Shin’s often unruly attitude has led the king to host a competition from which a knight for the prince shall be chosen. DJ is urged to attempt the challenge by the troublesome newcomer, Elle. However, despite Giesbach agreeing, Shin refuses to make the challenge any easier for her. He allows her to compete, only under the condition that she fights with the axe; an obvious attempt to sabotage her. Instead…
( I've made it this far... but I haven't been able to get off my trail at all...
It's been so long since I last ventured so far from the Burrow... I'm not sure where I am. )
The bushes nearby shake. DJ startles.
DJ: ( They're here...! )
—Rattle...—
DJ: ... ...?
( No? A snake? )
—Squeak, squeak—
A small owl hops out into the clearing. It looks up at DJ with large googly eyes, head tilted.
DJ: ... Oh.
You...— You're Mystic's Familiar. Nazaat.
—Squeak—
DJ: Since you're here... does that mean Mystic is somewhere nearby? Is he alright?
—Coo—
DJ: He's hurt, but doing better? What do you mean?
—Coo, coo!—
DJ: You'll take me to him instead? Oh, goodness, I'd greatly appreciate it, dear.
However... please, be mindful of the path ahead. I'm afraid that if we encounter Shin's Familiars, it will not turn well.
DJ kneels and picks the owl off the ground.
DJ: Please, take me to my son.

Mystic: That damn... fucking...
Mystic paces the room back and forth.
Kou: Sooo... Ruki really said that, huh?
Mystic: Seriously, what's his fuckin' problem...? Stupid little...——
Fuck——!!
Mystic snatches up a lamp. He throws it across the room.
—Crash!—
Kou: Well, congrats on achieving your goal to have a rump in the sheets with Ruki. Yuma lost the bet.
Mystic: Y'all were bettin' on it?!
Kou: Mys. Mystic, dude. The tension was suffocating. Everyone knew it was bound to happen.
Mystic: Everyone? Didn't you just say Yuma lost the bet?
Kou: Yeah, because he said Ruki would go for it first. I said it would be you.
Mystic: ... ... ...
Am I just blind? Have I lost my my abilities to perceive this shit? Even the little lamb knew.
Huff... Be fuckin' for real.
Kou: Oh, you smitten fool.
Mystic: 'Smitten', my ass!
Kou: Well——
Mystic: ——Shut the fuck up.
... ... Whatever. It doesn't matter anymore. He can go fuck himself for all I care. Fuckin' asshole.
Kou: ... ... ...
—Flashback—
[ Location: Hallway ]
Ruki: ... ... ...
Kou: ——Ah, Ruki! Heard from M-Neko-chan that Mys is up.
Ruki: I'm aware. I was in the room when he woke up.
Kou: Oh? Was he alright, though? I was barely on my way to——
Ruki: Kou.
Kou: Wha—what's the matter, all of the sudden?
Ruki: There's something I need to tell you and the others...
—End Flashback—
[ Location: Guestroom ]
Kou: ... ... No wonder...
Mystic: What?
Kou: Oh, nothing〜 Just... have you considered that there may have been a reason for why he—you know—snapped like that?
Mystic: I don't give a fuck. What he said was outta pocket!
Kou: ... Fair.
Mystic: Ugh...
—Rustle—
Mystic falls back onto the bed.
Mystic: ... ... ... Honestly, though...
Kou: ... ...?
Mystic: Now that you mention, somethin' actually seemed off.
Ruki usually makes eye contact when he talks to someone. Especially when he's scoldin' someone.
Sure, he was lookin' at me... but at me. You know what I mean?
Kou: Really? I never noticed.
Pretty attentive of you〜
Mystic: Oh, fuck off. I just... I'm just used to payin' attention to other's mannerisms, that's all. It's part of my job.
Kou: ... ...
Listen, Mys——
—Coo, coo!—
A small shape flies into the room through the balcony.
—Coo, coo!—
Kou: Wha——?! Is that an owl?!
Mystic: Naz...! Hey, hey, what's the matter with you?!
Kou: You know it?
Mystic: It's— ah...! It's my Familiar.
Shit— What happened, Naz?!
—Coo! Coo, coo!—
Mystic: ... ... Wha—...?! No way...!
Mystic takes off in a panic. Kou hurries out of the room, close behind him.
