Random Lance Headcanons I Came Up With For a Friend When I Was Having a Sugar High Higher Than Mt Everest

Enjoy my borderline psychopathic rant. This is basically hcs about Lance (either ANE or TO, but I'm having a major TO craving lately so I had him in mind with these) if he went through what I was going through lol (aka high on so much sugar it might as well have been crack).

This has very minimal editing. I came up with these as an energy release one night and then decided to post it later because why the f not. I'd say it's decent content lol.

~Under the cut~

Purrs - it's low and deep in the chest but loud af

Only happens when he's happy/content

Vibrates, especially when he purrs

Like, a whole body vibrate

It feels like tremors

Maybe they are tremors? I call it vibrating

It's from the ridiculous amount of energy going through him. He can't sit still

Wants to attack EVERYTHING

But not like ATTACK attack

Sorta roughhouse and/or subdue

Think of a cat on catnip

Burrows

Burrows like a fucking prairie dog

Not on the ground, the ground is dirty

But burrows in the bed, the couch, ANYWHERE SOFT

Basically makes a pillow fort without the logical engineering of one

Pillows, blankets, EVERYTHING IS STOLEN

And he'll just wedge himself in the mountain of softness and eventually a burrow opening will appear and somehow it'll eventually have a sound internal structure despite looking like a mess from the outside

Man is making a fluffy cave

The purr, vibrate, burrow trifecta commonly goes together

If he's burrowing, you'd bet he's also purring and vibrating inside that soft mountain

Don't expect him to leave his burrow

He won't leave his burrow for SHIT

Bites and holds

This is mainly for his partner

He gets clingy and if they're close by then he gets all happy and gives affection nips and won't let go for a while sometimes

Clings, doesn't let go

Hisses and burrows and flips and rolls as he burrows (cat much?)

Will tunnel beneath blankets, steal something from bedside table, hide beneath blanket again

Will steal you beneath the blankets too if you approach and ask or tease

Not very horny, just clingy

But clingy can easily lead to horny

NUZZLES

Nuzzles like a fucking KING

Nuzzles and nips gently

Gives bone crushing clingy hug and holds

If startled, will jump, hunker down, stare with wide eyes then scamper away

Will not leave his burrow for anything

Can maybe be tempted out to steal a pretty maiden (you) seducing him, but will be back within one minute with said maiden

If anyone except his partner witness him in such a moment as these he will freeze, stare, maybe scamper

Will observe his partner while bundled beneath the blankets (his burrow) for hours

Get too close and he'll steal you under

Might steal something you put in arm's reach nearby and act like nothing happened

Get too close and he'll steal you too

He'll steal you if he gets a chance, every chance, ANY CHANCE AT ALL BEWARE

Likes to be shirtless and brush against things

It's a territory scent thing

Plus the faint scratch feels good

Curls around almost anything he can get his hands on

Give him a fucking pillow, he'll curl into a ball around it

A blanket? Might as well be a pillow. He'll ball it up and curl around it

A coffee mug? He'll hold it to his stomach and curl around it (but won't be pleased at how small it is)

Just imagine it's like a cat laying on its favorite toy all day. That's this guy

Yes I know I'm referencing cats a lot. It's because dragons are basically scaley cats when spazzing out and nobody can change my mind

Will maybe hide under the bed and chirr

A chirr is like a purr except high pitched

Still loud af

Dragon nesting habits lol

Will steal you under bed too if you get on his level

Likes high up places though

You'll catch him on the rafters in the room, peering down from above

Will randomly disappear

Then reappears somewhere else in the room and just s t a r e s

If he scampers away from a random someone else he will return a few seconds later and scamper away with his partner in his arms

Full agreement. I'm not writing guides for Lance anymore because we don't. get. enough. time. with. the. Li's. No point in writing a guide for one Li when there's only one or two (MAYBE even one) choice.

Am I wrong for not getting excited for episode 13?

Don´t get me wrong, as much as Er*ika´s stupidity bothers me, I do like the general plot, the idea is not bad actually. But I don´t feel the restlesness I felt months and probably years ago, just ITCHING for a new episode to come out to see my crush/es.

