prince charming •||• Loki x Reader
Today was going to be like any other day. Normal. Or bad. I had made sure that Loki didn’t remember. Or, I tried to make sure. No one was going to remember anyway, so what was the point? Except . . . they all would. I groaned into my pillow.
I rolled out of bed, not even glancing at my phone. I didn’t want to see the date. I didn’t want to be reminded about today.
Tony and Thor and Peter would want to throw me a large party. Steve and Bruce would buy me something thoughtful and I started to feel bad already. Nat would probably be the only one to mostly follow my wishes about today. (I hoped.)
Loki would most likely hover around me and spoil me beyond the stars. Without my permission, too. Shower me with whatever I wanted, go to ridiculous lengths to keep me smiling. Drop cute pet names like “darling” and stuff. My heart fluttered at the thought.
I sigh. Loki would not be able to spoil me today.
I stumbled to the bathroom to take a shower. I wasn’t even properly awake. I blinked my still-glued eyes furiously, trying to see. “I look like crap,” I mutter. “They will kill me today.” I wanted to die today.
I stripped, getting in the shower. I kept it quick, trying to make it as easy as possible to leave my apartment before the others came at like, eleven, or something.
I could hear car horns honking. I sigh. Today was going to be long. I wrap a towel around my body. As I walk out, I noticed something new. My eyes widened.
My dear, Could you please wear this today? I had something special planned. I thought that you would like this, and maybe the . . . headdress along with it will spike some interest.
Underneath the note, there was a long, green and silver-laced dress. The sleeves were simply straps that hung on one’s shoulders.
Peeking above the top of the dress was a headband-crown-thing with Loki’s horns. Basically a more feminine version of his helmet, but not a helmet? It wasn’t gold, but silver. The top was missing.
What was he planning?
I glared at the fabric. It wasn’t something I would wear usually. . . . I debated in my head, but it was at least an excuse not to put on pants, today. I rolled my eyes, grabbed the dress, and started dressing.
***
I looked at myself in the mirror evilly. Loki seemed to know what would look good. Drat. I peered around the apartment. Where were my shoes? I looked in the spot where I left them; where my cat, Jingle, might have batted them. Nowhere.
Green satin heels sat by the door. I growled. Loki! I huffed and slipped my only options on, surprised immediately. They were comfortable. Like wearing pillows without the bulk.
“For the love of my socks,” I mutter. “Who told him?” I grabbed the stupid crown thingie as I made way to the stupid door. As I grabbed the handle, my hair flew into a beautiful hairstyle. I growled. Something told me he expected me to wear the horned crown.
I set it on my head, irritated. I couldn’t even each the top of the horns’ curve. As soon as I thought the words, the whole thing changed size to be a perfect fit. This, too, was comfortable.
He got a head start on the spoiling.
I finally turned the knob and made my way into the hallway. The neighbors weren’t out, so I didn’t get any weird looks. I held my breath as I went down to exit the building, peeking out the window only to see the bright sun. I was hoping for rain, maybe to muss my hair.
Not only was the sun out, but I saw a horse’s tail flick impatiently. Gold and green. I swallowed and walked outside. To see him.
Loki POV
No, I didn’t have to wear my armor today. I didn’t have to go and pick (Y/N) up from the apartments, either. I didn’t have to bring a horse, or buy her things. But I did. I did it, anyway.
Perhaps she had forgotten about today’s importance. Or, even better, she remembered, and I could fluster her as much as I liked. I knew that she might have dreamt about this when she was younger, or must have known someone who had.
Today, I was not just simply Loki of Asgard. I was Prince Loki, Son of King Odin. I grinned down at (Y/N), hoping my face wasn’t red from her beauty. “Hello, darling. A little bird told me that today was a special day.”
I slid off my horse, bowing down with a smirk. She folded her arms and pouted. I rose, kissing her hand. “Happy birthday, my princess.” I grinned at the mortal girl. She pulled her hand away.
“That’s not fair. I didn’t want to be celebrated,” she growled. She shook her head. “This isn’t fair. I didn’t ask for—”
“I rescued you from the others, dear. I’m your Prince Charming for the day.” I take her hand again as I bring her toward my horse. She flushed. I beamed. I leant in and whispered, “Or I’ll be your bad boy, if that’s more your thing.” She shoved me, rolling her eyes.
“Stop it,” she huffs. She turned to the horse. “How am I going to get up onto . . . ?” I lifted her, and she yelped. She climbed onto him side-saddle. I smiled excitedly.
“Today shall be wonderful,” I vow, climbing on next to her. She wrapped her arms tightly around my waist. I was trying to make a scene, having the entire street celebrate with me. I saw some girls gape in jealousy, some men, too. I smirked in victory. My princess, I thought. Mine. My success made me giddy, but because of an opposite cause. I could tell they were staring at her, not me.
I think it was the fact that the was not only seen as I saw her, but I didn’t have to share her.
I told the horse to move, feeling (Y/N) grip tighter. I chuckled, turning so I could see her out of the corner of my eye. “Haven’t you rode before?” She shook her head, seeming to be panicked. “Don’t worry, darling. I would never let you fall.”
I made way down to the park, making sure to get some of my brother’s friends to see our wonderful lady by my side. He said they would be by that coffee shop, Avenger Beans. As we passed, I caught a brief flash of Thor’s thoughts. He was admiring my lady, with some death threats directed toward me. He was jealous, too? Glorious.
“Loki, look, it’s Thor!” (Y/N) giggled. She waved. Thor waved back. I rolled my eyes. Thor . . . always the ladies’ choice. I looked back at (Y/N), thinking about being nice to my brother for once. Maybe my princess would smile more.
“Would you like to say hello?” I ask. She shook her head, her face dark at my suggestion. My heart skipped a beat. “Why not?” I press, arching a brow. I puckered my lips.
“I’m spending my birthday with my Prince Charming?” She said it like it was a question, or stating the obvious. I felt my face grow hot, the corners of my mouth moving to my ears. She giggled again. She was probably humoring me. But there was a possibility that she meant it. . . .
“You’re so easily amused,” she says. (Y/N) was wrong, but I didn’t tell her that. She was only of the only things (and people) I smiled for.
I watched as Thor glared at me. It felt nice to have claim to something he wanted just as badly as I did. (I didn’t just want her, I loved her.) I sat up a little higher than before, now that I could see his uncomfortable expression. This girl chose me, I thought with a realization. My heart beat hard.
“Where do you want to go, dear?” I asked. She pointed to Central Park. I looked back at her and grinned. She did too, but belatedly realized what I was up to. I bundled the horse’s reigns in my hands. Her eyes went wide as my lips tugged into a maniac’s smile.
“No, no, no, no!” she protested, but not in time. I snapped the reigns, and the horse ran. She laughed, holding on tightly. “Too fast!” I shook my head. She gripped my shoulders. My cape flapped as we sped by. She latched on to me.
“Never!” I laughed. “One day, you and I will ride on the steeds of Asgard! Much, much faster.” She held on more fondly at the mention of One day. Perhaps she felt the same way that I did. She rested her head on my shoulder.
