♚— It took a while but the page explaining Purgatory and the Shades is finally complete. This is another one I suggest future roleplay partners getting familiar with even on the lightest level, since it will affect my interpretation of Byaku in interactions.

Because it’s also a personal reference sheet, I am expecting to add, change, or remove content whenever I feel like I can do better than what I currently have, but right now it feels alright.

If anyone has any questions about Purgatory, or whatever, you can ask me at any time regarding it. Especially if we’re going to be roleplaying together. I want to make sure the idea of Purgatory is solid to other people so that we can avoid understanding hiccups.

Part 2: Unfortunately for Byaku, Phantasos appeared behind him and blew into his ear. She spoke in an eerie voice, “Hello.~ You look very delicious.” She took a step back and giggled at his reaction. She was not into scaring people like her brothers were but pranking people was fun.

۞ ┊ Byaku really thought that the night's pranks were over. The entire night he has been nothing short of harassed by his fellow Specter companions. At least, the ones on his level. His superiors disliked participating in 'children's play', as Lune once put it. But, woe, the poor teenager completely forgot about a certain goddess that loved to torment him.

۞ ┊ "AH!" the man jumped out of his skin -- his fists tightened and he became as stiff as a wooden plank. He really hated this day, every year...

He was, yet again, seconds away from opening Purgatory.

But the boy turned and gave a pathetic whine when Phantasos turned away from him with a giggle. "Aah... You and Bi Fang are going to kill me one day!!"

#EternalStarlights #EternalStarlights;;SurrealDreams #(SORRY AGAIN FOR BEING SUPER LATE AHH)#(HALLOWEENIE GOO)#۞ ┊ Queued Reply #(I also had to change my quick tag to put in your new URL so haha)#(that's anther thing I procrastinated on orz)

Part 1: “Boo!” Ember shouted as she jumped out to scare Byaku. It didn’t help that she was also dressed up as a bloody monster. She couldn’t help but laugh. “You are so easy to scare!”

۞ ┊ Byaku was already tormented by the Shades that decided to violate their side of the unspoken contract. It was hilarious that the Beasts of Purgatory and the Gates seem to wane in strength over these wretched shadow beings around the same night every year. So, every time he slept, his hold over Purgatory loosened and the damnable Shades that were bold enough to attempt the barrier slipped through.

He was sporting a headache while he was writing into one of the many Life Tomes within the First Court. After all, it wasn’t that long ago that he woke up... which means, it wasn’t that long ago when he had to hurriedly shepherd the wondering souls back into Purgatory. Damn things still scared him, even at the tender age of 18...

So, he wasn’t expecting it when a bloody faced monster jumped at him from the corner of his vision. The teenager jolted and tensed his hands around the quill--moments away from dragging this would-be wayward soul into Purgatory. But he stopped himself a second early, and when he recognized who it was, he heaved a sigh before letting his forehead meet rather brutally with the open book.

۞ ┊ “Aah...” Byaku sheepishly smiled after sighing out his anxiousness. There wasn’t much he could say to refute the statement made by his Specter colleague. “Yes... yes, haah... I guess I am...”

The boy cleared his throat before he returned to his tasks of writing down names he remembered from Purgatory. “Nice prank, but please don’t scare me like that again...! I nearly sent you to a nasty place.”

Part 3 of 3: Finally, the party was over and it was the end of the day. Perhaps out of exhaustion, Byaku had fallen asleep. Phantasos decided to put him into bed and gave him a soft kiss on his forehead before giving him a good dream. “Sweet dreams, birthday boy.” (I want to give him some fluff between them like sibling fluff since she is always teasing poor Byaku haha)

۞ ┊Byaku was already asleep, so he didn’t feel much of what was happening around him. But, after he was tucked in and given his night kiss on the forehead, the Necromancer sighed and shuffled into those comfortable covers.

He loved how the night ended, with his belly filled and his usually quiet days littered with awkward small talks and all... but, as much as this was a good day for him, in the morning he’ll get dragged out of bed and forced to work by his Superior.

