#but with black cape and dreadlocks

[robinlmaoo]

stealthy and seed!! they met when seed found stealthy in the wasteland with a hurt leg, and healed them :)

stealthy annoys the seed a lot with their reckless and loud personality (and apparent obliviousness to imminent danger), but the seed cant leave them because they have a moral obligation as a healer to stay with and take care of their patient! though theyre secretly amused by, and admire the survivor’s daringness and boldness :)

This has been stirring in my head since now-

Can I request romantic headcanons with either Pierce, Ash or Rhys with a male daemon S/O who’s noi’s younger sibling. They had similar personalities, but after some events they’re the opposite.

Like they went from sweet and loving to closed off and aggressive, he acts as if he’s ava’s bodyguard in a way always trying to protect her. They’ve have also been on earth a month longer than the group since he left on his own a month prior to them having find a new place to inhabit

(This idea has no reason to be make me smile so badly)

Summary: Romantic head cannons with either Pierce, Ash or Rhys with a male daemos S/O who’s noi’s younger sibling who left them. They had similar personalities, but after some events they’re the opposite of what they use to be. They went from sweet and loving to closed off and aggressive, he acts as if he’s ava’s bodyguard in a way always trying to protect her. They’ve have also been on earth a month longer than the group since he left on his own a month prior to them having find a new place to inhabit

You returned late at night after working it was draining living as a human but you got into their customs easily some stuff still made you confused but you got into it. This place earth was hard to adapt but it would work yes there were humans many supplies of energy and magic for years but it wasnt worth it maybe others would learn like you have.

So here you were successfully finding the new place earth able to adapt ava helped you out as you were panicked and confused after everything that happened to you and how Ava cared for you when you were in pain and rare act from daemos was shocking yet you were quick to understand the cultures were different. Ava helped you get a job as a blacksmith which you enjoyed since you didnt get hurt at all when crafting.

Your heart nearly leapt out of your chest when seeing the door open it was night but as soon as you slammed the door open you saw ava help a guy hand out blankets to other men in the room. All having horns and medival like armour- no it cant…

“The human has brought back up!” A boy with orange hair with yellow and orange horns pointed before freezing “[Name]…?” The wide eyes you had staring at them “Noi… what are you doing here” he looked at the others.

The famillar apperances. How your eyes land on a man with raventte hair eyebrows furrowing smelling the famillar scent as his eyebrows furrowed as he summoned fire from his hand as you glared “Didn’t expect this” you uttered staring at the males famillar figure.

Asch is medium skin, black hair and eyes, and horns that grow from the front of his head, and curve upward the a golden band around his left horn. His black skintight armor, along with a fluffy red and cream cape that is hooked on by a silver clip around his neck. Asch is symbolizing tattoo on his right arm, along with a golden band/bracelet and bandages. On his left arm, the silver and navy armor on and strapped red belt.

Rhys stood beside Asch with wide eyes is warm-toned skin and deep blue eyes. His dark brown hair is styled in short dreadlocks. The dark blue horns atop his head curve inwards and point out. The black skin-tight armor along with a blue amulet on a chain around his neck. His coat is blue with light blue designs and golden trimmings. His wrists are covered by maroon bandages. His belt consists of red fabric and beige ropes.

Pierce sitting on a seat gripping his sword a light blue claymore sword that has a dark blue handle. His tan skin, dark brown hair in a low ponytail, blue eyes, and ombre from dark blue to light blue horns that grow from the sides of his head and curve upwards, black skin tight armor, along with a robe that is light blue with black and white details. He also has a light periwinkle belt. On his right arm, Pierce has a tattoo that spans his entire shoulder and steel armor on his forearm. His left arm is covered by one of his sleeves, with a navy-colored pauldron. He wears a dark blue bracelet on his left wrist. His eyes stare back at you slightly having eyebrows furrowed while you take a step back.

You glanced over seeing leif is wide eyes “No way…” before he grinned Leif is same old tan skin, white hair, and teal eyes, along with a scar on his right eye. He has sharp, shark-like teeth. He has two green horns that curve out of his head upward. He wears black skintight armor, with grey and green armor/cloth, a yellow rope around his hips, and armored arms as he held his two scythes in his hand “Your alive!” He laughed

Noi stared at You with shaky pupils “[Name]” “Lay another hand on Ava I will have your head” You stated Noi looked abit more grown up since you last saw him his pale skin, salmon-colored hair, and amber eyes, along with two small orange horns that point directly upwards. Noi now wore a collared navy and orange short-sleeved shirt, and his right arm has white and orange bandaging, while his left arm has grey and orange armor. Noi's belt is white, as well. Noi wears orange pants, with grey and brown armored boots. He is also much shorter than the rest of the Deamos but taller than Ava which was nice to know he had a growth spirt before you left.

You glanced towards Ava who spoke “[Name]” she walked over “lets go to my room” you glared at the group cursing quietly “they should not be here they are bad” you scowled at her as she whispered “I took you in here when you were on the street I let them come in and stay-“ “they are calling you prisoner” you deadpanned as she chuckled looking away “My room” she gestured as she went in as you stared at her before turning your head to the group as you sighed pushing your hair back “You aren’t suppose to be here any of you” “says the traitor” Leif stated “I don’t expect a former assassin to know shit when he got left behind” Leif scowled as you let your horns appear with a swift motion of your hand and pointed to asch “Lay a hand on her and your dead” as you walked backwards into ava’s room glaring at the group.

Prince Asch

- You... YOU TRAITOR! Leaving daemos and now being like this! how dare you defy him-! YOU WERE HIS SOON TO BE HUSBAND

- You angered him once by leaving him alone by himself for YEARS alone yet here you were beside the new prisoner staring at them all with anger - The way you wouldn't let them get near her protecting the 'Prisoner' you were loyal to her staring down the group when they got too close. - When Ava let them stay you were quick to try convincer her to leave them to rot but she denied it saying how when you came to find help she helped you get accustomed to the world - Since it's 1 day on earth its 3 days for daemos so you would have been gone for so long - The way you protected the 'prisoner' made his heart swell up as his threats were harsh to Ava yet you were so quick to smack his hand away from trying to burn Ava - Asch was quick to notice how fast you were to try harm him when trying to harm ava as the others went to protect Asch but the way he saw your eyes not falter staring at him like he was the enemy he couldn't help but suck in a breath - You were different from who you were last time where you matched noi's energy due to being siblings and well helping him grow up since you both were bound by blood Noi is personality kindness everything that was deemed as weakness in daemos was taught by you - So seeing the burn mark of your neck from when you two fought from a couple days before you left made him falter slightly as the skin looked like leather yet the pigment was slight different to your s/c skin - The way your personality shifted too intrigued him as how hostile you were to not only the prince but also placing a blade to his neck as he had his hand on fire still close to your face ready to attack like you. Hurting the prince is an act of Treason - Rhys was quick to diffuse the situation but Asch thought ava had put some sort of spell the Prisoner Sorceress must have done something to you but the way you acted like when you were on daemos with him was the way you were acting with Ava - You cared for her and Asch couldn't help but watch his scowl deeper. How DARE you not only leave him not only hold a HUMANS hand you were together you were going to be BOUND together - You angered him once by leaving him alone by himself for YEARS alone yet here you were beside the new prisoner staring at them all with anger - The way you wouldn't let them get near her protecting the 'Prisoner' you were loyal to her staring down the group when they got too close. - When Ava let them stay you were quick to try convincer her to leave them to rot but she denied it saying how when you came to find help she helped you get accustomed to the world

