𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓'𝐒 𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐍𝐎𝐖 ? Tawny optics veer off toward a long-haired individual ( @oreichalkos ) ⸺ a peculiar energy swelling within. Daresay he monikers divine, unbeknownst to him, they're anything above mundane. The sort of sensation of a chilling air rolling in, striking chills down the spine. A sixth sense, some would call it: Jonouchi's extreme displeasure. The face, is recognizable; another unpleasantry.

Time has passes since their endeavors at Doma. He's grown smarter, wiser. And if there's one thing for certain in accordance to the faux blond ⸺ he's trusting his gut before all else. REDEMPTION ? Oh, he's gotta see it to believe it; not to say that's what the other is seeking. Just precautions, you know.

❛ You better not be up to no funny business. ❜ Forewarned the Yankee. Man or beast, no harm, no foul. His hands' rating E for EVERYONE.

He knows this voice. He knows better now that this is not Hermos. Dardanos had done what he could to leave the influence of the mother goddess behind him and simply live- even if it wasn't the same as those around him, he could have that little taste of humanity.

It reminded him of the days before his apotheosis. He was carefree back then, and naive.

❝ Sometimes you still do sound like him. LIke Hermos. ❞ Dardanos can't help but laugh- a warm, musical sound. ❝ He often caught me trying to skip out on tutoring sessions- he would tell me to do the responsible thing. To not act like a child. I think that's ... similar? ❞

He's different with the mother goddess buried and quiet. The world knew Dardanos Eleazar as someone kind, someone who wanted to help the world. A philanthropist and genius. They also called him somewhat shy when he hadn't prepared for a social outing, knew that he could be flustered just as easily as he could become quite passionate about a topic at hand.

He knows Jonouchi never saw that part of him. Jonouchi saw the mother goddess in all her great and terrible wrath. Dardanos still can't find the proper words to explain what happened. Sometimes, he's not sure himself.

❝ I'm not here to cause trouble, I came here to check on a new branch of the company. I didn't expect to see you here, but I do hope you've been well. Hermos chose a strong champion. ❞ Somehow, it feels like this encounter has taken a weight off of his shoulders, even if the other is less than pleased. ❝ I do offer my apologies for all that happened. I understand words may mean little. A wiseman told me to take action to prove change. ❞

Golden eyes sweep over Jonouchi's form as if to reassure the young god that this is still not Hermos, but he isn't so far. ❝ You may come see the new building as well if it will put your heart somewhat at ease, although it will likely be rather boring for a spirited duelist. ❞

atlantis-prince

His heart was fully racing, anxiety pulsing through his body. Nobody had ever driven him to such a point - one of fear. The effect of his great god upon his form hadn't helped, weakened to a point that he was no longer above humanity rather - he was just like them.

Clutching his chest and stumbling backward. The temple walls crumbling and many things aflame. A strained gurgle as blood was brought up, dribbling from his lips and even staining his glorious robes. For a brief moment, his green hues relented, revealing the amber that lied deep within for many years. Gaze softening, was it finally over? Was he free?... Death awaiting them? Panting as his heart continued to race, the familiar seal surrounding his feet in a faint green hue. His green iris returning as he stared upon the intruder "This....this...isn't... p-possible..." Another splurge of blood ripped from his mouth, quickly masking it with his palm. "I cannot go... not yet-.. i-...cannot.."

Here, she had thought this vessel to endure; carrying the power of the Mother Goddess for ten thousand years only to fail? He had fallen in battle once before- not so unlike this, with his city collapsing around him. A mother's gift, perhaps, the freedom from the shackles of a superficial paradise! Now, it seemed he was no longer capable of wielding that power.

❝ Is this how it ends for you, little prince? I have given you many gifts- power to remake this planet, a body that will never age- apotheosis- and yet you exist in this state... ❞

The Mother Goddess had learned to mirror his form, ethereal and regal. She had learned to build from the primordial mud her own self once more, but wasn't this a familiar reflection? One day she knows she will regain her claws and fangs, her horned crown and wings, but not yet. For now, this mirror would do.

❝ You have thrown your divinity away, but I cannot understand how or why. Are you tired, little prince? Or do you wish to live? You are still my child, as all things in this world are. I forged the beings of the land and seas... I love them, my children, even though they have left me and lost their way... ❞

It's pitiful, looking at him like this. She pities him.