#starlightofdream #StarlightofDreams;;SurrealDreams #(Thank you again!!)#(Good night Byaku~!!)#(I'm surprised Phantasos was this kind HAHAHHA)#(She does have a sweet side!)

Part 2 of 3: “Byaku!” Ember swung her arm around Byaku. “Are you enjoying the party? After this, we can go to a brothel. Man or woman, you can choose your pick on who to sleep with. It will be my treat. Also, Happy Birthday.”

Ember gave Byaku two gifts. One was a book on how to flirt and get a date. That gift was just a joke from Ember. The other gift was a fancy quill for Byaku to use to write.”

۞ ┊Byaku was enjoying a fruit punch-like drink when Ember hooked her arm around his neck. Not that it was any bother to Byaku at all. No, the boy had no real opinion or dislike about being touched in such a familiar matter. He was in the middle of slurping his drink when she suggested that they go to a brothel.

The Virgin immediately started to cough. He turned his burning face from the woman and covered his mouth.

۞ ┊ "N-No brothels, please," the young man's voice was pitched from embarrassment. God, Lune would give him an earful if duties at the first court were delayed for the sake of fleshly pleasures...!

After he had gotten the droplets of juice out of the 'wrong tube' of his throat, he returned his attention to her. Ember was kind to present him with real gifts. Well... one of them. Although the book was nice to give to Lune as a daring tease, the stationary was actually something he was looking forward to! His last writing quill was getting dull from overuse.

With a big smile, he patted the woman's back as he said, "Thank you so much for the gift, Ember!"

#starlightofdream #StarlightofDreams;;OnminousFlames (Guest;Ember)#(lmaoooooooooooo HE'S SO EMbARASSED)#(Normal AU Byaku -- the one that's not paired with Athena -- is virgin.)#(But that's because I originally think him too young to be sleeping with people)#(Or at least mentally too young?)#(In my stories Byaku became a specter when he was like around 10 years old. So he keeps that sort of innocence.)#(So while he might be 18 as 'spcter grown adult' he's still pretty young?)#(Like I still see him as young. So in normal verses he's a virgin and in the AthenaOwl verses he's a bit older? But I dunno)#(Thank you again!)

Part 1 of 3: “Happy Birthday!”

Phantasos shouted as she entered Byaku’s room. She did not care that he was working. “Since today is your birthday, you are not allowed to do any work. Come with me!” She didn’t even wait for him to reply and grab his hand to pull him to somewhere else. They left the room and entered in another room that was decorated human birthday decorations and a few specters were in the room. Some of the specters knew who Byaku was while some of them didn’t as they were standing there awkwardly. As soon as Byaku entered, they all shout, “Happy Birthday!” and the party began. There were presents on the table and food on the other table. Phantasos looked to Byaku with a smile.

“So do you like it? Now, tell me what is it that you want, you desire and I can give it to you in real life. You can ask for anything and it won’t be a dream.”

۞ ┊Byaku wasn't expecting anything for his birthday. In fact, in his past life, he never celebrated it due to the horrid living conditions he was in. So, instead, he treated the day as any other work day of the year.

In fact, he forgot it was his birthday. Ever since he turned into a Specter, he hadn't bothered to remember his birthday. Sometimes, he wouldn't realize it was his birthday until the last hour of the day.

That's why when Phantasos barged into the first Court with a bombastic "Happy Birthday!", the Necromancer jumped terribly enough to accidentally close the hefty tome with a thick 'thump!'

The white-haired Specter stared at the goddess with confusion etched on his face until she forbade him from doing any more work that day. "...what? What day is it--"

Unfortunately, Byaku was not allowed time to finish his question when he was dragged out. He was baffled and awkward when he had been dragged to a different section of the Underworld, led to a room of equally uncomfortable comrades who wished him a happy birthday in a loud but unenthusiastic way. But not like Byaku bothered to notice.

As the others were digging into the goodies that they had been eyeing for a long time already, Phantasos came up to the young specter and asked what he wished for.

