darkness of roland.

Independent Sion Astal RP account. "I... now know the reason why I can't reach you. What a farce. I held out my hand to you and I ruined it myself."

[kuroiyuusha]

plot twist: i miraculously find the willpower to stay on this blog for more than once every four months 

[zenebatos]

Any reward I wish? It would be impossible for you. It is something that only Lord Sion Astal can make a reality. Only Lord Astal, a true ruler who allows the weak and the strong to coexist.

[allformulas]

I know you’re that kind of person. A workaholic tyrant who pushes his best friend around, makes him run all over the country, buries him under paperwork, then won’t even let him sleep. And everyone thinks you’re some hero king! You’re just a dictator! You’re the mean one here!

…I will if I have to. Don’t think I didn’t notice how long it’s been since you actually slept. Your bed is huge enough for two people, anywa—no, wait, not like that! I definitely didn’t mean it like that!

[kuroiyuusha]

Wow, is that so? If you didn't bother telling me, I would've never realized I do such things! You are not going to die if you spend some hours helping me with this, alright? Otherwise, I might have to ask Ferris to very gently coerce you into helping me. If you prefer that way, I might just ask her to come here. 

It is great that you realized my bed fits both you and me, but are you sure that there are no underlying feelings within these sentences? It almost sounds like you want to sleep with me. 

How very scandalous. 

[allformulas]

Wait, all-nighters?! Hell no!

This is why I should never offer to help a conniving, bullying demon king like you! You’re just trying to drive me into the ground! You’re gonna work me to the bone, and then when I’m dead, you’ll use my bones as paperweights for even more of this crap! Ugh, this seriously sucks. Why did I even bother…

And I meant I won’t let you get away from sleeping, you moron. You can’t talk me out of this as easily as you can with those subordinates of yours.

[kuroiyuusha]

Oh, that hurts me so deeply! The idea of using your bones as paperweights is interesting, sure... but it is just too morbid! Do you really think I am this kind of person? You just have to sacrifice some hours of sleep, that is all. Or would you really abandon a friend in need? You are so mean, Ryner. 

... And oh. That. What will you do, then? Sleep with me? Force me to go to bed with you? Scandalous.

[allformulas]

That sounds horrible. That probably counts as torture under some law somewhere. Cruel and unusual treatment of your subjects.

…Aah, geez, if I help you with some of this now, you have to take a break afterward. If I can’t run then I won’t let you get away, either.

[kuroiyuusha]

Come on, it is not that bad. It will just require one all-nighter. Or two. Or three. Or several. You see, there is a ton of paperwork to do, and they keep coming no matter how much I try to work on them. How is that even considered torture, knowing that you will just decide to sleep on my bed after we are done?

You speak as if I leave you to do my work and go have fun somewhere. 

[allformulas]

maybe if you took a break from your paperwork for once youd have TIME

[kuroiyuusha]

Well that is just not possible!! 

But maybe you could help me and then we'd both be productive, how does that sound? Hard mode: no running away.

◢ ♛ I’m the king of this land on the palm of your hand;

[Memories.

Memories as ancient as the world itself. They entwined each other, enveloped the tiny layer that formed this world - they would go on and on, endless… charming and absolutely terrifying, all at once. All of this would happen soon, memories that would be better left untouched, rotting in the depths of his mind… but Sion did not know of that yet.]

- “So, does it go like this?”

[Turning the computer on (or rather, figuring how that weird machine that they placed on his room worked) was the biggest problem of it all, and for some reason he could understand whatever language it was set on. Magic, perhaps? This place had way too many mysteries that the young king of Roland wasn’t entirely sure if he wanted to uncover. He looked at several costumes after struggling to find the correct program - apparently people had to dress up to be able to leave their rooms. A waste of time and money, really, but this wasn’t his primary concern. The costumes went from disturbing ones to designs that he had never seen before, including an apparently closed off file that said ‘access restricted’. What would have been normally left alone was touched this time, revealing a single costumed titled ’__dhero.001’ which Sion clicked on, unsure of what it’d do. It would be hilarious to see his complete incompetence with technology if the situation wasn’t changing quickly.