- Since it's 1 day on earth its 3 days for daemos so you would have been gone for so long - The way you protected the 'prisoner' made his heart swell up as his threats were harsh to Ava yet you were so quick to smack his hand away from trying to burn Ava - Asch was quick to notice how fast you were to try harm him when trying to harm ava as the others went to protect Asch but the way he saw your eyes not falter staring at him like he was the enemy he couldn't help but suck in a breath - You were different from who you were last time where you matched noi's energy due to being siblings and well helping him grow up since you both were bound by blood Noi is personality kindness everything that was deemed as weakness in daemos was taught by you - So seeing the burn mark of your neck from when you two fought from a couple days before you left made him falter slightly as the skin looked like leather yet the pigment was slight different to your s/c skin - The way your personality shifted too intrigued him as how hostile you were to not only the prince but also placing a blade to his neck as he had his hand on fire still close to your face ready to attack like you. Hurting the prince is an act of Treason - Rhys was quick to diffuse the situation but Asch thought ava had put some sort of spell the Prisoner Sorceress must have done something to you but the way you acted like when you were on daemos with him was the way you were acting with Ava - You cared for her and Asch couldn't help but watch his scowl deeper. How DARE you not only leave him not only hold a HUMANS hand you were together you were going to be BOUND together

- Though out of everything Asch couldn't help but miss you which is vulnerability yet he couldn't help but miss the way you smiled at him... how you held him close - Asch noticed from the corner of his eyes how noi is body froze entirely fists clutched - After awhile of them staying you still were protectiv over Ava and Asch would still call her prisoner but wouldn't harm her - He couldn't help but try compliment you from what he learned from the man on the magic mirror in the living room - You helped them all accustom to the changes on earth - Asch though tried to rebuild your relationship no matter how much it hurt to see the way you'd back away from hsi flamed slightly something you used to admire - Every time though he tried to threaten ava with his power you'd step in though still afraid of the flames in his palm but held your head high - After awhile Asch got close enough to you like before though the smile you had before still wasn't on your lips only a closed lip one was all he could get - He didn't care yes he still had his anger issues but you still knew what to do to relax him even after from how long you were gone you still knew how to take care of him like Rhys... more then Rhys - He stared at you holding your hand even if Asch wanted to marry 'princess' ava he kenw his heart didn't feel right as he gripped to your hand like you'd leave again - it was a habit now he would hold onto you like you'd leave him again betray him all over again... - It took him so long to get over you took him so long to trust you again so long for you both to be back in eachothers arms and he didn't need you to leave his arms again yet he knew what would happen if you met your demise once back in daemos.

General Pierce

- Pierce doesn't speak much and it was known it was always hard to get him to speak up but when he saw you he couldn't help but loosen his grip on aphmau lightly - He wondered why you weren't hugging him smiling to see someone you were close to where you both were close to being bound to eachother as partners - The others were shocked to especially when you were defending aphmau with your life REALLY WITH YORU LIFE threatening the prince was an act which could get you killed - He stared as he let go of ava setting her down and pattered her head this was a gesture he learnt from you. When you'd comfort the smaller daemos children and Noi in when they have failed or gotten hurt - Asch would tell you off yet he'd also be a victim to how you consoled him rubbing your hand on his hair. Pierce had one of the moments where after training he was more tense due to the royal court killing a daemos child - You consoled him by patting his hair as you did to the others Asch was even effected by the death because the child harmed the human soul without knowing the reason why yet this was when they were still under asch is fathers hand.

- Pierce was quick to notice how fast you were to try harm asch he whipped out his sword and held it against your throat as you didn't falter - You were different from who you were last time your sweet smile was gone as it was a permanent scowl staring them down like they were monsters something Pierce hated to see - So seeing the large scar from your eyes to your lips as it made him grip tighter to the handle of his weapon as a scar ran from your ear to your lips a large scar that was slowly healing - A scar that marked the day where you were running to leave daemos one of ashes knights who betrayed the kingdom killing one of the humans souls and taking it leaving one one human left alive as the kingdom hoped to keep the last soul safe while chasing down the Daemos Knight - Pierce was close to having your head to kill you on the spot like he did all those years ago to a human that called him a monster. that daemos were deemed as monsters to those who were killed by there hands... - Pierce had you that day yet he couldn't help but stare at you and falter the moment he saw your eyes with a look that he saw years ago hostility yet it still lingered with fear - As soon as pierced raised his sword he saw your quick movement to move back as he didn't hesitate slicing from your ear to your lips as he paused seeing the drop of a liquid drip from your s/c skin as your horns glowed as a scream ruptured from your throat of pain and agony as you held your eye as Pierce froze seeing the one who he deemed close to his heart hurt by his hands. - Seeing you there infront of him fine but protecting a human life on the line - Ava didn't know and she didn't need to know why you held her close to your heart like she'd leave when glaring the others - You and Him were an iconic duo as before Leif became the second strongest in the group you were on par with Pierce in a fighting situation yet he noticed how you were more muscular defined features as you glared at him - Though Pierce noticed Noi is shaky pupils staring at his sibling with wide eyes - Pierce would try get closer to you like in the past where you would do stupid things when on duties with him - He would stand by you keep quiet as he would try to get you to touch him like you use too - He would always stare at your hand the entire time or at your eyes yet he was still stuck with the horrid memories of you screams the day he hurt you - It took awhile but he still couldn't get you to laugh to smile like you use to for now the rare moments he did get you to react were small but he will continue trying to have you smile and laugh like you use to - He would reach out to touch you in some moments where he thinks you'd be comfy with it but noticing how your quick to go hostile made him stop - Though he noticed how you would stare at him if he did you habit to comfort or soothe someone which were small pats to the head which he noticed you let out a small laugh which he smile slightly at - when you got closer once more still not showing much as you use to he still is trying to redeem himself in your eyes holding you close in his arms tightly he can't do what he did before not ever again to someone he loves

