A Killer's Whisper Part 1

She could see it.

Docking Bay E56 stretched out like a ghost town from where she stood above it. Cargo containers, cots, chairs, and other things that could be used as temporary beds littered the rooms that had been sectioned off. This dock was being repurposed, like many others, for civilian housing. That however, wasn't why she as here. A slight movement signaled that the final stage was about to begin: the medium blue skin of an asari's scalp came into view, and so did the metallic carapaces of the turians flanking her.

Jona Sederis, dressed in a science uniform, paused as she cleared the security curtain. She'd gone through the grid, and there had been no complications, but something was wrong...

She was smiling.

Eyes that had been dulled by her time behind bars sparked with mischief as she took in the sight before her. She even went so far as to release a long, and overly dramatic, sigh of relief.

"Your shuttle will be along in a moment." One of the turians said stiffly before turning to leave. "We're locking the elevator down behind us."

"Oh," Jona didn't even bother to turn around. "There will be little need for that."

Two shots were heard.

The two C-Sec officers that had been escorting her fell to the floor. They hadn't stood a chance.

The sound of a door closing and a lift taking back off was just heard over Sederis' light laughter.

For the next several minutes, Jona simply used the time to walk around the dock and stretch her legs. Confined to a small cell with maximum security hadn't done her many favors, save for completely unhinging her, and everyone knew that. No, the fact that a deal had been put into place to free her had been astounding. Aria T'Loak, the Pirate Queen of Omega, had orchestrated this little game, and it was about to come to a close. Many people had thought that she had played Seryna Shepard for a fool, used her like a pawn, to get what she wanted. They were wrong.

Shepard may have played the part of pawn well, but she was no fool.

That much, Wasea knew.

Drumming her fingertips lightly on the metal railing, the former Eclipse captain watched her target as she returned to the head of the dock. Within a short time, a shuttle would come and land on the pad below. Jona was then expected to take the stairs down to it and leave the Citadel. She had even managed to have a ship waiting in the fringes of the Widow system.

A pity she wouldn't make it that far.

"You put on quite the show, Jona. It was almost convincing..."

The reaction to Wasea's words was almost comical. Jona turned on her heel, her eyes searching the upper levels of the dock, and when she found the source of the offending words, she tried to recover and regain her smug sense of confidence.

"Powerful words coming from a dead woman." She drawled. "But stop pretending to be so high and mighty. I know you better than that."

"What you know about me is smaller than the amount of self-worth your weak-willed toadie possesses." Wasea waved off the comment. "But," She added as she vaulted over the railing. "I will humour you."

Her movements were slow and deliberate. Vaulting over the railing, her biotics acted as a buffer and slowed her rate of descent. When Wasea landed, it was a few meters away from Jona, but she didn't give the Eclipse leader any ground. Each step she took served as a reminder that they were finally on even footing.

"Must have been something significant to leave you waiting so patiently." Jona went on in that same, taunting, voice. "Or is it just a want to see me in person? If so, I admit, I'm flattered."

"It must be nice to fall for your own bullshit without the need for landing gear." Wasea stopped and crossed her arms. "Then again, when you're the lowest that society has to offer, you don't have far to fall."

"You're funny. It's been a while since I've actually laughed." Jona rolled her eyes then. "But enough of this. You're here because you want something. Talk. My time is, once again, valuable."

"What little you have left." Wasea didn't wait for the retort that would follow her comment. "If you want to make this brief, then fine: I want a name."

"You'll have to be more specific."

"I'm sure you know the one I mean." Letting her barrier go up just slightly, so that it was more visible, Wasea advanced. "If I must spell it out, I want the name of the one who put a price on my head."

"Oh that." Jona waved a hand as if it were a request for a knitting pattern. "All of those years in society's filth must have really messed with your head. If you think I would just give that up so quickly..."

"I knew you had no intention of making it that simple." Wasea picked up a blank datapad ana activated it with a flourish. After syncing it with her omni tool, she looked over its feed and nodded. "No, I knew it would require a deft touch." She said the last words with a slight pause. This left Jona to blink.

"And what, may I ask, do you mean by that?"

"Diplomacy wasn't your strong suit, Jona. Everyone who ever knew you knew that." Wasea said simply as she handed over the datapad. "Go on, tell me what you see here."

Jona glanced over the datapad's contents. Eyes that had been sparking with confidence narrowed in concentration as the numbers began to make sense. She was looking at the bulk of Eclipse's assets.

"How did you get this?" She finally asked.

"You sound surprised."

"Just answer the question, damn you."

"Spending time on Omega wasn't a colossal waste." Wasea began. "While on the station, I saw the framework for your operations there. Advanced, but they were still shaky. It was only after I was sent to Illium on your orders that the real work began. After some time in the trenches, I obtained access to your network in the Terminus. From there, it was easy to get information to Archangel about Jaroth. He took out your excuse for an operation on Omega, and I was left with Illium's hub and the cache that Aria was holding over your head. The latter resolved itself."

"So you managed to play people for fools." Jona glared at the other asari. "What's your point?"

"Look again." Wasea said simply as she waved her omni tool toward the datapad. When Jona did, her eyes widened.

All of the tables were bottoming out. Eclipse's assets were being liquidated.

"What the-" She didn't have time to say anything else. Before Jona could even react, the datapad was smashed with a precision pulse.

"If there was one thing I did learn from you it would have been this:" Wasea said in a deadly calm voice. "There are many stages of diplomacy, Jona. When all else fails, even the air your opponent breathes is a commodity to be traded."

With one quick move, Wasea caught Jona in a heavy biotic field. Palm open in front of her, she started bringing her hand into a closed fist. Slowly and deliberately, the field began to compress, and she was pleased to see Jona working to stop the effect. When the discomfort was very clear, Wasea paused and maintained her hold.

"Do you feel it yet, Jona?" She kept her voice level and didn't allow any enjoyment to creep into it. "The strain?"

"You'll have to do better than that." Though said through gritted teeth, Jona managed to let off a pulse of biotic energy that loosened the hold the other asari had over her. The freedom was short-lived, but it was something.

"Oh, I fully intend to." Wasea sent a heavy precision throw that knocked Jona clean off her feet. She was sent crashing against a security barricade that was mounted to separate living areas from the main dock. On her way down, Jona used her own biotics to propel herself forward again and land on her feet. This left Wasea to pull her closer and then propel her backwards again. This time, Jona caught herself before hitting anything.

"What's the matter, Jona?" Wasea asked then; mockery clear in her tone. "Reflexes dulled by confinement?"

"I'm just getting started."

16. Criminal

Ukrainian version on Facebook

Chloe Bourgeois was sitting on her luxurious bed and trying to take the perfect selfie. But something kept getting in the way: sometimes the pole of the canopy fell into the frame, sometimes the lighting was wrong, sometimes the stupid phone saved the picture upside down. She could spend the whole evening on this activity, until there was a knock on the open window.

