Reuska’s FEH Headcanon Time No.2: Geir (Book II Finale edition)

Gathering energy to draw something bigger, let me explain why I hyped so much about the final chapter and throw another piece of my HC at you.

First, let’s sum up some info about Geir.

Geir of Dufansdarl is an OC of mine.

He is the original Summoner from approx 2 millenia ago.

Askran nobility, born to a couple of Askr and Embla bloodlines (but neither of his parents was the main royal line).

This union happened to bless him with a unique skill - to travel between worlds at will (aka open and close gates - combo of Askran and Emblan abilities). His special ability had one unparalleled bonus: he could actually travel to the mythical, unreachable “magicless” realm, Earth.

Scholar, blue mage, smart jerk. Arrogant, selfish, pleasure-hunting womanizer.

He sworn his loyalty to Askran king but when called for help during an emergency, he betrays his oath - as he takes his time to come (= Loki aka Lady Mischief came to seduce him to prevent him from going and he gives his bed priority). His absence has terrible consequences which result in the king’s death and the curse of Embla bloodline. (Details to be shaped)

The queen performs a rite to call Askr’s wrath on Geir. The dragon curses Geir and turns him into Breidablik, puts him to sleep in a shrine until the right time comes for him to undo his mistakes. He also seals Geir’s castle Dufansdarl near the border with Embla and generally erases all but vague knowledge of his existence. He keeps Geir’s cape in the shrine and through prophets creates a myth of the Summoner who would come in the time of need.

The curse re-shaped Geir’s abilities (since they came from an original gift of the dragons, Askr could manipulate them at his will). When Geir is awoken at the beginning of FEH story, his mind travels to Earth and he handpicks Reuska because she can use a gun, she has decent strategic mind and at the same time appears as a chicken Geir would be easily able to control.

Reuska is vulnerable in many ways but she certainly isn’t the type to get herself manipulated. Quite the opposite. Geir finds himself in a mind connection and constant presence of someone he collides with in pretty much everything. The two getting along is a long journey but it has invaluable moral impact on Geir.

He IS feeling guilty for his failure back in his time. At first he is in a state of denial and just wants Reuska to get the job done asap to set him free. He refuses to communicate with anyone else and tries to avoid any thoughts on why. But as the Order grows on him, especially the royal siblings who inherited the burden of his betrayal, he is less and less reluctant to admit his errors, to himself at least. He begins to change.

But he keeps his identity to himself - he would probably never tell anyone. Reuska has to figure out his identity herself and he forces her to promise she wouldn’t tell anyone. Alfonse eventually figures out Breidablik has a conscience due to him overhearing Reuska “talking to herself” several times. Upon him asking, Geir allows Reuska to introduce him but he doesn’t speak to Alfonse himself (guilt). And he never tells them his backstory.

Now to the point.

Geir functionates thanks to Reuska’s energy (that’s how Askr set things up anyway). They have no idea about this for months because he uses only little of it as he’s just “mental energy”. He doesn’t move, he doesn’t digest, nothing - he just thinks and “scans” the sorroundings in approx 30m diameter. Reuska does suffer from light chronic weariness but they both always connect it with her not being used to this new lifestyle.

Eventually Gunnthrá starts visiting Reuska’s dreams. She reaches for the part of Reuska’s mind where Geir resides - he actually protects Reuska from having nightmares, she would certainly have them otherwise. Geir can’t stop Gunnthrá even though he tries (he has no idea who she is). But seeing her reflection and listening to her voice, he platonically falls in love with her. It is a different emotion than he ever felt for a woman, genuine affection instead of lust which was his drive back in his time.

When Surtr kills Gunnthrá (the first time they physically encounter her), Geir gets furious (a mix of pain, hatred and all the other emotions connected with the terrible event). Reuska is experiencing her own share of strong negative emotions and the two synchronize through these in a way they haven’t before. Geir gets an access to more of Reuska’s energy and uses it to (sort of) materialize into a weird, translucent, glowing humanoid object that manages to buy the group some time so they can retreat. Geir can’t get hurt in this state but his consumption of Reuska’s energy multiplies several times so he can keep it up only as long as she has enough energy to fuel him. Which is not long. Any hit he takes eqeals to even more energy taken from her.

