Taking care of you when you’re sick 🤧

Pairing(s): Characters x Gn!sick!Reader (except for Reyna’s)

Character(s): Percy, Annabeth, Grover,Nico, Leo, Frank, Hazel, Jason, Piper, Reyna (platonic)

Me rn:

Percy Jackson

Honestly great at it and it’s honestly not expected but also sort of expected

Hard to explain

But it’s likely that he just brings you back to the apartment he lives in with sally, Paul, and ofc Estelle because even though he sort of doesn’t want to admit it, he needs help

So (imagining you’re super sick) even if you’re a stubborn one, it’s too embarrassing to act up in front of Sally

Someone who is so caring that she makes soup just for you, checks in on you, gives you extra blankets in case, honestly anything really

This transformed more into a Sally taking care of you than Percy but I’m getting there

One day Sally has to go out for an errand and takes Estelle with her, Paul went off to work or something

Leaving you two alone and you basically a burden/j

Also… free to complain all you want

Now if you’re stubborn and make it difficult for him he will fr mock you

Literally why are you being this way when Estelle behaves way better

And she’s a baby

Eventually though, cmon now

Just be willing and maybe he’ll kiss you

As if he isn’t doing so while you doze off on your meds

I’d give him a solid 6/10, not because he’s not my fav character or anything

Of course not

Annabeth Chase

Ideal in theory not in practice

She knows everything there is to know- hell, if she didn’t after years of being a demigod and suffering from injuries then strike me down

Well- no actually I take that back

Annabeth doesn’t actually know a lot aside from when she gets sick

Which happens rarely and goes away as quick as it comes

So now she’s here with you all bundled up-

Also, if you try to be stubborn and act like a big baby, she’s having none of it

You will rest and you will eat to consume your meds

End of story

I don’t make the rules 😭

She will, however, be pleased if you’re happy to comply and get you back to good asap

Although she does bumble a bit at the start- she eventually learns quickly

Which is to be expected

When she first started to struggle with what do to she’s too prideful to ask for help so she settles on asking you how to do well by you

Then she realizes how stupid (or unwise) it was to act that way and decides to just ask any of the Apollo kids she knows won’t tease her

Which is more than half

Only because she knew you’d get worse

I’d give her a solid 7/10

It’s not any longer because she gets to business and gets you healed pretty quick so 🤷

Grover Underwood

I’d say he’s pretty decent at taking care of you too

I mean he probably knows a lot about herbs and stuff that could help you alongside modern medicine that you’re likely taking

Plus when you can’t sleep for whatever reason (*cough*cough* congestion*cough*) he’ll obviously put that humidifier on but also play you a song

Either to help with sleep or just make you feel better

Really depends

Also we all know he’s a saytr

So he’s likely taking care of you despite needing to be elsewhere

And if that duty calls quickly? He feels SO bad 😭 I’m not even exaggerating

He’ll apologize ten times over and try to make up for it

Instead of getting your sleep and rest it just results in you spending that time reassuring Grover

Which, in your opinion, is a time well spent

But not to Grover

Anyways if you’re reluctant to let him take care of you then he’s constantly hassling you to stay resting

Literally got to the point where campers would just see you running by, and see Grover not too behind

Or it’d be you sitting somewhere and Grover trying to convince you why going back would be a good idea

Now, if you’re more than happy to rest and take your medicine?

Absolute angel in Grover’s eyes

Literally makes his life 10000x easier

Him being him, he just ends up helping you heal and recover faster than you normally would’ve otherwise

So honestly? You can try to be stubborn all you want but it’s only going to make you suffer 😭

Not much for him but that’s because besides his nervous energy, he’s probably the best here in terms of actually helping you become unsick

Nico Di Angelo

He’ll try his best to help you out 😭

Which he does a pretty decent job at, all he does is rely on books and what he’s heard from others

So it’s time for Nico to rawdog helping you out because frankly, he’s always been the opposite of a normal person

So, why would he ever get sick?

