Dear Yuletide Writer 2020

First of all, thank you! This is an unusual year for us all, and Yuletide is one of those few things we can still enjoy just like usual. So I’d like to thank you not just for taking part in this wonderful exchange, but for taking the extra time to read this letter. Please note that I don’t expect you to adhere to everything I say here; I’m providing it in case you’d like to know more. And since you’re here, I’m assuming that’s the case. You’re already doing a great job!

Most importantly: Don’t try to bend over backwards to make your story fit my prompts and suggestions, if you’re not feeling them. I’m assuming you signed up to write my fandoms and characters because you have a genuine interest in them, and that’s what makes for the best stories. So let the optional details be optional, and take the below as a guideline and inspiration!

Do Not Wants: You will find these in my prompts, below the cut.

Things I really enjoy:

First time stories! I absolutely prefer this to anything else, in relationship-focused stories. As I tend to say, I’m secretly an 18th century romantic poet. Slow burn, UST, all that good stuff. I’d rather have one smoking sex scene at the end of a story, with a lot of build-up, than five scattered throughout. I realize you’ve got limited time and words here, but whatever you can give, I will happily take.

Casefic! I love detective stories, especially the classics, so anything in that vein will make me very happy indeed.

Plot, and plot twists. Plot is delicious. I don’t mind character studies, but a good plot will make me happier than anything. And a twist in the tail is my everything.

In-character, explicit sex. If you enjoy writing that sort of thing, I am a sucker for a well-written explicit sex scene. I love reading sex scenes that let the characters shine. Much more interesting than plain porn!

World-building. In science fiction or fantasy canons in particular, I can never get enough of this. Let me know what people have for breakfast, how their clothes are made, where they shop, where they go on vacation and how - tell me about the three seashells! (#obscureDemolitionManreference) In short: Details!

Humor! Humor is so important, in life and fiction alike. Some of my fandoms are humor fandoms, but even those who aren’t, can absolutely benefit from humor. I believe humor is what makes us who we are and keeps us going, be we alien hybrids or robots or just plain humans.

A note on shipping: If I’ve specified a ship and you don’t like it, please don’t feel obligated to write it. I’ve tried to make that clear in the prompts, but it bears repeating.

Now, author, if you’ve read the above and think “but I only write gen” or “but I hate plotty stories” or “I couldn’t write casefic to save my life” - really, really don’t worry. You matched with me because you like one or more of the same fandoms and characters as me, and that’s more than enough. I trust you to write the best story you can, and that means writing it the way YOU want to. I’m obviously very happy if you chose to include some of my likes, but don’t feel forced to do so.

If you’ve read all the above, and you’re still not sure about something, maybe my fics on AO3 might be helpful? I generally like to read the same type of stuff I write.

Thank you, thank you yet again, and have a great Yuletide!

See below the cut for my sign-up details and fandoms.

Robot Series - Isaac Asimov          

R. Daneel Olivaw

Elijah Baley

 Caves of Steel is probably my favorite novel of all time, as are the rest of the novels, and I am very fond of Daneel and Elijah. I find the world they inhabit fascinating, both the future society of Earth, and the Outer Worlds. As I both love detective fiction, science fiction and above all robots, these stories may as well have been written specifically for me. A lot of the appeal lies in how the stories manage both to deliver an entertaining mystery, as well as heart-felt interpersonal drama in a straightforward way. Daneel is one of my favorite fictional characters; the way his empathy and personality shines through programming and limitations.

Wants: Casefic. Seriously, if you can write me casefic for this fandom, I will be delighted. A murder mystery would be fantastic. I do ship Daneel and Elijah, and I would love to read about the unresolved tension between them. Explicit sex would be great! World-building and exploring whichever location they are at, be it Earth or one of the Outer Worlds, or on a space ship or station, etc. Exploration of Daneel's character; Elijah stuggling to come to terms with his feelings for him - preferably romantic feelings, but if you don't want to write that, feelings of deep friendship. Bickering and banter and held-back affection!

Do Not Wants: Daneel or Elijah shipped with other characters. Canonical relationships are okay to mention or feature, but I don't want them to be the main focus of the story. No mention of Elijah's death, please, and no mention of Daneel's ultimate fate - though a story reuniting them after Elijah's death would be more than welcome. No PWP, please, I prefer my porn with added plot. No hurt without comfort. No mention of bodily fluids other than blood, semen or saliva in a sexual context. No body horror/permanent disfigurment.

Jeeves - P. G. Wodehouse          

Reginald Jeeves (Jeeves - P. G. Wodehouse)

Bertram "Bertie" Wooster (Jeeves - P. G. Wodehouse)

 This is one of my comfort fandoms - I take such joy in the language and the characters and the masterful plots... but mostly in Jeeves. I have great affinity for Bertie, and can identify with him quite often, and so it's no wonder that I, too, am deeply fond of Jeeves. I see him as a deeply feeling person with masterful control, and scintilating intelligence. Who also happens to be petty and jealous when it suits him. It is the character interation and interpersonal relationship I adore the most, as well as the clever, intelligent humor.

Wants: I do ship these two, and I would absolutely adore some UST ending in, erm, resolved tension. If you don't care to write that, I'd love a story based on their mutual admiration and friendship. Ideally, I would prefer a story written in first person, but I have no clear preferences as to who should be the narrator. Bertie, of course, narrates most of the stories in canon, but if you are more of a Jeeves, or would rather write in his voice, nothing would be better than that. I believe Bertie is genuinely intelligent and clever, and I love when this is shown in writing. Particularly if Jeeves comes to realize it/comes to Bertie's defense if someone belittles him.

Do Not Wants: Jeeves or Bertie shipped with other characters. No PWP, please, I prefer my porn with added plot. No hurt without comfort. No mention of bodily fluids other than blood, semen or saliva in a sexual context. No body horror/permanent disfigurment.

  Hot Fuzz (2007)  

Nicholas Angel

Danny Butterman

 Hot Fuzz is my favorite of the Cornetto Trilogy, and just plain one of my favorite films overall. I love the details, the clever writing, the loving genre references - but most of all, I love Nicholas and Danny. There is something quite wholesome about the two of them and how they grow together; the joy of two people finding one another a perfect fit. Danny and Nicholas make one another better without changing who they are, which is a wonderful thing. And then there's the tone of the film, which is perfectly balanced; it's funny without being silly, realistic without getting grimdark. Just right.

Wants: I do ship Nicholas and Danny, so I'd love a slow burn romantic story. If you don't ship them, a story about their developing friendship would be very welcome. Domestic scenes and village life! For some reason, I really like reading about these two in a holiday setting, so that would be wonderful. Awkward miscommunication which gets resolved sweetly is my jam for these two. Haplessness and held-back affection and building a life together.

Do Not Wants: Danny or Nicholas shipped with other characters. No PWP, please, I prefer my porn with added plot. No hurt without comfort. No mention of bodily fluids other than blood, semen or saliva in a sexual context. No body horror/permanent disfigurment.

    XCOM: Chimera Squad                    

Cherub (XCOM: Chimera Squad)

 I absolutely love the XCOM franchise, so I was very excited to play Chimera Squad. I was particularly interested to see what society would be like after the war, with human and alien cultures blended. There was a little bit of that in the game, but not nearly enough to satisfy my curiosity - I'm hungry for more! What I love about XCOM, beyond the game mechanics, is the setting and the world-building. When I see a Muton in a t-shirt, I want to know more! I've requested Cherub because he's my favorite character, but I'd prefer something not too character-centric.

Wants: World-building! And lots of it. Show me where people live and work; aliens and hybrids and humans all. How do interspecies relationships work? Can humans interbreed with aliens? How has alien culture affected society? Burger Palace: We need to know what's going on there. What's popular culture like? All that good stuff.

Do Not Wants: Anything too character-focused or introspective. Any ship is fine, slash or het, so long as it's not the main focus of the story (I want to see the world). No PWP, please, I prefer my porn with added plot. No hurt without comfort. No mention of bodily fluids other than blood, semen or saliva in a sexual context. No body horror/permanent disfigurment.

[Where My Twin Watches]: Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood Episode 28

Last time: We had a “Surprise, you’re shipping my son and my great-granddaughter” scare, unresolved Season 2 issues gave way to a recap episode, and Beard argued with himself. Onwards!

Straight into the Crush Flower/Spare Flower intro this time (still can’t get over young!Armstrong crying GUH), let’s hurry up and get some answers! A fanged skull being used as a candle-holder? Obviously the laboratory of a reputable scientist! So yeah, Gluttony’s just shown Al into Father’s lab (who isn’t in his chair for once, did he actually go fishing?), Al and Shao are just a little freaked out at the interior decoration. Gluttony doesn’t give them time to settle down though, calls out for Father- What. Oh my goodness. Father is Papa Elric? Who would have ever guessed. What a shock.

Episode 28 - “Father” So! Awkward family reunion time! I’m sure that Al has lots of questions. But surprisingly, Father isn’t that happy that Gluttony just opened the door for a Protagonist, Gluttony’s in a heck of a lot of pain. Father targeting his Stone, somehow? A deadman’s switch if any Goths went against him directly? Oh! Jeez, I’d almost forgotten about how Ed, Ling, and Envy were forcing their way out of a Leto-forsaken pocket dimension. Jailbreak! Al’s a little concerned to see a titanic monster burst out of Gluttony, but is distracted by seeing his brother and the freeloading prince alive. Easy with the hugs, Al! After the brothers get their “OML I’M SO GLAD YOU’RE NOT DEAD” out of the way, time to talk with pops. Who… notes their metal limbs/body, and asks if they’re the Elric Brothers? Hold on, what? He doesn’t recognize his own kids? But he saw Ed in Resembool just a while ago, how- Oh. OH! D’oh, it’s so obvious. Dude’s made artificial humans with fragments of his own personality, is that kind of guy really going to do drudge work when he can pass it on to others? And someone who makes “superior beings” out of himself is too vain to just hire common workers, oh no. Why stop at making only seven Goths, when you can make a couple more to keep the place clean? Yup, Uncle asks if they mean von Hohenheim, is surprised (and pleased?) to learn that the guy has children. More confused as to why they call themselves the Elrics, learning that it’s their mother’s name just has him ask where Hohenheim’s been if not with his kids. See, Beard/Father? Even your clones think that you’re being a jerk. Ouch, Ed’s still a bit beat up from the escape (so wait, are Envy, Gluttony, and Ling just hanging out by the wall while this is going on), and Al’s missing his hand. Didn’t Ed bring that back? Let’s go ahead and- uh. Um. Uncle just Transmuted Al’s hand back, and fixed Ed’s arm. And then Ed’s broken ribs as well. Without any Transmutation Circles, no movement, and without drawing on any pre-existing materials. [Ed/Al]: “There isn’t any Equivalent Exchange!” EEC: 10 And with that, Uncle goes from “quirky household help” to “terrifyingly powerful Goth”. Ling points out that he’s obviously not human- [Uncle]: “I would ask who you are, but I honestly don’t care.”

While Ling stands shocked at the utter disrespect, Uncle just walks away and says Gluttony can eat him. Whoa dude, hold on. Maybe the Elrics can argue that if Uncle wants them to be well, he should spare their friend? Nope, Uncle DNGAF about an insect such as What’s-his-name. Ed? Ed buddy, I know that you’re the hotheaded Anime Protagonist, but maybe this is the time for a strategic retreat? Maybe you shouldn’t attack the dude who can do freeform Transmutation, and who has two Goths waiting just off to the side? Or you could Earthbend at him, whatever. Guys? Guys, please think about what you’re doing. Uncle here is a minion of Father, and he’s powerful enough Transmute without EC. You’re facing the Big Bad’s Dragon here, and the show’s barely halfway through. You need to get out of there, now. Envy’s attacking the kids now, and they’re all but ignoring the Titan!Goth to try and hit Uncle, who at most raises a hand to block Al’s attack, then sends Ling flying. This is not a fight you can win, and I can tell Uncle’s patience is running out. He takes one step forward… Uncle takes a single step, and the sheer force of his power radiates through the room, to Scar and May where they face the chimeras, and even out to Beard himself as he apparently is still on his fishing trip. Point is, dude’s strong. Ed and Al snap out of their shock, strike the ground… ok, good, they’ve finally realised they’re outmatched and are surrendering. Or… not? [Ed/Al]: “What’s going on? I can’t Transmute!”

Oooooh Leto. That’s not good. Not only is Uncle ludicrously strong, but they can make an anti-Alchemy field? And one that’s selective, too; Ed and Al have been depowered, but Envy can still smash them into the ground. Envy mocks them as lower life forms, blathering about how humans don’t even understand their own power. (Oooh, sudden thought. If that implies that Alchemy comes from Truth, and we can assume that the Elrics are gonna defeat Truth to get Al’s soul back, is that going to disrupt Alchemy as a whole? Is Amestris going to have to reorganize around not having magic?). Uncle tells Envy to shut up, then says that Ling may be useful after all. Holy crud, the intro was right. That was Ling standing with the Goths? Hoo boy, Lan Fan is not going to be happy when she hears about this. Envy’s expositing that Uncle’s got the Stone in his bloodstream, and can spread it to others to create Human Homunculi. All Ed and Al can do is pound hopelessly at the ground, crying about how they’ve lost their powers and can’t do anything. But wait! Ed has the pistol! But before Ed can/has to use the gun, Ling yells at him to stay out of it. [Ling]: “I came to your land to find a Philosopher’s Stone, and now this guy wants to give me one! I’m not gonna turn this down!” Come on, Ling! You’re going to go through what Bradley did, stay strong! Battle of the mind again, Ling’s floating in a sea of tortured red souls, when ok here’s Father’s Sin. You… you can do it Ling? Ok, ok good! Don’t fight the Sin (assuming Greed, not Lust), but work with it, be unconventional! [Ling]: “I said come! I freely accept you!” [Greed]: “Y’know, people normally reject me.” But Ling is anything but normal. Future Emperor of Xing here (disregarding the whole “making the guy whose job I want immortal” thing, but whatever). Greed at least is amused by Ling’s ambition. And yeah, as much as I applauded the first Greed for acting so Slytherin (views subordinates as possessions, angry that someone would steal from him by harming them), if Ling does end up going Goth then there’s no better way than a quest for power, to provide for his people.

