yet, even though it was just a simple waterfall they where behind, the air of sadness and dread increased.

"Huh.....nothing" Hui Ying commented, looking around as she rubbed her arms in discomfort.

"No, not nothing.....something Is here. We just need to unlock it" Tai corrected, still looking at the waterfall. Tai turned his trident made out of light to just an orb, and held it out in front of the water fall.

Hui Ying looked at Tai and nodded, taking a deep breath in and out. Unlike Tai, hui still wasn't as good with her powers yet since her past teachers told her that she wouldn't need to use them in her life. But this was the Mortal realm, not the Celestial one. With that, Hui Ying created a small blue orb of lighting, and held it out in front of the water fall aswell.

Suddenly, the orbs slowly turn into some kind of sigal design, with one of them being a lotus, and the other being a crown shaped headpiece, similar to the headpiece Wukon was known for. Slowly, the mountain began to shake as bubbling water then could be heard from the middle of the mountain.

"..alright maybe that wasn't such a good idea" Tai commented as he turned his head in the direction of the noise of bubbling water.

"You think!?" Hui Ying yelled in reply before running out of which she came, running towards the center of the mountain in panic.

When hui Ying at the center of a mountain, she saw a large snake creature, made out of water with perishing red eyes. At the end of the water snake's tail was blood red water. However, it was only moments before Tai shined a bright light in the Snake's eyes, letting it drop to the floor. Hui Ying snapped her head to Tai.

"Why the hell did you do that!?" Hui Ying asked

Tai rolled his eyes. "Easy, because that wasn't some Celestial creature, that's the form of a demon." Tai stated, pointing to where the snake had collapsed.

Hui Ying turned her head back to see a woman around Tai's age lay on the same spot the snake collapsed, the woman had torn up, raggedy clothes, with her black hair disheveled except some of it tied up in a bun.

"You.....we just unleashed a demon from their prison huh?" Hui Ying said, dread filling her voice as the dread and sadness in the air of the mountain started to clear.

"Yep. I'm surpsied that it needed two people to unlock her. She must have been a problem back then if two people where needed to seal this woman away" Tai replied indifferently. Tai knew more things about humans and Demons did than Hui Ying, and he always took pride In it.

The Woman on the floor then took a almost dramatic gasp of air as she quickly sat back up. The woman had long, white, tear drop like eyelashes with dark blue eyes. By the looks of it, the woman hasn't slept for centuries.

The Woman noticed Tai and Hui Ying and quickly backed away defensively into a corner, glaring at the both of them with contempt but also fear.

"Hey, calm down ma'am, we mean no harm...." Tai stated, his voice being gentler than it usually is in hopes to calm the disheveled woman down.

"Who are you two? And why....why can't I remember anything??....." The woman snapped back in reply, a sense of dread in her last words.

Hui Ying and Tai glanced at each other in worry before Hui Ying took a step forward.

"I'm hui Ying, and this is my brother Tai. We are the ones who kind of....unlocked you from....wherever you where...." Hui Ying explained slowly and gently, not wanting to scare her. "You said you can't remember anything. Do you need some help?-"

"Shuimu" The Woman stated, her body language slowly becoming calm as she stood back up.

"What?" Hui Ying asked in confusion

"My name is Shuimu"

Feel free to ask questions!

PROLOGUE

“can i get a kiss?”

“and can you make it last forever?”

“i said im bout’ to go to war.”

“and i dont know if imma see you again.”

pairing: Platonic Spider Socorro (#1 spider defender)

word count: roughly 600

Plot: spiders na’vi “mother” attempts to save her son but instead gets captured with him. during the time of them both being in captivity they both develop deep relationships with the recoms 😩 amazing plot (mostly follows movie storyline js added mother!reader into it )

Notes: This is my first ever story so I’m kinda nervous 😬 dont be mean, thank you goodbye💪‼️

PANDORA FOREST

The sound of soft singing could be heard from a small stream in Pandora’s forest. The stream was surrounded by rocks and boulders, clusters of lively, deep-colored vegetation.

In the stream, A Mother would be seen with her son. Her Human son. There were no words being sung, only syllables. As her long blue fingers clean the boy’s blonde dreads, memories seemed to bleed into her mind. Sweet, Old memories of when her son was just a prrnen ('pr.nen-baby).

Enter Memory

Beautiful Chestnut eyes peered into her gold ones. The young human boy has ran into one of the female Omaticaya warriors, while out with the Oloeyktan, Jake Sully, and his children. He seems to be a bit lost and tells the women he needs help getting back to his friends. The Warrior agrees to help, and scoops him up on her back.

On the way to his destination, the woman seemes to be fond of the human boy. She learns his name and they finally say their goodbyes and go their separate ways. Except everyday after that, He finds himself in her company more than he is with the Oloeyktan’s children.

End Memory

“Sa’nu?..” … “sa'nok." The grown boy’s voice finally reaches his mother ears. “Yes, maitan?” you respond. “Are you almost finished? I am supposed to go and see Lo’ak soon.” he spoke.

“Yes I am done, Let’s go. Its almost eclipse and I need to speak with Jake Sully..” His mother gathers the soaps for bathing and starts their way back to High Camp.

HIGH CAMP

The five kids could hear the hushed voices of their parents. By the tone in their voices they could tell something was wrong. In the Oloeyktan’s tent, You and Neytiri were having a little dispute about you not joining the war parties because of your overprotectiveness with your son.

Neytiri is past frustrated and isn’t thinking about the words that are coming out of her mouth. “He does not belong here, he should be with his own kind. On his planet.” she states. “He is stopping you from your duties-“ “ He is more important than my duties .“ Neytiri does not take it kindly when you interrupt her, she hisses at you. “I do not appreciate you belittling him- belittling me.” A lenghty pause was taken. “That ‘tawtute’ you degrade, is my son. I will not stand by and let you continue to shame him.”

Jake sees this argument can only get worse by your body language,so he steps in. “Alright, lets calm down and go back to our original issue..” he looks at you. “We need you out there ___… they are only getting stronger and smarter. Now we need all hands on deck. Please.” You take his ask into consideration. These war parties are the only thing protecting your home. Miles’ home. Your family’s home. “I will join you Oloeyktan Jake.”

SCOUTING

Flying on your ikran, seeing all the beautiful moutains and forests, having the wind blow against you will never get old. Scouting with Jake Sully, Neytiri and their first-born Neteyam was going exceptional. Until a distress call from Jake’s second-born comes through.

“Devil dog this is Eagle eye, over”

“Eagle eye send your traffic”

“I’ve got eyes on some guys…they look like avatars but, they’re in full camo and carrying ARs. Theres six of them. Over.”

“What’s your pos? Over”

You scanned Jake’s face for any sign of discomfort.

“Um.. We’re at the old shack.”

“Who’s we?”

Jake was uneasy.., who did Lo’ak rope into this mess with him?

===========================

Have you ever seen movie footage of a different planet? Would you like to see some real photographs taken by scientists and sattelites?====================

I would live to discuss a hypethesis of mine that"s been bugging me for a long time.

Did you know as Saturn is the second largest planet in the mily way solar system next to Jupiter. Multiple variables fall into place in reguards to the homeopathy and general status and charchteristic of the flora and fauna locale.

In every sci fi movie. They document how it may be possible to travel to another planet with the use of a flight craft or some sort of jet. Which will always be the case in reguards to space exploration, the final frontier. This is because a jet(especially a large one) would provide optimal conditions as well as making the proper nessessitiess available and provide comfort for long term travel and hyper sleep in the confines of space. Now that i've finished stating the obvious.

The term "space" being the inherently obvious term for all the blackness you see as you look out of the front of the jet windshield(cockpit; flightdeck) is quite accurate in fact. As all that blackness is basically just dark matter in a scientific allegorical sense.

