humanity's hopes, or my shoulders ?

. ❛ hey, are you okay? don't fall apart on me. ❜

. written by @onegil .

' don't fall apart . ' the words repeat like a busted tape in his mind ; a reminder of his childhood ; the phrase's replicated reminder , the only thing keeping him from collapsing . the three words allow him something to focus on , to grasp to like they are the only things keeping him alive . he is wrought with woes and has grown weary from the stress . the past month's sleeplessness and lack of appetite have riddled him to his knees , and as the warmth of the woman's hands press him upright , he is comforted , even the slightest bit , by her very presence . still , there is guilt in the notion that a stranger now keeps him from colliding with the pavement due to his own self neglect . if elice was aware of this , he's sure he would not hear the end of it . . .

through bated breath , he musters a vague reassurance , ❛ thank you , but do not worry about me . i will be alright with a good night's rest , i promise you . ❜

figuring out quite quickly through forum-thread browsing that the way i see marth and the way the general public ( irt fe fans 💀) sees marth are... very different...

[herok1ng]

carrd is up !

[krosakis-moved]

♚ oh .. maybe it was too late for Ichigo to retract the second half of his statement. his head turns to the left, and then to the right before returning to face marth. ❝ if you say with haste.. let's see if we can find a safe and hopefully quiet way out of this mess. ❞

[herok1ng]

and with haste , he meant . a trail of enemy reinforcements are ascending from their rear , and while uncertain about ichigo's capability , he , himself , has grown weary from battle and restless nights . he would not do well to battle . ❛ would you have me lead , or would you ? regardless , we don't have much time . ❜

[herok1ng]

heheh yay

[herok1ng]

i feel like this sometimes

[wistrea-gone-deactivated2025051]

for a moment, all the witch does is hum in acknowledgement, lilac hues of her eyes never once leaving marth, as though she was attempting to pick him apart. the courageous ones are the ones she always finds the strangest, wondering what ambition lies beneath all that bravery, built upon good will or not. ❛ and how do you expect to return to altea? ❜ she asks then, quite bluntly as was her nature, not to be mistaken for mockery. ❛ if you continue to charge towards such a goal, surely you think to return and see your efforts come to fruition, don't you? ❜

[herok1ng]

his already serious demeanor is quick to shift to something haunted , eyes lost to the traces of the wind ; nothingness . he can sense her assessment of him , but it bothers him not . he should expect nothing less , after all . his lack of skepticism and wariness is his own fault to mend . still , her questions sink deep into his heart , stirring the thoughts that tend to haunt him before he submits to grievous slumber . . . he's taken a risk , he's certain . of its conclusion , he's not so .

❛ i can't say with certainty that i will . ❜ his index finger circles the hilt of his blade ; an anxious habit he hardly realizes he has , ❛ i would be grateful , would that i could . but , i knew the risks that followed when i entered the portal that unraveled before me . ❜

the idea of his never returning to his time plagues him often , yet his self - sacrificing nature triumphs over the war with his doubts .

[herok1ng]

6 pages of marth content later and i havent even touched anything on the second game yet .......................... this google doc will end me but i'll finish it later teehee

[krosakis-moved]

@herok1ng sent: ❛ I did something exceedingly reckless. For which you'll just have to forgive me. ❜ / final fantasy xiv prompts, accepting!

♚ the swordsman's features are painted with a slight hint of annoyance at the prince's words, but is ready to hear his explanation either way. ❝ I'm going to need more details, though let's hope no one is on the move looking for us. ❞

[herok1ng]

❛ your assumptions are not off course , though . . . as for your hopes . . . ❜ he grimaces silently to himself , ever the bearer of bad news . ❛ we would be wise to consider our escape plan . with haste . ❜

[wistrea-gone-deactivated2025051]

❛    the others are readying themselves to ride into battle soon. will you be joining them, marth? i'm sure they'd be more than welcome to have you ... but, is that really the reason why you came all the way here? to fight a war that does not concern your own realm?    ❜  

@herok1ng / one - liner call ☆

[herok1ng]

❛ i will . ❜ his answer is straight - forward , his voice , resolute . ❛ in truth , i have come here to ensure the efforts of my people are not for nothing . the risen have spread through altea , and my friends have grown weary with fighting . i have placed my trust in them for the time being . . . ❜ and he prays this is not a mistake he's made . ❛ i believe something from this time was the catalyst . it's why i'm here . ❜

. ❛  what do you want? you can tell me.  ❜

. written by @luxdea .

to want , to him , feels inherently selfish . and yet , he does . he wants with a desire that burns in his chest , that pricks at the corners of his eyes , that swallows his throat with its fullness . he wants more than he does anything else ; difference , change , strength , companions , love , protection and the ability to protect , for the battles to cease , peace . he wants to be a better soldier , a better leader , a better friend , a better " hero " .

and while such heroism sits like a boulder atop his chest , crushing him beneath its weight , he looks to the sun setting overtop the rolling hills beyond , and things become more bearable . he lets loose a quiet sigh into their shared atmosphere , hardly audible , and his fingers pull idly at the looseness of his clothes . he allows his eyes to close , hiding from the sensations of sight as if it were a moment's reprieve from existence .

he wishes to respond to her with honesty , but there is so much to think of , and so much he wishes to hide from the world , that he's not even sure where to begin .

❛ i wish i could tell you : ' nothing . ' that i have accepted the life i live and my role to play in it . but , if i did , i would be lying . and you deserve more than to be deceived by me . ❜

FILL IN WITH DETAILS ABOUT YOUR MUSE AS IF THEY WERE A CHARACTER IN A DATING SIM !!

NAME : marth

PROFESSION : prince of altea and only heir to the divine blade of legend

WHERE THEY CAN BE FOUND : in the training fields , communing with tacticians / advisors , sitting alone beneath a tree's shade , studying/reading in his tent/quarters

FAVORITE FOOD TYPE : quail eggs , olives , fresh - baked bread

FAVORITE ALCOHOLIC DRINK : he is open to a glass of wine once in awhile ( after adulthood ) but usually only when it's expected of him or when it might seem rude to decline . not much of a drinker !

WHERE THEY WOULD GO ON A DATE : a trip to the markets , nature walks , horseback - riding ! he tends to avoid super public places where he may be recognized , but nights in are also very welcome .

IDEAL GIFT : thinking thinking... i don't think he's super big on things with material value... in regards to tangible items, i think he'd like something more practical or something he can use to better his troops or aid his friends . i also think he loves hand-written letters and flowers .

HOW MANY DATES UNTIL THEY KISS : probably five at least ! he's reserved and modest and has to be convinced it's okay with the other party , as well as with himself . he will kiss their hand or forehead but it will take time for a mutual kiss on the lips and it will only be done in private .