۞ ┊Byaku blinked, then returned his smile uneasily while saying as sweetly as he could, "What I want...? Well, I would want you to be a friend... and not be so mean to me for most of the next year...!"

#starlightofdream #StarlightofDreams;;SurrealDreams #(! Thank you for this!)#(I actually wasn't expecting anything for Byaku's birthday!)#(Haha I'm surprised you knew of it since he's such a minor character)#(but yes! uvu My Virgo specter baby boy ah)#(Thank you for the asks hahah)

Byaku’s work room was filled with cute chocolate bunnies hopping around. They were even laying chocolate eggs. You can eat them if you want to!

۞ ┊ The boy stared wide-eyed at the chocolate bunnies in his study within the First Court. Oh, he knew this had to be an illusion.... but it didn’t stop his sweet tooth.

Something felt inherently sacrilegious as he reached down to grab one of the milk chocolate eggs from the floor where the bunny just finished shitting it out. As soon as he took a bit from the chocolate egg, he heard a laughing scoff from the corner of the room as his supervisor walked in unexpectedly.

“....It’s chocolate! I swear!”

“Are you sure it is? Shit has the same color. Comes from the same place too, traditionally...”

“LUUUNEE!!!”

#starlightofdream #StarlightofDreams;;SurrealDreams #(WOIFOWHF I'M SORRRYYY)#(There's just something so hilarious about thinking of someone picking up freshly laid 'chocolate eggs'.)

“Did you gave a good night sleep?“ Phantasos asked with a glint in her eye.

۞ ┊ Byaku gave the goddess a childish pout, his shade-shot eyes squinting suspiciously at her. After a moment of contemplation, he decided to brave the question that could possibly land him in heaps of trouble should he have guessed wrong.

“...Were you behind that hella bizarre dream I had?”

It’s not to say that the Necromancer didn’t get a good night’s sleep... well, sorta, but he really wanted to know what the hell was up with the dream he had.

#starlightofdream #StarlightofDreams;;SurrealDreams #(HFWOFOWIHFWEF)#(Byaku's scared and a little freaked out but it's okay AHAHAH)#(He's like the confused little brother that's a victim of his big sister's pranks)

Byaku is asleep and he is having a surreal dream. He is surrounded by sparkling specters, they were all sparkling. They looked directly at Byaku and extended their hand s hand towards him. “Join us, sparkling specters! We will sparkle in the sunlight together! Join us!” Byaku would look down and his surplice would be sparkling like a disco ball. Even Hades was sparkling! Suddenly, he wakes up. (April Fool’s prank from Phantasos)

۞ ┊ Byaku honestly did not have a CLUE on what was going on. He swore that the dream felt too real--much too real than it should!! Just as he was about to panic, he woke up, covered in a cold sweat.

۞ ┊ "What the hell was that!?" the teenager murmured in horror as he pressed a hand against his drenched brow.

Who the hell decided that it was a good idea to give him such a dream!?!

#StarlightofDreams;;SurrealDreams #starlightofdream #(HAHAHAHA)#(Everyone is a disco ball)#(I'm ultra surprised she didn't add Owl Athena--/shot)#(Poor Byaku is just panik! AHAHHA)#(thank you for this dear!)#(I had a good giggle HAHAHHA)

Saints have the Pandora boxes. What about specters? How do you carry your surplice when you are not wearing them?

۞ ┊ "....I think we have something similar," Byaku tapped his lip in thought. "But most of the Surplices don't have cases. Or, rather, we nearly never take off our armor."

#(Thanks for the ask!)#anonymous #(This is weird LOL)#(Becuase I know Poseidon's Scales don't have Pandora Boxes)#(But in every game‚ especially SSO‚ all of the StS Armor has Pandora Boxes.)#(So honestly‚ I don't know!)#(I would say that it's a mixture of some specters having boxes and other spcters not having boxes.)#(In my Original Story/modern AU‚ all of the armors are in dog tags-like how LoS/the Netflix series has it!)

starlightofdream:

He should at least have some more self-love in himself! ‘Such talents are wasted on him’? Phantasos sighed. Was he one of those humans who have low self-esteem? Or was he a human who simply did not care? “I was hoping to hear you brag about your talents. How disappointing that you have none.” Well, whether he did not care or had low self-esteem, that was his own issue to figure out. She was more concerned that he did not know what she meant by desires. Every human should know what she meant by desires. That was why the gods called the humans selfish even if it was hypocritical of them too. She saw nothing wrong with having desires. There were even humans who tried to rid of themselves having desires which was the stupidest idea that she had ever heard of.