(Bluds body temperature is probably colder than the Antarctic)

He does the basics like making you drink medicine for your symptoms (e.g. cough, sore throat) and making you soup to the best of his capabilities

If you’re the type of person to be whiny and like to be cared after then he’d sort of tease you for it in his strange little way

Now, if you’re super stubborn and insist on him not helping you-

He takes it personally

Like I’m not even joking

He’ll just side eye you

You’re acting like you weren’t just dying of suffocation before he put the humidifier on a few seconds ago

And he lets that known

So, he asks why you’re being so stubborn and let him spoon feed you‼️

(Only because you ended up being bundled in a blanket burrito and Nico didn’t want to go through putting you in one again afterwards)

Too much hassle

Also applies if you’re being stubborn and he has to forcibly feed you)

He’s honestly getting annoyed at this point so you give him a proposition

You’ll let him take care of you if he gives you cuddles

Now, normally Nico would be so done but he couldn’t resist

So now here you both are underneath the covers

But then Nico ruins it

“Yknow I was gonna cuddle you regardless” (of it you complied or not)

6/10 just for that last comment

(Doing an actual story, will link HERE)

Leo Valdez

Someone please help him

Nah just kidding

Leo is definitely way better with machines than with humans

That’s a fact

But he knew his mom long enough to know the basics of everything

I don’t make the rules, that woman definitely taught him everything there is to know

So here you are on the bed of your room as you hear Leo’s racket going on in the kitchen

Emmie and Jo went out and took a few residents with them, including one of your favorite residents:

Georgina

The ones that stayed behind were either asleep or bundled away under the covers of their beds

(Ignoring those doing chores)

Especially since it was now winter, despite the waystations warmth, a chill seemed to have made it way inside.

Eventually Leo makes his way back up and set down a tray

It had a soup you learned to become familiar with

It was Caldo de Res

So obviously you gobbled that shit up like all the other Mexican foods Leo had made before

Eventually Leo makes you take your medicine because even though he’s all about playing around and stuff, he still likes to care for you

Now, because it’s likely snowing, Leo had to resist and refuse to let you out

You’re already sick, it could get so much worse

But you didn’t listen

Hence you running around like a maniac outside the station yelling as Leo chases you

Afterwards he scolds you but when you point out that fact that he was laughing when he was chasing after you- he shuts up real quick

Leo does realize how boring it probably is for you though so after going back inside he tries to be a source of entertainment for you

He tries to find board games and he luckily does

Which ends with you two moving to the living room (?) or common area

By the time emmie and the other residents return, the tower you built while playing Jenga was sky high and skinny asf

Then Leo crashed it and you both obviously yelled at it

Then Leo got told off for distracting you from resting (although it was done kindly)

Later after dinner, Leo snuck into your room at night and once again began to try to rid you of your boredom

you two began giggling and gossiping in the middle of the night

Then went to bed when someone knocked as kindly asked for you two to quiet down

Leo was embarrassed 💀

Frank Zhang

Surprisingly good at taking care of you

Only saying it’s surprising because I’ve never considered it before

He obviously takes care of your basic needs like meds and just covers you needing anything else like rest or water

If you’re stubborn to actually try to get better- then he’s definitely worried but also confused

Why are you acting this way and also, please just let him help you

Which is honestly sad because even if he’d like to stay by your side for more than a few hours- he really isn’t able to due to praetor duties

I mean it’s a surprise you got a pass on your chores/ duties depending on what your role is

Will definitely feel terrible for having to leave to go do his job but eventually finds someone trusted to look after you

Likely someone indebted to him

(He’d feel a bit sorry for whoever it is if you’re particularly resistful)

Let’s say you actually get sick and there’s no outside forces that can interfere

Frank is a pretty top notch- although a bit anxious - doctor

Likely learned a lot about the healing aspect of Apollo back when being his kid was what Frank wanted most

So he knows a lot from that and is really attentive

After giving you some medicine you had seemingly been knocked out cold so it was natural for Frank to turn down the lights

Before he left the room he decided to give you a kiss on the cheek

You were actually still awake and despite your boyfriends more than accommodating care-

You will be teasing him tomorrow using this instance

Overall I’d give Frank a 9/10

‘He is the worlds most perfect man’

Hazel Levesque

Have you seen her lead the other Roman’s as praetor and even before then ? Yea she’s getting you bundled up and fed

No ifs or buts

This is how she is overall but if you try being stubborn she genuinely doesn’t see why you would be

Like why wouldn’t you want to get better??