“You make it sound like I’ll marry you,” she said to me, her breath tickling my ear. She kissed my earlobe. I gave her a cheeky grin.
“Nothing is stopping you!” I laugh. She turned that dark, blushy color. I beamed. “If I proposed right now, what would you do?”
“I haven’t heard one, so we’ll never know,” she replied. It was my turn to go red. I reigned in the horse, slowing us down. I slid off again, an idea coming to my brain. “Loki?”
“If I proposed right now, what would you do?” I asked again, serious instead of joking. She swallowed. Her thoughts were clear to me. What if this is a joke? Would he laugh if I told him I’d say yes? My heart beat rapidly. She would say yes?
“What would you do?” I ask again, desperate to hear the words from her mouth.
“I would say yes,” she starts, seeing my my face light up. “But I’d tell you I would want to hear you say how you feel about me first”—she slid off, too, into my arms—“get down on one knee”—(Y/N) wrapped her arms around my neck—“and pledge your heart to me like a fairytale bad boy prince.” She smirked at me.
I took her hands. I sunk to one knee. “(Y/N),” I start, doing exactly as she said, “I love you. I promise you my heart for as long as I live. I’d kill, as well as save, a planet for you. Will you be my princess, (Y/N)? Will you marry me?” I grinned as she tried hard not to laugh. Though we were both serious, this whole manner was unforgettable.
She looked around at the crowd of people who were watching. She blinked back happy tears. Had I truly made her cry? She took a deep breath, trying to speak, but ended up laughing and sobbing. She just nodded. “Yeah.”
I kiss her hands. “I don’t have a ring but—” I try to say, but she stopped me.
“The horns,” she joked. “Engagement crown.” She giggled, pulling me up. I wipe her eyes. She kissed me, standing on her toes. “How about this? It’s semi-official until you get a ring.”
“Excellent,” I agree. “Engaged to be engaged.” I kissed her forehead. “We only have so long, princess. Let’s hurry.” I lift her back onto the horse, following suite.
“Where did you get this idea?” she questioned, obviously about her birthday. “Why did you decide to do it this way?” I brought our horse into the gateway of the park as I thought about my answer.
“Nat said something about almost every little girl wanting to have a prince at least once. I kind of became obsessed with making a point.” I cleared my throat. “It was truly just a dare, though,” I lie. She nodded.
“Suuuure. And the silver?” she asked, kissing my neck. Was she distracting on purpose now?
“Just our colors, love. Silver and gold. Green to match.” I kissed her hand, getting down, and helping her as well. “I’ll park the horse.”
***
Your POV
I was still in the same outfit as before by the time we walked into the party. (It seemed there was no way of escaping it after all.) Tony walked in, beaming at Loki and I.
“You dressed up the birthday girl?” he asked, looking me over. Loki stood a little closer. It made me uneasy to be the very center of attention.
“Indeed. I also took her for a ride around the city.” Loki wrapped his arm around me. I felt my cheeks warm again. He kissed one of them before whispering something into Tony’s ear. His eyes widened.
“You—?” Loki nodded, cutting him off.
Tony quickly turned his focus on me, putting a box in my hand, pulling me by my other. “Come on, kid. I have everyone here now, so I need you to be the the guest of honor like you’re supposed to.” He drug me out to the living room where the other Avengers were, along with a mountain of presents. I swallowed. I looked behind me.
Loki didn’t follow. I frowned. I tried to look farther, but Tony turned me back to facing forward. “So how’s Reindeer Games?” Tony mutters, smiling. I flushed.
“He’s fine,” I squeaked. He led me over to the huge group of people. I moved as slowly as I could. “Tony did you really have to do this?” I whisper furiously.
“Yes,” he said. “Now go have fun.” An element was off, like he was hiding something. I vaguely wondered what it was. Was it what Loki said to him?
----
“Open the next one,” Nat said happily. A book, definitely. From Nat and Clint. Okay. I ripped the paper. I grinned, against my own morals about books. Bruce had gotten me a necklace. Tony had bought me a dress. Thor made me a knife.
“Romeo and Juliet?” I gasped. “Thank you!” I set it on the other presents I got. I looked behind me. I had heard a sound. “Does anyone know where Loki went?”
“NO.” Tony said that way too fast. I narrow my eyes. Thor was coughing on his coffee. Something was definitely up. The others looked at the two. I blindly accepted the next present from Nat’s hands, my eyes never leaving Iron Man and the God of Thunder.
“Okayyy . . . ,” I said. “Who is this from?” I was told by Sam.
We spent maybe another two hours doing presents before Loki walked in. He seemed nervous. I smiled at him as he sat down. My lover wrapped his arms around me. “Sorry for the delay. I had some business to take care of, princess.”
***Hours Later***
Loki POV
“Loki!” (Y/N) whined with happiness. “I said no more gifts.” She hung onto me. I chuckled, kissing her happy face. I tickle her back with my fingers. It had been several hours since we left the party, even more since we left the park. I had made sure not to ruin her lovely face before as I kissed it all over.
“Well, this one can slip by your order, my love,” I tell her. She sighed.
“Fine,” she spat. She snuggled into my bare blue chest, pulling up the blanket, peeking up at me. I smiled softly, tucking her hair out of her face. “What is it?” she asked, narrowing her eyes.
“Well, while Tony and Thor kept you busy, I went back to Asgard for an hour or so and was able to get my mother’s ring, and—”
“You what?” She sat up, eyes wide. I was afraid I had upset her. She covered her mouth in shock. “Your mother’s?” I nodded slowly.
“Yes,” I whisper, easing her back down. “It was the only thing I could think of that would be worthy for you.” She wrapped her arms around my neck lovingly, suddenly. I made a noise of surprise.
“Oh, Loki!” she cried, kissing my face. I kissed back, rolling on to my side. She kisses me so passionately.
“Would you like to see it?” I ask. She nodded. I took it out. She gaped.
“Loki, it’s beautiful,” she whispers. I slipped it on her finger.
“I love you,” I say.
“You’re my Prince Charming,” she giggled.

Hey, I think you said that you ship JayTim? (If it’s not you I apologise). So what about Marinette x Jason x Tim for the soulmate prompt and maybe body swapping? So they’re aware of each other even if they haven’t met yet.
I so ship it, it’s not even funny.
They swapped when Marinette turned eighteen. The girl had gone to sleep nervous, hoping that it would work out for her, but also scared it wouldn’t. She knew it wasn’t uncommon for a soulmate to be younger, for it to not happen... but after all the bullshit she dealt with- Lila and her lies, her sneering voice every five seconds- she was scared. Not to mention she was Ladybug. The swap lasted a full day- her soulmate might have to fight.
She was scared, she was nervous.
And then it happened.
She woke up in a to big body, covered in scars. The room she was in was filled with weapons and she was terrified at first her soulmate was a criminal until she saw the helmet.
She knew that helmet- Red Hood.
“Oh fuck me.” she breathed out loud. “Red Hood is in my fucking body.”
