Fun to write wooo, I might do a part two if I remember about this lmao

Man sorry if it seems lazy at any point as well

Yan!Scythe x reader -

(TW: yandere shit, stalking, getting chased, a single curse word, possible ooc scythe)

All you heard was whistling and the heavy ba-dump of your blood through your ears. You tried to run as fast as you could through the dusty ghost town you managed to get lost in.

Your shoes pounded against the sand, and your legs were exhausted. You've been running for who knows how long at this point.

You turned around a corner and sat next to a wall to try to catch your breath. You hoped she wasnt following you anymore, but you still heard the whistling and humming of that… monster. The whistles sounded farther away now, but you still weren't fully safe. You don't know what she wanted from you, but what you do know is she's been chasing you for what feels like an hour, carries a terrifying looking gear, and she’s the most wanted in all the factions. You weren't that special of a person, you weren't a criminal, nor anybody important, you have no idea what a person like HER wanted from you.

You got snapped out of your train of thought when you realized you could hear footsteps now, oh god.. she was close. You were frozen with fear, you held your breath and stayed as still as you possibly could.

The footsteps got louder, and louder, and louder.

“Ya know, you can't run forever, sugar.”

Her voice was.. intimidating, to say the least. She had a very strong southern accent, if she wasn't chasing you down for who knows what reason, you might have found her voice attractive.

You said nothing and continued being as still as you possibly could.

“Listen, baby, I ain't gonna hurt ya! Just come out of your little hiding spot, so I can see your pretty little face.”

You seriously doubted that she wouldn't hurt you.

Scythe was getting annoyed now, where the hell were you?! She never loses her sights on a target, but you were much more than that. You were actually important to her. But of course you didn't know that, you just met her, after all.

Except she's known you for a while.

You were such a precious thing! Your adorable face, your laugh, your beautiful eyes, oh.. and your personality! She loves every bit about you.

That's why she isn't letting you leave.

You were still hiding, she knew you were around here, somewhere. You were terrified, you didn't know what to do.

So you stayed in your hiding spot, and waited.

And waited,

And waited.

It felt like forever, you couldn't hear her footsteps anymore, so you think you're in the clear to go.

So you carefully step outside your hiding spot, and look around.

It seemed cl-

“FUCK-”

You got kicked down on top of the sandy ground, and heard a menacing laugh behind you.

“Oh sugar.. I'm glad I was able to find you in the end! You hide well, I'll give ya that.”

You got the breath knocked out of you, gasping for air. The woman placed her foot on top of your back, not too hard as to hurt you, but enough to keep you from getting up and running.

“Now, you're probably wondering what I want from you.” She paused, trying to figure out what she wanted to say. You nodded, and tried to speak, but she interrupted you. “Well, darlin’, I want you.”

“Wh-what do you mean!?”

She took her foot off of you, but before you could do anything, she grabbed one of your arms, forcing you up. She then brought you into a hug, wrapping her arms around you.

“Ya see sugar, you don't know this, but I've been watching you for a while now.” She grinned at you, looking into your eyes. God, you were so much prettier up close.

“What did I do to anger you?!”

“You didn't do anything, darlin’. Except steal my heart!” She laughed, “And trust me, baby, I ain't angry. It's reasonable that ya would wanna run away from me.”

You looked at her with fear in your eyes and she took notice of this, and loosened her hold on you, instead of hugging you, she was now just holding your hands.

“Relax, I'm not gonna hurt ya! I just want you to stay with me for a little while, it won't be bad, baby, I promise.”

And then your vision went black.

[themostwantedphighter]

“Welcome, darlin’! What brings ya here?”

Azalin Reviews: Darklord The Headless Horseman

Domain: The Winding Road Domain Formation: 690 BC Power Level: 💀💀💀⚫⚫ Sources: Darklords (2e), From the Shadows (2e Adventure), The Freak (Short Story)

The Headless Horseman of the Winding Road is a Darklord created based on the classic story The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.

The history of the Headless Horseman before he was bound to the Winding Road remains a mystery and tales of this Darklord vary from realm to realm. These tales are all rather far fetched from him being a victim of Vlad’s who is known to impale anything that moves (not beheading them) to Ivana of Borca ordering his beheading instead of poisoning him. I would theorize that he is more likely another doomed individual imprisoned here for so called crimes he commited in another reality. Scholarly research on what The Headless Horseman is also differs amongst the realms. In some, he is said to be a ghost and in others a nameless undead. Techincally, this accursed individual is neither.

The Winding Road is a traveling Domain that can appear on any road within Ravenloft. The Headless Horseman is forever bound to ride upon this road on a steed as black as midnight and using his silver scythe to behead those who cross his path in a vain attempt to reclaim his own head. Though a curse or manipulation of another may result in him appearing at any time, the Horseman and the Winding Road typically only appear on the night of a sickle moon or if you wish to get a bit more dramatic with your description, on the night when the moon resembles the shape of a scythe, the weapon wielded by the Horseman. 

The Headless Horseman does like a dramatic entrance, which I can appreciate. The night goes still and dark as clouds obscure the moon and then the sound of rumbling and thunder as if an army on horseback approaches, but it is something much worse - the Headless Horseman. The road becomes the Winding Road - a cobblestone road surrounded by a thicket. 

Though the Horseman cannot leave the road and those that happen upon it will find that the path the road is on will always follow whatever direction they run in. Being immune to magic and lopping off heads with a single stroke of his scythe makes the Horseman quite formidable and the perfect lackey to cut off some Adventurers’ heads for me so I can put said heads in jars and send the would-be-heroes into the past. Ah, good times.

If one manages to escape the Horseman’s deadly scythe, they must face the “first to follow” and “the last to follow”. The first are the floating heads of all the Horseman’s victims who have developed a taste for human flesh. The last are five heads of medusas and one medusaen. The presence of the medusaen, only thought to dwell within the Forgotten Realms, makes it probable that the Winding Road can appear in realms outside of Ravenloft. Because of this entourage, it is a rare individual indeed that survives an encounter with the Headless Horseman. When I convinced the Horseman to gather a few heads for me, the last to follow were made up of beholders instead of medusa, though this is the only known time for that to have happened. My own doing? Perhaps, but I don’t wish to give away all my secrets.

Though this particular Darklord does not have a history and was easily manipulated by yours truly, he is near impossible to destory completely. Though, there has to be a better way to find one 's head other than chopping off other peoples...I will grant him 3.5 skulls on the power scale but without a thought beyond finding his missing appendage, his personality is barely at 1 skull. 

--------------------------------------------------------------

OOC: The Headless Horseman encounter on the Winding Road is such an easy thing to add to your game if you want a quick 'spooky' session on Halloween in your long-running campaigns.

TIMELINE ROUND TWO, completely unabridged!!!! { Round one:)) }

I recognize that I have perhaps not fully discussed the beforetimes ft the death of Melanie or— maybe I have in bits and pieces but - following the previous arc, our first non Taci character shift was onto Meli, Epi and Eury so. many things happen but you’ll notice this is mostly about them!!!

PLEASE mind the content warnings this is among the darkest plots we’ve ever done in here,, and so, behind the cut presentinggfg

Glaukos and Oiolyka announce that they're expecting! Quadruplets, actually oh my gods (Klonie, Anthedon, Telephousa, Termessos).

Baby fever sparked by the quads plus watching Eury and Epi with Meli inspire Tory and Maci to try for a baby.

Laphi formally moves into the palace, and soon after he and Jesse announce they're officially dating.

