THE BEGINNING

chapter 8

(chapter list)

content warnings for threats, blood mentioned and in the art, a little swearing

the snow rumbles in the wind as the group make it outside. zane stands by the door, looking out at the frosty expanse.

"took you guys long enough. it's freezing out here!"

kai raises an eyebrow. "you're a nindroid? the cold doesn't affect you?"

"that's the point." he grins. he's still pretty mad at kai after what he did to boreal. "where's our exit by the way? i hope we don't have to walk too far."

a few of the group members groan. cole walks up beside him. "zane, you're kind of a dick, you know that?"

zane smiles smugly. "courtesy of the ice emperor."

"sure buddy." cole continues past him and ahead of the group. "come on, we took the land bounty. it should be over here somewhere."

did cole just- ugh that's no fun.

he follows along, feet crunching under the snow with each step. his interface tells him that his internal temperature is lowering. it's odd but shouldn't be a problem.

"it's over there!" jay calls, pointing at somewhere to their left. he turns to find it parked off in the distance just barely hidden in the forest.

oh wow. it's so... small. and old. small and old. first master, did they really use that thing to get around? he sighs, trudging towards it.

zane notices behind him that every time he steps he leaves red in the snow. that's fun.

if he had the staff then he could probably use it as a pen. he'd need more blood though.

come to think of it, where is the staff? he looks around the group. ah, nya has it. it doesn't seem to be powered though.

he can see the two formlings as well. of course they're coming along. he wishes they would just- no! snap out of it. they're good. (apparently).

he approaches the vehicle, entering to the main cabin. but the minute he does, something locks around his wrists. he looks down to see them cuffed. "really?"

lloyd smiles. "just being cautious."

he sighs, moving to take a seat by the window. man, he can't wait til they get to ninjago. he wonders what they'll do with him. prison? back to the same old ninja work? maybe even expelled from the monastery to live a normal life.

wouldn't that be nice. he absentmindedly looks outside, seeing an army of trees staring back. the engine revs and they begin to reverse into the snow covered plains.

zane watches the palace grow smaller and smaller until it's just a speck in the horizon. guess that's his life of luxury over, he sighs.

he watches for a few more minutes but eventually decides to close his eyes.

when he opens them again he sees that they're just outside a village. he might've attacked this village before actually. heck, he definitely did. best to stay away from the windows, he decides.

he stands up and looks around, the rest of the team are outside. he sighs. but he has to stay inside. there's nothing inside! he's bored already. fsm this sucks.

maybe he could run a system diagnostic? he still needs to figure out what's causing the glitch. -- other than nya throwing him into a wall, of course.

yeah, that works. hopefully they don't take too long.

zane sits back down with a sigh, beginning the process.

things seem to be doing ok in terms of processing and memory. his energy levels look to be a little lower though.

he checks his power source.

that's... no.

no that can't be right.

the core isn't being actively powered. he's just running off leftover energy!

could it be something to do with his ice? what took his element away? the scroll? but it's been 60 years and nothing happened! why would it only start now?

could it be negative emotions? he lost them when... yeah. fsm he hates this.

he'll figure it out later.

he gives it about... 4 months at best til he's out of power for good.

his eyebrows furrow. he... can make it work. hopefully.

but what if he doesn't? what if he's dying? and for good this time?

his gears hitch.

he's going to fix it.

he has to.

zane looks down at the cuffs on his wrists. honestly he should try to get them off, they're kind of annoying.

he stands again and moves to search the bounty. there don't seem to be any good tools he can use to pick locks. not even a paper clip!

what kind of ninja even are they?! he looks at the metal bindings in disgust. are they even metal? they look like metal.

embedded in the sides of the cuffs however is a strip of dark, almost black material. he can see specks of yellow in there too.

oh you have got to be kidding me.

it's vengestone.

he sighs. well, that's another thing to add to the list. 3 things that could've stolen his powers away.

though, he lost his powers before being cuffed. did lloyd bring them with him? no. he would've used them if he did.

this is... confusing. to say the least.

he hears a shuffle by the door.

a young voice emanates from outside. "hey! look! look! asha's doing it!"

he turns to see a small child, about 10 by the looks of things, with long dark hair. they stand at the door grinning to something outside.

what does he do in this situation?! does he hide? if this child sees him then his cover is blown! but he can't just let them intrude!

the child turns to look at him. too late.

they screech a bit before gaining composure. "um. hello!"

"hi...?"

"who are you?"

"i'm..." shitshitshit "i'm popsicle!"

popsicle?! he mentally punches himself. of all things--!

"i'm asha!" they smile. "what are you doing in the metal house, mr popsicle?"

he panics.

"the ninja saved me from the big mean ice emperor! i'm just waiting for them to come back!"

nice save.

"the ice emperor!" asha scowls. "i don't like him. if i ever see him i'll throw 500 snowballs at his face!"

he tries to stifle a laugh but fails.

"500 of them? really?"

wow, this kid is out to get him. good thing he's popsicle right now, else he would be in deeeeep trouble.

"i could probably do 501." asha ponders.

he chuckles.

another voice whispers loudly from outside. "asha! your mother is coming! get out of there!"

"uh oh." asha perks up. "well, i've gotta go mr popsicle. it was nice talking to you!"