❝ Do you wish to return to the earth and sea? A good mother always welcomes her children home. ❞

#the world in the memory of the oracle ⎛ meta analysis ⎠

something something swordsmen were a replacement for the legendary knights because here we have king dardanos “i am the master of reverse coping”, he’s a mess. (theres more about this problem here)

dardanos was once exceptionally close to the legendary knights. he looked up to them in his childhood. they trained him with a sword ( they attempted to teach him to use other weapons, but that went badly ), tutored him in philosophy, encouraged him to love and to accept. they were there when he had his first??? ascension to his divine self, because they could also be dragons, so he didn’t feel so odd. he relied on them for a lot.

whatever was left of him under gaea’s control was hurt seeing them stand against him! instead of trying to help him from his curse, he saw it as that they simply gave up on him. which is untrue, but the mother goddess warped a great deal of his memories and perceptions. so he sealed them away.

over the ten thousand years, he attempted many times to recreate what he had. not even just with the knights. he occasionally took lovers who reminded him of iorei, he would be kind to children who reminded him of his little chrysanthe. but being immortal sucks, so none of that ever lasted.

rafael ( timaeus ), amelda ( critias ), and valon ( hermos ) are only the most recent attempts at this unhealthy recreation of the past. due to the mother goddess' influence, now having caused dardanos to suffer ten thousand years, they didn’t get the same treatment as the ‘swordsmen’ of the past which is sad. but under all his rage at the world, he did care about them! he gave them shards of the oracle because it was his way of giving them an out. so that they wouldn’t have to die from that power. a choice made by dardanos, because the mother goddess didn’t give two shits.

other members who joined doma in the modern age weren’t so lucky. except mai (dardanos liked her a lot!). haga and ryuuzaki got shafted because basically dardanos had recreated enough of what he wanted to see others as disposable, so yikes thanks for coming to my tedtalk

#the world in the memory of the oracle ⎛ meta analysis ⎠

what’s one of your muse’s deepest secrets? would they be willing to share it with someone?

aside from being a sad immortal from a kingdom that died ten thousand years ago? uhh, well dardanos is actually sorta terrified of gaea’s power, he’s also lonely. he tries not to show how scared and lonely he is but sometimes that’s hard to hide.

as mentioned in my post about the swordsmen, dardanos talked to rafael a lot. maybe raf didn’t know everything, but there was that level of trust that he didn’t really feel with the others. he also told all of the swordsmen about atlantis and of how wonderful it had been and of how much he did miss it.

while rafael knew the most, they all knew that dardanos wasn’t some totally cold inhuman thing, he was shockingly emotional and could be quite gentle and likely was the most soulful person they’d ever met, no pun intended. he let himself be gentle around them. he did offer them support as best he could because he did care. regardless of what gaea did, dardanos cared a lot, which was arguably his entire problem. caring too much.

they were able to learn who he is at the core, which he otherwise guards. even with his philanthropist persona, no one else really knows how deeply he does feel those things, or the impact it had on him and he’s not too keen on sharing??? it’s not really something that can just be talked about, right?

Give my muse what you think they deserve.

willow: how does your muse handle sadness and depression?

poorly. and that’s putting it nicely. at least if it’s his own. dardanos really just tries to avoid dealing with his own problems. it’s no big surprise he’s sad and depressed, no one really knows the full depths of it. his sorrow and depression is as vast and deep as the ocean itself.

he focused on trying to make things less shitty for others; genuinely, he cared and i’ll get more on that in the next point, but his acts as ‘dardanos eleazar, the philanthropist’ were very, very genuine and nourishing the world and seeing light bloom in people’s hearts made him a little less sad.

zinnia: how has the loss of fallen comrades and/or loved ones affected your muse? has it taught them anything or given them any new perspectives?

the loss of iorei literally broke him on some fundamental level. and it wasn’t that she suddenly turned into a monster, it was she fell horribly ill, he watched her waste away and there was nothing he could do. the power of the oracle made her sick. pure souls like hers don’t take well to that. there was nothing monstrous in her for the power to latch onto, so it just drained her instead. in the end, when her body was too weak, she did transform, but it was almost like she knew it would happen. of course dardanos did not take that well because he was still forced to kill her! her death prompted him to finally ask the gods why. why was all of this happening? the mother goddess used the opportunity to ruin him.

dardanos was also once a fairly pure soul. he had more ‘darkness’ for the power to latch onto, but what it really fed on was his grief.

the next massive losses. the knights and his father and daughter condemning him as a madman instead of reaching out to help him when he needed it most! this grief became rage. it made him paranoid, for if he couldn’t trust his own family, his closest friends, who could he trust? it made him see that there was cruelty in the world and it hurt. the mother goddess fed on this, too.

the battle of atlantis where basically everyone died. with all the power he had, everyone still died. this is what ultimately drove him into that place of endless sorrow and depression.

jumping forward 10,000 years, the swordsmen. he wasn’t happy knowing that they’d fallen. he stared blankly at the tablets with their souls because he just felt a deep emptiness. seeing amelda and then varon sorta ... yeah, it was bad and dardanos just checked out and gaea ran rampant. he only really came back when he saw the legendary knights because he wanted to end timaeus’ entire career because that hatred had festered (and it’s been addressed in another post). in the end, what he learned from all of his losses was that maybe he had to find the right things to focus on. or, other people should strive to live for joy. that everything he’d done as a philanthropist was his own soul fighting back against the mother goddess. losing so much, suffering endlessly, showed him where gaea ended and where he began and that was one of the most helpful things to ever happen to him ever. because be it in the realm of the gods or in the realm of mortals, he could pick up the pieces of himself.