Kou: Wa—wait, Mys...! What’s going on!?
—Fade—
[ Location: Entrance Hall ]
—Thud!—
Guard (1): ——Ugh...!!
Guard (2): You...!!
DJ: Huff, huff... please. I'm simply looking for my son. I don't mean to harm you...
—Footsteps—
Kou: Hey, Mys! Wait up!
Mystic: Huff, huff! Wait— stop it!
DJ: ... ...! Mystic—!!
As Mystic rushes in, so do other members of the castle.
Yuma: Oi, oi! What's with all the noise?!
Ruki: What is this commotion?
DJ rushes into the hall, easily forcing her way through the the guards.
Mystic: ——Ah...!
Guard (2): O—oi! Get away from him!
Mystic: That's enough! This's my mother, you dunce! Didn't ya hear what she said?! Are you fuckin' deaf?!
DJ: It's alright. Settle down, Mystic...
Ruki: Sigh. Thank you, gentleman. We'll take care of the situation from here.
Mystic: ... ... ...
Disgruntled, the guards leave.
DJ: What happened to you? What is with this bandage? Shin did this, didn't he?
Mystic: Ah... well...
DJ: ——Of course it was him! He had no shame admitting it himself at all!
Mystic: I'm alright, though.
DJ: That doesn't make it any better. Do you not remember your condition?
Mystic: 'Course I do, mum...
Ruki: Excuse me, miss... What is happening here?
Kou: You're Mys' mom?
DJ: Oh, of course. How rude of me.
I'm called DJ. And yes, I am Mystic’s mother.
Do forgive my intrusion. I hadn't intended to cause any trouble for the personnel of your household. Admittedly, I was overly insistent in my attempt to convince them in allowing me passage.
DJ curtsies toward Ruki. Mystic’s expression darkens.
DJ: I beg for your forgiveness.
Mystic: ... ... ...
Ruki: No need to go so far...
Kou: Oh, my. Mys, you and your mom are really...——
Yuma: Ya look exactly like her.
Mystic: No shit. It's almost like I came out of her.
Yuma: Che. Though she definitely forgot to fix ya up a betta mouth.
Mystic: Fuck you.
DJ: Mystic, please...
Mystic: But he's bein' a dick!
DJ pinches the back of Mystic's arm.
Mystic: Ah, ow, ow, ow! Aight, aight, I get it...!
... Sigh. Mister Hairy-Mountain here is Yuma. He's Kou, and...
... ... That guy's Ruki.
DJ: Oh, of course. I've heard so much about all of you.
Kou: You know about us?
Mystic: Why, of course. Mystic is a chatter box. He will never pass off on sharing about the people in his life.
Yuma: Hah, I see.
Mystic: Don't get too cocky.
Ruki: ... ... Excuse me. There is something I still don't quite understand.
You say you are Mystic's mother, however... how is possible for you to have crossed the boundary of the shield around the castle?
DJ: Perhaps it is because Lord KarlHeinz's magic is meant to fend off a particular spectrum of demons. However, I am not a First Blood, as I assume you think I am.
Yuma: ... ...? Ya ain’t?
DJ: Our name, Jomei, comes from the bloodline of the Owls.
Kou: There is such a thing?
Ruki: ... I believe I've heard of it.
The Owls are a tribe that branches off from the Adler Clan.
DJ: That would be correct, young man.
Owls aren’t particularly powerful. Therefore, aren't in the loop of the Demon Realm's politics. Our kind was persecuted by the Adlers for the longest of time and our numbers diminished.
The ones who survived have long since gone into hiding, protected by my family.
Yuma: So, ya ain’t a Founder at all?
Mystic: I am. Sorta.
You know the guy that put a blade in my gut. That guy? Well, that guy’s a First Blood. But also the absent sperm donor that was only useful at bringing me into existence.
DJ: ... ...
Kou: That guy is your dad!?
Mystic: I thought I said my dad’s side of the family was batshit insane!?
Yuma: Ya ain’t mentioned it was yer dad that tried to kill ya——!!
DJ: ... ... As opposed to what the situation implies, Shin had not meant to cause mortal harm.
First Bloods have an incredible healing factor. I have seen Shin walk off a hit directly to the heart.
I believe he wasn’t aware of the fact Mystic’s constitution isn’t——
Mystic: ——Mother.
