Miraculous Paradise - Chapter 12 - Armageddon

Beginning || Previous || Next

            Amelie’s eyes fluttered open. She groaned and raised her hand to her forehead, then gasped. She panicked at her skin that was a rich royal blue. A rustling came behind her as massive green cloth feathers lifted and fanned behind her. She looked past the tail at a pair of beautiful pink, purple, orange, and yellow fairy wings. She gasped seeing Emilie lift her head now with golden skin and beach blond hair that fell around her.

            “Sister? Look at you!” Amelie exclaimed.

            Emilie shook her head as she focused. She staggered to her feet to reveal she was only covered by a flowy orange, pink, and purple butterfly-themed sash. Amelie gasped and looked away.

            “Sister, some modesty!”

            Emilie looked at herself, then at Amelie. She snorted seeing Amelie’s belly dancer garb with golden chains that dangled from the clothes.

            “Speak for yourself, sis,” Emilie remarked.

            Amelie furrowed her brow, then looked at herself. She chuckled nervously as she stood.

            “Well, I suppose I’m not much better, am I? Two peas in a pod we are.”

            Emilie smiled. “Right, though you were always far more modest than me.”

            “Look, go around flash your bits if you want, but leave a little something to imagination. Am I right? I know I’m not wrong.”

            Emilie giggled, then turned to the window. “It’s time. Are you ready?”

            “Wait. Am I going out? But it’s freezing out there and do you see what I’m wearing?”

            “I do, but do you feel a chill now?”

            Amelie considered. “No. No, I don’t. Is that right? Shouldn’t I be freezing by now?”

            “I don’t think normal rules apply while we’re like this.”

            Amelie hummed. “I suppose not. Speaking of, what should we call ourselves?”

            “Huh?”

            “Well, we can’t exactly call each other by our given names. Unless we want unnecessary attention in our normal lives. So, perhaps we should have aliases?”

            Emilie considered. “Good point. Call me… Echidna.”

            Amelie cooed. “Oh, mother of monsters? I like it. I think I’ll be… Erinona.”

            “Very well, Erinona. Are you ready to begin?”

            “Sure am. What’s the plan? How do we begin?”

            Echidna considered. “We start with a message. I can create pseudo angels to accompany you to the heart of the city. By that point, we should have the attention of the people and news so you can deliver our message.”

            “Oh! What if you created them at different points in the city? Get more attention that way and have them all converge on one location.”

            “And you say your bad at these things.”

            “What? I’m better in the moment. Everything just comes to me. If I’m left to think, my brain just goes blank.”

            Echidna smiled. “Right. Then I hope you’re ready. You’ll need that quick wit starting now.”

~~

            Felix rose and shook his head. He looked at his hand covered in a long black glove. He rushed to the bathroom, turned on the light, and examined himself in the mirror. His clothes had been transformed into a sleeveless, open black tailcoat with the inside lined with gold fabric complete with cat tail, black eye mask, shirt, pants, and thigh-high boots. His long hair was undone and rested in the upturned collar of his coat with a pair of cat ears atop his head. He sneered at the massive bell at the base of his neck, then marveled at his golden cat-like eyes.

            Felix whistled. “Not bad. Not bad at all.”

            Felix admired himself a moment longer when a flash lit up his room. He ran to the window and peered outside. His eyes widened when he saw an angel hovering above the wall. He ducked down and considered how to proceed when new information formed in his head. The word “Cataclysm” floated about with images of utter destruction.

            Felix turned back to the window and saw the angel was still there. He opened the window and snuck up on the creature.

            “Cataclysm!” Felix roared.

            The angel turned as Felix clawed it. Its body turned black and broke apart into ash.

            Felix grinned, but it faded when he saw more angels fly by overhead. He furrowed his brow and followed them.

~~

            Marinette’s eyes blinked as she returned to the living room. She glanced down at her outfit. She now wore a pink leotard with three black stripes running down it, a pink superhero eye mask, black gloves and high-heel boots, and white stockings and gloves under the black ones. Her short hair had grown out and was tied back in wild low pigtails. A long, sheer vest cape draped off her shoulders to her knees. She winced seeing the scars on her legs and shoulders exposed, covered only by a sheer pink fabric.

            Marinette reached for a blanket when a bright light lit up behind the curtains. She cautiously approached and peeked outside. Her jaw dropped when she saw an angel manifest out of thin air. She quickly closed the curtain and backpaddled. Panic gripped her as she collided with Alya, who let out a loud whine like a dog.

            Alya gasped and covered her mouth. “Did I make that noise?”

            Marinette shook herself off and faced Alya. She paused seeing Alya in a light gray crop top, black jacket, gray two-tone gloves, pants, and high-heel wedge boots. Alya’s hair was pulled back into a magnificent gray speckled mane with black ends. Fluffy wolf ears and a tail twitched and moved.

            Marinette grinned as her eyes sparkled. She ran a hand along Alya’s tail and clapped. She messed with Alya’s tail until Alya moved it away. Alya ran her own hand through the tail and was surprised to feel how soft and fluffy it was.

