#evernight's dream

(writing a blurb about other fischl despite not knowing that much about the background of the ein immernachtstraum skin lore. forgive me if its off🗿)
other fischl (who im naming night or something similar(maybe nyx?)) who maintains her identity as the true prinzessin but would throw it all away for the sake of the creator. night who can see danger coming from miles away thanks to oz and his ability to be her eyes in the sky.
her electro might not be as volatile as red's pyro but she can still protect the creator just as well as he can! (maybe even better than red!) seeing that she uses a bow and has oz, she can better fight the knights of favonius in long ranged combat.
when red comes back bloodied and bruised, which she knows is on purpose to get creator's attention, she gets a little jealous. why can't she get that attention and love? obviously she should be getting more attention, she's the prinzessin der verurteilung! the two of them are on rocky ground but for the sake of the creator, they're willing to (mostly) put aside their differences. (and she hates to admit it but red does make for a good teammate)
night and fischl don't have as much drama as red and diluc do but that doesn't stop her from acting superior to fischl. after all, who protected the true creator during the hunt? not fischl. thats who.
all things aside, she'd lay down her life and her title as the prinzessin for the creator.
- curse anon
lotsa talk and fischl lore spoilers below!
Ein Immernachtstraum translates roughly to ‘an ever night dream’ (and i’d anybody who actually speaks german thinks that’s wrong, take it up with google translate <3) so i think ‘night’ works well!
also, i went back to the event (shout out to the genshin wiki. genshin wiki my dearly beloved. if nobody got me i know the genshin wiki got me) and reviewed the dialogue from the other-fischl—who’s referred to as ‘immernacht fischl’ or ‘evernight fischl’ which is a useless fact but here—and have essentially gathered this:
‘fischl’ is a persona. we’re aware of this—or i assume everyone is? or was that info revealed in the event??—and know that her real name is amy. the event (summertime odyssey, part 3 for the dialogue i saw by the way if you wanna read it yourself) takes this a step further, but first i’ll quickly recap some fischl lore. i’ll put a ‘recap over’ if you know and don’t wanna read it.
so! as i said, ‘fischl’ as we know her is actually amy. fischl is a character from an obscure book series titled “Flowers for Princess Fischl.” now, this princess fischl is the one that rules over the immernachtreich, this princess fischl is the one with a soulbond with a raven familiar and an entire kingdom.
amy, as a child, read these books and was, expectedly, a massive fan. her parents played along, calling her ‘fischl’ and playing into the essentially very advanced roleplay. as she grew up, she kept with this persona, even as she—i assume, her lore was a bit vague—was bullied for this persona. but her parents didn’t really say anything, and were assumedly supportive.
however, on her 14th birthday, when she went to her parents for comfort after another round of bullying, they said that she needed to drop the act. she was incredibly upset by this, naturally, and went to the library to console herself with her favorite books. that night, she received both her vision and oz.
(and then they had dinner with her parents and oz complimented her parents’ beans which is hilarious as a sentence)
recap done!
now, the ‘immernacht fischl’ is essentially the actual fischl, not amy. she’s a manifestation of all of amy’s insecurities, in essence, and in the event oz actually switches sides because, to paraphrase, “isn’t she my master too?”
all of this to say that night, the personification of ein immernachtstraum, which is the outfit that the immernacht fischl wore, is essentially the real fischl that amy has based her entire identity off of.
to finally get to your point: you are 100% correct on everything. night is better for long range, and fischl in canon can see through oz’s eyes so i assume the same for night, so she’s better for reconnaissance and looking out for threats. her and red make for a powerful overload team, but she’s 1000% jealous of the attention you pay to him. she never gets such injuries because she’s significantly less tanky, has less combat experience most likely, and is long-range, but she feels like it might be worth it to have you dote on her.
her and fischl have significantly less animosity than red and diluc, but there’s a fairly large caveat. whereas red hates diluc for his choice of priorities (and for the hunt) and diluc hates red because 1) he fuckin growled at him when they first met what the fuck 2) red just isn’t a good guy to anybody but you, night and fischl have a more one sided sort of hate.
fischl hates night. she views herself as the real fischl, and oz doesn’t even recognize night as the (a?) princess! there’s something severely wrong here, and she hates it.
but night could not give less of a fuck about fischl. she does not care. she views her as a cheap copy, one not worth paying any mind to. why would she? she has everything, and fischl had to make up what she has. she has the real ozvaldo hrafnavins, she rules over the real immernachtreich, and she had all of them since the moment she was brought to life by you. she doesn’t need a vision to give her copies- psh, its an insult to imply she’d ever be jealous.
oh, and to clarify the point i made about her being an illusionist: in the event, fischl’s domain—it’s hard to explain, but each of the characters involved had their personal domain like based off of them—involved a lot of perspective tricks! so i figured night would be able to make illusions with electro, or be able to manipulate her surroundings in impossible ways via said perspective tricks. i’m thinking of her like holding a pebble up to her eye and with a flash of magic, suddenly it’s a boulder blocking off the hunters’ path! her and morax make for a team when trying to cut off the hunters, and her and barbatos can be clever together to get you out of sticky situations.
oh, but of course, since she is a princess, she has an incredibly strong sense of loyalty. her and oz are more than willing to lay down their lives for you—but then again, so are the others.