I STILL haven´t played episode 12, because I don´t feel like suffering through 1 and 1/2 hours+ of Er*ka just being Er*ka only to spend less than 10 mins with my man. At this point, the completionist in me keeps me from stopping altogether.

I just can´t do it and I doubt that this situation will get any better in the upcoming episodes.

Lance: Origins / Childhood Headcanons

Random post because I feel like it. I’ve had this finished in my drafts for a while but haven’t posted it. Why? I have no idea. I like to hoard my writings I guess. Anyways, enjoy.

So I have a major small (but actually major) thing for Origins Lance. Don't ask why, I have my twisted reasons, but because of that I of course have a million and one headcanons on him in Origins. However, I'm also very curious about his childhood - around when he was growing up in the secluded village - so this post is a bit of a two-parter in the sense that one section is hcs about Origins Lance / Ashkore while the other section is about his childhood.

Since we know almost nothing about his childhood, my hcs about his childhood are my own personal theories and ideas on what may have occurred (combined with the little we know that happened), but hey, isn't that why headcanons are fun?

~ Under the cut ~

Childhood:

Lance was estranged from other kids his age while in the village. He found interest in other things than what the village kids found interesting. However, he still excelled in social skills and found himself easily integrating into the village kids when he wanted.

Valk usually did his own thing, but occasionally joined Lance in his interests. He typically would rather hang out with his elder twin than with the village kids, partially because they had more similar interests than the village kids.

Lance from a relatively young age was held in high esteem by the villagers, including other kids his age. There was quite a lack of jealousy among them, just appreciation that Lance - with his array of great talents - was an active part of their village. Great talents in the village generally weren’t surrounded by jealousy, just appreciation that they were there to help.

Speaking of his talents, him and Valk were likely educated alongside the other village children, but Lance prevailed quite quickly and surpassed many others in how well he was doing with his studies (this also helped Valk excel, and Lance was always happy to help mentor others of any age who needed help with something he knew a lot about). However, this village was small, so he unfortunately didn't really have the opportunity to have advanced classes with mentors who could teach him more than what he already knew from outside studying of his own. Lance never really minded this, but it did contribute to his reasoning for leaving the village later on.

Despite not having advanced classes, Lance still managed to improve upon what he already knew through apprenticeships. These apprenticeships ranged from the local forge, the local gardens, and even to the village elders and leaders. Some of these apprenticeships were less of an apprenticeship and more of just Lance striking a conversation and then meeting up weekly for conversation about the topic at hand, but Lance still considered those meet ups as an apprenticeship because he still learned a lot, even if only through words.

From those apprenticeships, he gained a lot of wisdom, physical strength, and skill with working things with his hands over the years. This is also how the village grew to especially appreciate him; he worked hard and rarely asked for anything in return. Since the village was quite small, barter was usually a common form of trade. The local shops and establishments got meaningful, honest help from Lance, and in turn Lance got a good education and commonly got to keep a good share of what he helped create for the establishments as payment for his work (or might just pay him with currency per normal). He rarely asked for more; he was getting a good education and his profits helped him maintain a decent lifestyle with Valk.

His favorite apprenticeship was with the local guard, where Valk spent most of his time and where they both seemed to thrive the most. Lance and Valk both took to training in the local guard at a very young age and eventually became invaluable members over the years; valiantly jumping to arms whenever necessary and commonly bringing home food from successful hunts that proved time and time again how dedicated they were. They seemed to work especially well when they could work alongside each other. It became clear in time that Lance was the more dominant, "assertive" brother while Valk was a bit more laid back and agreeable, but they had and equal respect for each other and together they were truly a force to be reckoned with.

As a young teenager, he flirted with many women, but never really took it much further than mere flirting despite his popularity among the local young women. He was very focused on his apprenticeships and did have a clear respect for women, influenced by listening to the wisdom of the village elders for many years. Later on, only for perhaps a year or two before he left the village in his mid teens, did he begin to engage in anything more intimate.