Ling goes into the light… And Greed wakes up. Damnit. So yeah. Ling’s gone, replaced by the new Greed. Ed and Al frantically plead for Ling to remember, to answer them, but no dice. Greed just stands there and smirks at them. Door? Someone else coming to the party? Oh hey, Scar and May! About time you showed up! Ok, ok, let’s get the important stuff out of the way; Shao reunited with May? Check! Scar finally realizing that the Elrics aren’t working with the Goths? Check! May finally seeing Ed, and all her romantic dreams being shattered in a tragic and hilarious fashion? Check! Gluttony points out the Ishvalan, and Uncle lets him loose. Crap, and they don’t have their Alchemy, Scar’s Hand O’ Doom won’t- work?! And May, too? All right, the effect’s worn off! Or not, the Elrics are still depowered. Well, when punching won’t work, try talking. And what better thing to say that tell Scar that the one responsible for the destruction of his people is standing right in front of him? Scar… does not take this revelation calmly. Like, May’s backing away from the fury of Yoki’s servant. And Uncle’s going to have a bit of a mess to clean up after all this is over. Uncle orders Greed to eliminate the outsiders, Ed tries to run interference and talk Ling back into control, and May’s fleeing from Gluttony. Uncle’s in his Investigative mode, ports right behind Scar to ask how he’s still using his Alchemy. Scar goes for the Hand O’ Doom, and Uncle just stands there, and calmly works through the technique. Scar’s freaked. And almost killed, Leto! May pauses for one second at seeing Scar hurt, and gets struck by Gluttony for her concern. Thankfully Al comes in for the save and gets the protesting May outside. Where there are chimera waiting, great. Ok, Scar’s there now but injured, the chimera are still massed, and both Gluttony and Envy are heading directly for them. Al tells Scar to take May and run, since he’s the one who at least will survive facing them. But Scar refuses and grabs his helmet, throws it to make a spark. Big boom! The smoke clears as Al grabs his helmet, only to get grabbed by Envy in turn. Looks like Scar and May escaped in the cover, so Gluttony’s ordered to sniff them down. Thankfully all of Scar’s HOD’s at least disrupted Gluttony’s regeneration ability so he can’t do much more than lay there and smoke. And OH MY LETO I just realized where the Ishvalan and Xings went to. Hopefully it goes better for them than it did for Martel. Greed’s fighting Ed, Ed’s still screaming for Ling to take back control. Knocks Greed down, challenges him about his country and Lan Fan- OH. That right there, Ling not blocking the punch and just glaring at Ed? Maybe it’s false hope, maybe I just don’t want Ling to go the way of Hughes, but I’m getting a message of “dude, stfu and stop trying to blow my cover” from that glare. Please please please let this be a ploy to enter the Goth circle as a spy.

Greed captures Ed and Uncle orders him to be taken upstairs to Wrath. Accusing them of “treason” and throwing in jail, maybe? Ed’s calmed down now, whispers to Al what he’s discovered/hopes for: Ling is still alive. End credits! Hoooooo boy. Lots of stuff this episode, lots of setup. Looking forward to next week, let’s give Uncle a bit of time to tidy up before the Elrics wreck his stuff again.

Fanfiction: As You Wish

Fandom: Teen Wolf / Marvel: Infinite war

Warning: Bad words

Paring: Theo Raeken x Liam Dunbar

Additional Tags: Angst, MCU / Teen Wolf crossover, Good Theo Raeken

Be careful with what you wish, Liam. Your wish can come true.

(Sorry! Bad grammar!)

The war between hunters and supernatural wasn’t over. Liam doubted that something like that could be ended for real. After all, everything started because of the fear, people were afraid of something that they barely had an idea of, Anuk-Ite did a great job by triggering this fear. And even if now it’s gone, some people still were afraid, and that is only a matter of time before someone like Gerard would lead them.

Liam wasn’t ready for the next threat, not mentally. He was tired both emotionally and physically. The constant nightmares about everything that happened, especially about Brett and Lori, only made him more anxious and jumpy, the lack of sleep was playing a dangerous game with his mind and IED. Liam Dunbar literally was a walking time bomb and no one knew when would he explores.

Salvation came to him unexpectedly. More specifically Liam accidentally runs into Theo one day, when the young werewolf tried to deal with his anger. He was in the middle of the Beacon Hills preserve when he spotted a familiar dark blue truck, hidden between trees and shrubs. Liam didn’t hesitate before he knocked at the window.

That was how Theo Raeken of all people ended up living with Liam’s family. Of course, it wasn’t so easy, and at first Theo rejected the offer but then when Liam’s mother, Jenna, found out that Theo was living in his truck and her son didn’t do anything about it to make this situation better, she went to the chimera by herself and practically dragged him to the Dunbar-Geyer’s house.

At first, Liam was happy to have Theo next to him. They played video games and watched a lot of movies on Netflix together with Liam’s family. The young werewolf quickly gets used to it. Especially when he admitted that Theo actually was his anchor and was pretty much the only one who was able to calm Liam down in a matter of a second. Liam was okay with that. But when he noticed that he started falling for certain chimera, it was the beginning of Liam’s ‘freaking out’ moments. He even started regularly snapping at Theo. Liam couldn’t allow his feelings to take over his mind. He just can’t. What pack would think? They weren’t Theo’s biggest fans, so if they found out that Liam has feelings for the guy, who tried to kill their Alpha, they most likely to think that he lost his freaking mind and will send him to Eachen House for the thoughts like this or they will think that Theo manipulated him again and will send him if not to Hell, then away from the Beacon Hills. And Liam wasn’t happy with any of those alternatives. 

Deep down he knew that he probably overthink this whole situation but Liam was tired and his mind was fogged with fear and worthless worries he barely could think straight. Liam did see how much Theo had changed, he saw as the older boy took Gabe’s pain and then left without another world. Liam wasn’t stupid, he noticed how much Theo did change, how much the former killer was trying to be better.

And yet it didn’t stop Liam from hating and despising the warm feeling that he gets every time he saw the chimera. This, and his IED wasn’t helping, so with those feelings involved, he started to be more aggressive toward Theo. 

The pack now was at Liam’s house, together they all were having a great time while speaking, discussing and joking like they always do.

Even Theo was laughing, recently the pack members finally had started including him in pack meeting and Theo was truly grateful for this. After all this shit that he had done to everyone in the room, he never allowed himself even dream about the possibility that the pack will start to trust him again. That was beyond his expectations. Liam remembered Theo told him that once when he had one of his endless nightmares. They became even closer after that, Liam could swear he heard as Theo called him his friend when he was discussing something with Jenna, he didn’t mean to listen that just happened and Liam never mention this to the other boy. Then his feelings got involved so Liam started to be cold with him again and Theo had no idea what he had done to piss Liam off so much.

Raeken stand next to Mason and Corey while he was telling some story from his work. Liam was standing near to him too, trying to focus on the story the other boy was telling and not on how much the chimera was looking good with his hair swiped back a little and how hot it was when he unconsciously run his hand through them. Liam really should change the way he was thinking before this situation becomes awkward. Heck, why this should be so difficult, Liam didn’t ask for those feelings but look at him now. Trying so hard to hide them, he even closed his eyes trying to focus on something else and not on the voice telling him that he is in love with a certain chimera. Liam was so busy trying to calm himself down he didn’t even notice that his breath became heavier.

“iam, Liam,” the beta heard someone’s worried voice, but it sounded so distend he wasn’t sure whom it belongs to. “Hey, Little Wolf, come on, everything is fine. Just breath, breath with me.”

Theo. This voice belongs to him.

Liam couldn’t bear that anymore.

Theo was in the middle of the sentence when Liam snapped for the third time for this day.

“Will you ever shut up?!” he shouted anger took the best of him this time. Liam barely could hear anything besides his heart, which now was beating too fast even for a werewolf, but still, he noticed that the room went silent. He saw as Theo tensed and closed his mouth immediately, his eyes wide, he clearly was confused by this reaction. Liam definitely should apologize now. “You like, speak all the time like anyone could be interested in what you are saying,” yeah, that definitely didn’t sound like an apology.

“Liam, what happened?” Theo asked slowly looking around like someone could tell him what was wrong. Liam scoffed but followed his gaze and noticed that everyone was staring at him now.

‘Fuck, oh fuck, they know, now they know everything and will kick me out,’ Liam thought.

“Little Wolf?” Theo asked again.

“Shut up, just shut up this all is your fault, shut up!” Liam snapped and there was no coming back now.

If Liam wasn’t so much focused on his anger and for a second would take a quick look around him he would be able to say that Theo was clearly shocked by this outburst but even more aghast by the fist that followed right after this. Liam saw as the chimera fell on the floor clearly feeling a sharp pain as his nose was broken. Again. What he also did notice was the fact that three pair of hands were holding him tightly so he won’t attack Theo one more time. Briefly, Liam glanced up only to notice that it was Scott, Mason and surprisingly Malia who were holding him. That also was the moment when Liam remarked that he actually never stopped screaming.

“That your fault do you hear me, that all on you. I hate you, hate you so much. What do you even thinking about yourself, huh, Theo? Acting like everything is fine like we all can fucking forget what you did last year! Well, guess what?! We will never forget! I will never forget! I won’t forget what a monster you were, what a monster you are!” Liam screamed and all Theo could do was listen.

“Liam-“

“No! you don’t get to say anything. I don’t wanna hear another beautiful lie leaving your mouth. I’m done with you!”

“Please-“

“I regret the day I pulled you from Hell! After all, that is where you belong! I wish you could just disappear from my life!” Liam also regrets the words he said the moment they left his mouth. Immediately the anger died out and was replaced with all-consuming guilt. He was stupid enough to take a look on Theo and the scene broke his heart as he saw the single crystal clear tear that was running down chimera’s face. Liam took a deep breath and nearly chocked because of the sticky scent. Sadness. Regret. Pain. He barely could detect the scent. Not that it really mattered. No one was holding him now but all eyes were on him, yet all he can look at was Theo’s hazel green eyes which were full of pain. The pain Liam caused and now had no idea how he could fix all this.

Liam actually opened his mouth to say something, anything, but he couldn’t find the strength to make a noise. And then something caught his attention. Theo’s right hand started turning into dust. The chimera rose his slowly disappearing hand. There was no fear in his eyes nor denying. Just acceptance.

That broke something in Liam.

‘I wish you could just disappear from my life!’ Liam heard his own voice in his head on repeat and that was driving him crazy.

“Theo-” Liam started but this time the chimera interrupted him.

“As you wish, Liam,” he only said and with that completely turned into dust.

Theo Raeken was gone. One moment he was there and next he wasn’t. And the last thing Liam said to him was that he hates him. Theo just died, as Liam assured himself, with the thought that he doesn’t belong here. That the only person he considered as a friend actually can’t stand his guts. This was too much.

For some seconds the room was completely silent.

And then Liam fell on his knees and screamed.

[dumdumdrawstumtums]

general belly/burpy headcanons about any fate bois? cu in particular

sakldga i'll go with cu for now since there's quite a lot of fate bois and i'm bad with playing favorites//

He's a warrior hero, and a superhuman one at that now! Not only does that mean he's used to feasting til he's good and stuffed, but that spiffy Heroic Spirit bod he's got most likely means a much greater capacity than what's normal. Expect him to voraciously stuff his gullet to the point that it looks like he swallowed a beach ball regularly, and being all too pleased with that fact. Except maybe when he's called to action and finds it really awkward to fight with a large stomach stretching out his spandex outfit to uncomfortable levels (can we say awkward wedgie?)

One of my favorite tropes is Temporal Fish Out of Water, so of course I'd slap the lancer with it too! Getting so overwhelmed by all the delicious-smelling food all around that he's gorged himself silly in no time when wanting to try everything? Or being taken to a grocery store with the offer that he can pick out whatever looks good to him, and he just.. grabs and starts eating whatever as he strolls along browsing for more, unaware that's not how things are done today. Or hunting animals in places that are generally frowned upon doing so now, like ducks at the park or certain zoo animals, proud that he'll be eating good tonight lmao

According to F/GO he'll just eat... anything?? Look at this quote - "Cú Chulainn: Sure you can eat it. You can eat anything as long as it's got muscle. Just make sure it's cooked, and you're set." And that man was 100% prepped and ready to eat a freakin chimera. Imagine him facing off against any big monster and his first remarks on the matter are something along the lines of "This'll make some mighty fine eating." And then he follows through on that, content on cooking the felled beasties and stripping them down to the bone (kinda reminds me of T/oriko with that giant alligator ahaa). Ties heavily into how I wanna hit him with "hungry dog" ideas, where he'll eat anything you set down in front of him (except, ironically, dogs themselves given his geass) and thoroughly enjoy belly rubs after.