make me your villain - collab
Tumblr media
If you’ve ever wondered how the story might have ended differently if the villain got the girl, you’ve come to the right place.

Odd Moon-related Connections in Genshin Lore
- Glaze Lillies and Nilotpala Lotuses only bloom at night
- Glaze Lillies may have been the favorite flower of Guizhong, who’s hair was grey/white and who’s outfit had stardust on it (she was the god of dust, so unless she was a god of stardust specifically that’s some odd things about her)
- Nilotpala Lotuses bloomed at the bleeding feet of the Goddess of Flowers after being cast out of Heaven in the wake of the Seelie disaster
- There is at least one account in Sumeru that claims Liloupar came to the people in a moonbeam. Quote: “Our prayers to the Goddess of Flowers have borne fruit. Her envoy came to us in a moonbeam, granting us life-saving medicine and clean water … …She called herself Liloupar, born of the lilies” and later in that same passage, Quote: “At moonrise, she warned us that the water from the canal may carry disease.” So many mentions of the moon in one text about Liloupar and her relation to the Goddess of Flowers.
- Seelies seem to have a moonlit sky with sparse clouds reflected in their bodies, the bright orb in their heads looks like a moon.
- Guizhong’s death produced a cloud of dust that blocks out the sky and creates a darkened area in Liyue.
- Istaroth was said to be responsible for the Sin Shades, who only show up in Evernight in the dark.
- Nahida has some moon connections in her titles, and she has white hair and pale skin, like Paimon, who has a starry pattern on her scarf like Guizhong had on her robes.
- The Goddess of Flowers built a city for her offspring, the Jinn, and she called it Ay-Khanoum, translated to English that’s the City of the Moon Maiden.
- You can link the mythologies of the Goddess of Flowers and King Deshret to King Solomon and Astarte, who was a version of Ishtar, who is the root for the name Istaroth
- The power of the Aranara is the power of dreams, they exist in the dreamscape. And with how much we use a harp to connect with Aranara, it’s just as likely that music is linked to dreams. And Venti, one of Istaroth’s thousand winds, is a bard who knows all songs past and future, and plays a harp.
- The moon sisters were named Aria, Sonnet, and Canon, literally musical terminology.
- There’s probably a connection between the three moon sisters and Teyvat’s concepts of Time, Memory, and Dreams
- One of Venti’s powers is that he can pull up memories from the far flung past
- The quest for Time and Wind has these sun dial looking things that are actually moon dials since the puzzle only activates at night
- Seelies make a jingling tune, Nahida makes a jingling tune, the Goddess of Flowers taught Rukkhadevata the “source song” which birthed the race of Aranara, and the Pari fought the abyss using the Great Songs of the Khavarena, which seem to summon pure elemental energy aligned with Dendro.
- One of the fairytales that was weirdly important to the Abyss Order before we learned that fairy tales could hold the truth about the past if it’s been rewritten/deleted in Irminsul was the Pale Princess and the Six Pygmies. I’ve already noted a few pale characters with crowns or royal status but there was also a character called the Night Mother, who seemed to be the villain of the story. Another odd Night connection.
- Andersdotter wrote The Boar Princess, her signature rose design is on the cover. A rose is also on the cover of The Pale Princess and the Six Pygmies, so could she have written that too? As a member of the Hexenzirkel, it’s pretty likely.
- The Seelies were said to be beautiful pale people, and Rukkhadevata is pale with white hair, as is Nahida. Another trait they share are elf ears. Klee is pale with fair hair, and she’s an elf; from what we know of Alice, her mom, she could look much the same. Although he’s old, Pulcinella of the Fatui Harbingers is also an elf with white hair and pale skin, fitting the description. Seelies are fairies, and elves in real world folklore are considered fae, so could the Seelies have given us the elf race in Genshin? Or the Moon Sisters, who presided over the Seelies? Elves seem to be as long lived as gods, so it’s not out of the realm of possibility.
- I think Aria, Sonnet, and Canon represented Memories, Time, and Dreams, symbolizing the past, present, and future respectively. I don’t know the order of the goddesses in their roles, but I do know they had a fight and two died, leaving only one, and wouldn’t it be something if that surviving moon goddess became Istaroth, the god of Time? Maybe even Irminsul came from the death of the moon goddess of Memory? I don’t know what could’ve happened to the goddess of Dreams, but maybe her death caused the constellations that are canonically made up of the crystalline fruits of Irminsul in the sky box of the Firmament.