“Jeez, thanks Tim.” a voice said from behind her and she turned around, eyes wide to see a lean guy behind her, looking like he just came in the window, wearing the Red Robin suit. “Shit, why the hell did this have to happen today? I have like three drug-”
“I’m not this Tim. I’m Marinette.” Marinette told him. Red Robin- or Red Hood apparently- froze.
“...Well, fuck. Uhhh... Hi, I’m Jason and you’re in my body holy shit. Wow, we run the risk-”
“I’m Ladybug, hero of Paris.” Marinette shrugged, feeling awkward doing so. “I get it.”
“...Damn. Hope Timbers is having fun there.” Jason seemed amused.
-0-
Tim was not having fun.
His birthday was the same day as his soulmate’s it appeared and he was pleased by it... until he was face to face with a red bug thing and learned, hey his soulmate was Ladybug and he may have to suit up to fight off evil.
And of course, he fucking had to.
“This is not how I thought my day would go.” Tim said to Tikki.
“Sorry.” Tikki shrugged. Tim sighed and said the words, suiting up. The costume was different from normal, but he didn’t notice until Chat Noir showed up.
“My lady!” the cat hero said, looking surprised. “What’s with the new outfit... why is there a cape?”
“...I’m Ladybug’s soulmate,” Tim said after a moment, not really caring. Other heroes had said similar things before- or their soulmates had while trying to control their bodies and fight. “Red Robin- this is what I usually wear.” With that, he swung into action while the cat hero froze behind him. Tim barely noticed, having distracted the Akuma with his words enough to destroy the item and then take off.
Around Paris people were in shock that Chat Noir and Ladybug hadn’t swapped. Everyone had been expecting it, they’d been excited to see it. But... it hadn’t happened.
It...
-0-
When Jason ended up in Marinette’s body- informing her parents she had two soulmates and one did like to bake, which Tom was happy about- Tim was shocked, and secretly happy, to be in Jason’s body. He and Marinette discussed ways to be able to help each other out- and even trying to find out if she could come to Gotham and go to school but use the Horse to go back to Paris often enough.
Of course, then Marinette in Tim’s body noticed the news about how there was an Akuma in Paris that Red Hood as Ladybug was fighting, a shipper who was very upset that her ship wasn’t real.
“WE’RE REAL *BEEP* PEOPLE! DON’T *BEEP* SHIP US IT’S CREEPY YOU *BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP.”
“...Wow, I have so much damage control to do.”

wip: step into the darkness
Marianne is seven when her parents begin to act strange around. She remembers it all so clearly, as if a sculptor had etched it into her mind with a pick and hammer.
It is just a few days before the Red Wolf Moon’s death, and three days before her birthday. Their little cottage in the woods of a distant part of Leicester begin to grow colder, as if the winds from Faerghus are blowing directly in upon their home.
Her mother, whom her father says is her mirror image, hurries about the small, cold cottage. Not in her usual way that looks hurried, but in reality is quite calm and measured. From her spot in the living room, by the warm fire, she watches as her mother traces the kitchen quickly, her apron wading in the cold air.
She opens her mouth to speak, but she knows much better than to open it. Something inside her—a voice, an instinct perhaps—tells her not to. Her lips shut as she sits on the rug and stares into the fire. The book of fairytales and legends at her feet, which her father had promised to read her when he got back, stares up at her, begging to be read.
He promised that the trip would only be a few days, not much longer than two. He promised that he would come back with game. He promised, with his darkened eyes and deep voice, that he’d carve her a wooden figure of Seiros with his own two hands for her birthday.
She remembers the curl in his lip when he said the goddess’s name. Like it was burning him alive: sear-rows. A child remembers disgust clearly.
It’s been five days. Her father isn’t back, and her mother is beginning to let her worry show.
Marianne has seen this happen before. Back when she was only four. Her father went missing for three days, out into the woods, and when he came back, it was on the arm of a green-haired knight of Seiros. He had slept in bed for days, couldn’t look at anyone or anything; and he was sick.
And when Marianne had the courage to ask her mother what was wrong with her father, she had only said her father had taken ill.
That was always the excuse: Papa is ill. Father is sickly today. It is best not to bother Papa; he is ill.
Always a reason to leave him be. Some days she felt like she was being spectated upon. She would catch that look in his eyes sometimes: like he didn’t recognize Marianne or her mother; or like he was sorry for them.
The cottage feels cold, though it is snug and the fire is burning hot. Her Mother eventually calls her into the kitchen for dinner—Gautier stew. One of the neighbours brought some cheese and fowl. They always do when Papa disappears.
Mother says it’s just what good neighbours do, but Marianne can’t help but feel that they do it out of pity.
***
Another day passes without father. The cock crows for the dawn and Marianne wakes. Snow blankets outside, for their little cottage is incredibly close to Faerghus.
She’s been sleeping in the same bed as her mother since her father left. It happens often. Having another body in the bed brings her Mother a little sense of comfort, a little safety. And while Marianne is young, she knows the look of woe and sadness well, for her mother wears it often.
Her mother is only 28, but she looks as though she’s past middle age sometimes. Usually when her father is missing she looks like that; but when Marianne’s father is about, she looks so young, like a young girl, who is much too young to have a child of seven years.
Her father however, always looks gruff and tired, like an old billy goat. His dark hair spills out over his face, and a beard that grows in around his chin. Dark eyes too, not quite beady like a goat’s, but more like the ocean that they can see from the top of the church hill. The sea always looks black in the winter.
Her mother wakes before her, gently stirs her once, twice, for there is not a cruel bone in that woman’s body. Some around here say that she is a true daughter of Seiros, kind and just. Others say that she is like an angel from another land.
Marianne doesn’t know which to believe.
They say their morning prayers to the Goddess from the side of the straw bed. Holiness, religion, was born right into Marianne. Her Mother was a sister of Seiros, who served at the monastery in the heart of Fódlan. She doesn’t talk much about those days, she doesn’t talk much about herself. But what she does not speak of herself, she makes it up with talk of the Goddess and her saints and Seiros. Before bed, her mother tells her stories of Saint Macuil, Saint Indech, Saint Cichol and his daughter Cethleann, and of course, Saint Seiros. She speaks of them with such passion, such brightness, that her eyes sparkle as she talks.
Sometimes, if the mood is correct, and if her Mother is willing, she will sing to Marianne. She has the sweetness of all the honey in the land and the tone of the finest songbirds in her voice. She could have been a songstress, easily, yet she is a sister of the faith, a humble cleric. And Marianne isn’t sure why, but she is sure that her Mother has the finest voice in all of Fódlan. But she understands why her Mother is called Silque; for her voice is as smooth and as rich as the fabric.
Prayers pass in silence, both praying for the return of Silque’s lover and Marianne’s father.
They dress and Marianne sits still as her mother combs her hair and braids it into a crown about her head. While she works, she hums. Somedays, they’re happy songs. Other days they are mourning songs. Today it is just a melody from a lullaby that she sang to Marianne when she was just a babe.
(She always sings that when her father is missing. It is a comfort to the both of them.)