Despite the good life he had in the kind village, Lance knew he would eventually outgrow it, and that began to appear in his early teen years when he began to feel restless and began to heavily explore past the territory of the village.

He eventually felt most burdened by this in his mid teens, when he knew for sure that he needed to leave and finally decided that it was time to do so. Valkyon was somewhat averse to this as he felt that they would be fine in that village for the rest of their lives, but Lance knew he couldn't stay in that small village forever. He wouldn't ever forget the people who raised him, but he needed more in life. Valkyon - the loyal, faithful brother he is - decided to leave alongside Lance. After all, the two came as a pair; wherever one was, the other was never very far away.

Through out the many years of being in that village, Lance’s training in secret with his dragon abilities also hung over his head. He knew very little of the people he came from, and knew he needed to keep it a secret for his - and his brother's - safety, but Lance also left hoping that he could find more answers in secret elsewhere.

Origins:

Looking back on his childhood, Lance never for a moment though he would end up turning his abilities on the world he grew up on. He didn't like to think about the village he came from, he didn't like to think about if they knew what he had become, nor did he like thinking about how they were so kind to him and yet would suffer because of his actions against the majority. In his time of severe emotional and mental breaking down, many of his formal morals fell short in stopping him. The only thing he could comprehend most of the time was fear, anger, and sorrow, and the only way he felt he could rid himself of these emotions was to avenge his people's sacrifice for a world that didn't deserve to be saved. He quite literally collapsed in on himself and became his own worst enemy.

Despite his ruthlessness, I headcanon that he still checked in on Valk every once in a while. He was the only true family he had growing up, and was the only thing left of his family. Sure he didn't express the same interest that Lance did in their abilities, but he was still his brother. Lance worried about him on occasion, but would always make the excuse that he was just making sure he was still alive. If he died, Lance could investigate, and if he found out that Valk was sacrificed because their genetics were found out, that would mean the guard knew Lance's genetics and could try to trap him using techniques that could possibly fool a dragon. Know what your enemy knows, you know?

Valkyon was working against Lance in avenging their family, so Lance refused to acknowledge that he still harbored brotherly feelings for Valk in any way. At the end of the day, he always said that he monitored Valk's condition for his own safety... but deep down Lance knew that that was only partially true. In moments of rare calm - almost nonexistent during his warpath - he knew he missed Valk.

War wasn't the same without his brother there to back him up and watch his flank.

Lance ran himself until he was dead tired most days, pushing himself harder than he ever pushed himself before. However, when he found a moment to catch some rest, he found it hard to sleep. If he wasn't bothered by his thoughts nagging him about everything that could go wrong, then he was bothered by knowing that he was wasting valuable time trying to sleep when he could instead spend it planning, and those thoughts then kept him up further, refusing to let him sleep. And the less he felt he could sleep, the more irritated he became knowing he wouldn't go to sleep soon and could spend that time planning, which would keep him up further and irritate him even more. It was a vicious cycle.

Lance felt he had a bit of a love-hate relationship with Guardienne. He liked her spitfire attitude and that she wasn't afraid to stand up to him, but at the same time, she sometimes made that quality of hers very prominent in the worst moments for Lance. One second she was kind to him, almost caring and gentle, nearly empathizing with him - him, the cold, cruel, vicious beast of a man - and the next second she was trying to run from him and slow him down so the guard could catch him. Didn't she know they would kill him without hesitance? Who's side was she on?

This one is already a bit known, but I'm expanding it. Lance occasionally liked to screw with the guard - that's already known, especially when it hindered them - but I also headcanon that he screwed with them merely for fun sometimes. Almost as though it was a hobby for him to partake in when he was feeling bored. Guardienne was being a drag? Let loose a wild Black Dog in the market and let the fun begin. The guard is temporarily occupied with something else and isn't falling into his traps? Well he'll bring the traps to them: just a small run through the corridors will send the whole guard lurching after him, and he simultaneously distracts them and gets in a bit of daily exercise. Leiftan jumped on his metaphorical menstrual cycle and is being bitchy to Lance? Make his life even harder within the guard.

