I drew Zavaan and Anthrazit. Right as they broke through their riders’ thralls and are now able to fight back  reminder that if anyone sees this, Anthrazit belongs to @locateyourfeelings and Zavaan belongs to the runner of this blog @covvboyy

"'Step into my parlor, said the spider to the fly...'" Vladimir hums as he walks towards Elise. "I do hope you'll spare me a kinder fate, Lady Zavaan. Or would you prefer Elise?"

Elise seems to float, languid and comfortable upon hundreds of iridescent, whisper-thin threads crossing over and over and over again from their attachments to furniture and walls within the spider queen’s sitting room. She is well aware most of her guests view the innumerable webs within the grand landscape of the Zaavan Manor as mess- but every last one is intentional, woven and arranged with exceeding care, equally as important to the décor as the handcrafted furniture and ageless paintings.

Her visitor doesn’t seem to mind, however, and this she appreciates. The corners of her delicately painted mouth turn up in the barest hint of a smile.

“Oh, you have no need to be so formal with me- Elise, always.”

She moves in adagio, slowly and intentionally, as her head tilts in time with the leg swinging, hung off the edge of the web, and the ends of her smile turn ever upwards. Even when she truly has no ill will, there’s a frightening layer to every expression that crosses her face.

“"Dear friend, what shall I do, to prove the warm affection I've always felt for you?” She quotes the same poem back to him, almost silently. “I think you are far too intelligent to fall for such deception, Vladimir.”

“There really is no way to ride a seesaw with dignity.”

→ STARTERS FROM THE COMMONWEALTH.

There really isn’t.

And yet Lady Zavaan seems tempted regardless. Julian has to assume that Noxus doesn’t have public parks, much less playgrounds. Fighting rings seem to be much more their style.

“You may have to abandon yours for the moment, then,” he suggests, raising an eyebrow. “I won’t tell.”

“I believe you will find that open air is not deleterious to human health.”

→ THE CAVES OF STEEL.

Viktor puts a metal hand to his mask and cocks his head. For a moment, it appears as if he’s taking Lady Zavaan’s words seriously.

Then he shakes his head and exhales sharply. “Perhaps not in your city. Have you ever been to Zaun? I assure you: it is deleterious there.”

But, of course, why would a Noxian find herself in Zaun if not for some profitable or powerful purpose? The city isn’t a destination, especially for those who have little knowledge of modern science. The inverse is much more likely to be true. There’s plenty of Zaunites who want to get out of the city and spread its ideas and advancements, who want to sing its praises to nations they see as backwards backwaters.

They use carriages in Noxus. It’s odd to see livestock so publicly.

“And, if you are attempting to unmask me for reasons other than my good health, then... No.”

“You will push the world harder than it pushes back.”

→ SKY ABOVE, VOICE WITHIN. | no longer accepting

     “That’s a high compliment,” Vladimir remarks, glancing up from his paperwork with a raise of his brows. He tilts his head at Elise, as though trying to glean the circumstances that have inspired her to make such a comment. He knows the power of her silken words and pretty eyes— although for Vladimir, those are blunt and quite useless weapons. 

     He studies her for a moment, his dark eyes flitting over her expression and posture, before he sets down his feather quill. In the time that the Lady Zavaan has been with the Rose, she’s proved herself to be a worthy ally. Emilia likes her, and so Vladimir must offer his full attention. He bridges his fingers together and sets his chin atop.

     “I do believe it’s the duty of the Black Rose to push and pull the world into any direction,” he asks. “We’ve been quite successful, have we not?” 

     And he knows that within these labyrinths, among the company of aristocrats, every statement has another meaning. Vladimir narrows his eyes at Elise.

     “Did you want something from me, Lady Zavaan?”

👿Would my muse ever blackmail someone into sex?

Elise would blackmail someone into sex just so that she could have MORE blackmail to get them to do something else. >8)

🏩 What was my muse’s first time like?

Short. It was her first time seducing a guy who could provide her some information regarding House Zavaan. He didn’t last very long. Elise wasn’t very impressed.