And it was very strange, considering that Chloe lived on the top floor of the hotel. But not for the residents of Paris - since recently there has been no safe place left in the city.

So the blonde dropped the phone from her hands and rushed to the sound. After a few steps, she stopped in the middle of the room, not seeing anyone.

But the window was indeed open. All you could see was a flat cut where the handle was and what looked like a small soap bubble.

And that caused Chloe to panic even more than if she had encountered a ninja dressed in head-to-toe black in her suite.

Someone even more dangerous penetrated her.

The first thing Chloe mentioned was her shoe collection. The girl rushed to the closet, but everything was in place there. It was possible to breathe a sigh of relief, but after the latest news on TV, it made her even more wary.

They never just come.

Confused, Chloe checked her dressing table, another wardrobe, and even a stash in the bathroom, but there were no signs of a break-in. She began to think that some fool was playing a trick on her, until she heard a metallic clang in the next room.

It wasn't her room anymore, so Chloe thought about it. And then she remembered what might be there, and ran as if her life depended on it.

Well, maybe not so dramatically, but prosperity definitely hung in the balance. After all, the thief had a safe there!

Only in front of the door, Chloe realized that there was nothing she could do against the robbers. Scaring them with the police was too banal, the hotel security was too far away, and Mademoiselle Bourgeois herself could not show off her black belt in karate. Her main weapon was a sharp tongue. And those who thought that it would not cause serious injuries were very mistaken.

The final choice was accelerated by another noise outside the door - Chloe burst into the room with a simply furious expression on her face. How dare they!

The couple next to the open safe slowly looked around, blowing away the smoke after another attempt to break the last layer of protection. A guy in heavy glasses and a cap hid his face under a bandana, on which all possible acid colors were mixed. The rest of his clothes were also conspicuous, and the most suspicious was the small balloon behind his back, dressed as a backpack. The girl next to him could have eclipsed many models from the catwalks, but chose a deep purple flowing suit with shimmering white details. She only held a phone in her hands - and it was thanks to her that no one in the huge house noticed the criminal break-in.

- Hey, you are there! - Chloe could not stand it. - Get out of here! This is private property!

She looked very confident, but the thieving couple just laughed quietly.

- That's how we don't touch the house, - assured the boy nicknamed Bubbler. - We'll just borrow some money from your dad.

- Monsieur Bourgeois doesn't pay taxes anyway, - added his partner, known as Lady Wi-Fi, in a sweet voice.

And without paying much attention to the witness, they began to collect bills, jewelry and all sorts of things from the safe in big black bags.

Chloe could attack them with angry fury - but then she would simply be put to sleep for a couple of hours with a special gas, the composition of which was a mystery even to the police. Or they would have done something else with her, no less unpleasant, because this couple had so many trump cards that some seemed like comic book superpowers.

- One day you will be caught! And you will pay for everything!

It was the only thing she could do - leave the stage spectacularly. Of course, then you will have to explain to the officers again what happened, take a photo with them and sign a bunch of papers. But let them investigate, that's their job!

And Chloe can always move to her mother in New York for a while.

- That's how we collect money to pay! - Bubbler got out inventively. - Well, let's leave a little for the wedding trip to the Caribbean, right, little one?

He turned his closed face to his Lady, who just squinted dreamily. Her eyelids were painted with fluorescent paints.

- With you - at least to the end of the world!

Old Friends (Hunter/The Golden Guard x reader)

Part two to Strange Things in Eclipse Lake

Word count: 4.5k

Trigger warnings: Blood, abuse, Hunter harm (sorry)

*******

Hunter and I sat outside the palace, laughing about something or another. It had been a long time since we hung out , especially now that Hunter was training for something he said was ‘clandestiene’, but we were always able to pick up right where we left off. This time, we were in the midst of a wonderful prank session.

“D’you think Lilith has noticed yet?” I grinned, clicking the fire wand from the human world.

Hunter laughed. “How could she not? It’s all over her hair! You think she’ll be okay?”

I snorted. “My aunt is so icy that she actually probably snuffed it out without even realizing. She’ll be fine.”

“(Y/N)! YOU BRAT! DID EDALYN GIVE YOU SOME SORT OF- SOME SORT OF FIRE POTION?!”

I froze. “Actually….that’s our cue to leave.”

“Oh, well I know a perfect hiding spot.” Hunter grabbed my hand and we bolted out, evading my furious aunt.

We reached an ominous set of double doors. I tried not to shiver….something about those doors felt…off.

“My uncle does this all the time- it should just take a simple spell, something supposedly beginner level? Basically, it’ll unlock it.”

I nodded and gripped his hand tighter.

“Oh comeoncomeoncomeoncomeon-” He mumbled, trying to finish the spell to open the door.

“Hunter, let’s find another option!” I pleaded. Lilith’s footsteps were getting louder, and I knew she’d find us soon.

“No! I can do this! I’ve gotta join the Emperor’s coven someday, so I have to do beginner level spells!”

“I wish I could do those…” I said glumly, staring at my stupid powerless hands.

“It’s alright (Y/N), I’ll protect you!” Hunter laughed, momentarily forgetting about the door.

“Yeah…I think I’ll buy a sword though, too. Who needs magic when you have the power of pain on your side!” I cheered.

“Well, I’ll still protect you. You should know how to use weapons, but with me around you shouldn’t have to use them!” He stood dramatically with a hand over his heart. I laughed.

“Hunter, you’re such a dork-”

“THERE YOU ARE! And of COURSE, the Emperor’s brat is here too…”

“LILITH!” I shrieked. “C’mon Hunter! This way!”

“Eep! Yup, yeah, coming!” He sqeaked, and again we ran down the halls.

*******

I sat on my bed and researched the Emperor’s Coven. Not to join it, obviously, but to see if there was any record of Belos's means of punishment. After seeing an old foe practically have a mental breakdown in fear of punishment, I had found myself worrying.

I threw another book into the ‘pile of useless’. This wasn’t working…the only things on the Emperor’s coven were ads. I sighed. I was getting nowhere.

Time to take my mind off things, I decided.

So here I was, sitting on the couch at Eda’s house. We weren’t supposed to talk out loud, as Eda’s apprentice- Luz the human- was trying to listen to some journal entry from an Echo mouse.

I began looking through Eda’s shelves. Maybe I’d have better luck with her books? I winced as my hand touched something wet…

“Eda, what’s this?” I whispered, pulling my hand out of a bowl of potion.

“Beats me- oh wait, that’s Lilith’s scrying potion.” She whispered back. “We use it to spy on and prank the Emperor’s guards.”

I nodded. Huh, maybe this would be useful… “Can I use it?”

“Knock yourself out, kid. And if you see that hand witch, BURN her. There’s still a bruise on my back from Eclipse Lake.”

“Thanks.”

I got up and slipped to the other room, not wanting to disturb Luz. I wasn’t expecting much from the potion, but I figured it was worth a shot.