Leiftan and Lance also had a bit of a love-hate relationship. One second they would literally be going after each other's throats, and the next second they would be laughing their asses off with each other about how gullible the guard is.

And then Lance would throw a dirty glance at Guardienne and they'd be back to going for each other's throat.

I have a lot of hcs on Ashkore and Lance as a child, so maybe expect more of these in the future lol.

Thanks for reading!

Ok I lied I'm playing the episode right now because I'm nervous and obsessive now but can I talk about how this is literally a reference to the cliff scene in Origins episode 26?

(Under the cut for spoilers sake)

Correct me if I’m wrong, but the only time where there was this sort of tension between them and they were standing at a cliff is when he kidnapped her in Origins. Nowhere in ANE are they at a cliff with this tension.

(Also this scene is in reference to Erika wishing she could go back in time and change things so they could be different, just for a bit of context.)

I’m glad this is at least acknowledged.

Holy hell I've been so out of communication with everything lately I didn't even know to new episode came out.

Being honest, I probably won't play it for a few days, and I'm not sure I'll make a guide on it. There's been a lot going on lately and it's just not the first thing on my mind.

Hope it's alright though.

Guide episode 11 eldarya

(I’ll be editing this) (Blue answers, are the ones I choose)

Dialogues are a little different, as I’m translating them from Spanish to English. Also, dialogues with the butler are a mystery, as we don’t know his lovometer.

A. (I nodded. He was more loyal to my father than my mother…)

B. Yeah, and also to keep your job.

C. It is very honorable. Without a doubt, he needed you more than ever.

Butler: I’d better let him know so he can prepare.

A. I forbid you to call him. Is It clear?

B. Listen, be nice, don’t call him. I have other things to do before that…

Huang Chu:

A. (I glared at her to stoped her from laughing)

B. A real stroke of luck, as you say.

C. (I winked at her, discreetly. She had a good reaction) +5

Mathieu: (all neutrals)

A. (Even I’m a little surprise, it’s better this way…)

B. (Finally, he’s himself again! I’m glad to see that he regains his initiative)

C. (About time! I thought he wouldn’t!)

Huang Chu:

A. I think we should stay here as short as possible. Pity about the food. (prob +5 Leiftan. Maybe: huang Chua +5. Mathieu -5 and Lance-5. I’m not sure about this one)

B. I abstain. Nevra, I’ll let you decide. (Nevra +5 Huang Chu -5)

C. To be honest, I’m hungry too. I vote for the food. (Huang Chu -5. Leiftan -5. Mathieu + 5. Lance +5. )

If your route is Lance:

Huang Chu: I get it… So, you you trust him completely?

A. Yes, blindly. I know he’s worth it

B. Let’s say I trust him as much as I trust… you, for example. +5

C. I’ll like to… but a part of me has its doubts.

Mathieu: it’s almost poetic, don’t you think?

A. I don’t know if it matters that much… neutral

B. I’m not sure if they are serious, but actually, yes, quite a lot (I don’t remember, but I believe this one is +5)

C. Really? Not at all. It’s even the opposite.

Nevra: I feel like these clothes are not enough for us to be undetectable.

A. I agree with you, we have been a bit presumptuous. +5

B. Clothes are not everything. It doesn’t camouflage your scar, for example. -5 (I choose this one, yeah, I f- up)

C. It’s the least that can be saids everyone is looking at us. Neutral

Leiftan:

A. I’m sorry but… this is not the time. Neutral

B. I understand what you are trying to do, I appreciate it. But it is not working. +5

C. Enough, I don’t need that now.

Huang Chu: Hey, Erika, I have a question( regarding the phones.

A. (I don’t feel like talking right now. I’d rather stay alert) no illustration

B. (No doubt they are right, I’m too nervous. I sonido relax) illustration

Mathieu:

A. (We need to concentrate more)

B. (He could’ve left, if Nevra hadn’t found him)

C. (Something my have happened, and we couldn’t have done anything)

Nevra:

A. (But he’s right, we need to keep going)

B. Nevra, do you want to stay with us? Illustration

Lovometer here: Mathieu 40 Nevra 45

Mathieu: wait a moment, aren’t you curious about that happens on earth?

