The noise was what caught her attention first.
The alarms without the sound of fighting were rare, and typically only done as a test and even then it would’ve gotten alerted multiple times to let the nobles know it was just a test. Entering the room she watched as a single man blew through the ranks of guards easily. His target was a small child recently brought in. The man holding the child dropped to the ground without a mark on him.
Stepping forward she lifted her skirts as she stepped over some of the fallen bodies, approaching the man and child. When he turned to her she paused, letting her skirts fall so she could take the sides and curtsy low to him.
“I would be a fool to think I’d have the chance of defeating or stopping you.” Her blonde locks feel forward slightly in her curtsy. “Merely came over to attend to a matter before you took the child and accidently triggered something.”
Stepping to the child she knelt down and lifted her hands to the collar around her neck, popping it open in her hands with a small push from her devil fruit abilities
One brow arched slightly at her words even as the cold, cruel mask he wore remained in place. Showing the world the demon he'd come to be known as rather than the reality of who he was. Remaining deathly still as she approached, yet not moving to stop her. After all, she, unlike almost every other person he'd encountered since breaking into this disgusting claim to power, didn't have a drop of malice in her aura.
A fact that was proven as she, a dragon in her own right since it was clear from her clothing, removed the collar from the child's throat.
Watching her for a long moment, he then crouched down next to her and the smaller form of the one he'd come to save. Gaze locking with this strange anomaly, searching for something in her eyes before moving to scoop the child into his arms. Her small frame locking around him as she buried her face into his shoulder, silent tears and terror trembling through her body.
Pausing as he turned to look over his shoulder at the women before him, before offering. "If you wish to leave this place as well, then no harm will come to you at my side."
"I think you hide so much you feel inside - but I know deep down there's a fire burning bright." She hums, after a long moment, and the stone she had been fiddling with slips out of her hand and into the water, skipping once and then twice. They've been idling by the little river for a while now, the fire raised to grill fish burning low. The clouds will clear and in a moment, the moon and stars will emerge - the reason she had given, when she decided to take him home with her.
It's a "secret" but only in so far as none of her family members has purposely commented on it - and in any case, Q.ingqiu is a place where no one bats an eye at this sort of thing. So - she throws away any qualm she might have had the moment she sets foot across the threshold of HOME - and drags him by the hand through the market, the woods, the nooks and crannies where she used to hide from her masters - the place she calls home and now she thinks, privately, he can do too if he so chooses.
"From where you stand it might not be clear." And they will like him, as much as they like her, she thinks. "But you shine from here."
@realmsethereal liked for a lyric starter !
He'd been here before, of course. There were few places that he had not tread at this point. Qingqiu had always had a beauty that called to him. So much like the Wilderness from where he came, the land was somehow untouched in a way that left it wild and free. Like the ninetails that ruled here, the land was carefree and spirited. The people were happy as they lived a simple life.
Yet to be here with her. Allowing himself to be dragged through the market and shown her secret places where she'd hidden. The map of her life revealed to him from those lips that seemed to forever be smiling. The sight of her clear happiness in having him here causing his own lips to rise softly as he reached up to cup her cheek, thumb brushing softly over her skin. Quietly accepting her words even if he didn't agree. He wasn't the one that shone, it was her.
Like a star guiding him out of a long dark night. She'd appeared and become a constant light that warmed the long chilled parts of his heart. Burning away the despair that had consumed him and giving him a reason to want to live.
The soft smile shifted as he mused, smirking slightly. "And do your parents know that you've brought me here, little fox?"
@sirensofthefiveseas for Rena from Zhao Yuanzhou
His lips pulled slightly at the corners, showing a glimmer of a smirk as he walked past the guards that stood at the gates to Mary Geoise, his power wrapping around them as he gave a command. Bodies dropped to the ground even as he lifted his umbrella slightly to watch with dark amusement as those before him either scattered to begin to attempt to order him around. It was truly sad sometimes, how those in power became so corrupted that a place as beautiful as this would be drenched in the very power that he consumed.
The entire land high above the sea where the Celestial Dragon's ruled from was drenched in Malicious Energy. His own eyes, blood red to match the power that now resided within his body, were able to see the hovering dark clouds of red power that tainted the sky.
Power that he fed on even as he walked further into their city. The smirk on his lips grew even as his senses reached out, searching for the child that had been taken. The child of one of the few in this world that he still cared for. Easily picking up on her scent and then following it through the sprawling city until he found her at the side of a Celestial Dragon. The waves of energy coming off the man causing true fury to spark in his eyes as he gave another command, red power spreading out from him. "Die."
As the man fell to the ground, he moved forward and knelt before the girl who had been forced into slavery, holding out his hand to her. Rising as her small hand slipped into his before rising and turning slightly at the sound of another appearing behind him. Umbrella lifting just enough that they'd be able to see his dark smirk as he purred in amusement. "Have you come to stop me?"