How would you portray if cinder fell to the Ever After either with or without neo? Does she go down a villainous path still?
(If you know me well enough, you know I think Cinder will get worse before getting better, so... here's a small part of how I think things would go down for her with the Ever After fucking with her a bit)
Cinder picked herself up as she panted, eye burning in flame as she looked around the desolate land around her. The acre of the Ever After she found herself in looked much like where Evernight Castle was situated, but she knew she wasnt on Remnant anymore. No, she was in a place similar to “The Girl who Fell Through the World”, a book she had stolen from one of her stepsisters when she was younger. If she was still that kid, being in a place like this would’ve been like a dream come true. A land where she didnt have to worry about the Madame or her daughters, no longer having to worry about wearing that damned shock collar or doing the chores around the hotel. But now, all it was now was a reminder of her failure to get the scepter and the maiden powers from Winter. 
A loud, roar-like yell left her lips as she released her anger, the flame in her eye dying down once she was finished. Her arm shook as she tried to collect herself to find a way out. Afterall, if there was a way in, there was a way out.  Then, it dawned on her: if she was here, then Ruby and her friends were here too. A second chance to finally rid herself of Ruby. And this time, she could kill her right here without Salem ever finding out. 
A grin crossed Cinder’s lips as she finally calmed herself, and she started to make her way through the acre to find someone… anyone… that had seen Ruby or any of her friends. She paused for a moment as she watched a shooting star streak across the sky, her grin fading for a moment as another realization struck. Neo would be here too and would try to kill her again if she saw her. Not that she worried too much. Neo was nothing special compared to other huntsmen. Formidable on her own, but with the maiden powers at her disposal and no reason to keep Neo alive… she was certainly just another loose end to tie up. 
No, the only worry she had was whether or not there was a way out of here. Just because there was a doorway in didnt mean there was a doorway out, and killing Ruby too quickly would mean possibly losing a lead to getting out of here. Especially if the large tree in the distance wasnt the way out she thought it’d be. Ruby was a pain, but she certainly was useful when you needed it. 
Cinder finally started to walk again as she tried to clear her head once more, making her way towards the tree. That is, until she spotted Neo fighting off a strange creature. She took cover to watch from a distance, pausing for a moment when she saw Neo use her semblance and create a small army of herself. A small issue, nothing she couldnt get past, but something that could be useful. And all she had to do was follow quietly and wait.
—-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cinder took quiet steps as she followed behind Ruby and her friends, waiting for the right moment to strike. It had taken a while to track them down, and even longer to get close enough to see that Ruby wasnt alone. And then there was that cat. That damned cat. It had found her first, followed her for what felt like days as she walked from acre to acre, only to leave her when it realized it couldnt change her heart, and now, it seemed glued to Ruby’s side. Though, the longer she watched the cat, the more she felt that something wasnt right with the way it seemed to be leading Ruby and her friends. It wasnt something she should’ve cared about, she wanted Ruby gone anyway, but after having met the cat, listened to it, watched it drag Ruby and her friends along from acre to acre, that cat was planning to use Ruby for something. 
Even so, she still followed Ruby in the hopes that she could catch her alone and get rid of her once and for all. And it was well worth the wait. She watched as the cat left Ruby’s side in the market, finally making her an easy target. Or at least as easy of a target as someone could be in a crowded market. There were still plenty of prying eyes watching her, and even if none of them helped, there would still be enough people to point to her direction. 
Instead, Cinder kept following, creating a small blade out of flame as she made her way closer to Ruby. She shuffled through a crowd of people as they got between her and Ruby… and then Ruby was gone as if she’d vanished in thin air. In fact, everyone seemed to be gone around her as she found herself walking through what looked like a blacksmith’s shop, the sound of hammering echoing around her. 
“Seems like you’re not ready to be her,” a voice echoed through the shop as the sound of a hammer striking steel continued. “And yet, you still managed to find your way here. Seems like you’ve got a lot going on.” 
“Who’s there?” Cinder asked angrily, fire practically spewing from her fingertips. 
“Just someone who can help remake you,” the voice continued. “Give you a new life to experience.” 
Cinder scoffed and turned to leave the shop, pausing when she saw a pair of familiar swords on the wall. She frowned as she picked one up, looking it over and seeing Rhodes’ reflection in the steel. “Is this some kind of joke?” 
The hammering of metal stopped as silence permeated the air. Seconds turned into minutes as Cinder waited for an answer, her eyes practically glued to the swords in front of her. Finally, she pulled away and walked out of the shop and to an empty street devoid of any of the denizens that were there before. There was still no sign of Ruby, but it was clear that she had missed something as signs of that strange creature had been here. She let out a fierce growl, slamming her hand against a table that had barely been standing. 
Thunder clashed above her as the sky started to darken. Rain fell swiftly down onto her as the flames along her fingertips started to douse away. For a brief moment, she had felt lost, unsure of herself. But as the rain pounded over her, her eyes caught the footsteps of the creature she had seen before. The longer she followed those steps, the more they seemed to change until all that were left were human tracks. And once again, she had her path as the rain started to let up. 
If Neo was after Ruby, then Neo would lead her straight to where she needed to be.