Maci is pregnant with Neo! She, Tory, and company soon discover Neo is Fated to be the future Goddess of Death due to the awful side effects involved with that: specifically, Maci falling into a disturbing death-like unconsciousness every single time baby Neo is awake in-utero.

As part of baby-proofing the palace for the impending Death Godling, Jesse is immortalized into a god.

In the meantime now that Thanatos has been rendered harmless (they think), past victims Sophie, Amey, and Hess are found and healed. Through Lethe, each chooses to erase their memories of their time with Thanatos.

Maci's rough pregnancy becomes too much for her and Tory to bear as Neo's powers increase. With the help of childbirth goddess Ilythia, they magically accelerate her pregnancy to induce a much earlier due date.

Neo is born by the end of July! - OoC - circa. 2011

Laphi and Jesse are now trying for a baby - soon Jesse is pregnant with Lenore.

Thanatos snaps and really goes off the deep end once he learns that Maci and Tory's daughter is set to replace him. He talks Ker into having a child with him and secretly, Chal is born. They immediately artificially age him up to 11 years old and begin to train Chal as a puppet in acts of villainy.

Uncontrollably smug over his new secret weapon, Thanatos gloats to Hypnos about the existence of Chal. During this meeting he injures and threatens to further harm his son Icy (age 2 at the time) if Hypnos tells anyone that Chal exists. In desperation, after Thanatos leaves, Hypnos secretly curses Chal with eternal insomnia.

Meanwhile, obliviously, baby fever continues to spread and now reaches Eury and Epi. Epi soon becomes pregnant with Melanie.

Becoming sloppier as he slips further into cocky madness, Thanatos parades Chal to Nyx to gloat some more, used to his mother letting him get away with whatever. But this time after Thanatos leaves, Nyx calls Maci and Tory, and tells them about Chal’s existence.

Everyone is ALARMED. With Epi weakened by his pregnancy, Maci and Tory insist that he move his family out of their home in Tartarus and into Elysium. Maci fiddles with the Elysium barrier to get Epi in, and he, Eury and Meli move temporarily into the palace for safety.

Bracing this whole time for whatever Thanatos is planning with Chal, instead everyone is surprised when Thanatos resurfaces to attack Lethe as an act of revenge for assisting his former three victims. Arguing that this is a violation of his Styx oath, Tory and Maci send the Furies after Thanatos.

Realizing he’s running out of time, Thanatos makes a move and unleashes Chal, ordering him to kidnap baby Neo and bring her back to him.

Infant Neo is kidnapped. Thanatos locks her in a cage in his Tartarus cave and… just waits, with Chal and Ker. On cue, Maci shows up to save her daughter. A standoff ensues that ends in Maci grabbing Thanatos’ scythe from him and hacking him to pieces.

Tory shows up with the Furies, peels Maci off of Thanatos, and they break Neo free. Thanatos (maimed) is arrested by the Furies and dragged off to a Tartarus cell. Ker holds Chal back from intervening with a claw straight through Chal's shoulder and they both disappear off the grid "forever" (or... do they?).

Epi, who had been twitchy inside Elysium this entire time, takes Eury and Meli and promptly moves back to their Tartarus home, now that Thanatos is gone and all seems safe again.

Jesse and Laphi’s daughter Lenore is born.

While everyone's guard is down, chaos goddess Eris ambushes Epi and Eury's household for shits and giggles, though also irked that her pal Thanatos had been arrested. She physically separates Meli's internal two beings into separate bodies for the first time - "eMel," the evil entity, and "gMel," the good one.

Immediately, eMel turns on Epi and kidnaps him, as his pregnancy is still affecting and weakening his powers. She and Eris together stash him in the Cronus pit while Eury and gMel flee back to the Elysium palace.

Tory, Maci and company search for Epi. Alena, Epi's long-time best friend, makes her first appearance in canon.

While the palace searches for Epi, eMel terrorizes him. She tears the unborn Melanie from Epi's womb and murders her, as she had tragically not yet developed her divine immortality. When Melanie dies, eMel uses her powers as Goddess of Ghosts to physically rip apart her shade into scattered fragments, leaving almost nothing left of her. Epi shatters.

eMel resumes her old hobbies of terror as Epi suffers, like murdering mortals again in the upper world, even briefly meeting loose supervillain disaster Chal. Eris starts trying to brainwash Epi using stolen Lethe River water into reverting to his full daemon form, to use him as a weapon against the palace.

With Epi still missing, Tory, Jesse, Eury, the rest of the palace, begin experiencing vivid dreams and nightmares. They realize this is Epi trying to contact them through his realm and soon realize where they've been keeping him -

- but eMel discovers that Epi's been reaching out and moves them to a secondary location before the palace can catch up. Maci and Tory arrive at Cronus' pit. They don't find Epi. They do find Melanie's remains.

Maci and Tory return Melanie's ashes to Eury.

In an ambush set-up, Epi is finally located - but by this time his memory has been mostly erased by eMel and Eris, making him uncontrollably dangerous while trapped in his daemon form. As Tory and Alena fight and subdue him, gMel appears and defeats her other half, reabsorbing her back together. Epi is taken back to the Elysium palace and healed.

Blaming herself for the attacks, Meli disappears from the palace. Secretly, she also sets out to find the scraps of Melanie's lost shade.

Epi discover's he's pregnant again, though this time unintentionally. Meli returns with Melanie's shade, patched together; Epi allows the new unborn child to absorb Melanie's soul, reincarnating her... unaware that this time around, he's actually carrying twins Ty and Bel. Fearful of the threat of her other self, Meli tries to run away again to protect her unborn sibling(s), but Epi and Eury beg her to stay - they can't lose another child.

Meli agrees to stay. Epi, Meli, and Eury move permanently into Elysium.

During Epi's pregnancy, the palace discovers first that Epi is carrying twins; second, that Ty and Bel are telepathic, discovered on account of the twins poking around inside everyone's head from inside Epi's womb.

Ty and Bel are born! Even as newborns, they are immediately able to communicate telepathically with their family while just a few days old.

Thanatos, from his cell in Tartarus, is filled in by Eris of the drama of the months past, the release and recapture of Melinoe and the trauma inflicted upon Epi. Learning that Epi and Eury now have vulnerable children of their own, and in his slipping insanity deciding that while post-partum, surely Epi is less of a threat to fuck with, Thanatos seeks out a different previous victim to terrorize - Eury. Eris hacks the Elysium barrier to shut it temporarily off, and break Thanatos out of his cell.

At Thanatos' orders, Chal reappears from wherever the hell he'd been, to break into the palace and kidnap Eury to drop at Thanatos' feet. While in the palace, at the guidance of Eris Chal also manages to slip a poison in Meli's vicinity for the purpose of later chaos. With Eury deposited into his grasp, Thanatos manages to attack him but briefly before Epi shows up, furious that Thanatos would dare harm his mate and challenge him so directly.

Epi is not any less of a threat post-partum.

Thanatos is re-imprisoned, much worse for the wear. Chal disappears off the grid again. Epi revisits for good measure, leaving Thanatos cursed with vivid insanity-inducing nightmares.

Laphi proposes to Jesse, they become engaged.

Meno makes his first canon appearance when summoned for tattoo purposes.

Meli finally accidentally drinks the lurking poison that Chal had planted. eMel escapes their physical body again, but when she beelines straight to harm the twins gMel rushes after her and they both vanish...

And when Melinoe soon after reappears, reunited together again as one... despite acting same as ever, this Melinoe is now being secretly puppeted by her evil half. This very temporary version, "MelE" puts on a weepy show of wanting to guard and protect the baby twins from harm especially given Thanatos' recent events. There is no visible reason not to trust her.