Royal Advisor Rhys

- Rhys would instantly panic mentally but have a calm composure when seeing you but you turning on your own people having a blade to Prince Asch is neck?? - DID YOU HAVE A DEATH WISH!? - The others were shocked but Rhys? he was gonna start aging faster then lady grandma as you holding a blade to the prince is neck was an act of treason ESPECIALLY THREATNING TO SLICE HIS NECK! - Rhys was always thinking mentally but in the situation where you were in-front of him he was impulsive as fuck staring from afar before he diffused the situation in a quick pace yet he noticed your guard was still up - When it was done Rhys was so quick to ask you questions grabbing your arm happy to have a daemos with them but pausing seeing how your ripped your arm from his hand he paused seeing the white or grayish, purplish-yellow skin area on your arm and finger tips as he paused when he remembered the lingering feeling from where your skin that felt abnormally firm or waxy in his grasp as he stared at your arm - He pursed his lips remembering how in mid argument with rhys before you left where he gripped onto your arm tightly that he accidently left you with permanent damage of frostbite - He couldn't help but bite his lip pausing as he tried to keep his calm composure to pursued you to help them - How he wish he didn't lash out on you for telling him you will be gone for awhile with a reason for all of daemos to show that kindness will take you far - Rhys told you off many times for being selfless yet the time you were selfish made his body clench up when they were told to hunt you down. One of Asch is royal guards betraying the royal family not only that BUT TAKING THE LIFE OF ONE OF THE LAST HUMANS SOULS! - The male was panicking biting his lip when the situation occurred as he made sure to try bring you back so when Pierce had you in a moment you screaming got him to find you but seeing pierce stand there watching you escape through somewhere and vanishing Rhys was quick to act out his calm demeanor vanishing - He shouted at Pierce for letting you go yet he didn't ignore the blood on pierce is blade he belittled the general for being incompetent yet he couldn't help but let out a breath of relief mentally that he didn't see your dead eyes - With the current situations with the prisoner from what asch called the human sorceress you would speak up for her and tell her how bad these 'people were' but how ava was able to touch you where he couldn't he sucked in a breath as she was able to relax you but still were defensive on the situation - Rhys would ask you questions and you'd give back cold answers making him try work harder to understand with limit access to information he'd ask you more then Ava due to well you could explain it better to him you both were close before - Both of you were close before partners in well being the royal advisor and one of asch is trusted knights but both of you were close as you would listen to him talk about his studies as he'd listen to your rambles - He loved when he studied and you'd style his hair in different ways with the cornrows as he enjoyed your touch and how you would add small charms and beads on it but now since your touch was gone he had to do it himself - Though he would never let anyone else do it only you and him he couldn't add trnkets or beads to it as he felt it wasn't exactly right - He would stare at the small box in his room where it was covered in dust and at the many items that would decorate his hair with the beads and small trinkets - He knew you being kind was a weakness you showed sides of yourself which made you a good and easy target for being 'weak' to other daemos yet you were on par with pierce in strength - Rhys would try to bond with you like you use to as best he could and try squeeze info out - Rhys was intelligent and knew your limits but as he tried to talk to you like he use to how you scowled at him he went to his formal tone yet he had to hold his breath when you sneered at him

- You and Rhys were always staring each other down as rhys would try to keep you close to him by his side or help him learn something since you both were quick learners but it seems with how you changed you were quicker to act - Rhys would try to see your smile every time he found something new he learnt like he use to on how you both would celebrate with new discoveries and studies but all he would get was a grunt that made him take in a sharp inhale before he would continue to try talk to you about it due to missing your familiar praise - Though out of everybody he knew how Noi had the most effect on seeing you due to seeing the yellow horned daemos who wanted to rush over to you yet leif held him back which Rhys noticed on how he was mostly affected by it with the shaking fists and hands with noi's wide eyes too yet Rhys couldn't compare to what Noi must be feeling but he knew how much Rhys needed you again in his arms - You were so close and held each other in small moments even when reading or doing your own things - He would have leif try to heal you a small amount yet your scars were still there no matter what a permanent damage that you didn't want leif to heal even when Rhys said that it would be good for you yet you denied - Trying to re-establish your relationship was hard yet he earned some trust back with you - He couldn't help but smile when in the middle of trying to fix his hair in the living room while conversing with Asch on the floor sitting on cushions you sat behind him and started to undo his hair for him - It was a little thing but he knew that he was slowly progressing and he didn't want you to go away and leave him alone not again even if you betrayed the kingdom and him he still missed you and won't ever want you to leave him again...

Girls! Did one of you hide my mask? I need it to complete my dramatic and spooky appearance!

It’s a good thing I am not bound by the laws of gravity. Otherwise I wouldn’t be able to reach the top shelf!

Mwahahaha! Beware the Phantom of the Opera! *Giggling before giving a shy smile* See? I can be scary when I want to.

No need to fear, my fellow thespians of DuPont. The Phantom shall guide you once again.

(Humming a soft song) It’s okay, Ivan, everything is fine. You will never be a beast or frightening to me.

Not good at taking pics but here's my sky kid! Couldn't decide if I wanted to go with the dreadlocks with the beads or tied up. Got my black rainbow outfit with the journey cape. And my little crab friend on her shoulder. She's an older sky kid but also really shy. Loves to just chill and watch the sights in Aviary Village.

How colorful! and the little guy on the shoulder is sooo adorable!

Miraculous Descendent Chapter 64: Horror Movie

Previous Chapter

Another day another dollar. A new day a new opportunity. What you do today can improve your tomorrow. There are multiple sayings to reference working hard for your future. And that's exactly what the class is doing with their weekend. Today. Everyone in Miss Bustier's class is helping Nino create a movie for a film contest. Even Chloe showed up because Miss Bustier promised extra credit for everyone who helps, and Chloe is interested in being the lead actress.

Mylène and Kim are hiding behind Miss Bustier's desk with water guns.

"Agent Smith, it's too dangerous! We must evacuate!" Kim urgently shouts as he looks at Mylène

"You're suggesting we run, Officer Jones? After it devoured my family, friends, and even my beloved dog, Sniffles?" Mylène asks with dramatic indignity as she glares at 'Officer Jones' for his supposed cowardice.

She then stops crouching and looks around the classroom angrily while saying.

"I'm going to face it, then I'll-"

However, her words are cut off when she feels someone looming over her. She nervously looks up and sees Ivan wearing a magenta cape with a mask that covers his head. The mask has three painted yellow eyes with red pupils. Two eyes are cut open to make eyeholes for Ivan, leaving only the third eye on the forehead visible. Also attached to the costume are fake dark blue dreadlocks.

Ivan roars at her, and it causes Mylène to let out a scream that everyone in school would have heard if it wasn't for the fact that it was the weekend and the class were the only ones there. Unfortunately, the entire class and Ondine are in the classroom and take the full brunt of Mylène's terror. 

"Cut!" Nino shouts over Mylène's scream as he covers his ears to drown out the sound.

It takes everyone a moment to recover from the scream. When they do, Mylène is hiding under the desk with a look of pure terror and violently shaking.

Ivan winches when he sees her current state.

"Sorry, Mylène." He says with a deeply regretful expression as he takes off the mask.

Nino, however, looks frustrated as he looks at Mylène while the girl nervously lifts herself from under the desk.

"That's our tenth take, Mylène. And this is only the first scene!" Nino shouts this last part for emphasis, causing Mylène to flinch.

"Fourteenth." Alix boredly corrects Nino while holding a clapperboard.

"Come on, you can't blame her for being freaked out when you're using a real monster. I mean, it was a smart choice. It adds a bit of authenticity to the film." Chloe takes this chance to mock Ivan while sitting on one of the back corner desks and filing her nails.

Hearing this causes Ivan and a few others to glare at her angrily.

"Big talk for someone who also got Akumatized!" Alix snaps at her while wearing the jacket Marinette made for her.

The jacket is dark magenta with a black chest. On the right side of the chest is a dark magenta A insignia for Alix. When Marinette first gave it to her, she excitedly hugged the girl while thanking her.

Chloe scoffs at her words and retorts with her usual confidence.

"Please. At least I looked human when Hawkmoth got me. He's the only one here who turned into a massive creature fit for a monster movie. I feel that says something about him." Chloe says in a matter-of-fact tone.