DJ: ... Ah.
Ruki: Isn’t what?
Mystic: None of your fuckin’ business.
Silence falls on the entrance hall.
Mystic: ... ... Let's look for Reiji. He'll be able to help us get you settled in.
Thanks, guys. We'll be off for now.
—Footsteps—
Mystic and DJ leave.
Kou: Ohh... you really messed up back then, didn't you?
Yuma: —Oi, Kou.
Ruki: ... ... ...

Wolves stalk the area around the outskirts of the Eden.

Shin: ... ... Hah. Hahaha...
You really ran all the way to the doorstep of the Vampires.
[Admin!Danny: I've been wanting to take some stories to Mystic's hometown—the kingdom of the Owl Tribe, the Burrow—so I've been busy these last couple of days making my own backgrounds. These are heavily influenced by architecture of the Centro Historico at Mexico City ✨ There are still quite a few more that I'm working on, but I wanted to share what I have so far!]
❝ I take it all back. The Honda Odyssey fucks hard. Too bad you don't, needle dick. ❞
[Admin!Danny: I watched the new Deadpool movie last weekend and, man 🚬🗿 HAHAH I needed to draw this 🏃♀️💥💥 Mystic is so Deadpool-coded I was losing my mind at the movie theater LMAO]
[Admin!Danny: Oh, you poor princess, just trying to gain her family’s approval 😔 Finished Mystic and the semester smacked me around this week, but Kazuha is finally here 🤲✨]
A wolf trudges into the Banmaden. Kazuha slowly dismounts from its back, but continues to heavily lean against it, holding her head in discomfort.
Kazuha: Forgive me, uncle... I caused you trouble.
Shin: Don't sweat it. I couldn't very much leave you behind.
—Swoosh—
The wolf is gone and Shin stands on its place. He continues to hold out his arm for Kazuha to hold onto.
Shin: Damn. What even was that?
Kazuha: A ripple of magic. It's an attack that can be used as either defensive or offensive. Depending on the amount of power input, it should be able to disorient the opposition.
It was used to gain territory over the enemy during the war.
Shin: ... ... Of course. I knew that.
Kazuha: I don't understand...
Why would that damn moron—
Footsteps approach. DJ and Carla emerge.
Kazuha: ... ...!
DJ: You're back!
Did you...— ah...
DJ looks around. When she realizes they are on their own, her expression deflates.
Carla: ... ... ...
—Rustle—
Kazuha: ... ... Father.
Carla: Shin.
Shin: What is it, brother?
Carla: Why did you accompany Kazuha?
Shin: Why, you ask? It was an order from you, was it not?
Kazuha: ... ... ...
Carla: Kazuha, come here.
Kazuha is still dizzy as she steadies herself back on her feet. She walks closer, stopping in front of Carla.
Carla: Defying my orders is one thing... but making up lies to drag others alongside you is absolutely reprehensible.
Shin: What?! Kazuha, you——!
Kazuha: ... ... Yes, I defied your orders, sir. And yes, I deceived my uncle.
But, father...! I was so close to retrieving that woman's heart. I basically had it in my hands. If only those damn Vampires hadn't interfered, then for sure I would have—
Carla: Enough!
How old are you now, to act so mindlessly? Are you not aware of the conflicts that you could have caused? Have you learned nothing from the history of our clan?
Kazuha's expression remains rigid, but she closes her eyes. The hit she had been expecting never comes.
Kazuha: ... ...
Carla: ... ... ... Sigh.
Kneel in the courtyard. I do not care whether it rains or if the animals begin picking at your skin. You are not to stand until I allow it.
Kazuha: ... ... Understood, your majesty.
Kazuha offers her father a short reverence. She leaves.
Shin: Brother, don't you think you're being a little too—
Carla: Not one more word out of you. To be so easily deceived...
How shameful.
—Footsteps—
Carla leaves.
Shin: Goodness...
DJ: ... Please don't pour anymore fuel over the matter, Shin. Master Carla is agitated enough. You'll end up catching the blunt of it all.
Shin: Ah-ahh... enough with the nagging. I've had enough for today. I'm off to take a bath.
DJ: Right, of course. I'll get that prepared for you right away——
Shin: Oi, oi. Your enthusiasm is nice, but you can stop acting like you're still working for the castle. Have some pride as the wife of a First Blood.
