ONE. CHILD OF PROPHECY

in the reign of the first emperors, or so said the tales, the child of god is born — in silver moonlight and touched with the whisper of divinity.

they said that in his birth, the muses came and told it to his half-nymph mother, a beloved daughter of the water gods. they landed kisses on her sweat-sheened temple and sang each unravelling prophecy with the golden strings of their lyres; chosen by god, they purred, the emperor of kings.

they did not stay for long, but they had no need to. word travels swiftly in the whirling halls of the palace.

michael, gift of god, whom the divine had gingerly formed in their image, golden and jewel-eyed. the one who will fell men like wheat beneath a scythe and have them all crouching at his heel.

a godly son means haste to find a wife to carry on the bloodline, hungry in hopes that the gods will shine their divine light again with each beautiful son to come. and thus, the one they chose is you, daughter of house adalheidis, rumoured to have had divine blood from a sea nymph mixed in aeons ago. a nymph is the least of the lesser gods, but still a god, nonetheless, and divine blood purified the muddy dust of the human race to mould saints and heroes.

the divine blood of your house has long been watered down, with no traces of any deific features that might make an appearance in fables or folklore. but still, it is enough.

nymph, in the olden languages, is the same word for bride.

so perhaps your fate had been preordained long ago.

and so, when you first meet god, you are just short of thirteen years old.

they twine your hair with ribbons and strings of pearls, silent tittering as they dusted a pearly powder over your cheeks, an incandescent glow illuminating against the bronze mirror. your head lolls to the rhythm of their chatter, following the direction your hair was gently tugged at, eyes slow and blinking, not quite shed of the silvery sleep.

when you arrive, the sun shines brightly in the transparent sky, casting a golden glow over the white plaster of the palace architecture. banners hang from the ceiling, a royal blue, fluttering in the wind; your gaze climbs upwards, following the inscriptions of ancient fables, the effigies of the gods carved into the ceiling. the sunlight dancing in the curve of their marble eyes was so fervid you tore your gaze away in fear they might come alive.

a servant you had not caught the name of led you through the halls. he looked your age, maybe slightly older; not quite grown out into his lanky frame, eyes downcast and shy.

the emperor was not present, he had told you with nervous hands, and so you were being brought directly to the son of god himself.

your steps halt at a side door in the northernmost part of the palace. from what you could see, it was not as grand as the throne room you had passed by earlier, but it was obvious how pampered this boy prince was; before you, arched pillars loomed over the doors of imported oakwood, engraved with gentle carvings of even more obscure fables of prophetical sons and warrior kings.

he is lying on his side on a wide, pillowed bench, thick furs strewn all over the velvety couch. his eyes were half closed, lashes fluttering against his cheeks each time he blinked.

at the purposeful scuffing of your sandals against the floor, he glanced up briefly, lolling his head to the side to look at you.

lazily, his hands stroked the majestic forest cat on his lap, golden fur streaked like a lion, mirroring its owner. but no — it would be wrong to compare it as such. his hair was entirely different, lit by the sun with a spring honey lustre, spun from threads of gold. if you looked closer, within it glints the golden circlet of a prince, nearly black against the brightness of his hair.

you felt your breaths slow, gaping at the cold shock of his beauty. he was not much older than you, but incomparable with the boys your age; of jewel blue eyes sharp as a beast, cheeks and mouth tinted a cherubic rose, painted by the careful muses themselves.

if you were not a child of noble birth, you're quite sure your jaw would have been hanging slack by now. instead, you pressed your lips together and tore your gaze to the floor.

you can feel his eyes on you, and hear a slight shuffle of him leaning more forward to regard you. "what is your name?" his voice is silken, tinged with the slight crackle of sleep and boredom. you keep your gaze screwed to the ground out of spite, a muscle in your jaw ticking. your family was one of the great pillars of the empire, flourishing in trade and commerce. you were his arranged bride, to be the empress of his nation. and yet he still did not know you.

now, he sits up completely, cat yowling faintly in his lap. he speaks again, louder, clear as the glacial waters of the north. "what is your name?" the first lapse of silence was excusable, perhaps you had not heard. now, the boy prince demands an answer.

and so, you level your gaze with his, staring with all the conviction and animosity of a noble girl who had never experienced such blatant disregard. you speak your name as if casting a spell, each syllable strong and resonant, muttered with intention — to engrave your name in his mind, to make sure he could not forget it even if he wanted.

