Hello!I really love your analyses (I am trying to read them all)and having personally returned to the fandom after 4 years it feels like I discovered a hidden gem.
Since my favourite characters are all vampires and since Ferid is also one I would like to ask you what do you think the ending of the vampire race will be like?I mean with the way the story is going it seems that in the end all the vampires are sadly going to die either from the resurrection or with Saito finding a way for them to die as he promised.I would like it if they somehow get turned back into humans and somehow live a peaceful life but it seems highly unlikely 😔.I love Kagami for creating such a complex and deep story but since Horn and Chess appeared there is a high chance that Lacus and Rene will also and seeing my boy Lacus finally appear after 6 years ( his last appearance in the manga was in 2018 if I am not mistaken) to just die hurts 😭.
(I know this is a pretty complex ask and you are not obligated to answer it if it's too much also I don't know if you have answered this already so if you did I am sorry)
Hello!
Please, do not worry about the complexity of the question.
It is true, this ask is one that requires more thought, but it is a pertinent one that deserves attention.
"Hidden gem", this is perhaps the nicest compliment I received here. Thank you so much!
I am really glad that my analysis is helpful and enlightening to this fascinating story. I will try to attach all my analysis in the masterlist to make it easier to read. (I kind of lost track of them and the analysis masterlist does not have them all. Sorry for that. )
Now about your question.
The answer is a complex one, and I really do not think I can offer anything with certainty.
Thus, I will rather discuss the existing possibilities and any assumptions I have.
In the end, we will see what happens in the manga further. What is certain is that I am sure that the ending will be extraordinary and full of meaning, commensurate with this special story, and I support the author whatever he chooses next.
Now I will present my ideas.
In the OnS world, there is a lot of emphasis on the concept of "soul". How the whole universe is created as a "prison" for this soul.
Infinite reincarnation, without the possibility of an end or a meaningful destination for the soul. This is how human life works here, in a continuous vicious circle.
To me, vampirism is simply another form of reincarnation. The same impossibility of freeing the soul, the same immortal "life", the same lack of meaning for the soul, only now in one body and at the cost of altering the memories and personality of the human souls trapped in this form of curse.
Moreover, vampire souls, as I said, do not have the possibility to die. They can only pass into another "form", as demons. So it is about human persons cursed with vampirism, which in the end can only become demons. Still a "circle" type trajectory, without escape.
That is why, I think, that just as humanity needs a new "restart", a release from infinite reincarnations (which maybe the resurrection will do), the souls of vampires need a form of release, of rest.
How will this happen?
Honestly, I do not know. Vampire souls are human, that much is clear. No matter what form they exist in: mortal human body, immortal vampiric body, demonic entity, it is all about human souls in different forms.
And right now there is no Heaven for these human souls, under any form, you know?
From here we can draw the conclusion, that maybe if Sika's suffering will find a solution, and if Guren will succeed in the resurrection, the laws of the OnS world will change and the possibility of a Heaven for all these souls will appear?
But the answer is, frankly, a complicated one. Because it is not just one way, I think.
For example, the vampires transformed by Sika Madu are basically the reincarnations of his angels. And Sika Madu wants to go back to Heaven with them, from whence they fell. So maybe these vampires will return to this Heaven in the end? As angels again, or as human souls?
But there are many other vampires who are not reincarnations of those angels, like Ferid, Crowley, Basteya, Lacus, René, Chess, Horn and the rest of the vampire race. These were just people. So what will be their ending?
And there is also something else. We are talking about the resurrection, which involved the death of every vampire, either for the resurrection of humanity or Mikaela.
But from what we have seen recently, these vampires are not much in the form of "vampires" anymore. Hundreds of them have been ingested by Ferid and their souls are in a state of metamorphosis to the demon form in Ferid's inner dimension.
Here comes a guess of mine.
Mahiru Hiiragi, before becoming a demon, said something, "Next time I am reborn I want to be an ordinary girl."