Also please don’t sneak out to the weaponry or something because she literally CANT give you special treatment 😭

Despite her seemingly tough demeanor, she really is a fool for you

Not actually- but miss girl is smitten with you

So she sort of takes it easy, occasionally finding her voice and scolding you as lightly as she can

She tries her best to treat you but eventually gets advice and help from others in camp who know more than she does

She ofc knows the basics: consume vitamin c, rest, drink medicine, etc

But she can’t be too sure

I also honestly think she’s way better than Nico, because I didn’t include it but he definitely got some wayward damned spirit to help him out

But not her

Not that that’s bad, but she’s definitely more capable

I do think she bumbled a bit

She had ordered some other campers who specialized in healing to help her out

Before then, she had been taking care of you herself

So when they get there and see her sort of make shift stuff- she’s a bit embarrassed

Yknow, if the blush on her cheeks are anything to go by

Because we’ve already established that she’s better than Nico, I’ll give her a 8/10

Because she’s really good at taking care of you, really caring overall

But 🤷

Jason Grace

Best way to say how he is at taking care of you is mediocre

He isn’t constantly attentive but just the right amount that you feel like it’s enough

Esprit he’s busy with the school he’s attending- then he’ll have to sneak out just to see you and take care of you

If school isn’t in session then he’s more than happy to go over and take care of things for you

Like doing chores, cooking food and actually taking care of you

Doesn’t mind all that much if you try to resist being treated because it’s likely that he’s encountered people who are WAY worse

Ik this is him supposed to be taking care of you but I think it’d be so funny that you’re just constantly in and out of consciousness that you only remember small snippets

In which Jason has to fill in for you and all you remember is Jason in the distance

Pretty out of place but the idea of it is so funny to me 😭

Imagine being so kind and your s/o not remembering any of it

You’d still believe him though, why should you?

Also I said it’s mid but like mid leaning good so I’ll give him a 6/10

Not that he was terrible or anything but just because I feel like it suits him

Idk 😭

Piper Mcclean

THE BEST IM NOT EXAGGERATING

The medicine- eating- cooking part is alright

It isn’t much different from the others averages and not much to take note of in all honesty

But what is really the cherry on top is when after having a mind splitting headache- you’ve finally managed to fall asleep

Being a demigod and all- you immediately hear when Piper enters the room

Each creak the floor board gives continued until Piper has reached the end of the bed

Not that it’s disturbing you in anyway

So there you are snuggled in bed and you feel a weight added next to you where the bed is pushing down

You feel hands massaging your scalp and Piper -knowing how you’ve suffered with head pain- starts to sing for you

It isn’t unknown or unheard of to sing for someone to heal (demigod or non demigod wise)

So when you immediately start to feel better you can feel your would ascending into the heavens

Not actually- because that’d be the opposite affect of the singing but you get what I’m going for

Anyway aside from that she’s really attentive and sweet but I just had that idea come to me strongly idk why

Overall id rate her a 7/10

That’s because her singing is divine but her caring aspect is mediocre

Reyna Ramírez-Arellano x F!Reader (for the first half)

(Ex: realized hunters of Artemis don’t get sick after finishing toa)

Literally legendary at taking care of you

Although she is a bit of a dictator when it comes to you being slippery and running off- it’s still pretty great

She was praetor for how long now? Yea a while so she was bound to have learned some things and after joing the hunters it’s only more reason to

Which if you’re a hunter and sick (only confusing but let’s go with it) you need to get your health back up to be in optimal fighting condition so theres literally no room for being stubborn