"of house adalheidis," you added in finality.

he's focused on you now, silvery blue gaze as cutting as a knife. he tips his chin up, staring downwards. "my name is michael," he purrs, "kaiser." the side of his mouth quirked slightly at the intensity of your stare. from the corner of your eyes, you faintly notice the dimples appearing at the sides of his face.

you both held the other's gaze in silence. the amusement on his face was obvious, and your brows melded together in confusion for a split second.

then he blinked, mouth cracked open like a yawning cat, mirroring the feline on his lap.

kaiser's interest came as quickly as it left, as if everything was a divine comedy preened before him to garner his delight. he no longer was looking at you.

"welcome to the palace."

you were raised in court, and you knew dismissal when you heard it. you lowered your head with clenched fingers, bruising the crushed silk of your dress.

Can I just say your effigy au is such a cool and well excuted idea and your artwork is GORGEOUS

AAAAA TYY TY TYSMM!! That really means alot! In all honesty I'm not the best story teller, and I'm still very new to making comics and the like, as well as fleshing out non-oc based AU's so I have genuienly no idea what i'm doing. For effigy AU I really juts have the main purpose of the au- which is MK suddenly turns to stone and SWK has to find a way to "cure" MK while also parading around AS Mk so that no one gets suspicious of his disappearance. And I'm just shooting off Scene ideas from that!

[theghostshost]

I just wanna say the comic is sooo good! if mk is a rock what kind of rock would mk be though

I like to Think Stone MK is either a Granite or andosite sort of stone.

a good dense sort of rock, a little brittle but nothing too crazy- Also Canonically, stone MK looks polished/smooth but if you touch him, it's feel like dry side walk cement, like lowkey scratchy!

[theghostshost]

Hi!! Just wanted to say that I just recently started treading into the LMK fandom and I found your Effigy AU and I enjoyed it so much! There’s just so many interesting things to think about in it, Wukong searching desperately for a cure for MK and missing him and showing more vulnerable sides around him, pretending to be MK and getting a deeper look into his life, Macaque being onto him, it’s all just so engaging to think about! If we do get a happy ending and MK is saved, would Wukong have a phase of being overprotective afterwards?

Thank you so much for creating this!

AAHHHH I'M SO HAPPY YOU LIKE MY SILLY AU!!! It means so so much!!! /Gen! If, and I'm saying "if" here cuz i don't really know how the au would "end" yet. but if there is to be a happy ending, I think he'd be a little protective of MK, more than usual. Just a bit a tiny amount. he's still gotta be the classic and cool great sage and all right?

[theghostshost]

Will you finish the Effigy Au lmk comic I need to know for my sanity

yes! i hope too anyway, i've just been busy and the little hamster in my brain is running circles around some of my other interests and other Au's my mind is a battleground, who knows what project wants my attention next! haha!

[angstandhappiness]

OH HOLY SHITE OH NO gorgeous artstyle, devastating subject

Effigy AU- Breaking point

[theghostshost]

HelloOOoo !! Good morning or afternoon or night??? I hope you're okay rn. I saw that we can leave coments, so I wanted to try although I'm not good at English. Your art style is sO PRETTYYYY- I follow from Twitter, and your art really inspires me a lot. Don't change your hobby for anything or anyone <33

My ask is: Is there a way to see your Reborn AU? I like so much your Effigy AU, it's too good to know at least some of it jj. But I can't find how to see your posts about your other AU. Anyways, that's all- Have a great day and this anon girl sends you regards from Venezuela !! 🫶

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW TY YTYTYTY!! You're wayy too kind and sweet and ur words mean a lot! /Genuine! To answer your question- There's currently no way to find Reborn AU content because honestly, Theres VERY little content about it in general. It's not as "grand" as effigy au, cuz i have maybe like 1 mini comic on it and the rest is just either Vague fully rendered Art of TK- or shitpost concept doodles about story HC's and nonsense. The most of my reborn work is honestly only shared between a few online friends cuz it involves their oc's as well. + Reborn AU, while it is in function an LMK AU has a lot more OC influence than you would expect. To summarize, There isn't ALOT/ theres barely stuff concerning the LMK Reborn AU in any of my social media accounts, and most of it is scattered and sporadic and makes very little sense, unlike effigy AU. Will I work more on LMKReborn? Yes! however Effigy AU is sorta at the front of my brain rn, I love reborn AU, but stone monkeys go brrrrrrrrrrrr!!

[theghostshost]

I'm curious do you have a fanfic for your LMK Reborn AU??? Cause the potential world building in that is fascinating to me!!!

Anyways I love your art!!!! Hope you have a nice day.

Theres no fanfic for it sadly, I thought about it but, it's just been ALOT! I still draw and work on the AU from time to time of course! But theres just so much that It drained me for a bit. I'll make more content for the AU soon don't worry! but my Effigy Au has been at the front of my mind a bit more often lately haha!