I think these words of hers should be taken more seriously, considering that since the age of 11 she has had visions and nightmares including about the Apocalypse. Perhaps she knew that there was a possibility that human souls who had reached the demon state would be reborn as humans someday. Perhaps this is a consequence of the resurrection Guren is currently working on.
Mostly, I do not think Ferid is working against Guren's plan by his current actions. Given that Guren's plan directly fights against Sika Madu's purpose, and that Ferid is involved in this plan willingly, I strongly believe that the "resurrection of mankind" means the restoration of the laws of this universe as well. That is, including what Ferid wants since he was 16, "breaking that circle", of meaningless reincarnation, changing the broken laws of the world.
Tumblr media
Especially, Ferid did not say that he does not want anyone to ever be born again, but that he wants no one to ever be reborn in that " putrid " world. In that world of broken laws, which holds souls meaninglessly captive in infinite reincarnations.
Birth and rebirth are two different things. Or resurrection versus rebirth.
Rebirth drags the soul into a new life even if that soul has already lived a life. Rebirth leaves no room for rest.
Resurrection restores a life ruined by something, repairs it and perhaps gives it another meaning.
And if new laws are established for the universe, if the problem of infinite reincarnation in this hellish world is solved and Heaven is opened for human souls, maybe one good life will be given to resurrected human souls?
A life with meaning, at the end of which the soul has a Heaven where it can go.
And perhaps, the souls of vampires ingested by Ferid and turned into demons, as Mahiru Hiiragi implied, can "reincarnate" again as humans, now in a world that offers only one good and meaningful life for each soul, followed of the possibility of entering Heaven.
Thus, in this version, Ferid can be considered to represent the "gateway" through which vampire souls can get a chance to later regain their humanity.
And in the end, maybe the only vampire to die will be Ferid.
I think all vampires except him have had someone who loved them. Look at Horn and Chess, who are good friends in my view, or Lacus and René. Or Crowley with his comrades, with the friends he must have had in his previous life as Ferid's older brother.
All of them had love in their lives, people who loved them. And maybe that is why they need a new good life with these beloved people.
And Ferid, truly unloved by anyone, is the "sacrificial lamb", no matter how surprising it seems.
Basically, his greatest frustration is the rotten way his world works, its meaningless laws, the creation out of darkness by a corrupt God. And perhaps his happy ending is to die, leaving behind through his actions a world of meaning, a world born of love, something he always longed for but could not have.
There is a lot to say in this hypothesis, but what I am pointing out is that I am sure that Ferid will have a direct confrontation with Sika Madu, and more than anything, a discussion with this god of his, in which he will again demand the reason why everything is like that.
If you remember chapter 76 where Ferid asked Sika why the world is like this.
Tumblr media
I think Sika might be willing to give Ferid an answer in the end.
In a way, you know, it may sound strange, but I feel a great similarity between Ferid and Sika Madu. Such a similarity that it seems for me that Ferid is a reflection of the curse placed on Sika Madu.
I would go into a lot of detail, but I risk making this essay too long.
The idea is that Ferid longs for a world with meaning, that good God, harmony and the possibility of a Heaven, the breaking of the cursed circle on earth. Just as Sika longed to reach Heaven again, where his Father (the other God) was, and just as he was cursed to live endlessly on that earth exactly like a Hell.
Even chapter 134, the fact that Ferid's memories where we find out how he feels about reincarnation follows the panel when Shinoa tells Sika that she will see all his memories. Beyond the sudden shift in perspective specific to the series. Perhaps this is also a clue related to what I say about the similarity between Ferid and Sika, about the sufferings of both.
If anyone is interested, I can elaborate more on this theory about Ferid and Sika.
Now, in conclusion, I am sure that no matter how everything ends, the vampire species will no longer exist. They are a cursed creation born of the suffering, frustrations and curse of Sika Madu. This is how the first vampire was "born", from his negative emotions generated by the received curse. So automatically this curse has to be resolved somehow.
And with the vampire species gone, surely their souls will find peace one way or another. I think a balance will be reached in the end.
I also have an idea for how Ferid could achieve this balance. I can elaborate on this in another post if anyone is interested.