They share breakfast; day-old bread and cheese, tea for Silque, milk for Marianne. Marianne eats everything while Silque only prods her food. Marianne does not say anything, knowing that any reproach would upset her mother further. Instead, Silque stares out the window, her eyes searching the snowy hillside for the familiar look of her lover and her child’s father.
Before the sun has even risen, they are out the door and walking up the hillside to the church at the top. There, Marianne’s mother works while the little girl watches or sits out back.
As they walk up the hill, they can see the queue of sick that that lines outside the church; Silque’s patients for the day. She breathes a sigh as she enters the church. Marianne sits in the pews, listening to the hacking coughs and sneezes of the sick.
This has been her life for the last few years. When father is around, she will stay with him and sit while he works. He is a carpenter; building many houses in the area, cribs, bassinets, bed frames, tables and chairs, dressers, armoires and desks; most everything is crafted by his rough hands. And when the bandits get bad, he is a military leader.
Marianne remembers seeing the glinting gold of a helmet and armour, the lush reds and blues of a cape long since worn; the silks of a bishop’s gown and the markings of Seiros upon them. She does not know now, but in ten years’ time, she will come to understand that her parents were not just a carpenter and a cleric, but a bishop and a bow knight in former lives, ones long since forgotten.
The orphans of the church don’t speak to her much. She keeps to herself, reading her old book of fairytales or praying like her Mother would. Sometimes she helps with washing clothes and sewing, other days she does not. One of the children asks what she wants for her birthday—her Mother has said she is going to be eight in two days’s time. She lies and says that she wants a new book from town.
In truth, she only wants her father to come home, and her mother to smile without forcing it.
At lunch, Marianne’s mother allows her to go outside and play. “But,” her soft voice rings out with a sense of sternness. “Do not go past the courtyard. I need to be able to see you.”
“Yes Mother.” She promises. She shrugs on her cloak and steps out the back of the church. She paces the little courtyard a few times, watching as birds and squirrels come to visit her.
She sits down in the snow, her blue dress circling about her. As her father taught her, with his old horse, she stays as still as a statue. Her eyelashes don’t even flutter after she’s shut them. To the observer, she looks as though she is a young princess, with an air of regality and serenity that only the bluest of blood can attain.
The sounds of the nearby forest grow louder. She can hear cardinals cry out, some robins who are looking for food. The rattle of an annoyed chipmunk, the crunch of snow.
She stays like that for a while. Then, slowly, she opens her eyes. In the snow before her is a little bird with a soft coat. She doesn’t dare move, but instead flutters her lashes in a hello.
It greets her back. Why are you still here?
My mother is working in the church.
You need to move little miss.
Why so? Marianne asks, slowly moving her eyes up and around the courtyard.
Something is coming. Can you not feel it?
The air has grown colder. It becomes a little harder to breathe. She turns her head and the bird does not move. I can. She tells it.
Is it a wolf?
No, it’s far more sinister. The woods are clear.
The trees rustle. Then as she turns her body, the bird flies away, calling for her to take cover.
From the dark of the woods, Marianne sees a monster stare back at her. Slowly, it moves closer, it’s nose heaving out breaths as she stays stock still.
In her mind she tries to speak to the monster, her hands curling around her winter cloak. She stares at the beast, taking in it’s dark scales and sharp fangs, it’s claws that could cut her to bits.
Quietly, as if the world has gone silent, she hears it speak.
Fear the beast inside of you Marianne.
Her eyes widen in horror and she stops breathing, fainting in the snow. When she wakes, the beast is gone and she is left shaking. She catches her breath, looking wildly around her for the monster who warned her. Then she begins to worry; what is the beast inside? Of her? Is there a monster underneath her skin.
She steadies her wobbly legs and then returns inside the church. Marianne does not tell her mother of the monster in the courtyard. She remains silent, instead watching as her mother takes patient after patient, never once growing angry or tired.
Someone gives them a bit of fish for dinner, as thanks to Silque for her healing. She promises to make two fish stew with it when they get home.
***
There’s a crash outside the cottage. Silque sits up. Then the door opens. Marianne feels her mother move in the bed. She hears the ancient words on her tongue as she begins to recite spells. Marianne pulls the blankets closer to her, up against her willowy frame as she watches her mother etch out of the room and into the main atrium of the house.
Her mother’s shoulders sag, as if relief has finally weighed down upon her shoulders. Her hands drop to her sides as the sounds of boots against wooden floors grows louder.
“I’m home, Silque.”
Marianne knows that voice. She stumbles out of bed, watching as her father stands stock still. Her mother holds him tight, sobbing prayers to the goddess that he has finally returned home.
And when Marianne catches his eyes, she sees the monster from the forest.
***
Marianne is tucked back into her parents’ bed. She knows that she will not sleep in her own bed tonight; nor will her parents use theirs. They will stay up talking like they always do when he comes home after a long time away.
She lays in their bed and hears the bits of their conversation over and over again.
“Was it your...”
“Yeah. I’m sorry.”
“You cannot control it, why should you be?”
“It’s her birthday soon, you two must have been worried.”
“We were not losing sleep... Or that much.”
“Has she... been acting strange?”
“What do you mean?”
“You know what I mean Silque.” She can hear his voice loud and clear. Her father has never been a quiet man. “Is she showin’ the signs?”
“Of... Of Maurice?”
“Yeah. Suppose I mean him.”
Marianne sits up in bed, she swings her legs over the side and lets her feet meet the ground. Through the crack of the door, she can see her parents sitting at the hearth. Her mother reaches for his face.
“She carries my blood after all.”
“Do not treat it as a curse. She will not die—“
“You can’t know for sure, Silque.”
“I know Seiros’s gospel like the backs of my hands. She never said that Maurice was damned.
“Only that he is the Beast and hated by everyone.”
Marianne takes a step back. The floorboards creak loudly. She sees her father’s head turn to the door, staring at her through the crack. In his eyes, she sees the beast that stared at her in the woods. Her heart stops and she back barrels into the bed, climbing inside and pulling the quilt to her neck.
She clasps her hands together, and falls asleep praying to Seiros.
***
Silque clings to her lover tightly, as if he will disappear before her very eyes. She would rather die than let that happen again.
She does not see the look of terror in Marianne’s eyes. Instead, she looks up at her lover, who has been gone for upwards of a week. She breathes a prayer to the goddess before he sidesteps past her and kneels before their daughter.
“Have you been good for Ma, kid?” He asks.
Silque cannot think of anything aside from the fact that he is home. Before she knows it, Marianne is tucked back into bed and they sit before the burning hearth. She prepares him a meal and readies hot water to clean him. His face is marked bloody with brushes from the bush and dirt and soot.
It pains her to not know where he has been.
“Was it your...” She cannot finish the word. He doesn’t speak the name of it at all. The Crest of Maurice, the Crest of the Beast.
He nods. “Yeah. Sorry.”
“You cannot control it, why should you be?”
“It’s her birthday soon, you two must have been worried.” He says. He can’t bring himself to look at her.
“We were not losing sleep...” Silque lies, the sin weighing on her stomach. She turns to the little bowl of hot water. “Or that much.”
