aranel will be moving onto a multi soon.

[iltuilin]

when aranel requests for support or soldiers in general for his fort .. the regeants sends criminals. which is a big fuck you from them but when they don't want to send their soldiers they send expendable people that are able to fight to fight a problem they believe doesn't exist so it's like .. ' yer problem now haha. '

what they don't know is that aranel sends the most-probable-ones-to-cause-trouble-and-not-follow-rules-and-never-has-seen-demons-before to the front lines? they die. 99.999% of the time they die. aranel always overseas each battle against them. always. so he knows these are facts. so he works with what he gets and those that survive usually turn a leaf and pledge their services to aranel bc they know, having been locked in their prison, it's better here than there.

not saying it happens all the time i mean. aranel has dealt with dangerous criminals threatening his orders, his fort, his home personally ( with public hangings or public executions ). aranel hsa a tight control over his fort. which holds a whopping 4,000-10,000 population. ( it's a big ass fort. with a small town attached on the safer side of the mountain. )

[iltuilin]

i did had it planned further on that this is the one of the first towns to violently fall when the demons break through the veil. and aranel as a result turns ' rogue ' in order to deal with the threat himself, along with iolwrathe. valenik and yhendorn are too focused on prepping raesaris, while ellarian is being actively tortured mentally and physically. ooo what if aranel had to .. end ellarian's pain if you know what i mean ..

your favorite general.

[iltuilin]

"i try to be honest. i do. that is one of my good qualities."

" at least you're trying. " aranel can commend kethra for trying. it goes a long way here. despite most of his serving foot soldiers are criminals, in time they learn to fall in line for the sake of survival. this place, this northern realm, is unforgiving for a solitary adventurer. so much so aranel does not forsake his attention to stragglers meeting their demise.

despite the neverending snow, the upcoming season of full moons and fierce snowstorms is coming within a couple of months. the wind bites at his cheeks and ears, snow just beginning to fall while a sharp double crescents hide behind strips of greying clouds. " you've survived thus far. "

[iltuilin]

❝ you’ve got the look of a man carrying ghosts, general—do they still whisper in your ear when you close your eyes or are you just brooding for dramatic flair? ❞

glancing down at the unfurled paper, the name sifts through his mind as the new batch of recruits for the tower. fortunately for @golgeborn, she's the type he's used to tolerating in the fortress. as often as they can spare, those that can prove their usefulness after serving a certain amount of time against demons ( ironically their fate is usually met with unsavoury demeanor .. ) are set free.

' free ' meaning ' if you cause trouble and are caught again, your sentence does not lenient to others. ' basically ' you're fate is sealed here. ' common knowledge.

the general merely glances back up at the woman. hard edges of his vision tightening to scrutinize her lack of decorum.

" give it a few months, kethra, maybe you'll carry the same here. " he remarks. " why are you here? have you not met your commanding officer in the barracks? "

[iltuilin]

breeding kink .. despite aranel not wanting children. or size difference. :')

[iltuilin]

the water steams. the bathtub is big enough for the both of them—including the general's superior height and size—but dradeel draws his knees up to his chest nonetheless, if only so he could be closer to aranel. a hand reaches out, gingerly, tracing the line of the elf's strong jaw, his chin, then sliding down to his neck. fingertips ghosting over the harrowing scar. "...what happened?" he asks softly, barely louder than a whisper.

it's a soft revelation; aranel neglected .. or rather .. now that he thinks back on it, there was hardly a time they sat down and talked for more than a few hours. a few hours to themselves in the night, or day, as his position as general usually kept him away hours at a time.

but here, in the decorated hall, the various empty rooms, aranel's abode is peaceful and free of the usual bustle of demnan fortress. along with the steamy bath, aranel can smell the height of summer from the balcony doors. usually heavy drapes remained closed in winter but now they lay wide open to let the summer breeze of pine and flower swift through. adding to the aroma of the gentle oil aranel uses in time of leisure.

the line disrupting the shape of his neck twitches at @spellheld's question. eyes peer through relaxing haze .. a dual colour of silver and gold .. studying his husband's features. a heavy arm reaches forth to pull the smaller frame closer, close enough to feel every curve of their body against his.

" it's not an interesting story .. " a hint, perhaps? the faint tone of humour. aranel catches himself guarding himself. larger digits settle around the other's palm. despite the ghosting ache in his throat, the elven general lips tighten for a moment, not knowing exactly where to begin. " it's an old scar. i was a child when it happened. i can't recall if i told you .. of the town i grew up in? " that's where it starts..

