Bayonetta Scenery: Ithavoll Building

[heavensoar-blog]

@femtaile

“ Your efforts at stealth are laudable, but even a spider, no matter how small, cannot hope spin it’s web under the sun without my notice. The very fact that you’ve made it thus far is because I thought such appropriate. ” 

         GILDED WINGS beat outside the golden walls of the sanctum by the dozens, their feathers falling upon the glistening and busy metropolis of Isla Del Sol that now seemed so frightfully far below them. That they did not interfere with an intruder was the Sage’s will, and by the Creator were they bound to such. 

“ Enter and rest. The ascent is a taxing one, I’m sure. You have followed this path to me most competently, and I am not without cordiality. ”

The Ithavoll Corperation is still very much active after Isla Del Sol’s apparent destruction. It supplies power to a large portion of Italy, and is still based in Vigrid-- though most of it’s resources have now gone towards rebuilding the village rather than repairing the large city that looms off it’s coast.

As CEO, Balder now sees it as his duty to repair what damage his plans have wrought. Vigrid’s his responsibility to protect, and it’s people still look to him for guidance.

Au where Balder survives and is constantly in an internal war with Loptr for control of his actions. Bayonetta definitely weakened the entity’s hold over Balder after defeating him and destroying Jubileus, but Loptr is still there to influence him. He’s still there to whisper in his ear and attempt to sway his heart, and at times he succeeds, though he’s got nowhere near the hold over Balder as he once did. 

And Balder definitely wants to be an ally to his daughter and support her however he can, but at the same time he’s fearful of hurting her and the people she cares about, so he sorta keeps to himself on Isla Del Sol, continuing to look after the people of Vigrid. 

Sure, he could rid himself of Loptr now-- something he couldn’t do when he was younger, but he’s surely strong enough now. However, that would just mean that he’d be free to try and destroy the world and Balder would be responsible, so he stays as Loptr’s jailer, keeping him imprisoned within himself at great cost.

       ❛  don’t presume so much,  sage. ❜    bitten words let loose from an even more lethal mouth,   jagged from loss,  from things that were never meant to be.  he depicts himself a kindly father   —   her father,  but she cannot bring herself to bless him with such a name.  not even all his gold and silver can hide what callous machinations he has spun.  there is poison but there is also the nagging desire to know.  to know about all she is and what once.  to know what she could have been. 

       ❛   i came here for answers and all you’ve given me is more riddles,  ❜   a pause wed with a cold exhale.   ❛   was this all apart of your plan all along  ?   was i born from nothing more than a madman’s blind reverence ?   ❜

          COULD HE answer her? Tell her of events that have yet to happen? Of heartbreak that would unfold that he, being who he was, would be powerless to stop? Perhaps he would tell her of his burden, and of the evil that he so struggled against with renewed strength. Of course he could. But the time of clarity did draw near, after all, and soon she would see these answers for herself-- and he dare not meddle with time more than he already had. 

And so with heavy heart does the sage bite his tongue on the matter. Content to play whatever role she needed of him for the time being.

         “ In riddles... We often gleam that which escapes us. Truth, lies, a mixture of both, perhaps. It is for us to decide what we are presented with, and to draw our own conclusions upon such. What I have given you is more than enough to suffice until the answer reveals itself, Cereza. ”

Get ready for some dank ithavoll Corp and balder lives au posts

Balder was quite aware of everything he did while under Loptr’s influence. The witchhunts, the brainwashing, the manipulation, all of it. The way in which Loptr convinced him to do all of it wasn’t through outright possession, but by speaking to him. Corrupting and convincing him that he was indeed doing what was right for the world, for Rosa. The half-god used grief and resentment to forge Father Balder.

@madamefly

“ Why-ever the long face, my child? I can sense your troubled thoughts-- Brewing as they are behind such steadfast demeanor.  ” 

          HER MOTHER had worn that exact expression to a T. How remarkable the likeness-- even now the sage wondered if some fragment of Rosa’s soul might still see her daughter, and that she might smile even in the pits of Inferno knowing of her accomplishments. “ Perhaps you need walk with me? Come. We oftentimes seek to rush through that which must be taken slowly. ”

daddy, do you love mummy?

“ Still awake? Oh, my dear, sweet, child… ” SHE’S Lifted to him on a cloud of shimmering butterflies that evaporate to small, golden, feathers as soon as she’s received into the sage’s arms. Bouncing her slightly, he turns to look out the at the metropolis below.

“ Love is not measured by word, my child. It is measured in action– and all you see before you comes from such action. Every sparkling light, every glistening tower, all of it is in loving ode to your sweet mother, and all of it will be remade in perfect tribute to her memory. ”

Perspective.

Balder feels about Rosa how we all feel about Bayonetta.

But it's CANON.