If you pay attention to the surface of take mars for instance, in the new 2022 movie "Riddick". Mars , or the "red planet" is actually simplistic enough in it's own right to make for more of a simple ecosystem. We're actually quite scared to think of what may exist or be able to survive there because it is entirely possible to meet extraterrestrial life. The term extraterrestial meaning: sciences not indigenous to Earth. From it's simple martian atmosphere. It's atmosphere is even similar to that of Earth. lf you This term meaning, sciences not indigenous to Earth.

To back up this theory. Here's a collective of real photos taken by the hubble telescope, numerous sattleite photos and even rover photography from the 20'and xx rover mission Curiosity that landed on Mars in 2014. and yes I can absolutely show these phots and its legal because i ive in America and i know my basic human rights. This information is clearly available to the public and has been in conjunction with the United States first ammendment which states freedom of the press. This is a blog, I'm the one blogging. These photos are actually so easy to access even a child could access this information if he or she indeed felt so inclined.

What's even more interesting with the help of these very clear hd photographs is the view of the sky behind the moutains. It seems to have a greyish white tint to it. Indeed it could be a dust storm of sand. Or a micture of red earth. Maybe it's methane or perhaps a nitrogen and helium mixture. These are the most popular theories as to what may happen if you were to breathe on mars: with no helmet on. No masks of any sort. Just simply going outside and inhaling and exhaling. Either way it would behoove most in the scientific community to reveal that an atmosphere is present. But what if hypothetically Jupiter could be considered an alternative light source( more specfically, like the Sun) throughout the day being it is closer than Earth. The chances of harnessing natural gases and energy is acceptable. And Jupiter is technically much easier to track inherently based on its numerical proximity and celestial path. It is much larger than the sun relatively. My point being that one person may try to assume that a planet, like mars. Has more than one sun. If technology is not advanced enough to try and locate exact coordinates. Than the information is null and therefore untrue.

To the naked eye or even a telescope- Saturn continues to be visible as just a. Tiny dot to the human eye? Imagine how earth must look from Saturn. Just a tiny little blue dot probably? Unlikely.

At certain times of the day any sort of blueish hew could suggest oxygen and even h20 may be attainable; at least with he help of some sort of boiling process. A filtration system would make this even easier, in fact. Meaning that simple homemade items and such could provide the necessary means of having procured fresh water. Further delving in of resources suggest that polar ice caps may be forming there as well although, which would suggest that lakes could be found or maybe even a fresh water springs inside of caves could be possible hypothetically. The only way to find a cave though of course, would take a master rock climber and/or cave spelunking enthusiast. in another essay I should attempt to discuss terraforming. Is it just a word? Or is it more a term we should associate with the identification of planetary travel?

Mars has been and continues to be a marvel among scientists and scholar alike, and continues to inspire and baffle many who wish to pursue a career in space exploration or the profession of flying, or piloting a aeroplane(a pilot).

Sisters (Part 1) (18+)

Leto Atreides , F!Reader

Warning : oral sex (female to male), smut, language.

Darkness is the realm you penetrate with confident and silent footsteps, already knowing where to go as well as your Sisters around you. Your nostrils get filled with the old wood and tapistry smell caressing them as you enter the Duke of Caladan's quarters. He is there. Somewhere.

"Your body and soul are shields to House Atreides.

Silence and words are your weapons.

You shall protect father, son, mother, daughter till your life's sunset.

Obedience is the key, discipline is your anthem.

Bring the light from the shadows.

Anonymous and holding their name higher than moutains tops, remain unknown.

Your eyes shall not cross this bloodline's.

Kneel, bow, nod, obey."

You all repeat these tenets, the one guiding your life since you've joined the Blades Sisters Order. Years ago, when Leto Atreides decided to turn it into something... less yet more than what it was. Your elite Order got turned into the ultimate servants of his House. From ruthless assassins shedding blood you turned into spies, protectors of the most powerful family living on this planet. After centuries of existence, this man managed to turn it into his possession. This is how respected he is. And he all gave you the right to dominate the skies by his sides instead of the underground. Anonymity is the only price to accept.

"Sisters," his low voice salutes your blindfolded figures from afar before you, "House Atreides welcomes you back warmly after your mission."

Rare are the opportunities to hear his voice you think sourly as you keep this straight stance. Today he sounds satisfied, this honey-like pitch rolling on his tongue contrasting with the sourness dwelling your throat. You could have done better for yor ruler. You could have brought more info.

He walks between the lines and columns drawn by you and your sisters, his footsteps slow as he enumerates your missions.

So close. So unreachable, yet he is the purpose of your life. Your eyes shall not cross this bloodline's. You wonder what he looks like.

"Sisters. You may be proud of your work." He states by your left with content. "You keep on honoring your Order with success. House Atreides thanks you for your services."

Your Elders told you that Duke Leto is the warmest Caladanian ruler your Order had to serve in centuries. He saved you all from the edge of disappearance. Time and dying traditions were no match to his will to keep you all under his wing. This is how powerful he is.

Comes the moment Leto Atreides stops before you. You feel him. You also feel this urge to be perfect. Are you enough to belong to your Order ?

"Sister," he starts in a low and clear voice, "recite your tenets to me."

"Your body and soul are shields to House Atreides.

Silence and words are your weapons.

You shall protect father, son, mother, daughter till your life's sunset.

Obedience is the key, discipline is your anthem.

Bring the light from the shadows.

Anonymous and holding their name higher than moutains tops, remain unknown.

Your eyes shall not cross this bloodline's.

Kneel, bow, nod, obey."

These words have to get repeated, learned by heart untill getting engraved in your flesh and DNA. You have them all tattooed in the Ancient Words, the alphabet used there so long ago. Coded so they fit in just a few letters.

"Take your clothes off."

Surprise slows your gestures down a little but you still make your thin blue dress slide from your silhouette. It's warm here. Your naked figure doesn't shiver.

"Repeat your tenets again, Sister." He commands softly.

"Your body and soul are shields to House Atreides.

Silence and words are your weapons.

You shall protect father, son, mother, daughter till your life's sunset.

Obedience is the key, discipline is your anthem.

Bring the light from the shadows.

Anonymous and holding their name higher than moutains tops, remain unknown.

Your eyes shall not cross this bloodline's.

Kneel, bow, nod, obey."

Words leave your lips confidently. You know your tenets you feel them your experience them day after day. They are a part of you.

"You are the one that grabbed my whole attention, Sister." He whispers. "As deadly and beautiful as a blade freshly sharpened. Discreet in the dark, glowing under both sunlight and moonlight."

Your breath stops as his fingers swallow your cheek, followed by his warm and smooth palm rubbing this side of your face. Perhaps you should remain stoic. But you can only follow his motions a bit, turning your head to welcome his touch further. He remains silent, the only sound made being his skin against yours. Your Sisters remain blind and silent around you.

"Do you know the Dukedom Right, Sister ?"

This time this sends a shiver down your spine. You know those erased words that got abandoned just a few decades ago. Maybe nine decades.

"Under any circumstances," you say as he starts running his fingers gently through your hair, "kneel, bow, nod, obey, you shall do it you your Lord."

Time and quest for morality erased most of this last tenet, not liking the undertone laying in these words. How many Dukes, sometimes Duchesses used your Sisters as deadly harems ? How many Atreides bastards keep on crossing the Caladanian ground ? This got called the Dukedom Right. The right to have its way with a Sister or more, either to congratulate her or to honor the Order. Comes the price of remaining blindfolded in presence of your own children or him. Your eyes shall not cross this bloodline's.

You swallow hard as you feel hands holding your head. However this warm breath against your lips is not a threat.

"You know it." He states simply. "Would you be willing to follow it ?"

