This was the place, you were sure of it. Makeshift shrines dotted the dark rocks, and eerie, electric blue lava was seeping down the side of the volcano below you, a stark contrast to the gray blanket of clouds from which you dropped. Wings flapped silently as you spotted the ledge, before circling once, twice…yes, this was it. So, the past few months have been…rough. First there was that thing with the wings-and-horns on the beach and the way you kind of totally lost your mind before (surprise, surprise) running away. Then, there was Muriel—that had been a bright spot, you won’t deny it—but then the floating island had spontaneously exploded. And then, while you were looking for her (or let’s be honest, her body, because you’d barely made it out alive), you’d found Bellona, who’d been avoiding you for months. But for some reason, your feelings hadn’t gotten the memo that she just wasn’t that into you, dude, so there you were all of a sudden, trekking after her as the world literally had ended around you…and don’t even get you started on the flood and the time you’d had to spend in that awful rickety boat. Oh, and did you mention that you’d been forced to bunk with your worst enemies? At the time, it had all seemed bearable because of her. Who knew why; what had she ever done for you? Nothing. Yet you would have followed her to the ends of the earth all the same. Still, you should’ve known better. As soon as the boat and its supernatural captain had dumped you out on terra firma and sent you to repopulate the earth, guess who disappears? It seemed like little Miss Thang had a penchant for heartbreak, because she’d vanished without a trace, and this time, you got the sense that it was for good. You’d seen the way she would stare off into the distance, eyes flashing before stalking off, pacing like some caged animal. She was too wild, her spirit too free to be tied down by an emotion as feeble as lo—no. It had never been love. But it had been just as dangerous, whatever had grown between you. When you’d finally come to your senses and realized that she was gone, you’d seen how dependent you’d become on her, how weak you’d been. Though it pained your most macho of hearts to admit it, you’d been whipped. Your lust had enslaved you to that agile peacock body and unforgiving tongue, and it disgusted you now to think of how you must have trailed in her wake like that shape-shifting dog of hers. You vowed that you wouldn’t let it happen again. So what were you still doing here, then? You had been on schedule to fly the coop yourself before this whole trainwreck of events, hadn’t you? But the flood had changed everything. This place was full of magic, and you had always accepted it as a state that came with the territory, but that flood had been decidedly freaky. Supernatural, even. You had never been one to believe in anything you couldn’t see, eat, or *ahem* bang, but even you couldn’t ignore the rumors that circulated on board: the ones controlling all this were gods, and the giant you’d glimpsed at the helm was one of them? At first, you’d rolled your eyes; Helovians were strange creatures with stranger customs. But then: there in the dark, amidst the creaking of the wood and the howling of the wind, you’d heard it said that the gods would grant power to those who asked. Of course, it had all been a lot to take in at the time, and you’d been to busy trying to accidentally-on-purpose bump into Bell, but a seed had been planted. And now, with every distraction weeded from your life, it bloomed. Months later, here you were. If the rumors were true, your life would never be the same. "talk talk talk" OOC: Using my VOTG pass to quest for [Magic: Dark x Fire | Ability to breathe thick, choking smoke that can be used in battle to restrict opponent's breathing.] [Restrictions: Cannot actually suffocate anyone. The smoke itself isn't magical, and its effects are merely the symptoms of smoke inhalation.] Either Sunny or Moony is fine! @[Official] The thread wouldn't give me the option of an RE prefix for some odd reason, so tagging you just in case! |