“Desires, ambitions, goals, a strong feeling of something you want or wish but can’t have. If a genie was to appear to you and say he can grant you one wish and you can wish for anything you want, what would you wish for? Money, love, fame, a dead loved one, revenge, what is it? Or do you need me to look into your deepest desires and tell you what your own desires are?” She asked him what kind of life did he lived. She was curious but she did not expect him to give her an answer. She thought he would avoid the question or tell her she was not allowed to ask him something so personal. So she was surprised when he answered. He was a child used by his own parents as a slave to use his abilities and get money, become rich. Growing up to be used as a tool and given no love while being abused, she would have thought he would be angry or sad. However, his face was blank of emotion, almost as if he was at peace. Was he trying to hide his emotions or did he not care? Or perhaps, his own past broke him. “It was definitely not the story I was expecting. Do you desire parental love? Parents who truly love and care for you. Do you want that?”

۞ ┊ Oh, of course he didn’t have any talents... Byaku laughed under his breath at that. Perhaps the only talent he had was singing--a useless thing.

At her question of what he ‘wished for’, Byaku couldn’t help but shake his head in rejection. He wanted nothing of that. There was no real ‘desire’ he felt with the proposal that she gave. Money, fame, revenge - these kinds of things were material and unfitting for him; the nameless boy had no need for such things.

“I don’t think that it’s needed to look into me to find out something that insignificant,” Byaku passed the goddess a pinched smile... something about that sounded so weird. What if she looked into his deepest desires and all she found was like... something stupid like a children’s toy pony? If he didn’t know what he really wanted, how could someone else know?

At her question of him desiring parental love, the man’s expression returned to being blank.

He hadn’t... really thought about it, and it wasn’t a bother to him. He was already past the point of wanting parental love--or any sort of emotional validation.

۞ ┊ “I don’t know,” he said innocently, looking up to the goddess’ eyes -- bafflement clear in his shade-shot eyes. “I never thought of it. And, besides, Minos and Lune have been with me, so I never looked back since then...”

Then after a while, he tilted his head and said, “I really have nothing that stands out for desires. Except, maybe, for people to get along?” It was hard to put that into proper words... but he hated when others fought. War, especially, was something he disliked. People of differing opinions willingly chose to spill blood rather than respect each other and find a middle ground to co-exist in. Conflict is inevitable, but it shouldn’t be to the point of killing senselessly. ‘It’s probably a weird thing for a Specter to say though...”

#starlightofdream #StarlightofDreams;;SurrealDreams #۞ ┊ Queued Reply #(playing into the Headcanon of Byaku being like the Specter version of Shun)#(But ofc it gets weird with Alone being there... if we're truly going the LC route with this)#(So I'd say that if we're going with LC verse then he'll still keep his kind heart but Alone would be the 'more purer' of the two)#(again tho this is pretty much headcanon galore...)#(Because I don't really have another version of Byaku aside from the one I use for my personal story)

starlightofdream:

Phantasos ignored Byaku’s pout as she introduced Ember to Byaku. She could tell that he looked tired. It was most likely because he keeps writing all those reports and working so hard. He needed a rest! He needed to have some fun!

Ember raised her eyebrows at Byaku’s statement about how the Wyvern’s and Garuda’s faction was not doing anything. That was not true. They did a lot, just not these boring paperwork that the Griffon faction liked to do.

“I am Ember, Bi Fang Specter of the Terrestrial Omen Star. So, are you saying that the Underworld can still run without the Wyvern’s and Garuda’s help?”