With Vale being destroyed there is a non zero percent chance Salem has Relic of Choice. As I previously stated, I don't think that's the case as it would be very anticlimactic way to do it after six full volumes of Relic eluding her. I see it more as a raising of stakes for Vacuo battle since loss there could mean Salem's victory with all four Relics.
However, I mostly want to focus on Relic of Choice's role in Knightfall theory mythos and implications Relic being taken by Salem could have.
Relic of Choice is one of the center pieces of Knightfall theories, tying to Indecisive King story as well as giving Cinder in universe way to see reality of her situation. So if Relic of Choice is acquired off screen, does that invalidate all previous theories? I'd say no.
While it's true most interpretations of the theory focus on Vault encounter, it doesn't have to be that way. Encounter can happen at Evernight (or wherever Salem stashes Relics) with Cinder being there on guard duty. As I stated before in one of my theories, I consider Cinder kidnapping Jaune to be plausible scenario to happen during Vacuo arc looking at him as Joan of Arc allusion. So scenario in which Cinder and Jaune are at Evernight with Relics in not implausible in my book.
In fact, now that I think of it, encounter happening in Evernight might make more sense than in the Vault going purely by literary influences. Prince encounters Cinderella at her home, Joan encounters Dauphin in his castle, Widow encounters Indecisive King in his castle, Ozma saves Salem from tower she was trapped in (this is looking at Knightfall as reverse Salem/Ozma story). Common thread is that Jaune coded character encounters Cinder coded character at her home and Evernight is closest she has to one.
It could also tie in nicely with Cinder's Cinderella influence. In her story Salem is both Fairy Godmother (magical being that gives her the tools to achieve her dream, in this case acquisition of Maiden powers) and Evil Stepmother (repressive figure that keeps her down). With her Relic being acquired, Salem no longer has a reason to rely on Cinder and might resort to having her as glorified guard dog (I mean she can basically control her with Grimm arm). So she might slip from Fairy Godmother role to Stepmother role and keep her away at Evernight with Relics.
So basically, I don't think anything changes in the grand scheme of things even if Relic is acquired of screen.

