//This is a bit of a longer drabble but I’ve been thinkin about it!
Ezreal was used to strange and vivid dreams. His constantly running mind combined with his vivid and expansive imagination made for quite the combination every time he fell asleep. He had seen everything from his day to day activities to fantastical landscapes that he failed to describe with ay sort of accuracy. But even then, none of his dreams were quite this vivid. The way the cold stone felt on his finger tips. The soft whistle of the wind through the canyon the peaks illuminated against the dark sky.. The end of the canyon featured a building unlike any he had ever seen. It glimmered as if it was made of moonlight itself, sitting perfectly among the darkened rocks. It looked stunning from afar, but up close Ezreal found it to be even more splendid. The architecture of the building he was in was incredibly unique, made of graceful circles and curved structures. It reached up into the sky, nearly blending in with the stars with its beauty. The structure had an allure to it, the same kind of allure that often drove Ezreal into the most remote of ruins, they always had a sort of life to them as if they were breathing. It’s a dream he figured, what's the absolute worst that could happen. Curiously he peeked inside, noting the delicate and smooth texture of the stone the outside seemed to be composed of. It didn’t feel like normal stone. It felt frictionless, otherworldly even. He was surprised to see that the walls just inside the massive structure were absolutely covered in designs, an incredible amount of detail even for one of his dreams. The intricate carvings swirled all around, converging in beautiful starry patterns along the ceiling creating a soft glow that bathed the mostly white inside the same peaceful light. Ezreal stepped closer to one of the distinctive massive circular doors, peering curiously at the runes all around it. Mouthing the words carefully, passing over runes he had never seen before. “These look like ancient Shuriman..Targonian maybe..” he mumbled to himself in habit, rubbing his chin with his finger. The runes were reflected in the art that covered even the massive pillars inside the structure, carved depictions of what looked like the sky and the stars illuminated by the light of the silvery moon. He smiled softly at the thought of the moon. “Phel..” he whispered as he thought of his darling partner. Maybe all his time listening to the other talk about his people had finally started to take hold in his dreams. He sighed as he reminisced, the longing tugging painfully at his chest. Usually when he dreamt Phel was there, or at least he wasn't’ alone. Peculiar he thought that this time he was all alone. He crept towards the center of the temple, trying his best to look down each of the massive dark halls that lined the center atrium. The massive alter sat on one end, again ringed in beautiful white stone opening its mouth wide to the expanses of the heavens.
“How big is this place..” he whispered to himself, even that soft sound echoing off the walls.
“Big enough to get lost, I have a lot in my time here.”
he nearly jumped at the sound of another voice, a tiny yelp escaping his lips. He whipped around, his left hand instantly pointed in the direction of it, quickly realizing he had failed to dream himself with any kind of protection. The owner of the voice was a woman, her hair silvery, her dark clothes glittering as they fell around her body with a grace he had yet to see anywhere else. “Don’t worry, I’m a friend.” she smiled, her head tiling ever so slightly to the side. Her voice was melodic, soothing even. A comfort in a place that seemed to only get stranger.
“I’m just happy that I managed to get you here.”
“Here?” Ezreal asked, his brows raising in confusion. “Yes here, the Marus Omegnum. It’s a mysterious place isn't it. It rarely shows itself to others. Hidden in a space between our world and the next over”. Ezreal mulled the words over in his mind, the familiarity of the name floating on the tip of his tongue, rubbing his chin with his fingers gently. “I just wanted to see if i could meet you at least once, since my brother seems to be so deeply in love with you.” His thoughts shattered like glass as the realization hit, his eyes blinking quickly in surprise. “Wait, you’re Phel’s sister??” he exclaimed. She smiled and nodded. “Yes, that would be me. I’m Alune.” she said as she made a slight bow. “Well it’s great to meet you, I’m Ezreal but i’m assuming you knew that.” he beamed with a cheeky smile, his hands resting on his hips. She giggled “Cheeky I see, I didn't expect anything less. Forgive me for dragging you here. Maybe it’s selfish of me..iIjust wanted to see what you were like. She looked Ezreal up and down a little, her slender brows arching. “I just never imagined this was his type.” Ezreal blew his bangs from his eyes with a huff. “What’s that supposed to mean?” It got a laugh from her. It was gentle like a bell ringing, much like Phel’s. “Nothing, i just didn’t think he was into blondes. I figured from the way that you make him feel you must be quite spectacular”
“Do you still...feel what he feels I suppose?”