۞ ┊ The Necromancer made a mental note of the woman’s name and stature. Bi Fang Specter... For sure this was one of Garuda’s people. He vaguely remember having to accompany his Griffon superior to light meetings and he could have sworn he heard that title be used once before. but the young boy was surprised that she was of the Terrestrial rank.

“Pleasure to meet you, Bi Fang,” Byaku hurried through a greeting as he closed the grimoire. It was towards the end of his work anyway, and if Lune is merciful, then he can just redo the last sentence tomorrow. At her words, the boy passed the woman an pitiful expression.

“Tell me, then, what sort of work does Garuda do to help the Underworld run smoothly? Buuut, if my words have offended you, then let me amend my words: Garuda and Wyvern don’t deal with important logistics. ”

۞ ┊ The boy pushed himself to his feet, cradling the large tome close to his chest. His shade-shot eyes passed a curious look to the two ladies as he cocked his head slightly. “What’s the occasion? It’s rare for the first court to have two guests. I doubt you want to check up on a deceased or passing Shade.”

As he spoke, the young judge-in-training walked back to the side room where all of the grimoires of records of the dead were stacked on shelves after shelves. He quickly put the hefty book back to it’s proper spot then slid his finger across the leather spines as he slowly walked down the aisle.

“Lord Master Minos is absent currently,” Byaku mused softly. “And Master Lune has already retired for the night. Since I’m the only one left, I ask that all conversations should remain civil. Is it too much to ask of you two ladies?” He didn’t want them to pull pranks on him and accidentally ruin the library.

#StarlightofDreams;;SurrealDreams #starlightofdream #StarlightofDreams;;OminousFlames(Guest;Ember)#۞ ┊ Queued Reply #(LMAO poor man)#(And ah.. Yeah actually he has met Violate)#(but it was more of a fleeting thing I think?)#(I don't remember that well and I don't know if I got the interactions here on this blog since... haha i did accidentally delete before...)#(I don't know if they interacted outside of crack threads though. I don't remember them having a proper thread but I could be wrong.)#(But again bringing up Zaria feels weird I guess.)#(I mean I know it shouldn't feel weird with her violet but kinda does anyway. Especially since it was a short-lived thing I guess)#(Anyway bets on Byaku pissing off Ember?? //screee)

Unfortunately for Byaku, Ember noticed the drunk and unconscious Byaku on the floor. Giggling to herself, she took this opportunity to draw on his face. When she was done, she left so he would have no idea who did this to him.

۞ ┊ Byaku woke the next day, unaware that he had fallen from his seat (and even more unaware that the servants didn't bother to wake him up). The teenager rubbed his eye and yawned loudly, popping some knots in his joints as he woke from his peaceful sleep.

"Are you up yet?" the impatient voice of his supervisor quickly made the young boy sober from his sleep.

"René!" Byaku bolted to his feet--then winced as his hand rushed up to nurse his sudden headache. "Ugh... What the..."

Lune rose a brow at the young Specter's predicament, a ghost of a smile lighting his lips as he teased, "I heard that you passed out from eating some chocolates. I thought you were able to put away a hoard of these things in less than a day."

Byaku fumbled with his retort as Lune inspected the court's desk. The mystifying Balrog took one glance at the box of chocolates that Byaku ate last night, then rose a brow in interest.

"...You should have saved some for me."

"...What?" Byaku passed his older brother figure a confused glare. What did he mean by that?!

"You have markings on your face," Lune distracted without looking back at the boy. "Whoever drew the dick was very detailed."

The unholy screams that filled the first court were followed by devilish, entertained laughter.

#starlightofdream #StarlightofDreams;;OminousFlames(Guest;Ember)#(LMFAO EMBER NOOO)#(WIEFHOWIEFHOWIEF)#(Poor Byaku is all sorts of BULLIED)#(I LOVE IT)

"Happy Valentine!~" Phantasos said, giving Byaku a box of delicious chocolates. Ember also gave him a box of chocolates but they were alcohol filled chocolates. "You better enjoy those," she said to him. (Ember, he is underage.... Ember: don't care, he better enjoy them, me:...)