            “It’s like it’s real,” Alya said.

            Marinette nodded.

            Ondine and Mylene woke up and looked around. Ondine stood now dressed in a black feathered leotard, gloves, and boots with black tights and her red hair now black. Mylene wore a blue and black corset, blue jeans, short black platform boots with a blue ribbon, and long black fingerless gloves with a blue ribbon tied at the end. The different colored streaks in her blonde hair now a mix of blue and black accompanied by a long pair of lop rabbit ears. The girls looked at Marinette and squealed.

            “Look at you, Mari! You’re adorable!” Mylene cooed.

            “For real. You look incredible. Just like a superhero from those movies and comics,” Ondine added.

            Marinette blushed and waved a hand dismissingly.

            “Really, you do, girl. You look absolutely gorgeous,” Alya complimented.

            Marinette’s face flushed red as she looked away sheepishly. The girls showered her with more compliments when a bright light passed by the window. Marinette panicked and frantically pointed to the window. The girls looked out as an angel flew by. They all freaked out and ducked down.

            “Was that an angel? Like, an actual angel?” Mylene asked.

            “It sure looked like one. At least, what we’re told angels look like,” Ondine remarked.

            “Do you think it’s the holders of Paradise?” Mylene questioned.

            “I do. Seems like the perfect start to riling up the people,” Alya pointed out.

            “Then let’s go see our enemy,” Ondine declared.

            “Hold up. We need different names. We can’t call each other by our real names,” Alya said.

            “Right. Well, what do we call ourselves?” Ondine asked.

            Alya hummed. “Well, I know my power is tracking, so call me Huntress.”

            “Oh, that’s smart, but I don’t think there’s anything good to use with my power. How about… Luna. Rabbits are sometimes said to be from the moon after all, in some legends at least,” Mylene said.

            Ondine looked away sheepishly. “Why not call me Odette?”

            Luna gasped. “Like from the ballet? Oh, that’s beautiful!”

            “Isn’t Odette the white swan?” Huntress asked.

            “Does that really matter? Besides, it’s my favorite ballet.”

            “Awe!” Luna and Huntress cooed.

            Odette blushed. “Shut up. Anyway, what do we call Marinette?”

            The girls looked at Marinette and brainstormed.

            “Maybe Ladybug?” Odette suggested.

            Marinette curled her lip.

            “Too simple. She needs something more,” Huntress pointed out.

            “Oh! What about Hope?” Luna suggested.

            Marinette tilted her head.

            “Hope?” Huntress asked.

            “Yeah! Think about it, pink has always been Marinette’s color. There’s also what pink stands for. Sure, it’s often seen as a soft and gentle color, but it also means hope,” Luna explained.

            “I think it’s perfect. Marinette has her soft side, but what’s more, she’s a living symbol of hope too,” Odette pointed out.

            “Sure enough. Being the only survivor of a severe collision and still standing strong after it, that takes something special. Something that a lot of people don’t have,” Huntress added.

            Marinette considered and nodded.

            “Alright, Hope it is. We ready, girls?” Huntress asked.

            Hope looked back and pointed towards Bridgette’s room.

            “Maybe it might be best if we leave her here. She did have a rough day,” Huntress explained.

            Hope looked dejected.

            “Hey, it’s all good, girl. She’ll be here where she’s safe and you’ll get to be heroes together another day when Bridgette is in better spirits. Sound good?”

            Hope pouted but nodded.

            “Alright, girls, let’s go. Time to show our villains who they’re messing with!”

~~

            Gabriel and Adrien sat on the couch as they watched a movie. Gabriel took glances at Adrien to check on him. He felt silly always worrying given how well Adrien had been through the day, but he still worried. Not like Emilie though. He feared the coming year and how she’d be. He knew Adrien was everything to her, to them, but especially her. This news and time limit would destroy her, he just knew it.

            “Dad, look!” Adrien yelled.

            Gabriel snapped out of his thoughts. He looked around to see Adrien pointing at the TV. He turned to the screen to see the movie was interrupted by a news broadcast. It showed clips of angels flying through the city near Point Zero outside of Notre Dame Cathedral. A large crowd had gathered with countless reporters as they all recorded the angels that collected above.

            “What’s going on?” Adrien asked.

            “I’m not sure. I wasn’t aware of any shows or such going on tonight. Especially at Notre Dame.”

            They watched as the crowd and reporters’ attention was stolen by a gentle, but loud bird call. Everyone looked around in a panic as the area distorted in and out of a beautiful garden-like paradise. The overhead news cameras spotted a blue woman with a long peacock tail cape atop the cathedral. Everyone took notice and turned to the lady. The live news feed switched between perspectives in an attempt to get a better visual of the mysterious woman.

            “People of Paris, nay, the world, hear me. I come to you all as a messenger of our Lord, the Almighty Father who reigns in Heaven above. The time has come for Paradise!”