You feel your Sisters' attention focused on you, you can feel their minds racing at his words, you feel this tension rising. This tenet got considered as immoral, disgusting, as treating warriors like cattle waiting to get their calf. Maybe it is. You don't know. What you know is that this man never used it. He never abused his power over any of you. He never abused his power over anyone.

"Sister." He says softly. "Do you wish to follow it ? You and you only. Once. Only kneeling."

"I do my Lord. Kneeling."

Such a thing shouldn't make you feel honored you suppose. Yet, you kneel slowly, wetness forming between your thighs. A hand strokes the top of your head in a soothing gesture before you hear him unbuckling his belt.

"Please know -as well as your Sisters- that this is not a way to humiliate you. I have no reason to do so. And even, this wouldn't be done this way."

Your lips remain closed as you feel something warm and wet getting against them.

"Keep them closed, Sister." He mumbles as he rubs the tip against your mouth. "Keep them closed for now."

The weight and hardness of his fully erected cock rubs your face. Your cheeks, your nose, your chin. You feel his balls shortly against your mouth when he thrusts gently up your forehead.

"Open."

It's been a while since his latest relationship you think as you feel one of his testicles in your mouth. You start sucking slowly, wet sounds audible for everyone in his chambers. It's more similar to kisses as you take care of it dutifully. Your hands grab his thighs, his firm thighs as the weight of his thick cock remains on the side of your face.

"You deserve all the honors of this world." He praises as he strokes your hair. "Keep going Sister."

Your peers know you. This is the only thing preventing them from pouncing on the Duke to slit his throat open. The only thing stopping them from stopping his heart from beating. The only detail making his murder impossible.

You keep on sucking his balls. Youw want to please him. This is one of the reasons maintaining you alive. Your life doesn't have much more meaning that serving your ruler despite your Order. Your Sisters always ramble about how powerful they are, and independent. But really, are they as powerful as this man ,? Are they even as benevolent as this man.

"Suck on it harder Sister" he commands as he pulls on your hair.

You obey as you close your eyes behind your blindfold. You swallow the salted taste of hos cock as you try to keep your thought straight. What is above what else ? This Duke is influential enough to bring your order to ashes. But at the same time your Order, RIGHT NOW, could kill him, is waiting for any sign from you to make it stop. No need to see you sucking on his cock. Your Sisters don't need help.

"Shit" your ruler groans as you feel his seed flooding your mouths. "Shit you're good at this."

Were you acting as a whore, you ask yourself as you stand up, his warm seed drooling from the corner of your mouth.

"Sisters. You can get back to your barracks." The Duke states as you feel the firm cheek rub on your left.

There is nothing more, you think as you swallow his seed while walking out his quarters, your hands putting your dress back on your body. Nothing more that the feeling of having been chosen by hisprimal tastes.

Snippets of Yaban-hime

The stupid dwarf jumped behind Iida's powerful legs. He squeaked an apology Shouto couldn't hear. His blood was pumping too loudly. Murderous red drowned his vision. His fist were clenching so hard his nails were breaking his skin but he couldn't feel it. He could only feel the fire burning inside of him ; the heat so unbearable it needed to go out.

The little coward would burn so easily. Shouto only needed a flick of a finger. The Army wouldn't loose much ; the dwarf was expendable. Just like all the knights, really. And everyone, everyone in this fucking castle knew not to mention, not to compare Touya and him. The dwarf was asking for it.

"Your Highness…" Delicate fingers hovered near his burning cheek. A soft cooling breeze swipped accross his smoking skin. The heat slowly damped. Grey took over his vision again and Shouto took a shuddering breath.

He hated Touya, but he hated loosing control even more. The Light's blessing was nothing but a damned curse. No one knew how disgusting the half of his face could turn, how demonic he could look, how demonic they could look. Not his mother, not Natsuo, not Fuyumi, but his father, Touya and him.

//

Was it a fucking joke ??? Yes, his mother came from a tribe but she came from a tribe that surrendered a long time ago. The moutain tribe his father was talking about had been a torn on their side since the war !! They never accepted their people's defeat and were clinging so hard onto their last speck of land no Gingan person had been able to enter their tiny territory yet.

The few knights who actually did never came back out alive. Their bodies were found days after, the state of it so gruesome they couldn't be recognized anymore.

"...How..."

Shouto couldn't understand how that decision had been made.

His father hated that tribe and the hate was mutual. Shouto had never seen them but he had heard about them from his knights, and from his siblings. Touya and Natsuo had actually been sent to that mountain to deal with the problem but Touya had nearly died, even with the strengh of his blue flammes, and Natsuo still had nightmares about the tribe's leader's crazy bloodlust.

"Sneaky little shits.", Touya had said while grinning like the maniac he was. "Fucking animals. One of their runt actually bit me."

HASO, “In the Ambience.”

Had a conversation on discord last night where I became aware that I left Sunny and Adam’s interactions at a place where it was sort of nervous and awkward. So thank you DZ for talking that through with me.

I am not really well versed in writing relationships, and I didn’t want it to overshadow the rest of my writing, so I pulled back from it, but I think I pulled back too hard. So if you care about the Sunny/Adam dynamic, I wrote a story this morning to acknowledge that. Hope you like it, and I hope you all have a great day. 

She got up in the dark, with only the dim ambience of soft blue lighting to accompany her. She stretched all four arms, and rolled her neck. It struck her as mildly interesting in that moment, how something so small could connect them to humans, The thought was fleeting as she took another step forward to kneel down on the floor. There, in a little alcove in the wall, she had set a volcanic rock from Anin, dried moss, and other paraphernalia from her home world. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath resting her hands together.

Praise and respect to the spirits of Anin. Praise the fathers and mothers of war gone to their rest below the moss and the earth. Praise their spirits that watch from the sky and peer through the ether down upon us.

She continued the slow mantra in the style of Prayer learned from Naktan and pulled her concentration to her core ignoring anything and everything around her. A deep state of meditation overtook her. She would never have done this if she  thought there were any chance that she was in danger, but below she knew Earth glowed like a sphere before their orbiting ship. There was no worry of invasion.

She thought she heard something at one point, but chose to ignore it as she continued her mantra.

Eventually, and after an unknown amount of minutes, she stood and turned slowly to find-

She stopped, and crossed her arms over her chest.

“What are you doing.”

Adam burrowed his way further down into her blankets nuzzling his head up against her pillow, “So warm, and comfy!”

She tried not to smile, “You dumbass.”

He pulled the blankets tighter around himself, “You know, I did come here to talk to you, but I actually really am comfortable, so come back in two hours.”

“I-”

He closed his eyes and pretended to snore loudly.

She rolled her eyes as she watched him theatrically pretend to sleep. She looked around mildly for a moment before picking up another pillow and glancing at the door. She casually walked over, dropped the pillow on his head and then held it down as if she intended to smother him.

That got him up and moving.

Before long the two of them were grappling for the upper hand, him trying to put her in a choke hold, and her using her lower arms to pinch him.

He yelped, “Ouch! Pinching is illegal.”

“SIssy.”

He clamped his legs around her lower arms pinning them in place. SHe struggled for a minute and then went limp.

SHe could feel his smug smile, “I win, I beat the saint of Anin. Everyone bow at my feet.”

“You say that, but if this were a real fight, you’re the one with a self destruct button.”

“Self-destruct button…?”

“Meaning if this were a real fight, I would have punched you in the balls.”

“Please don’t”

Finally he let her go, leaving the two of them to lay on her bed, sheets scattered on the floor around them, and her pillows in disarray. Adam put his hands behind his head and sighed.

She glanced over at him, “I don’t suppose you came to just hang out. Here on Admiral-ly business?”