A. Well, now that you mentioned it, yes, a bit. Neutral

B. to be honest, no. We will be leaving tonight anyway

C. Why not, if you want…

Huang Chu: Give to those who have nothing, fight against tyranny and injustice.

A. I’m glad you liked it so much. But I came for another reason. -5

B. I thought the guard was founded to keep order… +5

C. I understand… you know what? You would keep that book. Neutral

Lance x Guardienne Inspiration Short

GET IT OUT! Get this piece out of my drafts! I have requests and old works dating to nearly a year back, I need SPACE to work!

Anyways, this Valentine’s illu and new episode jump-started me back into Lance so hopefully I’ll stick around lol. Enjoy this tiny post.

So there's this picture that exists.

It inspired me.

I talked with the creator (thank you so much @loky94uwu!) and they were pleased with my idea to write a small drabble on it, so here I am doing as such hehe.

In the original post with the picture, there’s a bit of a backstory already set for it. I didn’t exactly write this with that backstory in mind, but it could certainly be implied or suggested as there’s nothing here that disproves it.

~Under the cut~

A head poked into the quiet library, silver fur ears perked and twitching as they searched for noise within the shelves while bright blue eyes flicked across the desks. Thick, silver tails lashed for a moment before the head disappeared out the door of the library and light, rushed footsteps sounded from the hallway outside. The head poked into the infirmary for a moment, intending to search it quickly like the library, but was distracted by a sound.

"Can I help you with something?"

Ewelein stood next to her supplies in the corner of the room, clearly restocking as she looked over at the Kitsune that had just entered the room.

"Have you seen Guardienne?" Koori's voice was inquisitive and sharp. She really needed to find her.

"Hmm...” Ewelein glanced away for a moment in thought before looking back at Koori. “No, not for the past couple of hours. I saw her earlier at the Cherry Blossom Tree but only for a quick moment. I think she was busy with someone. Lance, maybe."

"Ok, thanks."

Koori quickly disappeared from the Infirmary, racing down the stairs and planting a firm foot on the ground at the bottom before hastening off towards the Cherry Blossom Tree. It was a long shot to find Guardienne there now - after all, Ewelein said it had been many hours since she saw a glimpse of her there - but at very least Koori had a trail of where she had been. Perhaps someone around there would know where she went next and could point her that way.

As the Kitsune rushed through the market, she thought about possibly trying Guardienne's room if this search still turned out hopeless. It was dark out after all, the market long since quiet as nightfall settled in completely and the street shops all closed up, so it would make sense if the woman in question had retired to her bedroom.

Koori nearly skidded to a halt. Ewelein said Guardienne may have been with Lance. If she was in her room... was Lance with her?

The Kitsune glanced quickly at the stars faintly dotting the sky as she swerved to avoid a closed shop stall. Maybe she should take a bit of caution if she approached Guardienne's room at this late of night. Koori didn't really want to walk in on them... doing something. They weren't exactly a thing, but they have been showing interest in each other as of late. If they were still together at this time of night then they may have been taking things a few steps further.

Regardless, Koori still hurried to the Cherry Blossom Tree, not bothering to scan her surroundings as she poked a head past the curved entrance bushes to peek inside. It was empty.

Well, maybe there was someone around who had seen Guardienne recently.

Koori poked her head back out and rounded the bushes on the other side of the entrance, only to stop mid stride and freeze as she realized she just walked in on something that she wasn't supposed to be a part of.

Guardienne stood with her back nearly pressed against the bushes, her hands resting on Lance's chest as he gripped her waist, their lips nearly brushing. Upon hearing Koori's rushed entrance, Guardienne jerked her head back, snapped her eyes open, and slapped a hand over Lance's mouth, turning and looking at Koori with a mixture of shock and embarrassment. Lance also snapped his eyes open, jumping faintly when a hand clapped over his mouth, and leveled a surprised stare on the Kitsune.