            The crowd was stunned silent as were the news cast reporting on this.

            “Paradise? What does she mean?” Adrien asked.

            Gabriel hesitated. “Well, some people believe that the world will return to paradise, but only after a long, gruesome battle between the son of the Lord and the antithesis of him. Those who survive are permitted to live in the newfound paradise.”

            Fear clouded Adrien’s eyes as he turned back to the screen. Gabriel grimaced and looked back too.

            “Fear clouds your hearts and minds, but you need not despair. If you wish to bear witness to the sanctity of Paradise, you must give yourself over to Him. Repent for your sins and cast away all vices for the coming year. For when the upcoming year has expired, Paradise will begin and those who are unclean will pave the foundation and be the roots in which Paradise grows. Save yourselves now and give yourselves over to the Glamor of Paradise!”

            Bright light emitted from Erinona. The crowd yelled as the night was lit up like a firework show. The light vanished and silence filled the air. Everyone gawked at Notre Dame as it stood in a crumbled glorified ruin overgrown by nature. It was a beautiful, heartbreaking sight to behold.

            Erinona jumped and floated down to the entrance. “Paradise awaits inside. Give yourselves to it and assist in freeing the world of sin. Only then will you witness the exclusive Paradise of our Lord.”

            The crowd remained in place a moment longer before a large chunk broke off and ran for the cathedral entrance. Erinona smiled when screams sounded behind her. She heel-turned to see purple and black flames had erupted from the entrance. She ran ahead of the crowd, summoned a pair of fans, and faced the flames. High-pitched laughter mixed with barking filled the area. The flames leapt higher and morphed into a gigantic nine-tailed fox monster with the fur of a starless night.

            “Did I hear ‘Paradise’?” the fox asked in a gnarly, chilling voice.

            Erinona pointed a fan at the fox. “Begone, foul creature. This is sacred ground, no place for the likes of you.”

            “A place as cursed as this? Where you preach the damnation of Paradise? Here I thought I would feel right at home.”

            “Hold your tongue, beast! Paradise is our salvation and it’s creatures like you that will steal it away from us.”

            The fox grinned. It shrieked that made an unearthly noise as it grew and crashed through the ruined cathedral. The fox monster broke apart into a pool of shadows at the busted entrance. Erinona grabbed as many people as she could from the falling debris, but many were out of her reach. She yelled out when a pink yo-yo flew in and emitted a bright light. A large net formed from the light that caught the debris. She rushed people out from under the net when she saw Hope land. All cameras turned to Hope as she stood tall and her head high.

            Adrien’s eyes lit up. “Did you see that, Dad? The ladybug girl saved everyone!”

            Gabriel gave an uneasy smile and nod, then looked back at the TV.

            Erinona approached Hope as a man landed atop the cathedral. Hope grimaced and Erinona looked at the man.

            “Starting the party without me? I’m a little insulted. Everyone knows you wait for the gentleman to join,” the man said.

            Erinona’s face twisted in confusion. “Who are you, kitten?”

            “I go by many names. Cat Noir is preferable, but I won’t mind Cataclysm!”

            Cat Noir thrust his arm in the air. A massive orb of black energy grew and fell into the cathedral. Everyone shielded their eyes from the dust and debris blown everywhere from the destruction.

            Erinona gasped in horror at the utter destruction of the cathedral and Cat Noir who stood proud amongst the ashes. He started towards her when a small fox woman with nine tails emerged from the shadows. The woman cuddled up to him. He sneered but quickly masked his annoyance.

            Cat Noir held out his staff, pointing it at Erinona. “You preach salvation, but you actually preach damnation. Let the sheep fall at your feet, but we won’t be so easily swayed. We will see Paradise destroyed.”

            “Then you will face your own destruction,” Echidna’s voice echoed.

            Everyone shouted and pointed above the area. Echidna hovered over the demolition site. Everyone gawked at Echidna save for Cat Noir, who looked away and shielded his eyes.

            Gabriel’s heart dropped and blood ran cold seeing Echidna. So many features were different, but that face, that was Emilie. What was she doing? What was she planning? How far gone was she?

            Echidna snapped her fingers. The angels that filled the air transformed into six-winged warrior angels. The crowd marveled while Cat Noir grimaced. The fox woman vanished, leaving him all alone.

            “Your partner is smart to abandon you, heathen. Now you may serve as a warning to all who wish to prevent the Lord’s will,” Echidna remarked.

            Echidna snapped her fingers and pointed to Cat Noir. The angels dove down as black smoke burst and engulfed the entire area. The crowd yelled as they were all plunged into pitch black smoke. Echidna snapped her fingers again and transformed the smoke into an ethereal thin mist. She sneered seeing that Cat Noir had fled and Hope was gone.

            “Echidna, I beseech you, assist me in restoring the sanctuary the heathens had destroyed. Let us give the people their sanctuary back.”

            Echidna landed beside Erinona and took her hand. “Together we will restore what those demons destroyed and give the people their salvation.”