After all, it remains to be seen how the author ends this fascinatingly profound story. I have full faith in Kagami and I am sure that the end of the story will teach us valuable things.
That is all for now. I feel like I wrote chaotically again. Please come back with questions about anything you feel. This topic is one that needs to be discussed a lot.
Thanks for giving me the opportunity to look into it a bit. I had never answered this question before.
Thank you very much for the trust in my interpretation! I hope this answer was at least a little helpful!
My inbox is always open for such discussions. And remember that kind feedback is welcome!
I wish you and whoever finds this post a good day!

What in the LORD'S name have they done to my boys like. Urd is…decent, better than the others but less girly pop and I think Rígr stole his hair gel. but Rígr looks like he'd use the words "dating market" unironically and would tell me to buy crypto
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I've genuinely never seen someone so ambiguously bullyable how are these the same person. He looks like what happens when men get too much plastic surgery and get dangerously close to the uncanny valley

This thing between Ky luc and Lest karr is such an enjoyable mess😭
I know ky's real rank is really a question since Rigr was like "EEEEK, you could kill a 3rd with eeeeaase!☻️" and not to mention Ferid bragging about him about how 'great' and 'formidable' he is and stuff.
People think he's upto a 3rd but slight lower since he had no hesitation trying to cross lest karr (ch 105)
(My dude was really like: Look kid, My only lord is urd and nobody else😉)
Tumblr media
The way he said "Who do you think you're talking to😃?" As if he wasn't the same person who was TERRIFIED (nervous) to execute Krul who is the same rank as Lest and also LESS POWERFUL compared to him.
It's either that he's exceptionally skilled despite his rank or he's just faking his rank like Crowley.
My CRAZY opinion is that he once said he's the 'diluted' version of Ferid so I'd like to imagine him gobbling up other progenitors with Ferid for dinner to rise up his rank?👾
Whatever be the reason I need more of these🤡

How do you feel about your men and their mafia subordinates being so ugly this chapter, while Ferid is better drawn and more charming than ever?
Did Kagami finally demand that there be a hierarchy?
I mean, the author said a long time ago that Ferid is one of the most beautiful and until now there was no clear differentiation between him ( my handsome prince ) and "the others".
But now:
Tumblr media
We have " the ugly squad " vs
Tumblr media
This gorgeous and charming man.
Or is it a trick?
I mean Ferid is the "protagonist" these chapters and Kagami and Yamamoto are trying to make his redemption arc as good as possible haha.
ahaaaa...I hate to disagree but personally I feel as if Ferid's lost his charm as well😭. If you see him as the same prince as he was I'm happy that you do. ♥ But honestly if all the characters where drawn better (as they should be drawn) it would have gone well with the fighting sequence with Yuu. Instead everyone was so fugly this chapter I literally cringe cried the whole night! Only the best looking character which was Basteya who still looked pretty decent and kagami literally said lets just get rid of him since we dont wanna kill any of the main characters.
Plus no ones actually 'Died' since that old fossil Tenri!😤😭

I think one of my favorite scenes in ONS was Saito introducing the power of friendship to the vampires. That was very funny.

Something that I love about Urdie (among the many things I love about him uwu) is that he is logical and does not demand something from Lestie and Ky that is above their abilities🥺

what do you think urd, ky luc, and lest kart’s voices would sound like? like would they be deep, normal, raspy, soft, etc…? and what accent would they even speak with?
Hello!
What an interesting request,I love it!
Sure thing!:)
Their voices (Urd Geales,Ky Luc,Lest Karr)
Tumblr media
Urd Geales
-definetely a deep voice
-I have always imagined that Urd has some kind of deep voice but not really the attractive one,just the scary one
-like omg this guy is a second progenitor we should fear him
-as for the accent,I believe he would have a russian one
-I mean he lives in Russia so its kinda obvious why I believe that
Tumblr media
Ky Luc
-normal voice for an insane person,I mean vampire haha
-his voice isn't really special,but I do believe his laugh is some crazy shit
-like hearing this vampire laugh would terrify anyone
-the accent hmm......I think he would have a french accent
-idk why he gives me french vibes
Tumblr media
Lest Karr
-actually his voice is already in the S2 of the anime
-so yeah a childish voice as we heard from the anime
-as for the accent I think he would have a german accent
-like he is the King of Germany and he hears so much german everyday he's going to lose it
Thank you for the request and I hope you liked these!
