(OC Lore and design time!)

(it got longer again ... sorry ... idk how to make things short, i just need to talk, but i guess if you can read the written stuff in the pic thats the barest bare bones of what i wrote here)

i was asked what new lore story stuff i had thought about that made me sad which i mentioned a bit ago, and while that is too hard to explain given all the missing context i thought i could at least talk about lore having to do with it :D

so, (Lord) Eadrya is one of my fav OCs (big blue lad, here a rough sketch in humanoid form) they are both one of if not THE most powerful demon alive and the most battle trained;

at the mid point of the story the demon world gets invaded by the celestials (the angel inspired things i talked about in the previous lore post with Xaror) and Shargon, as the king, should be their first and only frontline, but at this point his life is only being sustained by maschinery after being mortally wounded, he cannot fight (he realizes what is going on, rips himself off the maschinery to get at least his youngest child to safety, barely managing it before dying- the guardian, the demons god, takes over his body to attempt to fight against the celestials but cant keep itself alive long enough since its host is already dead) Eadrya takes the role of the frontline fighter (despite being very full of themselves and aggressive they care about their 'job' of protecting their own, also giving them the chance to show off just how strong they are); the fight was going well for them all things considered, but when the guardian activates it drains the power of all elemental lords (which Eadrya is one of, and since they have the most strength it also takes the most from them), so much so that they lose the fight and suffer deadly wounds (the worst being a spear through the chest made of a material that grows hard, root-like formations when in contact with demonic blood like a fungus but worse, also stopping any self healing processes) after the guardian falls apart it creates a huge shockwave of energy that stuns every living thing within a certain distance and possibly more-

Eadrya (in true demon form, so like a blue whale in size at least) was likely taken through an active gateway to the human world in a large tidal wave also created by the guardians fall; they wash up in the harbor of a small secluded village, the head of which is 'lady 13'; although never having seen a demon before and everyone being afraid (largely thinking its a strange hurt animal, only she suspected otherwise), they still gather all villagers to pull out the celestial spear, which is diffcult and brutal given that its already taken root, but the village lacked both knowledge and means to help any other way- doing so damaged their heart which is how they were able to collect samples of all three demonic blood types ('normal' -red like humans-, energy -essentially purely magic- and heartblood -highly concentrated energy only found within the heart of a demon and the only one to contain genetic material) (this is the start of Eadryas character arc, having to deal with the fact that their world is likely destroyed, them failing what they didnt think they could fail, having lost a battle so badly (even if not really their fault) for the first time and not knowing if literally anyone else has survived .. also being now stuck in the human world, which they dont like)

Lady 13 (placeholder name? stands for experiment 13) is a human that was tricked by demon hunters to enroll into a series of experiments trying to create hybrids of demons and humans, which they hoped would be powerful and easily controllable tools for their endeavours, though the two are inherently not compatible, they tried grafting body parts of demons on humans to make them compatible- all experiments failed except for her, more or less, though she never got to see the hybrid she carried and was then told it had died too, they threw her out believing she wouldnt survive much longer either and all such experiments were cancelled due to the high cost of human life, research material (demons are still rare) and upkeep with no successful results Lady 13 survived though (perhaps even via the pirates picking her up?) and she ended up living in said small village far away, hiding her half demonic body, though most know there soemthing 'wrong' with her (her being this tall when it doesnt fit the rest for one), only few know the full extent; she enjoys the life she has now, perhaps on the more poor side but safer and more loved than ever before; she largely lead the efforts to try and help Eadrya when they ended up in the harbor, though there wasnt that much anyone could do it was still enough- they leave immediately after waking up, but return after really having nowhere to go and struggling to deal with everything that has happened; over time (probably years) they start to open up towards the people there (though not .. very much) enough to get rather close with Lady 13 too- she actually falls madly in love but after Eadrya (extremely aro/ace) rejects all her attempts quite clearly she respects their boundaries

However, after hearing news of potential demon sightings Eadrya decides to leave in hopes of not being the last demon left after all; Lady 13 then decides to reveal her secret to them (though hearing and seeing what lengths hunters would go to for their experiments makes them absolutely seething with rage- she insists on not being out for revenge) and asks if they would be willing to donate a small amount of heartblood; shes always wanted to be a mother but is now incompatible with humans too- through things she picked up back at the experiments facillity, hers and her doctors research she is sure that is all that is needed, she dares to ask since she does not know when, if ever, she will meet another demon, much less one she could actually trust enough for this though Eadrya hesitates (why would she want to go through the same thing again that didnt work and threatened her life, if it does work, do they want to be involved with any of this? what if hunters find out it worked after all?) but after her ensuring that they would have no part in it other than giving up a little blood and would not be considered a parent in any way, nor made responsible for anything that might happen to her, but considering it all in the end they agree to it

only for her to reveal shes had a small bottle of it already, along with multiple samples of the other types, which she collected when Eadrya was bleeding out into the harbor not knowing if they will survive, though not wanting to make use of it without their consent either way (they are actuallly rather touched by this)

alot later the main group returns here and it turns out to have worked (though she is unable to walk/bedridden for a long while bc it did alot of damage to her body, which can heal since its demons parts, but only really slowly bc she does not have a full functioning system and no demonic blood of her own -she uses the other samples for the healing process-) though its a little awkward to explain, especially considering that 13.1 took alot after Eadrya xD (their theory as to why it worked so "well" that time is that even though the sample was already taken, them giving their consent for it still made it less likely to be rejected; demons dont need partners to have offspring, and all can do it, they just have to decide to- so them agreeing to it, even though its long been outside their body, still had an effect on the blood sample)

" just know that i'm always here for you, okay? "

i'm finally finishing up my s2 rewatch and getting to the 24th episode awoke a beast in me. so i wanted to make a fake screenshot based on some of their lore that takes place during that episode. i think they'd end up having a heart-to-heart moment since kuroba went through similar struggles after their grandfather's own hospitalization...

also have a bonus doodle bc i need to even out the balance between serious & goofy with these two.