      ��     “For the Glamor of Paradise!” Erinona declared.

            “Mold into Paradise!” Echidna yelled.

            Light burst and filled the area. It died away after a few minutes to reveal a rebuilt cathedral overran with the most beautiful flowers, trees, and other foliage decorated the interior and exterior. The cameras panned over the building as the angels landed and turned to stone statues as they stood guard. The cameras shifted from the building to Echidna as she faced the crowd.

            “Rejoice, mortals. Salvation is at hand. Pass through the doors and offer yourselves up. You will emerge reborn in the Lord’s light, blessed with the mark of Paradise. Those with this mark will be saved from the onslaught as demons rise to purge the world to make way for Paradise. Save yourselves now.”

            The crowd stood in stunned silence before the majority ran into the cathedral. Echidna and Erinona bowed to the cameras before they vanished inside. Gabriel grimaced and shut off the TV.

            “Dad?”

            “Let’s not worry about this, Adrien. I… I think it’s time for bed.”

            “Is everything ok?”

            Gabriel sighed. “No, it’s not. I’m worried. This is… troublesome.”

            “What do we do?”

            “I’m going to make some calls. You try to relax. In the meantime, we hope that little ladybug girl can stop this war of magical zealots.”

            “You don’t think she’s alone, do you?”

            “I’m not sure. I can only hope she isn’t, but she may very well be.”

            Adrien looked away in thought. His eyes caught the bracelet as he remembered Sass’s words. “Right. I’ll head upstairs. I’ll call if I need you?”

            Gabriel smiled and hugged Adrien. “I’m sorry. This is… far from what I expected.”

            Adrien returned the hug. “Me too. Sleep well, Dad.”

            “You too, son.”

So since I've never seen anything about it in media. What some example of what Peacock!Amilie can do? (I also feel like since she doesn't seem to be very combative, she would be the poster girl/voice of the villains' whole campaign and gather supporters for it, so something of a cult leader)

You are right that she'd be more of the poster girl to get supporters. As for examples of beauty manipulation... best I can think (since I don't remember many examples in media either) Erinona can change physical appearances of people to make them beautiful or ugly, change the perception of something to be beautiful or ugly, and just things along those lines (and what my tired mind can think of)

[celestiall0tus]

So Erinona is technically capable of body manipulation, perception manipulation, and environment manipulation (which, in a way, makes her a combination of the butterfly and mouse). Well, she is immediately far more terrifying than before, and probability is more terrifying than any other peacock (and this is from someone who has seen Mayura throw hands), which is kinda fitting for Paradise and really gives her Femme Fatale vibes.

I can say Erinona is terrifying in terms of powers, but not combat. In terms of other peacocks, Erinona is top with powers, but when it comes to combat prowess and brutality, Miraculous AU Mayura takes that one. After all, that Mayura will and has killed. Erinona may be ok with Echidna's plans and methods, but not willing to bloody her own hands.

[celestiall0tus]

So are Erinona's "tail feathers" one solid cape, or are they each large ribbons that she can mentally control?

Short answer, solid cape.

Fun answer:

Erinona's design was inspired by this piece of clothing

she originally was going to have more of an ensemble that match Emilie's Echidna, but some changes were made in the design process. This includes the cape.

So, I raised the cape tail to display it in the design, but normally her cape lays flat along the ground like this

(found both these images on Pinterest)

Much like a peacock when threatened or intimidating (or mating) her tail cape will lift and fan similarly as shown in the drawing. So, to an extent, she can control if it's laid flat or fanned out

Let's here about the powers of the pretty bitches (the peacocks) and Gabriel (but only after you've had enough time to relax and regain your energy).

I appreciate ya, but I can't help not talk about these lovelies and Gabriel. So, let's dive into the Peacock of Beauty

We start with the first being Nathalie Sancoeur as Mayura. So, in Miraculous AU her powers are easily overlooked as insignificant unless used properly. Her lesser power is beauty manipulation, allowing her to twist and alter the beauty of a creature or object. A sort of perception manipulation of you will. Her second power is mesmerization where she immobilizes her foes with her stunning beauty, leaving them vulnerable.

Activation Phrases

Transformation: "Duusu, Spread my Feathers"

Lesser Power: Beauty

Greater Power: Mesmerize

Now we have Gabriel in Salvation. His power is limited to the mesmerization that Mayura possesses. Since he'll never become an avatar in the story, that's all he'll ever have.

Activation Phrases

Transformation: "Duusu, Spread my Feathers"

Power: Mesmerize

Juleka Couffaine as Ghoul on Separate Worlds. These powers will function very much like Absolution's power system with a passive and main power. For Ghoul, her passive is absolute beauty, meaning she will be regarded as the most beautiful creature alive, putting even Aphrodite to shame. Her main power will be mesmerization.

Activation Phrases

Transformation: "Duusu, Spread my Feathers"

Power: None/Innate

Ah, what are the odds. Emilie Graham De Vanily getting the peacock in All That Remained when Amelie gets it in Paradise? Beautiful. Anyway, going with a theme made obvious now, Emilie will be called Hera. Her power is mesmerization.