You need to get well soon and that’s an order basically

So Reyna will bundle you up, (though seeing as you’re more than happy to be cooperative) its only done to make you warm

(Gn! Reader but still platonic)

Now if this is while Reyna is praetor then she’s still enforced this strict persona

And seeing as she’s here taking care of you-

That’s only more reason to

Unfortunately she won’t really have time (seeing that being praetor is really unsustainable long term with the loss of sleep and sleep schedule changes)

But when she does her presence is soothing and likely the only reason you were able to actually get well pretty fast

I don’t have much besides she knows what she’s doing (likely has gotten stupid colds form stress) and is really serious about it

Would give her a 9.5/10 but I’ll change it to a 10/10 because of how fast you recover

-

A/n: req was originally only asking for Nico but I said why not do the other 9

Why is the first thing that men thinks is sex between ACHERON AND THE NEW KEVIN EXPY. Plus Ellie too?? Leave them ALONE 😭

Acheron literally killed her world's Kevin. And they NEVER had sex. Weirdos, like the first thing you see in Honkai impact is literally the most lesbian shit and you have the audacity to say this...

Elysia is fully lesbian, like that girl is thirsting for women 24/7. it's so damn obvious, people do not have ANY reading comprehension and I can't help but applaud them for their stupidity. "CEO of Elykevin" LEAVE ELLIE ALONEEE THE GIRL JUST CAME BACK TO LIFE LET HER BREATHE. Kevin only works with either SU or DR.MEI (Acheron would not want to be involved with a Kevin expy because again, she did kill her world's Kevin and that would be a traumatic meeting tbh..)

I feel so bad for the original poster, like they just want to show the meaning of their meeting considering their past history. 😭

And no I'm not saying any of this shit because I hate "men" or "straight ship" to hell one of my favourite ships from genshin and hsr is literally Dainlumi, Mavuitano, plus a rare pair between Sunday and Kafka aka Kafday. (Icl I love them more than Kafhime, but Kafhime has more connections, actually met, and has some similar designs, matching fr. But their dynamic is my favourite of all time considering it's close to my OCxKafka hahaha)

Actually scratch the one of my fav for Dainlumi IT IS MY FAVOURITE. They're so doomed but I love them sm. Like the chemistry is there, they were close companions, and they have a clear history with one another as well as blatant admiration and respect.

Although it's going to be expected for Elysia to be in the Trailblazer harem since it already happened in HI3 with the captainverse (fuck that shit) I'm just glad it's not genshin or else this bullshit would be on a much greater scale 🫠

Unless Ellie shows up in Snezhnaya considering it's based on Russia and she did spawn in Russia, making her technically Russian but then again she deadass just spawned there so who knows 😭

Ugh I hate waking up to this, I'm never active on twitter and the one time I checked it backfired soooo hard. I hate the people there, so brain-rotted and so damn judgemental.

But this won't stop me from being so hyped for Ellie expy, it's literally my only repost since the reveal. 100% changing my ENG dub to JP dub because I love Ellie voice in th Japanese dub sooo much, the nostalgia I love how she's sounded.

I'm not much of a Kevin Stan but he's so fine, they knew he would be too powerful with a good name so they had to call the man a basic name. Love him still, love the kaslana sm fr, they're my gojo, can't wait for the TB to meet him since TB has been theorised to be a kaslana haha.

gooooooodmorning everyone

I am ready to fight everyone today.

THAT BEING SAID.

I hope everyone has a wonderful day.

I have come to the conclusion that outside of everything I'm posting I'm going on a fake hiatus while I restructure a bunch of shit and take some time to be a human.

So besides like everything that's already been committed to the weekly post racket is going to be every other week for a little bit.

I will not be shutting up here though someone would literally have to pay me to shut up on this platform.

(5:03) I'm so fuggin tired from work hell today guys I hate it here LMAOO

(8:37) good morning everyone I'm alive again. (I actually took a nap?? Like it worked???? I dunno I'm not gonna question it I'm just gonna be happy and press on finalizing genesis.)