They are just my opinions so there's nothing canon!

stay with me. - reverse! isekai! owari no seraph preview scenarios.
I'm writing the first chapter but some of you got so excited for this fic that I couldn't help but to give you a little glimpse of how I imagine some things would be. This right here is mostly just mindless fluff with a hint of something more... Regardless, I hope you like it!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ferid Bathory would become your university professor and he would immediately become an instant hit, but perhaps not necessarily for all the good reasons. Some are intrigued by him, others are charmed while the rest are just creeped out - he does and says the most random and craziest things anyone could ever think of, which really does beg the question of how he even got this job. You tried to get more details out of him but he is not budging so you give up, a smart decision really.
He would be intrigued by modern society and I can see him often debating online even if he has no idea what anyone is talking about. He doesn't really care if he wins his debates and petty arguments, he's just looking for ways to be entertained. The current politics are incredibly amusing to him and he wants to know it all. He adapts mostly well but since he has such an eccentric personality he still manages to look like a clown in public. Some people find that hot though, much to his delight and low key confusion. Humans are strange, he would think to himself.
As for the way he loves you, well, that's a complete ride of emotions. He says that it was "love at first sight" for him and be because of this he often bugs you of your whereabouts and with who you were with, and just to be extra™ he probably likes to leave random hickies all over you if he can grab you. He's acting like a proper lover ought to, yeah? They're supposed to be jealous, why are you getting so huffy with him?! Fine, he'll stop but not completely. All of your actions and reactions are very cute to him, there's nothing you could do that could turn him away from you. If someone were to ask what his favorite hobby was, he would probably say something like "I like to follow (y/n) around the city and annoy them!~"
He thrives off your attention, even if it's negative. Despite his constant teasing he understands that he's down bad for you once the two of you alone and how you treat him. He is annoying but you don't treat him like a pest and that's... sweet. Yes, that is very sweet of you. He's like child asking for candy, your words and touch start becoming something akin to a drug to him. He's curious to see what this new world has to offer but he's more curious to see whether or not you'd be willing to stick by his side no matter what.
Crowley Eusford feels a strange sense of nostalgia run through him as he walks around, especially if he comes by a church. He's often seen with a calm smile on his face and people are naturally attracted to him because of this. Small children probably want to play with him and chances are he will indulge their desires as he lets them use his big muscly arms like monkey bars. He laughs quietly to himself at the helplessness of these kids, they have no idea that he could tear them to shreds if he wanted to. In a split second this beautiful, sunny day could become grin if Crowley got a little bit too thirsty... But the warmth of your hand is more than enough to bring him back down to Earth.
He's not as needy as Ferid, but he does like to watch you. Again, he's not as obvious with it like that freak but he always notices even the most little things on you, always. He sees how sweet you are to the people around you, how hard you try to help him and the others and he appreciates that. He's a little angry with himself because sometimes he wonders how things would look like if he became a bit more greedy, just a little bit. He likes it when you hug him, he doesn't want to let you go.
It's almost like he's being brought back to life again.
Lest Karr and Krul Tepes are... interesting. Due to their tiny bodies they are either sent away to some sort of elementary school or are hiding away somewhere but for the sake of comedy let's just say they are forced to attend a regular public school and my oh my, does this cause some issues. Neither one of them wants to be put through this kind of humiliation but with one good, stern look from Urd they'll both keep their mouths shut. I imagine they break some furniture by complete accident because of how angry they get, maybe not even by accident now that I think about it. They'll play along after some time passes, hell, they will start competing with each other to see who can solve things faster! Cue them both running to you to see who was better but I imagine Lest would be a lot more vocal with his praises and complaints. Krul just sort of smugly says that such trivial and childish things are beneath her but you see the way she smiles whenever she bests Lest, it's impossible to hide.