Activation Phrases:

Transformation: "Duusu, Spread my Feathers"

Power: Dazzle

Ah, Amelie has her chance with peacock in Paradise as Erinona. Unlike the previous peacocks that have been relegated to mesmerization, Erinona is capable of beauty manipulation that allows her to create, shape, and manipulate the beauty in everything. This includes things on a physical, mental, conceptual, and natural.

Activation Phrases:

Transformation: "Duusu, Spread my Feathers"

Power: Glamor

You know, you'd think I'd have made Adrien the peacock sooner, but here we are at long last in Court of Miracles. Adrien is amongst the few highborn in this AU with a generous selection of powers. These include:

Back to sketching some Paradise swaps. Today I bring a sketch of Amelie as Erinona

[celestiall0tus]

Who are all the characters in your new banner? I'm really curious about that peacock girl, because, as far as I'm aware we haven't seen a female peacock with loose hair that wasn't covered (that last part refers to Erinona)

Well, since you asked

Let's run through them. Starting with the main row from left to right:

Volpina, Mouse!Luka, Court of Miracles!Adrien, the middle with my self sona are past OCs called Roxanne, Rose, and Night, Siren, Delphyne, and an OC from my original work Vanguard known as Demon.

Top row from left to right:

Souris Blanche, Faerie, Velze, Peacock!Marinette, and Hope.

Bottom three from left to right:

Void, Absolution!Papillon, and Court of Miracles!Luka

Miraculous Paradise - Chapter 17 - Choosing Sides

Beginning || Previous || Next

            Sabrina’s eyes fluttered open as she woke up to a dark room. She panicked and sat up. She blinked a few times as her eyes adjusted well to the darkness. She moved to turn on the light to her shock that she couldn’t see in normal colors. She looked around and immediately saw a dog snout muzzle on her face. She ran to the bathroom and looked in Chloe’s mirrors.

            Sabrina’s eyes widened to see she wore a cropped tactical jacket, pants, and sneakers. Her shoulder-length hair was cut into a close pixie with a set of dog ears framing her head. She giggled and played with her ears when she felt something wagging behind her. She turned to see a fluffy tail. She spun around to get a good look when she froze. Her ears perked up when she heard movement. She trotted out as Chloe stood.

            Sabrina gasped. Chloe was dressed in a fur trimmed, striped leotard with fur cuffed thigh-high boots and long, ballroom gloves. Her hair was tied back into a bun with a set of bee antenna atop her head. In addition to the outfit, she had a set of bee wings, compound bee eyes, and a bee’s abdomen.

            Sabrina yipped like a dog and circled Chloe. “Look at you! You look absolutely gorgeous, Chloe.”

            Chloe focused and looked at Sabrina. “Oh. My. God. Look at you, little precious pet! You’re a little golden retriever!”

            Sabrina looked down at her clothes when Chloe cupped Sabrina’s face and played with the dog ears. She grinned under her mask as her tail wagged.

            “Awe! Who’s a good doggie? You are. Yes, you are.”

            Sabrina reveled in the attention when she remembered why they accepted the kwamis. “Chloe, we need to find the butterfly and peacock. We need to head to Notre Dame.”

            “Huh? Oh, right. Think they’re still out?”

            “Worth a shot, right?”

            Chloe nodded. She opened the balcony doors, then scooped up Sabrina.

            Sabrina yelped. “What’s going on?”

            “It’ll be faster this way. Now hold on tight to me.”

~~

            Zoe’s eyes fluttered as she returned to her body. She blinked against the darkness, but her eyes didn’t adjust. She stumbled around in darkness when she felt the ruffle of her curtains. She threw them open to let in the light of the late-night city. She admired the view as she felt a rush of homesickness. The only thing there was to remind her of home. She stared at the window when her focus shifted to her reflection.

            Zoe’s grungy clothes had transformed into a black sleeveless cropped hoodie with a red hourglass on it, mask, undershirt, long gloves, pants, and knee-high boots. Her blonde hair was black with a pair of red streaks in her forelocks. Her sclera was black and her blue eyes a vibrant red. Black belts decorated her waist, gloves, pants, and boots with one holding a sheathed dagger.

            Zoe admired her new outfit when she saw a pair of women fly by, a bee and a dog. She grinned as she knew it was Chloe and Sabrina. She stepped out onto her balcony, amazed that she didn’t feel the cold. She stepped up onto the balcony railing as new information flooded her. She shuffled her feet before she leapt up and landed on the rooftop across the street.

            Zoe grinned and stood. She hurried after Chloe to the base of the fanatics.

~~

            Echidna let out an exhausted sigh. She had seen to the last of the people that sought their protection. She and Erinona watched the last of the people leave before she collapsed onto the altar.

            “Sister?” Erinona asked.

            “Don’t mind me. Might have overdone it a little.”