“Has she been actin’ strange?”
Silque stares at him. “What do you mean?”
“You know what I mean, Silque.” His eyes meet hers. Suddenly, it’s very clear that there is a beast beneath the surface of his skin. “Is she showin’ the signs?”
“Of... Of Maurice?”
“Yeah. That bastard. She carries my blood after all.”
Silque reaches for his face, her dropping the cloth into the bowl. She holds the frame of his face in her cracked hands. “Do not treat it as a curse. She will not die—“
His gaze sears hers. “You can’t know for sure, Silque.”
“I know Seiros’s gospel like the backs of my hands. She never said that Maurice was damned.” Silque pleads.
“Only that he is the Beast and hated by everyone.”
The creak of floorboards turns his head. Silque ignores it. Their little cottage is old, and the sound of settling is well-known to her. She has heard it so many time when she laid awake in bed, waiting for him to return home.
“He is not hated by me.” Silque assures her lover.
He blinks slowly as she swallows. “Who housed you this time? Was it a do gooder or the woods?” She tries to make a lighthearted joke. “It looks like you made a home in a rosebush, darling.”
“Lukas housed me again, sweetness.”
Her eyes lift to his. There are dark circles below his eyes, bags from a lack of sleep. She turns to get the cloth and dips it into the water and rings it out once, twice before brushing it against his dirty cheek.
“I should ensure to thank him with some kind prayers and fruit preserves.”
“Certain he’d like that.” He says holding his gaze.
“Did he...” The words will not leave her tongue at first. She steels herself, then forces it out like the smiles she’s been forcing since he disappeared. “Did he see you as a beast?”
He scoffs a little bit before dipping his head in a nod. He sighs. “He found me while he was on a hunting trip in his county. Called me out of it with your song.”
Any frustration and anger washes away from Silque with those last three words. She blushes a little, turning her cheek as she dips the cloth into the water. “I am glad it still brings you peace.”
“It’s because it reminds me of you.”
She burns as red as the fire and turns back to him to wash away the dirt and cuts. She could use her white magic on him, but a little selfish part of her likes to use first aid. There’s a tenderness in it. A softness that makes her heart warm and makes her blush; it dulls the ache and sadness that has follow her since he left.
“I should hope so. It is what brought us together after all.”
He shuts his eyes for a second and nods, as if revelling in the memory. She won’t lie to anyone, most of all herself: she thinks of it often. Of when she was only a sister in the monastery, where she stood in the Cathedral light and sang a song of her own composition, her own lyrics and her own heart.
When she heard him call out from the shadows, and when she took her first step into the darkness.
“Lukas’s lands are far north. Near the coast. How did you make it so far?” She finds herself asking as she cleans his face.
The silence between them speaks volumes. He must have blacked out and forgotten until Lukas brought him to with her song. The sweetness in her heart begins to bitter, eating at her core as she looks down to his hands and stares at the cuts and bruises upon them.
“The Beast took over.” He says at last. “Couldn’t stop it.”
“I see.”
“Somedays I think it would be better if I just got the Crest removed. Paid someone in the Empire to take it out of my blood or whatever they do.” He mumbles. “If they can put them in, they should be able to remove them, yeah? It shouldn’t be that—”
“I could not bear to lose you my love.”
He meets her gaze. Her eyes begin to water with tears. She realizes that it has been almost an hour since they began talking, an hour since they sent Marianne to bed with both her parents, an hour since he came home.
“Still. You shouldn’t have to put up with this bullshit.”
“I am not putting up with anything. Your Crest is apart of you, and I would not have you remove it, even if there was no threat at all.” She leans a little closer to him. He reaches out slowly to touch her cheek. She melts into his palm. “You are my only love, Python.”
He lifts his gaze to her. Slowly, Silque draws closer to steal a kiss, pulling herself into his lap. Python’s head meets the crook of her shoulder. His heat begins to warm her cold body.
“You certain she ain’t showin’ anything? No fits, no starts? No anger? Wanderin’?” His voice reverberates throughout her body, shaking to her core.
“Nothing, Python. I swear she isn’t.” She whispers in a solemn promise. “She is the survivour of the curse. She is exempt, saved from it, by Sothis’s grace.”
And for a moment, Python believes his lover’s fallacies, her blind devotion, her bittersweet promises.

Viktor on Yuri On Ice part 3 (ft. Henry and Uri)
It’s back! The continuation to my friend’s stupid comment collection that nobody asked for!
I figured, since I do still have all the comments up to episode 10 recorded, I might as well use them, even if I did say I wouldn’t unless someone requested it. Sorry, guys, I lied. So here is episodes 5 and 6. This time we were joined by Uri and his best friend. Enjoy the stupidity!
“Is the opening more colourful or am I being paranoid?” “Beautiful. Truly beautiful.”
*Reading caption aloud* “Let’s send the power of sports through Japan-” *Yuuri starts talking* “FUCK IT”
About Minami “He is both a fangirl and a lion. We have a sexy tiger and a fangirl lion. I love it.”
“Lion boy is hot for Yuuri.”
“I don’t trust Victor. I think he and his haunted tissue box are going to do things.”
“I don’t get where Minami got ‘mocking’ from but I guess a human-lion hybrid people see things different to normal people.”
“Lion boy is adorable and I want one! Oh my god! Henry, buy me a lion boy for my birthday! Pleeeeaaaase!”
“I cry because lion boy stole my heart.”
*Horrified squeak when Minami falls*
“Minami is so in love with that man. But that is Victor’s man so all is lost.”
“That lady chick just jumping up and down looks weird. Like she’s on springs or pogo sticks or is riding a horse. Or something else I should not say.”
“Yuuri has brain died. Nosebleed and rejection have killed him.”
About Minako: “Her eyes are grey eggs. I do not like grey eggs.”
“YUURI DOESN’T REMEMBER. HE’S CONCUSSED. WEEOO WEEOO WEOO, BRING THE HOSPITAL CAR!”
“Blond Yuri! Yay!”
“Imagine if his phone had gone through that window and smashed through and went out to the street and hit a person and killed them.”
About a symbol on Yuuri’s theme card thing: “Is that the firefox thing? Is he firefox?”
“My theme is full frontal nudity from grey-haired people with little doodles.”
“Why does that guy look so shocked? He is looking at Yuuri’s butt. What’s wrong with the butt? And she is looking at his crotch. What?”
“Those raised chairs do not look good to sit on. You have to try hard to get on them and then you look floaty and you get height scare sickness. Vomit and sadness everywhere.”
At the next episode preview: “...This isn’t the ending theme...”
Uri: “You know what I think? I think the next season should introduce a new character. Named Uri. Spelled U-R-I. Because then they have three Yuri’s with different spellings who are all on the ice, and it’ll be fun and confusing and everything needs more yuri’s.”
About the opening: “It IS getting more colourful! Was that flag there before? I will be vomiting rainbow by the end of this.”
*Pauses video so a yellow light effect was over Victor’s hand* “...VICTOR IS A SUPER HERO, HE HAS SUPER HERO POWERS!”