This form fades out soon enough for Reuska to not faint but it still leaves her exhausted, barely able to move. From that event on, Geir uses this ability to shield Reuska from physical danger he can detect (he can’t detect long distance shots as the shooter is far from his “scanning” range - and magic just goes through him) which is very relieving to anyone in the Order as it gives her an extra protection. However, everyone must adjust to the drawback - which is exhausted and even more vulnerable Reuska afterwards. She usually falls asleep within minutes. One of her guard trio has to get her away asap, on horseback usually, where she sleeps in front of them.

So what happens in the finale?

Alfonse goes to face Surtr. Surtr can be killed at the time but he remains a mountain of muscle fueled by the Flames of Múspel. He’s a terryfying foe, much much larger than Al. But it’s the Flames that are a real problem. Combined with Surtr’s hits, they put immense heat + force load on Fólkvangr, a load the sword can’t take and it starts to crack.

Another hit would shatter it and kill Al but Geir prevents it. He uses his “immortal object” ability but instead of materializing, he jumps at Fólkvangr and covers it with a thin layer to keep its sharpness. Plus he still carries the Nífl blessing which dulls the Flames. Fólkvangr appears to glow with a blue light. The sword is shielded from damage, which, however, means the whole load shifts to Reuska. So Al and Geir have only tens of seconds to finish Surtr off.

Reuska tries her best to hold on as long as possible but Surtr’s first hit literally sends her down to her knees. She starts sweating immediately, breathes heavily and her pulse jumps up at the verge of heart attack. She manages to force the connection to stay up longer than usual which is enough for Al to finish the job. But she faints right after and sleeps for four days. She wakes up again on a cart they prepared for her transportation, already back in Askr.

(I came up with the Folkvangr enforcement idea just like three days ago and I was trying to pick a proper situation for it to happen. I was tempted to go for the final battle against Surtr but the chapter just confirmed everything including Alfonse being most likely the one to take Surtr down. And no further fighting after his death so Reuska would be safe. All the pieces just came together perfectly ♥)

Darkness Awakens Ch. 1

Hello, hello everyone! Holy crap it’s been quite a while since I last posted a story, but I hope you’ll all enjoy the first chapter of this two (possibly three) part series. I gave a little teaser in the past, about a new OC and about how I would try to include the Night Class into my writing.

Well, it took a while, but I finally managed to get it done! I’m honestly really excited to see how this will go in the future, because I would like to expand my writing, especially for this fandom. I really hope you guys enjoy this story as much as I had fun writing it.

As always, comments and suggestions are extremely welcomed here. Also, thank you for taking the time to read this story, it really means a lot, so even if you don’t reblog, like or leave a comment, I just want to say that I acknowledge you and truly do love you guys! xoxoxo

"So this is the famous Academy? The one that almost every single wizard and wizardess was talking about in the town? It sure doesn't seem to amount to much in all honesty. And the gossip in town says it's not all it's cracked up to be." A young woman ended her sentence with the click of her tongue, clearly showing a distaste for the place,

"Excuse me,young lady, have some more manners! Especially now that you've been enrolled into this school!"

Another voice had entered the picture, and the young woman reached into her bag, unzipping it and pulled out a letter.

"Wow, you really don't know when to shut up, do you?"

"Why, I never! Such a terrible attitude! Why, I'd say you're just as bad as another one of the Night Class students here."

With a roll of her eyes, the young woman stuffed the letter back into her bag and began to walk, the muffling sounds coming from her bag made her snicker as she continued to make her way through the town. Unfortunately for her, she had arrived into the town at a rather bad time. The sun was high in the sky and so most of the townsfolk were up and about, causing her a bit of challenge, as she now had to attempt to navigate her way through not only a crowd of people, but also, through a town that she had not been to before.