Hearing this causes Ivan to scowl before Nate calls over.

"Ignore her,  Ivan. She's just bitter Mylène got the lead role." Nate says with a smirk while holding the microphone, causing Chloe to scowl at him.

"Why you," Chloe growls at him before Sabrina has enough.

"Knock it off, Chloe. We're trying to get this done and don't need you causing problems." Sabrina snaps at her, causing Chloe to scowl before turning her head while muttering under her breath.

"Yeah, keep acting high and mighty while you can."

Seeing this, Sabrina sighs while Marinette walks over to Mylène and comforts the girl.

"It's okay, Mylène. You're trying your best." She soothes the girl while giving her a bottle of water.

"Sorry. I'll do better in the next take." Mylène nervously promises.

"You're playing a hero from the special forces. You're not supposed to get all freaked out!" Nino reprimands her, getting sick of not getting anywhere with this film.

"I'm sorry." Mylène apologizes again, showing quite a bit of fear while staring at Nino.

It's as if she thinks he'll attack her.

"It's alright, Mylène. It's only me." Ivan tells her with his best attempt at a comforting smile.

"Yeah. The scariest thing here is that poorly designed mask." Nate calls, getting a few chuckles from the room's other occupants.

"Hey. I tried my best in the short amount of time I had." Nino snaps at Nate angrily.

Nate shrugs with a smirk as he looks at Nino with unapologetic eyes.

"Maybe we should swap actresses." Adrien finally speaks up, getting all eyes to look at him and causing him to grow slightly nervous.

"I-I mean, it doesn't seem like Mylène is comfortable doing this, and we've done over ten takes. Maybe it would be best to see how the other girls do." Adrien anxiously explains under the eyes of everyone.

This gets a sarcastic clap from Chloe as she smirks down at everyone.

"Finally, one of you uses your brains. Rich Boy is right. It's clear Little Miss Scaredy Cat obviously can't handle being in the limelight. As such, it's best if she plays her role as a background character." Chloe mocks as she pushes herself off the desk and walks toward the front of the class.

"P-please, l-let me have one more take. J-just give me a moment to sing my happy song." Mylène begs, not wanting to give up her spot since she dreams of being on stage like her dad.

However, Chloe gets in front of her face with an angry expression that terrifies Mylène enough that the girl freezes.

"We've gone over fourteen takes and you can't even get past the first scene. You're done. Maybe work on your bravery next time if you want to be in the movies." Chloe growls with enough ferocity that Mylène runs off to escape from her.

"Chloe!" Marinette, Sabrina, Alya, and Nate snap at her for her actions, but Chloe scoffs at them.

"Please. It's obvious we wouldn't have gotten anywhere with that useless idiot playing the star. I would rather get this done before the film deadline." Chloe uncaringly tells everyone around her while rolling her eyes.

Her uncaring attitude doesn't make anyone else happy but Nino finally sighs in resignation.

"Fine. We'll try recasting." Nino tells her, causing Chloe to smirk while a few classmates look at him in shock.

Ivan is the worst, though. In his rage, he throws the costume to the ground and stomps out of the classroom to find Mylène.

"Ivan?" Adrien calls to the teen worriedly.

"I guess he's going to go after her," Nathaniel says awkwardly as he stares at the door.

"Who cares about Chicken and The Beast? Let's focus on getting this thing done." Chloe snaps at everyone.

After a moment of silence, everyone looks at each other before, one by one, they accept her words. Everyone is getting tired of getting nowhere with the movie. They feel bad for Mylène but few are willing to keep waiting for her to stop being scared. Marinette and Sabrina are the only ones who still don't like this idea.

"Well, if we're choosing a new actress. Any chance I can do this with Ondine?" Kim asks with a grin, not noticing the tension still in the air.

However, his words get a scowl from Chloe and she glares at him.

"Why would we let her take the leading role? She's not even part of our class and shouldn't be here." Chloe says while she turns her gaze to Ondine, causing the girl to grow nervous under her stare.

"It's just, I read a bit of the script. Wouldn't it be awkward to kiss someone when the person I'm dating is in the same room?" Kim asks while nervously scratching the back of his head.

His words surprise Alya since she's the one who wrote the script.

"What are you talking about? I didn't add any kissing." Alya tells him before grabbing the script next to her and skimming through it to see if she can find what Kim is talking about.

That isn't needed, though. The person who changed the script speaks up nervously, like a kid who got caught putting their hand in the cookie jar.

"I added that. I thought it would add to the scene if the last two were lovers." Nino tells Alya with a nervous smile.

His words get a heavy scowl from Alya before the girl screams at him.

"You did what!"

Outside, Ivan is looking for Mylène and sees the girl crying on a bench near the bottom of the stairwell. When he sees her, he reaches into his pocket and pulls out a black skull pin, similar to the one he's currently wearing on his shirt, before walking down to her.

"Ummm... are you okay?" Ivan finally asks, unsure what to say to her at this moment.

Mylène jolts up when she hears Ivan's voice and looks at him with a face filled with fear. Seeing this causes Ivan to sigh, having grown used to those looks since he became Stoneheart, especially from Mylène. The girl seems to be the most afraid of those Hawkmoth prayed upon, which is unfortunate for her, seeing as she's in a class of them. It's gotten worse since Chloe and Aurore got re-Akumatized.

"L-look. I just came to check on you and make sure you're alright. I'm not going to hurt you, I promise." Ivan tries to reassure the girl, but her terrified expression inwardly breaks his heart.

His words don't seem to ease Mylène's worries, though. She scoots slightly away from Ivan and continues to stare at him nervously.

"I-if you come back, I promise I'll try to roar quietly." Ivan offers to the girl before holding out his palm and showing the pin to her.

"This is a pin from my favorite band, the Zombie Skull Crushers. Maybe you could keep it as a good luck charm." Ivan offers it to her with a kind smile to show he means no harm.

Mylène stares at it momentarily, unsure if she should take it. However, she decides she doesn't want to anger him and finally takes the pin with a shaky hand. She then puts it in her pocket and gives Ivan her best smile.

"Uh, t-thanks, Ivan. B-but they're right. I c-can't act to save my life and have wasted everyone's time. I should probably go. I-it was a stupid dream, a-anyway." Mylène says as she starts to tear up after remembering her failures and runs into the girls' bathroom to cry.

Seeing this breaks Ivan's heart and causes an unmistakable rage to build within him. This anger doesn't go unnoticed, though. Neither does the mix of sadness, fear and regret that Mylène is feeling.

Within his lair, Hawkmoth senses the two's rising emotions and smiles.

"Ah. Stoneheart. It's good to see you ready to cause more havoc in defense of the one you love. And it seems she also wishes to have the strength to protect herself. I'll grant you two the opportunity to fight together. Perhaps your love for her will let you win this time." Hawkmoth says as he refers to Ivan's feelings.

With that, he holds up his cane and palm, creating two butterflies and sending them after the two students.

While they fly toward the school, Ivan angrily stomps up the stairwell and prepares to confront the person who hurt Mylène's feelings. He slams the classroom door open with enough force to startle everyone and cause all arguments to cease. He then glares at Chloe venemously.

"You made Mylène cry!" Ivan snaps at her.