As for their infatuation, this could be problematic. Lest doesn't seem to understand why you aren't attracted to him the same way he is to you. His mind has aged like fine wine but he is cursed to look like a young boy which causes him great distress. He probably binges a lot of romantic comedies in his free time but under the condition that he is alone. He doesn't necessarily enjoy them but he just wants to understand how human courting works.
Urd Geales is the first vampire out the bunch to get a real job and it'll probably be something really boring like an accountant. He'll get the title of employee of the month in the short span of 24 hours, everyone is in awe of his skills and intelligence. People pester him all the time and he may or may not help them out, it depends on the approach they have towards him and his own mood. He probably ends up buying a really nice apartment that is used like a base for the vampires.
I imagine he gets asked out a lot but he turns everyone down. "I already have someone in mind" is what he cooly says. It's you, you caught his eye the moment he saw you. He sees you as someone very intelligent and pointlessly kind. You're so weak and pathetic but he's into that. You're pathetic in a cute way. He probably keeps a picture of you on his desk and likes to steal glances at it from time to time. He is grateful for your assistance and wants to repay you in some way.
He also likes to stare but unlike Crowley, his stares feel a lot more cold. You think he hates you or just flat out wants to kill you right where you are standing which causes you to avoid him, much to his disappointment. He's a bit of a gentleman and he tries to spoil you with little gifts such as flowers and whatnot. You always turn him down though, always. You break his heart every time you do this.
Shinoa Hiragii is absolutely THRIVING. She became an internet sensation basically overnight and her main platform is TikTok. She posts the most random shit ever but it's so bizarre and scattered that it's hard to look away. She uses sex appeal and her cuteness to get away from the dumb stuff she does, probably has a ton of simps and white knights that defend her. She tries to include you in her activities but you're too scared to be seen by her pure monsters of so called fans.

Lately I have noticed more and more people becoming aware of the state of Western OnS fandom, the fact that it seems like much of this fandom does not seem to understand anything about the series they proclaim to be their "favorite".
I too have noticed this for many years and have an opinion about it.
Therefore I will express what is my perspective on the situation and what I think is the reason for this state of affairs.
First,
" Kagami strongly believes that if a person knows their strong points, they should just write what they want to write, because their every work will find its fans. He, for one, would still want to write about family and meaning of life whatever his setting is, while Inoue would probably still be interested in friendship and fun in any work. So even if the two of them wrote about a bank worker, Kagami would still turn it into a story about family and meaning of life, while Inoue, as he says himself, would probably write about how much fun that bank worker has after work in to pub. "
This is an excerpt from an interview of Kagami Takaya with another Japanese author where they both talked about their works and what they like to write.
The OnS author loves to write about family and the meaning of life.In the same interview, he says how in his shonen series he focuses on deep friendships between boys and how he portrays these friendships as a "family", like a brotherly bond.
All these statements of the author find maximum resonance in the OnS series itself. The whole manga story is about family and the meaning of life. Sika Madu is, in fact, the father of all humanity. Then each individual character has a brotherhood with another character.
And the manga series explores this family love, brotherly especially, and the lack of this family love, what are the consequences of its presence or absence.
Very little in OnS is about erotic love, romance. We only get two developments of this kind of love: in Shinoa Hiiragi for Yuu and in the relationship between Mahiru and Guren. These themes are touched upon here, the importance and consequences of this kind of love.
Instead, OnS treats the other types of love in full.
The Greeks classified love into four types: erotic love (romantic), filia love (friendship), sorginte love (family), agape love (unconditional love for God and God's love for us).
OnS centers a lot on agape love, and sorginte love.
It is about the love of God, about the lack of love of the God of OnS world for the people who loved him, though. It is about family love, the lack of that kind of love, and the consequences of such a situation.
Sorginte love and agape love are central themes in OnS. Because both deal with themes beloved by the author: the family and the meaning of human life.
And the whole story fully manages to deal deeply with these two themes.