"Sweet Dreams" An Interlude... (pt2)
Deep with in the Grimm lands, a lone figure walks the halls of EverNight Castle, deep in thought.
Tumblr media
Salem: (Thinking) Something has crossed over. I can feel it, something that should not be here.
Moving through the silent corridors, her gown dragging along the smooth stone floor, she made her way deeper into the massive structure. Her destination, a very special room. A room only she could enter.
Salem: (Thinking) This will invite attention, but I must know. I must be prepared for this new potential threat... or ally.
Standing before a great stone door, she waved her hand before it. A moment later, a loud grating sounded as the massive slab slid open. Stepping through, Salem, moved into the unadorned room as the door slid closed behind her. In the centre of the room, a misshapen pool of black liquid.
Tumblr media
Focusing on the still surface, she concentrated. Focusing her thoughts and will... and slowly an image began to form in the mirror like surface.
Salem: (Whispering) Show me.
Jaune: (Twisted and warped) My you are a nosey one...
Tumblr media
Salem gasped, and let her focus waver, causing the image to shudder and then dissolve. The shock of seeing an elder entity... something that shouldn't be in this world, shaking her to her core.
Salem: I must make plans... gather my forc...
Salem stopped mid-sentence, an oppressive feeling of dread filling her. It was an emotion she had long forgotten she could experience. She didn't turn... she already knew what she would see.
Jaune: Too Late...

Klein fell silent again. After a while, he said, “Personally, I don’t wish to become a Great Old One, but I can’t let down and betray those existences who have placed their bets on me. ‘They’ have more or less helped me.
“Once Amon becomes the Lord of the Mysteries, ‘He’ will definitely help the ancient sun god retrieve the Uniqueness and Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristic from the Lord of Storms and the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, causing ‘Their’ deaths.
“Besides, Amon is a reckless god.”
The Evernight Goddess’s dream projection nodded slightly and said, “Your humanity has been maintained well.”
My beloved Klein...
(I love the Amon slander tacked at the end there lmao. Always happy to see it hehe)
Yes, Klein is doing his best to maintain his humanity and I love that for him <3

Top 3 favourite Dylan Wang scenes (any show)?
Top 1. Crying over Xiao Lan Hua's death and letting go of her in the dream sequence (LBFAD)
Top 2. All his fight scenes in Evernight 2 and Unchained Love
Top 3. Tearing up, confessing his love for Shen Ruoxin to her mom over dinner (The Rational Life)
Kinda difficult as there's so many scenes that have been paused and rewinded, but I think these are the most rewatched ones 😉😍
Thanks for asking!