Koori remained frozen in mid stride, glancing between Guardienne to Lance before laying her ears back and giving a sheepish, guilty grin, her tails twitching from the awkwardness.

Guardienne glanced towards Lance, meeting his gaze momentarily before both gazes turned back to the Kitsune as the Aengel started speaking

"Can we- ugh- I... do you need something?" Guardienne stuttered as she spoke, glancing again between Lance and Koori. Lance’s gaze stayed on her before flicking over to look at Koori as she spoke.

"Uh, well, I just wanted to talk about a thing but I see you're busy, so... " Koori hesitated, not meaning to interrupt them. She noted that the Dragon’s gaze snapped to her when she spoke, and then flicked back to Guardienne as she looked at him.

“Well...” Her gaze turned back to Koori, as well as Lance’s.

“No, no, it’s fine! It’s not- well, it’s sort of urgent, but it can wait! Just, umm, find me when you’re done? I’ll be in the library!”

Koori gestured wildly as she spoke, planting her other foot on the ground and taking a step back before rushing off to where she came from.

Guardienne turned to look at Lance just as he turned his blue eyes back to her, both looking at each other with a mixture of shock and confusion at what just occurred. He brought his hand up and tapped Guardienne’s wrist, who was still covering his mouth with her hand, not realizing she was doing so.

“Oh, sorry!” Guardienne realized it as quickly as him and took her hand off his mouth. The corner of Lance’s mouth twitched with the beginnings of a small grin.

"Should you go find out what that was about?"

"Yea, probably."

Lance took a step back, and she gave him a shy smile before turning and following where the Kitsune raced off to. Lance's cold eyes followed her as she walked away and out of sight, burning want lacing his gaze.