Domestic cycle and Zavaan is just like sparring with some conjured up being, training with his sword and Anthrazit looking on from their porch

"I hope I haven't done anything to gain the Black Rose's ire," Ezra says, his curious eyes following Elise. "But I'm not sure why else I would receive a late night visit from Lady Zavaan. You're not here for /prayer/, are you?"

The very thought of it nearly makes Elise laugh.

She has long, long since abandoned any hope of salvation, at least by the terms of mortal religions, housed in churches and populated by young clergy. The ways in which Elise prays are grotesque and abhorrent, and she is the only one within her convocation.

She won’t laugh in his face, though. It would be boorish to mock his livelihood, and The Lady Zaavan is highly averse to behavior better fitting of a freebooter.

So instead, she smiles amicably.

“I like to visit our contacts, on occasion. I know my appearance, and what you’ve heard of me is likely frightening, but I’m actually one of the more social members of the Rose,” she laughs softly, hands clasped delicately together in front of her.

Truly, the image of a polite, harmless creature.

Approach to a timeline

• 1st cycle

Anthrazit And Zavaan are formed. Zavaan questions the necessity of Death and after creating a plane without death (later known as The First World) is cast down from the heavens.

The rider of Death catches him before he reaches the depths of hell and makes him his host in a sweet twist of irony. Death utilizes his anger to fuel an attempt of genocide onto the angels.

Anthrazit was instructed to put an end to Zavaan's massacre and fell into the thralls of War. Thanks to her powers granted to him after he became a host he was able to put a stop to Zavaan, making him a prisoner of war so to speak.

•2nd-4th cycle

Zavaan escapes from war and steals her sword.

Zavaan tries to work against the riders.

Anthrazit ist freed from the thralls of war.

•5-9th cycle

Anthrazit joins in operating against the riders however the two aren't aware of each other yet

•10th cycle

Zavaan and Anthrazit meet formally for the first time. Anthrazit shows no signs of ever having met/known Zavaan. The now-Demon however, cannot forget.

They kick it off well though and together they infiltrate a cult they suspect is the key to a famine-centric apocalypse.

They are fully correct. Morgain, the power-hungry, charismatic leader of the cult has been a close-to-lifetime host of Famine.

Anthrazit falls to the love-bombing of the cult while Zavaan manages to stay wary, however after fully having 'lost' the angel to the cult Zavaan escapes before he would also be fully caught in it.

He is stopped by Famine's vessel, who plants enough insecurities in him about Anthrazit that Zavaan becomes a straight-up hermit for over a thousand years. But at least Zav stabs Famine real good delaying the end for about- a week?

With Zavaan out of the picture Anthrazit is prepped to become Morgain's confidant and stays near his side up until the beginning of the End.

The apocalypse rings in with the death of Morgain's wife Lucia and son Laszlo. (Which he willingly sacrificed to Famine bit Morgain has 0 brain cells like that) driven completely deranged he orders the ritualistic suicide of all members of the cult which dominoes into more apocalypse.

Anthrazit regaining Morgain's lost brain cells sees again that "Wait, This Is Bad™" and after refusing to kill himself and Almost being burnt alive by Morgain he manages to escape and is on the search for Zavaan

After weeks of walking, he finally finds the demon and collapses on the doorstep of his hermit hut.

Zavaan nurtures him back to health and everything but right before Anthrazit wakes up again he leaves without a trace

Morgain is saved by Famine from the apocalypse to be preserved and used later

The world ends.

•11-19th cycle

Zavaan keeps his distance from Anthrazit mainly. Even when it comes to taking Riders on directly.

•20th cycle

Famine first attempt at an apocalypse using Laszlo, the artificially created reincarnation of Morgain's son, who will be fuelled by Morgain's advanced magic so that one day he will kick start the apocalypse by causing a Famine of magic which will disturb balance enough to end the world

•21th-29th cycle

Anthrazit and Zavaan slowly grow closer again but the demon still keeps his distance and often vanishes completely after a day or so of spending time together

•30th cycle

Anthrazit and Zavaan know of Famine's plans to an apocalypse using Laszlo, so they try to find the vessel before Famine can get to it. And they manage to.