But after ten minutes of watching the guards do absolutely nothing, I sighed. Maybe this was a bad idea. I decided to find a snack while I waited.

I returned to the room with my bag of dried ratter-tree leaves, a bit ruffled from having tripped over Hooty. I drew glyphs, doodles, comics….ugh. This was boring.

Bored….bored…bored…bORED….

“You failed at capturing the Moon Witch? Hunter, be glad you brought the portal key, for if you had failed completely ....”

I jumped back and hit my head on a shelf, before running towards the potion.

“I…I’m sorry sir.” Hunter’s voice sounded from somewhere off-screen. “But what did the Moon Witch even do?”

“Are you questioning me, Hunter?” Said Belos softly. A shiver ran down my spine. People who yelled while angry were scary, but people who whispered…they were even worse. They had enough control to not flip out, but you could hear it…laced in their words, that slight undertone that could strike you dead.

I worried involuntarily about Hunter….Dang it, why’d he have to act like a person? It was easier to hate him when his personality was just wisecracking and annoying me.

“You of all people should know how dangerous wild magic is…and yet you didn’t confiscate those glyphs?”

“No, sir, I just….I hoped maybe…maybe the Moon Witch could….” He paused as though he was realizing he shouldn’t say what he was about to say. He pressed on, but it slowly became a whisper. “Well…I thought it might be nice for me to….have access to more magic? Because…you know-”

A black spike raced across my line of sight, making a soft thud as it hit it’s target. I heard a weak whimper, so quiet it could have been my imagination…I felt sick. The image changed to a different section of the coven. I have to do something.

Heart pounding, I ran downstairs, nearly crashing into a suit of armor.

“Hey-Eda-I-gotta-go-on-a-secret-mission-BYYYEEEE!” I yelled over my shoulder as I left the house.

Palisman-Palisman-Palisman-

My staff zoomed towards me, nearly knocking me down.

“Okay. Okay, we’re going to the Emperor’s palace, okay?” I said, tying my mask. “ ….what do you mean ‘do I have a plan’?! Of course I have a plan! It’s….” I trailed off, heart sinking. I had no idea what I was doing.

“I’ll make one on the way.” I decided, hopping onto my staff.

*******

Hunter

I returned to my room feeling sick. I was honestly trying not to react to the pain, but I was trembling more than I wanted to.

I sighed and stared into the mirror. With the mask on, no one would ever guess how messed up my face was. Unfortunately, to tend to my new wound, I’d have to take it off. It almost seemed like I was taking my personality off with it. With it on, I was charismatic, witty, and confident….too confident, apparently, considering my overconfidence was my downfall, I thought as my fingertips brushed over the bloody inside surface of my mask. If I were less confident, I wouldn’t ask stupid questions. I looked back into the mirror, maskless now to assess the damage.

With it off, I wasn’t sure what I was.

But visually, I was a hot mess with it off. I stared into my reflection’s sunken eyes. Titan, do I always look this tired? I let my eyes flicker over my features, wincing at the new bruised gash across my nose, the scar on my cheek…whatever. Maybe they were unattractive, but I deserved them. I could do better…I should do better.

I sighed and sat on my bed. Why did I have to let (Y/N) go? I should have tried harder to explain how good the Emperor was. I should have tried harder, then (Y/N) would get it. We could have gone on missions together. We could have been friends…it would be nice to have a friend.

But no. I gave up on taming the wild witch, and now I was breathing out of my mouth because my nose hurt too much. Now I had a new, if temporary, badge of shame.

I stared at the ceiling, watching as the little red palisman who decided it liked me zoomed around. It brought a slight smile to my face, watching the little guy, weird as it was. It flew till it was tired, and landed on my head.

“Heh, at least you like me…” I chuckled. It was nice, sitting in peace for the moment. My nose stung, but still…it was nice.

KNOCK KNOCK!

I seethed. Who was at the door? Everyone knows they’re supposed to leave me alone when the door is closed! I rolled off the bed and slipped my mask back on.

“What do you want?” I grumbled, wrapping my cloak awkwardly. There was another knock.

“Back here!” Said a muffled voice.

The window? I spun around, only to find myself staring at…

“(Y/N)?” I frowned. What was the Moon Witch doing here?!

I opened the window, staring skeptically.

“Hiiiii~” (Y/N) grinned. I frowned, knowing that the drawn out ‘hi’s and ‘bye’s were kind of my thing- the witch was doing an impression of me.

“Y/N), you’re not supposed to be here! I’ll have to turn you in to the Emperor, you know that, right?”

(Y/N) stared back at me, eyes too wide. “Wait, really? Oh, shoot!” I rolled my eyes, and the robotic accent dropped.

“Anyways, I’m here on a mission.” (Y/N) continued.

“What sort of mission?” I frowned, trying not to sound curious.

“Easy. I’m here to kidnap you.”

I felt my eyes widen, words on the tip of my tongue- when (Y/N) started laughing.

“Nah, I’m teasing. I’m only temporarily kidnapping you. Borrowing you!”

“...I’m sorry, what?”

*******

(Y/N)

“...You weren’t kidding, huh.” Hunter said over the wind.

“Yeah- we’re getting tea!” I yelled, wind whipping through my hair.

“Why?” Hunter yelled back. I pretended I didn’t hear him- it wasn’t impossible. With the wind and the fabric mask over the lower half of his face, it was actually quite likely that I wouldn’t hear him.

“Hmm? Oh look, we’re here!” I turned back to him, gesturing towards the town in front of me- Atherport.

“Welcome to the head!” I smiled, dodging a giant demon I nearly collided with.

As I began our descent, Hunter looked around.

“Huh, I think I’ve been here before,” He commented.

I snorted. “I know, we fought in the town square. I had bruises for like a month after that.”

“Reeaally? I don’t recall.” He said loftily.

“Ha!” I grinned, hopping off the staff. “That’s because you fought me as (Y/N).”

“Wait, what? I’ve met you as (Y/N)?”

I tapped my mask. “That’s all I’m gonna say about that, Goldie. I’ve got a secret identity to protect, remember?”

“But- oh come on!”

I chuckled and ran ahead.

He caught up pretty quickly, giving his usual chirpy “Hiiiii~”

“C’mon, the tea shop is up here! Do you have any tea preferences?” I grinned.

“Oh, I’ve never had the stuff. Belos says it tastes like a potion that got confused.”

“...Your life is so sad…Luz was right.”

“UGH, Luz! Stupid little endearing human.” He scowled at the thought of her.

“Really? I’ve met her, she seems charming,” I smirked.

“Well, she isn’t. No…she is, and it’s her problem.”

I shrugged. “Maybe you’re just not used to people being nice to you.”

I slowed to a stop as we reached the teahouse, not missing the shadow that passed over his face when I reminded him of reality.

