“Ha ha hey! That tickles kinda! You don’t gotta be sorry, I like when people think my horns are cool enough to touch! They’re totally cool right? I sharpen em every two months and polish them every other Thursday!”

“As for who I am, i’m Big Bull! Nice to meet ya sister! I really dig those claws of yours! I bet they come in handy during any sorta fight, awesome, hey hey hey! That is something I can get behind!”

Big Bull guffawed and put his hands on his hips, taking a haughty stance, this big city sure did have a lot of people who seemed to be interested in him. Those Evil Kings certainly picked the cream of the crop when it comes to these here cityfolk.

[kouwanhime]

“You... Sharpen them..?”

Harbour Princess found both her softly glowing eyes meeting to stare up at her horn, or at least, what she could see of it. From this angle, that was basically the first glowing ring. Such a process had never even occurred to her. It did stay quite smooth though... Absent mindedly, one of her claws touched against the dark protrusion, before her eyes refocused on the hands themselves, and finally on him.

“They call me... Harbour Princess...”

“I have never considered... Their use for war... I do my battle... Typically from a great distance... It is... Better that way...”

Words weren’t needed between the two. Having been lost in a labyrinth of humans and monsters for nearly a day now, the ‘relief’ the princess of the northern oceans felt upon finally coming across one of her own kind was very clearly written upon her face. A human she had met earlier had explained something called ‘parents’, and she could only wordlessly wonder if this was the sort of relationship she had come to expect from the princess of the harbor.

All of the Abyssals, even the ones that served as her fleet, were much larger than the northern base in design. But of course, this simply meant there was room to grow. And one day she would.

But for now, she simply grasped her model reppu and stared up at her comrade. What was that word the girl had taught her…? Oh, right!

[…ᴍᴏᴍ?]

[kouwanhime]

Fatigue. It wasn’t something unknown to her, in fact she’d wager it was one of the things she knew best of all. But being isolated in this city and from the ocean made it especially hard to stay energetic. Running into her ebony clad sister a few weeks past had been uplifting, though it only convinced her there would be more here, and she had to find them... She’d even taken to carrying a picture around, often it was easier than trying to engage them.

That fatigue vanished the moment she found the real version of the picture’s contents standing right before her, model in hand.

“Hoppou...”

She couldn't believe it, what had started to feel like a hopeless endeavour, solved so instantly before her. She knelt down before her fellow Abyssal, a warm smile on her features. She almost didn’t hear exactly what it was the smaller had called her, but then it clicked. It didn’t feel entirely correct, but its importance quickly fell from her mind.

“I’m here, I’m... I’m glad... To have found you...” She held out a plated hand for the princess. “Are you... Undamaged?”

[kouwanhime]

[kouwanhime]

“If... Your time comes...”

“Pray you... Do not come back...”

“Oh sure babe what’s uuuuuuuhh… “ Yeah, it was getting to be a real bad idea to keep judging girls by the sound of their voices. So much for some shy demure flower, instead he got some huge monster chick. “W-whats up?” She was. About two heads up from him in fact. Not that she wasn’t cute though…. but, usually one white skinned horned babe was enough, why’d there have to be more?  

“Y-yeah?” Bolin eyed her carefully as she unfolded the paper with those gargantuan hands. Really shy for someone who could split him in two. “Uhh, no, I haven’t seen that kid around. But, ummm… real quick question? Are you also a princess? Ha ha, cause I’m noticing a lot of princess around here… white skin, red eyes… horns? Are you guys all related or something?” Huh, that had to be it, but between her and the other one he met, he couldn’t tell which was the eldest. Maybe she would have some answers.

[kouwanhime]

Babe; she assumed instantly that he had mistaken her for someone else. The look in his eyes became one she was more accustomed to as he turned to face her. The hesitation, apprehension. That was more like it. It mattered not, hopefully this encounter would be over soon, and she could move onto the next. The moment he offered a negative response, her eyes started to fall and she was already preparing to leave. 