"asha! let's go!"

they pause. "wait! one more thing."

"hm?" zane questions.

asha seems to fumble with something around their neck before holding it out in front of them.

it's a necklace?

they walk up to zane and gesture for him to put his hand out. wait. really?

he hesitates. "are you sure?"

asha nods confidently. they don't seem to care about the cuffs.

"it means luck and good fortune." they smile.

he holds onto it.

"wow, i--" he feels his gears hitch. "thank you."

"it's no problem, mr popsicle."

asha walks quickly back to the door. turning to wave before disappearing forever.

what just happened?

he stands there, dumbfounded, before looking at the necklace in his hand.

it's got a silver chain that drapes into gold. an intricately carved sunflower displaying a yellow gemstone at it's center.

it feels special. he grimaces. first master does he even deserve this?

this child-- asha's kindness.

is he worthy?

he sits back down again, staring at the pendant in his hands. he frowns.

zane is tired.

[kam-kkushka]

new slut drop⁉️

hey frens 🤭 i just finished the first flat color of my new oc, so i'm gonna post ha here!

introducing, asha! mainly intended to be my mc for awb and favor. they are a WIP so anything is subject to change! i’m not really happy with their design but i was drawing this for like 3-4 hours and said fuck it i’m exhausted 💀

some info/canons on them, and the flat color under the cut

20 y/o they/them

nepo baby. family rich but not famous. (somewhat) street smart, but math is their worst subject. undecided major.

actually has eldritch genetics that they just... don't know about. it's kraken-like. even if they did know, they probably wouldn't do anything about it.

has an ex-girlfriend named hadiya. asha dumped her because hadi's parents were homophobic. they're still 'friends', though. (they still fuck!!! on the regular!!!!! they are NAWT just friends)

is not a very good person, tbh. fails to think of anyone but themselves sometimes

does not care about anything they don't understand. this is both a blessing and a curse for them.

depending on the day, asha is either the kuromi or my melody gf. no in between

has 4 siblings

is working at the local starbucks for fun

has undiagnosed BPD. their favorite person varies depending on which MC i have them as in a game. literally does not notice or care about any and all red flags their FP shows

runs 2 secret tumblrs: 1 for documenting their days, and another for interactions with whoever they're crushing on (not a real crush most of the time, just FP)

became a satanist after they had a bad trip doing shrooms at 17 alone in their bfs closet. claims satan 'cleared the mist' and saved them

the golden child. parents ignored all of their issues because they, too, ignore any and all red flags in things they like

unironically likes milwaukee music

speaking of music, their fav genre is sigilkore

their dream is to get nipple piercings and a tattoo that says "BABE: bad ass bitch & extraordinaire". and to have someone question their gender (they know it won't happen 😭)

also wants to see how human flesh tastes just for the thrill of it

Twstober Day 4: Haunted

[rpmemesby3chaoticppl]

Seán gently nudges seal Asha aside

Seal Asha: *YOU KICK ASHA!? JAIL FOR OCEAN HORSE!!! JAIL FOR OCEAN HORSE FOR A THOUSAND YEARS!!!!*

Seán: *wheezes*

Jonny who only heard angy seal noises: wut?

[evening-wish]

For the OC interview:

What is something you've always wanted but never told anyone?

ooo this is a bit of a tough one, but i think my wols have interestingly paralleled responses.

asha wants to be able to accept herself. as of endwalker she's been able to confide in others about this, so it's not exactly something she's never said at this point, but it was something she held onto for so long (and something the general public would never believe about the literal warrior of light). even for all her accomplishments and fame, she still couldn't believe in herself and her strengths. when she was at her lowest, g'raha helped her back up and showed her how loved she is for just being herself. she's gained a lot of confidence since then, but self-esteem doesn't change overnight.

kieran, meanwhile, wants to be accepted by others, but also actively sabotages himself. growing up, he never really fit in with his peers. his older sister was really his only friend, and now that he's been exiled, he's lost her. he's found comfort in the scions, but puts on the front they want instead of showing them the person he believes he really is underneath. he can't fully let himself be honest yet, and that's cost him significantly with some of the people he grew close to, particularly minfilia and haurchefant. he's trying so hard to be someone he's not and holding onto the delusion that someone can just magically figure him out so he doesn't have to be vulnerable.

thank you so much for the ask!! <3

[Image: Digital art of Asha depicted in profile with closed eyes. They have an aquiline nose and long hair tied in a partial bun, and are wearing feathered earrings. A vampire bite on their neck is depicted with two red dots. They're backlit by a bright red circle. A white crescent moon is depicted behind their head, and two white dagger symbols point to their chest.]

TESfest day 3: ghost

"The days waned once more in their length, the green draining from the valley like a river to the sea. Donobhan breathed in the scent of the first frost as the sun rose, an ill-advised sense of relief rising in his chest. Skyrim’s winters were cruel, of course; but, oh, how he longed to see his red-haired spirit."

In my fic Like Winter, Donobhan describes Asha as ghostly, beautiful and lonely in the way that ghosts are bound to a life long gone. Being a vampire, a running theme with them is isolation and loneliness as the world passes them by. They're an oc that's very dear to me for sure.

Asha is so cool...😍