“...Maybe I’m not. You know, I’m surprised you’re being nice to me right now- you going soft, Moony?” He teased.

“I don’t really want to be rivals, but, y’know…” I shrugged, “Maybe someday we won’t be.”

He stared at me silently for a moment. “Maybe someday, yeah….”

I couldn’t see his mouth, but his eyes were smiling. I smiled back.

“Ready for me to change your life?” I said dramatically, swinging the teahouse’s door open.

“Lead the way,” He shrugged. I couldn’t tell if he sounded annoyed or just tired.

We stepped into the little shop. It was brightly colored, contrasting my black and bronze moon witch color palette, and the whole place smelled like something I recognized from my time in the human realm- vanilla. If I recall correctly, lunarluss produces a similar scent, but it only grows on the head.

I decided to steal some later.

I ordered myself a drink, and gave Hunter a menu to flip through.

“Hey (Y/N)- what’s angel’s breath?”

“An interesting substance that’s toxic to witches. Don’t get that drink.”

“Hmmph. Uhhh….how about apple blood?”

“Yeah, you can get that- you’ll probably need firebee honey though, ‘cause it’s pretty bitter.”

He nodded and went up to order.

He came back a few seconds later, drinks in hand.

“Oh, the honey is back there.” I informed him.

He scoffed. “I can handle it- I mean, come on- it’s just apples.”

I nodded. “Suit yourself…”

He shoved his fabric mask up- it still covered his nose, but he could drink. He took a sip of the drink and immediately shivered. “Oh my Titan what the heck is in this. It tastes like straight up poison!”

I chuckled. “Guess who told you soooo~”

“Oh, shut it, (Y/N). Watch, I’ll finish this. I’ll complain, but I’ll finish it.”

I laughed, taking a sip of my drink. “You have fun with that- I’ll be here, happily enjoying my lunarluss scaremel tea, while you suffer- Hey!”

He snatched my drink and took a sip of it.

“Hmm. Tastes like something you’d like- what’s that flavor….oh yeah, the souls of the innocent! ...I’m keeping this!”

I scoffed. “Absolutely not. Get your own!”

“Nah, yours tastes better. It tastes like victory.”

I took my drink back and shook my head. “Ha ha ha, no. Just add honey to your drink, trust me, it’ll be good.”

“Fiiiine.” He sighed and went to the flavoring stand in the back.

*******

We stepped outside of the shop.

“Where to next?” I asked

“Well…how about the Boiling sea?” He suggested, to my surprise. I thought he would say ‘back to the palace’.

“Okay! I love the ocean.”

He smiled. “Did you know that the ocean is cold in the human realm? Apparently, they play in the water- Weird, right?”

“I’ve been there before. You’d love it…the water is cold, the beaches are safe to walk on barefoot, and you can swim.”

“What’s swimming?”

“It’s like floating, but in the water.”

“Huh. What else did you see in the human world?”

“Well…instead of using magic, they used mechanics and electricity. Sorta like your staff, theoretically. And the trees are green there, and the rain doesn’t boil…it’s a bit more peaceful, but the people are the same. Good, bad, cruel, and kind…everything.”

“It sounds nice. Really odd, but…nice. How’d you even get to the human world?”

“Well…when I was a kid, my parents were hunted for being wild witches. When Belos petrified them, my aunt took me in. Anyways, Belos was after me because of something to do with his…I dunno, his grim something, so she sent me to live in the human world for most of my life. Uh…ta-da!”

Hunter stared silently.

“I guess the moral of the story is…wild magic has hurt people. But so has coven magic. So let’s just let magic be magic?”

Hunter sat there for a moment.

“WELL, anyways. Changing the subject. Uhh…what’s it like in the Emperor’s coven?” I said awkwardly. “I mean, you at least semi-succeeded your last mission, right? Doesn’t that give you….privileges?”

He shrugged. “I’m allowed to leave the palace so long as I’m maskless- so I don’t reflect badly on the coven. Um…most of the adults hate me because I’m a kid giving them orders, so it’s fun to mess with them. I have to try really hard to stay out of trouble, not that I’m doing a very good job at that lately.”

“What do you mean? You seem to be trying really hard…

“…I just mean…I’m here with you, a wanted criminal. One who I’m supposed to be capturing. But instead of making myself useful….I’m being selfish? I don’t know.” He huffed moodily.

I considered saying something deep and meaningful about ‘making your life your own’, but instead I opted to lighten the mood.

“....So…you DO like me! Ha!”

He snorted. “Gee, I don’t know…. ‘like’ is a strong word, Moony-”

“Ha! No take backs- you like me!”

“I tolerate you! Possibly a bit more than average!”

“It’s okay, I like you too- like I said, you’re my favorite rival. Plus I think we were friends when we were kids, but that’s all I’m gonna say about that.”

“Wait, what?” He gasped.

“La la la, pretending I can’t hear you-”

I slowed down, staring wide eyed.

“Oh my Titan.” My cheery mood was immediately dropped as I was greeted by the site ahead of me.

“What is it?” Hunter frowned, not seeming to grasp the gravity of the situation.

“Kikimora.” I muttered.

He stared at me for a moment, and scoffed. “Really? You’re scared of Kikimora?”

“Hunter, she wants to kill you, remember? She’s more unhinged than a…more unhinged than an…hmmm…more unhinged then a certain Hunter?”

“Okay, ouch. And also…she doesn’t recognize me maskless.”

“Hunter, you have a very distinctive voice.” I hissed. “Annnd, she has scouts with her…Annnnd I’m a wanted criminal. But worst of all…that’s palistrom wood!”

“Oh right. You wild witches and your precious palisman.” He scoffed, tossing his head.

“You have a freaking palisman on your shoulder right now Hunter, so don’t even start.”

“Hmm.” He was scheming something. I cocked an eyebrow, worried about what was about to go down.

“I’ve got it.” He declared. “You and I break in, steal the wood, you take some back to the forest and I take the rest to Belos. It’s a win-win: I prove that I’m useful, and you get at least some wood back, right?”

I sighed. There were so many things wrong with that sentence.

“You don’t get it. I can’t have just some, the forest needs to be replenished. In the human realm, they have this rule- when you cut down a tree, you have to plant another. Problem is, they don’t listen to that rule, and now their world is running out of forests. And if we do the same with palistrom wood, well…we’re gonna run out of abandoned palismen eventually, right?”

“Well I technically need all of it too! I can’t fail Belos more than I already have, so it’s either this or bringing you in. And for some reason, I can’t bring myself to turn you in- not because I like you! But because…I don’t know, but I don’t want to turn you in. And I’m being weak, and I really shouldn’t be-” He shivered and shoved his mask further over his nose.

I hesitantly put a hand on his shoulder. “Hey, well…you’re not on a mission, are you. Belos didn’t tell you to find wood, he told Kikimora- actually, for all he knows, you’re just…chilling at the library or something nerdy like that.”