He groaned pulling one of her pillows over his face, “Please smother me for real this time.”

SHe leaned up on one of her elbows, “Why?”

“I don’t wanna be an adult anymore,” She tilted her head to the side watching in amusement as he attempted to throw a childlike tantrum, but only really had the energy to kick his feet once, “It’s boring and lame and they wont let me wear heelies to important meetings…. Children don’t have to pay taxes.”

She laughed, pulling the pillow from his face, “Adam you are many things, but ‘adult’ is not one of them.”

He grinned slightly, “True enough.” He sighed again and rested his head back against the pillows, “I just want to get back to what we are supposed to be doing, exploring the universe and making cool alien friends.” He threw up his hands in frustration, “But Suddenly I find myself embroiled in stupid annoying politics that I don’[t understand, being used by people who are, lets face it, WAY smarter than me, constantly finding myself getting manipulated.”

She huffed, “They aren’t smarter than you Adam, they’re just manipulative, and you aren't.”

He sighed, “Fair enough.” Then he looked at her, bright green eyes reflecting the soft ambient blue light, “I just, I miss this, I miss us, I miss hanging out and doing stupid shit, and all of the things I could do when I wasn’t so important and this operation was smaller.”

She smiled rather sadly reaching one hand over for his, lacing the four of her fingers through the five of his, “Well someone has to do the hard things, who better than you.” 

He glanced over at her raising an eyebrow, “Or you, miss saint”

She rolled her eyes again, “Can’t seem to get you off of that. I’m still the same person I used to be.”

“But with power.”

She elbowed him gently and he grinned, “But really, I am proud and impressed and…. Let's be honest super super smug that ‘I’ know you personally.”

“I know, I am pretty terrific.”

The two of them laughed for a minute before settling down again. He glanced over to her little shrine on the wall, “What were you doing just then?”

She looked up at the ceiling, following the lines of metal and rivets with her eyes, “Praying to the spirits of Anin.”

Embarrassed, he shifted, “I didn’t know you were….. Well I didn’t think you were all that religious?”

SHe shrugged, “Don’t feel bad, it’s sort of a new thing. Back before all this, it was sort of just stories to me. Like I believed it because that was what everyone believed, but I didn’t really accept it, or feel it the way I do now. After everything with my mother, it was hard to feel connected to something I felt I wasn’t a part of….. But then after visiting my mother, after becoming a saint for a religion I never really followed…. Well it started to make more sense. It feels real now in a way that it never did.” She turned to look at him, finding him watching her, the UV blue stripes in his skin glowing blue.

“I believe in the spirits of Anin more than I ever have.”

He smiled at her and squeezed her hand, “I’m glad to hear it.”

They lapsed into silence for a long moment staring up at the ceiling before, inevitably he broke it, “So this makes you like, space Moses.”

She frowned and turned to look at him, “What is a Moses?”

He grinned, “A guy from one of the Earth Religions. You know guy follows god’s directions to lead his people away from slavery, climbs a moutain, recieves the word of god, comes down to give it to the people, that sort of thing.”

Sunny tilted her head slightly to the side, “Are you religious?”

He paused, frowning, “I…. well I…. don’t really know. My family has been some flavor of Christian for a long time.”

“Christian?”

“Uh yeah, The general idea is that there is one all powerful deity who created everything. He has rules and laws that you are supposed to follow, The general tenants of this specific religion mostly boil down to, love everyone and don’t be a dick, which humans are notoriously bad at. You sin you go to hell, a very bad place after you die, and if you are a good person you go to heaven. Problem is everyone is a sinner and breaks the rules, so really no one was going to get into heaven.”

“That sounds bleak….”

“Well that's where the other stuff comes in. Basically this all powerful deity sent down his son in human form to live a perfect life, so when he was martyred he took on the sins of all of humanity and paid for them in the greatest act of mercy to open the gate for the rest of us into heaven.”

Sunny shifted as he tilted to the side to lay in the crook of her arms, “Of course that is just one religion among tons on earth, we aren’t really as cohesive in our beliefs as Drev are….. As for me…. I’m not really sure.”

She tilted her head to the side, cheek resting against his hair, “After seeing space, I become more and more convinced of some….. Thing that created everything, but beyond that it's sort of a tossup.”

She ran one hand through his hair, course but still soft somehow.

“You know my name comes from that religion.”

She turned her head to look at him, “Oh.”

“Adam was the first man.”

“WHat do you mean.:”

Adam shrugged, “He was supposedly the first man that god created, from the dust of the earth…. I think?”

She gave him a sidelong glance, “Look, and you get to be the first idiot in space.”

He snorted and poked her in the ribs.

“There were PLENTY of idiots in space before me, believe you me.”

“Mmm I don’t know, you are pretty dumb.”

He laughed, grabbing a pillow and hitting her with it. She rolled over so she was lying on top of him and then went limp.

He struggled, “Get your big ass off me.”

“Oh no, I have been attacked by a sudden acute case of the, my spine doesn't work anymore disease.”

“If you don’t move, you’ll suddenly find yourself with a case of fist in your face disease.”

She laughed and rolled off him, making su7re the hard parts of her carapace were sticking down for maximum discomfort. 

He grunted.

They returned to lying down next to each other in the half darkness. Sunny reached over and turned on some quiet music in the background as the two of them sat and talked, and laughed.

“I can’t wait to get back to deep space.” He closed his eyes and hummed softly at the thought, “Just the crew and the darkness and nothing ahead of us but an endless frontier.”

Surprisingly, she found the thought to be more than a little comforting, and closed her eyes thinking about the vast reaches of blackness and the endless spinning galaxies. 

“And while we are out we can drop Conn into a pulsar.”

He snorted,

“That billowy bastard would survive and you know it.”

She huffed, “Still though, if I have to hear one more smug lecture how he has a child with you, I’m gonna wring his scrawny neck.”

He grinned teeth flashing blue in the light, “Is someone;.... Jealous?”

Sunny laughed, almost tipping him off the bed and onto the floor with her mirth, “Yes Adam, I am totally jealous, really I am. I mean who wouldn’t want to have a child with YOU, big dumb, dork. Really the perfect place to put my superior genes.”

“Superior genes, says someone who can’t reach the top shelf.”

She kicked him foot clanging off his prosthetic, “I am a foot taller than you.”

He placed his hand next to his ear, “What was that, I can’t hear you over how short you are.”

Sunny shook her head, “At least I have binocular vision and both my knees.”

“And weird neck nostrils, don’t forget about those.”

“Oh yes so I can house them on my face like you and your bigass nose.”

“Low blow, low blow.”

“There are…. Lower things…. I could make fun of.”

He snorted, “Can’t make fun of it if you’ve never seen it. You on the other hand, walking around in the nude.”

“You’re welcome. Who wouldn’t love.” Sse gestured to herself, “This.”

“Mmm yes,.... chitin , very sexy.”

“I am a gift to the universe, and should be appreciated by everyone.” He brushed a hand through his hair, “Well I find that real gifts are gift wrapped, so jot that down.”

“Oh yeah, like a prank gift when you put something lame in a box for something cool.”

He frowned at her, “You wound me,. My feelings are so very very hurt. I might even cry.”

“I drink human tears.”

“That, that’s really gross.’

She laughed and then they lapsed into silence. She could hear him breathing quietly next to her in the darkness, his chest rising and falling under the ambient blue light. She looked across the room to where her saint armor was hanging in it’s climate controlled case illuminated to a pearly sheen.

“Adam.”

“Yeah.”

“You know I’m just kidding about calling you dumb riught.”

“Yeah I know.”

“I’m proud of what you’ve been doing.”

Adam turned to look at her rather incredulous, “Me, of what? I haven’t been doing shit.”