A Falling Star
How does one catch a falling star?
Who dares touch such fervent flames?
Is there anyone in this quaking world
who would reach up,
revel in that burning
if not I, an ardent soul—
singing my poetry to the sky and the sea.
Passion is my delivery.
For I am the willing brush
by which all of nature paints their thoughts
through the words of my mouth;
their spirits dance to the notes on my strings.
Inevitably, as a moth to the fire
I am drawn to the star 
shooting across the heavens like a guiding light.
Wide-eyed, mesmerized,
I am powerless against its pull—
to gain the honor of witness,
I would be a fool not to pursue.
And so, I must know:
How does one catch a falling star?
Who would set their gaze upon such splendor
then proceed to avert their eyes?
Surely not I,
for to pass up on this opportunity 
is an offense towards the universe itself.
For one such as I, what purpose can be served
if not to record and testify
to the dreams unmade
to the ambitions that soar
to the wishes in the wind
to the stars that fall.
Who, if not I,
would dare to take it all?
For my duty is delivery;
Only a fire so hot,
a glow so bright
could warrant a dazzling descent
smouldering
—yet glorious in sight.
If it were in my power to preserve such fervor forever,
I shan't hold back!
So then I must, with every wisp in my soul,
capture my star while still ablaze and whole:
immortalize this flame through word and song
and keep it burning my whole life long.
And then, perhaps, it shall even transcend
one such as I.
Burn bright, my star
never lose your hopeful light—
through quaking earth
and blood red skies
from creeping dawn 
to black evernight.

Into the Silence -5
Warnings: Fever, panic attack, begging, half-delirious whumpee, crying, fear of asphyxiation, past torture reveal, past breath control torture, oxygen mask, self harm scars, self harm mention.
Taglist: @whumpwillow, @purple-heart-x, @whumpsday, @everynameistakencarrots, @equestrianwritingsstuff
NOTE: If anyone wants to be removed from the taglist due to the self-harm, please let me know. I totally understand.
______
Caspian drifted in and out of consciousness, plagued by fever dreams and nightmares. He found no relief upon waking up, finding himself restrained each time, still with the mask strapped over his face.
A shudder ran through his body, and he once again tugged against the unyielding restraints, whimpering in distress when he got the same result as always. Helpless, he gave up struggling, smacking his head against the pillow with a useless moan.
“Ssssshhhh, relax.” A soft female voice said, as a gentle hand brushed his sweat-soaked hair back.
Caspian looked up into light blue eyes, unable to help the tears in his own. His stomach and chest throbbed, his broken ribs protesting with each shallow breath.
“Ghost.” He mumbled weakly. “Please.”
“Wrath-”
“Take it off.” He begged. “Please.”
“I can’t. It’s-”
“I-I can’t do this again.” Caspian moaned.
“Can’t do what again, Wrath?”
_______________
The supervillain looked up at her with fever-glazed grey eyes.
“D-don’t t-tighten the r-ropes again.”
“What ropes? Wrath, there aren’t any ropes.”
“Please.” He whispered again, tears threatening to spill over his lashes. “D-don’t tighten them... don’t leave me like this.”
“Wrath, what are you talking about?” Bella asked, concerned.
“E-Evernight... he would... he would... t-tighten r-ropes around m-me, then t-tie them o-off and l-leave me f-for h-hours.” His glazed eyes met hers. “Please d-don’t. I won’t c-cause any trouble. D-don’t turn o-off the air s-supply... Please.” He sobbed.
Bella felt sick, it was no wonder the poor guy was so terrified of the oxygen mask. He thought they were going to suffocate him by turning off the oxygen.
Bella reached up, wincing at how Wrath cringed back, and pulled the mask away from his face, before shutting off the supply valve.
Then, she paged Joe.
The supervillain’s breathing was a laboured, wet sounding rasp, but he had visibly relaxed the moment that the mask was removed.
“You called?” Joe asked, appearing in the doorway.
“I need you to get oxygen tubes for his nose.” Bella replied.
Joe frowned. “What’s wrong with the mask?”
“It’s scaring him.”
“Ghost, he’s vicious, you and I both know what he’s capable of. He can live with with a bit of nerves over an oxygen mask.”
“He’s begging.”
Joe’s eyes softened slightly, and he sighed. “Fine. I’ll be back in a minute. I need to check him over anyway.”
“Thank you.” Bella said, sincerely. Joe gave her a crooked smile.
“Only for you, my little Poison Pill.” He said, an affectionate smile on his face. The two had been like siblings from the day they’d met.
“I’m taller than you.” Bella replied, and Joe scowled playfully. The fact that he was 5′3 was often brought up when he called Bella little.
“Yeah yeah.” He said, walking out.