The second she's left unattended, MelE approaches the twins in their crib with malicious intent and tries to harm them. Before she can, the extremely powerful months-old-mindreaders Ty and Bel forcibly slam her back and yank the correct Meli back into consciousness, locking the evil half buried much deeper inside of her. Everyone is uhh, a little taken aback by how easily they managed to do that, but overall a happy ending is had.

Alena and Meno start to date each other on-off.

Meanwhile... though unbeknownst to most of the the residents of the palace, a commotion begins in the mortal world within one of their cities, as a deity from another realm stages a hostile takeover. Though the event resolves itself topside, it perks on Tory's radar due to the sheer weirdness of it all and the brief influx of shades; though there's always strange things happening in the mortal world, and no one thinks anything else of it.

Several realms above the mortal world, following the aforementioned hostile takeover event - rather than be taken to his home world humiliatingly as a prisoner, the god Loki decides he once again has nothing left to live for. He jumps for the second time.

This time, Loki lands further underground.

AAAAAAND tee hee the end for now!!! I don’t actually know when I’ll be uploading the next part since I. We actually have to redo a ton of stuff I think in the Loki era but. I will eventually

Also- if u somehow read all that and ur like ?!!! ELYSIUM ERIS?!?!? yeah huh I’ve never drawn her and she’s…. Ummmmm currently under construction so. shshshsh. parts of this may still be retconned yet ANYWAY.

[team-rwby-pkmn]

Ruby, Weiss, Yang....Yang...

Those were Blake's thoughts as she ran through the forest.

She had to find them. She couldn't be alone here.

Ruby.

Weiss.

Yang.

Eventually, her running caught up to her, her lungs getting exhausted. She stopped and rested by a tree, letting herself relax but keeping an eye out for anyone else.

Looking toward the forest, she noticed how....serene it looked.

Peaceful, calm, not a forest one would find a big bad monster in, but one would be surprised.

Even a forest like Forever Fall was crawling with Grimm.

Hoot-hoot!

Both sets of ears twitched at the noise, grabbing for Gambol Shroud, her weapon, but not finding it there. (ooc: yes there is a reason for the ears)

Hesitantly, she looked up toward the noise. It looked like an...owl?

Similar to an owl, she supposed.

"Do you have any wisdom for me, Mr. Owl?"

The Hoothoot hooted again.

Blake decided to ask a different question.

"Have you seen anyone? Long yellow hair, kind of scary but not? White hair, snarky but nice? And, uh, black and red hair with a huge scythe?"

The hoothoot flew away from the tree branch.

Clearly this wasn't a story she's in, or the bird may have actually talked to her.

In the far distance, she heard noises. Voices.

Ruby. Weiss.

Immediately, she started running again. They were here. They were safe, she thinks. Yang must be here too. They're all safe.

Out of the corner of her eye, she caught the sight of long white hair.

Weiss.

Turning in a different direction, she headed toward her.

Then she saw them. Her friends. Her family.

Nearly running into them, she pulled both of them into a hug, like she would never let them go.

"You're okay!" Everything is near right now. They're right here.

"Of course we're okay, we wouldn't be huntresses if we couldn't defend ourselves!" Usual Weiss.

"Wellll, there might be a slight problem with that." Gesturing to her side, she conveyed that she was weaponless.

"We'll find Crescent Rose after we find Yang.." Then she noticed it. The dog. Right there.

Like a cat, she jumped with all limbs pointing toward the ground.

"I didn't know there was a dog here!"

Weiss grabbed the Yamper to hold in her arms, squishing him against her cheek.

"He's such a good boy, can't you tell?"

"Keep him away from me!"

Ruby started laughing, even in a strange place, she always had her team to rely on.

Even in her panic, Blake started laughing too. Everything would be just right soon enough, once they found Yang.

OOC: Heart-Aik: Aik Membrane's Prequel

Chapter Thirteen /tw: children in distress/pain, blood

Ft mentions of @ambassador-d1b

<July 16th, 2005 continued>

The sound of hot water was running in the background, Aik was watching himself in the mirror. It had taken him a few minutes to figure out how to turn the shower on, it was different from the one he used in the lab.

And while he waited, he ended up staring at himself in the mirror.

All the yellow on his shirt, drowned out in red and black… he liked it. He liked it a lot actually. Those were two good colors getting rid of one bad one.

He slipped off the shirt with some difficulty, being careful of his missing arm, and got a quick shower using the soap and towels already there.

There were some clothes, a little big for him, waiting when he got out. He had to sit a moment before getting dressed due to dizziness.

A knock came from the door, quickly followed by Percy's voice. "You alright in there? Got quiet, you haven't died, right?"

Aik, still recovering from the dizzy spell, nearly jumped to his feet, but slowed himself in the nick of time. "Yeah, uhm. Fine."

"Alright kid, I left some clothes in there for ya."

"I noticed," Aik said, already getting dressed. He again tucked his yellow envelope into the belt of the new clothes. "Uh. Thanks."

"Yep, just come on out and we can do something about your hair," Percy replied.

"My hair?" Aik gave the door a confused look.

"Anyone is gonna recognize you with that hair tuft of yours, plus you lost a bit to fire it seems. So a nice trim would do you some good," Percy explained.

Aik ran his fingers through his wet hair. Percy had a point. "Alright, fine, whatever." He grabbed a towel and ruffled his hair as dry as he could while opening the bathroom door and walking out.

"Nice, I'll grab my hair shears." Percy stepped into another room.

Aik grabbed his shank and held it carefully, hiding it in his shirt. Then he sat on the closest chair, waiting for Percy to come back. He didn't trust the man at all, especially not with shears. But he didn't want to be recognized by more people he couldn't trust.

Soon, Percy came back and after putting a towel around Aik's shoulders and neck, he began to cut Aik's hair until there was about an inch left all around.

Aik stayed still, ready to fight with the shank if he needed to, but not wanting to struggle if he didn't have to.

Percy stayed silent as he worked, aside from occasionally humming a line or two from songs Aik never heard before.

Once he was done, he flipped the towel off Aik with dramatic flair, blowing a bit of hair back into Aik's face by mistake. Aik sneezed on it.

"Whoops, sorry kiddo," Percy chuckled.

Aik just rubbed his eyes and sneezed a second time. "Yeah don't do that again."

All the hair properly removed from his nose, he sniffed and stood to approach the closest mirror. The cut was even, and he certainly didn't look like he had any ties to Membrane anymore. No hair scythe, no yellow shirt, only the black one with jeans that Percy left out for him. He still had that tattoo though… He was pretty sure tattoos could be removed.

He was about to ask Percy about it, but Percy spoke up first.

"Well kid, it's getting close to lunch but we still got some time to establish a few rules," Percy said cheerily.

"Okay." Aik turned to face Percy, standing up straight.

"Rule number one, you work for me now. I'm gonna go easy on you of course, but I'm still the boss," Percy said.

Ail grimaced. He didn't like the sound of that. "Okay, what else?"

"Rule number two, who you are stays a secret. What else can we call you besides Aik?" Percy asked. "Do you have any other names?"

"Nil," Aik muttered.

"Nil? Your middle name? Nah, no good, Membrane knows it," Percy said, clicking his tongue.

"I don't have any other names," Aik said with a small shrug.

"Okay we'll give you a nickname then. What about… Yellow?" Percy suggested.

"Absolutely NOT," Aik replied adamantly.

"Okay, fair…" Percy sighed. "Do you have any suggestions?"

Aik shook his head. "I don't know what wouldn't be suspicious."