“So we are just going to ignore you overthrowing a maniacal politician while simultaneously piloting a 2,000 year old spacecraft?”

“That was more Conn and Eris than it was me,”

“It was your idea.”

“Lets not forget Admiral Kelly.”

Sunny pulled him closer, “I am sorry, I will not be accepting anything other than you acknowledging that you did a good job.”

“Screw you.”

“You’d like that wouldn’t you.”

He sighed, “You’ve been talking to Ramirez WAY too much.”

She was only slightly smug as she rested her head back against the pillow, “I really should get up and train.”

“We should.”

Neither of them movies.

“Alternatively we could just…. Lay here…. All day and do… nothing .”

She looked up at the ceiling for a long moment and pretended to be in deep contemplation before “Well it’s official, you have convinced me. You and your silver tongue.”

“I am a master negotiator.”

He shifted position putting one arm behind his head, “Think about it, by this time tomorrow we will be back to space exploring and doing what we should have been doing all along. I can’t wait.”

“That makes two of us.”

Burning Blue 1-2

Act 1) The girl with burning eyes

Chapter two: Fire on water

Morax wasn't entirely sure about this. They had brought Liyue home and she was running round the library looking at all the books and statues everywhere. It's not that he was concerned about the damage a child might cause, but rather the child itself. How were they going to take care of her? None of them had ever had a child. The closest any of them had ever had to a child was Mountain Shaper playing with the nearby children and Morax knew that didn't really count. 

"Are you sure you're up to this, Mountain Shaper?" the raven haired god asked his adeptus. 

"My lord, you have no need to worry. I am fully up to the task" 

Morax was glad there was that. Quizhong giggled "You seem to have already grown a soft spot for the little thing" she said, covering her smile with her fan. Morax never fully understood why she did that, he thought that she had nothing to hide when she smiled. 

Mountain Shaper cleared his throat, eyeing the little girl who was curiously peering at the pool of water in the middle of the library, sticking a hand in to grab at a bright red koi fish. (Why they had a koi pond in a library Morax did not know) 

"I am merely doing this out of responsibility. Not because I care for the child" he stated. 

He never really understood why some people insisted they did not like something they clearly did. Was it to hide something? Were they afraid of the object of their affection would get hurt? Were they afraid of judgment? Weakness? Morax didn't understand why openly expressing your love would be embarrassing or weak. On the contrary, the god thought of it as bold. 

A splash was heard as Liyue fell into the shallow pool, Mountain shaper quickly fished the small girl out of the water and brought her to stand on the ledge of the pool. "Hey, don't go around doing that" he scolded.

"I'm sorry" Liyue said sheepishly, pouting and starting to squeeze water out of her dress. Morax could see Mountain Shaper melt and relent, patting little Liyue's head. 

"It's alright. Let's get something for you to wear and fill your stomach up" he picked her up and walked out of the library. Quizhong tried to stifle her laugh as to spare the adeptus his pride. 

"Little Liyue is so cute" she cooed "I'm sure it'll be a delight to have her" the lady of dust said, putting away her fan and tucking it in her robes. 

"Indeed" Morax said "I believe Mountain shaper will raise her well, perhaps she'll soften him up" 

Quizhong sighed "Xiao could use a little softening up to. I think having a child around will be beneficial to everybody. A shame we might have to see her go one day" 

Morax nodded, putting his hands behind his back and looking at the wet spots of floor from Liyue "Yes, it will be. Perhaps she could stay with us for longer..."

Golden eyes not too different from his own looked at him, a small but refined frown sitting on her forehead "Morax, you're not thinking of making her an adeptus, are you?" 

"I will leave the choice up to her" Morax said, raising his hand "My dear friend, we are short in numbers and this war is going nowhere. We need help and I think Liyue is perfect for the role, especially with Mountain Shaper raising her" he reasoned. 

"She's a child" Guizhong reasoned. 

"She will grow and learn to make her own decisions" Morax said back. 

Morax knew what he was suggesting was a bit insane and even came off as evil or manipulative, but he was good intentions. Plus, he was sure he'd do Liyue a favor, mortals always seemed to crave immortality, if anything she'd be lucky. 

"I won't do it right away" he assured his friend "We'll wait and if she doesn't want to, she doesn't want to" 

Quizhong looked at him with furrowed brows, clearly feeling a bit protective of the small child. Morax sighed and strode out of the library, thinking about it. Maybe it was a bit early to assume Liyue would want to be an immortal adeptus, but he saw something in her. She'd be valuable to him. She certainly would....

"-And then Xiao-" 

"Shut up old man!" 

Morax didn't quite know what he walked into when he visited the kitchen for a cup of tea. Xiao had thrown a cookbook at Mountain shaper who was now in his crane form, muffled squawks came out of his beak where a raw fish flopped with his movements, and Cloud Retainer was in her human form watching the spectacle, hand shooting out to protect Liyue from flying objects ever so often. The little girl was dressed in a blue and white dress with her hair groomed and was having what looked like tofu and stir fry, seemingly unbothered by the ruckus. 

"What happened here?" 

Xiao immediately dropped a cabbage he looked like he was a bout to throw at Mountain Shaper, who morphed back into a human and spat a raw fish out of his mouth. 

"My lord" they three adepti said in unison, bowing respectfully to him. Liyue continued to enjoy her meal while Morax cast confused glances at his adepti while he prepared himself some tea. 

"What exactly happened" 

Mountain Shaper and Xiao opened their mouths to speak but Cloud retainer interrupted them. "Mountain shaper was trying to tell the story of the time Xiao went under cover as a woman and wore a qipao. It was quite entertaining" 

Morax his a smile as he recounted the memory of Xiao is a much too short qipao wreaking havoc in a small tavern. It was quite the spectacle. They all shared a good laugh (safe for Xiao who was fuming) until Liyue spoke up. 

"Can Liyue see Xiao-Xiao in a qipao?" 

Morax couldn't help but chuckle at the child's request, Moutain Shaper and Cloud retainer also looked like they wanted to laugh as the young adeptus  fumed at the child. "No you cannot!" 

"Why not?"

"I'm not dressing up as a girl again!" 

Liyue cocked her head "What's wrong with dressing up as a girl? I dress up as a boy sometimes, mother and father say that gender is just an illusion and that it shouldn't keep someone back from expressing themselves. If Xiao-Xiao wants to dress up as a girl Liyue won't judge" she stated, cool and poised. 

The room when silent, as none of the immortals were able to make sense of Liyue's maturity. Eventually, Xiao spoke up. 

"I don't want to dress up like a girl though. I had to for... work related purposes" 

Morax wasn't sure what to make of her maturity. She seemed to value equality, that was important. Her maturity was important as well, if she were to become an adeptus, her advanced understanding could definetly help her. Perhaps, Morax thought, that flame in her eyes burns for justice. Good, he'd need that flame to keep burning, he'd need her with him. 

I know it’s a bit odd how I wrote the adepti’s relationships like a bunch of collage students, but that’s honestly how I see them lol. They all lived together during the war, I think they only split up when they established Liyue lol. I have only shared a room with other people like two times, but I’d honestly try to make the most of it lol, that involves embarrassing stories

Thad is so cute.

[bottomlessabyssposts]

hello!! would it be possible to have a one shot where giyuu is sick but still insists on going for a mission but ends up overexerting himself and gets saved by his s/o or another pillar and he wakes up to an angry and concerned reader! thank you so much!

 bhello !!! It would be my pleasure to write for my baby Giyuu, thank you for requesting !!!💕💕💕💕 I hope you will like it ! 

Warnings : angry reader approaching !! otherwise, cute Giyuu being a baby. Pure fLufF

Everyone said he should rest. He had a beginning of a fever, and being on a snowy moutain certainly will not help. But stubborn little Giyuu did not listen, of course. So here he was, against a demon, breathless.