Despite inwardly growing nervous from his anger, Chloe doesn't back down and scoffs at him.

"Please. As if I care that your princess is crying. I make a lot of people cry." Chloe tells him in an uncaring manner that further angers Ivan.

"What?" He shouts at her and is about to stomp toward her before Kim and Nino act quickly to stop him before a fight breaks out.

"Woah, dude. Easy. We don't need a fight right now." Nino tells him as he tries to calm Ivan down.

"Yeah, man. Take it easy. We don't want you turning into a golem again." Kim tells him in a panic as he tries to keep Ivan from punching Chloe.

However, that was the wrong thing to say, as it seems to have angered Ivan even more than before. Seeing this causes Marinette and Sabrina to help stop Ivan while the others quickly back away from the scene.

"Pretty sure that was the wrong thing to say, Kim," Nate adds as he's backing up.

"I am sick of hearing that from you assholes! I didn't ask to be turned into a stupid monster! But people keep bringing it up like I did and keep being scared of me!" Ivan roars throughout the classroom as he glares at everyone around, causing some to flinch.

"We don't think of you as a monster, Ivan." Marinette desperately tells Ivan, trying to calm the teen down as he's surprisingly strong.

"Yeah. Half of us here have been Akumatized. You're not the only one." Adrien tells Ivan as he finally builds up the courage to help try and stop the teen without his powers.

Ivan doesn't say anything and continues to try and reach for Chloe. It doesn't seem like he can calm down. It's like all his frustration has been building up, only to be released now. He's like a raging bull, ready to plow through anyone.

While everyone worriedly watches the scene, the only one who notices Hawkmoth's butterfly heading toward Ivan is Chloe.

"Akuma!" She fearfully shouts before bolting up the stairs toward the other door.

As she does, the butterfly lands on Ivan's shirt pin, and Hawkmoth's outline appears. Seeing this causes everyone to jump and panic. Some are frozen in fear while others are following after Chloe. Even the five trying to stop Ivan let him go and back away in worry.

"Stoneheart. The one you love is crying while you're being mocked as a monster. So, I once again offer you power. However, this time I'll offer it not for revenge, but the chance to wield it as a knight protecting the princess." Hawkmoth's smooth voice says while offering Ivan the power to protect Mylène.

"I'll take it, Hawkmoth," Ivan says with a glare before smoke envelops him.

Seeing this causes the rest of the students to run for it, including the three known and one unknown Miraculous wielder.

"Everyone out!" Sabrina shouts as she points to the door behind Ivan.

A little later, Mylène hears a rumbling sound while staring in the bathroom mirror, causing her to jump slightly.

"What was that?" She asks in fear before reaching into her pocket for her phone.

When she does, she feels Ivan's pin and pulls it out. Her mind thinks back to when he saved her from Dark Cupid, and she gives it a sad expression. After remembering that, she decides to place it on her headband. She looks back into the mirror and gains a sad expression.

"I wish I could be that brave. I'm scared of even talking to anyone in class." Mylène sighs as she stares into the mirror, quickly noticing the butterfly heading toward her and letting out a scream.

"G-get away!" She shouts in alarm as she rapidly backs away toward a bathroom wall while swinging her phone at the butterfly in a desperate attempt to keep it at bay.

The butterfly isn't afraid, though. It continues to fly toward her and past the phone before landing on her new pin. After it does, Mylène gasps as she can hear Hawkmoth's voice in her head.

"Horrificator. You're someone mocked for living in fear. You dream of stardom but don't have the strength to attain it. I'll give you the strength to make others fear you and crush the competition. Your number one fan is out there helping." Hawkmoth states in a confident tone.

Mylène succumbs to his hypnotic effect and gains a nasty smile.

"Thanks for your support, Hawkmoth." She thanks him before smoke envelops her as well.

Outside, students run for their lives as Stoneheart breaks through the classroom wall and roars throughout the school. The Akuma quickly jumps off the second floor and lands before the school gates, preventing any of the students from leaving. Seeing this, those in the courtyard scatter in different directions to try and find somewhere to hide. As this is happening, the three Miraculous users and Nate are on the second floor and enter different classrooms

"Why does this always happen when we're trying to do something?" Nate groans as he and Marinette duck into a classroom.

"I don't know. But it's getting old." Marinette sighs as Tikki flies out of her earrings.

"I suppose it's time to provide some movie magic." She jokes as she stares at the two humans.

"Really?" Nate can't help but ask for the joke.

"Tikki, spots on," Marinette says as she transforms, the other two doing the same thing in their respective classrooms.

Back in the courtyard, Chloe and Alix dive into the girls' bathroom since it is closest to them. Upon entering, Alix glares at Chloe with a frustrated expression.

"You just had to mock the guy, didn't you?" She snaps at Chloe, causing the other girl to scowl.

"How was I supposed to know he'd go full monster on us?" Chloe snaps back.

"Oh, I don't know, maybe because it's already happened a few times. Don't think I don't know how you caused Max and Kim to get Akumatized! And I heard you did the same thing to Rose! When are you going to learn that you can't keep doing this crap!" Alix shouts at her in anger.

"You can't tell me what to do! It's not my fault they can't accept the words of or keep up with someone as exceptional as moi." Chloe says with a smirk as she delicately places a hand on her chest while wearing a confident smirk, causing Alix to resist the urge to smack her across the face.

The two girls are so busy arguing that they don't notice the broken bathroom mirror behind Chloe or the strange sticky purplish-pink substance sticking to it. After a while, Alix pauses her screaming and pushes past Chloe to look at what's covering the mirror, causing the other girl to growl.

"How dare yo-" Chloe is about to scream before freezing as she notices what Alix is heading to.

"What the heck is this stuff?" Alix questions as she's about to use a finger to touch the substance before Chloe stops her.

"Don't touch something when you don't know what it is. You don't know what it could do to you." She tells Alix while putting the girl's arm down.

Alix scowls at the touch but backs down. The two stare at the slime worriedly, not realizing something is creeping up behind them.

"Wait. Hawkmoth can create two Akumas, right? Do you think something else is here besides Stoneheart?" Alix asks worriedly, causing Chloe's eyes to widen as she panics.

Before either of the two can do anything, they suddenly find themselves being grabbed from behind by the same sticky substance, causing them to let out screams that no one can hear over the commotion with Stoneheart.

Speaking of which, the heroes are currently trying to figure out how to beat him.

"Remember! We can't hit him, or he'll just grow and become stronger!" Ladybug shouts to her teammates, not thinking about how they got here so fast due to the current emergency.

"Right." Cat Noir and Canine nod as the three heroes rest on the school roof while staring at Stoneheart.

The Akuma soon takes notice of them and roars at the three.

"Give me your Miraculous!" Stoneheart shouts before charging and jumping up to the three in a surprising feat of agility.

The heroes quickly dive out of the way with Cat Noir and Ladybug on the right and Canine on the left. 

Wanting to try and finish this fast and believing it will work against Stoneheart, Canine activates Command and shouts at the Akuma.

"Surrender!"

The orange-tinted soundwave heads toward Stoneheart and does seem to affect him. Stoneheart puts his hands to his head and loses his balance, causing him to faceplant into the courtyard's asphalt. Luckily, it doesn't seem like that caused him to grow, but it did almost cause him to hurt Kim and Ondine.