"How about Lefty?"

"... Lefty?"

"Because you're missing your left arm," Percy explained.

Aik grimaced again. "That makes no sense…"

Percy sighed. "I'll just call you Shank until we figure something else out."

"Fine," Aik huffed.

"Alright then, Shank. Rule three, quiet time is from 9PM to 9AM, you are to be calm and speak in whispers during then," Percy continued.

"Easy," Aik said.

"Rule four, you earn your keep. If you need something, tell me and I'll tell you how to earn it. I'll make sure you get basic necessities as long as you don't cause too much trouble for me." Percy gave Aik a head pat.

Aik raised an eyebrow. "You know I'm insane, right? I cause a lot of trouble."

"Insane, are you?" Percy leaned down to look Aik in the eye. "Well Shank, let's see how insane you really are. Would you kill someone?"

Membrane came to mind. "Absolutely," Aik replied without hesitation.

"Steal? Lie? Cheat?" Percy continued.

"Yes."

"Ohh, very interesting. Can you fight?" Percy asked.

"Uhm. Kinda?" Aik said.

"I can fix that," Percy said with a mischievous grin.

"What about Dib though? How is this going to help me get my brother back?" Aik asked.

"Do you remember how I said that you can earn things? Work for me, I'll help you get Dib as soon as your shoulder is healed and your training is complete. Got it?" Percy said.

"How long before training is done?" Aik asked.

"Depends on you," Percy answered. "Could be as little as two months, as long as two years."

Aik muttered angrily. "That's too much time."

"Kid, I can't just waltz into Membrane Labs and kidnap your brother for you. This is a two person job and we both need each other at a hundred percent if we're gonna succeed. You want a faster way? Go with someone else," Percy suggested.

Aik sighed. He took a few minutes to think over his options.

He didn't know anyone outside the lab, he didn't even know Percy. But the man already had a chance to turn him in or kill him, so Aik at least had evidence that Percy wouldn't do either of those things. Which was more than he had for anyone else.

He didn't trust that Percy still wouldn't try to sell himself or Dib. But if Percy was going to train him, Aik could at least fight back. And if he sold Dib and himself together, then that would be almost fine. Because then escape would be easier.

And he didn't have anyone else offering him any options of getting Dib back.

"Well?" Percy asked after a few minutes of silence.

"Alright," Aik relented.

"Good kid. I think you and I are gonna get along great, Shank," Percy said with a wide grin.

"Yeaaaah sure," Aik sighed. He already hated the nickname.

Something happened in the coffee shop and someone recorded it, so I guess I'll just explain so there are no confusions.

[The video description starts here.]

//Marta's text is in quotations so it can be differentiated from the other person, even though I think it's obvious who is talking in every case. More ooc and translation under the cut.

Marta is working in the coffee shop when a man enters through the door. He is covering his face and body a lot. He goes to Marta, clearly trying to be intimidating.

"Buenos días, bienvenido a [No he pensado un nombre]. ¿Qué va a querer?"

Dame todo lo que haya en la caja —he says.

"Me temo que no puede hacer eso señor. ¿Qué va a pedir?"

Creo que no entiendes lo que está pasando, así que déjame explicártelo. Yo te estoy amenazando, así que tú me das dinero.

"Oh, no, lo he entendido perfectamente y le estoy informando de que eso no es posible, así que pida algo o me temo que tendrá que salir del establecimiento."

Bueno, tú lo has querido —. He takes off his hood to reveal stunky ears and starts preparing to use acid spray. —Entonces, ¿Qué va a ser?

"Wow, no sabía que había furros aquí, qué miedo! Vete, ahora." —With a hand move her scythe appears, the blade next to his neck.

Hey, n-no hay que recurrir a eso! —He runs away as quickly as possible, mentioning something about how there are too many superheroes nowadays.

Some people can be heard talking about how exciting it is to be in a hero's debut.

[End of video description.]

I want to say that I'm not a superhero, I just have a cool summonable scythe that can separate souls from bodies and I have dealt with annoying clients before, so I just took the first opportunity to make one run away. It may not have been my best idea, but I didn't think about that while doing it. I wasn't going to take his soul, and if I did he would have gotten it back in five minutes anyway. Please, tell me this guy won't be back, I don't need these problems now.

Translation:

Good morning, welcome to [I haven't come up with a name]. What are you going to order?

Give me everything in the register.

I'm afraid I can't do that sir. What are you going to order?

I think you don't understand what's going on, so let me explain it to you. I am threatening you, so you give me money.

Oh, no, I understood that perfectly and I am informing you that that's not possible, so order something or I'm afraid you'll have to leave this establishment.

Well, you asked for it. Then, what's it going to be?

Wow, I didn't know they had furries here, so scary! Go away, now. (The "so scary!" Is sarcastic, in case it wasn't obvious.)

Hey, n-no need to resort to that!

End of translation.

The original version of this post wasn't that bad, it showed more of Marta's personality, but it didn't fully read as someone trying her best to keep her job by not annoying any client. She'll keep this job, they can't afford to lose an employee right now.

That guy will be a recurring nuisance, so get used to the lamest(affectionate) villain ever.

I put her in the universe with heroes especifically so people would mistake her for one, but she won't be (probably, things can change in the future, but I doubt it would ever become her main thing because of other things I have planned).

The comment about the scythe's powers is meant to be reassuring, like saying it can't actually kill, but you can imagine how that sounds.

The name of the arc is: I'm not a hero! And will be tagged the same way arrival was (arc: [name of the arc]).

ooc/ I found you there’s no running now

"Uh...hello?? Can I help ya-?" He seems awfully confused, still a bit panicked about the whole gear swap with Scythe.

[themostwantedphighter]

(OOC: I wonder what headcanons y’all have about Scythe 🤔

Some of mine:

I’m with the “Scythe has a rattlesnake tail” gang

I like to think that Scythe would have a dark sense of humor and like black comedy

Being from the south myself, I feel like she’d like some southern things, like sweet tea, bourbon (random fact: I live about an hour away from Bardstown, KY, which is the bourbon capital of the world lol), etc.

She’d probably have a horse (inspiration taken from the @/StalkingAmbush parody account on Twitter, run by @/octylish (both on Tumblr and on Twitter)

She’s somewhere in between being a tomboy and being feminine

She isn’t one for mercy when she finds someone she plans on killing, and might be a bit sadistic (no, not in a sexual sense)

feel free to share your headcanons lol)

Could you please do a fanfic for a male version of Yandere! Lady Dimitrescu (from Resident Evil Village game) with the reader.

I really like the Resident Evil franchise but I'm too lazy to know what the hell is happening in the older games XD I'm so sorry about that-

I loved watching playthroughs of Resident Evil Village (can't buy the game ;-;), but I felt like it was a bit empty, idk- I felt like the lords weren't really explored enough.

Also the Duke is the best husbando in the whole game- Fight me! >:3

TW/Tags: GN = Gender Neutral, I normally forget to properly name it when it's gender neutral, most of the time I just say "reader" // maybe ooc // lazy genderbent, I'm terrible with names // size difference // servant reader // mentions of gore/cuts/bruises/blood and deaths (and torture- I'm so sorry-) // reader gets hurt // mentions of vomiting

It's Dinner Already [Yandere!M!Dimitrescu x GN!Reader - Short Fanfiction]

It's dinner time already, unfortunately for you, of course.

It feels almost like a routine at this point- Which in a way, it is! You always take care of your tasks during the day, while dreading the inevitable time for dinner to arrive again.