As she continued walking, she made it to a clearing and noticed a large fountain and moved closer, taking a seat on the edge of it. Letting out a sigh, she took a good look at her surroundings, she wouldn't admit it to anyone, but she truly felt uneasy and nervous with the whole situation. Here she was, lost in a town she knew nothing of, trying to find her way to the Academy. Of course, she was certain that from the station, it'd be a straight shot to the entrance gate of the Academy,

Unfortunately, due to her arrival time, she was pushed off course by the crowd of people and had lost her way. Now she was really in a pickle. Just then, a thought popped into her head, and she quickly unzipped her bag and pulled out the letter once more.

"Alright, let's see if that loud mouth of yours can do something more than annoy me."

"Pardon?!"

"You heard me. Look, we both don't want to deal with anyone, longer than what we have to, so please, let's do a little cooperation so we can briskly part ways." The letter let out what sounded like a heavy sigh, before speaking. "Alright then, proceed with whatever question you may have."

"Right. Now you're supposed to help guide or give information about/getting to the Academy right? So I need you to give me directions to the gate or whatever the entrance is."

"Well now, young lady, getting to the entrance should be common knowledge."

"I knew keeping you sealed in the bag was a good idea." Just as she was about to return the letter back to its place in her bag, the letter began to speak up, rather loudly.

"N-now now! No need to be so rash, listen to what I have to say. For every new student being enrolled to the academy, there should be a prefect that will come to greet you by, or somewhere around the station. Now, considering the time in which we have arrived, I'd wager that the one meant to greet you, may have been caught up in the flow of people. Your only options you have now, is to either wait here and see if they mange to locate you, or attempt to navigate the way, by yourself."

The young woman looked down and huffed slightly.

"Fine, whatever, I'll wait here, but just for a few minutes, after that I'll get up and try to find my way through this blasted town." She began to gently rub her fingers on her temple, before speaking again. "This whole situation has given me a headache."

"Perhaps you should attempt to keep a level head."

"Ugh! And you're giving me the biggest headache of all, when you open that mouth of yours!"

The young woman roughly stuffed the letter back into her bag, hearing muffled irritated screams immediately erupting after closing her bag up. Her only response to that, was to cross her legs while sitting and hope that whoever it was, that she was supposed to meet, would find her. She waited and waited, yet there was no sight of this supposed prefect, that was to come and meet her.

"Grahh this is hopeless!" the young woman bolted up from her sitting position and stood upright with her hands on her hips.

"What's hopeless? If I may ask?"

A soft voice behind her, made the young woman quickly spin around and look at the figure before her. He had a red and white cloak draped over his shoulders, which held bottles, quill pens and what seemed to be quite a few notes tucked away in the pockets. Her eyes traveled upwards and she noticed his soft facial features, golden locks of hair and soft light amethyst eyes. He was quite the sight, and stood out from apart the crowd of people that she had seen so far. "Who are you?"

"Haha, hey! I asked you a question first." Huffing softly, she shook her head "You asked what was hopeless right? Well, I'm supposed to have some prefect escort me to the Academy, but they haven't shown up. Guess they're taking their oh so precious time."

"Well, to be fair, it was quite hard for me to find you." The young man ended his sentence with a chuckle and the young woman's face went a soft red.

"Wait....You mean, you're...you're the person who's supposed to escort me?!"

"That would be me. The name's Alfonse and I'm one of the Day Class prefects for this Academy."

Oh god, what have I done? The young woman felt her face grow hotter in embarrassment by the second and she turned her back towards Alfonse, hiding her embarrassment.

"Well, miss Onyx, I'd say we best get going. You still have to meet the headmaster, find where your room will be and where your classes will be held."

"Right...wait...how do you know my last name?" "Well, I am a prefect, knowing the students here is a part of this job."

"I see..."

Alfonse gave a smile and began walking away, leading the way to the Academy grounds, with the young woman in tow. Oddly enough, the entrance to the Academy wasn't too far from where she was stationed at, while waiting for her escort. The moment that the gate came into view, the young woman's eyes went wide, standing before her, was the massive building. From the train station, it really didn't look that big, but now that she was up closer, she just couldn't take her eyes off the sight!