“That flag was green a second ago.”
Still about opening theme colours: “Rhubarb and custard!”
“Somebody get rid of those demon children. I want to kick them.”
“Look how cute those two with the red flags are! And the little one [Guang Hong] looks drunk! Aww!”
“Is that a flower or a painting brush?”
“Yuri looks like he’s about to go to war. All he needs is one of those coloured knight swords. I forget the word.”
“Is he holding a motorbike helmet?”
“Is that a cape or sleeve?”
“It’s really unprofessional to walk behind the interview.”
About Georgi: “Professor Utonium?! Is that you?!”
“Leo looks like he is forever about to sneeze.”
About Georgi: “My god his voice is deep. Get him helium. And a powerpuff girl.”
Upon seeing Victor naked again: “OH GOD, VICTOR!”
“Sexy Tiger Man has rabies.”
“These boys are scarred for life. Save them.”
To Christophe: “NO TOUCHING NO-...ooh, it’s you. I like you.”
“Are these women saying mean things about Yuuri to his future husband’s face? Punch them.”
Viktor: “Is that a monster on that board?” Henry: “I think it’s a shield.” Viktor: “Kill it anyway.”
About the ‘Shall We Skate?’ Sequence: “I don’t know what this is but I love it!”
*Clapping* “It is against the law to not clap to this. EVERYONE CLAP.”
“His outfit is so tight on the butt! Why am I noticing that?”
Viktor: “That was a car! Why is there a car by the stadium side?” Uri: “Winner’s prize.” Viktor: “Give it to Phichit.”
Me: “It’s not a shield or a monster, it’s a dancing lady.” Henry: “A figure skating lady.” Viktor: “Kill it anyway.”
“Yuuri, Victor’s telling you you’re sexy. Embrace the sex.”
“Did somebody just throw a toy dog on the...?”
About Georgi: “He looks like a Goth duck. I swear I have seen that as a bad guy on a cartoon somewhere.”
“My god, man, get over it. Oh god. Oh god. Dear god. What the fuck am I watching?” *Laughter*
About Guang Hong: “Does he have a crush on Leo? Is that why really he was blushing like a drunk before?”
About Christophe’s coach: “Is that Matt Lucas?”
“I’m getting a lot of screen in my ass face and I’m- WAIT NO THAT’S WRONG!” *After being laughed at and going bright red* “What I meant was I’m seeing a lot of s- ass in my screen face and I don’t dislike the amount of ass in my face!”
Viktor: “The important thing is that today I made new friends! Most of all Uri! Hello Uri!” Uri: “We’re not friends and I don’t like you.” Viktor: “We’re best friends! I love Uri!”

Help! Accident on motorcycle with no insurance.?
I was recently involved in an accident on my motorcycle with a Hertz rental car. I purchased the bike 9 days before the accident and was planning on adding the motorcycle to my car insurance policy. No one was hurt in the accident but a police report was filled out at the request of the rental company. I was wondering if insurance companies possibly have some kind of grace period for accidents a certain number of days before the policy is added, or if need be, transferred to the motorcycle.

Honda CBR 125r... Insurance price for a 17 year old?
(UK!) I'm really interested in motorbikes, and in 18 months - the painful wait - I am looking at buying my first bike, a Honda CBR 125r. Due to the low horse power of the bike, I can ride it with just a CBT after my 17th birthday if I'm not mistaken, which will reduce my costs as I won't need to take lessons and a test. With leathers, helmet, boots, gloves, CBT, as well as the bike, I worked out I would need to save at least 2200... However, I have no idea what insurance would be. I understand insurance prices fluctuate according to location etc, but I have no idea at all. So even a completely rough estimate, even if it could be out by 150 would be useful. Thank you for reading, hope you can help. :-)""

in the beginning of feb my dad passed away so i they dropped coverage on 2/28. i get health insurance through my employer but it isn't good. can i still apply online for individual health insurance even though i can get insurance through my employer? i plan on quitting in two months so i figure it would save me the hassle if i get individual health care now. i have asthma and need medicine regularly/monthly. i'm planning on going on vacation in the summer and then when i get back, i plan to get a job with health benefits, so i would only need insurance until then. would that be considered short term (now-august/september)? does the price differ from short term and long term health insurance? i was looking up some plans online and i was thinking of applying for this one. http://www.ehealthinsurance.com/ehi/ifp/plan-details?planKey=3002:200067&productLine=IFP&noSelectedPlan=true&ifpUIState.planDetailsBackUrl=/ifp/all-plans so what this means is that i pay 115 dollars a month and since there is no separate prescription deductible, i can buy my prescriptions which is tier 2/3 for the copay only. also there is a 2500 maximum out of pocket for my part. right? and is this a good plan for me? im 22 and dont smoke/drink and live in georgia, my only health concern is that i have asthma. can they reject my application because i have asthma and that's a pre-existing condition? and when i get a job with health benefits i can just cancel this or is there a contract that states i have to be with them for a certain amount of time? thank you very much for your time!""

Can an insurance company drop your auto insurance any time?
I have had 3 claims in 4 years. The first two claims where while living in another state. I since moved and just put in my third claim today (first claim with this company). My insurance payment really isn't all that high, about $75 monthly. The lady told me today that it would go up 10% if the cost was over $750. (it will be) She said this didn't effect my insurability or anything, but what if I had another accident in a year??

Do car rental companies ask for proof of insurance?
Here's my circumstances, I'm 22(have credit card in my name) and am going to rent a vehicle. I had insurance for 4-5 years, have never been at an at fault accident and have one speeding ticket, so I'm a pretty good driver, when gas was near $4.00 I traded in my vehicle, and it's fine as I bike everywhere as it's all close to me. I'm having family over for a couple days and need a car though, it's easy to drive around town, I'm almost 100% sure I wont get in a wreck, but I have a feeling the insurance would be more expensive than the rental itself which is ridiculous for someone with a driving record such as mine. Can I say purchase just liability and then sign something that says I'll pay for the rental if I do any damages, what would be the cheapest way to get out of this?""
Insurance company and liability coverage on a leased car?
My sister is leasing a car and she changed insurance company last month. Don't know how this insurance Company gave her liability on a car that's not her's but they did it. She said they didn't even ask if she was leasing and when she asked how but full coverage was she said it would be to much. So lets just get this one. Now she just got into and accident on xmas day and her car is damage badly. The insurance people said they cant do anything with her car because of the coverage but I think that's not fair because she is still leasing on that car. What can be done can she sue the company on is it just her lost.

My insurance company doesnt want to pay!!?