Everyday, at this exact same hour, you and the other servants would prepare a meal for Lord Dimitrescu and his lovely… Sons…

As someone who has started "working" for their family only a month ago, you can positively say: Starving in the cold woods next to your village would have probably been a more merciful death than the ones you have witnessed at this place. You weren't as accustomed to such brutal executions at your village, actually you hardly even witnessed so much death, at least not so up close.

When you came here, you didn't expect to be instantly comforted and treated with respect- You were a commoner looking for an possibility to thrive in a noble's house, you were basically an easy target for any entitled selfish lord to easily belittle you and make you work for them until your hands would turn to dust. Yet nothing could have prepared you for such an odd situation.

Vampires. Monsters. Fiends if you were bold enough to insult them. You weren't exactly welcomed as much as you were snatched in and now forever trapped inside this castle. You can still hear their laughter… Their insane expressions of pure glee, the way they have bursted into maliciously laughing at your pain as you screamed for help trying to open up their door again and be free from that nightmare.

The chase didn't last even a second, they stabbed your legs with their scythes and brought you deeper inside this hellhole, as you cried your eyeballs out. The sons had brought you back inside so their father could take a look at the "intruder".

An absolute titan amongst the mortals. His height was only a sick reminder of how much power he had over the castle, over his sons, and now- Over you.

He may not have been as massive as he was threatening as you remind him to be, but at the time you were just in awe of his height considering you have never seen someone as tall and as mighty.

Then again- You have never seen vampires as well. Were they the same vampires as the books you've read as a kid? You weren't so sure of it…

You were hoping that if you begged for life and for forgiveness for having disturbed their peace, that they could spare you and let you go back to your village. Sadly enough, you commented on how you were only trying to look for a job as a servant.

You probably shouldn't have given them ideas, but it's too late to think about your mistakes now, however.

The sons begged to see your blood spilled, yet Lord Dimitrescu was merciful enough to grant you your "wish", as he said.

It has been a month ever since you were trapped inside and forced to work as a miserable little servant, and even if you didn't suffer the worst forms of punishments that they had in-store for you, you couldn't help but fantasize about just running away and never turning back.

You're so tired of this castle, of the smell of carnage, of the undeserved and over the top punishments, and especially of the people who would subjugate you to such things.

But at last, it's dinner time already, and you can't keep them waiting.

You feel your hands shaking as you walk out of the kitchen and into the dining room where the masters of the castle were so graciously waiting for you. You know what they're waiting for- But you can't let them distract you, for those that commit accidents are faced with fates worse than death.

Although you would rather do this process quickly, you can't afford mistakes to happen, so you take your time to set not only their meal in front of each one but to also pour "wine" into their glasses. You do all of this without looking directly into their eyes, only bowing down to each one and saying "excuse me"s in what they would call a "decent tone", as the smell of their disgusting beverage starts to irritate your nostrils. If you didn't know the main ingredient to Sanguis Virgins is, you probably wouldn't have this immense disgust over it, but right now just the thought of it makes you want to gag.

Only villains could so easily drink blood, and still make a living out of it.

Your internal thoughts of pure hatred against this whole situation almost completely blinded you to the fact that they were eerily, very quiet.

….

On most nights they would be talking with each other while occasionally making comments about you or your presence. Obviously they were all pretty nasty comments that they somehow expected you to back it up in some way or another, it's when they try to insert you into their conversation that makes you hate this occasion so badly, but it normally ends as quickly as it begins.

But as you are pouring wine to Lord's Dimitrescu, you notice that they haven't said a single thing while you were there. You stop what you're doing as you realize that they were silently observing you this whole time, and as you look into their expressions you come to think that maybe you have messed up-

Somehow, in some way or form, you may have messed up- And the fact this mistake could cost your head only agitates your already very worried mind.

….

A small moment of silence continues before the middle son, Cassandro, starts to chuckle in an almost innocent way- As if he was a kid who just said a bad word for the first time- And as he bursts into sudden laughter, Daniel leans towards Bello and loudly whispers:

"- I told you, they do this every time." To which Bello only replied with:

"- It's almost like hypnosis in a way."

The three sons were mesmerized by your ability to trap yourself in your own mind. They're probably aware that you do this as a defensive mechanism but they still find it comical in a weird way. You feel yourself get more tense as you look up at Lord Dimitrescu and see him staring back at you, with an unreadable expression across his face.

Before you could come up with an excuse to whatever you may have caused to disturb their dinner, the Lord himself spoke.

"- How inappropriate. As my sons, you three should know better than to laugh at our servant's airheaded mind-"

And as he said that, their smiles begin to disappear and be replaced with frowns and a bit of shame as they become stiff at their father's words.

"- And how inappropriate of you, too. To be so distracted in the presence of your masters, that's quite rude don't you think?"

But as he continued their bodies begin to relax once again as they realize he wasn't focusing on them- He was focusing on you.

Words have completely disappeared from your vocabulary as you start to think that maybe you won't be able to see another day after their meal is over. You try to mumble some possible responses before getting interrupted by him once again.

"- It's very rude, so very rude in fact that I think we deserve some answers. What were you so distracted about? What were you thinking that could have possibly taken over your small little head?"

Right now, he was sounding a bit condescending, thankfully not as angry as he would have been with the other servants right about now. Every little mistake was used as excuses for punishments- And if you were walking on thin ice before, right now you are one-step closer to breaking this entire lake and getting yourself killed by the freezing temperatures of the water below you.

Thanks to your luck (or maybe lack thereof, depending on how you see this) Daniel came to "your rescue" by coming up with an excuse for you.

"- Maybe they were hungry." He said without any indications of it being a joke or a lie- As the youngest yet craziest of the bunch, he always had that weird "naive yet dangerous" energy coming from him. He was naive enough to make that statement when it's very clear that you actually despise being near them, but he still was a son of Dimitrescu.

You know better than to underestimate any of these people.

The Lord didn't seem completely convinced as he side eyed Daniel who was blissfully eating his meal without acknowledging his dad's glance or his brother's looks of disapproval.

Without a warning you were pulled closer by your wrist and forced into sitting next to the Lord, who made a sign for another servant to bring you your food. This… Doesn't feel right at all, you're waiting for the worst to come yet you don't feel like you can ever prepare yourself enough for what they have in store.

"- M-My Lord- This isn't needed, I'm fine. I'll just continue my duties, if you can excuse me-" You plead, while trying to get up from your chair.

"- Oh but what host would I be if I didn't take better care of my guests? Poor thing, you must be starving if you can barely serve us wine-" And as his tone gets progressively more sarcastic and a bit louder, you can hear his sons snickering from the other side of the table, but you can't see them since you can't take your eyes away from him.

You're worried that if you look away for just one second, that you may not be able to see ever again.

"- It's so sad when one of our guests feels hungry- What's worse is when we are also very, very hungry."

"- Thirsty, even!"

"- Oh, I can feel my throat drying just at the thought of such misery!- Our dinner seems to be ruined."

You hear their whispers, you hear how they are clearly joking about this- How overly dramatic they're being over something so miniscule as you just- Ignoring them.

Let me remind you this is all because you refuse to look them in the eyes, that you refuse to give them any satisfaction for the heinous things they have done! You've seen so many people get hurt inside this castle only for their sick and twisted thirst and entertainment.

"- Indeed, my boys. My appetite is ruined, though dinner is not over yet-" Lord Dimitrescu spoke as he looked at his sons clearly enjoying your inevitable pain, but before he could continue he turns himself to you again, putting a hand on your arm and saying:

"- Wouldn't you agree?" Loud enough so that his sons could hear it, but soft enough to send the tiniest shivers down your spine.