It was too familiar. 

Too familiar for Sion Astal to be comfortable with.

Because he could feel the memories of the 「Hero」 eroding his mind again, now with a terrifying speed.]

- “This can’t be…”

[And yet it was. Regal clothes swapped for armor that covered him from head to toe, his silver hair covered completely as carmine cape flowed as if bringing clear signs of a bad omen. Would he lose his mind, too? It appears that whatever was causing this - Sion thought has he had no reason but to leave his room, pain consuming his body as he took firm steps, each of them making he want to scream in from the madness and pain within - allowed him to split his mind between him and Asruld.

Ah, but it quickly reached a point where Sion couldn’t identify what was ‘him’ and what was the ‘hero’ anymore. At some time, it all got foggy and merged together. He reached the point where his teeth were clenched together, maybe as a way to suppress the pain or to contain the growl - the screams of being in such a weak state.

Only a word left his lips.]

- “Sword.”

[‘Sion’ could feel it. The desire for more power and the fact that his own body  lacked any - consumed by the sanity he worked so hard to avoid (or did he?) as swords as black as the night were summoned by him for apparently no reason, there were no 「Goddesses」 here, nothing at all to be done, nothing to search, nothing to obtain.

But how could he obtain anything?

For he is destruction.

The Mad Hero, whose only reason for existence was to end it all. And it would be done, swords reaching for the closest living existence as if aiming to immediately erase everything. 

Nothing.

Nothing.

Nothing.]

- “…I will bring this all to nothing.”

[kuroiyuusha]

ᘛ When all my sins are washed away.

It was such a bittersweet feeling. This situation was far from ideal, but... he was happy? At least Sion seemed to think that way. Ryner accepted his support in escaping Roland (thus avoiding the death sentence that was in store for him), but under one condition... that Sion accompanied him. Ryner feared that this would cause trouble for him, that his title as a War Hero wouldn't suffice to keep him alive.

At first, he had such strong feelings against it. This was Roland they were talking about, after all. He had things to do - a promise to himself and a promise to his deceased mother... a promise that he chose not to fulfill. He chose selfishness, and so they fled the country. 

Five months passed since then. They had to kept bouncing between countries to avoid being found, the reason being... Ryner was still a prisoner(a fugitive at that), after all. That, and... Sion's brothers were still clearly after his head. That corrupted country... instead of changing it, they both decided to give up on it. 

But by choosing that, wasn't that happiness? 

He had the option to change things.

But he had the option to save Ryner's life.

And when you try to weight the responsibilities against each other, it's clear what was most important to Sion right now.

It's clear what is important to him. Ever since some time ago... 

- "Ryner."

Things were more peaceful now. They finally managed to settle down, and it seemed that Roland finally gave up completely on them... for whatever reason. 

It didn't matter much, really. They were so far away from it... Sion's problems were down to take care of the house they lived in... and take care of Ryner. 

... Who was sleeping soundly on their bed. It brought a small smile to his face (he was finally able to smile truthfully, after all this time)... and at the same time, he just poured cold water on the sleeping body. 

A rude awakening, but one that this man deserved.

After all, he saved Sion from the darkness. The least Sion could do was to save Ryner, too.

- "... I'm home."

Contrary to his rude actions, his voice sounded almost sad.

More than anyone, he knew peace wasn't something that was made to last. It was something that made him want to laugh and cry at the same time. These peaceful days... he wanted to preserve them as long as possible.

These days with Ryner.

Oi, what exactly are you saying about me, Sion?

- "Me?"

- "Nothing out of the ordinary, really. Or would you like to come up with an excuse for the amount of times you had to clarify to me that you were not interested in guys? That would be quite interesting, you know."

[kuroiyuusha]

how many no homos can a no homo say before that no homo wraps around to homo

- "Perhaps you can ask someone who says this a bit too much to be completely secure about his sexual orientation.

I'm pretty sure he knows the answer to this question better than me."