Laszlo is being raised by Anthrazit And Zavaan, instructed on how to fight and use his magic for good and the rest of the woke!Laszlo timeline happens. Long story short; despite the Angel & demon's best efforts they can't keep Laszlo sheltered forever and even though he doesn't want to be used for the apocalypse by Famine he still ends up killing his fated love, Flubius and instead of dieing himself he's cursed to roam between the planes of the other riders, forever longing to hold his love in his arms again

Djinn and Fabi ascend and from now on also low-key fight against the riders

•31st-99th cycle

Yearning and Angst. Nothing else happened. These two are trying to save the world but they can't even talk about their feelings before the riders are rolling up like "host time babeeyyy"

•100th cycle

The angels Keran and Ezekiel are formed

Ezekiel is cast from heaven because he kept abandoning his creations, but, just like Zavaan before him, he was caught by Death and made to be his host

Keran becomes a host of War after he succumbs to his own rage over how falling angels are treated.

•101st-109th cycle

Anthrazit And Zavaan are finally a bit more let off from the riders since they have new and improved hosts™ now but not to worry there's still enough angst and yearning going around. Zavaan slowly comes around to staying with Anthrazit though

•110th cycle

Keran makes out Anthrazit's location and captures him for War. Fawning over the alleged 'legendary general Anthrazit' he makes him relive His greatest acts under war first hand and let's him forget the times he almost succeeded against the riders and especially Zavaan.

Anthrazit is Made War's Admiral and having two hosts now she can plot the ultimate war in letting her hosts lead opposing armies. The war that followed is to never be recreated, neither in length, cruelty, or body count.

Zavaan, having of course noticed the trend of an upcoming war, set out to search Anthrazit this time around. Of course he couldn't find him and thus tried to act against the war on his own. This was also, of course, futile.

In an attempt to stop one the war's more gruesome weapons Zavaan sacrificed himself to save thousands. However he didn't wake up in the next world or just some decades later on the material plane again. No, Zavaan woke up on Death's plane and was promptly made his host again, next to Ezekiel

•111th-124th cycle

Anthrazit somehow escapes War, probably bc Keran was too jealous and fucked up

Zavaan isn't as lucky and falls harder for Death, succumbing to him like he hasn't in over 100 worlds

•125th cycle

Death and War come up with a plan and thus pose Zavaan and Keran as leaders of a joint-cult.

Anthrazit tries to confront Laszlo and sway him from causing the apocalypse. To no avail as he was defeated by Laszlo together with Famine and left temporarily without memories.

After Anthrazit just followed his instincts of where he thought he should go (Zavaan's vibes) he found himself in the cult. Keran was immediately trying to make him remember his war glory days while Zavaan was trying and failing to resist Death's orders. Together the two hosts were able to make Anthrazit not Just remember but he also became a host of both Death and War.

•126-129th cycle

With the reality of his actions weighing even more on his conscience Zavaan was finally able to fight against Death again. After almost killing Ezekiel, the demon was on for the ultimate punishment.

•130th cycle

Death ordered his newest host, Anthrazit, to cast Zavaan into the river Phlegethon, which's fires are the only things able to eradicate something as life- and deathless as Zavaan.

As his last attempt to be with Anthrazit He desperately clung to him, going so far as to even drag him down with him into the river flames.

During their fight Zavaan managed to yank Anthrazit's stone, his essence, out of his chest as the now empty vessel of the two-rider host escaped the flames and seemingly left the Demon to die

Thankfully to Anthrazit's Holy, shielding powers Zavaan was able to stand against the flames and later walk out of the river again, still figuratively and literally on death's door.

Zavaan escapes hell.

131st-149th cycle

Zavaan roams the material planes evading everything even remotely connected to the riders and apocalypses. His first and only priority is to protect the literal Anthrazit Stone in hopes of his angelic love to reform

150th cycle

Anthrazit reforms and he and Zavaan are finally reunited.

Anthravaan ist first formed?? MayB

•151st cycle

Victoria time babeeyyy thwart war's plans hell yeeeaaa

•Some cycle afterwards