I've expressed my thoughts on vore headcanons for him here, but to reiterate I really do like the thought that he most enjoys eating someone when he's beaten them, either in combat or any sort of challenge - eating contests being ideal~ I waffle on whether he'd be casual about it or have a bit of a taunting/enjoying-it-too-much streak to him. Especially if he's weirding out or flustering someone with the fact he's eaten a person whole and then just purposefully leaning back jutting out his active gut all "What, you're not unnerved by this or anything, are ya~?"

Since he's a warrior who hails from ancient Celtic times, I think his table manners.. leave much to be desired. That includes belching whenever he wants! And there's so much dang strength behind them. Again, given that he's a superhuman hero (ESPECIALLY one who's supposed to be the ace at any little thing he puts his mind to) he can belch with the best of them and then some. Seriously, his burps are probably loud enough to shake the table if he so desired, easily mistaken as faint thunder by neighbors. God help anyone he finds out is blushing after such a crass act, because he's only gonna have that stupid knowing smirk before he chugs a whole mug of beer down straight, thumps his fist against his pecs, and belts out a shockingly huge burp that drags on and on, enough to leave his audience slack-jawed and their face making a good imitation of a cherry. Like, he's typically casual about it, but now that he has a reason to actively try, well...

Thunderstorm - Theo Raeken

word count: 2555 warnings: swearing, awkward tension request(s): Hey, I don't know if you take requests right now, but could you do one with Theo raeken? The reader is a witch in Scott's pack and she hates Theo (who has a secret crush on her), but they have to work together because of the wild hunt and he slowly earns her trust and her love. Your writing is amazing, it would be so cool of you to write this request😘 thanks and: Can you please do a theo raeken imagine where like its after 6b and theo is more involved in pack and they have like a game or movie night and theres like a thunderstorm and reader is super scared and they all go to bed but he like hears her heartbeat and goes to comfort her and its all really cute and fluffy. sorry this was sooo long dedicated to: @high-functioning-fangirl02 bc she loves theo so much

Theo wasn’t always exactly a friend of yours.  In fact, you used to hate his guts so much that you nearly killed him, if it wasn’t for Scott holding you back.  There was a time when you still would’ve gone behind your alpha’s back just to end the chimera.

But now things have changed.  It’s been a year since Theo and the Dread Doctors were a threat to the pack, and you no longer felt like Theo needed comeuppance.  In fact, after he came back from hell to help you all retrieve Stiles and stop the Ghost Riders, and later help take down the hunters that threatened not only your pack but every supernatural creature, you felt he’d really changed as a person.  You could even go as far to say you were almost best friends.

You could definitely admit you felt a little more for him than you thought you ever could… not that you’d admit it to anyone else.

You were sat on the sofa while Liam and Scott were challenging each other to an arm wrestling competition.  Lydia, Stiles, Malia, and you had put your money on Scott winning.  While Kira, Mason, and Theo had put their bet on Liam winning.

Pack sleepovers were always weird, but in fun ways.  Last time you had a Just Dance competition, but it got too intense and Stiles and Liam nearly broke out fist fighting.

“Three!  Two! One! Arm wrestle!” Stiles spoke excitedly, and everyone gathered around eagerly to watch the tournament, all wide eyed and chanting excitedly.

“I swear sometimes I think I’ve joined a cult” Theo told you, sitting down next to you.  You chuckled and nodded in agreement.

“I know I’m in one” You replied, and he laughed as well.  The both of you watched the alpha and beta for a few moments, and it seemed like neither of them were moving at all, even though you were sure both were putting as much force as they could into it.

“I didn’t think that this is what your sleepovers would be like” He said, and you began laughing, making him look at you in confusion, wondering what he’d said that was funny.

“You saying sleepover, it’s just hilarious.  Theo Raeken is at a sleepover” You snorted with laughter, clutching your stomach.  Theo rolled his eyes, not finding it as humorous as you.

“Yeah yeah you’re a dork you know that l/n?” He said sarcastically, but you just grinned at him, affirming his statement.

“Yep! A proud dorky killer werewolf right here” You said with a small laugh.  “Well, not really a killer.  Dorky werewolf” You corrected.  “Hey! That could make a really good tv show” Theo laughed, shaking his head as he smiled at you.

You were something remarkable to Theo.  Because you held firm beliefs when it came to your view on the world and the people in it.  But that didn’t mean that your mind couldn’t change.  For instance he was sure that you’d never accept him into the McCall pack, or that you’d even let him lend you a pen in class.  But after the events with the Ghost Riders, and Gerards werewolf hunters, you grew much closer to him.  He earned your trust, and a few other things he wasn’t aware of.  He got to see the real you, the you that you were when there wasn’t a threat to Beacon Hills.  The cute, funny, sometimes spastic, sweet girl you were.  And he grew to have quite the soft spot for you.  

While you could also be a badass, golden eyed werewolf that could tear the throat out of her enemy in two seconds flat, he liked both sides of you.  In fact, he really liked both sides.

And normally, Theo Raeken was the kind of guy who held more confidence than he could handle.  But seeing the strange and rather violent history between the two of you, he refrained from working his charms on you.  Figuring that he should just be happy that you’re friendly with him.

“I win!” You and Theo turned to see Scott had shoved Liam’s hand against the coffee table, making a small crack in the wood from the force.

“Goddamnit Scott, that one’s new” Lydia grumbled.  He’d broken her old one a few weeks ago jumping on it.  You couldn’t recall why he’d done it, probably to prove a point of some kind.

“I’ll buy you the next one” Scott said bashfully, and you were laughing quietly to yourself.

“Most teens deal with romance and angst and school stress.  Not us.  We fight villains and break tables with super strength” You announced, getting up to go find a drink in Lydia’s kitchen.

“I got a really nice red wine you can try if you want” The banshee called to you from the living room.

“That’s alright” You shrugged, opening her fridge for something else.  You couldn’t get drunk anyways, no point in wasting good wine.  “Another downside to not being a normal teenager” You mumbled to yourself, deciding on a bottle of water anyways.

“Well it’s not any better for me” Stiles said as you came back in.

“Yeah.  Me either” Mason agreed.  “You think I want to get drunk in front of all of you where you can make fun of me for being an idiot?” Him and Stiles chuckled, both understanding the awkward struggle of being human.

“Well, at least you don’t go insane twice a month” You said, plopping back in your seat by Theo.

“Twice?” Liam mumbled.  All the girls gave him a pointed look ad his mouth made an ‘o’ shape.  “O-oh right y-yeah” His face turned red as he looked away from their laughter.

“Poor Liam” Theo chuckled, and you smiled at him, your own laughter quiet as you looked at him.  His eyes seemed to… sparkle when he laughed.

No y/n.  You mentally slapped yourself, your smile softening.  Don’t do that, don’t notice things.  But you couldn’t help it, he was easy to look at.

You turned away when his eyes caught yours, taking a long drink of your water.  Lucky for you, he didn’t say anything about it.  But you didn’t catch the way he smiled at you.

“It’s late, why don’t we put in a movie and settle in?” Lydia suggested, and everyone tiredly nodded in agreement.

“It’s my turn to choose!” Malia leapt up from her spot on the floor by Scott, racing over to Lydia’s DVD collection (you swore she owned every movie ever).

“On the bright side, it won’t be a romantic comedy” You said, and Theo sighed with relief.

“Thank. God.  I can’t handle one more re-run of The Notebook” You laughed, remembering the way he had stared at the screen with disgust.

Malia ended up choosing some action movie you’d never seen before.  Something with aliens but also had a James Bond theme.  You found it difficult to follow, sleepily slumped on the couch as your eyes threatened to fall shut.

“You’re gonna pass out during the big fight scene” Your eyes opened just enough to see a blurry splotch shaped like The next to you.

“I happen to be alright with that” You responded dryly, and he just chuckled.

“Well do you want like a blanket or something?”

“No I’m alright” You said in a quiet voice, already closing your eyes again.

You fell asleep not minutes after shutting your eyes.

The movie was nearly three hours long, and Theo wasn’t sure how he managed to stay awake during the whole thing.  Shortly after you’d fallen asleep, you’d begun to sprawl across the couch, so he’d moved to the last open chair so you could have the space of the couch to lay out on.

Malia and Scott had set up a makeshift bed of blankets and were currently wrapped up in each other.  He thought for a moment they were too cuddly to be cute, before he turned to see Stiles and Lydia on the other sofa.

Okay, that’s worse, he thought, cringing and looking away instantly.  Hell, he couldn’t tell where one of them started and the other ended.  Shaking his head, he looked around other places, the sound of the rain hitting the roof being the only noise in the room.  It was kind of calming, sitting in the dark and listening to the weather outside.

Kira and Liam and Mason were sprawled out separately across the floor as well, no where near the two couples.

He looked back to you, curled up to preserve your warmth seeing that you’d refused a blanket.  You took up less than half the couch, and Theo found it amusing you were so compact.  If he didn’t know any better, he’d take a photo just to mess with you later.

It was quiet for a few minutes longer, until thunder clapped outside and the lightning lit up the room.  It didn’t bother Theo, he was used to the storming weather of Beacon Hills, it was just a part of living there.

But someone here wasn’t as okay with it as he was.  His ears instantly caught the sound of a rapid heartbeat.  Fear, he noted.  They were afraid.  He sat up further, looking round for the owner of the heartbeat.  And not moments later, you were shuffling off of the couch, and leaving the room.  Not even noticing Theo was upright and watching you go.

You were afraid of storms? He shook his head out of confusion.  y/n l/n, designated badass? Afraid of storms? How could that be?

Without another thought Theo got out of his chair and followed after you towards the kitchen.  You jumped from where you stood by the sliding glass door, your senses heightened more than usual because of the fear you were in.

“Theo?” You whispered, not wanting to awaken anyone else.  “What’re you doing up?”

“I could ask you the same thing” He shrugged.  But he already knew the answer.  Your eyes left his and turned back to the glass, looking up at the dark sky cautiously.  “Why’re you afraid of storms?”

Your head snapped over as you glared at him, not exactly… appreciating… his directness.

“I’m not afraid of storms” You told him in a snarky tone.  He looked back at you expectantly, knowing there was more to that statement than you’d said aloud.  But he didn’t push you again, just wandered over to stand next to you at the large window.  Your eyes were wildly flicking across the sky, watching the storm clouds move.

Your whole body flinched when the thunder boomed, and a strike of lightning flashed miles away.  The light of it being the only thing that illuminated in the dark kitchen.

After taking a deep breath, you spoke up again.  “I’m afraid of what comes after” Your voice shook in it’s whisper, and Theo looked over at you with confusion laced in his expression.

“What do you mean?” He asked.  Your teeth sunk into your lip, embarrassed that you were even talking to him about this.

“Storms they… something bad always happens” You admitted.  “People get taken and… and erased and it makes others go insane and-” You cut yourself off, taking in a sharp breath.  “I’m really fucking tired of losing people” You said weakly.

Theo’s mouth opened, but no words came out.  He just stood there, staring at you with sorrowful eyes.

“y/n…” He trailed off, not really knowing how to say ‘I won’t let that happen’ in a non-cheesy way.  “That’s over, it’s not happening again-”

“How the hell do you know that?” You asked, not in an angry way, but a helpless one.  “How do we know these things won’t happen again? It doesn’t just end when we go to college.  What if no one’s here to help? What if something happens before we can get to it? What if one of us-”

“Hey” Theo said softly, reaching for your hand and grasping it gently in his.  “Trust me on this, it’s going to be alright”

“But how can you say that?” You choked.

“Because… because I wouldn’t let that happen” Your brows cinched together and your lips parted slightly, unsure of what he meant by that.

“Theo things don’t work like that…especially not around here” You mumbled.  “And even if it did there’s nothing you could do to-”

Theo’s hands captured your cheeks and in moments his lips crashed down to yours.  A soft sound left the back of your throat in surprise, not having expected… that.  But it didn’t take you long for your hands to link around his neck and kiss him back.  Even if it was spontaneous, you were still kissing Theo Raeken.

Your eyes were squeezed shut tight, fingers curling into his hair.  He was leant down slightly, enough to reach you.

Something between a whimper and a sigh left your lips, making the both of you pull apart briefly, only to take in a breath before you were pulled back into another kiss.  Theo’s hands traveled down, settling on your hips and tugging you flush against him.  You were just beginning to melt against his touch when lightning struck again and you practically jumped away from him.

Instantly you sighed, putting your hands over your face and running back through your hair stressfully.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry-”

“It’s alright” Theo smiled as kindly as he could, his palms rubbing over your arms warmly.  “It’s alright” He repeated.  “Just a storm, nothing else” You nodded shakily, and he tucked your loose strands of hair back behind your ear.

“Okay” You whispered back.

“You want to go back to bed?” He asked, and you nodded again.  Theo smiled, and lead you back into the living room.  “I’m gonna go find you some actual blankets, okay?”

“Okay” You said again, sitting down on the couch and watching him leave in search of something comfy for you.

You were sat there for a while, doing your best not to focus on the storm, to try thinking of anything else.  But the rain was coming down so hard and the lightning kept striking and sounded so close, you weren’t sure how else to distract yourself.  Until a thought came to mind that made your heart stutter.

“Did I just kiss Theo?” You mumbled to yourself, unknowingly drawing the attention of a certain strawberry blonde that hadn’t been able to fall asleep.