DJ: "Wife"—?! We aren't married...!
Shin tosses DJ his sword.
DJ: Uff!
Shin: Fu... What're ya getting all red for?
Just help me put that away for now. I'll come find you after I'm done.
DJ: Alright, then I'll—
DJ falls silent. She gazes down at the sword. The emotion in her eyes dulls with abruptness.
DJ: ... ... Did you... fight Mystic?
Shin: Huh? Ah, yeah. That kid's tougher than he looks. He kept writhing about even after I got him right between the ribs.
DJ: You... what?
Shin: That's the only reason Kazuha took me with her. To keep him at busy while she took care of——
—Splatter—
Shin: What...
—Thud—
DJ: Hah...
... My son... you dared lay hands... on your own flesh and blood.
That boy has been nothing... but a saint...
And yet you...
Shin: De—Des... you—!! Khh...!
—Splatter—
DJ: You take so much pride in your lineage... but do not care for the boy that shall carry the legacy to your name?
Seriously... hahaha... your own son...
... Insane... are you insane?!
Shin: Ugh—!
DJ: Damn... damn it! Perhaps you can walk something like this off... but he... he could die! He could die—!! Damn it, damn it...! Have you gone mad?!
DJ suddenly stands. She races down the hallway and escapes out the front door. Her rapid footfalls echo into the night. A group of wolves chase after her as she disappears into the wilderness.

Notes: This is based on one of my headcanons, therefore isn't accurate by any means. I thought it would be interesting to write something based on the desire for a mother.
Word count: 682
However, there was one album that he forgot about, a gift he received from a buddy since he found it half price in a closing sale.
Seiji knew that Yui liked spending time in the attic whenever she needed to recharge or wanted some alone time when she was frustrated, so he took on the extra chore of dusting and cleaning it for her comfort. He also knew that she enjoyed looking through his old mixtapes and cassettes prior to when he strived to be more pious.
That cassette was Kate Bush's 'Hounds of Love'.
She threw herself onto the couch, which was some hideous orange three-seater couch from the 60s, which had red wine stains and cigarette burns. Throwing herself on the couch broke another spring, causing her to let out a sigh, in hopes of controlling her already disagreeable temper.
Yui climbed up the rotting wooden ladder, the ladder where she received far too many splinters for one's patience. Getting another one only further fuelled her current exasperation.
After staring at the ugly paintings on the wall while trying to calm herself, she noticed a hint of lilac, tucked between one of the Metallica and Whitney Houston albums. Yui didn't recognise, or even see this tape before, so she approached it, being under the assumption that her eyes were betraying her.
"Hounds... Hounds of Love...?", Yui said aloud, being confused with this coquettish looking woman and the peculiar title.
She wiped the caked on dust off the album, to see a beautiful woman laying down in a purple dress, being between two sleeping dogs, comfortably resting their heads on her shoulders.
She sat on the desk next to it and listened to the bizarre lyrics and instrumentals, along with the woman's interesting voice, which was something she's never heard before.
After doing more of a clean, she slipped it into the cassette player, and flipped on to a random track of the album.
The word 'mother' appeared a lot in the song.
Which made the young girl think about the lack of a mother in her life. Sure, she had the nuns, but they're not... A mother.
"Mother will hide the murderer..."
Why couldn't she have that too?
This verse made Yui's stomach drop, and her love coloured eyes sting. She hated to think about mothers, because they always made her distressed and envious.
Why did God deny her that simple luxury?
Why didn't He give her that privilege?
She wanted to feel that kind of connection with the woman who brought her into this world, but unfortunately that would never happen.
It's only natural that a girl of Yui's circumstances would be curious about the woman who gave her life. Yet... Yet it shouldn't feel like such a taboo subject when she'd bring it up to her father. It made her worry about what kind of person her mother was and what kind of person Yui would grow up to be.
The lamenting tone of the song didn't help her. Not one bit. As well as the odd sound effects in the song.
But above all, she began to question her father. The mother in that song knew her child was up to no good. The mother protected her child. Mother stayed mum. She loved her father more than anything, he is her whole world. But can he give her that kind of unconditional love? Granted, he's a priest and is bound to forgive the most heinous of wrongdoers. What if she wronged her as his daughter though? Would he still cherish and protect her like the mother in the song?