Alfonse noticed her gaze and gave a tender smile, followed by a soft chuckle.

"It really is something, isn't it?"

"Y..yeah"

That was the only word that could escape her mouth, perhaps the gossip that she had heard from the neighboring Academies while in her hometown, were wrong. She didn't have much time to get lost her in own thoughts, because Alfonse began to walk forward, leaving her to follow once again, only this time, she remained at his side.

"So tell me, Alfonse, what's so great about this Academy?"

"Well, many things. For one, we have a Dragonkin as our headmaster, and another big thing, is the Night Class. Only a handful of students are accepted into the Night Class and almost every single one, is a prodigy, in their own unique way. Oh, that reminds me, Do you know what class you'll be a part of?"

"From my understanding, I was to be put into the Night Class."

"Well, if you're unsure, take out that handy acceptance letter and have a look, it should tell you."

"It's best for the both of us, if we don't bring him out, he's quite the headache inducer."

Just then, a muffled scream of displeasure came from inside of the young woman's school bag, she ignored it and kept walking along Aflonse, but after a few more minutes she was at her breaking point.

"Alright, alright already I'll let you out, yeesh."

The moment she unzipped her bag, the acceptance letter bolted into the air. If it had a face, the young woman was certain she'd be receiving a glare right about now.

"Why, I never! You have the indecency to throw me into a cramped bag, badmouth me, and have such a sharp and unladylike tongued remarks towards me. Yes, I would very well say you're part of the Night Class."

The acceptance letter gave a loud displeased huff and floated above the two of them.

"I see you two have both had some quality time with one another."

"More like he gave me a headache."

"The same thing, applies to you, just as well!"

"Listen here you piece of scrap pap-"

"Alright, alright, enough you two! Come on, we still have a little ways to go. Now is not the time to stop and fight, need I remind you, it's still class hours and I still have prefect work to do."

With that, Alfonse continued to lead the way, and a little while later, they had had navigated their way through the Academy, and were now ascending the stairs, to a hallway, where they were greeted by an exquisite door. Knocking on the door softly, a few times, Alfonse asked for permission to enter, stating that he had the new student with him. Once the permission was granted, he gently opened the door, revealing a very handsome and tall man.

His hair jet black, long and beautiful with many waves, his beautiful shining eyes were like that of a Siren's song, drawing one in for a closer look, and his porcelain looking skin only made the young woman think of him as one thing: captivating.

"Headmaster, here she is, the new student to the Academy."

"Finally, it's a pleasure to meet you Miss Onyx. I hope your travel here wasn't too bad."

She wanted to go off about how annoying the acceptance letter was, but instead, she held her tongue and tried to search for the words that she wanted to say.

"Not at all. I did a little more waiting then what I would like, but that was on my part. Alfonse here helped me out tremendously.”

“Is that so? I’m very pleased to hear that. Now, I ask that you bring your letter to me.”

“With pleasure.”

Grabbing the acceptance letter, the young woman quickly hands it over to the headmaster. The moment his hands touched the letter, it erupted into a shimmering mist of sparkles, right above the young woman’s head. Then, as if on cue, the headmaster brought out a a box and slid it over to her from his desk.

“The contents are the school uniform. I ask that once you leave this office, you go to your dorm room, change into the uniform and head onto class. I know that this is a bit much for your first day here, but today is a very special conjoined class lesson, and I feel that it would be good to have you take part. I also understand, that with it still being daylight out and with you being up for so long and traveling, you must be exhausted. Which is why, I’ll have you exempted from all class lectured for the Night Class today.”

“Yes sir, but there’s one thing I’m not sure of.”

”Ah, and what is that?”

“Well, I have no idea where the dorms are....”

“Not to worry, I’ve sent for a female Night Class student, who will lead you to the dorms. Do you have any other questions?”

“No sir.”