“You did what!?”

i’m sorry this is shit idk what happened xoxo ~ jordie

Legacy of Eternity Chapter 5 part 1: Unravel the Mystery

With Vega’s people left to die in the hands of the High Glaives and the Dragon-wolf kingdom’s Strike Fleet New Hope. Many marines and knights had deployed to the ground and assessed the situation and provide what medical aide and food for the people.

Kent reported to Commander Charlotte, the Circle of Knight Lords, the council of Elders, and the High Priestess of Ren’veil  Folsa Kyron of what had transpired in Vega though some were pleased to hear that the fleet was decimated and might not cause problems for the Frontier.

“So 82% of Vega’s Fleet had been decimated or had surrendered correct?” Victor asked.

“Yes Father, though they surrendered it still troubles me that some of them managed to escape during the fight... The Storm Raider is trying to find their jump trail as we speak it will take time.” Kent reported.

“Then my son what of the Vai’len and Priestesses of Ren’veil how many were rescued?” Charlotte asked.

“We managed to rescue 631,000 Vai’len citizens including over 500 priestesses though some of them had been mentally broken, We will do what we can to help them.” Kent answered.

“By the wolf Father.... How could people do this... Do they not fear the repercussions of enslaving and killing innocent people?” Folsa asked.

“Unfortunately Lady Folsa, some Human species think of themselves as the apex of their kind and all others are nothing more than an ant to a boot.” Victor answered with grief.

“I see... Still I want to thank you Kent and your men for saving my sisters and every enslaved Vai’len that you could.” Folsa said with a grieving smile.

“No thanks is needed my Lady... My men and I had agreed to pursue the escaped science facility and rescue everyone from such a tragedy... No one deserves to be turned into a slave...” Kent replied with fire in his eyes.

“Very well my son, your fleet is already on stand by here on Ren’veil return here... re-arm and regroup... then pursue your prey... Do not let them get away with their crimes.” Victor ordered.

“Understood Father... We will be home soon.” Kent saluted.

Just before the conference ended Folsa prayed for their safe return to Ren’veil and their journey shall bare them great fruit. A blessing from the High Priestess is a great gift to receive in troubled times with a smile he bowed before the priestess and vowed to help them as much as possible.

The young knight made his way to the Medical hospital located at level 42 in the west wing of the Storm raider. Since the 14 legions prioritize in just one aspect of ship building and not prioritizing in certain areas such as defense, power usage, and crew management.

Each ship of the Dragon-wolf though few in number are considered as miniature arc-ships able to house over 1.75 million to 20 million Zerrohnians each depending on the class. 

The Storm Raider is considered as a Arc-Requiem class battleship only 3 were ever made of said class the first one belonging to the young knight’s Father known by the name of Bull Raider well known for its heavy armor, massive trinity shields and rotary plasma cannons. It is also known for ramming through enemy lines and destroy any ships with its heavy armor.

While the other sister of the Arc-requiem class has fallen into grave disrepair after the final battle and was in New Dawn’s Arc-ship dry dock to rebuild it. While the newest ship the Storm Raider was more of helping people as it has over 4 class 7 hospitals with the best medical facilities available, weapons factory, agricultural facility, self-renewing resource blocks and facilities to train, produce and make knights and marines. 

Though severely undermanned the ship still operates at top efficiency having only 2.1 million personnel available with most if not all working as medical and other civilian personnel managing the food and resource blocks.

Kent passed through a medical screen to avoid any unneeded bacteria that might had latched onto his skin. The young knight was later greeted by several doctors who had been assigned to take care of Willow.

He bowed before the doctors and a firm hand shake the doctors were pleased to see the young knight. 

“Good Day Lord Anthony I am Doctor Markai Sovereign senior medical doctor for bio-mechanical research and development.” Markai saluted.

“Thank you for meeting me Doctor... I want to ask for a status report of my Lieutenant?”Kent asked.

“Ah yes... Lieutenant Willow she is a piece of work I would say Lord Anthony... Who ever did a number on her is psychotic sir... Msot of her internal organs were forcefully removed and preserved some were even coated in a mild acid damaging their core functionality and her lungs were forced to breath ash... And you know the effect of ash when it comes into contact with the human lungs Lord Anthony.” Markai reported.

“But can she be brought back to her former state?” Kent asked.

“We can technically speaking but it would take years of surgery and bathing constantly in bio-nano healing fluid and bio-cyber augmentations sir.... She will also need to be hooked up to life support sir... It will be a painful way to live sir...” Markai reported.

“Is their no other option left?” Kent asked.

“We are still looking into it sir but we will continue to help her.” Markai saluted as he went back to work.

Kent walked to the intensive care unit rooms where the marines and Knights who were rendered disable due to many military operations all across the Frontier who had their limbs destroyed, minds broken and much worse. 

Here knights and medical staff who had taken an oath to save the lives of their kin and others no matter the risk. 

The young knight entered the room where Willow was being kept alive though she was awake the team was their to check on her. They all looked at the young knight with smiles on their face despite what happened to her.

“Commander...”“deep breath”“ Sorry to cause you trouble...” Willow said as she exhaled.

“Boss it’s not her fault...” Clayton stated.

“I know Clay... I am upset with you Willow just a little for not letting us know what you were doing and returning to Vega on your own... It was suicide and now... Need I say more?” Kent said.

“I am... Sorry...” Willow cried.

“No need, what’s done is done... Your work actually saved billions of lives so congratulations are in order... But their are some news about your condition Willow.” Kent stated.

“What is it boss man?” Clayton asked.

“Her condition is reversible but she will be put on life support for many years.... It will be a long and painful process... Most of her internal organs are damaged but can be healed with a lot of nano cell baths... This wont be easy...” Kent explained.

“Then...”“deep breath”“ Commander.... I am already broken...  Take care of my brother... That is my only request...” Willow said as she cried.

“General... Their must be another way right?” Rex asked.

“Yeah Boss man We can’t just give up on her!” Clayton said.

“Big bro is right... He hasn’t even gotten to date her yet let alone plow?” Genji stated.

“Really Gen? This is not the time for that right now but I agree we can’t give up on them just like that?” Marky asked.

The young knight was moved by their determination to see the two siblings brought together he smiled and told them of another way.

“Their is one... It’s suicide... Their is less than .00000000000001% chance it will work.” Kent stated.

“What is it... Oh shit...”Marky thought out loud.

Kent walked to the emergency medical kit next to Willow’s bio tank and took out the syringe and extracted a small portion of his blood. The team were deeply surprised that his blood instead was bright red it was black. 

As he removed the veil and interlocked it into Willow’s bio tank with a heavy look knowing what monsters lie inside his blood.

“Boss why the fuck is your blood darker than space itself?” Clayton asked.

“Clay... My blood is not exactly blood... It’s the two greatest saviors or destroyers of Creation... A long time ago me and my brother Chimera Zero were kidnapped our blood was changed... My little brother had minor changes to his blood which caused him to turn into a dragon while mine...” Kent said as he looked into the veil. 

“Your shitting me right boss? Their is no way someone like you or anyone can survive with those monsters inside you?” Clayton asked.

“You mean your blood contains the Vestroyer virus?” Marky asked.

“Not just the Vestroyer... The Reweaver virus as well all 99 strains... are my blood...” Kent confessed.

“Wait 99 I know the viruses only have 98?” Marky asked.

“No 99 because they are being regulated by the Black Queen.... A Viral Nano-machine  made to regulate the absurd strength of the viral strains... If my Grand Mother did not make her I would be unable to control my abilities that I am right now...” Kent explained.

“So your going to inject Willow with your monstrous blood?  Wont that kill her and turn her into a Foresworn?” Clayton asked.

“Willow... This is your choice... My blood could save you or destroy you... If you take this risk I will bare full responsibility... Should you live you might not be the same person as you are now... IF your will is stronger than the viral strains then... I will inject it into your tank...” Kent said.

Clayton protested that the viruses can and will destroy her if she agrees it will kill her. Willow closed her eyes and thought of living again a peaceful life again with her brother finally free from the fear of battle. 

“If it’s to save my brother... I’ll take the risk...”“Heavy breathing”“ Commander please do it... I won’t blame you...”WIllow said.

“Clay... You should say something before I inject it...” Kent said as he prepared the room for a bio-hazard breach. 

“Everyone out... Lets give them a minute...” Rex ordered.

“Agreed... Right on boss cap... Boss man wait up!” Marky stated while Genji followed Kent out of the room.

The two were given a moment to themselves though awkward Clayton was not good with words. He got off from his seat and gently tapped the glass that separated him from Willow. 

“You... I am... Not that good with words... But... I... you... Yeah...” Clayton said as he was at a loss for words.

“It’s alright... I know... But If... Anything happens to me... Get my brother... Save him and give him a better life than I could...” Willow pleaded.

“Count on it... Boss we’re ready!” Clayton shouted.

The young knight entered alone as the room was pressurized as Knights prepared their heavy Plasma flame throwers or Ionizers in case the virus goes on a rampage. 

Kent personally injected the veil of the black blood into Willow’s tank Clayton was asked to leave the room before the situation gets ugly. The promethian stood his ground and asked to stay as he will stay to see her through to the end.

As the black blood began to swirl and devour the nano-machine cells into more viral strains. It moved and swirled like a snake encroaching on its prey as it tasted Willow’s blood the Virus began to do it’s work. It blacked the glass the last thing they saw was Willow twitching as her sensory nerves were beginning to overload. 

Her screams began to echo inside the medical facility as the virus was either destroying her or reviving her. 

“BOSS WE HAVE TO BREAK HER OUT!” Clayton shouted.

“We can’t if the glass breaks the virus will destroy this entire medical wing!” Kent replied. 

Willow’s screamed out in pain as the glass was slowly breaking when several tendrils broke through the glass and latched on to several metals and bio-matter available in the room and devoured other components broken down into usable bio-matter.

As the tendrils retracted back into the tank the screaming stopped the black blood like goo hardened like a cocoon around Willow. 

“Okay I think it’s clear...” Kent said as he approached the cocoon.

He used his magna claws to carefully cut open what was left of the medi-tank when he touched the surface of the cocoon it was hot. Clayton saw the cocoon cracking open as it began to heat up in the room though the knights outside did not open fire. The cocoon began to crack and shake as a hand broke out to see Willow or at least the new and improved version of her. 

They saw a pale skinned girl with white long hair and most of her arms and the rest of her legs were changed with black scales and claws. Her teeth were razor sharp eyes was white as the stars but was later changed back to blue as the sea at the side of her head was small horn like dreadlocks.

“RAGH!!!!” Willow screamed in pain.

“WIllow!” Clayton shouted.

He tried to approach her when the young knight stopped him as the Virus was  somewhat active on her skin and if anyone were to touch the active virus it would tear them apart. 

The Lock down was lifted as doctors and hazard knights contained Willow lucky for the rest of the ship that the virus did not escape the room or else it would have been a repeat of the Black Blood plague all over again. 

After several hours of checks and constant screening and several cleansing procedures in the medical wing the virus was safely contained and purged. At the same time the Hazard Knights and Doctors did several hours of tests and screenings on Willow although she was infected the virus seemed to have retreated into a purgatory state. 

It was as if the virus itself after completing its programmed task it disappeared into thin air not even in a sub-atomic scale did the virus remain. Though the doctors do not wish to clear Willow without further testing she was cleared from the virus until they reach new dawn for further testing.

Inside Willow’s room the team celebrated Willows rapid recovery as she as taking her time to get used to her new body.

“Wow... I never thought of having fingers again could feel so good... It feels like I’m a baby again!” Willow said as she flexed her fingers.

“According to the doctors it seems like your body was reverted back to the time you are a new born so technically speaking your body is that of a baby... But your mind and experience is that of a 21 year old girl.” Kent explained. 

“General... If I may... I keep hearing things around the ship and my vision is a bit... out of focus I would say.” Willow said.

“In all honesty I am not the best person for the job to explain it but... Lily I’ll leave it to you.” Kent asked.

“Sure Kent, So Willow to start things off a little bit of trivia... Your body is now an Enhanced so too speak first off does anyone know what an Enhanced is?” Lily asked.

“You mean a person with Cybernetic enhancement and bio implants surgically grafted into said person’s body?” Marky said.  

“That is the standard term for enhanced... But for Willow is what we would call Deus Ex Machina meaning man inside the machine... Your body was broken down and rebuilt from the ground up using the converted bio-material found in the nano-med tank converting it into your flesh and blood... But not only is your body build still the same you now have enhanced abilities for example... Kent if you would.”Lily pointed.

Kent took out a knife and threw it at Willow so fast not even Marky the resident sniper was able to see it. Willow was able to catch the handle of the knife before the blade made contact with her eye.

“Boss what the shit!” Clayton shouted.

“Easy Clay it’s okay... That was weird... Normally no one is able to keep up with the General’s knife throws let alone catch it?” Willow asked.

“Exactly my point... Your body is now enhanced all your senses had evolved to the point it exceeds human capabilities. Unlike Kent who is near god like because of the strains inside him... Yours is only a single form evolution which only focuses on the physical enhancements like hearing, enhanced strength, speed, reaction time the whole shebang.” Lily stated as she was writing it on a piece of white board.

“First off that is amazing... Second where did you get that white board?” Clayton asked.

“I have my ways....” Lily winked.

“Okay then now that we have a lot of things out of the way Willow we will need time to find the scientist and the Vega prime minister Olson and the rest of the escaped ships once we do we will mount up and rescue everyone.” Kent said as he sat down.

“Okay General, What about Vega and her people?” Willow asked.