He nearly got her.

~~~

Me to Myself: *Throwing a hissy-fit after trying to regulate myself for the millionth time* "Ok, repeat after me. ‘I need to learn to shorten my writings. Not all of them need to be as long as a dictionary.’"

Myself to Me: *Huddled fearfully in the corner from the she-devil throwing a hissy-fit* "I need to learn to shorten my writings. Not all of- oh hey, I finally did it!"

This is me trying to learn how to write a short but quality piece. Based on the length of this post and my satisfaction of it, I think I've finally won lol.

So I suppose there’s no need to create a dialogue guide for Lance this episode.🙃

Also, I didn’t get either illustrations. For the first illustration, I chose to help HC out with the phone concept and the second I asked Nevra to stick around at the computers. Is this a bug, or did I (goodness help me😒) screw it up because I wasn’t wearing the Earth outfit?😒

Writing and Guides Update

I'll be here for episode 11! I'm hoping to go over episode 10 again eventually and get a guide written for that too (although I don't remember if there's any choice dialogues with Lance in that one, I'd appreciate it if someone could remind me).

For the past two weeks (I think, I'm lost on time lately lol) I've also gotten heavily back into writing for Lance, although I've been craving TO Lance so I've been solely focusing my writing in the excerpts of my oc and Lance. I won't promise anything soon since I'm trying to stock up on a few writings so I can make proper plot edits when necessary, but I may give a few sections of the WIPs. All I'll say in the mean time is that the plot starts to get good in the next few excerpts 👀

That's all. I hope this episode goes well even though it'll probably still be weird 🙃

Regarding ANE Episode 10

I won’t be up early to do a Lance guide tomorrow when the episode is released, but I might later in the day.

I think I’m currently taking a long break/hiatus from Tumblr for the most part due to a lot of important things changing in my life right now. I’ll still work on past requests and such when I find time and inspiration, though (which is far and few in between but not nonexistent). Because of this, my future guides may not be on time, but I don’t think I’ll stop doing them. Hope everyone is doing well.

WIP

Don’t worry @hethelain, I haven’t forgotten about this post and the writing I promised for it.

In short, I demanded Beemoov write the scene in question, and then just decided that I didn't want to wait for something that may not happen and would write it myself. Enter: the results of that conversation lol.

~A couple posts ago I offered to post a couple of WIP’s I have, just for the sake of it because why not and hopefully it can help me get back into writing. Someone showed interest and that’s all I needed to post a couple WIP’s hehe. There’ll be more in the coming days/weeks.

~Keep in mind that this is a WIP, so it’s still being worked on and isn’t completely polished. There may be some differences between this draft and the final product due to final editing.

Warnings: Not a whole lot, a bit of angst. There may be different warnings in the finalized edition.

~ Under the cut ~

(This preview does not start from the very beginning of the original piece)

The footsteps ahead of her ceased, casting the haunting, peaceful landscape around her into a deafening silence.

It all felt so unnatural, so barren, so tragically eerie. What happened to that bloodshed that was here not long ago? How is it possible it’s just gone? There was no trace of blood, or scars upon the earth, no sign of bloody war anywhere across the land, and it left Guardienne feeling hollow and tense at the same time.

She was gone for 7 years, and yet the battle feels like yesterday.

Her solemn gaze turned to the man a small ways in front of her, his mouth turned down at the corners and brows faintly furrowed as he stood partially turned towards her in wait. He didn’t like being here either, she realized. These memories haunted him, too.

He was here all of these years, and yet must feel as though the battle was yesterday, too.

And it was all because of him.

Guardienne was sure that the feeling rising in her throat was bile as she stared at Lance, unsure if the wild mix of emotions ripping her apart were telling her that she hated him or that she hated being here and wanted to be closer to him. This war was because of him, her absence because of his ambitions, and it haunted him just as much as it haunted her.

And now he stood in front of her, a small ways away from her to give her distance and quiet to think. She drifted further and further behind him over time as he led her to their forlorn destination, her past racing to catch her and her memories drowning her in a bitter hollowness every step of the way. When she had eventually looked at the ground, she told herself over and over that she hated him, that she wouldn’t forgive him, that he would never deserve any ounce of her respect, but now he stood in front of her and she just wanted to throw her arms around him and cry and tell him that everything would be alright.

Lance looked utterly defeated. His blue eyes seemed shrunken and tired, glassed over with torrents of emotions and sorrows, and his furrowed brows gave away the disdain he felt for himself. The corners of his mouth tilted downward and his shoulders sagged just a bit, and not once had Guardienne seen him walk with any bit of respect or honor in his step. He looked aged well beyond his years. Perhaps he felt that way, too, and perhaps he was aged beyond his years with his memories and past sins chasing him as well.

Guardienne felt sickened and comforted all the same knowing how much they shared in common because of him, but as much as she liked to think she lost more than him because of his war, one thought hung over her head constantly, biting back and fighting against the part of her heart that told her to hate him.

This was his brother, his other half. Lance grew up and risked his life alongside him, but now he’s dead.

And it’s all because of him.

Guardienne was thrown into her pit of despair and lost a lot, yes, but it wasn’t her fault. She didn’t ask for any of this, it never should have happened to her, and so there’s no question that she was wronged because of Lance. That much was clear. But Lance? He did this to himself. Perhaps he felt for a while that he had a right to avenge the dragons, but at the end of the day, after killing his brother, he realized that he was his own worst enemy. He lives everyday with the guilt that all of this - the memories of blood, corpses, and death - is all because of him. Guardienne lost a lot, but she fought for life and won the war. That is still a victory. Lance, however, fought to avenge his family, killed countless lives, murdered his own brother, and still lost the war. He came out of the war with less than he had before, and he knows this all too well.

“It’s not much further.” Lance's voice was quiet, rumbling across the distance between them to snap Guardienne out of her thoughts as she blinked at him.

Was he really comfortable with doing this? He certainly wouldn’t want to visit his brother’s grave, especially alongside the woman he nearly killed as well, or even alongside another living creature. However, he didn’t put up a fight when Guardienne asked him to take her to the grave site, so perhaps he was preparing for this time of reckoning.

~ That’s basically all I have for now, I hope it’s enjoyable so far! Some details may change in the future as I revise and edit it.