We're still at 114.7k but the yap fic is GROWING.

Like, the amount of thought I put into this random rare pair magical girl au that all of seven people are gonna read is genuinely funny to me. BUT AT LEAST ALL SEVEN PEOPLE WILL BE ABLE TO APPRECIATE THAT BECAUSE SO FAR I ATE‼️

Yeah, guys. I'm never gonna be able to write anything like that again.

LIKE I'M NOT QUITTING YET.

But nothing like that will ever come from me again.

Kinda like the way nothing like Dandelion will ever come from me again.

(Oh my fucking god now I'm upset over Dandelion I JUST GOT HERE)

(9:44) I just wrapped up on 23 and I'm losing my shit. 14 more to go and THEN WHAT. I DO MY HOMEWORK????

Holy shit the thought of functionally going on hiatus fr is actually scaring me guys. (I genuinely need to do this for my wellbeing and the quality of my fics BUT I DON'T WANT TO LMFAOOOOO)

(10:21) okay, I'm sorry, but I find my yap fic to be really funny in the sense that like, okay, yes I am talking about my process. There are some things that would be overlooked and having it shoved in your face and actually acknowledging those things honestly makes the story so much more fun and overall way more enjoyable imo. But every now and then there will just be a comment thrown in like "in case you need something to be upset about."

LIKE WHY AM I LIKE THIS???

(12:14) Next genesis chapter is up I'm just tryna finalize this entire fic but I'm terrified bc I just hit chap 25 and all I wanna do is read this one fic I have 2 chapters saved of but I NEED TO FINISH THIS!!! I CANNOT PUT THIS OFF BECAUSE BEFORE I KNOW IT I WILL LITERALLY BE POSTING THE NEXT CHAPTER AND REALIZE I'M MISSING LIKE 1K WORDS LMAOOO

(3:59) I wasted so much time just being a bozo. 27's done through. I'm at 115.3k now!!!!!!!! AH!!!!!!!!

(6:57) 31 is pretty much done I am at 116k and I am DEAD.

This is getting properly wrapped up tm after my lab work I will be reading my fav until I pass out GOOD NIGHT!!!<3

Hey I hope you’re having a good day!! I just wanted to pop by and say how much I absolutely adore your writing the toto christian series was one of the best fanfics I’ve ever read and up there with some of my fav writing ever I love the way you describe things and the flow of your writing it’s so fun to read. Also just the characterisations, like, I read it from a recc and wasn’t really into the ship but I have been fully converted and can’t stop thinking about them!!! Just so good help!

when did you discover them? txt: found during their debut, faded out of kpop for awhile, then got back into them in june 2020! bnd: omg i’m a baby onedoor actually… i just got into them in dec of 2023

which member sparked your interest? txt: all but beomie really snatched my heart. bnd: taesan… it’s so funny bc i actually have a ss from the day i found bnd bc i posted an edit of him on my story saying “i have no idea who this man is but i’d let him steal my credit card info” LMAO ?? it was love at first sight

who was your first bias? txt: beomie, bnd: taesan

who is your current bias? beomie & taesan still,, if you know me then you’d know i’m PAINFULLY loyal and rarely change biases

why are they your current bias? for beomgyu it’s because i see so much of myself in him, which brings me so much comfort. he has so much sensitivity and cares so deeply for others openly?? he helps remind me that it’s okay to feel deeply. (that was so deep iM SAWRY) for taesan, it’s the opposite! i feel like he’s quite different from me and i’m usually drawn to different people. i really love his creativity and how talented he is; i am nothing of the sort so it’s something i really admire him for! i would in fact pay him and sell my leg for him to customize a pair of shoes for me

who is your bias wrecker? for txt, it’s all of them. i’m in constant pain because of them. for bnd, it’s also all of them except woonhak! i love woonhak, though, but that’s my son that’s my lil dude

Gen1s, breeding and so forth

I like keeping my gen1s unbred. (as well as most of my gen2 Imperials, and the occasional lore or fandom dragon) There are some exceptions to this, like if I have really nice matching pair, but overall I just don’t breed them and for several reasons. First is, even when I love a dragon, my tastes have been known to change, and sometimes I’ll trade or sell it away. If I breed that gen1, there goes a bit hunk of the value, or the amount of people who might be interested in that dragon drops like a rock.