Ok, I'm actually starting to feel like I can write again. So going to do some clean up and drafts here and on my One Piece Multi today. :D
Appears like a wild gremlin. I have not abandoned these realms I swear.

Psychopath Sentences, Vol. 2
(Sentences for conversations with psychopaths. Adjust phrasing where needed)
"Has anyone ever told you that you're very much like an arachnid?"
"Do you think some people are born evil?"
"How can you be so cold?"
"I'll be honest with you, I've done my fair share of butchering over the years."
"I like you, but one thing you are not is a nice guy. Not even a little."
"Do you like frightening children?"
"I was not made to scream."
"I knew you were too mean to die."
"Do you think that you may be a psychopath? I worry that I may be sometimes."
"You have a cruel streak. I hadn't realised it before."
"You know, you're not quite right."
"Using someone's emotions like this is wrong!"
"You are a lonely, selfish, narcissistic asshole who doesn't give a shit about anything about yourself and your own ego!"
"You always live in a dark place. No joy. No love."
"You know, psychopaths are extremely skilled at imitating human emotions. It's how they manipulate other people, or how they gain power over their environment."
"I'm adopting a façade of caring."
"A cold heart is a dead heart."
"Relax. You'll live. I just need you compliant."
"You're either really dumb, or you're trying to provoke me, which also makes you really dumb."
"I cannot deny that you fascinate me, but I will not participate in your game."
"It's all an act with you, isn't it?"
"How can you be so cruel?"
"I've always been preternaturally inclined to violence. I was exposed to it from an early age."
"If you want to make an omelette, you have to kill some people."
"How do you understand emotions if you don't have them?"
"Tell me something; is this the first time you've negotiated with someone like me?"
"I'm not very nice. You haven't noticed that by now?"
"What if feeling nothing is the worst pain of all?"
"Do you find me unsettling?"
"Holy christ, you're a morbid fuck!"
"Kindness is hypocrisy."
"Don't say anything too emotional. It'll be uncomfortable."
"You should be more afraid of me."
Send "PINNED" for your muse to pin mine against a wall.
You [ the sender ] can include context as to whether or not it is done out of anger, as a threat, sexual tension, playfulness, etc.. or else let the receiver decide! Send "PINNED + reverse" for your muse to be pinned by mine instead!
Send, "Shush, now." for sender to hold receiver's mouth shut.
"Embrace me!"
FANGS OF FORTUNE 大梦归离 (2024) ep. 22
"I've read somewhere that demons don't typically go after my type," Bex said cordially. He straightened slightly and nodded. "Mm. I have my resume and some recommendations if that's still a concern."
"Whatever books you are reading are incorrect, then." He mused, one hand moving behind his back to rest comfortably there as his gaze flicked over the other. "Though you do not have to fear that here."
Leaning forward a bit, he whispered. "Only the ones that won't eat you are allowed to roam free."
Tenderness and kindness are not signs of weakness and despair, but manifestations of strength and resolution.
Khalil Gibran
“Hmm. Maybe!” Uri laughed brightly, uncaring if she was alone or not in the world. There were plenty of people who enjoyed her presence simply because it put other people off their guard. Yes it was still only being used for company because she made other people feel threatened, but it was still company.
When he turned down the seat she shrugged slightly, attention turned to the wine as he questioned it. “Ah no. Uncle won’t break that out until later when the rabble leaves and only his honored guests are allowed to stay.” Taking another sip of the wine she hummed softly “I would imagine this is probably some Orlesian brand, good enough for showing but he probably got it for half price because it’s not the best vintage.”
She knew her uncle well
"Shame, I was rather looking forward to trying the wines of this region that I've heard so much about." The deep red coloring of the wine was already different from what he was used to. Most wines he'd had were peach or rice-based. The color clear and flavoring soft and smooth.
Gaze drifting to where the rest of his chosen family were, deep in discussion about the recent Demon activity they'd been summoned to deal with, he then flicked his gaze back to her. Fascinated by her seeming comfort with being different and someone often feared. "Have you always not cared what others think of you?"
@scarredfeathers asked: "Why are you looking at me like that..?" (For whoever wants to answer)
He'd been startled. Most when dealing with the Demon Hunting Bureau never addressed him, especially after learning who he was, and yet the future empress had approached him with seemingly no fear at all. Leaving him wondering if she truly knew who he was. Not that it causes him to be rude. If anything, the smile that grew softly over his lips was warmer than anything. "Most would rather not have to deal with me, that is all."
Gaze rising over her shoulder too Jun and the others of his team, he then mused. "Though considering whom you are engaged to I suppose I shouldn't be surprised."