This hypothetical conundrum was making Yui's head spin and making her gnaw on her already marred fingernails, and the scabbed skin surrounding it. This was the only thing stopping her from completely shutting down or sobbing for endless hours, until she wore herself out.
Love doesn't believe in ethics. And maternal instincts overrule any type of morality. But Father is a priest, he's bound by the word of God, and that means morals upon morals. He dictates, not protects.
Send 😘 for my muse’s honest opinion about your muse.
Them as a person:
“Kauze is really a mysterious guy to me, considering that I haven't interacted with him much recently. I truly believe, though, that he's a genuinely good person, always happy to lend me a hand from time to time.”
Level of attractiveness:
“Hmm... I mean, he is pretty attractive, but I don't think I find him absolutely mesmerising. Other people, though... Hmmm....”
What annoys them most:
“I think I'm not a fan of his serious attitude at times...”
What they like the most:
“H... His a—”
“Okay, I'm kidding. I love the way he laughs. It's like a really goofy, silly laugh...”
What they’d do if they were locked in a closet together for 4 hours:
“Um... Probably play Uno. I always carry the cards with me!”
Overall opinion:
“I don't mind Kauze, I think he's a good guy, but it's been so long... And that's one on me.”

A mysterious figure with an unusual name. Affiliated with the church lead by Seiji Komori, Noctis was sent to the Sakamaki Mansion under false pretenses as a "Sacrificial Bride" in order to ruin Cordelia's plan and gain the Sakamaki brothers as allies for the sake of the assassination of Karlheinz, as well as to stop future women to be sacrificed to vampires. Unable to bear the thought of dooming his adopted daughter Yui Komori, Seiji forged a plan to train and send a powerful demon whose memories he took, to doom the Vampires. If Noctis were to die as a result of the plan, he would feel no guilt, as she is not human. She believes she is human, as she spent her time living among them.
Personality
Noctis is a very calm and patient person, who could snap fast if someone acts unreasonable. She's very defiant to the vampires and doesn't tolerate their abusive behavior towards her, often engaging in physical fights with some of them. The mistreatment results in her getting dependent on alcohol and she is sometimes seen drunk during school hours in HDB. Despite appearing like an honor student at first glance, Noctis tends to engage in delinquent behavior. Despite of this, she is a responsible person that manages to complete her tasks decently, such as supervising Ayato and Laito to make sure they do not to cause trouble at school under Reiji's order.
Noctis likes to throw sassy remarks at the vampires. She often gets in unnecessary trouble for running her mouth. She takes joy in teasing Ayato and Shin, who are quick to lose their temper, which she finds humorous.
Noctis' has a resting face which makes her seem cold and serious, but it is easy to get a reaction out of her. She keeps her thoughts and feelings to herself and rarely shows compassion towards the vampires as to keep herself safe and not give them an opportunity to use her weak points against her. Rather than showing pity, she gives them advice from a rational perspective. She's very analytic and observant.
Laito managed to break her cold barrier by constantly toying with her emotions for his own amusement, mainly enjoying the new expressions she makes by provoking her and putting her in situations that would cause her to show fear. His little games of psychological manipulation slowly resulted in Noctis showing more emotion and eventually warming up to the Vampires in More Blood.
Appearance
In most outfits, Noctis is seen wearing a heart choker on her neck and on her thigh to make biting more bothersome to the vampires. It serves as an extra protection measure.
She is always carrying a lighter with her.
Relationships
WIP
Trivia
With her drinking habits, Noctis developed spitting fire using alcohol and a lighter as a special skill.
Noctis hates cranberry juice as a result of drinking it too much to restore her iron levels.
When Reiji nags her too much, she jokingly starts calling him "Ossan" (おっさん) meaning "old man." Here, she refers to him or any other vampire as a grandpa due to how old they are.
Opposite to Yui, Noctis is a demon with a "human heart." Due to her memory loss, she was treated like a human by the church and learned their morals and values.
Noctis has a reflex that causes her to punch what causes her fear. For example, If someone were to jumpscare her, they would get punched by accident.
As a result of sharing a roof with 6 men, Noctis started to adapt manly speech mannerisms, such as using "ore" instead of "atashi" when referring to herself.