"- …!"

"- No, no- Please, not again!-" He wouldn't dare do this, would he??

But before you could react he had already done it, you barely noticed how fast he had grabbed that knife to slice your wrist- His hand firmly gripping your arm as he made a deep enough cut so that your blood could be easier to access.

It somehow hurts just as badly as the first time his sons have stabbed your ankles and dragged you across the floor- At least you're not bumping into things like before, and even if it's a deep cut it's not as big as it could be if he used his claws to actually do this.

Oh, oh those claws- You almost thought he would use them on you… Those were something else. You can't remember exactly what happened, and why it happened, but you remember seeing him use those on another servant who may have crossed the line at some point.

Well "crossed the line"- More like "casually inconvenienced him". Lord Alcino may act like an incredibly high noble but he acts so childishly and in such an egotistical manner that you are surprised he can even have a castle like this in the first place! You don't remember what the servant has done to be so cruelly dismantled, but you don't doubt that it was for a stupid reason!

You miss that servant actually- Probably the only person who you actually talked with, and the first one to actually taught you how to do your job… You two could have been friends if he didn't intervene.

You briefly remember those moments before getting to experience the most weird sensation of all- Having your bloody cut be licked and sucked on. It hurts and it stings in a way that not only makes you want to cry but to also gag at the thought of you feeding this monster.

You refuse to look at him even in this scenario, you refuse to see him feeding off your blood… Sometimes you wish you were just as poisonous as some species of frogs, poisonous enough to make his mouth burn so he can experience a fraction of the pain he causes to others.

You tried fleeting away, you tried getting up and moving away but his grip on your arm only helped you in getting closer to him- You have your eyes closed as your only option is to cry and muffle your agony.

But as always, he is not satisfied with you just ignoring him. This was supposed to be a lesson, yet you're clearly avoiding your teacher as best as you can- But not today, little flower, you're not getting out of this so easily.

This is the first time he ever got to really taste your blood, as normally you would be behind the other servants while trying to learn how to please him, the only moments where he gets to see you is when it's dinner time, but oh- You're just so cruel!

Escaping inside your own little head while he has to content himself with just your image. Your presence is very much appreciated around this hour, little one-

He has noticed this before, of course, but it was only when he noticed his son's curiosity over the way you behave around them that made him organize this little trap. He didn't have everything planned actually, his plan only involved getting to this moment no matter what- And oh boy, has luck been on his side!

Your blood tastes better than expected of a commoner, your delicate and fearful whines of pain are just as delightful but what really gets him is this tough persona you try to convince everyone you have- You despise him, and it's clear to see why- But he knows his charms will probably work on you one way or the other.

He gripped your face trying to make sure you'll get to him in the eyes as he has a taste of you. Absolutely delicious, especially after you so gracefully "ruined" their dinner.

His sons were just watching as they continued to drink from their crimson glasses. They were just enjoying the show, as everything seems to easily amuse them- Their father was just showcasing how they were so much better than the common folk, and they have no other option but to take notes and to remember what they have to do if they ever feel ignored by the servants in the castle: Show who are the true masters of this place.

None of them were really interested in drinking from you, considering how all three seemed to recognize how their father has taken a liking towards you. No one would dare mess with their father's prey.

If you had enough strength in you, you would start vomiting as soon as this has started, but the more he takes from you the more you feel like you can barely stay conscious.

He wasn't supposed to take so much, at least not so soon- He wanted to just take a sip but he can't deny the fact he would rather drown himself in your blood than to let go.

He sighs, as he notices that you're slowly getting less and less aggressive, getting more and more tired as he drains you from this cut.

You're not unconscious yet, just barely stable enough to understand what's going on.

"- Sigh… Now that was a decent enough meal." He can't praise you for being tasty, can't have you being cocky around him.

"- Here, since I'm done here I'll take you to the servant's living quarters- And because I'm so kind I'll make sure that wound is safely secured and cleaned, so here- Come along now."

And as he stood up he offered you his hand so you could get up yourself, but you don't have enough energy to walk yourself to your room, thankfully you're already ready to go to bed and wish to never wake up again.

And as the nightmare never ends, he decides that if you are going to be difficult then you leave him no choice but to carry you there. How much has he taken from you?? Jesus, he should learn some self-control before doing this again- The absolute brute that he is.

Your vision may be a little screwed over because of the lack of red cells running through your body at the moment- But you have a weird feeling that you two aren't heading towards the servant's living quarters, as you feel like you two are quite literally going in the opposite direction.

Oh but it's fine- Right?

It'll be fine. Surely. After all, he already took what he wanted from you, and he doesn't seem to need more so- You probably won't have to worry about anything right now, dinner time is already over, you can finally relax now….

Genshin event: may light bring us back [lantern rite]

Starting off with a secret event that HoYoverse set up, if players want to get to the event banner, they have to meet certain someone to unlock the event. It also trigger character banner to unlock- featuring you. Reader. As the new 5*. In this case, the reader is electro and polearm user [and is using signature weapon when in burst mode, which is a scythe.]

Act Ⅲ

As the three reaches mountain Aocang, the traveler immediately made an offering and place it on the table, "Is this some kind of an offering..?" The traveler nodded, "If we didn't make an offering, she wouldn't even let us in!" Paimon explained, "I see.." [y/n] look to the ground and quickly shaking their head, "we should head inside, let's go."

Traveler knocked on the domain door and gently open it, [y/n] eyes scanning every island in the room, "One comes at the right time when needed, Traveler, I suggest you come and see me as soon as possible. One has something important to discuss and one will be the judges."

"She hasn't changed at all.." [y/n] whisper, they look relieved upon hearing the adepti voice.

After Traveler solving the puzzles

"ah! Traveler, Paimon! you two... Can go firsts, I have something I must to do before seeing her." "Huh? .. alright then..." Paimon hesitantly said, "let's go, traveler!" The two leave the [h/c] alone and go up into the floating island that cloud retainer in.

Shockingly found Xiao with his usual pose, "X-xiao?! What are you doing here?!" Paimon yelled, "...something has come up. I can't tell you yet." He looks away and sighs, Xiao look at traveler and Paimon, "I supposed to be the one who asks, why are you two here." "W-well, W-we help this person and-!" Xiao frowned, "just spit it out."

"They told us that they want to see cloud retainer..." Paimon said "Me? Hm, who is this person you're talking to? And where are they?" "W-well!" "I'm apologies if I took too long." [Y/n] casually walk to them, Xiao and cloud retainer takes a sharp breath.

"oh! It's been a long time, isn't it Xiao?" They smiled "Yún." Xiao said with venomous tone [Y/n] awkwardly chuckles, "Just call me by my real name Xiao, and cloud retainer, I have a lot to say." "And one does too. So let me start first." Xiao glared at traveler and Paimon, the two just look away in guilt.

"one has a lot to say too. [Y/n], how did you wake up from your slumber? We have tried everything but no results." [Y/n] look down, "that's... I'll explain it later." "Moving on. How do you feel after awakening again?" They look at their hands, "I feel ... Relief? But part of me feels uncomfortable." "I see."

"stop with the useless question, cloud retainer." "Mhhmp, I merely ask about their condition, it's good enough that—" "we don't talk about that anymore." Xiao glared cloud retainer, "one is still running away from the reality, and one has been awoken from their slumber. I suggest for [y/n] to not use your adepti power and rest." [Y/n] nodded "before I do, I need to explain everything to all of you at what happened back then."