“Their fate is to be decided by the high council of New Dawn but the High Glaives will take responsibility for them I cannot say for sure what will happen but I will ask some people to keep you up to date if you want?” Kent asked.

Willow nodded as she enjoyed the time with the team as the Storm Raider made it’s way back to Strike Base New Hope. The young knight made his way to his room when the ship started to shake as if the ship was experiencing an earth quake. 

“All hands prepare for Yellow alert Level 3... I repeat all Hands prepare for Yellow Alert Level 3 this is not a drill!” Admiral Karen shouted over the intercom.

“Karen what the heck is happening?” Kent asked over his communicator.

“Kent, we are getting sucked into a large gravity well our engines are already trying to push out but we are being pulled in! Kent Get everyone to!” Karen shouted.

The Storm Raider was slowly drifting off it’s hyper lane course as it was forcefully pulled out of hyperspace. The ship spiral out of control as everyone hanged on to their very lives as the ship was trying to stabilize itself.

 As the ship spiraled out of control everyone inside barely managed to stay in their seats as the gravity was being thrown out the window.

The Storm Raider fired it’s rotation and side thrust engines slowly bringing the ship into a slow halt. 

With the ship returning to stable conditions the crew and most of the marines checked the civilian blocks. When he made his way to the Hangar it was a mess cargo boxes and some of the mechs were thrown into the walls some heavily injured from the unsecured physical munitions but none life threatening.

“Boss you okay the ship was just thrown like a spinning top!” Clayton shouted.

“I know I am surprised no one vomited from all that spinning.” Kent stated.

“Dizzy yes but vomit not so much.” Marky stated as he tried to get his balance.

“HERK BLEGH! Boss... I’m okay... Wait... Nope... BLEGH!!!” Genji said as he kept vomiting on the nice clean floor.

“Well their goes the floor... Lily can you take Genji to the infirmary?” Kent ordered.

As the two walked away from the rest of the team the storm raider tried to identify where it got sucked out of the hyper jump lane. The ship was unable to make contact with New Dawn or Trinity Nexus station or even Strike Base New Hope.

With communications down the Storm Raider deployed its 4 reserve frigates and scouted out the area. It seemed as though their is just one giant mass above them due to the blinding light outside the ships they had to lower the blast shields to prevent the personnel inside the ship from being blinded.

“Karen any news yet?” Kent asked over the radio.

‘Communications are still down, we are working on getting the ship’s dimension range communicator up and running, most of the power is being diverted to the plasma reflection shields, some parts of the Storm Raider lost power and engineering is working round the clock to get everything back in order, we lost our navigation and on our end, and we are trying to locate the control system of the mass we detected earlier.”Karen reported.

“Keep me posted please and how about casualties?” Kent asked.

“We are still getting reports from medical, but most of our Marines are down but nothing in the D-bend.” Karen reported.

“Okay that’s good at least as soon as something comes up tell me right away!” Kent ordered.

“Roger that Kent... and by the way We managed to get the name of the thing over head.” Karen stated.

“What is it then?” Kent asked.

“We couldn’t make it out at first but we managed to decipher it as Ancient Neo-Xhe-razh language... It is called the Apocalypse... We don’t have any more data other than that but we are looking into it.” Karen reported as the transmission ended.

The young knight went to the engineering hall many tech-knights and engineers worked around the clock to get the propulsion of the ship in full speed and the power back into some levels.

Tech Knight Mako has been working to hack the heavy cyber defenses of the Apocalypse. 

“Captain Mako, any news for me?” Kent asked.

“Ah Lord Anthony, sorry sir we are still trying to get the power back on the ship’s auxiliary systems, most of the agriculture blocks lost power and most if not all the civilian blocks had lost communications sir... What ever pulled us out of the Hyperspace lane needed to be as strong as a singularity sir.” Mako reported.

“Then what are your theories on this?” Kent asked.

“Their are two... One is we got dragged into a pocket dimension with a singularity generator that pulls ships in and don’t let them leave... And another theory is we are in the Gravity space of a mass as big or bigger than Ren’veil and or New Dawn that It needs it’s own Pocket Dimension to stay un-noticed.” Mako explained.

“Hmm, I wonder... Can you pull up the Apocalypse in the ship’s historical archives for me and reference a word Apocalypse?” Kent ordered.

“By your will!” Mako saluted.

As they searched through many of the older archives of the ship including the collective history of the Zerrohnians before the start of the 1st Great War. 

Only one name was referenced to the Apocalypse as said in the old records the name Apocalypse is one of the 15 Noah’s Ark class ships ever made during the bygone era of the Ancient custodians who destroyed some section branches of creation to make the life boats. 

Each Ark-ship was built housing millions if not quintillion amount of Xer-razh or many other civilizations worth of people, culture, and resources and sent them through the original 77 roots of the sea of stars. 

Though 3 Ark-ships were found before the end of the 2nd Great war many of the remaining  ships are being searched for as we speak. Their are only 3 possibilities why an Ark-ship is found one is by complete accident, two something went wrong with it’s cloaking beacon and the last one is by faith’s will.

“Their is no way this thing is the Ark-ship of Legend Lord Anthony it’s just impossible!” Mako protested.

“We can’t rule it out... by the way good work now... send the data to my holo-pad I’ll look into this a little further... Something tells me this is going to be a long night ahead of us.” Kent said as he gave him a shoulder tap.

The young knight began reviewing the data in his private quarters in the Night Hawk’s data room. It was already night time on Ren’veil at least 1 hour before midnight Kent had burned through 4 bottles of carbonated drinks already with many paper print outs of the Ark-ships of old and other information about them.

He leaned back and read some of the historical files of his people and found no leads on how to unlock this puzzle.

“Argh why is this so hard... Faith’s beautiful lips I should have brushed up on my history... Why didn’t I join Chimera for that history roam when he offered it to me weeks ago Damn it!” Kent shouted in frustration.

“My son Language, and yes this is very difficult to decipher but knowing my people they may have put a security lock over ride with a specific pass code... Knowing who headed the construction and programming of the Apocalypse... He didn’t want anyone to find this big baby,” The black queen stated as she looked into the data herself.

“Wait how do you know about that when most if not all the data we have is just salvaged from Requiem’s destruction?” Kent asked.

“My my you silly boy... have you forgotten who I am originally? I am Sarah Archaena first line lineage to the ancient custodians and I happen to know how to unlock the secrets of the apocalypse.” The Black Queen bragged.

“Okay then... Mother please help us out so we can all go home.” Kent pleaded.

“Sure but I have one condition... When you get back home I want you clear your thoughts and I want you also to not take any military activity for 3 months and get off your butt and start dating your are a 21 year old boy!” The Black Queen asked.

“first off Mother I am already dating Aisha, second... I am 21? Didn’t my body stopped aging when I entered Hell’s gate?”Kent asked.

“I had been keeping track besides Hell’s gate stops your body from aging and it took me about a year to get you back together... But this time I am not letting you go anywhere else without having a good social life with your new home/family!” The Black Queen protested.

“Okay, fine... I’ll do it... Getting back... How do we get out of all this?” Kent asked.

“You might want to write this one down...” The Black Queen replied.

As she explained each ark-ship was specifically designed by an ancient custodian and each hyper-trinity computer nerve center of each ship is protected by millions of firewalls and data-crypt walls that it’s impossible to hack through from the inside and out. 

It would take years or even millenias to get through one fire wall and the data system will only update the security measures when the first fire wall is breached. The only way to communicate with the Ark-ship was through sound frequencies emanated at a sub-sonic level with a specific code that was made by the original founder of said Ark-ship to even be able to unlock it.

Blasting the ship with the Storm raider’s 12 plasma cannons and the proton plasma rail gun is suicide as the Ark-ships hull was made to go through singularities and dis out enough damage to even destroy one. 

Since the black queen’s ancestor was one of the ancients who made the Apocalypse she entered the frequency into the ship’s long range echo transponder. The code translated to I am Sarah Archaena the last descendant of Archibald Archaena Heed my word and aide us to our home show us the light that blazes the trail home.

The ship started shaking again the young knight rushed outside the gunship as the blast shields were lifting to their surprise the blinding light turned was gone as a massive hangar was pulling in all the ships into it’s massive 5000 kilometre sized Hangar bay. 

Each ship tried to fight off it’s tractor beam burning their engines in the process as the doors behind them closed hundreds if not thousands of drones came out of the walls. Each drone inspected and repaired each ship upgrading their components, weapons, and other factors with fresh supplies the team and many other marines and tech knights inspected the inside of the massive hangar bay as it had life support.

“Okay so now what?” Kent asked.

“Now I re-rigged your communicator with a binary frequency generator so you can freely command the ship... This is my gift to you my son... Welcome to the apocalypse...” The Black Queen smiled.

The young knight ordered most of the marines and some of his best knights to settle in the hangar bay while they went to the command bridge. 

With one thought the Apocalypse transformed the platform that he and his team was standing into an elevator and took them 500 levels up from the central platform into the command hub where the AI’s of the ship are converging to talk with the young knight.

The elevator was moving too fast as it reached the top Clayton and marky got thrown up the ceiling and slammed down the floor hard.

“Is everyone okay?” Kent asked.

“I think I am General...”Rex said as he vomited. 

“I’m good Kent.” Lily stated.

“I think I’m good... “”standing up”” AGH! I think something popped in my back.” Marky said as he was in deep pain.

“Clay you okay?” Willow asked as she helped him up.

“Thanks I think Im okay... I landed on the worthless part of my body anyway.” Clayton stated.

“Which is?” Willow asked.

“My Ass.” Clayton answered as he was smacked at the back of his head by Willow.

“OUCH WHAT DID I DO!” Clayton shouted.

“Guys enough and Lily check on Marky and get him to med-bay I will handle the talking.” Kent ordered.

Kent walked away from the platform as the command bridge lit up and a total of 12 AI’s appeared before him one of them stood at the center acting as the voice of said AI council who took care of the Ark-ship.

“Apologies for your friend... I am AI number 91202041-201Z Of Ark-ship number 007 designation Apocalypse... Inquiry, you deployed a coded sequence signal from ship designation Storm Raider with Subfrequency number 106912434 alpha numeric. Question How did you come by this code?” Th AI asked.

“My Grand Mother gave me the codes and the frequency access to the Apocalypse should we find it.” Kent answered.

“Curious, This code can only be attained and even broadcast with Custodian based technology, question which legion do you belong to?” The AI asked.

“My Entire fleet belongs to the Dragon-wolf Kingdom of the Frontier... I think you might know it better as the 15th Legion Chaos Knights.” Kent answered.

“Inquiry, Who is your current Legion Archon?” The AI asked.

“Legion Archon is my Father Victor Redridge.” Kent answered.

“Incorrect... Question WHO IS YOUR LEGION ARCHON!” The AI asked as several auto turrets aimed at Kent’s head.

“Wait... my Dad is the current master... Who could... maybe... Tallis Bloodkane Redridge?” Kent said.

“Inquiry confirmed... Playing message...” The AI said.

The Ai’s dissappeared as another AI appeared before them this one was about 8 foot and 3 inches tall with knee long brown hair tied in a braid. Pinkish fair skin with red eyes and a mole on the lower half on the right side of her neck.

Her arms and legs were replaced with cybernetics and her feet ware claws and have gravity wheels. She wore a brown sleeveless jacket with a white tank top, brown short shorts with a pair of chains attached to the sides of her belt. 

“Hello, I am Tallis BloodKane Redridge... I believe you must be Kent Redridge my distant newphew?” Tallis asked.

“Wait how did you?!” Kent asked.

“You mentioned it earlier... No Im just kidding... The Ai’s copied my brain and created an AI version of me in case something happens... And I believe I am dead now technically speaking correct?” Tallis asked.

“Yes, You were killed by the 1st Legion Archon Zeryuoh during first days of peace after the 1st war.” Kent reported.

“Then It happened huh... Damn it I warned them a long time ago... And now is Requiem gone?” Tallis asked.

“Yes the ancient home of the 15th Legion is gone now... I am sorry... But i am terribly confused right now... But more importantly what happened and how did you come by the Apocalypse?” Kent asked.

“I see... So they really did it... Okay... Kent... I am giving you and ONLY YOU full control of the Apocalypse... Since this ship only recognizes me as it’s true master and since I’m dead I am no longer considered as a Legion Archon... AI Siegfried authorization code 0012 transfer full master control to my Nephew Kent Redridge Recognize override code number 9120!” Tallis ordered.

“ORDER CONFIRMED Transferring controls of the Ark-ship to Kent Redridge... Request, please present dominant hand over the bio-metric scanner for confirmation!” The AI requested.

The young knight placed his hand over the biometric scanner as the ship recognized and over-ride Tallis’s control of the ship and surrendered it to her Nephew. After some time and a blood bag’s worth of blood taken out of the young knight the Apocalypse now recognizes Kent as it’s new master.

After some time Kent talked with Tallis regarding the current state of affairs of the 15th Legion and how they came to be in the frontier. The ship reconfigured it’s portal cannons to Ren’veil though much was still needed to be done Kent could not wait to get back home.

After many hours of preparations the guns were ready and opened a portal to Ren’veil. over 500,000 Zerrohnians marines and Knights stayed behind and study the Apocalypse while the rest went home. 

“Everything is all set Kent... We are ready to head home.” Karen stated.

“Good... Prepare for take off Karen we are heading home... But Grand Mother are you sure you want to come with us in your AI form?” Kent asked.

“Oh no... I have a body ready... Just give me a moment.” Tallis replied as she disappeared.

“Where is she going?” Rex asked.