"We should get out of here before he sees me," Kim says in a panic as he grabs Ondine's arm and leads her away.

While running, the two see Nate waving toward them in the corner of the second floor. Deciding to follow him, they reclimb the stairs before entering the classroom with him.

When they enter, they see others like Juleka, Rose, Nathaniel, Max, Alya, and Nino already there.

"Why are we hiding in the school when the battle is outside?" Kim asks in a slightly freaked out as he looks out the window to see Stoneheart and the heroes going back at it.

"We figured it would be better to wait here until either the heroes win or lead Ivan out of the school," Nate tells the two with a shrug.

"Yeah. Do you want to try getting out of the school with a giant rock monster in the courtyard that may chase after you?" Alya asks him with a raised eyebrow.

Hearing this causes Kim to shake his head no rapidly while Ondine notices two people missing.

"Where's Chloe and Alix?" She asks worriedly while staring at the door.

Hearing this causes Nate to crack the door open and peek into the hallway while Nino shrugs.

"No idea, dudette."

"Maybe they got out," Rose hopefully suggests while she and Juleka hold each other.

"I hope so," Nathaniel mutters before they see the heroes leading Stoneheart out of the school.

"It looks like we'll be safe to leave soon!" Nate calls from the end of the hallway, having gone out to get a better look.

Hearing this causes the students to sigh in relief.

"We should probably wait here for a few minutes just to be safe," Alya tells the rest of the class, causing a few nods.

The group sits there for a minute before realizing Nate hasn't returned yet. This gets a few raised eyebrows, and Alya heads to the door.

"Hey, Nate! Are you coming back in?" Alya calls into the hall but doesn't get a response back.

She doesn't even see Nate in the hall.

"I think he already left." She tells everyone before she notices something.

"Wait, no. Something's in the hall." Alya tells the group before leaving the room to check it out.

Her words cause others to become curious. Max and Kim are the ones who go out with her to see what's happening. In the hallway, the same purplish-pink slime substance is around a shoe.

"What is this stuff?" Alya disgustedly asks as she looks at the slime while Kim picks up the shoe.

"Isn't this Nate's shoe?" Kim asks as he looks at it.

Max stands next to it and inspects it.

"It looks to be the same design as the ones he wears." He agrees.

Hearing this causes Alya to grow nervous as she looks at the slime. It's not normal to leave a shoe behind if it's safe. Plus, there's something strange about this slime. After a moment of thought, she turns back to the boys and says.

"I think we should get out of here. Something's wrong." She tells the two anxiously, getting worried expressions in return.

She pushes past the two and the three quickly run back to the classroom to tell the others.

"Hey, guys. We should leave. Something is wrong. We found Nate's shoe in the hall with some weird goo." Alya tells everyone in the room as she and Kim stand at the door.

Hearing this causes people to panic before Nino notices something weird.

"Wait. Wasn't Max with you dudes?" He nervously asks, causing Kim to give him a confused look.

"What are you talking about, man? He's right-" Kim says before pausing when he turns his head and sees Max missing.

Further down the hall, Max's glasses lay on the floor with some slime around them.

"Max!" Kim calls worriedly for his friend before rushing down the hall to look for him.

"Kim, wait!" Ondine worriedly shouts as she rushes to the door.

She and Alya are about to chase after the boy before he's suddenly grabbed by a rope of that slime substance and ripped from the second floor with a short scream.

"Kim!" Ondine shouts in alarm before rushing over to where Kim is grabbed and looking around the courtyard for him.

However, she doesn't see him anywhere. All she sees is a small trail of slime.

Hearing her scream, the other classmates start shuffling into the hall, and Alya turns to them worriedly.

"Guys, I think Hawkmoth made another Akuma. And it's after us." Alya reveals fearfully.

I have a lot of chapters written ahead and will be uploading a third time this month.

𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥 𝐚𝐝𝐣𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐱𝐞𝐧𝐤 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐞𝐬.

Xenk possessed a commanding presence with his tall, imposing stature and striking features. His smooth, brown skin bore the mark of a life lived under both the sun's warmth and the moon's ethereal glow. His dark brown eyes, intense and piercing, held a depth of wisdom and determination. Black dreadlocks, meticulously styled, cascaded down one side of his face, adorned with a few silver cuffs that glinted in the light. A well-groomed beard framed his jawline, adding to his air of sophistication.

In his casual attire, Xenk exuded a blend of simplicity and refined taste. He wore light brown trousers that allowed freedom of movement, accompanied by sturdy dark leather boots that hinted at his adventurous spirit. A loose-fitting white shirt with a low-cut front provided both comfort and a touch of allure. Draping over his form, he donned a long teal light suede jacket, its supple fabric cascading down his frame, its color reminiscent of the depths of the sea.

When battle called, Xenk adorned himself in half plate steel armor, meticulously crafted and adorned with intricate gold embellishments. The armor bore the signs of past conflicts, telling tales of his experiences on the battlefield. Over this protective layer, he draped a regal cape with a high collar that added an aura of authority and majesty to his presence.

His weapon of choice was a daggersword, a unique and versatile blade that reflected his combat prowess. With a touch of divine radiance, he could imbue the weapon with holy power, lending a celestial glow to its edges. Xenk's mastery of the blade allowed him to split it into a longsword and a dagger, dual-wielding with seamless grace and precision.

In his appearance and attire, Xenk reflected a harmonious balance between strength and elegance, embodying the essence of a warrior guided by a higher purpose.

New York United Heroez: The Story of Eagle and Uncanny Valley - Chapter 1: Aftermath (Part 1)

In the heart of New York City's bustling streets. Amidst the cacophony of honking horns and hurried footsteps, a fierce battle unfolded. The United Heroez found themselves facing a foe, known as Janus Two-face.

She stood before them like a twisted embodiment of duality itself. Janus's appearance was as unsettling as her name suggested. Pale skin, streaked with muck, gave her an otherworldly aura, as if she had emerged from the depths of some forgotten nightmare. Her black, silky hair hung in dreadlocks, parted down the middle of her head. Adorned in worn-out cloth that billowed around her like a tattered shroud, she seemed to embody the very essence of decay and destruction. Thick broken chains hung from her wrists, their metallic clinks echoing like a sinister warning of the danger she posed.

It was a visage that sent shivers down the spines of even the bravest souls. But it was not just her appearance that set her apart. She possessed a chilling power—her mesmerizing gaze can manipulate people at will. With a single glance from either of her haunting eyes, she ensnares minds, bending victims to her dark purposes. Those caught in her gaze become puppets, their thoughts and actions controlled by her influence.

As the heroes braced themselves for the coming battle, they couldn't help but feel a sense of unease at the sight of Janus. When she unleashed her power, chaos erupted among the citizens, turning them against each other in a frenzy of fear and aggression. The United Heroez sprang into action, prioritizing the evacuation of citizens first, giving Janus much less targets.

Uncanny Valley and Sparrow assisted in the evacuation, fetching people from each corner.