"It was selfish of me for acting on my own... I have expected that in many ways, but.." [Y/n] stop, and look up with teary eyes, "back then, something is controlling me. I- I couldn't control myself." They clutched their clothes "you're being... Controlled?" Xiao ask, they nodded.

"I know the backup plans for something might have changed for the worst, and the moment table is flip, as soon I headed to the backup army's to tell everyone to move, my body... Froze." This is a piece of new information for everyone. "Do you still feel you are being controlled?" Cloud retainer ask, "... Now that you mention it.." [y/n] held their forehead, "I do feel something familiar. No. Very familiar is the right word."

"Does this relate to them suddenly collapsing because of using too much energy? I mean, it should be related right?" Paimon looks at [y/n], "when you said you're being controlled, I theories that you're sleeping against your will!" "For someone like you Paimon, you're pretty smart." Paimon pouted "this will be the last time Paimon tells you that Paimon is not stupid!!" And kick the air.

"But why now?" traveler asks, [y/n] look away, "..." Everyone is on deep thoughts, trying to connect everything, cloud retainer sigh, "there will be no answers if we all stayed in one place. Rejoice, you all should look for a clue. And one will tell everyone about this." Everyone agreed and nodded.

The four is now outside the domain, "[y/n]." They get startled by the sudden voice beside them, "yes Xiao?" They awkwardly smile, "We need to talk in private. You two can go ahead searching for any clue." Xiao grabs [y/n] wrist and teleport. "How are we supposed to find a clue when the person we're helping isn't here!?" Paimon shouted.

"ugh, they should be in wangshu inn... We should wait for [y/n] a bit until they finish talking to each other." Paimon crossed her arms, "In the meantime, we should check out the festival!" Paimon dragged Traveler with her to Liyue harbor.

[meet up in wangshu inn at 19:00]

[act Ⅲ finished, banner and event page unlock, player be able to make a wish, claim extra reward, and plays mini games.]

Act Ⅳ

[go to third floor]

"[y/n]! Xiao!" Paimon shouted, "hello Paimon, traveler." "..." Xiao looks away, "huh? What's up with him?" Paimon tilted her head, "oh, don't mind him..! He's just ... Um, not in the mood for now." Paimon looks at [y/n] "Isn't that just typical Xiao?" [Y/n] laugh, "I'm still here you know. Sigh, you guys should go already, me and [y/n] made a plan if something happens. Go."

"not even inviting us? Sheesh." Xiao didn't respond, [y/n] sigh, "let's go, this turnout event is burning Xiao out, we should leave him alone for the time being." The traveler nodded, "We should head to the forest where we found you there!"

As they arrived..

"everything looks normal..." Paimon commented, "we can't get a clue for just standing around." Traveler put [her/his] hands on [her/his] hips, Paimon nervously chuckled. "A-anyway! [Y/n], any progress?" She changed the subject.

"hm... A little." "Oh? Tell us!" [Y/n] got up from crouching and look around, "I noticed some of these flowers... Got corrupted at some point." They look at traveler, "I begin to think about you step one of them and crushed its energy." [Y/n] picked up a flower that has a dark aura surrounding them, "wait, a plant can get corrupted?" "Well, a plant is technically a living being."

"Paimon never thought of that..." "Neither everyone Paimon. Judging by it, it's a high level." "Do you think it will lead us to the person?" The traveler asked, "I'm not too sure yet, but, I'm sure we'll find a way." [Y/n] smiled.

"either way, we should be looking out for any clue, let's keep searching." They switch into a more professional one, [y/n] turn around and walk away from traveler and Paimon, "not even an instruction? Jeez." Paimon annoyed, "Paimon wants to give them an ugly nickname! How about..." "We're going to find nothing but cabbage Paimon."

Paimon whines, "ugh, now you say it.." she pouted. "I guess we look for a plant that looks odd!" And disappear within the air.

[find something odd]

"this Qingxin looks odd... Let's call [y/n]!" The traveler nodded, [y/n] was not far from them, they turn around, "hm? Got any clue?" [⊕ yes] [not yet...] "Great! I also found some. Let's see what you have."

Traveler leads [y/n] to the flower, they took a careful look at the Qingxin, "this one has more energy to it. Maybe we can use it to track the demon." They got up and look at the traveler, "thank you again for helping me." [Y/n] place their right hand to their chest, a sign of gratitude.

"It's no problem!" Traveler put [her/his] hands on [her/his] hips and smile. "Let's not waste time! Let's go!" Paimon said with enthusiasm. "But first, let's examine all of the clues that we got so far. First, I found a letter, it looks freshly made, I assume that this person planned this."

"yikes! Paimon suddenly doesn't want to go..." Paimon looks at the traveler, worried. "Second, I discover that my flowers bed is in the same condition as this Qingxin." Paimon and traveler's eyes widened, "but we didn't see any black smoke coming out from them!" Traveler nodded.

"at first, yes. I don't know how did it go purified..." [Y/n] paused, Paimon notice something, "wait, did you say purify?" Paimon asks, "ah yes. I did say that. What's wrong?" [Y/n] answered Paimon curiosity, "Uhh, Traveler, maybe you did purify those flowers. Just like dvalin tears!" [Y/n] surprised, "dvalin? Oh! Is it one of the four wind in mondstadt?" "Yeah! Wait, how did you know?" [Y/n] nervously chuckled, "that's for next times..."

[y/n] cleared their throat, "anyway, traveler, Paimon said that you purify dvalin corrupted tears, say. Can you do it to this Qingxin?" [Y/n] hands the flower to the traveler, [she/he] nodded. The flower got into traveler grips, it begin to float and the black smoke furiously left the flower.

[y/n] surprised, their mouth open, but the word doesn't leave from it. "I'm speechless traveler. I can't believe I found someone so.. gifted." [y/n] smiled, "I thank you again for helping me." "It's no problem!" Traveler nodded.

"With this, we should be able to track them, I'm sure it's not far away from here."

Traveler, Paimon, and [y/n] are on their way, while looking around, they make a small conversation, "say! You and Xiao made a plan, mind telling us?" Paimon asks, "I wouldn't mind to say it now but.." "but?" Paimon tilted her head, "someone is watching us." [Y/n] replied with a serious tone, Paimon yelped.

"w-where!?" [Y/n] sigh, "it's everywhere Paimon, I can give you two visuals, but I don't think they would appreciate it, hehe.." they nervously chuckle, [y/n] take a deep breath, "are you ready?" Traveler and Paimon nodded, "alright, here I go." [Y/n] lift their right hand, they mumbling ancient speech that seem to be a spell. Their right hand glowed dark purple.

"w-wait!!!" [Y/n] look at Paimon, they blink a couple of times, "a-arent you supposed to not use your power? M-maybe we should do this..." "Paimon, just say you didn't this." Traveler looks at Paimon with a frown face and half-lidded eyes.

[y/n] sigh again, "I suppose." They canceled the spell and bring down their hand. Shaking their head, "anyway, I finally got the location, there's a small trace of dark energy if you may call it that."

"what are we waiting for? Let's go and beat this monster!" Paimon happily says. [Y/n] couldn't help but chuckle at Paimon's optimistic speech.

The three continue to roam around the dark forest and stumble upon some kind of battle ring with a strange pattern going around it. "Is this the place? Doesn't look fancy at all." Paimon commented, "it's what they do to not look suspicious." [Y/n] explained as they step into the concrete, leaving traveler and Paimon, glancing in every direction. Trying to get familiar with the dark surroundings.

[Y/n] stop walking and sigh in disappointment, "maybe we're too late..." 'But this wind, this wind is the same as I experience at that time.' "uhhh, Paimon doesn't like it here..." Paimon flies behind the traveler for protection.

