PLOT OF THIS FANFIC - Sage yearns for someone he thought he could never have, Truthless Recluse…the nameless hermit. Despite sharing a souljam…Truthless never seemed to show interest in Sage of truth who showed a lot of interest in comparison, Truthless more so showed interest in Veil of mourning….or as the reader’s would call her Saint Lily Cookie…. -
No matter what Sage did for Truthless’s soft gaze and expanded attention it would never last, but it was almost like sage was missing something that stood directly in his face…like a riddle he was never gonna solve - so the day sage and recluse argued, not like any other debate this was an argument…recluse didnt want to see sage for a while so they separated! On the same day Sage wanted to show him something too… —
— Sage was devastated at the separation and didn’t handle it the way he wished he could, to hopefully bring light into his eyes he deceived himself into showing interest in another cookie who he hoped would fill his voided heart with a light, but that was a huge mistake. No other cookie than truthless could ever fill that void — The truth is, the day of the argument Sage was going to reveal the only thing possibly keeping him going! His beloved…child —
Her name was Vanilla Soirée! Appearance wise she looked like Sage but soul/personality wise she was much alike Truthless, She had hair that went down to her hips, the most eye catching blue filled with black stars…her bangs were blonde and messy alike the rest of her hair. Her cold cyan eyes held a heavy burden but those pristine pearl colored lashes hid it all. She more so dressed like Sage and preferred outfits that clung to her and had a sense of Fanciness to them! — she knew nothing of Truthless In person, she does know that Sage idolized him heavily and it grew on Soirée to the point where she viewed truthless as this cold and gentle loving father figure… — Soiree was attached to Sage due to the fact that she couldn't really go anywhere else or seek more social interaction due to her father being isolated for a while as well — Vanilla Soirée wasn’t blessed with the ability to use magic as good as her father…Her magic was a bit weaker and she could only use so many spells —
—Back to the Truthlesssage situation…truthless had started seeing saint lily more but for advice…truthless didnt know how to express things to other cookies and specifically his other half, she gave him the advice he needed…she was so smart and knowing. Gosh she reminded him of sage! And speaking of him…something ached in truthless’s chest, there was something missing…no endless chattering…? No constant floating around…no tea… no debating no riddles…it felt so quiet without hearing that knocking along with that sweet tone of his name being called…it had gotten to a point where he’d hallucinate hearing that sweet tone, it was like remembering the taste of something so sweet but forgetting what it was that you consumed. Despite the fact truthless wanted space this felt like it was becoming permanent which is what he didn’t want at all… — there was something in his heart that screamed to go look for Sage and he ignored it for so long till he couldn’t take it anymore, he would use magic to try and foresee where Sage could be when he found a spell he wanted to use. “Prévois où se trouve mon partenaire disparu et révèle-moi ce qui se passe en ce moment précis.” aka “Foresee where my missing partner is and reveal me what is happening at this current moment.” —
—That…at the current moment when Truthless used the spell it was revealed where Sage was…he was in a vintage room sitting on the bed with some other cookie pacing the room rambling about something even Sage didn’t seem to care about which is rare…he looked so disinterested?!? Truthless didn’t find anything off till the other cookie said “So Sage my dear…I’m very proud of your courage but what made you wanna replace your- Nameless Hermit…?” Truthless was trembling instantly, his heart sped up as he hastily snapped his attention to sage who had the side of his face cupped by the other cookie as sage spoke “I did NOT, replace him…he wanted space so i figured- he had other things to do and had to put his attention to other cookies…Truthless Recluse is his name…do not call him nameless..” Sage’s voice was so quiet… — “oh my…sounds like your yearning for another person in front of me dear, how about i fix that” and the foresight ended…the spell returned to glowing dust right in recluse’s shaking palm…he was- replaced? — no…of course not, he knows sage better then that…right? At least thats what he tried telling himself for weeks with countless attempts to foresee sage’s whereabouts and he found the same things everyday…sage looked so calm but not really paying attention and- it was confirmed that other cookie was indeed his new partner… —“Screw you Truth..!” Truthless gritted his teeth together as he grumbled under his breath, could sage really not WAIT? What was so hard about that?!? He just had to go find someone else that fast?!? Gosh he should known Sage would do something like this —
—but something truthless didn’t know was how unpleasant Sage’s new partner was, that is gonna be revealed when Sage acts out of desperation and sends Vanilla Soirée to seek out Truthless…or perhaps warn him from afar, so she climbed up half the peak and used the magic her father lended her to cast a very huge spell that sent out arrows with letters attach to each one…they all had a riddle that would reveal the truth. As she tried descending the peak she struggled due to the gusts of winds trying to pull her back up but she eventually made it through! She made it home which she came back to an argument between sage and….whoever the other cookie was, she descended to her room wishing things could get better till hours later she found a black feather on her floor…? It felt as if there was magic attached to it! She liked it so much…it calmed her when she touched it! She put it in her hair — she found many more feathers day after day! She knew something good was coming but sage? His hope was being drained so fast he couldnt even remember how long he had been with the other cookie…— he did acknowledge something though…jealousy is the worst emotion to feel, he wanted to be saint lily so badly…the thought of having truthless’s attention and that soft gaze…? Who wouldn’t want that?!? He was losing hope on having that treasure and just- settled for less.
CHAPTER ONE - The Clueless Yearning
Truthless sat on a plush chair in the ever so quiet library, It was almost a daily routine for him to be in this library since it was oddly warm and peaceful…but then he felt and heard it.