I was struck by an uninsured driver on 02-10-11. Because the driver who struck me was uninsured I was forced to file a claim with my insurance company(Omni Insurance). The car was towed to CJ's collision at 6128 n beechwood Philadelphia, pa ,19138 on 02-11-11. Phone number 215-848-2836. On 02-14-11 Omni insurance sent out an appraiser to evaluate the vehicle. They then faxed an estimate on 02-15-11 totaling $5300 to CJ's collision shop. I went to the collision shop on 02-15-11 to sign paperwork giving them permission to work on my car. They then began the repairs. On 02-18-11 the insurance company then deemed my car a total loss. The vehicle is a 2005 Nissan Altima SL with 96,477 miles. The NADA value for the vehicle is 10,995. According to Omni insurance a car is deemed a total loss when the repairs reach 70% of the value of the vehicle. Omni insurance valued my car at 7,415. They then proposed a settlement offer of 5826.40. They deducted 975.00 in prior damages(which I disagree with) and 1000.00 my deductible. The settlement offer included 386.40 in sales tax. After negotiating on 02-28-11 they proposed an offer of 7835.30. The value they gave my car was 9255. Again 975.00 was deducted and my 1000.00 deductible. They including sales tax and tags/registration fee in the offer. I accepted the offer out of desperation because they also stopped paying for the rental car I was driving on 02-28-11. I work, attend school and have a child my schedule requires that I have a car so I paid out of pocket for a rental car until 03-07-11, expecting the payment to be issued to my lien holder by then so I could purchase another car. I contacted them on 03-07-11 inquiring about my payment and was informed they did not pick the vehicle up from the collision shop therefore they were not issuing a payment. The collision shop gave them a bill of 1750.00 for the repairs they did and the storage fees. The insurance company disagrees with this and refuses to pick the vehicle up and issue my payment. They have also stated this may come out of my settlement offer. The insurance company already has the title to the car and all the necessary paperwork to the vehicle but refuses to issue a payment. It has been a month since I filed my claim and I can no longer afford to pay for a rental especially since it seems I will have to purchase a new vehicle. The insurance company is low balling me and also forcing me to pay for repairs they approved then backed out of.""

""What would you do, get the used car or new one?""
Okay so ever since years ago I've known that my grandpa has an account for me and his other grand kids for our first car. There is a limit. Now, I went out and picked out the car I wanted. A 2009 Toyota Corolla. Which I can pick any car, new or used as long as it is below the spending limit. (mine is that I picked) But my aunt, (Who is in charge of the money sorta, but will let me get what I want cuz she has no say) Is trying to convince me to get a used car and spend like max 5,000 on it. Her friend's son's friend is selling his car for 1,000. it has 200,000 miles on it and looks like a piece of crud. Needs new tires.. all that stuff. She thinks I should get this car or another used car because mostly all teens get in an accident when they first start driving (I am 18) but so what? Even if I get in an accident in a new of used car, thats what insurance is for! And I got quotes already on my new car how much it would be, It wont be in my name either because it'll be wayy more. So my quesiton is: Would you spend the full amount on the car you want now? Or waste 5grand (or less) on a crap car that will mostly suck away the money from that account (if something happens cuz its so old) She says that in a year or so I can still get the car I want. (I would have enough money) But thats not the point.. I don't see wasting 5grand on a car. And it would be wasting. What do you think? Whats should I do and how can I say no to her idea thanks :)""

Avatar: Tales from the Empire, Book 1, Chapter 1
Avatar: Tales from the Empire
Book 1: Service
Chapter 1: The Frontier
By Talesofficial
Kasei
Fire, Air, Water, Earth
[Images of Kasei, Fong, Kat, and Diqu bending their respective Elements are shown.]
46 Years ago, Avatar Korra brought balance to the world be reopening the spirit gates between our realm, and the Spirit World. 30 years past, and a new threat arose, the person calling themselves “The Concordate”
[Scenes of the Prosperity under Korra shown, children playing with spirits, many spirit powered machines, only to become over shadowed by a hooded figure with glowing red eyes blazing from underneath the hood itself]
Avatar Korra fought the Concordate, but even the Avatar could not compete with the Leader of the “Restorationists.” Using Spirit Bending to close the Spirit Portals again, The Concordate quickly forced the rest of the world’s nations to bend the knee to their new empire. However, a new resistance has risen up, and we can only hope they defeat the enemy
[Shots of a fight between Korra and the Hooded figure, ending with the Hooded figure standing over Korra’s body and the world, before zooming in on an image of another hooded figure, only wearing Earth Kingdom robes, overlooking the ruins of republic city, before panning up to the AVATAR title.]
Scene 1
[We open on a shot of a small earth kingdom farm in a forest of large pine tree’s. The door to the farm house opens to reveal KASEI(17), A fire nation looking girl wearing Earth Kingdom clothes]
Sozi(Kasei’s Mother)
[From inside]
Kasei, watch yourself on the road, your father has seen many wanderer’s on the road and I don’t want you getting hurt.
Kasei
Mother, what is the worst that could happen? No one is going to bother me on the mile to town and if they do I can scare them off with some bending
Sozi
I’m just a bit worried. People moving through these parts usually means the Empire is up to no good again.
Kasei
Mother, I’ll be fine. What’s the worst the Empire could do? Conscript me?
[KASEI laughs to herself as she walks away from the farm house, a basket in her hand. Pulling off of the path to her house, she begins to walk down the main road and past a group of refugees, many of them burned. KASEI looks at them briefly like she wants to help, before continuing on her way. Various shots of Kasei walking down the path, with someone watching her from the woods. Suddenly dropping her basket and sending a jet of flames into the woods, she begins to yell]
Kasei
Who’s there?!
[LING WEI, or LING(16), an Earth Kingdom teenager wearing rougher clothes and a blue headband steps out of the woods, his hands in the air. He has mid length brown hair and brown eyes, with darker skin, suggesting he is from the more southern sections of the former Earth Kingdom, near the desert]
Ling
Whoa there! I didn’t mean any harm, I was just making sure you weren’t Empire. I don’t want any trouble, so can you agree to cool it?
[KASEI lowers her hands, turning her head inquistevly at LING. KASEI’s amber eyes narrow. She brushes her mid-long black hair in a fire nation style off of her face.]
Kasei
Why would you be so on edge about the Empire, They are never around these parts except for the occasional Tax Collector.
Ling
That may have been true, but they put Changshi to the torch this morning and have been riding around the farms questioning people. I just got out of there when the fire started. Rumour has it that there were some rebels hiding around these parts.
[KASEI drops her arms completely now, and glances at the rest of the woods. Looking back at Ling, she picks up her basket]
Kasei
Do you have a place to stay?
Ling
Nope, I was going to head down road to Ruin. I still have a small place in the slums. Still though, it’s not safe to stay in the city for too long.
Kasei
Ruin is two weeks walking from here! Are you really going the whole way?
Ling
It’s not that bad. At least I’m not going to Ba Sing Se or Omashu. Last time I visited those parts there was no work and the Empire controlled everything. I prefer it out here on the frontier.
Kasei
Hey, if it’s going to be that long, why don’t you come have dinner with my family. My father is catching Rabbats and my mom said that she found some noodles in our store room. It should be a real feast.
[LING looks away in a comedic manner, stroking his chin in a style like SOKKA.]
Ling
I could hardly take food from your family, especially in these times
Kasei
Oh-
Ling
-But I accept! Which way do we go?