[y/n] stayed silent for a moment while thinking about the possibility, they turn around to look at the traveler, "Maybe we should go back and come here tomorrow, there's no need to rush after all." [Y/n] begin to walk back, and someone had decided to shows up now.

"[Y/n]! Behind you!." Traveler and Paimon screamed before the dark purple smoke could attack [y/n], Traveler runs to grab them and pulled [y/n] behind, using a sword to block the attack.

Ends up failing and got thrown away with [y/n], "Traveler! [Y/n]!" Paimon quickly glides towards them, "haha... Hahahahaha!!" The smoke revealed a huge dark moose, with purple veins and red eyes that glowed through the dark forest.

"Traveler! Wake up! Traveler!" Paimon continuously shakes the traveler's body, "This is bad, you two need to get out." "What about you?!" [Y/n] look down, to traveler who's laying on their lap, "I need to settle down this battle, between me, and him." They look at the monster.

"you can't do that!" "I'm sorry Paimon, take care [Lumine/Aether] for me." Paimon looks at [y/n] with terrified, she doesn't know what to do, "Xiao." He appeared in a second, and take a sharp breath, "are you alright?!" He quickly checks [y/n] by cupping their right cheek and turning it right and left.

"Xiao, I'm fine." They smiled, before quickly frowning, "please, bring the traveler to this man called baizhu that you mentioned." Xiao looks at the traveler, "what about you." They stayed silent, "[y/n] don't be stupid, you cannot defeat him-" "I can. And I will." They look at Xiao with determination.

"[y/n]. I- I cannot afford to lose you again. Not again." [Y/n] took Xiao's hands, cup it between their own and bring it to their forehead, "don't worry, I won't." [Y/n] carried the traveler's body to a near tree, Xiao and Paimon followed behind while eying the monster.

"I shall leave traveler here," "[y/n], it's too dangerous, you must not fight him." Xiao desperately warns them, he knows that it's useless for a time like this, especially when someone got injured because of them. He knows it all.

"what is going on here?!" The voice of cloud retainer echoed along with footsteps. "Cloud retainer! Zhongli!" Zhongli's reaction was furious, "you certainly not lying about Yún waking up."

"mhp! How dare you called me a liar." "It's not the time to argue!" Paimon yelled, "Lord Morax... It's good to see you again." [Y/n] look at him, smiled, "I must remind you all that this battle is only for me to do." They look at everyone before staying at Xiao, "I'm pretty sure that he doesn't want anyone to interrupt."

Xiao kissed his teeth and gritted them. "Xiao, The only thing we could do is give up" "No we fucking don't." He glared at Zhongli, before the man scolded Xiao, [y/n] got up from the ground, look at traveler once last time.

"This is goodbye, I suppose." They walk to the battle ring again, summoning their polearm and mask, covering half their face "[Y/n], Stop this instant!" Xiao caught up to them before he could grasp their wrist, a barrier was in the way.

"[y/n]!" Punching the invisible barrier, again and again, hoping it to break. "Finally... I've been waiting for too long." The dark moose complained, "now, shall we start?" [Y/n] didn't say a thing. "I take that as a yes."

Before he could attack, [y/n] set up a trap, instead of attacking the front, he instead attack the back, "why are you attacking the opposite of the enemy?" [Y/n] smirking, he sweatdropped, "you..."

[y/n] finally moved, run towards him and jump up in the air, as the moose attack with high energy, [y/n] disappear as it hits them, reappear behind him without any presence coming out and sneaky attack him.

The moose let out a grunt as he took massive damage, but not near enough to lead him to die. "Xiao, I'm sure they will be alright." Xiao keeps trying to break through the barrier, "I can't! I-I can't afford to lose them too!" Attacking the barrier with his polearm.

[defeat the enemy.]

"[Y/n]!!" sound was muffled to them, [Y/n] keep dodging the moose attack, before walk into his trap and get hit badly. Xiao screamed once again, it was very out of character for him. He doesn't want to be alone again, he doesn't want to wait for them to open their eyes for centuries again. Not again.

[y/n] silently gasping, and clutching their clothes, "Is that what you got? Only one hit. I thought I had already given you enough time." They cough up blood, "let's tu-turn that around shall w-we." [Y/n] lift their right hand, and snapped.

Creating an electro explosion, "heh, you know, explosion doesn't affect me–" [y/n] appeared behind him with their scythe and slashed his head.

'blood.' [y/n] taste blood, 'it tastes irony.' their cheeks clothes, covered in blood. The barrier deactivate, Xiao waste not a second to teleport to [y/n] before they fell off to the ground.

"Xiao.." they only see a silhouette for black, mind, and golden. [Y/n] couldn't tell if tears were dripping onto their face because of the warm blood. "Hey, Xiao... I did it." They smiled, "we need to bring them to their domain." "Cloud retainer... How is a traveler?" She sigh.

"you need to start worried about yourself, and [she/he] is fine, Morax is on his way to get [her/him] treated immediately." They let out a sigh of relief. Xiao tightens his grip on [y/n], "look like I'm going to stick around with you again, Alatus." [Y/n] smiled.

"don't leave me again." He buried his head onto their crookneck. "Now, let's go." Cloud retainer interrupts the two and tells them to move fast. Xiao teleported him and [Y/n] to their domain, which cloud retainer designed to have a lot of security.

At the platform, the two find a tree with the white leaf's in the corner of the platform, a flower bed, two tables on the side with books sitting on top and the side of it, and an empty table with two pillows as a chair, it was comforting.

Xiao gently places [y/n] to the flower bed, and watches their wounds healing slowly, "[y/n]..?" They hummed, "what is it?" He takes their hand, places it on his cheek, and brings his face close to [y/n]'s.

[Y/n] opened their eyes, feeling warm breath fanning their face, seeing Xiao's eyes lock to theirs, making [y/n] stop breathing. Speck of colors can be seen, [y/n] can easily count his eyelashes.

His hairs tickle [y/n], they didn't want to laugh to they closed their eyes. Xiao, who's misunderstood this, his face was burning red, before hesitantly tracing their lips with his gloved fingers.

Before crashing his lips with theirs. He has no experience with kissing let alone romance. He does see those mortals do this kind of thing. The kiss was sloppy, it was warm to say at least. Perfect comfort for both of them.

As Xiao pulled away, [Y/n] face was burning, their cheeks felt hot, [y/n] look away from Xiao. He decided to lay down beside [y/n], "don't say anything." Making [y/n] back facing him, he wrapped his arms around their waist and buried his head to [y/n] hairs.

"In the end, we will always be together, no matter what the cause is."

Xiao and [y/n] are on the top of a hill, watching the lantern together after [y/n] was insisted on watching it float away in the sky beautifully.

"oh yeah! The traveler also gives us two lanterns, I need to properly thanks [her/him].." while staring at the lanterns, "here!" They hand one of the lanterns to Xiao, before he hesitantly took it. "Oh come on! It's not like it is dangerous." [Y/n] teased, he grumbled and didn't say a thing.

[y/n] laugh, before stopping with a sigh, "let's make a wish and release it to the sky." "This is stupid." "I'm sure it didn't hurt us!" He sighs, "it doesn't give us any benefits." "Us huh.."

Xiao grumbles, "ugh, let's just start and stop talking." [Y/n] let out okay multiple times and stop teasing the yaksha.

They both look at their lantern in their hands making wishes. Before letting it fly together to the night sky, the two watch their lantern joining the rest. [Y/n] place their head to Xiao's shoulder and whisper...

"may the light bring us back again."