            “Careful! We may have the powers of gods, but we need to be careful else we’ll draw on our own lives.”

            Echidna hummed. “Right. Perhaps we should get going now.”

            “Why bother? We can just stay here for the night.”

         ��  “Shouldn’t we return to home?”

            “I mean, we could, but I’d rather avoid the confrontation with Colt as long as possible. Assuming he’d have even recognized me.”

            Echidna’s heart dropped. “You don’t think… he was watching, do you?”

            “If he wasn’t, Colt would have shown him. Colt so does love to make people miserable.”

            Echidna grimaced. “Perhaps we could use some time to composure ourselves. You know, prepare for that whole conversation later.”

            “Exactly! Now, let’s take a look around. I’m sure there’s a lovely area we can make a home away from home.”

            Erinona moved to leave the chapel when the doors flung open. Chloe and Sabrina ran up before Erinona and Echidna. Chloe knelt followed by Sabrina. Erinona and Echidna exchanged glances, then looked back at the girls.

            “Who are you two and what brings you here?” Echidna demanded.

            Chloe and Sabrina hesitated. A moment passed before Chloe looked up.

            “I know who you are, and you know me. If not in my face, then by my voice. Understand that I also know why you do this. For that reason alone, I am here to offer myself to your cause,” Chloe said.

            “And I’m here for her,” Sabrina added, pointing to Chloe.

            Echidna’s jaw dropped. She covered it as she glanced at Erinona, then back at Chloe.

            Erinona stepped forward. “Are you ladies sure? This will be no easy fight and there is opposition.”

            “That’s fine! I’ll fight whoever if it means we save him, my brother. Please. Let us help in your crusade,” Chloe insisted.

            “I mean, we’ll need all the help we can get,” Erinona commented.

            “We can offer more than just ourselves too. We have connections that can aid you. Bring you more followers and assistance in purging the world of sin to make way for Paradise,” Chloe added.

            Echidna sighed. “Alright. If that’s what you girls want, we’ll accept your help. Just be prepared to fight anything that comes your way. Our opposition will stop at nothing to bring us down.”

            “You can count on us!” Chloe declared.

            Sabrina nodded.

            “Very well. What do you call yourselves?” Echidna asked.

            “Uh. We don’t have names, ma’am,” Sabrina admitted.

            “Oh! Can we name you two?” Erinona asked.

            Chloe and Sabrina exchanged glances, then nodded.

            Erinona squealed and approached Sabrina. “You, little puppy, will be Cerberus.”

            Sabrina winced. “Cerberus? Can it be something to do with love?”

            “Love? Well, how about… oh! What about Agape?”

            Sabrina considered and nodded. “Agape is better.”

            Echidna nodded and approached Chloe. “From this day forth, you will be known to the world as Ambrosia. Be their promise of long life and immortality within Paradise.”

            “Not today!” a voice yelled.

            Everyone looked around when Zoe jumped from the rafters into the aisle.

            “Who are you, interloper?” Erinona demanded.

            “I am Widow. I’m here for the bitch you call ‘Ambrosia.’”

            Erinona and Echidna moved to defend Ambrosia, but she stood ready with a lasso in hand.

            “Allow me,” Ambrosia said.

            “Alone? Are you-?” Erinona started.

            “Trust her,” Agape begged.

            Erinona and Echidna exchanged glances, then nodded. They retreated to an adjacent room while Agape hid behind the altar.

            Widow pulled out her dagger and summoned another before she charged at Ambrosia. She swung wildly at Ambrosia, who deftly dodged her attacks. Ambrosia attempted to wrangle her into the lasso, but she dodged each attempt.

            Agape watched Widow and Ambrosia’s dance. She waited a moment longer, then summoned her weapon, a bow. She crouched close to the ground, notched an arrow, and waited until Ambrosia snagged Widow. Widow sneered, went to cut the rope, and she loosened the arrow. It flew and drove through Widow’s hand.

            Widow sucked in a breath. She clutched her dagger and fumbled to cut the rope when more arrows pierced her shoulder and arm. She recoiled in pain as another volley lodged into her leg. She swore and dropped her dagger.

            Ambrosia moved to pick it up when there was a series of loud pops. Widow instinctively hit the floor and covered her head. She stared at the ground as smoke wafted into her view. She looked up to see the room had filled with black smoke. She struggled to move when Ambrosia’s scream tore through the air. She looked back as the golden rope vanished and a shadowy figure stole her away.

            Void emerged from Notre Dame with Widow in her arms. Widow blinked and looked up at her.

            “Who are you?” Widow demanded.

            “An ally.”

            “How can I be sure?”

            “Would you rather I left you at the hands of our enemy?”

            Widow considered. “Fine. Can you at least drop me off at home?”

            “I will, wherever that is, after we tend to your wounds.”

            “We?” Widow echoed.

            Void grinned. “Hold on tight, little one.”

