#I NEEDED TO REBLOG IT UGH #ask meme prompt

Send me one guess and I’ll rate it:

Every muscle on Ayla’s body is tense, quivering, waiting for her to spring and strike. She curls her bloodied fingers into fists as she waits for something — anything — to happen, and at last she gets her wish for bloodshed.

Though it’s her blood that is shed.

Breathe. It was always hardest to breathe after casting a succession of spells such as those. Any blood he took from her restored his energies but depleted them just as quickly, the haze of his power left him practically gasping even as he smirked down at her. Still, though he was drained of mana he was filled with adrenaline. Working as a conduit for such dark magics left Adriel’s body practically humming with endorphins. Endorphins that gave way to arousal, which beat steadily in his pulse. Not that Ayla seemed to give a shit.

The dwarf’s focus is on her weapon, despite the fact that they’ve already slayed dozens of raiders and could use a moment to breathe. Still he isn’t expecting her to return to his side only to smack him with the blunt end of her spear. Better than the pointed blade yes but unwanted all the same. His grip is still tight the weapon that had been used to drain his ally and destroy his enemies and he’s rather tempted to smack her back with it. Still he’s rather more interested in progressing further rather than wasting anymore time in this same patch of dreary forest so he holds back. That is of course until she meets his gaze and wipes a streak of red across her cheek from her lips, fury in her eyes and her tone. And he’d be lying if he claimed he wasn’t all the more aroused by the sight of it. Back at the circle he’d gotten quite a few lustful looks in his direction, many that he acted on, giving into his carnal desires every so often to settle his tensions but this look is far better than every one of them combined. He’s never seen such hatred aimed at him and he’s never wanted to devour someone so thoroughly. There is no response to her comment, well no vocal one at least. Instead he responds with his body, crowding her space in a single step. One hand moves to her cheek, tilting her face up to meet his as he swoops down, forcing their lips to meet. A growl forms in his chest, desire moving through him and he doesn’t know how to stop, doesn’t want to stop. Not when he licks at her bottom lip, tasting the blood of the fools they’d cut down together and the blood that fueled his power. He’s hungry for it. Touch starved yes but more than that. Something maddeningly erotic about killing together and surviving on each other’s strengths. He wants her more than he’s wanted another in a very long time and it’s evident as he refuses to withdraw until his tongue has thoroughly scoured her mouth. When he pulls back there is blood smeared along his own lips and his eyes are hooded with desires he still cannot speak.

“Oh, but what will happen to you, when you’re done? Certainly, with how two-faced your motives are in the Circle it wouldn’t be a shock to find yourself in a whole new predicament, hm? What if one outstaged you, and turned on you instead?”

#UM #DONT YOU DARE IS #i mean come on rule jointly instead yes #don't hint at one of my newest ships full of betrayal #i don't appreciate this #bahaha #isiliden

“I will assume my rightful place in the Magisterium. Even if someone outstages me I’m not bothered by it. Not a single mage here can get in my way and you’re daft to insinuate otherwise. You’re not doing very well demon, aren’t you supposed to break me or use me or something?”

“I likely won’t be the last, then. You’ve made either a horrid mistake or lost a really shitty bet to end up here, to be honest. I heard the Imperium is a lot friendlier for us lot.”

“Horrid mistake. Mostly.” To be fair Adriel was the horrid mistake in and of himself as far as his family was concerned, “The Imperium is friendlier though only if you’ve got connections. Doesn’t matter now. What about you? Starkhaven right?”

#isiliden

An abomination is a creature created when a demon possesses a living being with magical abilities. An abomination has access to a mage’s full power, and is thus typically far more dangerous than any other type of possession. There are stories of abominations that have ravaged entire settlements or even gone on to tyrannize a countryside for years after their creation.

The moment the birds stop chirping, Ayla knows something’s wrong. The back of her neck prickles as her predatory instincts go into overdrive, and she narrows her eyes. Nostrils flaring, she inhales deeply and then grips her longspear tightly in her right hand. She’s so keyed into the forest around her that she doesn’t even notice her charge moving ahead of her, instead sweeping her gaze across their surroundings.

Then the idiot blood mage speaks and just like that everything goes to hell. There’s a glimmer to her left—light flashing off of metal—and she has just enough time to lunge forward and slam into the blood mage as an arrow bites through the air where he was standing a split second before. They hit the ground, hard, but Ayla’s on her feet in an instant, longspear at the ready. A man in ill-fitting fur armor springs from the bushes with an axe aimed at her face; she spins and delivers one well-placed slash across his torso, splitting open his belly and spilling its contents onto the ground. He falls with only a strangled scream to announce his death.