[iltuilin]

aranel isn't too good with children i fear. tho if he marries someone purely for political gain he u derstands the need for an heir. etc but that would've been his duty as a husband for his wife and general to his kingdom. he'd be .. ki da cold and distant without being so blatant about it. he isn't cruel. but if it's duty bound he doesn't try to get attached bc it's a position of power that can very well turn against him by his enemies by using said family for whatever er reason. he absolutely hates that. hates when people do that.

then again .. aranel is also the type to say 'fuck you. I have more important things to worry about than play marriage for political gain. I'd rather marry someone I whole love AND at my own pace.' bc it's this freedom that's gotten him this far. not as far as well as he wouldve liked but demons have been kept at bay in his region for well over 400 years so. :`)

i can never read you.

i'm not going to make out with you.

i never could protect you, not ever.

it's good to finally talk about it.

i'm so sorry. i'm sorry for all that has happened to you.

i worried about coming back, but i'm really finding myself here again.

better that it was me and not you.

do you miss me? even a little?

it hasn't hit me yet, i don't think.

come to bed. i'll even let you be little spoon.

do you think god is a horse girl, or a wolf girl?

don't you want to live somewhere else?

believe me. please. please believe me.

you have a trustworthy face, and i'm a bit drunk.

i didn't want to lose you, so i didn't tell you.

i love you. you don't have to say it back. i just want you to know how i feel.

i've been wanting to kiss you since i got here.

i don't have the energy to argue with you.

why am i still having these dreams?

you aren't as intimidating as i expected.

you compare yourself to others too much.

i feel safe, having you with me.

every little thing you do is an act of love.

i love you, but you're such a cunt.

jesus. why do you have a knife?

sometimes i can't tell if i'm asleep or awake.

i don't know what's wrong with me. i'm scared all the time.

you don't have to pretend to like something just because i made it.

your resting face frightens me.

i know what i saw.

i want to be with you, but i don't want to keep feeling like this.

you were supposed to protect me.

i have never felt so far away from you.

you can't rescue everyone, okay?

i'll figure it out. i always do.

you're the only one i can count on to tell me the truth.

you are smart and silly and amazing and curious, and i love you very, very much.

i'm sad. it sucks. what else is there to say?

i would have said yes to anything, to make the pain end.

i just want to burn it all down.

i've never been good at crying.

i'm sorry i didn't realize how unhappy you were.

your eyes are like cartoon saucers.

you beautiful, heartless bitch.

i'm asking you to trust me.

it would be funny, if there weren't so much blood everywhere.

i didn't want to die, but i didn't want to be there.

you've been very kind to me.

i doubt that my mother even likes me.

i am so glad you were with me.

i want to be able to protect myself.

you're too serious all the time.

you should have helped me.

i hope you are taking care of yourself.

i see you looking at me. i am not blind.

if it makes you sad, we don't have to go.

have you the strength to stand?

you are so young. you have so much time ahead of you.

i do not deserve friends like you.

everyone i care for, i hurt. every time i try to help, i make things worse.

i should have listened to you.

i promise i will make you proud.

you want some coffee, while you wait?

keep your damn shirt on.

i used up one of my nine lives today.

you were my best friend, once.

even a nice dog will bite when it's hurt.

look who the cat dragged in.

you're going to get hurt. you might even get yourself killed.

i don't want to lose you. i can't lose you, okay?

nothing's wrong. i'm just happy.

how can you ever love me after what i did?

i can't stop thinking about last night.

[iltuilin]

"we cut down their numbers, but they're still strong." from avita

that can only mean one thing; the gate is still open. once golden armor tarnished with blood, both demon and elven alike. red and black cascading, sticking between the gambeson and plate. aranel's gaze fixed on the battlefield during this rare yet generous respite, in the dark, as winds blows snow across the hill. the bite he can't really feel, mind focused, disciplined on commanding efforts to his companions. arched helm turns at avita, frown deepening at her conjecture.

" well, i can only think of one other reason why that might be. "

just then a surge of light pulses, sending an array of demons flying back into ash. a large portion blips out of existence, the magickal energy can be felt even from their respectable distance. the mages are putting up a good fight. but they'll tire out soon if they keep using their power like that. it's the timing─

" commander. " Aranel calls, rising to his feet.

" yes, general? "

" take your forces and keep the mhages safe. When I give the signal, rally to me. "

The elven commander nods firmly and takes off to relay their own command. aranel glances toward @vullcanica, mounting haemir, " I have a plan. Care to join me? "