I just overall like the look of the whole fresh start empty offspring list. And I agree that ‘no kids’ doesn’t mean 'pure virgin’ either.

With gen1s in particular there is just something really cool about the dragon being just totally unrelated to anything else, just the total detachment, not tied to any other. Dunno maybe symbolicly it could tie in to my own desire to be 'apart’ from family and having no ties binding me to anything. Or just as simple as 'oh neat’ because the dragon is the beginning and end of it’s line.

I also have a pair of XXY Gen1s who match completely in color who I do breed but even though they make cool babies I can rarely ever find homes for them. That’s another reason to keep 'special’ dragons unbred because really what’s the point of trying to breed cool gen2 babies when next to nothing sells? FR may have started out as a breeding game but go ahead and tell me the primary focus should be breeding and selling dragons when I have multiple pairs that produce gorgeous gem gened 'rare’ breed offspring with great colors and most of the time they never sell until I put them at fodder price, or I just end up leveling and exalting them. FR may have been a breeding-centered game at one time, but the sheer number of dragons has changed that. Sure when a new gene or finally, new breed comes out there is a brief surge in that, but soon the market floods again and we are right back where we started with the 'new thing’ being a dime a dozen.

While it’s cool when someone buys a baby from me and dresses it up fancy, gives it lore, that’s a rare occorance even with me always having pretty nice dragons to offload. I’m content to just fancy up my favorites and get them art and accents so I enjoy looking at them. I don’t have to treat my dragons like a digital puppy mill to be playing right. I still have my pairs I breed, but I also like all my totally 'unattached’ unbred gen1s I’ve spent a fortune on too.

I also keep about a dozen 'pure’ gen2 imperials. Bloodlines generally do not matter to me in any other case, but I have really enjoyed collecting the offspring of quite a few of the first imperial pairs on the site. Imps are my fav breed, and it’s basically just me wanting a tie to the game’s early history, a piece of the past or something? I consider myself a pretty 'wealthy’ player for the most part, but not so much that I could ever dream of having my own gen1 Imperial. To me, the next best thing is to have the babies of the really old af gen1s. I have some that came from double digit parents and I just think that’s cool af.

Takkar

So, I was thinking, why not kill two birds with one stone and have this serve as both a lore update and an intro for one of my fav kids.  --------------------------------

Nobody wanted to be the one to go to Takkar’s shack.

It was a creepy little house; all in shambles and grown over with weeds and other decaying plant life, whose tentacle like appendages clung desperately to the roofs and sides. Many commented that it looked like the tainted soil and gnarled roots of the Rotrock Rim itself was trying to drag the house down into the ground, back down where it belonged. 

But it wasn’t really the shack that was the problem.

