Bloodmoon Huntress Rayla AU

Sometimes, she wakes up to feeling blood all around her, not in a good way. If there even is a good way to word it like that.

It's like a horrible stain on her, itching all around her whenever the mere thought of that night comes to play. She barely remembers that night. She just knows that there were beasts. Probably rabid Banthers, and she collapsed after fighting and covered in blood. That's the only answer... right? Yeah, only answer.

Rayla internally scolds herself, not knowing why the thought of that random night is coming back when they are facing a horrible threat.

"I recognize that bow. How interesting it's passed to you. How long has it been?"

Rayla grits her teeth as she holds the bow and its string, already nocked with an arrow and ready to fly. Callum, Soren, and Ezran look between the two Moonshadow elves in confusion. Kim'dael, the Bloodmoon Huntress, standing ever so poised ahead of them. Rayla glares at her, and the itch of blood is coming back.

"Hm... are you still a non-killer? It's disappointing, I thought you'd make a good Huntress."

Rayla furrows her brows, looking a bit confused. "How... do you know that?" "Should I be offended? You sound as if you don't remember me." Rayla scoffs. "Oh, I remember, I was there when you tried to kill me when I was just a kid."

Callum's soft, "What?" doesn't go unnoticed by the two elves, Rayla merely brushes his question off. She keeps looking at Kim'dael, eyes trained on her for any movements. "So you don't remember our other meeting." "What..?" "I tried to make you like me, imagine my utter devastation to know you've never killed. Yet you look like one, unfortunately, you weren't fit to be a Huntress like me."

The itching of blood is getting worse. She can taste blood on her lips. She isn't hurt. What is going on?

"What are you talking about?"

"You certainly remember the night, covered in blood. Seems you're failing to remember what led to it."

"Rabid banthers."

"That much blood for what, two banthers? Think on it."

The taste is getting stronger. It's not her blood...

An elf she never knew, on the ground, their throat cut with a slice. Their blood...

Rayla lowers the bow just slightly. "What did you do to me?"

"I tried to make you like me. I did not know you never killed anyone. Some assassin you are."

The sun is beating down on them, and everything in Rayla is on high. It doesn't feel like a sun. It's like a Sunforge blade or a dragon's fire beating down on her specifically.

"Rayla, what's wrong?"

Rayla, with a slight tremble, directs the arrow to Kim'dael. "..."

She merely grins and ends up to the side as the arrow whizzes past.

"Fulminis!"

Another dodge, this time nowhere in sight. Everyone moves, trying to gauge the Bloodmoon Huntress's next location. "Rayla, snap out of it." Before she can respond to Soren, the cold smell of blood is at her throat. Kim'dael, right behind her.

"I can smell it. You've shed someone's blood, maybe next time, try to finish the job assassin."

She's frozen in place as Kim'dael holds out that vial of blood for Rayla to see, only to take a drop and disappear once more. Rayla's mind is blank, her entire body still. Then she drops, hearing her friends calling to her in worry as the sun swells down.

Rayla sits up with a start. Someone grabs her arm and keeps her settled down. The taste of blood is still fresh in her mouth. "Hey, Rayla. Calm down, breathe. Stay with me." She looks, that familiar High Mage of hers. "I need you to focus."

Rayla merely shakes her head slowly and then covers her eyes with her hands, unable to bear whatever reality she has woken to. She remembers it now. The blood, Kim'dael's voice, all of it. Searing itself back into her mind. "There's something wrong with me..."

"Rayla, what do you mean?"

She can feel whatever is wrong with her. Festering around her. The mention of the blood she spilled when underwater that night, it makes the festering grows.

I love how this is the exact moment Rayla makes her decision.

She touches her bracelet and just knows.

Just as she belongs with Callum and has to come back to him‚ Runaan belongs with Ethari and her parents should stay together even if that means letting both them go.

It's such an small detail but it speaks volumes.

i feel like i’m the only one that doesn’t want arc 3 (seasons 8-10) to be set far into the future. like im talking 10 years into the future. because i know that if this happens and the characters are in marriages and have their own children then the story is more than likely going to be about their children and i personally want to know more about the characters we’ve been with, not their kids. don’t get me wrong, i would love to see domestic rayllum and their kids and how all the other characters have grown up, but i don’t want those children to be the focus. i want more of the characters we already know and love. which is why if we do get arc 3, i want it to still be about our main characters (obviously while branching out to seeing others like how arc 2 has branched out to lux aurea) and their conflicts and stories and lives. i’ve seen a lot of theories for how they could still be the focus and my favorite one is probably with the antagonists being the cosmic order against our characters

This is a small thing but I'm really curious about what Rayla and Callum's priorities will be at the Starscraper regarding the Quasar diamonds and the Nova Blade.

What seems to be the most clearly set up is that Rayla will be mostly interested in the Quasar diamonds, as they hold the key for freeing her family, and she obviously wants her family back.

This would also help nudge her in the direction of an arc where she spares/saves Callum under possession because by not being willing to sacrifice her parents, she would have an easier time likewise not sacrificing him.

And that Callum, conversely, will prioritize getting the Nova Blade, seeing as he was the one pushing for it in 5x05 and is the most concerned / worried about Aaravos' hold on him. This would also help support his take of "if he takes control of me again, you need to kill me" because he doesn't want Aaravos to hurt anyone / cause worldwide destruction.

And if he's focused on that, then maybe Rayla will free herself up a bit to focus more on her family.

However, in my head... I can't really rule out the Opposite happening, either.

It was Rayla's idea, after all, to figure out how to kill Aaravos in the first place, and we watch her routinely put her family on the backburner (5x01, 5x04, 5x05) and even apparently in 6x01 with Callum being the one to remind her that the Starscraper has something she wants, too (very a la TTM). This would also push the likelihood of us worrying/wondering if she might really kill Callum up to the forefront, too, which is good drama.

R: I love you and I haven't forgotten about you. But... I can't help you yet. Because right now, the world needs me. Callum and Ezran need me.

and Callum is the one more likely to ask for detours / indulgences, whether for his own personal needs (because he's more balanced and emotionally healthy most of the time), or in prioritizing Rayla, especially when she's not prioritizing herself.

C: Xadia's to the east, right? So is the Lodge. It's on the way!

Again, Callum's prioritization could be "I'll handle the Nova Blade (the mission), so you can focus on your parents" (like in 1x07) because Both these things are Important (+ dramatic irony of Callum seeking out the weapon that's just not going to end well for anyone involved, I'm sure), and that is probably the one I'm leaning towards. But I'll be very curious to see which way everything falls either way

I know in the grand scheme of things that this is by no means a lot, but it doesn't stop me from being FLOORED by the reception of my Rayllum Month stuff?!?! Like these PROPORTIONS are NUTS to me and I'm just over here in my bedroom sobbing my eyes out that my stuff (apparently) resonates with people the way I really want it to.

(^ the proportions in question)

Like, out of 895 people, and SO FAST (6 days, as of my posting this), 15 subscribed and I've got 79 kudos?! And 16 bookmarks?! AND 17 PEOPLE CARED ENOUGH TO COMMENT WHAT THE HECK?!?!?! I'm an emotional mess you guys and ik it's not a lot but it means EVERYTHING to me that people like my writing and I just CAN'T-