His vision was getting blurry as the only thing he could see was a dark form with scarlet eyes running straight to him. His nose was all stuffy and he hold the urge to sneeze for so long now. His whole body felt cold and hot at the same time, and an immense headache made him furrow his brows, which only aggravated it.

“Ah, I’m so screwed,” He thought, his hands not even handling his Nichirin Sword correctly. He was so weak, he couldn’t feel anything other than tiredness, and maybe slight guiltiness. If he died, he would left you alone, after all. His heart felt heavy at this thought.

He already could see it ; you, alone, in your house, waiting for Giyuu, smiling while cooking his favourite meal. Oh, how he would miss you cooking…

“I’m sorry, (Name)…” He murmured, feeling the demon’s claws sinking into his flesh, sending electricity through the Water Pillar’s body, making him very much awake. His eyes widened, and his vision cleared. How ironic, the lack of focus was lethal, but just before dying, the Gods gave him his eyes again. He almost laugh at that divine joke.

But his voice stayed in his throat when he saw a flash before his eyes and suddenly, the demon’s head fell from his body, thanks to a neat cut. Giyuu fell on the ground, breathing heavily, and, before losing consciousness, he heard a oh so familiar voice, relief flowing into his whole body.

“Giyuu ! You better not die on me !”

–

“Ah, I’m so screwed.” Was his first thought. 

Giyuu slowly opened his eyes, trying to get used to the way too shiny sunlight. His blue orbs looked at the ceiling, and he felt a great amount of numbness on his left side, where the demon’s claws hit him. Surely Shinobu used painkillers to help him. But it wasn’t his main problem at the moment. His main problem was you. Oh, boy, he knew how angy and worried you were and he didn’t want to deal with that right now. He knew you were in the room, due to the faint noises he could hear.

“You’re awake ?”

Your voice came harsher than he thought, making him slightly wince. The usually expressionless man wasn’t used to your angry voice, because you weren’t easily upset and also simply because Giyuu wasn’t doing upsetting things. So, hearing you actually be angry surprised him, not to say shocking.

He slowly turned his head towards you, and immediatly regretted doing so ; your brows were furrowed into an upset expression, your lower lip sticking out in a cute way, if it wasn’t for the situation. Your arms were crossed together, and you impatiently tapped your foot on the wooden floor. You were silently telling him to explain himself, if there was even an explanation.

“…Hi.” He tried, blinking his eyes twice, almost innocently.

“Hi ? That’s all you have to say ? Have you any idea in what state I found you ? You were almost dying ! What would have happened if I wasn’t there ? I was dead worried because it’s been three days since you last opened your eyes ! Gods, Giyuu !”

Giyuu gently sat up, watching you ramble and throwing your arms in the air. He perfectly understood your position in that, and he felt so guilty for making you worried like that.

“I’m sorry.”

You suddenly stopped and turned to face him, your face relaxing considerably. You looked at him, at his patched up gorgeous face. His eyes bore into yours, and you felt like drowning into them, drowning into a peaceful, deep and mysterious ocean, where treasures had yet to be discovered. You felt your heart beat faster, and you forgot why you were angry in the first place. Giyuu had that kind of effect on you.

“Just…Just don’t do it anymore. I know you want to slay as many demons as possible but… I don’t want you to get killed, you know ?”

“I know, I’m sorry, it won’t happen again.”

His answer let you wordless, as the last drop of anger left your body. You sighed and approached him, encercling him with your arms. You buried your face into his shoulder, relieved to feel him warm again, to hear him speak again. On the other hand, Giyuu let a small smile gracing his face, returning your embrace. He felt at home in your arms. As long as you were with him, he couldn’t care less about a house. He was in your world, a world you only shared with him, where no one besides him could enter, where it was always spring, where the flowers bloomed endlessly, and where the sky was always blue. This world was a secret place for only you and him, this secret happiness and gentleness was only for you two. 

“I love you, you know that ?” You asked, your voice a little muffled. Your grip tightened a bit, as if you were scared of the answer.

“Of course. And I love you too, (Name).”

Yeah, if he was okay, surely you would be, too.

extra !

“I’m okay, now, I can go to a mission now.”

“Oh I think not, sir, you’re not going to any mission until I say so !”

“Don’t you trust me ?”

“I have my doubts, Giyuu.”

“….”

“Come on, don’t make that face, I swear !”

Sure, you still loved each other but oh boy, this was going to be long.

[cursed-saphire-hart]

I noticed that ur monster sona and Tani have markings, but Tanis are her tattoos, do all skinwalkers have that or-?????

Yea, I call them monster marks, I wanted to have sonething unique to my versions of monsters, as sorta a brand.

For monsters like skinwalkers, when they transform into anything or anyone, markings show up and their eye color stays the same, and things like tattoos will became a pattern in their monster forms, or their monster forms will make a pattern.

Other than eye color, skinwalkers are usually natural colors aside from their eyes and tongues, unless the skinwalker has the consciousness to make the choice to change the color.

Like Blue who purposely makes his monster form into more of a wolf man rather than a warped creature. But this is a conscious choice, and not what he would naturally look like.

Just like how Tani consciously returns to mostly how she actually looks, instead of changing her appearance while wearing her pelt. (Aside what using her pelt forces on her physical change, getting taller, her eye color changing and her fangs)

Note:

Blue n Jesse pelts are made up of only wolf skin, n with only one species to take from, have more control, while Tani pelt is a mix of mostly bear, with coyote and moutain lion sewn in, and if she stays a monster too long, her mental state and memories start to become foggy.

Sorry big monster rant.

[dragonairlairgiveaways]

Pokemon eat people?!

Sweet summer child, GF have been talking about that from the beginning lmao. Yes, Pokemon eat people. Or feed off of them, not always entirely gobbled up. Some examples: 

Guzzlord:

I mean... it’s a pretty prominent post-game plot point in SUMO that Guzzlord eats anything, including people such as a previous Faller Looker and Nanu used as bait years ago. Every Pokedex entry aside from Ultra Sun talks about how it’s constantly eating and constantly hungry and will devour whole moutain ranges and cities: Sun: It has gobbled mountains and swallowed whole buildings, according to reports. It's one of the Ultra Beasts.Ultra Moon: An unknown life-form called a UB. It may be constantly hungry—it is certainly always devouring something.

Litwick, Lampent, Chandelure:

Not strictly physically eating but they do basically sap your soul/life energy until you die/ are an empty husk: (Litwick) Black: Litwick shines a light that absorbs the life energy of people and Pokémon, which becomes the fuel that it burns.(Lampent) Black2/White2: The spirits it absorbs fuel its baleful fire. It hangs around hospitals waiting for people to pass on.(Chandelure) White: Being consumed in Chandelure's flame burns up the spirit, leaving the body behind.

Golbat and Crobat

Whilst it applies to the whole line, it’s only ever really played up with Golbat. It’s an absolutely gluttonous vampire bat that over-gorges itself on blood, Crobat has it mentioned in a lesser extent: (Golbat) Sapphire: Golbat bites down on prey with its four fangs and drinks the victim's blood. It becomes active on inky dark moonless nights, flying around to attack people and Pokémon.(Golbat) Moon: Sometimes they drink so much blood, they can't fly anymore. Then they fall to the ground and become food for other Pokémon.(Crobat) Ultra Sun: Its fangs are so sharp, if it bites you in the dark and sucks your blood, you won't notice any pain or realize you've been bitten.

Hydreigon: 

Whilst not explicitly said to eat people, it’s Pokedex entries heavily imply that it can and will when on a rampage: White: The heads on their arms do not have brains. They use all three heads to consume and destroy everything.Black2/White2: It responds to movement by attacking. This scary, three-headed Pokémon devours everything in its path!

