Something’s familiar about these strangers like me — ;

[hawkwings]

Look at all those strangers. Stranger danger.

Why were so many humans in his forest of peace and solitude? Did he have to start placing signs everywhere that said ‘No stinky humans allowed’? He’d do it. He swore to the animal gods he would.

Quickly and with ease, the tealette leapt down from his place in a tree, bright cyan eyes widening with curiosity when he realized he had stopped in front of one of the people he had been expecting.

Well, this was a thing.

He leaned forward and sniffed. Sniff, sniff, sniff. His hands reached out and landed on the person’s shoulders as he sniffed them over before looking into their eyes with a fierce and demanding little glare.

“What you doing here.” He demanded in his occasional broken English when he was too lost in thought to think over his words.

[drowningmage-blog]

Speechless, was one way to describe how he felt. All he wanted was a peaceful walk, and to get away from all the noise of his memories in the palace--without meeting half animal people from Aeolous jumping down from trees and sniffing him. Was that too much to ask?

"I was just taking a walk." At least he managed to keep his tone clear and face straight through the surprise. "Would you mind not being so close to me?" He asked as politely as he could, without being tempted to just blast him off with a wave of magic.

“No problem! Anything to help out someone’s who’s lost!” Kerrick smiled then, a wide heart-warming smile that contrasted the breaking heart beneath his chest. So his little assumption was right. But despite how torn he felt, he wouldn’t let it crack through into his jubilant exterior. Lethe was fine— Breathing and moving before him. He just needed to tell himself that over and over until this act became real. Kerrick just hoped that this wasn’t another hallucination. 

“But you’re in Der Wolfe! The most wonderful place in the world!” Yeah, in your mind it is Kerrick. “And it’s very nice to meet you, Lethe!” —Again. 

“Name’s Kerrick.” Said he in the most upbeat tone he could manage without losing it. So far it seemed successful, considering that he was fooling himself. That’s good, he thought. “And I seem familiar, huh? I wouldn’t doubt it! I am the king of this beautiful kindgom!” 

…Sounding like an egotistic dumbass? A+ plan, Kerrick. He probably should’ve just told Lethe the truth from the start but he believed that there’s a reason for the gap in the other’s memory. So with this train of thought, the young Earth King would just continue to mask his feelings from now on.

If he was holding anything, he would surely have dropped it then. His face was the picture of surprised, and it took a moment to regain his senses. This boy...was a King? Lethe hadn't met very many kings, but weren't they supposed to be old, and cruel, and not this...normal?

But the boy--no, man had no reason to lie to him. And he showed no signs, no subtle twitches or drops in his tone to indicate that he was lying. Thinking back, he had heard the king of Der Wolfe to be quite young...But this man was even younger than him.

"Your Majesty," He drew back into formality, more than a little nervous to be talking to a king. "I'm sorry, I didn't know--" Leaving abruptly would be rude, but wouldn't treating them as any other person be as well? Oh, he was getting a headache.

   Eh? More humans? Where are they all coming from? Are they all flooding after Fuyumi to follow the crowd or is this all coincidence? Nonetheless, the Eastern Boss wouldn’t ignore them, considering to take in their sights before Deku would blow up his phone and drag them to his apartment. He remembered vividly what had happened the first time. Shaking his head, he digs his hands into his hoodie pockets and gazes at the duo with a puzzled expression.

   “Let me guess: you guys got lost and ended up in the demon world, too?”

[drowningmage-blog]

Wait--what? Did he just say--did he hear that right--?

"Demon world?" Disbelief coloured his face, as he nearly dropped the blade he was holding. Quickly, he fastened it to his side, to avoid actually dropping it--he predicted there was going to be a lot of things he didn't understand in the near future.

"..." The place didn't look familiar--or like any of the countries, when he had been in Am Aqueous only moments ago. But he refused to believe it. "Demons...aren't real..." ...Right?

It was one of those glorious days where his magic worked for him. He hummed, walking along the little forest path, as waves of his magic--almost visible, flowed around him. He shouldn't be wasting his strength like this, but he did it anyway, because he wanted to. 

As a tendril of glowing blue magic picked an apple from a nearby tree, and landed it squarely in his hand, he looked every part his title. No one would have guessed him to be usually incompetent with any magic but poisoned magic. 

In his rare joyous mood, he didn't even notice someone else along the path, until he bumped into them. 

