Once upon a time, millennia ago, in a great desert, there was a Kingdom hidden in a piece of paradise called Soleanna.

Soleanna was a medium-sized Kingdom, hidden in an Oasis with a location lost in the sands of time, a Kingdom whose hard-to-find location and the small number of sorcerers present was its greatest protection, the royal family kept its small people as safe and content as possible for 2 centuries reigning with assertiveness and care.

That is, until that foreign wizard visited...

He was a strange man, bringing studies and research about a prophecy speaking of a "Supreme Protector" who would fight to protect the world from a "Great evil", spreading stories about how if they could bring this "Protector" over to their side, the Kingdom would never be invaded and everyone would be protected forever. The man spoke so loudly and with such certainty that his words reached the King's ear, earning him an audience with the royal family.

King Memphis was a calm and diplomatic man, always willing to listen and greet the world with open arms, Queen T'nesse on the other hand was the backbone of the couple, she was the one who calmed her husband's idealistic thinking and tried to turn his extremely optimistic ideas into something more realistic, a woman with a face of stone and a heart of gold.

Now, the couple's son was a different case.

Prince Solaris was another story, a cold-hearted, rotten-souled and manipulative young man with a strong connection to Cursed Energy, pulling out the worst parts of his parents' personalities.

How, when or why has been lost to time, but legends and stories say that the prince went after the foreign sorcerer, seeking the power to become the "Supreme Protector" of the prophecy the man religiously spreaded. The cursed energy works with the intentions of a person's heart, and someone as arrogant and self-centered as Prince Solaris...

The experiment went wrong and the young prince died before he even came close to having half of the cursed energy that the sorcerer continued to imbue in his body after his departure, a person with a heart as polluted as the prince's surrounded by a big amount of cursed energy at the time and after his death is a perfect recipe for the birth of a curse.

Solaris became an evil creature who sought at all costs to become not the Protector but the Ultimate Life Form, destroying everything and everyone in his path to gain more and more power.

Soleanna went through years of battles and countless losses until they found a way to stop the bloodshed. A young sorceress with hair as red as the sunset sky and feathers in her hair found not only a way to seal it, but also a way to separate the curse to make it easier to seal.

The curse was separated into two parts, Mephiles, The Entity of Chaos and Iblis, The Flame of Disaster, making it easier to seal, but a big mistake was made when sealing them. In exchange for the life of the red-haired sorceress, Mephiles was successfully sealed inside the "Scepter of Darkness" and Iblis fled, not only afraid of suffering the same fate as his other half, but also terrified in case the sorceress' plan failed and Mephiles wanted to become one again.

Using powers beyond comprehension at the time, Mephiles and the Sceptre of Darkness travel between time and space, searching for Iblis who travels through different eras and times, running away from his other half, one wishing and the other dreading for the day when they would inevitably meet and return to being Solaris.

In the present day, Mephiles has taken the physical form of this century's "Ultimate Life Form", looking for a fight against the one who holds the title he has longed for throughout his immortal life. And Iblis, Iblis is hiding out in Japan, inhabiting the body of a boy while hiding under a new name, keeping himself safe from his other half with the epithet "King of Curses".

[inbabylontheywept]

the house i grew up in was a little bit of a fixer upper. for the first 19 years, my dad just sort of slowly fixed it, but pretty early on in college, he came into a large amount of cash and decided to just do the whole thing at once. so he rented a different house for like, 2 months that was just a block down from us, and then got a bunch of contractors to fix original house ASAP. it was kind of crazy, but it compressed many years of work into like, three months.

the sitting in a new house for three months was actually pretty fun. and i shouldnt really complain at all (staying at home while in college is a sweet deal)

but.

but. my parents are fairly hard of hearing, and their bedroom in the old house was in the furthest possible annex from everyone else. wheras in the rental it was just in the middle of the house. so without going into details, i was extremely aware that my parents were having sex like, eight times a day. my dad had just retired and i guess they were celebrating, which is great i guess, having parents that really like each other is way better than the alternative, but also, it did make me envy their deafness. i kept headphones on for so long that year i got literal ear calluses.

at the same time, the house my buddy from the shoe incident grew up in flooded. turbo flooded. they burst like, two pipes at once and the damage was so severe they had to redo all the flooring and all the drywall. his family actually had homeowners insurance, which is either incredible or suspicious for a family that used the drained pool in their backyard to store rusty scrap metal. so insurance was handling the work, but in the meantime, they were crammed into a very small hotel room space. we did the math on it then, it averaged about 80 square feet a person.

so one day i got home, and i was chilling, and then six rolled around, and apparently six o'clock was sex o'clock because my parents decided to flex their cardio. i grabbed my headphones and prayed that god would do for me what he did for beethoven, but that failed to work, and then seven rolled around and my parents were still at it, which again, very impressive, but was pushing me to swap out judas for mozart in those prayers. there's a definitive point where you stop praying to be deaf and instead pray that god could take you to a nice field and pop you like a gore-balloon.