Briefly, the glowing light of her eyes and horn gained intensity, only to fade back to normal. Red eyes, white skin, horns- asking her if she was a princess; clearly this one had met one of her sisters, perhaps more... She knew one other was here, at least. 

“You are... Not wrong... I am known... As Harbour Princess...” Her claws twitched slightly. The mounting anxiety was probably unfounded; if he had a negative encounter with her sister, she was sure she would already know by now... But that didn’t quite shake it. 

“Black hair... Black dress? Yes... Hime is my... Sister...” She watched him carefully, trying to gauge his reaction “Who... Are you..? How did you... Come to meet her..?”

[kouwanhime]

"Excuse... Me...”

“I do not wish... To bother you... But...” After a hesitation that wasn’t exactly distinguishable from her regular pauses, the tall and almost entire stark woman produced a neatly folded slip, and after taking great care with her large claw like hands she unfolded it to produce a picture.

“Have you seen... This girl..? She would appear... Only as a child... To you... She answers to Hoppo... Or Northern Princess...”

[formerlyevilbullking-deactivate]

“The sea? Nope! I’m from the snow! A big snowfield fulla ghosts and hot springs! You’d like it, it’s called Pos Pos Snowfield!”

Big Bull noticed how the girls hand raised up a little, almost as if she wanted to touch his horns, oh no…was he too tall for her to reach them? How rude of him! He had to fix this!

He bent down a little and presented his horns to her, grinning widely.

“Gahahaha! Go on and touch them if you want!”

[kouwanhime]

“Snowfield...”

She’d never seen the snow, never mind a field of it. She’d heard of it, apparently it was like slow rain. Wait, had he just said ghosts, and that she’d like it? What did this guy know? More than he should, apparently... But before she could contemplate it further, he was leaning forwards and placing his horns into touching distance.

“O-oh... I... That is not... Necessary...” 

But despite herself, her large and metallic claw like digits reached out slowly. She touched the horns with a slight click, her touch delicate for how monstrous her hands appeared. The digits clattered softly along the horns before she realised what she was doing. Her eyes widened as she withdrew her hand, looking off to the side. “Sorry...

What is... Your name..?”

[kouwanhime]

Despite her small size, there was something about this girl that made her nervous. Her attire was reminiscent of one of them. The odd frame attached to her back only solidified her similiarity... Yet, she bore no cannons, nor did she seem to be- or be accompanied by- a carrier... Had she been stripped down, or was she something else..?

“Stop... Do not... Come any closer...”

“Identify... Yourself... What are... You?”

[kouwanhime]

formerlyevilbullking

This time, she actually had to consciously lower one of her clawed hands before she could reach out without thinking. Strange creatures were a common sight here, yet the horns always captured her attention.

“Excuse... Me...”

“You are not... Of the sea... Are you..?”

Though instead of meeting his, her eyes were fixed on his horns. 

[kouwanhime]

He had things on his head... They were in the same place as the horns of her sister, but they weren’t horns. Where those... Ears? Oh dear, she was staring, now he was staring at her.

“I’m... Sorry. I did not... Mean to...” 

But the rest was lost in an incomprehensible mumble as she tucked her chin into her gorget 

[sunlightsovereign-blog]

        She had many in this city surprised by her form, though this seemed to be one of the humanoid figures that seemed more entranced by her. She certainly reminded her of someone, though it was small. And she was just as intrigued by the girl’s appearance and name, though to be quite honest the naming pattern was similar to most in Equestria. The Alicorn bowed her head just a little, a form of polite gesture when meeting another royal.

        “Don’t worry, I am not bothered in the slightest.” She gave her a reassuring smile. “It’s quite a pleasure to meet you, Harbour Princess. I, too, am a princess in my world. My name is Celestia, Princess Celestia. And might I ask, to what do I owe the pleasure of an audience with another Princess?”