“Of course I’m not on a mission. I-I disappointed him, I should have captured you. He wants competent witches on missions, not yours truly, but sadly he has to keep me around because of the Titan’s plans.”

“What about your plans?” I asked, staring him in the eyes through my mask. “Hunter’s plans?”

He stared back silently. “What do you mean?”

“I guess I mean…who is…Hunter? What does Hunter want? Not the Golden Guard, not Belos- not even the Titan. But this weird blond kid in front of me, what does he want?”

Hunter sat silently for a few moments before giving a soft “I don’t know.”

He broke his eye contact to look down at his palms.

“It’s hard to have a future in this world when you don’t have magic, so I never thought about it after I discovered my lack of powers. But then you and that human showed up…neither of you have powers either, but you’re both powerful witches. So I guess- No, no no no no no. I shouldn’t talk like this.”

“Why?”

He scoffed. “Why should I tell you? You won’t even say why you brought me here!”

I nodded, defeated. “Fine. I was hoping I wouldn’t have to say, but it looks like you’re more inquisitive than I anticipated.” I took a deep breath. “I brought you here because…well, it starts at the Owl House, of course. As things always do. And they had a scrying potion there that they used to spy on the coven- not for anything valuable, just to prank the scouts. But…uh…I heard my name, and took a peek. And I saw….you in trouble.”

He cringed. He knew what I was referring to. “You shouldn’t be seeing that.”

“Maybe not.” I acknowledged. “But I did. And we might be on opposite sides, but you’re still the friend I had as a kid, and the rival who was my friend for a minecart ride. And anyways, even if you weren’t, no kid deserves to be hurt by the people they trust.”

Something glimmered in his eyes, but faded fast. “It’s normal. You’re just being sensitive.” He scoffed, turning away.

“That’s the thing, Hunter. It’s not normal. And I wish you’d come with me, but I’m not gonna force you.”

He looked back at me, eyes softening. “I…I can’t, (Y/N). But…maybe someday. Maybe.”

I smiled at him as warmly as I could muster, and I think he smiled back.

“MOON WITCH!” Yelled a shrill voice behind me. Kikimora. “AND YOU, you’re the boy from Latissa!”

I looked up to see the hand witch standing over us. Hunter and I glanced back at each other, before he grabbed my wrist.

“And that’s our cue to leave. Byyyyye!” He waved, and we bolted.

“Where’re we headed?” I gasped, dodging a demon.

“Uh…The lunarluss gardens! Kiki is allergic.”

“Perfect.”

We ducked into the garden and hid in one of the bushes.

“You think we’re safe for now?” I panted.

“Hopefully,” He answered, trying to catch his breath. He pulled his mask down to breathe better, and as he did, I saw the full extent of Belos’s….methods of punishment.

My breath hitched. Hunter had a cut…although a ‘rip’ might be a better way to describe it. It was bloody, and I had a feeling it hadn’t been cleansed properly.

“What?” He frowned, looking into my mask.

“It’s just…” I tapped the bridge of my nose.

“Oh- right! Right. I…uh..forgot about that.” He reached to put the mask back on, but I stopped him.

“No- Hunter, that’s gonna get infected. I have healing supplies in my bag- can I please fix it?”

He nodded slowly.

“Thank you.” I reached for the cleaning potion for open wounds. “Here. This is gonna sting a bit, okay?’

“Okay.” He breathed, staring at the fabric I had soaked with potion. He flinched as I pressed it on, but held still for the most part.

“You’re doing great. Now just hold that on there for a moment while I grab the ointment and bandage, please.”

I poured a bit of ointment on, before finally putting on the bandage.

“Better?” I said softly.

“...Yeah, actually. Um….thanks.” He smiled back at me.

“Of course.”

There was a comfortable silence that settled over us, one that was quickly broken by the steps of coven scouts entering the garden.

Hunter scowled. “Seriously- there’s never a dull moment with you wild witches.”

I sighed. “Brilliant. Alright, out of the bushes-”

Hunter nodded. “We’ll run for it. Once we’ve outrun them, we should be able to escape with your staff.”

“Great.”

He grabbed my hand. “Three, two, one-”

And we ran again. Out of the bushes and away from the scouts…and we would have made it had Kikimora not been waiting at the exit to the garden.

“There you are, fools- you thought you could hide from your Emperor? That’s treason, you know!”

Hunter looked back at me helplessly and gripped my hand tighter. I tried to hide my nervousness. The scouts were behind us now…we were surrounded.

Kikimora moved forwards towards me, perched on her abomination.

“Now, won’t the Emperor be pleased to discover the identity of the fabled ‘Moon Witch’? Abomination, take it.”

A heavy hand pulled my mask until the strings snapped. My hands flew to my eyes, unwilling to let them find (Y/N).

“Ah, frightened, Moon Witch?”

“Obviously,” I said dryly. “You practically have my friend and I at gunpoint, so no, I’m not exactly cheerful.”

“Boy, does your friend have no sense?”

“Not really.” Hunter answered. “But luckily, neither do I!”

There was the sound of an explosion, and a hand grabbed my wrist.

“Comeoncomeoncomeoncomeon- oh Titan I’m an idiot-”

I let my hand drop and looked around. We were running again.

“Hunter, what did you do?”

“Uh…wild magic.”

I grinned. “How’d you manage to do that?”

“Well…I saw your glyphs from earlier, and just…drew one on the ground. And it…ah..Might have been fire.”

“Awesome.” I grinned.

“Belos had better not find out.” He sighed. “Oh, and (Y/N)...here.” He handed me a strip of fabric. “I don’t want to see your identity if you don’t want me to, so…”

I shrugged. “Actually, I think…I don’t mind anymore. Just…Belos had better not find out.”

“Well…maybe he won’t. After all, we’re just (Y/N) and Hunter, two completely normal teenagers- it’s The Moon Witch and The Golden Guard who don’t get along.”

I smiled. “Well then…feel free to turn around.”

He looked over his shoulder as we ran, and met my eyes. Then he turned around and scoffed.

“This isn’t fair. I get your face reveal while you look cool and pretty, and you get my face reveal while I’m getting captured.”

I laughed. “All's fair in love and war,”

“Uh…what?”

“Sorry, just a human thing. Now c’mon, my staff is somewhere around here- ah, here she is.”

We hopped on and flew away just as the scouts caught up.

“So, where to next?” Hunter said, to my surprise.

“Oh, I thought you wanted to go back to the castle.” I shrugged.

“Yeah, I guess you’re right…I don’t know.”

I smiled lightly. “Unless you wanna have a sleepover- that’s to say, Luz planned a sleepover at The Owl House, so that’s where I’m headed after this.”

“Do you think they’d let me come?” He whispered.

“Do you think you’d stay Hunter and not report everyone back to the Emperor?”

“Yes! I-I mean..sure.” He coughed, failing to hide his enthusiasm.