"Ah--sorry!" His magic stopped, fading away as it dropped. "I didn't see you there--"

The sea was beautiful. It sparkled in the sun, hiding both dark secrets and wonders under its surface. And Lethe wanted to swim, to sink beneath the waves and feel the water on his skin--but he stayed far away from the waves, instead walking along the beach. It scared him, the water. It brought back memories far too painful to be fake. It reminded him of the cool liquid filling his lungs, taking his breathe, and leaving him to sink into the sea--

Shaking his head, he walking along the beach, rather enjoying the view instead of terrifying himself. It wasn't long before he reached a cove by a cliff, it was his favourite place to go.

No one knew it existed, and he had found it purely by accident. It was dark, but the water shimmered in a pool, almost glowing, and it lit the walls with blue. It was silent, peaceful, and it was where he went when he wanted to b alone.

Except today, there was someone else there. Someone he had never met before. His initial thought was to tell them to get out, that is was his cave--but that's just ridiculous. 

"Hello?" His voice ran out through the cave, louder than intended.

Water magic was not his forte, yet he still insisted on practicing in it areas where people could easily walk upon him, why?

It was a simple spell; to use the water’s reflective abilities to his advantage, suspending the water molecules in the air, while using them to direct the sunlight around him, and therefore making him invisible. Going over it, the thought that it might not just be classified as simple crossed his mind, but for a mage in the militia it should be nothing.

‘Nothing’ turned out to give him a mild headache, and hours of failure, until his frustration got the better of him and the water reacted. It flew out in all directions, and unfortunately, there just happened to be someone walking by the metallic dock that that moment.

“Watch out—!” If he was good enough at water manipulation, like everyone else in this country, he might have been able to stop it. Too bad he wasn’t.

A blade, glinting in the sunlight, sliced through the air. And Lethe swore. He remembered wielding a sword with ease, he remembered becoming exceptional at it, he remembered all the skills his master taught him--but just remembering it, did not mean he could do it. 

Magic was not his forte, and now neither was swordsmanship. If someone were to full out attempt to kill him, they would likely succeed. And he knew, he should at least try to match up to his rank, practice a spell from that magic book he hadn't touched in weeks. 

He knew what he should do, but that didn't mean he would do it. At least he looked like he was as good with a sword as he was before. 

Something sounded behind him, and as if by instinct, the point of his blade ended precisely at their neck. He stood silent for a moment, as shocked as the other person. Whoa, where did that come from, sure he could do that before--but not now. 

"Oh, uhm, sorry about that." The katana slid back into her sheath with a click, he wasn't sure if he could have kept holding it without his hands shaking. "I didn't mean to, it's just--you surprised me."

Then he noticed who stood before him, and his curiosity was struck. "You... look familiar. Have I met you before?"

He knew that face, that voice, even that silhouette so well that he thought his heart was going to explode. Maybe it was a bit weird for him to be so attached— So tied to this man that he could even catch his scent from miles away but he didn’t care. Lethe was alive by some miracle and that was all that mattered.

But the young king had to take into consideration that this wouldn’t be the warrior he once knew. Hell, he might not even be of the same rank as he was before. Whatever though, Lethe seemed fine and that was all he could ask for. Even so he felt as if he had to approach this situation with a bit of caution. Kerrick needed to see if the other remembered him or not— Even if he didn’t, he wouldn’t brush him away, he’d just act as if he never knew him from before. Shouldn’t be that hard, right?

“Nah, s’alright man. What is it?” 

[drowningmage-blog]

And there, something flashed in the stranger's eyes. It passed so quickly, Lethe couldn't be sure whether if it was real, or just his hopeful imagination playing tricks on his eyes. But the man didn't act like he knew him, and he held none of the underlying discomfort someone hiding something usually showed.

Should he take the chance, and hope luck was on his side, or let it pass?

"Thank you." He smiled politely, "Could you tell me where I am, actually? I have never left Am Aqueous before, and now I don't even know which country I am in." Anxiety clawed at his insides, "My name is Lethe, by the way." Ah, what's he got to lose? His memories were worth more than possibly embarrassing himself.

"I wonder..." He started, as if the thought suddenly hit him. "Have we met before? You seem quite familiar." He didn't look familiar in the slightest, but neither did the King of Am Aqueous who told him they had met before.