FFXIV Write Entry #26: The Heron Hike and Hustle

Prompt: zip || Master Post || On AO3 (coming in October)

A/N: Spoilers for the first wing of Pandaemonium.

---

The holding cells of Pandæmonium were damp, scorched, and covered in plant and other organic detritus. Erichthonios cringed at the sight and sighed heavily, shaking his head.

“Bad enough all the concepts are loose, but if they’re fighting one another, that’s going to make recapturing them even more difficult,” he said.

“How so?” Dancing Heron said.

“Each of these creatures are very powerful and when they go feral, their magicks can spike significantly,” Erichthonios said. “The interment spells are designed to cage one creature at a time; more than one, particularly if they’re in states of aggression, and the spell is likely to fail just from being overwhelmed.”

Themis frowned thoughtfully. “That seems an oversight for an emergency situation,” he said.

Erichthonios sighed once more and nodded. “Aye, but in a normal emergency, there are multiple keywards able to contain multiple creatures. Only one person available in all of Pandæmonium to cast the interment magicks? That’s never happened, and before today, if you’d told any of us about something like this, even the Chief Keyward would have told you that was impossible.”

“Well, bad news,” Rereha said, coming around the corner with Alakhai from scouting ahead, “there’s a nicely sized group of big nasties up ahead snacking on something even bigger.”

Heron swore quietly as Erichthonios darted forward to see what creatures were there. “Is there another route down to the waterways?”

“No,” Erichthonios said, still peering around the corner. “The only alternate route from here is a hallway just up ahead; it’s before the intersection where these concepts are. Looks like they found that ophiotaurus someone decided to give a skorpios tail and the ability to generate earthquakes…”

Heron came up just behind him, looking over his head. About a hundred yalms down the hallway, at a large intersection, a group of…somethings with too many tails and wings and horns apiece were gorging themselves on an enormous carcass. What disturbed her most was how quiet they were at their feasting; she would expect snarls and growls to be echoing towards them, but these creatures were eerily quiet. Even the sound of tearing flesh was oddly subdued.

“Where’s the hallway?” she said, dropping her voice so it would only carry to the rest of the group.

Erichthonious pointed to what had looked like a shadowed alcove, fifty yalms ahead. Heron grimaced; far too close for comfort, but needs must.

“I’ll take point,” she said. “Rere next, Ericthonios and Themis in the middle, Synnove and Alakhai on rearguard. Hug the wall, keep to the shadows best you can; Themis, if you’ve got a trick to disguise those white robes of yours, use it.”

The young man nodded and made a gesture; immediately, the brilliant white of his robes dimmed to a shadowy grey. Heron gave a thumbs up of approval, then carefully eased around the corner.

This hallway was wide, likely meant to facilitate the transfer of larger creatures like that ophiotaurus. But it made Heron uneasy: too open, the feeling worsened by the empty cells and containment chambers all around them. She tapped the top of her armored thigh boots along the leather edge, one-two-three, and a muffling spell slid down her legs to pool at her feet, quieting the gentle clink of armor as she walked. That taken care of, she slid carefully across the stone floor to the opposite side of the hallway, then hugged the wall as she crept forward.

The rest of their group followed after her in single file. Heron kept her eyes on the monsters ahead, trusting her sisters implicitly as she always did and knowing they would both watch her back and watch over Erichthonios and Themis. The faint whisper of uneven, sliding footsteps was just behind her; their two new companions, apparently, either knew how to move quietly already or were following Heron and Rere’s examples.

Heron reached the intersecting hallway without incident and took a few steps forward, giving the others room to each duck into the hallway as she kept watch.

That, of course, was when their luck ran out, as one of the monsters ahead raised up its long, serpentine neck to swallow a hunk of meat, and spotted them. It froze and even at this distance, Heron could see its pupils dilating. It made a strange hissing-like churr that set Heron’s teeth on edge, its neck swaying side to side, and all the others like it looked up, too.

“Run,” Heron said.

Behind her, the others gave up stealth and bolted. The monsters lunged down the hall.

Heron turned and hauled after the group. Roars and shrieks and that awful, ear-ringing hiss-churr followed them, as did the sound of claws and huge paws thudding onto stone. In a few strides, Heron caught up to her sisters and their companions, and she immediately snatched Erichtonious—throwing him over her shoulder and ignoring his startled yelp—and Themis—tucked under the opposite shoulder with her arm banded tightly around his stomach—and surged to take the lead. Synnove had already snagged Rere, and Alakhai was slowing so she could wheel around and throw flashbangs, the pins already clenched in her teeth.

“Which way?” Heron shouted over the sound of screeching monsters and exploding grenades.

She felt Erichthonios push up against her shoulder to crane his head around to see. “Third left then second right!”

Heron obeyed, lengthening her stride with Synnove-clutching-Rere beside her and Alakhai catching up, and sprinted deeper into the depths of Pandæmonium.