A branch snapped, he already knew by now which cookie would be foolish enough to go through the challenge of reaching the spire…Sage Of Truth. Ever since Truthless took over the spire as his own he made it a difficult achievement to reach the spire itself, he summoned a forest full of veins and thorns around it with fog so thick it feels like you’re walking towards nothing…it often gave the illusion of losing hope to find anything but of course Sage managed to bypass it despite the fact he would have small jam stains on his dough from thorns although it was always brushed off as if it was nothing.
Truthless sat up and pushed the chair back before heading towards the entrance which was a gate with ever growing Milk-crown flower’s…Truthless waited patiently to hear that sickly sweet voice that called out his name, as much as it caused ringing in his ears it was…somehow alluring as if he couldn’t go a day without hearing it.
“Truthless! How pleasant it is to see you once more!” Sage’s figure slowly ascended from the fog and stopped a couple inches away from the gate.
“You speak as if you did not visit yesterday…your visit’s are getting dangerous Truthsayer, you will be covered in your own jam and choking on your own words if you keep this up.”
Truthless gently tapped his staff against the grass as the gate opened up just as the flowers bloomed more anytime the gate opened…it always caught Sage’s adored gaze, he found it so fascinating that flowers bloomed anytime the gate seemed to move. What kind of magic was it? He always thought to himself, he often found himself wanting to learn such a trick but he had more important things to focus.
“What brings you here Truthsayer? If i had to guess it’s for a debate or a simple tea party.” Truthless had a pointed gaze at Sage who beamed a smile straight back at him, something flared up in Truthless…Sage always knew how to get on his nerves.
For it could only be Sage of Truth to reach the peak of the hermit’s irritation, yet something about Sage’s persisting presence made something in Truthless’s chest pulse with hesitation at the thought of pushing Sage away permanently.
“You seem VERRRYY lost in the thought train my dearest Hermit, I’m curious of what could be catching your attention” Sage pointed out with a curious expression, Truthless turned his gaze to the spire as the two began walking in a synced pace. Even when it comes to walking they are always connected, “Your- Spire is rather captivating! as usual of course…” Sage mumbled as an attempt to be humble.
“Hmm, You seem more…tolerable today so I’ll go ahead and answer your question” Truthless exhaled and waved his staff around as the Spire door’s opened, Sage opened his gaze and raised his head higher at the unexpected statement which had an undertone of praise. Sage was more used to the hermit’s degrading and indifferent nature so praise wasn’t something you could just expect from The Recluse, it was fascinating truly.
“Surprisingly your saccharine voice is the only thing that’s keeping me from denying your visits and endless questions”
Sage’s hair stiffened almost similar to an animal’s ears pointing downward but he shook his head lightly to lighten his starry hair up! “Ah, well i suppose that’s unfortunate! But I can’t say its unfair either since charm isn‘t an answer to many things”
Truthless nodded in agreement before he finally answered the question from earlier “i was thinking, we could maybe arrange things as of recently.” As soon as those words hit Sage’s ears he perked up immediately! He could never refuse a debate or a negotiation, especially when it came to his other half. To Sage that’s like asking him to deny a well picked out gift!
“What did you want to possibly want to negotiate with me?” Sage beamed another smile as Truthless raised an eyebrow “You seem excited” Sage quickly fired back “well a constant indifferent louring cookie such as yourself doesn’t seem like the negotiation type…your more so ‘state your business and perish’ type of cookie”
“….Fair enough…” Truthless had to mentally admit that sentence was accurate but it strangely felt like a personal attack “If i- agree to come down to the academy for your silly little celebration will you stop visiting so frequently.”
Sage paused as he quickly debated with himself if he should accept this very tempting offer, to see Recluse visit the academy after what seemed like a decade was most certainly a pleasant idea. But there was something stopping Sage from letting words fall out his mouth, it took a small attempt to collect his words before he spoke.
“That would be lovely, i accept your offer!” Sage offered that sweet sickly smile that always held deeper truths that would send any cookie into a rabbit hole,
Truthless eyed Sage up and down as if wanting to uncover anything about what could be hiding beneath that twisted smile of his.
They stepped in the spire as the tense air lifted almost immediately when Sage step foot inside…it was like the place took a deep breath and exhaled, how lovely!
But this small change failed to get past Truthless who noticed everything about this place, he turned his gaze to the truthsayer who walked up to a new blooming milkcrown that hadn’t been here before.
“Woahh! when did you start becoming a gardener Hermit?” Sage teased with a following chuckle which earned a groan out of Truthless who followed up by rolling his eyes, “Don’t act as if there aren’t flowers practically everywhere around this spire…who do you think put the vines there?” he raised an eyebrow while stating the obvious.
“My indifferent gardener of course!” Sage fired back with a growing smile KNOWING he’s poking the wolf…the scholar was quite the bold and daring cookie you could say, although without him things would be quite blank. Even Truthless would admit that much to his own surprise, however the hermit was curious about something so he halted his movement towards the library to ask a question.
“Sage, grant me this answer…will i- scare any of your students?” Truthless’s voice dropped a bit but it wasn’t the tone that caught Sage off guard it was the question itself…did Truthless really think he was that frightening? “oh my! of course not my dear hermit! i talk about you far to fondly for them to be scared, they’ll welcome you with open arms with no delay doubtless, i say!”
“And there is that sickening self reassurance, we shall see. But rest assure i will not be surprised if fate shatters your hope”
Truthless entered the library once more leaving Sage to dilly dally and do whatever he pleases, overall he expects nothing but foolish acts from the scholar…it was a strange way to fill in the blanks of the spire by letting him stay for visits,
okay woahhh that's all for now folks, the plot kind of sucks now that i look at it but i'll push through it