But from what I have observed, the western OnS fandom is not able to differentiate between these types of love. For most of the fandom, any kind of hate or love relationship falls into the "romantic" category of the erotic. It does not matter what kind of love the author portrays, for the fandom it all boils down to an exaggerated and sick romanticizing.
All types of love are just "eros" for fandom.
Why this?
Honestly, I think it is somewhat the fault of western society for its hypersexualization and the perversion of the educational system, which no longer explains the existence of different types of love, but insistently reduces everything to "romance".
This can also show the serious lack of genuine affection in today's society and how the desperate need for it turns into a sick romanticization of any kind of relationship presented in fiction.
In the end, sure, I think everyone has the right to view this series as they want. But trying to understand the author's message shows true sympathy for a series and pays off in the long run.
Projecting one's own ideologies and needs onto a series, to the point of completely distorting the story and even discrediting the author, only perpetuates a negative state of affairs and does not promise great benefits.
Unfortunately, I see more prominence of the second approach over the OnS series. And that is why this fandom is so toxic and gives off such an unpleasant vibe.
However, this does not change the OnS story itself. As Takaya Kagami also said in an interview, as he will only write what he feels regardless of what his fans ask, the author is very sure of the message he wants to convey.
And readers who want to see this message, I think, have plenty to enjoy in this wonderful series!
Thanks for reading this and have a good day to anyone who comes across this post!

Hii! May i request for a urd, lest, krul, and rigr headcanons/what will they do when their past s/o got reincarnated and currently working as a high ranking JIDA member, then they met again in a war.
Thank you and have a nice day!
Meeting their s/o's reincarnation in the next life, but on the enemy's side
── ୨୧:urd geales, rígr stafford x reader (separate) / lest karr, krul tepes & reader (separate)
୨୧﹑synopsis :: a past friend or lover departed all too soon, never supposed to meet them again, though immortality will make that possible. it was never how they expect it to end up.
୨୧﹑genre :: fluff
୨୧﹑content :: gn reader, kidnapping if you squint hard, lest and krul are extremely rushed, not proofread
୨୧﹑words :: 2.2k
sorry I didn't end up including Lest and Krul in the way the request asked but tbh, I'm just not comfortable writing for them that way. personally I think I'd rather stick to platonic stuff for them if anything (which does make the title a tad misleading (_ _;) ) sorry I never clarified that anywhere (ノ´∀`*)
I might make a part two later with more characters, but rn I just did these four, I really like the idea though so I doubt this will be the last I write for it ♡( ◡‿◡ ) not me realising in post it said headcanons after I got bored and went with a scenario shoot me
part one | part two
Tumblr media
urd geales
he was sure that you were dead, you had been dead for a long time, having slipped away from him in your last mortal life.
and yet you were there, by the General's side as he barked his orders at you to fight, the spitting image of his love, turned against him, but why? Was it just the world you now lived in? Back then, you were able to live peacefully, you didn't have to watch your back every step or worry a monster might chase you back to the safety of the city walls.
it was just chance, and you were caught between the dismal life of livestock down in Sanguinem, and the life of a soldier in the Demon Army. That didn't mean it stung any less.
in a way, Urd was glad to see you strong, an unwavering determination, and apparently more courage than you knew what to do with. You held your sword firm, your hands trembling from the force you applied and the push back you got, even knowing you weren't a match for a Second Progenitor you didn't run. You stood firm to carry out your order, even knowing he could pummel you if he was actually trying. Urd held back, you could tell that much.
he couldn't stand there forever, and neither could you, but it was clear you weren't going to let up, and he couldn't afford to either. Even knowing the person who stood there was surely someone he once knew, in your eyes you had never known him, you'd slice him in two without hesitation if only he let you.
it pained him, and yet he had to. Gently, Urd reminded himself, and in a swift motion of his sword knocked you aside, not too harshly, but enough to leave you nearly sliding along the ground trying to regain your footing even as you stumbled over yourself onto the ground, it was gutting in it's own way, to both of you although for different reasons.
the smell of blood filled the air, he must've grazed you, or perhaps the impact had done it. If only you were who you used to be, he would've been at your side worrying over you, and yet he couldn't.
