Someone said now that Mercury’s going to vacuo he might end up in the books and if that isn’t anxiety inducing idk what is

#btd #atf #rw/by #pray for him #mercury #rw/de #pretty sure it was fatmanfalling

So, can he read and write or not? Make up your goddamn mind, Meyers, you Sun-emascualting punk...

#rwde #Meyers you poor poor idiot

[luminousx]

i dont want to see anyone acting like this was spontaneous or mentioning “2020 never ended” at all considering this was literally fucking planned out in the open, for everyone to see

Ppl got so pissy when people shipped sun (and other characters)with Adam. And now that winter- an abuse victim is being shipped with cinder, where is that energy now ?

#fndm likes to write their own rules on shipping but never stand by them when it comes to WLW #rwde

I’m Not Okay (I Promise)

CHAPTER ONE

They had only been in Vacuo three days when Mercury got a message from Cinder, demanding him to come back.

< I don’t work for you anymore, remember? > He typed back angrily.

< Salem told me you have to come back, do you want to turn on her too? >

There was some disdain between the two, but if Salem wanted him back that was different. He messaged Emerald to ask if it was true but she never replied. When Tyrian returned from whatever he had been doing he had his usual, horrifying smirk painted across his lips. “Our Queen is requesting your presence, lucky boy,” he practically panted, getting uncomfortably close to Mercury as he spoke.

“Wait- just me?” Mercury questioned, learning back to stay out of touching distance of the scorpion.

Another grin from Tyrian, “Oh yes, I must stay here and finish the work she set out for us. I guess you’re just not cut out for it?” He laughed manically and Mercury stepped back. His eyes glanced down to his scroll, still no reply from Emerald. Tyrian jumped out in front of him, “She’s not a patient Queen, why aren’t you on your way yet?” His pupils dilated as his face was an inch from Mercury’s.

Guess his trip really was short lived. He failed to see how Tyrian was going to locate and steal a relic from Shade Academy all on his own but … if he really was requested to be back with Salem he didn’t have a choice but to leave did he?

Mercury shrugged Tyrian off and stormed away, grabbing his bag and leaving their temporary headquarters to go back to the same airship they took to get to Vacuo. What a waste of time! It took days just to get here and now it would take the same amount of time to get back.

His scroll lit up again, he looked down expecting Emerald’s reply, but this time it was a message straight from Salem.

< Now. >

And somehow that one word stroke the fear into him and he sped up, practically running to the ship and taking off immediately. Still a waste of time… not that he would say such a thing to ‘Her Grace.’

For the next few hours he kept looking at his scroll. Nothing from Emerald but more messages from Cinder asking if he was on his way- he ignored them. By nightfall it bothered him that he hadn’t heard from Emerald so he replied to Cinder instead.

< Yeah I’m on my way. >

< What’s up with Em? >

And of course that is when Cinder stopped replying. He wanted to throw his scroll out of frustration at the whole scenario. Nothing was going to plan and he knew that he was better than this. Better than a ‘kid’ who Cinder ‘tricked into following her’. Or whatever else people thought of him. That might be Emerald but not him. He had potential, he didn’t need her. He chose to be a part of all this, he didn’t just end up here. As he had said before, he was where he was meant to be. He trained to become this. Again, his eyes looked to the scroll when it lit up.

< I did not permit any breaks. >

It was from Salem again…. How did she know that he had stopped? Did she really expect him to fly days without stopping at all? He was just by himself now, he needed sleep.

For only a second he considered disregarding the message but, he wasn’t that dumb so after he briefly stretched his arms, he began flying again. Even more angrily that before but if he wanted to prove himself to Salem that would mean obeying her orders.

Did he just trade one master for another?

Or was he just getting tired? He shook his head, forced his eyes to stay open and continued on his way for a very painful few days where his eyes constantly checked his scroll but he no longer received any messages. It didn’t matter anyway, why was he over-thinking all of this? Probably Salem just had another task for him, it’s not like Mercury wanted to spend time alone with Tyrian in the middle of the desert.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mercury really thought he’d be allowed to at least sleep or eat when he landed back on the whale, but instead Cinder was waiting for him, eyes down, refusing to focus on him- which was strange for Cinder. Mercury also noticed that they were still spewing out Grimm all over Atlas but no further attacks had been made. If he wasn’t so tired that would have been even more strange to him.

“Lay off me Cinder, I’ve been flying here nonstop from Vacuo!” He snapped before Cinder said a word.

“She will be angry it took you so long,” Cinder replied, gesturing for him to follow. Begrudgingly he did, everyone here was crazy. They got to the bridge and it was only Salem and Hazel there. Salem gave a harsh smile to Mercury.

“The child has finally returned.”

Mercury flinched at the comment. He was not a child. He was trying to prove that. “I thought you needed my help in Vacuo.”

“So did I,” Salem’s cold voice cut through, something in it told Mercury that he was not expected to speak. She went on, “But as you can see our numbers here in Atlas have shrunk exponentially. 

Mercury looked around again, he just assumed Emerald and Neo were not a part of this since they followed Cinder and not Salem directly, and the kid was probably locked up again, he looked to Cinder now, who once again refused eye contact.

“You’ve guessed correctly, Cinder’s toys are no longer here.”

Mercury’s eyes widened.

“It seems, her two most valuable assets that she thought she was bringing to me decided to get a will of their own. And as they went missing so did Ozma and my relic.”

Mercury felt his entire body shiver with dread. Where is she? He wanted to ask so badly, again he looked to Cinder. Never had he seen Cinder so perfectly still.

“I need them back. Not the children, but what they stole from me.”

It seemed he was suppose to reply here, a small, dry voice he hardly recognized came out, “Yes Your Grace.”

“Very good,” he heard the smile in her voice but couldn’t bring himself to look at her. “When you fetch those for me, I would also like your little gem’s life to come to a close. Do you understand me?”

His heart fell, without thinking he looked up to Salem, “You want me to kill her?”

“I would ask Cinder but she is too important to be chasing around a child- another child that is.” Salem’s voice was cool and Cinder nodded an apology before Salem continued, “But she does believe that you could overpower Miss Sustrai. As for the other, she may be out of your league but she is unimportant to me.”

Mercury forgot how to breath properly and looked, desperately for a response from Cinder.

“No use looking to your old master for help, you do not serve her anymore, you serve me. I want the girl’s life and the relic back. You understand?”

He had no choice but to kneel and reply, “Yes Your Grace.”