~~

            Adrien opened his eyes as he woke up. He shook his head and raised his hand to his head. He paused seeing the dark glove and long sleeve. He rushed to his bathroom, turned on the light, and examined himself. His clothes had transformed into a teal, long sleeved crop hoodie and pants with dark teal gloves and boots. A dark teal undershirt covered his midsection along with a scaly underbelly akin to a snake. A long cloth snake tail extended from the back of his top to the floor and then some. His face was covered in snake-like mask with the lower half of his face and hair exposed. His eyes had changed to yellow sclera with teal snake-like eyes.

            Adrien let out a breath as he turned off the light and ran back out. Adrenaline coursed through him at the bizarre energy that coursed through him. He jumped around his room, amazed at the height he was now capable of before he turned his sights outside. He managed to crack the window open and slipped out.

            Adrien took a deep breath of the winter air but didn’t feel the cold. He leapt from his window over the mansion wall, careful not to leave any fresh prints in the snow. He landed on the sidewalk and took a breath. He looked around the empty street before he jumped up onto the rooftops. He glanced around at the beautiful city around him lit up with all manner of lights. He took a breath and ran.

            Adrien grinned, unable to contain his glee as he moved and jumped around. He reveled in his newfound freedom as he swung around from trees and poles to doing flips he had seen heroes do in movies. He missed the landing on several of them, but even the brief pain of the impact was new and different. He quickly shook himself off before he’d attempt again and again, each try with varying degree of failure and success.

            Adrien jumped, but caught his foot on a railing. He sucked in a breath as he plummeted and landed on the sidewalk. Panic seized him when he heard someone else let out a breath. He looked down and froze. He landed on a guy with medium-length black hair with bright red dyed tips amd fair skin dressed in grungy, ripped rocker clothes.

            Adrien got up and helped the guy by putting him on his feet. He turned tail and ran away as he heard a loud shriek. He booked it far from the guy before he stopped up on the Eiffel Tower. He hid behind a column and squealed. That man was unbelievably beautiful. He’d never seen a man as handsome as that one except on TV. He wondered what kind of person the guy was. He assumed that the guy was some sort of bad boy or misunderstood villain with a big heart based on what he was wearing. He wondered if he could see the guy again. Would he be able to find the guy? He sure hoped so.

            “Well, well, look what we have here,” a woman said.

            Adrien looked up from his thoughts at a woman looming over him. She wore a cropped red tank top, black and red biker jacket, a black coin pendant strung through with red string, black gloves with three fingers uncovered, black bellbottom pants, and black boots. Her voluminous black hair streaked with red with a large forelock over her right eye, leaving her left, red eye exposed.

            “Who are you?” Adrien asked.

            The woman’s eyes widened, and she laughed. “I don’t believe it. The little sickly boy. How did you come into possession of a miraculous?”

            Adrien tilted his head. “Miraculous? You mean my bracelet?”

            “Your bracelet? Interesting. How did you come into possession of it?”

            “The doctor, well, I suppose my kwami, gave it to me. He told me it’d keep me well for the next year.”

            “It’s doing its job. Though, what brings you out here at this hour? Shouldn’t you be resting?”

            “Oh? Oh! I did this so I could find the ladybug girl from the news. I want to help her.”

            “What a coincidence. I’m looking for her too, but she doesn’t seem to be out anymore. I was actually on my way home when I found you, little one.”

            Adrien looked dejected. “Oh.”

            “Though, tell you what, why don’t we meet up tomorrow and look for her together?”

            “Really? You’d do that? But why?”

            “Because a certain someone we both know asked me to help her too.”

            “Who do we both know?”

            “That’ll be a conversation for another time, little one. For now, let’s get you home.”

            “But I just got out here!”

            “One night for many more to come. Besides, the ladybug girl is no longer out. What point more is there to being out and running on fumes for the next day?”

            Adrien sighed. “I suppose.”

            “Atta boy! Let’s get you home.”

            “Oh! What’s your name?”

            “Huh? Oh, right. Call me Dragnet.”

            Adrien stood and held out a hand. “Pleasure to meet you, Dragnet. I’m A-.”

            Dragnet pressed a finger against Adrien’s lips. “Aspik. Pleasure to meet you, Aspik.”

            “Er, right. Aspik.”

            “Keep your identity close to your chest, Aspik. It’s the most valuable thing you have that your enemies will seek to exploit. Understand?”

            “Oh? Oh! Yes, ma’am!”

            “Good. Now, let’s get you home.”

Out of the recent designs you've done, which has been your favorite? Also, I love your Erinona design! She is so pretty and fantasy like and I can't get enough of it! She also reminds me of Mystique from the x-men, and I am all here for it (femme fatale vibes all the way)! Also, Ambrosia is really cute, too. I like the bee butt/abdomen really helps sell the animal-human hybrid vibe the Paradise villains have so far.

Shit. Let me grab my phone and take a look for a refresher

So, I'll go based up til October first to narrow things down. That said, I would have to say...

[celestiall0tus]

Paradise, Erinona

Together, the twins. Amelie and Emilie as Erinona and Echidna.