"General Kureto!" he tried to ignore you, even when he heard your sword scrape against the ground--you'd picked it back up.
if he could only knock you out, he could take you with him, right? You wouldn't have to know why, a vague excuse to back it up would be enough, and yet one problem remained, he didn't have enough arms to carry you, the General, and the Major General. Even if he could, he didn't have a reason to give everyone else why he felt it necessary.
you were a fool, trying to defend your General, who was not quite unconscious and yet not fully conscious either, teetering on the edge in a haze. Kureto couldn't defend himself like that. nor give you orders, you were on your own. Where was Aoi when you needed her?
even on your own, your loyalty lied with the Demon Army, and he couldn’t help but miss your warmth seeing you turned against him.
 
lest karr
looking so young didn't mean he was foolish, Lest knew that it was always a possibility he would encounter someone just like the Human he used to be attached to. Perhaps you didn't like that he looked like a child, didn't want to hurt him, and to him it was pathetic, he wanted to crush you under his boot like an insect for it.
he couldn't bring himself to, not when you were just so much like them, though…in the Demon Army, you were a squad leader, had people under you, several people actually one of whom was very insistent that you should not be underestimating him.
"It's a child." you hissed at him, almost like a scolding parent, disappointed in him at least from the way it sounded.
"A child who is a Vampire!" he tried to remind you, but you apparently weren't having it. Even Lest could tell that much, approaching him rather unbothered by it, either you had courage, or were stupid. Either way he wasn't going to budge and scare you off.
you were getting very close, and he was very greedy to have you coddle him just a little. Not too much, and he would never admit it outright, but in a way he missed having his head patted, seeing you smile at him. It was nice while it lasted, when he was so young it wasn't out of place to him, his head matched his body and things were as they should be.
he was too young back then to fully understand that you wouldn't be there forever if you were just someone he met at the market sometimes. You used to dote on him back then too.
"Don't." He said, though rather suddenly, "Stay there."
he couldn't let you, not now, he felt like a child ready to stomp his feet on the floor and throw a tantrum. He very much wanted to have you pat him on the head, talk to him a bit just to entertain his talking when no one really wanted to listen much.
if he let you do that all over again, he'd remember what it was like, and he'd miss it again. He'd wish you could always be there, maybe in Germany where he could see you whenever he want and let go of himself for just a while. Maybe. Not yet. For now he needed to keep up his act, remain prideful and just maybe he'd see you again some time where there weren't several people to witness it.
"I'll let you live, just this once. I don't have time to deal with you now, but don't get in my way again."
 
krul tepes
one of Krul's only comforts after her brother's departure was unfortunately not longed for this world, it wasn't as if you were particularly fragile, not terribly Human. Met your end in the wrong place at the wrong time and suddenly her dearest friend was gone, reduced to a pile of ash by the daylight.
she hadn't seen you in so long, how could she have? You were gone, it had been somewhere around a millennium, and yet now, in 2020, she saw you once again.
you weren't exactly the same, but she knew, somehow, she knew that the one who watched as the Seraph was released and the world ended all over again for the Demon Army, was you. A little bigger than you used to be, but something else about you set her off.
she wouldn't let you be killed again, definitely not like this.
there wasn't a moment's hesitation between her noticing you standing idly by in a complete stand of shock as the people you had known for the majority of what was now your life were sacrificed and her grabbing your arm to pull you away. "Come with me. Now." It didn't even seem like you could move until she forced you. Almost dragging you along until you got your legs to move.
you had barely even processed it was a Vampire who tugged you along let alone the Queen in Japan. Not for a moment until you realised and regained your senses to barely avoid getting stabbed only by the harsh yank at your arm that had you stumbling over yourself onto the ground with a thud.