“Very well. Alfonse, you may return back to your prefect work. And Millie”

The headmaster called out a name, his eyes staring directly at the door, while a smile appeared on his face. A few seconds later, a shy and timid girl opened it up, she wore a black and blue robe adorned with little jewels on the end of the ribbon like ropes on the cloak.

“Y..yes sir?”

“Please lead Miss Onyx here to the dorms, she’s new here and she’ll be your roommate from now on.”

“Yes sir ri..right away sir!”

Millie turned to face the young woman and bowed softly.

“Right this way please!”

The two women walked in silence for a few minutes, before Millie spoke up.

“So, how was your trip up here?”

“It could have better if the acceptance letter wasn’t so annoying. Other than that, things went pretty smoothly.”

“Ah, that is nice to hear.”

“So...Millie, right? How long have you been here at the school?”

“Well, close to when the Night Class was first introduced to this Academy. So...I’d wager about a few months.”

“I see...”

The conversation ended there, as neither of the women knew what to talk about next. A few minutes, they endured this eerie silence, before Millie led the way straight down to the Night Class dorms.

“Here we are, I’ll lead you to the room so you can get changed and then we can leave for class together.”

Millie gave a timid smile and bowed softly, just like in the Headmaster’s office and led the way straight to their room, where Millie opened the door softly.

“I’ll wait right out here for you.”

“Alright, it shouldn’t take long for me to change.”

Just as the young woman said; it didn’t take but a couple of minutes for her to change out of her clothes and into the school uniform, which she thought suited herself very well. She fixed her hair a little and straightened everything out before exiting the room.

“Ah, look at you! You look well in the uniform!”

“You...think so?”

“Absolutely!”

“Thanks...”

“Alright, we should really get a move on, I think the one teaching the conjoined lessons we have is Klaus Goldstein.”

“Klaus Goldstein? Who’s that?”

“Wait...don’t tell me you don’t know who that is?!”

“Not a clue.”

Millie began walking, which prompted the young woman to follow her lead and trail closely behind her.

“You see, Klaus comes from a very noble family here, his father, Walter, is a big wig for the Ministry and has created a countless number of amazing magical tools! He has three sons, his youngest is a deputy prefect for the Day Class, and is always top of his class! He passes every spell and test with flying colours, and if you ask me, I think he could make it big in his future, it’s in his blood. Klaus is the second eldest and I hear he used to be this Academy’s prefect and he was an Elite Magical Knight! He was always top of his class, and he’s even made it to the Ministry! As part of his duties, he comes here and take on a professor’s role, and teach the classes.”

“Wow, you sure do know a lot about some of the students that go here.”

“Haha, I guess. I just like to get to know everyone better and find out things about everyone I guess.”

“I do have a question though now.”

Giving a soft hum, Millie glanced my way “Oh? What might the question be?”

“You said there were three sons right? What happened to the last one?”

“That’s a good question...to be quite honest with you, nobody really knows. It’s like he was wiped off the pages of history, he just up and left one day and never came back, from what I’ve heard.”

“I see...”

As the two of them walked, the young woman couldn’t help but feel closer to the one called Millie. Sure, she was a timid and shy girl, but boy, did she know her stuff. Not only that, but she was certain that she had made Millie come out of her shell, even if it was just a little bit.

“Oh um..hey..I never did catch your name y’know.”

“Oh, well, my name is Persephone.”

“Oh yeah? That’s a really pretty name!”

“Thank you...”

The two of them continued to talk as they walked to their destination and this time, the conversation didn’t turn to silence, except for the moment where they entered the classroom. Inside were a bunch of different students, some were from the Night Class and the other were from the Day Class. Suddenly, a roaring voice made the two women jump.

“I see we have two students, who believe that tardiness is acceptable. You two, can write a report after class is over and hand it in tomorrow. I expect it to be well written and appropriate.”

Persephone let out a groan and went to an empty seat, great, her first class ever here at the Academy, and she was already getting in trouble. She could only imagined what kind of other bad luck awaited her this day, but all she could do now, was sit and brace herself for whatever it is that was to happen next.