Just like that the forest around her erupts with men and women who’re no doubt raiders, if their ragtag clothing and shoddy weapons are anything to go by. They’ve definitely got the numerical advantage, but they’re facing off against someone who’s fought genlocks and hurlocks and ogres for years on end. Not to mention, she’s pissed as hell.

With a guttural snarl she pivots just in time to drive her spear right through the throat of a woman trying to flank her, kicking the corpse to dislodge her from the spear’s blood-red tip. The body goes flying and knocks over another man who was fast approaching, twin axes raised. As soon as he hits the ground, Ayla drives her spear down into his chest, puncturing through his cracked leather armor and ripping through his heart.

One by one the raiders rush her, and one by one she cuts them down with a brutal and barbaric efficiency. She fights like an animal; every move she makes has a purpose, and that purpose is centered entirely around tearing everything apart. It’s only a matter of moments before her face and her hair and her pelt and her soul is spattered with blood, and she relishes in every drop of it with an expression that’s somewhere in between reverence and pure, wholesome violence.

This is her religion and she worships every single goddamn corpse.

Even when a quick-footed rogue manages to dart past her guard and open up a gash on her arm, the delight in her eyes doesn’t fade. Instead she just retaliates with a hiss and then smashes her spear through the rogue’s eyes with enough force to crack most of the bones in her face. Kicking her away, Ayla turns to face the remaining raiders who circle her warily, and that’s when she notices one of the raiders has a staff instead of a sword.

A mage. From the look on his face, he’s channeling a spell. And knowing the piss-poor control that apostate raiders have, Ayla knows immediately it’s nothing good.

Her body’s already in motion even before her thoughts have finished processing. By the time she realizes what the mage is doing, she’s already got her arm up and she’s releasing her precious longspear with deadly speed and lethal accuracy. Locked up in his channeling, the mage doesn’t even have a chance of dodging; Ayla’s spear slams into his body and a sickening crack resonates as the metal embeds itself into his spine.

For a brief moment, nobody moves. All of the raiders just stare at her, watching as she straightens, weaponless but by no means harmless. Blood drips down the cut on her arm, trailing down her hand and dripping from her fingers onto the grass. She’s at a severe disadvantage now, though she doesn’t show it. Instead of flinching she stares straight ahead, her hands curling into fists as she turns to face the largest of the remaining raiders. Her lips curl as a promise flickers through her eyes, one that she will die before she breaks.

She will send their bodies to hell and bring back their heads.

The Tevinter wandered unknowingly further into the thick woods, unaware of the mayhem surrounding him at every turn. He hadn’t led a particularly special life, his childhood as a Soporati had taught him what it meant to handle poverty and more over what it meant to fight for recognition but it did little to prepare for dealing with woods. Had someone been attempting to break into his window or attempting to set his home ablaze in the dead of night he would have been well prepared but—as he discovers when Ayla barrels into him for his own good—an arrow sailing through the thicket is something he cannot handle on his own. He’d have been up in arms about being forced to the ground as he was but as he’d heard the sound of that very arrow hitting the trunk of a tree, lodging itself deep within the thick hard wood. The idea that it may have been in his flesh instead is not a pleasant one by any means and he’s glad for her presence in that moment. And the subsequent moments that follow. Adriel was rarely silent but now’s a good a time as any to attempt the state. As he turns from his face down position to supporting himself on his elbows he cannot help but watch the warrior with rapt focus. Ayla is single handedly destroying a mess of bandits that thought they’d get the better of the two. Each movement is fiercer than the last and his eyes are struggling to keep up with her movements. Swift, calculated, her body one with her weapon and the flow of battle. She’s a savage, dancing among her prey and everyone is captivated though Adriel highly doubts his focus is for the same reason. No, these chasind men and women are attempting to fight for their lives. Not only to stay alive but to win, to come out with their stomachs fuller or even better their pockets full for any real lasting difference in their lives. The dwarf is not at all eager to allow them to walk away let alone with any sort of victory in their hearts and the sentiment mirrors Adriel’s own thoughts. He’s come too far to lose a single copper to these heathens. Pushing himself from the ground the mage steadies himself with his staff firmly in the ground. It takes only one breath before he’s drawing from the spilt blood of these enemies, not enough, not nearly enough but it’s enough to start. Enough to get his own blood pumping in his veins with the adrenaline of a kill on the horizon or many if he’s so inclined. Another breath. Another spell. And now Ayla has slayed more than Adriel cares to count and sees the mage at the same second that Adriel does. With great power and precision she sends her spear hurling towards the apostate and he crumbles, spine breaking with a loud crack that echoes amongst them. She’s paused, watching, waiting, willing another to step towards her. It would be no surprise to blood mage that she simpy wrench a weapon from anyone of them in order to continue her assault but just as she was planning each of them planned in return, attempting to find a way to cut her down without injuring themselves. This is not something that Adriel would like, already finding an attachment to the body guard he’d handpicked, so he works with what he’s got available. The rogue seemed to have nicked a vein, the blood pouring from the dwarves pale skin is free flowing and calling to the man behind her. Without a second thought he summons forth the meager bit of mana he’d managed to regain and calls to the blood rushing through her. It wields easily to his command, gushing from her wound, pouring out to the open air for him to accumulate. Another flick of his wrist and the crimson power comes rushing towards him. The mage absorbs it, embraces the liquid of her life and forces it to become his own power and life in turn. Another slam, a wave of dark magic flying from him and the remaining raiders begin to shriek in agony. They’d all gathered closer, assuming their numbers would make them overwhelming but really all it does is make Adriel’s job easier. One casting of blood wound and they’re all infected, every ounce of blood in their bodies boiling instantly. Multiple weapons drop to the floor, any of them suitable for Ayla if she so chose to pick them up but to be fair Adriel didn’t notice. The power that sustained him at this point was setting him on a high that he hadn’t experienced in ages. Teaching in the circle never gave them a chance to try something like this which meant it hadn’t been since they’d slit the throat of Krej’s slave that he’d gotten a chance to manipulate blood so free flowing. And the thought of his former mentor sends the mage further into the hazy state he’d already been dwelling in. This time with a flick of his wrists he picks a large warrior from the bunch, capturing his will in the palm of his hands. Adriel can feel the thrum of life in the man and it’s intoxicating. Soon enough he’s dancing just as Ayla had been, slashing the throats of his brothers and sisters who’d continued to writhe. If any one of these fools had a stronger mental state to stabilize themselves perhaps they wouldn’t have fallen to him so easily but as it is. In a matter of minutes there is a pile of bodies littered along the ground, the puppet ending the charade by piercing his own chest with his broad sword per his master’s command. Adrenaline still flowing through him he turns his focus on Ayla. It may have been his powers but it was her blood supplying him. They made an awfully good team and Adriel was nearly titillated with the idea of what they could do if they truly worked in tandem with one another. “Well,” he comments, voice rough with exertion or arousal one couldn’t say for sure though he is perfectly clean save for the mud that had caked onto his outfit, “that was fun.”