“Then yeah. Just don’t provoke Eda, call Luz names, ooh- don’t make eye contact with Hooty, there’s an important one…Oh, I’ll just give you the rest once we get there.”

I trailed off and smiled. Maybe Hunter was a strange person for me to befriend, but I was sure glad to have him.

Note

So there's a blanddcheadcanons post that says that "Kara is the mortal avatar of Rao" and I really don't like it, especially in the context of SG 3x04 (The Faithful). At best, as was pointed out to me by a friend with whom I discussed this post, the House of El is likely blessed and somewhat sponsored by Rao, which probably doesn't do much but produce Krypton's greatest heroes, given what the word "El" **means** in Kryptonian. I'm interested in your thoughts on this (pls post your answer).

I reject the headcannon solely because if it were true it would mean Coville was right and I fucking hate that bitch.

In all seriousness, though, this is an idea I've seen a lot and I'm not a huge fan of. I don't know much about Raoism beyond what appears in the show and that which can be inferred off of the show. One thing I would point out though is that El in Kryptonian (while obviously being intended to mean God by the original comic writers) can mean Sun or Stars, and since the Kryptonians in the show are, as far as I can tell, monotheistic, and worshipped only one particular star, the El family is not necessarily named God. It would, however, signify their enormous prestige on Krypton and contribute to the famous El pride (or rather, arrogance). I’m not sure it would necessarily have to mean anything more than that-- that the Els are a respected house who have produced a variety of successful politicians, civil servants, and scientists. And (this time reaching a little bit) that they are perhaps so old and respected that their house name was once a title.

There is a certain allure to the theory, for sure. Kara is a paragon character. She always, always does what she thinks is right, regardless of the cost, personal or global, and regardless of what other people might think of it. She has a very direct moral compass, and there are only a handful of times when she doesn’t follow it, all of which involve saving Lena. Ship who you want, but it is notable that Kara routinely prioritzes Lena’s life over that of others given the rarity of that happening otherwise. She never even considered breaking Rick Thompson’s father out of prison when he kidnapped Alex, and all he’d committed was bank robbery. Kara has lines she does not cross (though murder is clearly not one of them). She is a character that has seen some of the worst that sentient life is capable of, has seen more death and suffering than most people could imagine, and she came out of it with an all-encompassing desire to protect others. She lives to give people hope. Plus, the humor of having Kara-- the one person most offended by the idea of being an Avatar of Rao-- turn out to be an Avatar of Rao is great.

But, I would also say that having Kara want to do good because she is the avatar of a benevolent god is reductive and not particularly true to her character. It is true that helping and protecting people is a large part of the core of who Kara is. But there is a difference between altruism and the self-destructive, bordering of suicidal desperation to save absolutely everyone that Kara practices. And to anyone who doubts the suicidal bit, I direct you to the season 1 finale where Kara literally goes on a goodbye tour because she thinks if she goes out to fight Non she’ll die. She still goes because she has hope, but that hope is that she can at least save Earth with her life. She doesn’t fight because she is certain in the ultimate victory of good and justice. She does it because she more afraid to lose another family than she is to die. Kara doesn’t become Supergirl and risk her own life because she believes in good, she does it because she can’t stand to listen to people suffer-- because she has suffered. To use Alex’s words in 1x13 “You fight everyday to keep people from struggling like you have.” Notably also in 1x13, Kara wakes up from the Black Mercy and her first words are “Who did this to me?” and then she goes after Non in what could arguably be described as a homicidal rage-- a rage that is fueled entirely for personal reasons, not the greater good of Earth (though that comes as an added benefit), which is.... not very befitting the avatar of a benevolent god.

A major part of season 1 is Kara dealing with grief and rage. She nearly breaks a guy's arm in episode 6 because he screamed at her for damaging his car, to hell with the children he'd almost hit with it. In season 3's Midvale flashbacks we see her first put both hands through a lunch table, then attack Jake when she suspects him for Kenny's death. She gets better at controlling it as the seasons progress, but during Crisis she very nearly melts Lex. Also not particularly godly of her.

Then there is the fact that so much of who Kara is is shaped by fear: fear of the government, fear of humanity, fear of abandonment, and fear of herself. In her civilian life, Kara is, for the most part, unnoticeable. She's polite, soft-spoken, doesn't wear a lot of bold colors or styles, and is often a pushover. As shown by her encounter with Red Kryptonite, Kara would not dress or speak the same way to people without the pressure of hiding her identity (though much of her dialogue is purely the loss of her "don't be an asshole" filter, some of it is stuff she had every right to say before and just didn't). I have always found that episode to be very interesting purely for the fact that Kara doesn't actually seem to be seeking harm on others so much as seeking their attention. Her argument with Alex is almost entirely about how much she hates having to hide and pretend to be less than she is. Kara drops Cat off the balcony and then catches her. She attacks the police when they point weapons at her but doesn't kill or even hurt them that badly, instead of destroying the car they're using as shelter. Red-K removed her inhibitions, made her angrier, yes, but if her goal was to actually hurt people, she could have done so-- would have done so, and with great ease. She goes to a public bar and uses super strength to smash bottles by flicking peanuts. Why do that at a crowded bar? Why not just flick potato chips at the windows in her own apartment?

This is Kara at her absolute worst-- but does she seek out the DEO agents who shot her out of the sky? Does she go after Maxwell Lord or Non? No. She tries to make people pay attention to her. Her most shameful and hideous desire is for people to give her respect. (Admittedly, respect gained through fear, but still.). Kara's a nice person-- much, much nicer than average-- but a lot of that "nice" is just her avoiding conflict to avoid attention.

Kara is a good person. Kara inspires people. But that is because Kara gets up every day and chooses to be good and to inspire. It's one of the reasons I enjoy Non as a villain so much-- he and Astra are Kara's narrative foils. They also remember Krypton and grieve its loss. They also were trapped in the Phantom Zone. But where Kara had the Danvers to convince her that some good people existed and would risk themselves just to help others, Non and Astra had Alura sentencing them to eternal suffering rather than helping them save their planet (through the means they thought necessary) and then landed on Earth and found it headed on the same path as the planet they'd just lost. Kara had people to help her grieve. Non and Astra were surrounded by misery. They lost hope. Kara discovered it.

Kara is the Paragon of Hope because she has been hopeless. Because she has suffered so much, seen so much, and because she chooses to believe in a better future. She didn't have hope her first time in the Phantom Zone. She didn't even have hope for a while on earth. From what we can gather, Kara's choice to start actually believing in the future was a gradual shift that occurred sometime after Kenny's death and has lasted her ever since. For Kara, hope is learned. She chose to hope and she won't let it go, and to assign that incredible victory off to her being a God is an insult to her growth and to her character.