Jellicent and Dragalge:

Whilst not related their Pokedex entries both imply pretty much the same sort of thing: they have been known to attack ships entering their territory and said ships aren’t seen again. With Jellicent it’s explicit they devour the life energy of those onboard, but it’s heavily implied to be the case with Draglage since it is a predator.  (Jellicent) Black: The fate of the ships and crew that wander into Jellicent's habitat: all sunken, all lost, all vanished.(Jellicent) Ultra Sun: Jellicent is always hanging around fancy cruise ships and tankers, hoping to drag away its prey.(Dragalge) Y: Tales are told of ships that wander into seas where Dragalge live, never to return.(Dragalge) Ultra Moon: It blends in with seaweed to ambush its prey and then takes them down with a poisonous liquid strong enough to melt metal.

Cacturne: 

Genuinely terrifying in that it just follows people and Pokemon lost in the deserts it inhabits and just waits for them to keel over. Imagine how horrifying a feeling that is, to have this Pokemon trailing behind waiting for you to die. Sapphire: If a traveler is going through a desert in the thick of night, Cacturne will follow in a ragtag group. The Pokémon are biding their time, waiting for the traveler to tire and become incapable of moving.FireRed/LeafGreen: It lives in deserts. It becomes active at night when it hunts for prey exhausted from the desert's heat.

Victreebel

Another case of people straying into their territory and never returning. Only more horrifying because it’s a giant pitcher plant. You are being slowly eaten/digested alive by their acid. Red/Blue: Said to live in huge colonies deep in jungles, although no one has ever returned from there.Yellow: Lures prey with the sweet aroma of honey. Swallowed whole, the prey is melted in a day, bones and all.

This is just the tip of the iceberg, there’s plenty of other Pokemon mentioned to consume people in some way or another, whether it’s physically eating them or draining their body fluids or lifeforce and there’s others that whilst it isn’t outright stated, you can make the assumption they do based on context clues. 

Other delightful ‘mons I didn’t go into detail on: Sandygast/Palossand, Shiinotic, Tyrantrum (fortunately extinct in the wild), Froslass and Glalie, Rampardos (extinct in the wild and also hilarious given it’s based on a herbivorous dinosaur), Drapion, Darkrai, Yveltal, Gyarados and Kyurem. Again, there’s more than that, but they’re some truly LOVELY ones to think about too.

Day 1

2nd part, Time finds a red-haired priestess praying in a meadow at the foot of a mountain and she joins him as his first true follower. [long]

Last part. Next part.

The beautiful, enchanting, meadows that he had spent most of his life in eventually turned to marshes, turned to swamps, turned to deep and ancient forests, the only thing beckoning him onward were the pearly snow-tops of the mountains that were his destination. As the age-old trees began to thin out into long plains, Time's heart stopped as he stood at the feet of the mountains he had been told to venture for. His hair stood on end, a feeling like electricity jumping across his skin, as he stared up at backlit fang. The moon was starting to set, the dark velvet of night making the pale outline of the mountain pop against the black and gold expanse. He had spent his entire existence in some grassy field, sure it had flowers, but that couldn't compare to this. The rolling mist, the cold winds, it felt like the air itself was bleeding power. This had to have been where the Oracle had been intending, he just had to cross the rest of this long stretch of meadow to get there.

Here, Time felt like he was being watched by curious eyes, but he couldn't help but believe that it was simply the breath of the Moutain's heart that was making him feel this way. It had been the same when he met the God of Earth for the first time. Ancient, wise, powerful. The dark god was prepared to simply stride across the entire grassy plain and ascend to the peaks, but as he walked he could feel a strange pull to his left. Pausing, Time took the chance to carefully take in the grasslands to see a small shadow. Humanoid. He felt compelled to speak with them, like this was destiny, Time quietly approached the stranger with purpose.

The closer he got the better he could see them, see her. A lithe woman with long, brilliant red, hair in a neat braid that was settled onto her shoulders. Clothes a vibrant, but pale, religious blue it became quite obvious what he was looking at. A young priestess praying to the stars, something that he had been told was common for those of the old sect. Time cleared his throat, causing the other to startle, before speaking.

"What are you doing out here all on your own, sister?" his voice was not unkind, but she was still tense regardless. No one could blame her, she was alone in the middle of the night and had been walked upon without realizing. The red-haired woman took a deep breath, he could feel her restrained panic on the air from here, before she closed her eyes once again and whispered words he couldn't catch.

"I was asked to come and wait here." she responded, her voice a false calm that he could respect in any mortal.

"And who asked you to do that? The Sect's Father?" his voice humorous, but also amused. She blinked, her eyes were a surprisingly rich blue that he hadn't noticed before. The priestess turned to look at him, though she remained in the kneeling posture that one would expect of a praying human, she had opened her mouth to respond but it seems that something caught her tongue as words refused to come out. Time tilted his head expectantly at her, crossing his arms over his chest and leaning back slightly.

"What, am I not good enough to talk to anymore?" merely a joke, but the priestess jumped to her feet with surprising speed and quickly clasped Time's ruby-ringed hand into both of her's. Those blue eyes had shifted into a look of admiration.... or... devotion.

"You-!"

"-me?"

"You were the one they told me to wait here for, I could never mistake the look of a God for anything else." Wait, what? Since when could mortals identify a God on sight? The woman's hands tightened their grip around his, unconsciously digging her nails into his skin, as she leaned forward much like a curious, awed, child.

"...You were waiting for me?.. Do you even know who I am?" he responded, he couldn't keep the disbelief out of his tone no matter how hard he tried.

"Of course I do, I could never mistake someone like you for anyone else, you are the God of Time." and she was right, it's not like he had introduced himself or given out his name to tip her off to his appropriately chosen path, she just knew.

"Who... who told you to wait here for me?" the woman closed her eyes, still leaning in close like someone might when trying to place a familiar fragrance.

"He said his name was.... Ott'ou, he didn't tell me who he was." Ott'ou, of course, the current God of Time and his uncle. The two of them had never been very close, Ott'ou had always seemed to dislike the idea of having him as a successor and had been quite cold for the majority of his life... why would he possibly send someone here to help him? Had he also heard the Oracle... and if he had why would he help? That would merely weaken the standing of his own son. In Time's confusion, he hadn't noticed the priestess staring at him with interest.

"I was taught the old gods had all left us-" they had, these people hadn't known a god's favor in generations. "-why would someone as perfect and godly as you ever deem to leave your own and walk among us?" a good question, smart girl, but not one he was going to answer.

"What's your name?" topic shift, not even a little subtle.

"I am Robin, do you have another-?"

"I am Time." the look on her face said she probably thought he was merely stating his conceptual being, but his father had really been that unimaginative with his name.

"I am here to raise a new community out of the rubble here, to start a new, you will help me do that won't you?" she seemed to be the affectionate sort, maybe... Time placed his free hand over one of the hands that Robin had been using to hold his with a vice-grip. That got the reaction he wanted; delight, excitement, and a good dose of trusting euphoria.

"Yes! Anything you need, I'm your girl!" she responded eagerly, Time allowed the touch to linger for a few moments more before carefully, neutrally, pulling his hands away from her's. He wanted to step back, get some space, but Robin would probably take that poorly.

"Thank you, Robin, I knew I could count on you." the first follower of, hopefully, many and he hadn't even ascended the mountain yet. Not a bad start.

-

The mountain trek was, obviously, rocky and dangerous. The sharpness, and strange youth, of the mountain making it tough, tall, and unabiding to outsiders. When they had made it to the mountain's foot he had initially thought that Robin would be able to help find a safe path of travel... turns out she wasn't from the mountains either and was equally in the dark on the best way to the summit. They had made good time in the beginning, but Robin being mortal meant that after a few hours of walking up a steep, narrow, path that she was slowing down with fatigue. This, normally, wouldn't have been too much of a bother, mortals needed sleep and food after all, but the prickling of dampness against his skin was making Time impatient. If they didn't move faster they were going to get stuck out in the open in the eye of a storm.