[kouwanhime]

She bowed her head to mirror the movements of the other. She wasn’t sure when she’d last been shown even a slightly respectful time, so she hesitated slightly first. Her eyes widened from their usual half lidded gaze as she continued. Celestia... It felt extremely fitting.

“O-oh...”

“Well I... Hope I have not raised... Your expectations... I am not... Particularly royal...” Her eyes fell to the ground, already she was having her doubts that Celestia followed their naming conventions, meaning it was far more likely she was an actual princess, and not a war machine... She didn’t need to know that just yet.

“I did not mean to trouble you... Celestia... May I call you... Celestia..? It is just...” One of her large claw like digits rose to the black horn crowning her head, the red rings around it glowing softly. “I have never seen another... With one quite like this...”

Seeking…

Just as she often did, even as an Abyssal ship… Simply seeking, for ways to sink down others, for other paths there are in order to achieve her objectives. What her objectives were were often unchanging: to sink the ship girls, so that they understood the pain felt by the likes of her.

Yet, just as she was making another turn…

Thud.

She hadn’t fallen, nor was she angry, only to turn to see a familiar face. She hadn’t the intention to say anything, initially, but upon realising who it was, she changed her mind.

【THANK YOU…】 

Taking the plush — of what was once her weapons — from her family member, she held it against her chest.

【YOU SEEM WELL… I THOUGHT… I WAS THE ONLY ONE TOO…】

Her voice was like a haunting echo, but within her words were warmth towards her.

【I HOPE… YOU DID NOT GET HURT… I APOLOGISE… FOR BEING IN YOUR WAY…】

[kouwanhime]

“Of course you... Didn’t hurt me...”

She allowed her features to soften. It was rare she felt like she could lower her guard, yet her sisters were an exception, and this one especially. The Battleship was powerful, and her mere presence afforded her a serene security she rarely felt otherwise.

She leaned forward, placing her head past her sister’s shoulders, and rested her claws gently on her back as she held the dark clad ship in a brief embrace. 

“You know me... I can weather many storms...” She smiled as she drew back slightly “Do you know... Where you are staying...? W-3... Is where I am designated... Though I spend most of my time... In six...“

[ ✿ ] — Ꭰespite her lack of proper nostrils or any need to breathe, really, Rosemaster would inhale through her thorn of a nose and exhale from her mouth in a quiet sigh. It was so tiresome to maintain this cool image when so much had already gone wrong— but she would not allow herself to show weakness so soon, especially in front of a princess— the enemy. Her burdens were hers and hers alone, and no one but her side could share them— and rarely.

❝ …Ꮧ few, ❞ she admitted, ❝ though not at as many as I’d like. You understand how it is to lose… ❞

Family?

❝ …Ꮧcquaintances. ❞

Better.

Raising her head, she would remember herself— ❝ Ꭹou mentioned things weren’t so alive where you’re from. Would you care to elaborate, darling? ❞

[kouwanhime]

“Yes... I do...”

And she refused to lose any more, not again... Even if they were out of reach, there was one here with her, one she wouldn’t see go down. Half closed eyes watched Rosemaster, their soft glow low. How should she word this..? There were things those not of the fleet should not know.

Then there were things she simply did not wish to share.

“Some of us... Have fallen before... Some of us... Do not get another chance... But those that do... They are never the same...”

She stared at her claw like hands in silence for a few seconds, before her gaze wandered off to the side.

“Some of us have... Become obsessed... With returning in kind... What we have suffered... And more... That’s really... All there is to it...” Not quite

“I prefer to... Avoid what I can... When I can make that choice...”

Nightmares

More often than not, Harbour Princess' nightmares call back to the night she was first destroyed.

Early during the war, and far removed from the majority of the conflict, she was never intended to see much military action. 

It only made the attack that much more devastating. 

The scenes she recalls are dark ones full of panic and fire. Confusion as to what was happening, and why. The overwhelming raid was sudden and overpowering, and she recalls it in a similar sense; surrounded by destruction and death that she can do little to prevent.

Sometimes she dreams about her sister's destruction, instead.