“I have no Idea...” Kent replied.

“It feels like we have been having no clue to what’s happening lately huh...” Marky added.

 “Yeah... Not looking good...” Kent stated.

Kent’s communicator started buzzing after answering the communicator he saw Tallis already inside the Night Hawk’s operating computers and ready to leave.

“I guess we are ready to go!” Kent stated out loud. 

“Alright then Helmsmen take us out... Gently please.” Karen ordered.

“Aye aye ma’am.” The Helmsmen saluted.

As the Night Hawk pulled away from the hanger as it pulled away the other frigates followed the ship out and entered through the portal leaving the Apocalypse for a short while.

At the same time back on Strike Fort New Hope it was a slow night at the tower nothing of great significance to report when the sensory array near the southern hemisphere of the planet triggered an Alarm.

 The marine in charge of the radar was confused at the time and tried tapping the monitor which never works on some cases. As the computers calculated the arrival point the alarms were triggered in sea city as the ground began to shake heavily as a massive portal opened right before the sea city’s port main gate.

The knights and marines even the high glaives began mobilizing to meet the threat head on. The city’s defenders mounted up as they saw a familiar friend going through the portal. 

“Wait Commander Gaile isn’t that the missing ship?” The trooper asked.

“I can’t believe it the Storm Raider... It’s back! Just to be sure...” Gaile shouted.

Gaile asked the pilots to perform a holding perimeter around the returning ships as he asked.

“Storm Raider this is Commander Gaile of the Sea city defense force lower down your shields and prepare to be boarded.” Gaile said over the intercom.

At the same time in the bridge.

“Commander we have a problem we are being stopped by our own people...” Karen reported.

“Commander Gaile this is Kent Redridge of Strike fleet New Hope, Authorization code number 0777-7. Recognize!” Kent said over the intercom.

After a brief moment and running the code through the data matrix it was later confirmed that it was their lord had returned.

Later that day after the Storm Raider docked at sea city’s specialized harbor many knights and marines including civilians who were affected by the hyper jump pull. 

Early that morning Kent convened with his family at New Hope Village including the mage and the priestess who were deeply surprised to see him. Though his family was happy and eager to see him Aisha and Arra sat next to him as he was surprised to what had transpired. 

“Wait... I have to sit down... We were gone for how long?” Kent asked.

“You were gone about 2 weeks? We sent out ships to find you through the same route you took we feared the worst.” Charlotte said.

“We were only gone for about a day and a half? How did this happen... and what happened while we were gone?” Kent asked.

“I think I can explain this Kent please remove me from your intercom I want to speak with my Grandson...”Tallis said.

Kent nodded as he removed his intercom and plugged it into the meeting room’s central computer. 

“My son what are you doing?” Victor asked.

“Ugh... I think you might want to take a seat for this one Father.” Kent said as he sat down.

“Hello My Grandson.” A familiar voice said.

“Wait this voice... Grand Mother?” Victor asked.

After a brief moment a direct hologram of Tallis appeared before the two Victor could not utter any words as his heart was beating rapidly to see his own Grand Mother so too speak. The only thing he could ever do was kneel down before her the only time an Archon will ever bow before anyone is when they are humbled by the presence of another or they wish to remove a burden that lingers in ones heart.

“My Grandson, You need not bow before me anymore...” Tallis said.

“Forgive me Grand Mother but I don’t understand how do you tie to my son finding you?” Viktor asked.

“Faith has other plans for Kent Redridge like what she did for me... I stumbled upon the Apocalypse when I was still alive and before the height of the Shatter wars... When I found the Apocalypse Faith allowed me to take control of it allowing me to make the Shadow Avalon the oldest of the 3 Ark-requiem ships... Then came your Bull Raider and then the Storm Raider which takes up both traits of our capital Ark-ships combined.”Tallis explained.

“You mean the legendary Noah’s Ark class ship... The only ship that was built to be impossible to find unless ordained by Faith herself to be found?” Victor asked.

“That is the one... And Faith brought your son to the Apocalypse for their is much to be done... When she heeded my request I did not realize that so many things had happen after my death... But that is all in the past now... I have much to discuss with you Victor... Please send the kiddies out I believe he needs some rest...” Tallis stated. 

Victor nodded as he sent the three out the meeting room with a sigh his work day finally ended as exhaustion finally caught up to the young knight.

“““Yawn””Finally the work day is over...” Kent said as he rubbed his eyes.

“When was the last time you slept anyway Kent?” Aisha asked.

“About 6 days ago...” Kent replied.

““”Eyes wide open”“ WHAT! You haven’t slept for that long you need to sleep right now no buts!” Aisha shouted.

“She is right Kent... you need rest even if you have the stamina of a thousand well trained warriors you are still human after all. Dont push yourself too hard please do it for us?” Arra asked.

“I... Will...” Kent whispered as he fainted.

“KENT!” The two shouted.

As his body was about to collapse Aisha used her magic to catch the young knight Chimera showed the two to his room and asked to look after him for a while.

The young knight slept for almost 18 hours straight as his body shut itself down to repair the used up energy and the damaged brain cells during the war on Vega and his time in the apocalypse. 

To their surprise their was nothing too much in his room that made it unique only a weapon rack, engineering bench, a bookshelf filed with human culture and some romance novels. 

“Wow his room looks really bland... Wait a minute what is this?” Aisha stated.

She looked at Kent’s personal work table to see a note book Aisha opened the notebook she found out that it was his personal journal. 

“Oh looky here!” Aisha said as she grabbed a chair.

“Wait Aisha what are you doing that is Kent’s personal journal you should not be reading it is an invasion of privacy!” Arra warned when she was taking a peek at it.

Aisha was reading the first part of the journal she could not take her eyes off what was inside it as she read one section out loud.

April 2 of 4109 time date 7:01 AM

- A day after Graduation in New Dawn Academy my brother, Lily, Rex and Karen were going out to celebrate since we graduated with high remarks. As for me I would rather go to the park and paint up a sketch of the oak tree their and maybe spoil myself a little bit with buying a cold carbonated drink. I think  Mother would not mind at all to give myself a treat every now and again.

- While in the park I saw some kids playing with a ball and some knights who were on patrol at the time were asked to play with the kids in a sporty game of kick ball. How nice it must be to be just a reg. But I would never want things to change any other way. 

- I sat down on the same park bench and took out my holo-sketch book and started drawing the oak tree. It was a hot day to be honest I guess I should have brought a change of clothes next time I am going for a more casual clothing. 

- While drawing the oak tree I must have dozed off at the time but I could vaguely see some people over the distance. I saw a girl with long Violet hair and that was about it and the word Veil something. I don’t know what that means I also saw the planet had 2 moons one like silver starlight and the other one was a brim green like color. 

- I don’t know what that means but It means but I’ll look into it right away.

April 21 to august of 4110 time date 9:41 PM

- Though the maiden voyage of the Storm Raider had come to pass and my ship had finally left New Dawn. We had been assigned to find a world worthy of the Zerrohnian Kingdom this is a big task ahead of us.  Everyone aboard the Storm Raider was very happy and eager to be a part of a big change in the destiny of our people.

- I too am happy to be with so many of my friends, brothers and family that openly asked to serve under me as part of the new Fleet. Though it’s a lot of pressure on my part to make sure that everyone under my care will not feel sad leaving our home behind is a burden all on it’s own. I’m just glad the tech knights agreed to my request to create 4 agricultural blocks and 4 market blocks inside the Storm Raider so everyone wont get bored.

- As moral was at an all time high I used the Silver falcon to scout out the neighboring star systems to find the world in my visions. I found nothing close to my vision though their are many worlds with the potential to be our new home but it wasn’t good enough. 

- Every day after refueling and restocking on some food I flew out of the Storm Raider and tried to find this planet in my dreams. Every night I could see that dream repeat itself over and over again I could paint a picture of it now but the word Veil still bothers me to a great degree.

- Everyone says that our exploration mission is more than a success with over 15 worlds discovered and converted into colonies with peace treaties with the locals. It was more than enough for the Zerrohnians I told Karen to head back to the colonies and have them all progress so they can be a worthy home for the Zerrohnians. 

September 12 4113 Time date 8:12 Pm

 - So many months of searching and I stumbled on a world similar to my dreams As part of the expedition force I infiltrated the planet and studied the locals from a far. not engaging in talks as much as possible. I did manage to decipher most if not all of their language it’s hard but worth it.

- I finally found the world in my dreams now I just need to call for the fleet but before I could I managed to translate the words destruction and hope lost.

- I broke the rule of the expedition fleet not to interact with the locals until the representor knight can come to Ren’veil. But I couldn’t wait for them as they were days away from reaching Ren’veil I went to ask one of the locals disguised as an old man finding out that Ren’veil was facing a demonic invasion of their own.

- Unlike the stories I heard in the 2nd Great War these were a lesser form than those faced by the legions. But one thing is certain I need to stop the demon lord Azmodaius from taking this planet and enslaving the populace. 

- After much deliberation I decided to go for the one eyed Knight mask and robing myself to make sure I was not exposed. Following the trail of stories and reports from the local guards I red lined it to the demon lord’s castle where the Hero’s party was barely holding their own against the demon lord.

- I arrived at the demon lord castle to see a massive battle between humans and demi-humans against the demons It was a losing battle for the united front I believe was the name. I had to intervene I am going to get reprimanded for this for sure but screw it. 

- Managing to clean up the demons outside I needed to deal with the demon lord next. After crashing through several walls though painful was well worth it the heroes were fighting the demon lord.

- At first the demon lord looked at me with disgust when he realized I wasn’t of this earth he offered me a place along side him and wanted to enslave humans for sport and copulation. It is surprising he knows about me despite me not uttering a single word. 

- I saw the party of heroes were already beaten but what caught my eye is the girl with Violet hair. I remembered the dream I had it would seem that she was the one that called out to me I will assume that is right and take it as a reason to fight. 

- That was more than enough to give me a reason to kill the bastard it wasn’t that hard since I tore him apart with only my bare hands. After killing him I had to make sure it looked like one of the heroes killed him so I grabbed one of their weapons and stabbed him in the chest and just to be sure I also cleaved his jaw to make it look like a bloody battle.

- I rested them on their backs up against the pillars and wall to make it look legitimate hopefully they did not notice. 

- Though most if not all the party members were okay and not in life threatening danger. The two priestess looking girl and the violet haired girl were badly injured the girl with the long black hair had a spear stuck into her lower left waist missing her left kidney just by a hair’s inch. Forgive me Goddess Faith for what I am about to do But I have no choice. I had to remove the spear from her and immediately apply the bio-med gel to save them.

- I gave the two of those girls a memento two medal emblems shaped in the legion’s logo. A wolf surrounded by a crown of thorns as three dragons bite the circlet of thorns this way when we meet again I can formally introduce myself.Maybe I would be lucky to find a romance like my brother did at the academy.... 

Maybe when I am ready to lead and become a true hero

After reading a major section of the young knight’s journal they realized one truth the one eyed knight they saw that day was no lie. It was the young knight who saved them it was not a lie what the soldiers said about a silver dragon that flew over the battle field with thunder and lightning as its side it destroyed the battlefield with fire and flash.

Aisha took out the pendant from her coat and compared it to the logo on his computer and it was a match. 

“No way... Kent was already here on Ren’veil even before the rebellion... I can’t believe it...”Aisha stated.

“Not only that sis but the year 4114 to 4115 entry is missing an entire year missing in his journal... It takes place right after the one eyed warrior saved us.” Aisha stated.

“Curious I want to know more but this feels so wrong.” Arra said as she took a deep breath.

“Look here sis the one eyed Knight was of the same build and he didn’t speak but his mask will prove it all... But where do we...” Aisha said as she kept reading.

The priestess sat down trying to process all the information they had learned from his journal and saw a strange looking box under the young knight’s bed as she took it out and opened the box. It was full of the young knight’s mementos from his adventures across the Frontier and many photos that he had kept hidden from anyone some from different worlds that they saved.

And others were of old friends from his time in the academy of New Dawn and that of the hellish academy that molded him into a knight. The Priestess noticed one thing before his time in the academy his smile was full of life and vigor after that it seemed to be forced and nothing more than a shadow of its former.

Despite Arra’s curiosity she felt complaisant of what they are doing but a lingering guilt inside her knowing they are invading Kent’s personal space and even reading his journal. She sighed and asked Aisha to stop and leave it for another time the girl did not listen as she kept on reading something caught her attention. 

The log in his journal showed only the dates 4114 to 4115 their was an entire year missing from the journal it seemed like it was left out purposely and knowing Kent. He never left any detail missing in his journals which brought about a great curiosity. 

Aisha became curious she used her magic to replicate the journal and hid it in her Item bag.

“Sis, aren’t you curious why Kent is like this now and why did he save us the first time?” Aisha asked.

“I am but this is not right... Aisha please once Kent wakes up we can ask him then for now I implore you to bare with it until then...” Arra pleaded.

“““SIgh”“ Okay sis...” Aisha nodded. 

“Then let’s leave before we disturb him.” Arra said.

The priestess left the room first though she looked back and closed the door behind her to give Aisha some privacy.

He reached out his hand just a little as his mind was dreaming of a better time and returned to sleep. 

She made sure her sister was not outside as she went back to Kent side Aisha took the moment and sat next to him and secretly kissed him on the fore head thanking him for saving her not long ago.

“Lets meet again... my Hero...”Aisha whispered as she left the room. 