The dark being's eyes were on the mountain, looking up the rocky slope, when a startled gasp returned his attention to Robin just in time to see her slip and nearly throw herself off the path edge. Thankfully, she had gotten lucky and leaned against the fall enough to just have one of her legs hanging off the uneven path, but the fact that she had nearly bit the dust was not lost on the redhead.

"Are you alright?" Time tried to suppress his irritation, it was not her fault she was a mortal after all, as he moved to help the priestess to her feet and dust her off. She was trying not to shake, but Time was not a blind man and she was not good at hiding it.

"Can we... can we take a break?" Robin asked, seems that her fatigue was the reason for her slip up.

"Soon, I promise. It will start to rain soon and we don't want to get caught in it." Robin looked a little disheartened at his words, understandably afraid that her next slip would not end so lucky. Time couldn't blame her, but he could feel the clouds pressing close, they didn't have time to sit around and wait for her to feel better.

"Stay close to the mountain's slope, okay? If you fall I'll catch you." he didn't like walking side-by-side on such a narrow path, but it seemed to make Robin feel better even if she was pressed into the rocky wall a bit. Luck willing, she wouldn't trip up again. The trek up the winding path continued, Time trying to not get too upset with the slow pace they had resumed at. At least they were still moving. But, the rains didn't seem interested in giving them more time to find a cave to cower in, the clouds broke like the tension leading up to a bar fight. Droplets, at first, a light rain, but the downpour took only moments to arrive after. Walking the mountain was already dangerous enough without the slickness of the rocks underfoot to add to the equation. Time didn't like it, but he pressed again the mountain wall around Robin to keep from being close to the slick path-edge. With the rain came the darkening of the sky. Had he pissed off one of the other gods to cause such poor fortune? Now, rather blind, Robin was obviously trying to suppress the panic that came with not bring able to see, being wet, and in being in danger all at the same time.

"It is okay, Robin, you won't slip or fall. I can see just fine, just stay close to me and you have nothing to fear." he assured, allowing the priestess to blindly grab his hand with her shaking one. Mortals. While he hadn't been lying, it was a little bit of a stretch to say he could see 'just fine'. He could see better than Robin, no doubt, but it was still a lot darker than one would prefer when scaling an unfamiliar mountain. Cautiously, Time began to guide Robin along the path once more. The longer they were out here, the more dangerous it would become. Closing his eyes, Time huffed as he placed his free hand onto the mountain's side. He could still feel the looming heart of the landmark, the experience, it would be easy to get lost in such a vast ocean of ether but using the mountain's own being he would be able to find a safe space easier. Robin seemed awfully confused as to why they were waiting now, but her mind ebbed out at Time focused on the rock's essence. Deep breaths, location, looking for deep stab-like marks on the surface.

Opening his eyes once more he turned to look at Robin, it seems he was the only thing she was able to see in the darkness... likely do the natural glow of his eyes. Something that she shared. Ah, Werewolf.

"You do trust me, don't you, Robin?" he could tell that question made her uneasy, but she nodded mutely.

"I know where a cave is, not far from here, but you will have to trust me and follow my instructions. Do you understand?" she nodded again. Time twisted his hand in her's, firmly taking it, before returning to the path with a new purpose. Not far from this path there was an old off-shoot, a part of the path weathered away and now there was only one way to get across. Jumping the distance. In the dark. In the wet. Time didn't like it, but it was the only shelter for hours. It took some coaxing to get Robin to leave the mountain's wall and follow him towards the path, it would take more to get her to blindly jump a distance she couldn't see. Hopefully, she trusted him enough to do so.

"Stop here." he instructed, not that he had any need to she had already almost ran directly into him when he paused.

"We're almost there, but there is a gap ahead that we'll have to cross." he could feel Robin stiffen, her blue eyes staring into the darkness like she was trying to will herself to be able to see what he was talking about.

"How big?" she asked, both hopeful and anxious.

"Big enough that we'll have to jump it."

"In the dark?" fear, disbelief that he was even proposing such a thing. "In the rain?"

"Yes, I'll jump over first."

"I can't see like you can, how will I know how far to jump?" panic rippled across her aura like a tsunami.

"Jump as far, as hard, as you can. I will catch you." she didn't look convinced, Time couldn't blame her.

"This is the only cave for hours more of walking, Robin, every moment we stay out here the paths will get more slick and unstable, you need shelter. This is it. Trust that I will not let you get hurt." the doubt, mostly, evaporated at his words. He was right, she knew he was, she was an exhausted mortal who needed out of the storm before she froze. The priestess swallowed, before nodding. Time clasped both of his hands around the one he had been leading her by, leaning in slightly so she could use the glow of both of their eyes to see how genuine he looked, before removing his hand from her grasp and turning to the broken path. No further hesitation, the young god jumped the gap with a fair amount of ease. The ground was wet, causing him a moment of slide, but no worse for wear he was on the other side. The gap was, about, the distance one could expect most healthy individuals to jump at maximum. But Robin was a priest, Time didn't know exactly how capable she was, so he stepped up to the edge of the gap expecting the worse. Hopefully, her complete blindness and fear would lead to her over-estimating the jump enough to get her over that gap without a problem.

"Your turn now, Robin. We're almost done." he could see, vaguely, through the dark the red-head tensing before taking a few steps back. Was she unwilling? He couldn't blame her if she was, it was a lot to ask for so soon, only a truly devout- the thought cut short as Robin sprinted and lept across the gap with a surprising amount of power. Right, of course, Werewolves were stronger than humans so they could probably jump further, right? Robin over-estimated the jump by a bit, preferable to what would happen if she had done the opposite, causing Time to stumble back a few steps as he caught the mortal and carefully set her onto the ground. Robin would probably have a panic-attack the second they were out of danger, but for the moment she was still steady enough. Time carefully took the priestess's face and lightly pressed a small kiss to her forehead, more like a parent would to a well-behaved child than anything else.

"You did very well, the hardest part is over." Robin was almost glowing with the encouragment, and Time allowed her just a second to bask in it before he pushed her in front of him and pressed her to keep moving. It didn't take long, a few more dangerous moments, before they got to the cave. Thank the stars above, he was quite tired of being a soaking mess. Seeing as she was walking ahead of him, Robin noticed the crevice in the rock before he could say anything.

"Is this-?"

"The cave I mentioned? Yes, it is." she immedietely ducked into it, hands blindly kept to the wall as Time followed into the divet in the mountain-side. Shelter, aquired. Now, he would need to get something to feed a fire... though Robin just looked thankful to be able to sit down out of the rain. She was visibly shaking now, though if it was a delayed panic attack or just the cold setting in he couldn't really tell.

"Are you alright, Robin?" the redhead nodded to his question, deep blue eyes looking up and only finding him by his own glowing orange ones.

"Yes, I never doubted you." Time didn't believe her words, he could see the wavering when he asked her to take that blind leap but considering the circumstances, he couldn't really fault her for it.

"Thank you for trusting me, I know I was asking a lot of you very quickly." a pause a he looked out of the cave mouth, back at the storm.

"I need to look for some supplies, a cave alone does not a shelter make, I'll be back." Robin got up at his words, looking as if she intended to follow him but Time crossed the cave with a tsk and put his hands onto her shoulders to force her to sit back down. Something she complied with, albeit reluctantly.

"Stay here, I will be back." she frowned but nodded, whispering a quiet 'be safe' to him as he left the cave once more.