“So, the little mage boy has some sense after all.” Ayla arches a brow.

“Come on, then, and keep your voice down. I’m not the only person in these woods who’s more than happy to knock your teeth in.”

#THEY ARE GONNA FIGHT #IT IS HAPPENING #legixnnaire #i love how much we both love fights too it's great #ships and fights

The comment doesn’t frighten him nearly as much as it’s meant to and despite his hesitancy at fighting her presently he’s not afraid of her. He believes he’s seen enough in his few years in the circle and on his own in exile so this dwarf (despite her power) does little to phase him. Not that he doesn’t grumble about it as he walks past her, deciding for the first time to lead the way through the filthy forest they’d been drudging through. After a moment he caves, needing to fill the silence that’s surrounding them. Not a sound could be heard in the forest and if he were a more worldly man he’d know that this is a warning of danger but alas, his own bias for speaking his mind comes out. “I’ll have you know that if I’m missing teeth by the time we make it back to the Imperium I’ll be deducting from your payout.”

like this post for a (probably) banter starter with this douche

“Ser Rutherford! Apologies, I-- We weren’t expecting anyone on patrol at present.” A young blond mage wriggles free from beneath him, hiding her face as she rushes past the templar, her robes pulled tight around her. Adriel however is not nearly as frightened though perhaps he should be. “Am I to be punished for this?”

#firmusproeliumus #NO AU #JUST IN THE CIRCLE AT KIRKWALL #YEP #also present tense sorry i can change it if you change to past that's fine

Ayla bared her teeth at him, a quick flash ofwhite wolf’s fangs. “And what if I do?”

#legixnnaire #when he has more strength there will be blood #then probably kissing #hahaha

The grip on his staff tightens ever so slightly, he wasn’t at all ready for a fight with this ridiculous wolf girl. “Then we’ll have to save it for a day where we have the time. Presently I think it’s more important that we continue on our way.”

Ayla can’t help but snort at that. “It’s not pretending if it’s true.”

#lol no adriel you don't wanna have this fight #you're still weak from the last time you fought her #you stupid #legixnnaire #ayla just tell him to shove it

The mage looked pointedly at the dwarf. “I don’t think you want to have this fight.”

“You could tell? Congratulations my friend you’re the first to point it out. Imperium. I’m from the Tevinter Imperium.”

“Your work is admirable, my dear. Do you know the true weight of your actions, what you’ve set in motion, what will become of your students, should they thirst for what blood cannot give them?”