A smile could be seen in the young Knight’s face as his mind drifted into the sea of dreams resting his body after many days of battle. The next day early morning Kent received a summons order from his own Parents in the study.

“Father, Mother... may I come in?” Kent asked.

“Of course my child... You are always permitted to come into the study.” Victor said.

Kent came in to see his Father not in his Ark-zero battle armor for once since he is the current King of the Dragon-wolf It is always a must for the current Archon to wear their armor at all times as many would try to attempt and assassinate them to take the throne for their own.

The young knight Kneeled down before the Archon and the Queen as a sign of respect Charlotte immediately asked him to stand as it was not needed since they are at home. 

“My son I want to congratulate you on your fleet’s recent success in rescuing the slaves at Vega Prime... Though our allies of the High Glaives had taken responsibility of the planet and sent all the captured slaves back to Ren’veil to have a psychological debrief and receive medical treatments. i understand also that you used the Angelic armors of the Eternal knight... Knowing the risk you used the armors and saved more lives than any of us can count... Though you earned the respect of many knights and marines from the other factions... You have earned your fleet’s reward but not without punishment... I declare the Strike Fleet New Hope to be suspended for 3 months with pay... For the act of not informing us or the upper echelon of the use of the Angels... They could have killed you if not careful... They may judged your worth but if you use it again without the proper rights it would have killed you regardless of your regenerative abilities...” Victor ordered.

“I have to agree... The Angels are not to be messed with... Lady Tallis in her lifetime had never bothered to use the angels as they would have easily killed her... That is why it is forbidden to use those suits that is why they were hidden in the Night Hawk... Please my son be more wary about what you do... A life is a precious gift and must be cherished as you are only given one life do not waste it...”Charlotte said as she walked towards her son.

"I understand Mother, Father... I only risked it once to save my friends and others who needed help... I have no other excuse.” Kent stated with no other response.

“Very well Kent I had made it official your fleet are to stay away from any major military operation and only limited to civilian duties... You are not authorized to leave the vicinity of Ren’veil sector space for the next 3 months. I officially passed the order to your admiralty they are already aware... If their is nothing else my son... You are dismissed.” Victor said with a smile.

The young knight saluted both of them and left the study he sighed and returned to his room and ordered a conference call with his chain of leadership.

“SO everyone I understand you recieved my Father and Mother’s memo?” Kent asked.

“Yes sir... I never realized that the entire fleet would be affected but anyway we are officially suspended for 3 months with pay hopefully nothing comes up that need us to take action...”Karen stated.

“not that I needed money anyways but you lot get my point let’s not cause trouble for the next three months and enjoy a bit of R&R... Also my team please meet me at New Hope if you are on Ren’veil if not then it is fine I want to discuss something in private with everyone.” Kent asked.

“Yes Sir!” Everyone saluted as the transmission ended.

He then looked out the window with a sigh he and his team can finally get a decent rest and relaxation time that they deserve and it was the perfect time for him to get in touch with his human half. 

As the day started a new Kent finally wore his civilian clothing a plain white shirt, silver shorts, with black slippers and a blue sleeveless jacket. He then grabbed the trail Blazer and made his way to a tomorrow that never came but will finally start today.

Home for the Holidays: goodbye (1 of 3)

Cookie Bun:  Quinton watched shifter leave, before turning around to see gummy. This was one of the people who tried to eat him at school. Be didnt trust this guy…but it seemed like shifter did.“…..Hey.

GUMMY (LLA):  Gummy looked over to the strange cookie flower, he knew Shifter trusted them for some reason, but he was freaking out. Shifter was gone…he tried to compose himself before he finally said, "We need to find Shifter….” Cookie Bun: “….well…i agree with you on that….

GUMMY (LLA): Gummy gripped the exit candy tightly in his vine, he didn’t know how to feel about the cookie flower, he gave a shaky sigh, "Let’s check the park, then the library… he couldn’t have gone too far, not in the condition he’s in.”

Cookie Bun: “Oh…uh…o-okay.” Quinton forgot this place had a Park…he forgot alot places even existed. But that wasnt important at the moment, what was more important to him was finding shifter.

GUMMY (LLA): Gummy offered a vine to Quintion. "Here, follow me, we can look together”

Cookie Bun: “……Quinton was very hesitant…but he took gummys vine, with his own small chocolate vine.

GUMMY (LLA): Gummy gripped tightly on Quinton’s vine tightly and burrowed the two flowers into the park.  Gummy glanced around, unsure of where to look in the park first. "SHIFTER!”

Cookie Bun: Well, aside from getting pulled from place to place, quinton looked around for a few moments, before calling out.“SHIFTER? SHIFTER! SHIFTER WHERE ARE YOU?

GUMMY (LLA): Gummy dragged quintion around, looking around the park. he looked around noticing the large half omega, by a tree. What was Chimera doing? he went in closer. "Chimera, have you seen…” his voice trailed off seeing a flower being smooched by Chimera.

CuteCat: Shifter froze as Chimera’s mouth pressed against his face. His mind went blank - this had never happened before. He could not account for it, could not understand what it meant. Was this what they wanted of him? His leaves lowered and he just stared at the giant abomination that was kissing him in shock, not hearing anything else that was said to him.

(Dunal) Chimera: he pulls away after a moment, blushing a bright red right down to the tips of his petals, covering his face with his paws

Cookie Bun: Quinton eyes widened as he saw this. He mumbled something to himself, before staring at the floor.

Eclipse/Petals: “Uh.. see? We care!” Petals just smiled awkwardly. Third wheel, much.

GUMMY (LLA): Gummy looked shocked seeing Shifter being the flower of the smooch, looking at chimera… Those two were smoochbuddies…? Shifter had a smoochbuddy…? Gummy didn’t know why but it sort of hurt him…. he couldn’t place the feeling…Gummy shook his head, finally looking over to Shifter, “Shifter! Shifter, I got the candy for you”

CuteCat: Slowly, Shifter’s head tilted to the side. He was staring blankly at Chimera, his voice faded. “Is this why you tortured me?” He didn’t hear Gummy. He had been crying again, but now his gaze was all… wrong. Empty. … He started to laugh, loudly. “You really are all freaks!! It’s not even about him?!” He was bleeding, he was sure of it. He pulled the soul from his chest just to see how badly it was cracked and broken. “It’s all just so you can have fun. Like I tried to have fun.” He couldn’t stop laughing. Nothing he did or promised would stop them. They’d torture and kill him even if he helped Pointy. There was no way out. And that fact held a desperate hilarity.

Cookie Bun: Quinton didnt say anything. He was just eyeing down chimera.

(Dunal) Chimera: No, that isn’t-!

GUMMY (LLA): Gummy went closer to Shifter, he was terrified, this didn’t make sense, why did this…, “Shifter! Shifter, please don’t do anything you’ll regret!”

Eclipse/Petals: Petals was getting restless, unable to get Shifter to understand. “If you want to be like that, ITS ABOUT YOU, IDIOT. Thats why they want YOU to help, cause only YOU know how. Did you not even check out how many are trying to help him too? There are other also worried about you, jeez…”

SpaceConstellation: His head seemed to twitch from yET another argument abrewing in the distance

CuteCat: “Oh right.” Shifter looked straight at Petals, his smile stretching all across his face. “It’s for my own good. He put acid in my eye for my own good.” It had burned, it had hurt. It was for his sake. It was supposed to help him. “He almost decapitated me to make me happy.” He had choked, screamed, everyone staring and watching, telling him to let it happen. “He ripped out my throat over and over to save me.” Screaming, pleading, unable to move. No anesthesia. Unable to breathe. “He tried to keep me here because I’ll be happier that way.” Cut off from his friends, askers, people who wouldn’t hurt him. No way back. “He tore out my petal because I didn’t need it.” Tried to leash him. Cutting, hurting, laughing. Not giving it back. “He hugged and held and called me his baby all to comfort me.” Pleading didn’t help. Nothing helped. Bad touch. “He drugged me so I’d feel better.” Unable to even remember what he had done. “He put metal shards in my neck for my sake.” Painful static images. Couldn’t breathe. So much blood. His voice was getting more and more genuine the more things he listed. My sake. It’s about me.

Eclipse/Petals: Petals felt even worse now, and cringed as he went on. “I… Oh God, they all wanted to help you, but they did it half-way. C'mon Shifter, don’t let those dense people break you…” He went up to Shifter and hugged him, as awkward as it was.

SpaceConstellation: Ayye i could give y'all a piece of my mind for making things worse for him! Ah, he’s bloody innocent n all of you go n think he’s me. hAH I dont know whether to be proud of the insanity or absolutly miserable for bringing this upon him! he cackled, continuing to twitch and watch them in the distance

GUMMY (LLA): Gummy started shaking, tearing up as he heard Shifter talk. did he think that he was going to hurt him too…? did Shifter think he would…“Sh-Shifter….I….” Gummy gripped the candy tightly, he was a horrible friend… he should have come here faster, he should have… “I’m sorry…. I….”

(Dunal) Chimera: Chimera looked down, silent now and in obvious emotional pain

CuteCat: Shifter wrapped his vines around Petals, tightly. Too tight, not letting him move. He whispered to the other flower. “I’ll help you, too.” A third vine searched the ground until he located his knife, raising it and then moving to stab it through Petals’s stem.

Cookie Bun: Quinton stopped eyeing chimera, and floating over to Shifter *Shifter….He was at a lose for words….he knew what it felt like. People forced his to feel someway…others tried and eat him…and people he cared about the most betrayed him.

SpaceConstellation: hOLY FUCK A storms a-brewing! he howled in laughter as the glint of the knife caught his eye

Eclipse/Petals: Petals felt trapped, and with the ominous words Petals tried to escape. “Uh, S-shifter? Are you okay?-”  He did not notice the knife.

(Dunal) Chimera: Chimera moves to stop him, then hesitates Shifter….?

GUMMY (LLA): Gummy gripped the candy tighter, breaking it in half  as he started to worry. Gummy noticed how they candy broke taking part of it going towards Shifter, “SHIFTER! I CAN SEND YOU HOME!” He couldn’t take it anymore, he wanted to help shifter, he knew whatever was happening it was just like him before, Shifter was scared, he had to be… “SHIFTER PLEASE- j-Just listen to me!”  " ….I can….“ gummy sniffed, shaking. "I…”

CuteCat: Shifter dug the blade deep into Petals’s stem , then unwrapped his vines from his victim and backed up a step. “It’s for your own good,” he said, more amused than he had any right to be. He twisted and pulled the knife, not back, but to the right as he tried to slice most of Petals’s stem apart and cripple him. “You’ll thank me later.” He laughed, remembering those words. Immense, blinding, helpless pain with that little phrase attached. … Why were there tears in his eye? No matter. His insides were still bleeding. He wanted it to stop.

SpaceConstellation: WOOOOO! Hes laughing so freaking much stop that MUUUUUURDEEEERRRRR!

Nightmare (Celestia - Admin): Nightmare appeared next to Gummy and put a vine on him gently. Looked at him then on the place where Shifter was. He noned to this side, like… giving signal to someone. After a moment Candy appeared next to Shifter behind his back and used on him quick sleep magic.

Eclipse/Petals: When that slice cut through Petals stem, all he could do was open his mouth in a silent scream. “Don’t… be… 3…” was what he managed to croak out, just before fainting from the extreme pain

GUMMY (LLA): Gummy looked over to nightmare he was sobbing. he pulled out a few more vines, he just wanted his friend… he just wanted to help… why couldn’t he… “Shifter… pl… please….”  " I just…. I…“

Nightmare (Celestia - Admin): (will wait for CC response now, moment)

(Dunal) Chimera: Chimera just listens, crying Please, don’t…! Don’t do this….!

CuteCat: Shifter was cackling and crying at the same time, a deranged grin on his face, but before he could do anything else something struck him. He froze, faltering and swaying, trying to fight against it, but he was weak and within moments he had collapsed, dropping his knife and passing out. he picks up both fainted flowers in his paws No….

Nightmare (Celestia - Admin): Nigthmare took Gummy to his vines and hugged him, trying to make him calm down. "I-it’s okey… h-he is alright… just fell asleep…” He said also shivering and crying little.  He could come faster… if he only knew…

SpaceConstellation: HAHAHA! Castor had seemed fo limp toward them now wHAT A SIGHT!  look at em swirling eyes of murky green insanity~

Nightmare (Celestia - Admin): “Chimera! Take Petals to hospital! Now! We will take care of Shifter with Gummy…” He said still hugging friend.

SpaceConstellation: wHY did cha stop it? It woulda been nice to see an argument escalate that far! You gotta go aaaalllll the way or its useless!

(Dunal) Chimera: he nods, putting Shifter down and Petals in his maw, barreling at Castor with rage in his eyes

GUMMY (LLA): Gummy held nightmare tightly, he couldn’t stop crying, he couldn’t stop. his shaking wouldn’t stop, he was a horrible friend, he did everything he could and still… why couldn’t he be a good friend, he tried, he’s do anything… Shifter didn’t even notice him… it was like he…. “I… I just want to send him home… I j-just want him to be safe… I… just want…. ” Gummy’s grip tighted as he started to get thornier. he could hardly speak, “I just want…. to wake up….”

Eclipse/Petals: Petals barely reacted to the surroundings, still unconscious from the pain

SpaceConstellation: he sneered, sliding to the side and whipping his tailcoats like he was that person with the red flag n Chimera was the bull Too slooowww! Why dontcha take your rage into a tree?