Takkar himself was a rather paranoid fellow, with strange mannerisms and even stranger ways of greeting guests. Often, when members of the Blight Touched would be forced to visit his foreboding dwellings for one reason or another, they would draw pieces of straw. The loser would be forced to go to Takkar alone and if he was in one of his moods, then you could expect to have poison powder blown in your face just to see the side effects. He himself is largely immune to most of the side effects, after all. He’s spent many days high off the poisonous fumes he has concocted, lost in visions, swaying, dancing, and chanting under the moon light to unknown gods.  Dagna bites at her already too short nails, the thought creeping up on her and taking root like a hungry vine, bent on choking the life out of her. It had been two weeks since Nico had fled in search of Ishram and still no word, no sign that he might ever return. The longer he took, the more dangerous their situation became. It was only a matter of time before Mordecai figured out it was the three of them- herself, Othello, and Charity- who had sabotaged the execution. He already had his suspicions of them, too. She had seen it in his eyes before he’d stormed off. She was sure of it. Seeking the Plaguebringer’s blessing to perhaps turn the tide in their favor was out of the question. They were challenging one of her chosen after all, it would be madness to think that she would offer them anything but her scorn. Betrayers! Heretics! Traitors! It was because of this that Dagna and Othello had made up their minds; they would go to Takkar and ask him for a vision. He was known to oblige such requests, if given something in return, of course. He pledged no allegiance to the Eleven, nor did he deny their existence either; he simply didn’t seem to care. If there was even a chance that he might be able to give them some sort of hope or warning, that was worth the risk of poison powder. “What will we offer him?” Othello asks, breaking the silence. Dagna turned her head towards him, expression unreadable in the growing twilight and eyes shining. “We’ll offer him whatever we have,” she responds evenly, fingers gently brushing against the herb pouch hung at her side.  “I hear he likes herbs, things he can use.” “Do you believe it?” Othello murmurs, eyes straight ahead on the dirt path. “I mean, these so called visions that he has? Isn’t it possible that he’s just-” “Insane?” Dagna finishes for him. Othello nods without looking at her and licks at the peeling skin from his still healing split lip. He is hesitant to do this, to go seeking a vision from the mad Takkar. What if the news is grim? What will they do then if their hopes are crushed? He looks at Dagna from he corner of his eye and frowns. “It’s possible,” she continues, unperturbed and now pointing ahead in the distance, “I suppose we’ll find out soon enough.” Just up ahead, nestled in the treeline, was Takkar’s shack. Both of them stop to stare a moment, taking in the scene before them. It appears to be more overgrown now than the last time either of them had ventured so close. Now it looks as if it was born from the ground rather than being dragged back into it; like a sore sprouting up from the sick earth. Bones hang from the shack and on what appear to be scarecrows of some sort that litter the land around them. They all seem to be built from twisted branches, skin, feathers, and straw.   The air is stagnant and it smells of blood and magic. Just out front of the shack is a large fire pit that is currently burning. Great dark billows of smoke snake up into the sky and the flames cast eerie shadows against the trees. If Dagna looks long enough, she can see the shadows move. Neither one of them is scared, but there is a prickle of unease in their bellies that warns them to turn back- made a little worse when they both spot the figure sat in front of the fire. He sits cross-legged with his hands rested on his knees and staring into the embers. His pale green eyes are unblinking, and from his skullcap head rises antlers, as gnarled and as a sharp as the ceremonial dagger laid on the ground at his side. 

“That must be him,” Othello whispers, leaning over to put an arm around Dagna’s shoulder. The gesture is comforting for the both of them. ”Don’t worry,” she whispers back, nudging him gently in his side, “if he tries to turn you into a toad, I promise to keep you as a pet.” With quick amused glances at one another, they approach him slowly, fingers interlocked and steps measured.