I honestly love the designs of these two. They are borderline monstrous.

Miraculous Paradise - Chapter 8 - Echidna and Erinona

Beginning || Previous || Next

            Emilie and Amelie opened their eyes to a blinding light. The light diluted with blue, green, and purple. White butterflies fluttered around while they were surrounded by peacocks with their tails all fanned out.

            “What is this?” Amelie asked.

            “I’m not sure,” Emilie admitted.

            The twins held each other’s hand as they eyed the butterflies and peacocks. The peacocks’ tail feathers all rustled and fell away. The twin’s eyes widened when they saw themselves as children. They played in the green grass under an endless blue sky.

            “Aww! Look, sister. Remember those days? Ah, such carefree days filled with bliss. Long before we were adults. Long before, well, you know.”

            Emilie didn’t respond. Sorrow struck her heart seeing her younger self play with a young Amelie. Those were the happiest days of her life. The sweet bliss of simpler times mixed with the innocence of youth. Long before the realities of adulthood sunk their claws in. Long before the cruel truths and failures.

            The peacocks and butterflies moved down an invisible path. Amelie took Emilie’s hand and dragged her down it. On the left were the peacocks while the on the right were the butterflies. They watched as the peacocks morphed into the distant memories of Amelie’s courtship with Colt. Amelie gagged at the charming bastard that Colt pretended to be to win her approval.

            “Smug bastard. If only I knew what he was really like, well, I can’t say I’d change much. I got my Felix, but that’s the only good thing he did for me. Even then, the process wasn’t pleasant. He only took and never gave.”

            Amelie prattled on while Emilie looked to the right. The butterflies showed her courtship with Gabriel. She smiled seeing the amazing man he was back then that he still was. All the kindness, love, and creativity never lost throughout the years. She was grateful to have him in her life. He was her rock, her shoulder, her everything. She loved that man with her entire heart.

            “Oh! Look! My little Felix!” Amelie squealed.

            Emilie looked over and saw the day Felix had been born. Everyone celebrated and visited the newborn. She was happy for Amelie that day, but she’d never forget the bitter resentment. She wanted her own child so badly at that point. She had used the same treatments as Amelie, but nothing worked for her. At least until that fateful day.

            Emilie looked to the right as it showed her in the garden that day. She scrunched her face as it was from an odd angle. She watched through the foulage and fauna at herself praying. Within the greenery, a teal snake with diamonds along its back slithered through. Her jaw dropped as the snake took interest in her. It watched her for a moment longer, then vanished. She saw herself stand up, certain child was on the way.

            Emilie covered her mouth. She squeezed Amelie’s hand as bile rose to her throat.

            “Sister? What’s wrong?”

            Emilie looked up. “What was that? Was that a demon? A devil in disguise?”

            Silence.

            Amelie grimaced as she dragged Emilie down the path. They both witnessed the years they spent raising their sons. Amelie had always been at Colt’s throat over how to raise Felix but was always overruled by her parents in the end. They had told Amelie it was better to let Colt raise Felix and not get involved, but that didn’t stop her from fighting for Felix. Emilie had always been at Adrien’s side with Gabriel, caring for him and seeing to his every need. It broke Emilie’s heart all over again to see this and know she only had a year left with Adrien.

            Amelie and Emilie came to the end of the path. The peacocks and butterflies faded into the light when Nooroo and Duusu appeared. Emilie turned and faced the pair of kwamis.

            “Tell me, what was that snake? Was it truly one of you or was it a demon?” Emilie demanded.

            “That was Sass. He was responsible for the miracle that gave you Adrien… and he’s responsible for the poison that’ll take him away. You merely asked for a child, so a child is all you get,” Nooroo explained.

            “What?” Emilie screeched.

            “That’s right. And it’s the very same Sass needed for Paradise,” Duusu added.

            Tears ran down Emilie’s face. Pain tore through her heart as anger heated her blood. She was going to lose Adrien because of a creature that supposedly cared about life so much that it got involved when it was in danger? All because her Adrien wasn’t a boy anymore, but was becoming a man? How was that fair? Why was it punishing her in such a way? Was her defects as a woman not enough punishment?

            Nooroo approached Emilie. “Do you-?”

            “Yes. Yes, yes, yes! I don’t care what price or curse awaits me. I’ve already said it, but I’ll burn down this entire world, lose myself to the flames, and rise a monster if it means saving my Adrien,” Emilie roared.

            Nooroo bowed his head. His body dissolved into light that wrapped around Emilie’s body.

            Amelie’s eyes widened as Emilie vanished before her.

            “Alright, darling, your turn. Do you-?”

            “Yes! I’ll do whatever if it means helping my sister.”

            Duusu grinned. He flew closer until their faces were an inch from each other’s. “Then rise a true goddess.”

            Amelie opened her mouth when Duusu’s body dissolved into light that wrapped around her. She gasped at the indescribable sensation that overtook her. She sighed as she vanished into the light.