Nightmare (Celestia - Admin): “SHUT UP!” He looked angry with his scary face at Castor. Then he pet little Gummy stem. “G-gummy… we must take Shifter to somewhere safe, without people which can hurt him… i-is he… is he even alright? Is someone hurt him physically? I must know!” He looked worried but tried to stay calm and help Gummy to calm down.

(Dunal) Chimera: he snarls, putting Petals beside him and quickly healing him before running at him again

Nightmare (Celestia - Admin): Candy after moment, came next to Nightmare, just listening with frown to talk.

SpaceConstellation: You charge with no clear sense of attack! And oh my dear Nightmare, dont flatter me with that look! he seemed to enjoy the scary face Nightmare made while sidestepping to the right again just as before

Cookie Bun: This whole thing was confusing. Everything had happened so fast… *…Wha…Shifter…why……

CuteCat: Unconscious as he was, Shifter could not move in any way and was thus easily carried. Small, too.

SpaceConstellation: Im not here to hurt anyone, seeing as everyone hurts tHEMSELVES! I would rarher talk thank you!

Eclipse/Petals: Petals twitched a little from the brief healing, but still did not wake up. Still stuck on the ground.

SpaceConstellation: he seemed to bubble with glee in the chaos

GUMMY (LLA): Gummy sniffed, he try to calm down, he could hardly get out the words, “I-I have space… he’ll be… safe…” he reubbed his eyes..pausing a moment as he tried to settle down, “ L-letep kept… stalking u-… I tried to stop hi-…. ”

(Dunal) Chimera: he manages to twist once he side steps and lunges right at him

SpaceConstellation: his hands lash out and stomp onto the beasts muzzle, propelling him up and over the beast instead of being smushed flat. Unfortunately momentum wise he lands on the beasts back

(Dunal) Chimera: he tries to buck him off, and Castor has a clear line of sight to his sensitive antenna, damaged speaker and vital soul tubes on the back of his neck

SpaceConstellation: His hands latch onto the back,  and once his legs are locked around in a stradle,  it’s awfully hard to buck him off. Stick man has great muscles in da legs or how would you poledance~? His whole mouth n teeth snap out to chomp into the antenna

Nightmare (Celestia - Admin): “Hm?” He didn’t understood the last words but at least understood that there is some place when Shifter can be safe. “O-okey… we… must go there… take Shifter with us and go there. I have few things in inventory for him if he will feel bad or will be hurt.” He looked at sleeping Shifter… “You should take him to your vines  Gummy… if he would wake up suddely it’s better for him to have you as close as it’s possible…”

GUMMY (LLA): Gummy nodded, rubbing his eyes one last time and going to grab Shifter, he wrapped him in his vines and carried him towards nightmare. “Follow me….”

(Dunal) Chimera: he screeches, desperately trying to claw him off, his antenna easily snapping, but giving his mouth a powerful zap in the process CuteCat:  Shifter was easily picked up, hanging limply in Gummy’s vines. SpaceConstellation: He twitches in pain from the zap, hair fizzling with electricity ,but it turns into a moan as he lets go and drops to the ground, since the reflex is to arch your back, thus tilting down. He hits the ground running in a sporadic way

(Dunal) Chimera: he instantly follows, even more angry now

SpaceConstellation: Im sO glad i flustered uou this way dear Chimera! Oh Guuuummmeeeeyyyyyyy!

(Dunal) Chimera: he starts moving faster, surprisingly fast for a beast his size

GUMMY (LLA): Gummy gripped Shifter tighter, extending a vine to nightmare, and attempted to burrow with the 2 in vine to the hotel room. He wasn’t going to let Shifter go no matter what. Nightmare (Celestia - Admin): Nightmare burrow with Gummy to some room in hotel. He looked little around at least here Shifter will be safe. Nightmare was silence for a moment. "I… don’t even know what exactly happened there… and… I don’t know if I want to know…“ He said sadly llooking at the floor.”

Cookie Bun: “Hey wait- “ Quinton teleports tot he hotel, looking around for nightmare, and gummy.

Theo Raeken Prompt (Wattpad) Part 1

"So, I've got news for you." Scott says as we walk through the school doors.

"Oh, great idea Scott. Wait until we're inside the noisy school walls to tell me something important." I say sarcastically, throwing my hands in the air and rolling my eyes.

"Sorry." Scott says unapologetically. "Anyways, the news-"

"Hey, there pigtails." a voice says from behind us.

"Oh no. No no no." I say, not turning around. Only one person would call me that. "Scott, no. Please say no. I did not just hear that."

Scott gives me a small, sheepishly apologetic shrug, and I find myself forced to turn around.

I have to say, I wasn't expecting him to look this...hot. The Theo Raeken I knew wasn't this good looking a long time ago.

"Wow, pigtails, talk about a major makeover." Theo says as his eyes look me up and down.

I roll my eyes and try not to hit him. Little jerk. I mean, yes I can say the same about him, but I won't.

"I'm glad to see you too, Theo." I say, the sarcasm clear in my voice.

"I thought you were that same little girl with braces and pigtails," Theo starts, ignoring what I said, "Now you're clearly a babe."

"Shut up. I hate it when people say I'm a 'babe' it pisses me off. I'm not one of those sluts that like to be groped and called weird kinky names." I say, crossing my arms and preparing myself to walk away.

"Well, that role would definitely suit you." Theo says, licking his lips.

"Scott," I say, turning to my big brother. "I'll see you later?"

"Uh, yeah, see you." he says and I walk away, ignoring Theo. He's such an ass.

"You're an idiot, Theo." I hear Scott say.

"I was being honest." I hear Theo reply.

"Whatever it was, stop it. I don't want to know that you're calling my sister anything that's not her name. You hear me?" Scott orders. Having a big brother definitely has its perks.

"Fine. But if she keeps walking like that, it's going to be difficult."

*

As I plop down on my usual seat in math class, my mind wanders back to Theo. Little flirt. I've seen him flirt with every single girl that took a second glance at him. I don't know why, but it makes my blood boil every time he makes a girl blush. Just the thought of the possibility of Theo hanging out with one of those Greek goddesses from the school makes me want to kill them. I don't know-

"Woah, someone's in a mood." Theo suddenly says, breaking my thoughts.

I look at him and offer him a glare. "What are you talking about?" I snarl.

"I'm a chimera, I can smell it." he says, immediately capturing my attention.

"You're kidding," I say, giving him a suspicious glance.

"No I'm not." Theo says, shaking his head.

I blink. I can't believe it. I've always wanted to be a chimera. The thought of being able to turn into an actual wolf has always been appealing to me. And I have to say, I'm a little jealous of him.

"Anyways, having a moody day?" Theo asks me, sitting on the seat next to me.

"I'm fine," I say, not missing the annoyed tone that comes out of my lips.

"No you're not. I can smell your anger and I can hear that you're lying. What's up?" he asks.

"You are in no position to ask that. I barely know you-"

"I haven't changed since fourth grade." He cuts me off.

I give him a 'really?' glare. "I doubt that." I say lamely.

"Ohh definitely in a terrible mood," Theo teases, pushing it a little too far.

"Shut up." I snarl, looking away from him as I open my notebook and start doing little meaningless scribbles on the pages.

The class starts and, as usual, my mind goes to everything else that isn't math. I can just borrow Scott's notes from his Sophomore year. It's a good thing we keep all the school stuff at home.

"Miss. McCall?" the teacher suddenly asks, making me whip my head up from my notebook and stare at her.

Uh oh. Did she ask me something? Is she going to ask me about what she was explaining? Oh God, this is why I'm supposed to pay attention in class.

"Yes?" I ask, trying to sound completely innocent.

"Are you okay? You're looking rather pale." She replies.

I'm about to say that I'm fine, when an idea rushes to my head. I can pretend I'm feeling a little off and I can get out of here. I don't want to stay, and I most certainly don't want to be around Theo. Getting away is a huge help.

"Actually," I say, "I'm feeling a little dizzy. I was about to ask if I could go to the nurses office."

"And maybe I should take her," Theo suddenly says.

I jerk my head in his direction and I give him a glare, which he ignores.

"You know, just in case something happens to her." He explains.

"Yes. Go, go." the teacher says, waving at us in dismissal before turning back to the board.

I sigh in annoyance as I gather my things and sling my backpack over my shoulder, Theo following suit.

I quickly walk out of the classroom. With any luck, I'll be able to make it out of Theo's sight and I can run off back home.

Unluckily for me, Theo catches up. "Aren't we supposed to be going to the nurses office?" he asks.

"I'm bailing. I don't want to be here anymore," I say, shrugging carelessly.

"You can't leave," Theo says, shaking his head. "You don't have a ride."

"I don't need one. I can just walk." I say, seeing where this is leading.

"You're walking three miles?" he asks, clearly knowing I'm not going to walk.

I abruptly come to a stop, and I turn to Theo with an annoyed glare. "Look if you want to take me home, fine. Just as long as I get out of this place. Now shut up and stop pretending like you know what's going on in my mind because trust me, you don't." I snarl, my voice full of venom.

Theo blinks, clearly surprised by the sudden answer. But he recovers and says, "Let's go, then."

We walk the rest of the way to his car in complete silence. I don't look at him, but I can feel his eyes on me. What is he looking at me for? Do I have something on my face? Did my makeup smear? His staring is making me uneasy, he should stop. It's annoying.

"Well, here it is." Theo says, stopping next to a huge gray pickup truck.

I can't hide my surprise. I had a hunch that Theo was one of those bad boys, and I expected him to own a fancy Porsche or a really expensive motorcycle, but this beautiful truck took me by surprise. I've always liked big cars, and the fact that Theo owns one kind of gives me a feeling I can't quite understand about him.

"This truck is amazing..." I say in complete awe. My mouth is slightly open and my eyes are looking at the vehicle in front of me.

"Yeah," Theo says, his voice perfectly smooth. I'm guessing he wanted to impress me, and I'm sure he's proud he did.

"Wow." is all I manage to get out.

"Get in," Theo says, opening the passenger door for me.

Normally, I would've been a little more conscious about what I was doing, but there was a feeling I had and I couldn't push it away. It was distracting me. Something to do with this car, that's what it was. But I had a strange sensation that maybe it had something to do with Theo.

I hop on the passenger seat and Theo closes the door. Being in a big car like this gives you a powerful feeling.

Theo gets into the driver's seat and he closes his door. "What do you think?" he asks.

"You've got one hell of a car," I say, looking out the window and down to the floor which seems really far away.

Theo gives a small chuckle and he turns the truck on, and I don't have a clue how, but my eyes are suddenly on his amazing arms. He's got a lot of muscle, so much that you can see his toned body through the hoodie he's wearing. I find myself staring and I blush, looking away. What's going on with me?

Minutes later, we're on the road, and I'm looking out the window without actually looking. My eyes are staring blankly ahead, while my mind keeps going back to Theo. Why? I don't know. But I don't have a problem with it, at all. The idea of Theo without a shirt is basically making me drool. And let's not even talk about him without any clothes at all-

"What are you thinking about?" Theo asks, knocking me out of my daydreams.

"Oh, n-nothing." I lie, knowing very well that I'm bright red.

"Are you sure about that? I could smell very...ah, lustful emotions coming from you." He says, a little amused yet awkward look on him.

"I-uh," I stutter, blushing even more, "Just, uh, thinking about someone. That's-That's all."

Theo looks at me sideways, a curious look flashes in his eyes. "Who were you thinking about?" he asks.

"Nobody of your interest." I say, looking away from him and turning back to the window, trying to hide my face which looks like it's on fire.

"That only makes me want to know even more," he says, and I know that he's going to keep insisting until I give him a name.

So I say the first one that comes to mind.

"Liam. I was, uh, thinking about Liam." I lie, and I almost laugh at myself because of the name. Liam? Really? He's never going to belive me.

"Oh. Okay," Theo says, much to my surprise.

The rest of the way is silent. And it's only when I snap myself out of my dirty thoughts and back into real life that I realize that Theo's not taking me home.

"Theo, where are you going?" I ask him, looking at him.

"I'm going to my house. I need to get something first." He says, not taking his eyes off the road.

I narrow my eyes at him. "What do you need to get?"

"Something very important." He says. "And I'm not telling you what it is, so don't bother asking."

I sigh in annoyance. And then I get a little scared. What if he's a bad guy? Like a villain? And what if he's taking me to his house to murder me?

Calm down, I tell myself, Just don't get out of the car and you'll be fine.

I pay close attention to the road, making sure that I remember any distinctive things that might help someone find me.

When we get there, Theo gets out and he opens up the door for me.

"Oh, no. I'm okay. I'll just stay here." I tell him, giving him a false reassuring smile.

"You're kidding right? It's three degrees out here." He says.

He's right. I can't deny the fact that I feel the absence of heat outside. It's freezing and I don't want to die just yet.

Just be completely careful. Don't let your guard down and you'll be fine.

"Fine," I say, cautiously getting out of the car.

I hear Theo close the door behind me and lock the car before his footsteps reach me and we walk side-by-side to the front door.

He takes the keys out of his pocket and he opens the door, holding it for me.

I give him a slight thankful smile as I walk in and I'm immediately glad I did. It's perfectly warm in here. It's very nice.

There's an armchair to the right, along with a sofa and a few small chairs. In the center of the seats, there's a brown carpet under a wooden coffee table.

Beyond the small living room, you can see the dining room. There's a brown eight-seater table, above it hangs a beautiful chandelier that shines with crystals.

To the left there's a door that I'm guessing leads to the kitchen and the stairs are beside it.

"Are your parents here?" I ask him, just to make sure that we're not alone.