[Fade to a shot of KASEI and LING nearing her farmhouse, the sun is setting by now and the two are talking and laughing]
SCENE TWO
Ling
So what’s up with that old Fire Nation style you got going on? Most people I meet on the frontier are Earth Kingdom or Water Tribe. Most Fire Nation folks live back in the Islands.
Kasei
Oh, my great-grandmother was from the Fire Nation. She fled here after the Fire war ended and she was scared what the locals would do to her garrison when they found out the war had ended.
Ling
Jeez, does anyone know besides your family?
Kasei
Well yeah, otherwise I wouldn’t be wearing the headband. My grandmother had to use firebending to defend herself when she was younger and because the Republic had taken over by then, the neighbors actually were quite accepting, even fascinated by Firebending.
Ling
Huh, good for them. Hey, at least you know where you are from!
Kasei
Don’t you?
Ling
No, I was raised by an Air Charity in Omashu until I was five. That’s when I ran away for the first time. I made a name for myself on the streets until I fell in with some bad people and had to run. And I’ve pretty much been running ever since.
Kasei
Do you even know how old you are? Or are you just guessing that you were five?
Ling
No, the Charitables (Note: Airbenders who now serve the public under the empire running Hospitals and Orphanages) thought I was around 6 monthes old when they found me. I just consider my birthday the summer solstice to make it easy for me. I’m around 16 and ½ by that reckoning. Just older than the Empire.
Kasei
I’m sorry for you-
[The sound of large animals and steam engines cuts her off as dust gathers in the distance]
Ling
Off the road! Now!
[LING quickly dives into a bush, quickly followed by Kasei. A large band of soldiers wearing a black and white uniform similar to that of the old Republic City Police Force with capes rolls down the path. It’s leader suddenly raises his hand, signaling for them to stop.]
[CAPTAIN LON(30), dismounts his Tiger-horse, and begins to walk around where LING and KASEI stood a few moments before. He pulls a hood off of his head to reveal Airbender Tatoos.]
Lon(to Himself)
I could have sworn I saw someone here…
[LON stares into the woods near where KASEI and LING are hidden, before getting back on his mount and gesturing for the squad to move forward again, before turning onto the road that leads to KASEI’s house]
Kasei
That’s my house!
[KASEI sprints back onto the road and towards the path to her farm]
Ling
No wait!
[LING tries to grab Kasei and hold her back, but fails and ends up sprinting after her.]
[The pair arrive at the farm as several soldiers lead KASEI’s parents out in chains. Her mother SOZI looks very much like an older version of KASEI, wearing Earth Kingdom clothes and a hairstyle like TY LEE. Her father, Lokai, is wearing clothes are more tattered like LING’s and he appears to be Earth Kingdom in origin.]
Lon
Where are the rebels, we know you are hiding them around here somewhere.
Lokai
Even if I knew do you think I would tell you. This is the frontier and I’m a freeman, not some peasant back in the empire.
[LING pulls KASEI into a nearby bush as more soldiers arrive from the nearby woods]
Ling(Whispering)
Do you want to be caught? Lay low and watch.
[Shouting is suddenly heard within the house. Bursts of fire, water and earth are suddenly ejected from the windows. The scuffle continues for a bit as LON watches. Eventually, five men in blue uniforms resembling those of the old Earth Empire are lead out of the house and forced to kneel next to LOKAI and SOZI.]
LON
Well, well, well, what have we here. Haboruing not only rebels, but White Lotis as well? Both of those are executable offenses.
Lokai
Do your worst traitor.
[SOZI notices KASEI and LING hiding in the bushes. She mouthes a single word, “Run”]
Lon
Very Well, Furnaces ready lads!
Ling
Kasei we have to go!
[He grabs KASEI by the collar and begins struggling to pull her away, even as she protests. LOKAI bows his head as tow of the rebels begin to beg for their lives. SOZI mouthes “Goodbye” to KASEI.]
Lon
On my command, Three
[LING continues to pull KASEI away. A soldiers notices them and begins to walk over]
Lon
Two
[KASEI gives in and gets up to go with Ling, the pair begin to run into the woods. The soldier gestures to a few more of his comrades.]
Lon
One, fire at will
[The soldiers put on helmets and masks as several of the wagons they have been towing cover the farm with an ocean of fire. The soldier who noticed LING and KASEI walks over to LON, who then breaks off into the woods with several soldiers on mounts]
Scene 3
[The soldiers are chasing KASEI and LING through the woods as the burning farm illuminates the forest. LON catches up with KASEI and grabs her by the neck, lifting her off the ground]
Lon
Well, what have we here? A little Firebender running from the empi-
[LON is suddenly interrupted by a pillar of earth suddenly impacting with the back of his head. KASEI drops to the ground, looking in shock at LING, who is in a sloppy Earthbending pose.]
Kasei
Since when are you an Earthbender?
Ling(Looking at his hands)
Just now apparently, let’s go!
[The two run off deeper into the woods. Fade to them waking up the next morning apparently in the middle of nowhere.]
KASEI(Grogilly)
Where are we
Ling(yawning)
I’d say on the slopes of that mountain near your house. Mt Yangtai. If it is, I know a place where we can lay low.
[KASEI suddenly grows somber and quiet as she remembers the advice of the previous night. LING moves over to comfort her]
Ling
Hey, I know what your going through
Kasei
YOU HAVE NO IDEA. YOU NEVER EVEN MET YOUR FAMILY. HOW COULD YOU HAVE EVEN THE SLIGHTEST IDEA
Ling
I never met my parents. That doesn’t mean I don’t have a family. Now before I continue telling you my plan to keep us safe, we need a mutual trust ok?
Kasei
MUTUAL TRUST, WHAT DOES TRUST HAVE TO DO WITH THIS?
Ling
I need trust because this is a common but secret escape tactic back in the Empire itself.
Kasei
OH YOU CAN TRUST ME, YOU BETTER IF YOU WANN SATY UNBURNED FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE
[Ling appears to grow nervous and starts rubbing the back of his head]
Ling
Ok, ok, calm down. There’s a temple and a town on the other side of the hill. It currently serves as a training ground for new soldiers in the Frontier Garrison. We join up and lay low for a while until this crazy Airbender that is chasing us decides to move onto juicier areas.
Kasei(calming down now)
Your plan is to hide as soldiers… while being hunted by soldiers?
Ling
Yeah, it sounds dumb but it actually works. Besides, do you have any better ideas?
Kasei(Now looking downtrodden again)
Admittedly no. Fine then, we’ll try your idea. It’s not going to end well though.
Ling
Don’t worry, It’ll work. I’m like a good luck charm. I mean look, I became an Earthbender right when I needed it!
Kasei
You probably already had the ability, you just never used it
Ling
Did not
[Pan up to credits fade as the pair walk towards a distant town, bickering to each other before breaking out laughing]
Sorry about this being in script format. It’s been sitting on my computer for a while and I haven’t had the chance to change it to proper paragraphs. The rest of the chapters will be though, so don’t worry. I’m going to try and upload once a week, criticism is always welcome, as well as questions as a lot of stuff might not be explained in the story straight away.