Now I personally thought “The Faithful” handled this concept very well. 3x04 is one of my favorite episodes of television in general, let alone in Supergirl. Season 3 is my second favorite season, and that says a lot for its good episodes when the bad of season 3 is so, so very bad (To say nothing of the episode to episode production value, we have the waste of Argo, Mon El’s return as obviously he’s grown he has a beard Mon El, and whatever the hell was going on with Kryptonian genetic engineering eclipse causing witches). To this day I don’t know why Kara had magic dreams. The show did nothing to explain it and I can’t imagine up a reason.

But “The Faithful” works because it highlights the whole paragon part of who Kara is. When you realize that every person in the room of Coville’s cult is a person she has personally saved-- that hits hard. Especially since only a fraction of the people she’s saved would ever set foot inside that building with the totally not-creepy, entirely wholesome way they deliver the invitations. (“Your daughter is special. She has been chosen. As have you.”) It works because it focuses on how the average human must view Kara, the ones who don’t see her argue with her sister over potstickers and crush her phone when she gets mad. It works because of how desperately hard Kara tries to be a human. It works because the writers know that we, the audience, do not see Kara as anything but a regular person with irregular abilities: a kind and remarkably devoted person, but not a god.

#I didnt discuss it above. but Kara gets REALLY mad about Covilles whole deal #I really love watching her reaction to kryptonian artifacts #girl goes suspicion first and anger second #and it highlights her humanity #even as it puts her on a pedastal #Kara saved all these people but she will still tear her holy book from your hands #and scream at you for daring to quote it #Supergirl 3x04 #Supergirl 1x13 #Supergirl 1x20 #Supergirl #Kara Danvers #Supergirl meta #Kara Zor el #Raoism

[CN] 100 Days - Kiro (Day 51 - 100)

🍒 Warning: This post contains detailed spoilers for e-mails which have not been released in English servers! 🍒

What’s the 100 Days Companionship Event?

Day 1 - 3: here

Day 4 - 30: here

Day 31 - 50: here

Day 51

The game we played together has released new DLC. Want to come online tonight and play it?

Day 52

Each time I see delicacies in comics, I always find them especially enticing. Next time, let’s try making them together, okay?

Day 53

If I sleep one hour less and wake up one hour earlier, I would have two more hours to chat with you. The ancient people are right - sleeping and waking up early improves one’s quality of life.

Day 54

I heard that a new braised goose cafe opened recently. I’m using my gaze to hint to Miss Chips to hand over her resting time this evening.

[Note] I’m not sure if there’s a typo but I don’t think “撸鹅” (“lu e”) means anything? I’m guessing it’s supposed to be be 卤鹅 (which shares the same pronunciation), which means braised goose. Do correct me if I’m wrong!

Day 55

Today is an exercise “cheat day” - let’s have a sumptuous meal together? How about that hotpot stall from last time?

Day 56

Today, Apple Box and Cello each took one of my socks into their mouths and ran…. Only after scrambling for a while did I manage to leave the house…

Day 57

There’s a new movie to film, and I don’t know which role I’m getting this time. I hope I wouldn’t have to cut down on fat again…

Day 58

The days of eating salads are about to begin again… Next time, I’ll definitely ask Savin to pick a fatter role!

Day 59

The fruit flavoured milk I loved when I was young… as expected, it’s still just as delicious now!

Day 60

I helped Mango Ice’s owner design a perfect walk procedure. In the end, it didn’t follow the route and frolicked around! Technology doesn’t understand Corgis!

[Trivia] The last sentence probably doesn’t make sense in English, but it’s a play on words in Chinese because technology 科技 (’ke ji”) has the same pronunciation as corgis 柯基 (“ke ji”)!

Day 61

I swear - the reason why I snatched the last ice-cream from you is solely because I was afraid you’d catch a cold. It’s definitely not because I wanted to eat it myself!

Day 62

Guess where I’m sending you this e-mail from? The highest mountaintop of Loveland High!

Day 63

Why is your teddy bear plush wearing the same sweatshirt as I am! Could it be…

Day 64

The most amazing part of autumn is how it combines everyone’s happiness into eating hotpot and lying under quilts.

Day 65

Let’s watch a movie. I heard that the new superhero is modelled based on a stag. I wonder if he’d be awesome!

Day 66

I discovered that the most dangerous place is the safest place. Savin will never find the snacks I’ve hidden in his office, hahaha!

Day 67

Are you thinking of me? I can’t be the only one secretly thinking about you, right?

Day 68 (Halloween)

Title: Exclusive sweets

Ding dong ding dong, Miss Chips, open the door quickly! If you don’t receive the exclusive sweets, Troublemaker Kiro will definitely not leave!

Day 69

When one is hungry, everything looks like food. I even saw a sandwich walking over to say hello…

Day 70

I woke up early to play a game, but it was undergoing server maintenance. I’m so angry!

Day 71

The newly released sake flavoured soda is really strong. I’ve decided to use it to deceive Savin so he’d give me a day of rest to see you.

Day 72

Today, I reached out to touch a stray cat’s head and it didn’t dodge. I’m happy, and feel as though I’m the chosen one!

Day 73

I played baseball after such a long time. It’s a pity you didn’t see how incredibly dashing I looked.

Day 74

Perhaps it’s because of the season, but I’ve been feeling blue recently. The symptom is that I want to see you at every moment.

Day 75

One of my earpieces is broken. I suddenly feel so helpless without surround sound QAQ

Day 76

Miss Chips is truly my medicine. The moment I see you, I feel my entire world becoming sunny and cloudless!

Day 77

Your new hairstyle today is really cute. Looks like you flop around in your sleep too. I actually like that tuft of curled up hair!

Day 78

When will there be a legally recognised Eating Hotpot Day - the kind which lasts seven days a week?

Day 79 (Single’s Day)

Received a gift from a five-year old little fan. He used autumn plants to make a portrait of me, so today’s Kiro has a maple and blueberry scent!

Day 80

Today’s achievement: Anonymously posted a karaoke recording, and the comments reflected that “the singing seems to sound like Kiro!”

Day 81

I played a new game recently, and the main character is a hacker. In the end, he was fighting and killing all the way - we hackers are not like that!

Day 82

Do you still remember that pop-up donut shop from last year? This year, they announced that there will be a new theme. Looking forward to it!

Day 83

The script for the new movie is quite similar to the very first role I took up. Even though it’s a similar role, I’ll play it with a different feeling.

Day 84

Saw an old grandfather clipping an old grandmother’s nails. I also want to clip your nails once. Is that okay? I’ll definitely be very careful!

Day 85

Today, a stray cat was sleeping underneath the van. In order not to disturb its sweet dream, I decided to be fully equipped and ride a bicycle to meet you.

Day 86

Why can’t I remove the bitterness of black coffee even after adding so many sugar cubes, yet just one you can make my life so sweet?

Day 87

Everyone will experience a few meteor showers, a few solar eclipses, and a few red moons in their lifetime. I hope you’ll be by my side during these special moments.