“A little, I can feel the very intense emotions. We were linked so closely for so long after all. You can imagine my surprise when i started to feel the intense passion just flow from him.” Ezreal couldn’t help but blush, rubbing the back of his head sheepishly. “I try, your brother can be hard to read. At least I know I'm doin somethin right.” She turned towards the moon hanging in the starry abyss in the opening of the back of the temple, leaning back against the pillar. “He didn’t used to be you know. He was always smiling when he was younger. I still remember his laugh when it used to ring through the night air.” her eyes fell as the reality came back to her, the heavy fate that they both were forced to carry. “It feels like so long since I’ve even seen him smile, since I’ve seen the light in his eyes.” Ezreal leaned against the wall near to her. They had only just met, but he felt the pain that hung in the air. The inability to help the person most dear to her.
“Well if it makes you feel any better, he smiles a lot now.” Ezreal added softly.
She shifted a little, sitting up a little straighter. “So I assume he’s doing well then?”
“extremely. He’s always smiling and laughing, he has his own job now too. He’s even picked up a few hobbies and made some friends. Everyone adores him.” Her eyes glittered, rubbing them carefully with her slender fingers. “I’m glad. That’s all I ever wanted for him. I never wanted to have to put him through so much pain and suffering. He deserves so much more than that. He is such a kind and gentle soul.” “He really is.” Ezreal sighed as he thought of his partner, all the joy and light that he brought. “He’s so sweet, I’m always surprised at how kind and loving he truly is. Every day I wake up and I love him more than I did the day before.
“I’m glad you’ve found my brother. I can tell you from the bottom of my heart you make him nothing but happy.” Her voice sounded pained, full of desperate longing.
“Well he does the same for me, I love your brother more than anything.” Alune was quiet for a moment, lost in thought. Ezreal wasn't sure what to say to her, she had such an ethereal presence- otherworldly almost. Someone who always seemed so far by the way Phel talked about her yet sitting here she seemed so vulnerable. “Do you stay here alone?” Ezreal finally asked, shattering the silence like a sheet of thin glass. She nodded. “Isolation...it’s part of what I must do for our people.”
“If Phel doesn’t have to live in pain, you don’t have to be here alone either.”
“Maybe not...but if it’s my orbit then so be it at least it's something that will end in good. The light of the moon will be able to shine on our people again.”
“I wish there was something I could do..for both of you.”
“Just promise me you’ll care for him, give him a life that he could never have.” her voice sounded like it was about to break, turning away from Ezreal in the process. “If you can help at least him, then it would be alright.” “Of course I would, I’d never let anything happen to him. I’d give him the world if I could.” the tears trickled down her cheek. “As i thought, my brother found someone truly amazing.” she whimpered. “Thank you Ezreal, for everything.” She whispered, the tears trickling down her cheeks like stars. Her smile large and bright, matching the soft light that glimmered through the temple. The light fluttered and obscured his vision, quickly climaxing in his eyes opening. The white temple was gone, replaced by the glimmering lights through his window, the distant sounds of the city droning on behind him. He felt the bed shift to his side, arms still wrapped tightly around his waist. The soft sound of Phel’s breathing creating a peaceful atmosphere. Ezreal smiled, running his fingers down Phel’s cheek, gently brushing the long dark bangs aside. He grunted softly as he turned closer to the blonde, nestling deeper into comfort. “I love you Phel..” he whispered as he kissed his lover's forehead, nestling close to his chest. “I love you more than anything...and I always will.”