Uncanny Valley soared through the smoke-filled sky. She was joined by a squadron of fellow heroes, their capes billowing behind them as they darted between buildings, their presence instilling a sense of reassurance in the hearts of those below. Meanwhile, Sparrow, agile and swift, raced through the streets with unparalleled grace, his movements a blur as he navigated through the labyrinth of debris and confusion. His eyes scanned the surroundings for any sign of distress as she guided frightened civilians towards safety. They retreat to the evacuation center, farther away from the attacked area.

High above, atop a towering bridge, a man teetered on the edge, his mind ensnared by the spell of despair. With resolve etched on his face, he made a fateful decision—to leap into the abyss below. But as he prepared to plunge into the unknown, a streak of movement caught his eye.

Swift as a lightning bolt, Sparrow swooped in. He unleashed his owl-grapple, the metallic hook of the grapple embedded itself into the concrete wall with a resounding thud, anchoring Sparrow in place as he swung perilously through the air. He launched towards the falling man, grasping desperately for him hurtling towards oblivion. Sparrow's hand closed around the man's wrist, his muscles straining against the force of gravity as he fought to halt the descent. With a mighty heave, he pulled the man close, his breaths coming in ragged gasps as he defied the darkness threatening to claim them both. Sparrow was able to hoist the man to safety, his heart pounding in his chest as he surveyed the chaos around them. 

As the dust settled and the chaos began to subside, a figure descended from the skies with an air of regality that commanded attention. Majestia landed gracefully before the assembled team, her presence exuding an aura of strength and authority, "Is that everyone?" she inquired. "Yes," Uncanny replied, ever vigilant in the skies above scanning the area below for any stragglers in need of rescue, "That's everyone," she confirms. Sparrow, standing steadfast at her side, nodded in silent agreement.

Then a new presence made itself known. Knight Owl, towering and imposing, emerged from the shadows with an intensity that sent shivers down their spines. "Good. Now go," he commanded, his words leaving no room for hesitation.

As Knight Owl's stern command hung in the air, Sparrow's rebellious instincts kicked in. Before he could voice his protest however, Knight Owl silenced him with a raised hand, his gaze unyielding. "I am not repeating myself. You and Uncanny leave," Knight Owl reiterated, his tone leaving no room for negotiation. But Sparrow, unwilling to back down, persisted, his voice tinged with defiance "But we can help take her down! I can even fight her with my eyes closed!" he argued fervently. Yet, before Knight Owl could respond, a sudden blur of motion streaked through the air, drawing their attention.

A blue streak whirled around them, revealing to be Mercury. "It’s too dangerous for you kids," he interjected, his voice laced with concern as he sought to temper Sparrow's bravado. Majestia, her expression grave, added her voice to the chorus of warnings, "You two must go now," she insisted, her words carrying the weight of authority born from years of experience on the battlefield.

With a heavy heart and a sense of reluctant acceptance, Sparrow hesitated for a moment before reluctantly obeying the adults’ command. Alongside Uncanny, he turned to leave.

Or did they?

Chapter 13: A Tenuous Parley

The tension in the air was palpable as the Farfield delegation, led by Alden and King Roderick, rode forward on their horses to meet the Orcish envoy halfway between the thorn walls and the Orcish camp. Towering over them, on massive steeds, were Ionia and Arrowcatcher, their imposing figures clad in armor that glinted ominously in the dappled sunlight filtering through the dense forest canopy.

Ionia, the former with pale skin and blonde dreadlocks cascading down her shoulders, was encased in formidable black armor. Ionia, her obese form resplendent, bore swollen breasts that strained against their confinement and a powerful gut that spoke volumes about her lust and gluttony. Her powerful stench, a mix of sweat and grime, hung in the air, an unsettling testament to her unyielding determination. Arrowcatcher, a grim figure in dark armor, sported a massive and cruel blade in place of his missing arm, an intimidating testament to his prowess in battle. Arrowcatcher's imposing figure loomed in the dim light, his muscles rippling beneath the dark armor like coiled serpents ready to strike. His grim determination etched lines of resolve on his weathered face, a testament to his unyielding spirit amidst the chaos of battle. With every step, his presence exuded a palpable aura of menace, a warning to all who dared challenge the might of the Orcish horde.

Alden, his armor a gleaming silver canvas intricately detailed with delicate vines and blooming flowers, rode with an air of regal determination. Beside him, King Roderick, clad in resplendent gold and silver armor, bore the emblem of Farfield: a purple cape that billowed behind him like a regal banner.

As they dismounted and approached each other, the horses of both parties seemed dwarfed by the massive Orcish steeds. The atmosphere crackled with anticipation, each side carefully studying the other, ready to gauge the intentions behind this parley.

Ionia's eyes, sharp as obsidian, met Alden's gaze. "Alden," she spat the word with disdain, "your city stands on the edge of destruction. We offer you a chance to join us, to embrace the Orcish way of life, and live under the rule of the one, true god, MOG."

Alden, his voice steady despite the tension, replied, "We will not bow to tyranny, nor will we forsake our way of life. Farfield will not fall to your bloodthirsty horde."

The air grew thick with unspoken threats and unyielding determination as the leaders stared each other down, neither side willing to back down, knowing that the fate of Farfield hung in the balance. The outcome of this tense parley would determine the course of the siege, and the destinies of both the Orcs and the people of Farfield.

In the fading light, King Roderick, his voice heavy with desperation, pleaded with his cousin, his words a desperate plea to pull her back from the brink of madness. "Ionia, please, come to your senses! Escape the clutches of the Orcs before it's too late. Return to Farfield, and I will restore your honor and place you as the new Lord of Comburgh, once the city is restored of course. There's still a chance for redemption."

Ionia's laughter, sharp and disdainful, cut through the air like a blade. She turned to Arrowcatcher, speaking in the guttural tones of Orcish, "Thiuk ni avalkuk avo much!" Her advisor's laughter joined hers, a sinister echo reverberating in the forest. Arrowcatcher turned to Roderick, his eyes glinting with dark amusement. "Words are cheap, human," he sneered, "Why should she settle for a mere lordship when she can be a queen?"

King Roderick, his brow furrowed with confusion and concern, asked the question that weighed heavily on his mind. "Ionia, why would you align yourself with the Orcs, forsaking your own people and your homeland?"

Ionia, her eyes ablaze with fervor, gestured proudly to the amassed Orcish army. Their figures were powerful yet corpulent, their green skin stretched tight over excessive muscles, bellies, and breasts, emitting a musky odor that clung to the air like a potent declaration of their ferocity.

"Look upon them, Roderick," Ionia declared, her voice carrying the conviction of a zealot. "Are they not perfect, these mighty warriors, embodying the strength of the Orcish race? All who witness their greatness shall bow before their indomitable force. MOG himself has spoken to me, naming me as mother of his kingdom, and in his name, and in the name of my love Gelbeg, I will lead them in conquering and pillaging this land until Farfield lies in ruins at our feet."

Her words hung in the air, heavy with the weight of her newfound purpose, leaving King Roderick to grapple with the chilling reality of his cousin's transformation and the ominous alliance she had forged.

With an air of regal authority, Ionia laid out her audacious terms. "Complete and utter surrender of Farfield, the dissolution of the Old Dominion as the official religion, the Orc way of life recognized as the only lifestyle permissible in Farfield, reparations paid to the Orcs in the form of servitude by every citizen of Farfield, and, above all, my rightful place as the queen of this land."