Day 88

The sweatshirt you’re wearing today is really cute. I couldn’t help but place a toffee in your hood. You haven’t realised it, have you?

Day 89

I felt as though I sang incredibly well in the bathroom, so I recorded a section and sent it to you. Listen to it quickly!

Day 90

I really want to watch movies with you, the both of us shutting the curtains and burrowing in a small room together. Let’s make it a reality tonight!

Day 91

I’ve thought of an ultimate way to eat mangoes without dirtying our hands. Want to know what it is?

Day 92

You looked really cute when I caught you secretly listening to my song! Actually, there’s no need to do it secretively. You can express your favouritism to me unabashedly!

Day 93

Suddenly recalled those rocking cars which could sing in front of the supermarket entrance. Did you ride them when you were younger?

Day 94

Every time I cover your eyes, you’d call my name at the first try. Is it really that easy to guess?

Day 95

How does Savin always manage to find my hidden snacks? I suspect that he has installed a surveillance monitor on my body!

Day 96

Let’s go to the KTV. I want to hold a concert with you as my only audience.

Day 97

Out of curiosity last night, I bought a large pack of strange flavoured chips. I tried one bag today, and now I feel as though I can see little green men from Mars flying in the sky.

Day 98

In the future, let’s frequently flip through these sign-in records. Even though it’s a little shameful, I really want to recollect this period of time often!

Day 99

There’s a kind of liberating feeling when it’s after work and I’m in the car on the way to you!

Day 100

I wish to tell Miss Chips, who’s persevered in signing in over this period of time, that she has worked hard! Looking forward to the next game with you!

Hey so let’s talk about Shadow’s age. His age is always listed as “uhknown” or 50+ and while that is correct for his physical age I also want to look at his mental age. If course, being in cryostasis keeps you from getting older. So while Shadow may have been “alive” in the universe physically, mentally he hasn’t aged a day.

I put my thinking cap on and this was the best I could come up with. If anyone sees any inconsistencies or can think of anything better I’d love to hear your opinions. I’m open to anything really.

When Shadow is born he is the mental age of a 15 year old. Obviously his early development was fast tracked and he was expected to grow into his body overtime. That...didn’t happen as the gun raid happened a little less than a year after his “birth”. Leading to Maria’s death and him being sent to earth where GUN eventually found him and put him in stasis.

At the start of Sonic Adventure 2 Shadow is physically 47 and mentally 15. I know this contradicts some things said in the game. I don’t believe it had been 50 years since the incident on the ark. It made sense when the game was made, but when you take Shadow the Hedgehog into the equation it throws everything off. So I’m going to say it was roughly 50 years since the raid, but realistically more like 47 for reasons I’ll get into.

At the start of Sonic Heroes Shadow is physically 49 and mentally 15. Unfortunately for Shadow he “died” at the end of SA2 only for Eggman to later find him and set the events of StH into motion. I have a feeling at this time the doctor was on a robotics high, what with the upgrades he’d already given Metal. So having his hands on the ultimate lifeform gave him the chance to make his own “Shadow Army”. Highly detailed killer androids that could easily pass off for the real thing. Of course I believe this to have taken a few years. Which is why Shadow has physically aged by 2 years, however mentally he’s still that of a 15 year old. Considering he’s back in stasis...it’s just goo-stasis this time.

At the start of Sonic Battle Shadow is physically 49 and mentally 15. This is the last “major” stop I consider before StH happens. These events take place almost immediately after Heroes. Shadow is living with Rouge at this time who is trying to make him comfortable and struggling with how to...properly being his memories back. She’s also keeping him from GUN, who obviously want to get their hands back on him, but she has done her best to convince them he’s not the threat he was before and to let her take care of him. It’s here where Shadow finally gets a “birthday” and ages up...you know what that means.

At the start of Shadow the Hedgehog Shadow is physically 50 and mentally 16. Guess who’s back, back again, black doom’s back, kill your friends. Dad’s home and wants Shadow to hold up his end of the barging in a deal he wasn’t even a part of, but that’s what happens when your dad decides to make a deal with a deadly alien race in order to use their genes to make you. But hey, at least Shadow’s a little older and not any wiser. But we all know what happens, Shadow kills Doom, saves the planet and becomes the true anti-hero we love.

At the start of Sonic 06 Shadow is physically 53 and mentally 19. A lot of time passes here. Most of it is filled up by the smaller games. Rivals 1 and 2, chronicles, the rush games, those titles. Things that Shadow isn’t really a huge part of. (Mostly because I haven’t played them and don’t know his role in them hjgkdsha.) Shadow, having set aside his differences with Tower has been working in GUN with Rouge and Omega, operating under the codename “Ares” (a name aptly given to him by Tower). Insert Sonic 06 shenanigans here.

At the start of Sonic Unleashed Shadow is physically 55 and mentally 21. Another little jump once again littered with a few smaller/side games. Shadow...doesn’t really have any part in Sonic Unleased, SO it’s time to go to the comics! This is the time where the second lesser black comet comes to wreck house and Shadow once again has to exterminate his own race, though not without meeting Eclipse and having their back and fourth. This lasts until the end of Unleashed when the planet is put back together and Shadow finally bests his estranged brother in combat. This is also the first time Shadow decides to spare the life of an enemy and lets Eclipse live. He tries to convince Eclipse to work with him, as having another member of the black arms on their side would be valuable, however Eclipse chooses to flee and has yet to be seen again. Though he does still keep in contact with Shadow...however infrequent.

At the start of Episode: Shadow in Sonic Forces Shadow is physically 59 and mentally 25. Forgive me if I get any of this wrong, I personally haven’t played forces. I’ve watched it but I honestly can’t remember to details and I’m a bot too lazy to go back and re-watch it, that and I kinda want to play with the events of the game a little to fit my personal interpretation of Shadow a little better. By the end of the episode Shadow defects from the group (and GUN) to leave and find his own answers (as he does), where he is eventually trapped in a glorified virtual reality Null Space created from his memories and the power of the phantom ruby.

By the mid-ish way point of Sonic Forces Shadow is physically 60 and mentally 26. Shadow is trapped in Null Space until Sonic and Rookie end up being pulled in as well. Shadow fights them at first, believing they are sent there to kill him, like Infinites virtual reality showed him but is eventually convinced by Sonic that what he has been shown isn’t true. He leaves with Sonic and Rookie and goes through the rest of the game as normal. I also just kinda want to see them do a...triple boost(?) for the giggles.

During the rebuilding process from the end of Sonic Forces Shadow physically turns 61 and mentally 27. That leads up to roughly the end of the games, at least what we have so far, depending on the next thing Sega puts out. By this point Shadow’s story would diverge to the IDW comic but frankly I’d rather not go through that in timeline form, that would be a lot ad this is already long.

As of the canon time of this blog being set in the future Shadow is physically 311 and mentally 277 years old. He’s old. Really...really old. But hey, at least he still looks like he’s 20.
