Lessons Come In Twos- As Do Punches

dunmeriis:

Vier’s expression fell blank for a moment. 

Seven years. Seven years, and the memory still burned as fresh and hot as lie rock’s fire on the day it fell. Seven years and they still wished they could do more, but they could do no more if they were dead. Why, then, did it still feel like betrayal?

They shook the thoughts from their mind. When they spoke up, though they smiled, it was awfully tired. “…Aren’t we both a terribly long way from home, then.”

     " I guess so. "

     What was usually a cocky smile painted onto Drelayn's face had drooped down, morphing into something that wasn't quite sad, but wasn't quite happy. It was wistful, nostalgic of kick-ball games outside the cantons, the game ending when the filled guar stomach either landed in the canal or hit an Ordinator, causing him to confiscate the ball and lecture the group.

Their head tipped to a side for a moment, deep in contemplation before they respond, “Aaah, well that’s nothing new, no?” They lean back, now, resting into the interlaced fingers now raised behind their head. They eye Drelayn from the edge of their vision with a smile that seems curiously amused, adding, “After all, you don’t seem a stranger to trouble.” 

Vier can’t help but break into a slight grin, “Oh but there I go, I told myself I would behave. I would hate to leave a poor first impression upon the area- Though that reminds me, you can’t possibly be local, no?” 

     Drelayn's head hung low at that question, his heart dropping into his stomach. He hadn't thought of home since he left, and now it was just gone.

     " I'm uh, I WAS from Vivec City. "

     On that fateful day in 4E 5, Drelayn was in a skooma den in a cave outside Bruma. He could feel the blast from even inside the dank cave, the rumbling sending him on his ass, the thin rugs covering the damp floor cushioning his fall. It wasn't until the rumor mill, and after that the actual news got to him that he knew that his hometown was now a boiling crater in the middle of the Inner Sea.

DEATHLESS.

the following prompts were taken from the novel deathless by catherynne m. valente, an american novelist & poet. the novel was loosely based on the tale of koschei the deathless, incorporating other elements of russian mythology, & setting it against the backdrop of the russian revolution. feel free to change the pronouns / prompts as you see fit, but be warned – below the cut, it’s quite long !

❛ the service of your body is not yours to give as you please. ❜

❛ you probably won’t survive. ❜

❛ go. run. don’t look behind you. ❜

❛ i have come for the girl in the window. ❜

❛ i will never be without information. ❜

❛ i will see him with his skin off before i fall in love. ❜

❛ if the world is divided into seeing & not seeing, i will always choose to see. ❜

❛ secrets are jealous things, permitting no fraternization. ❜

❛ no, it’s not like that, when magic comes. ❜

❛ magic does that. it wastes you away. once it grips you by the ear, the world gets quieter & quieter until you can hardly hear it at all. ❜

❛ the sight of it bruised my heart so that i cannot think about anything else. ❜

❛ i’ll be so quiet, i’ll never talk again. ❜

❛ keep me & obey me, for i am your husband, & i can destroy you. ❜

❛ i shall be clever, & i shall not let him go. ❜

❛ it is a new world, & we do not wish to be left behind. ❜

“Sounds like you’re well acquainted,” they responded, drumming a hand up the side of their mug. It was hard to say if they recognized Drelayn’s accent in return, or if there was anything left to recognize at all- Much of their expression was lost in a tired morning gaze that tried very hard to pretend to seem like an alert one. 

They stretched their back a little, then look back at Drelayn, tone becoming somewhat more animate. “I’ve no business in private affairs, no, but I’m dreadfully curious as to what he’s become so steamed over.”

     Drelayn sighed, taking another drink of his ale. What was Ongar's deal? He was the one who took Drelayn in. The halfling owed his life to the elder Nord, and he guessed that he was paying it off with not hatred, but annoyance.

     " Other than my existence ?? He's a good man,          and he took me in when I needed it, but I swear          that he regrets it every day. "

The slammed door rose a hiked wince through the mer’s shoulders, nearly causing them to fall off their seat- This was narrowly avoided by quickly grabbing out to clutch the counter and steady themselves. 

After the near-disaster was averted and they loosed their grip on the table to wrap back around their mug, they turned to look at the other mer with a look that spoke of equal parts curiosity and concern. At the very least, they were awake now.

Personally, it was far too early for them to be getting into trouble, but who were they to judge the timings of others?  Instead, they spoke up carefully, each word weighged in murmurs, as if to speak too loud would shatter their own head apart. “…I would offer to you a good morning, but it seems a bit late for effect now.” 

     Drelayn chuckled, picking up the freshly served ale with his good hand. Bringing it to his lips, the half-elf took a sip ( good, but he's had better ) before replying to the dunmer at his side.

     " That's just Ongar. He's a good man, if a bit cranky. "

     Drelayn recognized the other elf's accent. They were from Vivec, just as he was. Small world, especially if the city didn't exist anymore. If the stories were correct. Absentmindedly, he wondered if his parents were still alive, or if his mother had stolen away back to Omani Manor and his father had returned to Cyrodiil after he was banished. In all reality, he didn't care. They were dead to him.

The year was 4E 12, and the springtime sun of First Seed shone down on the elven gardens of the Imperial City to chase away the frost and chill from blades of grass and early-blooming flowers. The air was still crisp, but it was sweetened by the warmth of the soft morning light.

Inside the King and Queen Tavern, the cold was kept out by warm food and warm drinks. Few patrons were awake this early, but amongst them was a young-seeming dunmer who slowly dragged back on their mug as if whatever was in it was all that was keeping them from falling back asleep. Their white hair fell over nearly half of their face, and it was hard to tell if this was intentional, or a result of their apparent exhaustion. 

Resting beside them was a satchel, a long-necked lute of sorts, and a vibrant green-glass spear. Between deep pulls of warm liquid, they would close their eyes, silently willing themselves into consciousness for the day.

     " You best stay here and not cause any trouble, BOY.          I'm going across the way to speak with Fathis Ules          to see what to do about you. "

     Drelayn nodded absentmindedly, planting himself at the bar. He knew that Ongar was angry, though he neither knew why nor cared about it. He was always angry.

     " Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll be a model citizen 'til you get back.          Asshole. "

     The half-breed, at the least, had the brains to keep that last part quite until Ongar slammed the door shut. He spun around in his bar stool, nearly hitting the white-haired elf sitting next to him, and signaling for a drink.