"Get up, we need to leave, now!" she tried to urge you along, pull you up herself, remind you of the urgency. What was she supposed to do when everything was happening so fast. Does she protect you? Tell you to run? Where can she go that you'll be ok?
she didn't have time to think when she caught up to Mika, she could settle there, in safety. Even if she couldn't keep you safe, she could entrust the task to Mika. She knew you could protect yourself, and yet she couldn't be satisfied with just that--you could supposedly protect yourself before too.
even as Ferid attacked, betrayed her in a way though it was clear he was never truly on her side to begin with, and her consciousness began to wane, she urged you both to go, to protect yourselves, to be safe. You were still confused even when the shock was wearing off, it was just that you couldn't understand why a Vampire would save you, one of the many Colonel's currently still alive. Surely she'd want you dead, wouldn't she? Wouldn't it benefit her to see you killed by that monster?
she didn't need to say it twice, her unexpected though not unwelcome act enough to convince you she needed you alive for something meaning you weren't going to die as a result, at least not for a while, it would give you time to think.
"Mikaela. Go with the Colonel, and find your family! Keep them safe."
 
rígr stafford
he remembered the birdsong you used to listen to together, back when he first came to Japan, romancing one of his loyal little followers. You used to be special, and he treasured you too much to bring a curse of immortality on you. Did you hate him for that?
you had once begged Rígr not to leave you to grow old while he stayed the same, ever unchanging, and yet he wouldn't budge as he stood firm. Every time you even started to bring it up he'd stop you again, and yet no matter how much you changed he loved you all the same. When your mind went as you began to forget him, then your body as it began slowing to one final stop, no matter what he was there.
he couldn't tell if he regretted that, or if his wondering was just the product of the person who stood before him.
by all accounts it was you, there were no way it couldn't be, right? And yet you barely reacted to him much at all. There was no kiss, asking where he'd been and what kept him so long, where he'd get to feel your head rest against his shoulder when you laid together just one last time before you went. Humans are truly fragile creatures, aren't they?
ah, that's right, you weren't with the Hyakuya Sect anymore-- you never had been, not like this. Despite the similarities you held a stark difference, the first being that you were no longer head over heels in love with him and the second that you had changed in a way, moulded yourself to your new title--and quite an impressive one at that--you were more than just in the army, you could pull rank.
he'd never be able to win you over like that, but seeing you again was nice, nostalgic, like finding an old photograph tucked away in storage of a fond memory long passed.
he didn't speak to you at all, just acknowledged you when he passed you, and you watched him with a great sense of suspicion. Rígr could tell you didn't trust what he was doing, and yet you allowed it in favour of watching him carefully.
watching, waiting, but there was nothing.
it wasn't until your curiosity got the better of you that you reluctantly agreed to help Ferid with whatever he was doing, and suddenly you were wandering another war zone. It was different to the one you encountered before, save for the overrun of death and fighting. The Hyakuya Sect and the Demon Army, you wouldn't stop them, you likely couldn't either. What's to say they would listen?
the other thing that didn't change was the man you were looking for. Who was he? Who knows, but it would be nice if Ferid stopped calling him Papa, that was enough to know you weren't exactly what one might call keen to find him sprawled in an alley in what could only be described as dismantled, ripped at the seams and taken apart.
on the contrary he was quite glad to see you again, standing over him, even if you looked at him like trash on the floor. It was as if you wanted to stab him clean through with the weapon kept sheathed at your side, and he'd let you if only to see you satisfied.
but when all was said and done you were far from standing over him, clawing at the chains around your leg with more desperation than you knew you had in you. Getting taken hostage would be bad, becoming livestock, being out in a place like Sanguinem. You'd seen what it looked like there, even without your help it was a hellhole.
"Let go!" he wouldn't, he wouldn't let go, wouldn't let up at all even when Crowley and Ferid were long gone without you. He clearly didn't have much strength, and yet he used it all to secure one thing as you were unceremoniously dragged back from the place you'd managed to squirm to in one swift movement.
you were strong, you had to be, and yet even for you some opponents were too much. There had never been Vampires so strong in Japan, at least not ones that showed themselves to fight.
"You got away the first time, but you won't end up quite so lucky again."