۞ ┊ Byaku loved sweets. He loved chocolate. This was the best of all worlds...!!

“Thank you so much!” the young teenager chimed as he accepted the boxes. He would be the worst person on the planet if he didn’t offer them anything in return. So he quickly waved his hand to a large cake sitting on the desk and said, “I made cake earlier for the servants of the first court, but feel free to help yourself to it as well!”

When the Necromancer walked back to the main desk, he immediately ate a box of chocolate in less than ten minutes. Unfortunately, it was the box alcohol chocolates and the boy couldn’t tell.

It didn’t take long for Byaku to get intoxicated and eventually pass out on top of opened books. And this all happened within the hour...

"Your singing voice is the deceptive fae luring foolish women away to the forest, never to be seen again by mortal eyes." ~ Athena the owl

۞ ┊ "You flatter me too much, my love," Byaku chuckled as he took Athena's hands and placed gentle kisses on her knuckles. As he pulled away, he murmured a gentle, sweet love song from his home country.

A test starter between Byaku and Ember from here / @albisnecromantia

“Byakuuu, I brought a friend to have fun with!” Phantasos said as she entered the room without even knocking. Her friend was another specter who was already looking at Byaku with mischievous eyes.

“So this is your super boring friend that you were telling me about. You are right. He does look boring. What are you writing?”

Ember took the book from Byaku’s desk and stared at it for a few seconds before placing it back on the desk.

“So this is what Minos is making his faction do? How boring.”

albisnecromantia

۞ ┊ Byaku was just getting finished with the day’s work. The teenager was mumbling quietly to himself as he was reaching the final stretch of the writing---his hands already aching from how hard he was pressing the quill against the page of the Necronomicon II. Just as he got to the final word, the unexpected intrusion caused him to jump and made him write n error on the last word.

He glanced up to Phantasos with a tired look... God, if he could cry, he would just burst into tears at this point.

“Phantasos...” the Necromancer shot a pout at the women while his eyes observed the newcomer. Perhaps it was instinct, or perhaps it was because he knew everyone from Minos’ squadron already, but he could tell that this ‘friend’ of Phantasos wasn’t from the Griffon’s command. When she picked up the Necronomicon II, Byaku’s eyes narrowed at her - silent, but quite put off by her brash behavior.

...It seriously seemed like the behavior from Garuda’s troops...

۞ ┊”Boring, but with the Wyvern also doing nothing, how else would the Underworld run smoothly if not for Griffon?” Byaku hummed innocently as he inspected the Necronomicon II for any sort of damages after Ember had placed his book back on the desk.

Byaku really didn’t want to get in trouble with one of Garuda’s people, so he quickly followed up his remark with an innocent, “But, ah, neverminded that. I am called ‘Byaku’, Necromancer Specter of the Celestial Spirit Star. And you are...?”

#starlightofdream #StarlightofDreams;;SurrealDreams #StarlightofDreams;;OminousFlames(Guest;Ember)#(OwO/)#(Oh boy poor Byaku...)#(He's gonna feel so trapped in a moment LMFAO)#(How about that? Someone from Garuda and someone from Griffon finally meeting)

Byaku, it seems you fit in the requirements for the purity club. Do you want to join the purity club? (idk if you remember this but haha byaku would fit right in XD)

۞ ┊ What... what was this?

"Purity club? Am I not too old for such things?" Byaku cocked his head to one side as he passed the stranger a confused look. Specters didn't even have such things... Or, if there ever such a thing like a 'club', then it's the club of kicking someone's ass...

"I would join, but I'm a bit confused as to why it's being offered to me..."

#anonymous #(Ofc I remember!)#(I remember a lot of things!! And yeah he would fit the purity club nicely HAHA)#(I doubt he even hit puberty...)#Byaku: Is that an insult!? I'll let you know that I *am* a man!!#(You're a boy in a man's skin...)#Byaku: .........you know i cant deny that. /pensive/