Caspian flinched as the Medic approached him, holding some kind of packaged tubing in his hand.
“W-what is that?” He stammered, trying to sit up, panic momentarily causing him to forget about the restraints.
He let out a sharp yelp as the strap across his abdomen tightened over his broken ribs.
“It’s some nasal tubing. You need to stay on oxygen, but Ghost said that the mask was upsetting you.”
The medic set the tubing down, and pulling out a stethoscope. Then the other man reached out, and pressed against his chest.
Caspian gasped at the pressure on his broken ribs, trying to squirm away as it increased.
“Lie still, Wrath.” The medic said quietly, he looked almost pained.
“Oh God, please stop.” Caspian begged, yelping as another spike of pain shot through his chest. “Ghost!” He cried. “Please, help me! M-make him s-stop!”
The girl appeared in his peripheral vision, and he craned his neck look at her.
“Please.” He begged again. “Help me.”
“Wrath, sssshhh.” She murmured, kneeling beside him. “I know you’re scared, but we’re trying to help you. He’s just trying to check your ribs... and your pneumonia.”
“It hurts.” Caspian groaned.
“I know.” Ghost said quietly, placing her hand on his forehead. Caspian pressed weakly into her touch.
“What’s your name?” She murmured. “Your real name?”
“Caspian.” He rasped, far past caring about keeping his identity secret.
“That’s a pretty name.” She replied. “I’m Belladonna. Bella, for short.”
“Bella.” Caspian murmured tiredly. “Please, don’t let him hurt me.”
“Hush. I won’t.” The girl replied.

After Joe had finished, and Caspian was sleeping again, Bella went for a shower.
She stripped her T-shirt off, looking into the mirror at the mess of cuts and scars on her stomach.
Some were years old, others less than a day.
Shame washed over her, as it always did when she saw the ugly mess, but it was never enough to stop her.
She turned away from the mirror, and stepped into the shower, pulling the curtain closed.

Hi. Do you know which hell events will have their last run in the CN server? I got an account there, and I don't know what I should save up for or how many months is the break between their hell reruns... Thank you.
Regarding breaks between hell reruns it’s usually random. It’s regular for CN to have several running at the same time! As for reruns, I’ll list them as follows
Hell events under 3 runs:
Crystal in Light : 2 runs
Foam of Mystery: 1 run?
Wave of Time: 2 runs
Dream Record Book: 1 run
Mood Listening: 2 runs
Blessed Land: 2 runs
Hell events waiting for Wish Gate:
Arcane Astrolabe, Spiral Staircase, Steele Sphere, Sea of Trees, Cloud Realm , Time Palace (iirc)
Hell events in Wish Gate:
Caelum et Ocean, Evernight, Ghost Gathering, Blood Moon, 4 Wars, WFSM
Wish Gate usually updates ~1 year after the last run of a hell, or so I’ve heard! Most hells on CN should be going to wish gate soon. Hope this helps!