--------------------------- He knew they were coming before he saw them. The bonepriest dust he had inhaled three nights ago had given him a vision of this. Dagna and Othello, the priests, now determined to liberate themselves and the cult from Mordecai’s cruel hands. He rarely took part in the inner workings of the cult, but the gossip had still managed to make it to him all the same. He had no love or any hatred for the maniacal cult leader. Takkar had only followed his sister Hyena here because he had felt like it, and honestly Mordecai left him alone to himself for the most part, content to be able to use Takkar’s concoctions when ever he like din exchange for the solitude.  He would hear them, what was the harm? “You have come for a vision, yes?” Takkar asks, shifting onto his knees, “You both seek what the future may hold.” They stop dead in their tracks- perhaps he wasn’t insane after all. “Yes,” Dagna says, stepping forward until her toes meet the heat of the fire. She watches him warily, taking in many of the little details she hadn’t been able to see from far away. At his side are the skulls of several different creatures, fashioned into crude bowls. One is filled blood and what appears to be a pair of eyes floating. Another holds a powdery substance which she recognizes as a bone dust of some sort. “We’ve come to ask you for your help,” she clears her throat, “we’re desperate.” Takkar mulls it over his head, teeth bared in a feral grin when he finally decides on his answer.  “I know,” he says, lifting the skull filled with blood from the ground, “which is why I’ve decided to help you.” Dagna smiles, practically beaming with relief when she turns back to look at Othello. She had expected this to be much more difficult. “I- We can’t thank you enough, Takkar,” she breathes, bending to kneel at the fire across from him. Takkar merely shrugs and grabs a pinch of bone dust, tossing it into the blood and then mixing it with his finger.  “Don’t thank me just yet,” he chuckles, idly rolling one of the eyeballs around in the mixture, “there’s no guarantee that you’re going to like what I see.” Dagna nods and the seriousness returns to her eyes. He was right, there were no guarantees, but either way she would be able to be prepared now. “I understand.” “Excellent!” Takkar exclaims, jumping to his feet. In one hand he still holds the bowl, in the other is the dagger. “You will offer your blood-” his eyes snap in Othello’s direction- “both of you. Just a drop will do.” His gait is strange, catlike, and with each step he takes the many bones that he wears rattle. Dagna is the first to make her offering and he gently pricks her finger, squeezing a drop of her blood into the bowl. Takkar repeats the action with Othello, who watches him with wary eyes. “Now,” he says, cocking his head, “let us see what the blood has to say.” He drinks it down in great gulps, throat bulging out a little when he finally swallows the eyes- whole. Dagna offers no outward reaction, she just watches intently and sends out a silent prayer to a god she hopes will still hear her despite what she has done. Othello wrinkles his nose, but does little more. He has seen much worse, both of them have. Finished, Takkar drops the skull to ground between his feet, head tilted back with rivulets of blood that drip down his chin and to his throat. He stands perfectly still, as if frozen in time. Dagna almost moves to shake him, worried that something might have gone wrong. But before she can do anything his body begins to convulse, violently. He hits the ground with a heavy thud, back arching and bones cracking as they are twisted awkwardly in his flailing. His mouth hangs agape, blood still dribbling from his open lips into the dirt.  “I.. seeeeee...,” he hisses, voice too deep and unnatural to be his own, “I see blood in the streets- a battle! Ooooh, how they scream!”  His head snaps back, twisting at an awkward angle. His eyes are open wide and his lips drawn back in a mockery of a smile. “I see a powerful leader brought to his knees and the start of a new era!” Takkar wails, hysterical with laughter, “Punished! He must be punished!” Just as quickly as it had begun it stops and Takkar falls still, lifeless like a ragdoll; it’s hard to tell if he’s even breathing. Othello moves forward cautiously, fingertips brushing Dagna’s shoulder as he passes her by. Takkar had spoken of a battle, a leader brought to his knees and punished. Could that leader be Mordecai? Judging by the look of renewed confidence on Dagna’s face, she seemed to think so. Just before he is able to reach him, Takkar awakens and sits bolt upright, eyes rolling frantically in their sockets as if he’s not sure where he is. “The battle,” he stammers, “it comes soon. I must be prepared.” Without offering anything else, Takkar lifts himself off the ground, stumbling in a stupor away and into the woods. “Wait!” Dagna calls after him, leaping up as if she means to give chase. He doesn’t respond and Othello doesn’t give her the chance to run after him. “Let him go,” he says gently, grabbing her my the forearm to hold her back. Dagna glares at him as if she means to pull away before her expression softens to concern. “But he didn’t explain! It sounds like we’ll be victorious, but what if-” Othello spins her around, pulling her into his arms and pressing his lips against hers. “If that isn’t the case, then we will run away together,” he breathes, pulling away only enough to allow him to have his say, “we’ll leave this all behind and start anew. Just you and me.” She is shocked at first to hear such a suggestion. This is and has been their home for so long, surely it was worth fighting for.. and yet- “Just you and me,” she agrees shakily, hands pressed flat against his chest, “I’ll hold you to that.”