i was about five minutes away from that point when my friend called me and basically said i have been stuck in a 500 square foot space with 6 people and i didn't have many marbles to start but what few i had are gone. please. if we are friends, if we were ever friends, take me out of here just for a moment.

and i was still pretty mad at him, but i had pity on the poor guy. also helped that i was desperate to leave the house. so i drove the chickenshitmobile to the hotel and i picked him up, and then we did our normal hangout activity, which was go to food city and buy produce. his normal house was, on a good day, nasty, and his backyard was, as i stated before, mostly used to store mosquito larvae and rusty metal, so what we'd always done before was just walk to the grocery store a half block away and leer at vegetables.

so we did that and it was like old times again. they had some radishes that were expired, so i could buy like, literally an entire grocery bag of them for about $5. so i did. i really like radishes. he got a coconut because he liked fruit and beating things with hammers.

which probably would've been great except we didn't have a hammer, so instead we spent about 30 minutes stomping itike it owed us money. when it finally cracked we cheered like we just got the winning touchball at the superdome and then he ate some of the flesh, and i ate some of the radishes, and we admired the black, starless sky of the city before i took him back to his hotel room.

and then we got pulled over.

i forgot to turn my lights on because the street all around the food city was ludicrously well lit. so it went from being pretty bright, to pretty bright and flashy, then i pulled into a parking lot and a cop came to ask us for IDs which is where everything went to shit:

i’d forgotten my license at home. 

the cop was was actually kind of chill about it - he said he could get by with just an address. except i did not know my address. i hadn't memorized the new one yet. so i told the cop, my house is getting remodeled, i don't know my address right now. and then he went to my friend, and my friend said the exact same thing. house getting remodeled, staying somewhere else, no address, sowwwwwwy.

now the cop genuinely didn't know what to do. he went back to his car, and i was stressed that i was about to get into HUGE trouble so i started eating the radishes and my buddy started eating more of his coconut, and we actually managed to eat like a quarter of both before the cop came back. we ate enough produce that he could smell something weird in the air, and he asked what the smell was, and i said radishes, and my buddy said coconut, and the cop said which, and then we produced a large bag of droopy radishes and an absolutely brutalized coconut, and the cop was just like

so my buddy tried explaining how he was sharing a 500 square foot apartment with 6 people and wanted a fruit he could fight with power tools, and i tried explaining how i'd actually tried buying my parents like, board games and puzzles and stuff but nothing worked - the only thing my parents seemed to like doing right now was each other, and we both went on long enough and pathetically enough that the cop eventually went:

ok. stop.

and we stopped.

and he said do you know why i pulled you over?

and i said, because of my headlights, and my friend (who is hispanic) and the cop both looked at me like like i was the dumbest person in the entire world. and then the cop said no. that's why i'm allowed to pull you over. i checked your car because this neighborhood has a terrible sex trafficking problem, and i pull over every car i can to make sure no one is buying or selling sex. and you two are obviously doing neither. now i could give you, like, four tickets right now, but that would do nothing to make this area safer, so just turn your lights on, go home, drive safe, and try to be less stupid in the future.

and i said okay but i was thinking, you know, damn, this is just how i live man, i don't have a hidden third gear i can shift into. people can't just get smarter because it would be convenient. it's always convenient to be smart. i am literally trying my best.

but i didn't say anything because i was, slowly, learning how to filter what i said. instead i nodded and the cop left then i dropped my buddy off, and the last thing he said was said he owed me for responding to his SOS. I said he owed me for a lot of things, and he agreed that was true. then i drove home with my lights on, 5 under the speed limit, and arrived to a peaceful quiet home. I could’ve wept with relief but instead I went to bed.

the relief was short lived. i was woken up at 6 am by my parents. i swore, and then i prayed, and when i did not explode, i swore again. then i got up to make breakfast before my first class.

You know what I need more of? The Batkids completely fucking with the Justice League and their rogues and coming up with stories for their existence.

Like I am talking about the creation of demigods sort of stories, like Loki sort of stories.

Duke has convinced all of Gotham that he's the Bat Signal brought to life and that's why he's never seen at night and why the signal literally doesn't work during the day. He's waiting giddily for the story to spread outside of the city.

The batkids have convinced half the League that Nightwing is quite literally Batman's lovechild with Justice. Hey, Constantine had a one night stand with the manifestation of a city and they've dealt with gods before, so surely it's not that surprising? Right???

I need more of the Batkids being little shits, of Alfred the-greatest-enabler Pennyworth backing them up and Bat(the-biggest-troll)man to never confirm the stories, but he doesn't deny them either.