King Roderick, his disbelief etched on his face, vehemently denied the outrageous demands. "I will not subject my people to such tyranny! Farfield will never bow to these absurd terms," he declared, his voice laced with determination.

Ionia, unflinching, snorted like an Orc, a pig-like sound of mockery that hung in the air like a curse. With a final, scornful glance, she and Arrowcatcher turned their steeds and rode back towards the Orcish camp, leaving behind the shattered remnants of what was once family bonds, now torn asunder by the cruel hand of war.

Hey @8thdance ! Happy candlenights! hope you enjoy, Had a lot of fun colouring this one

and as always thanks @thecandlenightszone for organising the event <3

EDIT:

Image description: digital art of Kravitz and Taako from The Adventure Zone. Kravitz is a skinny, Black half-elf with dreadlocks in a half-up bun, brown skin, and vitiligo that resembles a skull and bones on his face and arms respectively. He wears a black vest and red button-up shirt. Taako is a slim elf with freckled brown skin, wavy long blond hair, and stubble, wearing a wizard hat and a flowing purple cape with a star pattern. Taako's holding Kravitz up with one arm, dipping him as if mid-dance, and holding a sprig of mistletoe above their heads. Kravitz is laughing joyfully as Taako winks. End description.

(thank you @anistarrose for the ID <3)

Image description: shaded digital sketches of Kravitz from The Adventure Zone. He's a skinny Black human with dark skin, and dreadlocks in a loose ponytail, and stubble. He wears a suit, multi-layered cape, and dangling earrings.

He's seen in a full-body shot with a neutral expression, his cape flowing. Adjacent is a detailed profile shot of his face, where he again has a neutral expression. In the background there are looser sketches of him looking awkward, then laughing, then wearing a "Sizzlin' it up with Taako" t-shirt.

In the front corner, there's a sketch of Taako, a skinny elf with shoulder-length straight hair and a tooth gap. He's grinning and making an "ok" gesture. End description.

I’ve never drawn Kravitz before apparently so I thought it was about time to fix that.

Oliver gets some fancy clothes, when what he really needs is a nap :-)

ID:( Two drawings of Oliver Banks from The Magnus Archives. He is a thinset black man with white dreadlocks, a septum and two ear piercing - a cuff and a lobe- and heavy undereye bags.

The first image is from the waist up. He is wearing a gothic dark purple shirt with baggy undersleeves and tighter cuffs around the lower arms, black trousers, and a black hood/short cape which is secured with a skull pin and two raven feathers. He has three dots of white makeup under each eye, and a line on his lower lip. The background is a mix of collaged skulls, lillies, and drawn thin black trendrils, in a cluster behind him.

The second image is full body. He is wearing a very oversized offwhite shirt, with sleeves that hang past his hands, tucked into black leather trousers that reach the ground and unzip at the sides from the ankles down to reveal his black heeled boots. Over the top he is wearing a dark purple blazer and flowy knee length black cloak secured with a gold chain. He is standing wig one arm relaxed and one arm on his hip, legs crossed over each other, looking off to the side. ) End ID

Rating Beyblade Burst season 1 drip

1) Long ass post

2) 2/10 here is equal to a 6/10 irl

3) Original season 1 here, V-Force here, G-Rev here, Fusion here, Masters here, Fury here, Shogun Steel here, Beywheelz here, Beyraiderz here

4) Characters who kept their designs in here and Evolution will be here only (ex: Valt has an entry here but not Evolution)

Valt: 5/10. I like the jacket and the hoodie, but it’s nothing that special

Shu: 4/10. Decent, but nothing great

Training Shu: 5/10. The red and white work well together

Rantaro: 7/10. I love the jacket (which I won’t call a cape because canonically he insists it’s not). Also the pants are great

Ken: 6/10. I like the look, but feel that more could be done with it

Daigo: 5/10. Looks pretty good. My only complaint is that the purple and red are too dull to work with all the black. Either have less black, or make the purple brighter to contrast more

Ryota Kurogami: 2/10. He looks like a background character

Hoji: 2/10. It’d be a 3 because of the plain overalls, but the shoes detract a point

Wakiya: 7/10. I love the jacket with the wyverns on it

Training Wakiya: 3/10. It’s very plain

Orochi: 8/10. Dreadlocks + 4 silver rings + piano key jacket + studded pants

Xander: 8/10. Super buff dude in a crop top

Yugo: 5/10. 2 of those points come from the mohawk alone

Ukyo: 6/10. I like it, but it feels like it’s missing something

Zac: 6/10. He looks pretty good, and that choker is pretty cool

The Masked Blader: 7/10. It’s a nice mask

Gabe: 7/10. He gives off gym bro vibes

Lui: 10/10. I love the hair, and the boots, and the boa scarf

Quon: 5/10. He looks pretty good

Ben: 6/10. The mohawk and purple shorts are cool, but don’t mesh as well as one would hope

Naoki: 4/10. Nice but kinda generic

Jin: 4/10. I like hoodies worn over hats, but Jin’s design doesn’t have much going on aside from that

Akira: 1/10. The design just does not work. It’s a combination of aa bunch of different things (which aren’t that great to begin with) thrown together with absolutely no cohesion

Melos: 4/10. Kinda cool (especially for a background character) but also far from the best cat boy in the series

Haruto: 4/10. What is it with Burst and some background characters having better designs than part of the main cast?

Katana: 6/10. I like the shirt with one sleeve rolled up. And the neatly-cut pants. And the leather arm guard

Shinki: 4/10. It’s just alright

Kyo: 2/10. He looks like a background character (but not a Burst one since those tend to look good)

Mick: 3/10. I kinda like the choker but that’s it

Freddy: 3/10. Same as Mick

Bowie: 4/10. The hat improves on his teammates’ designs

Atsuto: 3/10. Looks decent enough for a background character, and in a different show his design might belong to a main character

Kyoji: 5/10. He looks good for a part of the main cast. And he’s a background character

Ichiro: 3/10. Background character that looks the part

Nika: 3/10. Really nothing special

Toko: 3/10. Almost looks like a background character

Chiharu: 4/10. Bland but decent

Momoko: 2/10. Background character that looks like a background character

Keita: 2/10. Same as Momoko

Hiroshi: 2/10. Same as Keita

Principal Shinoda: 3/10. He’s a guy in a suit. Nothing more

Himeko: 3/10. Bland background character, but the fang gives her something unique

Sasaki: 3/10. Just enough to avoid me saying they look like a background character

Shindo: 2/10. They look like a background character

Shin Komazaki: 3/10. Bland but not terrible

Hanami: 5/10. He looks pretty good

Akio: 2.10. Background character look

Raita: 3/10. Doesn’t look that great

Yoga: 3/10. Not terrible, but nothing that I’d call good

Ken Yukino: 3/10. Barely escapes the background character look

Minen: 5/10. He actually looks good

Dan: 2/10. Background character look

Majin: 3/10. Not a background character look, but close to it

Shun: 3/10. Too much purple and not enough contrast

Ryota Nasu: 3/10. Same as Shun

Kakeru: 7/10. One of the better cat boys of the series

Takuto: 3/10. Almost a background character look

Kento: 4/10. I like the pilot look

Tsujihara: 3/10. His look is pretty bland
