🎱 for Azalea and Imalia from Andi and Cleo!

Eeeee!  Thank you for letting me write about your charming ladies smooching mine!

“A Kiss for Luck”

“The fucking gall,” Imalia growled as she tightened the strap of her pauldron.  “Who the hell thinks they can actually attack a city full of magic users?!”

“Rogue mages,” Azalea answered simply.  “You know...like the ones marching outside the city.”

Imalia huffed.  “I’ve beaten rogue mages before, and I’ll do it again and again and again until word gets around that a FOUL TEMPERED ASS-WHOOPER lives here!!”

Azalea snorted, adjusting the fitted plate armor to her chest.  She stretched her arms out and tested their mobility.  She’d never worn armor before.  She had never needed to.

But this was a unique circumstance.  Her aqua and coral hair was tied back into a high ponytail that was braided.  She glanced over at Imalia and realized that the two of them looked a little too similar, since Imalia always wore her brown and burgundy hair in a high ponytail...but also like Imalia, Azalea now wore a headband with a magic seal emblazoned on it.  Imalia had explained why it was a good idea...if any spell needed to be sustained, the mark on the headband would take care of it.  Good for protection spells, or flying spells.  That freed up the hands and the mind for offensive magic.  And offensive magic would be vital for driving the invaders back.

There was a knock at the door.

“Come in!” Imalia said, reaching down to pick up a long red cloak with her family crest, the royal crest of Sayruun, embroidered on it.

The door opened and in walked two figures.  Two beautiful women, one with short blonde hair, blue eyes, and fair skin; and the other red-haired, green-eyed, and covered in constellation-like freckles, entered the room.  Both Azalea and Imalia brightened up.

“Andi!  Cleo!”

Andi gave a small wave.  “We wanted to see you two before you headed out.”

“And I wanted to do my duty and see if either of you needed to talk before you left,” Cleo added.

Imalia stood up straight and tall.  “I don’t know about Azzie, but I’m not worried.  This is just same-old same-old to me.”

“Not for me,” Azalea said quietly.  “I’ve never had to go to battle before.  Not like this.”

Imalia rested her arm on Azalea’s shoulder, leaning.  “And if you remember all of those badass spells I taught you, you will be just fine.”

“That’s another thing,” Andi said.  She walked up to Azalea and shyly held out her hand.  Azalea gently wrapped her hand around Andi’s and gave it a squeeze.  When Andi withdrew, she had left something in Azalea’s hand.  Azalea examined it, and felt a lump form in her throat.  It was an azalea flower.  There was the quiet thrum of magic energy emanating from it.

“Oh...Andi…” she said, her own blue and gold eyes glistening.

Andi smiled.  “It will protect you.”

Azalea reached forward and wrapped Andi in a tight hug.  “Thank you so much,” she whispered.  “I’ll keep it close.”

Imalia smiled at the two.  “Aww, you guys are so sweet.”

“Hey, you weren’t left out either, ma’am,” Cleo said, stepping directly in front of Imalia.  Imalia quirked an eyebrow and smirked, her crimson eyes flashing.

“Oooh, do I get a goodbye dance?” she said, waggling her eyebrows.

Cleo rolled her eyes.  “No, that’s for when you get back.”  She looked into Imalia’s eyes, all hints of mirth gone.  “I wanted you to have this.”

She took Imalia’s hand and slipped a gold ring on her finger.  In its setting was a single vivid blue stone that glowed brightly.

“It will always lead you home,” Cleo said softly.

Imalia hooked her index finger under Cleo’s chin and raised her face up to look into hers.

“I’m coming home.  Nothing in this world or any other can stop me.”  She gave a cocky grin.  “And if they try...well.  I hope they’ve made peace with whatever deity they pay homage to.”

Cleo smiled and wiped an errant tear from her eye.

“Tell me again why we have to stay behind?” Andi asked sadly.

“The best of us need to make sure the magical barrier stays up around the city,” Azalea said.  “You have to keep the people safe.  If the rogues get past us, you are all that stands between Vesuvia and destruction.”  She took Andi’s hand in her own and kissed her knuckles.  “We believe in you.  Make sure we have a home to return to.”

Andi nodded, now unable to keep the tears from her eyes.  “Please...stay safe.”

She reached over and pulled Azalea close, placing a soft and gentle kiss on her lips.

“For luck.”

Azalea smiled and let out a small sigh.  “Now I know we will win.”

Imalia looked at Cleo and gave her the most charming grin.

“I could use some luck too,” she said.

Cleo laughed, a sound that was pure music to Imalia’s ears.  Tucking a stray lock of red hair behind her ear, Cleo leaned forward...and suddenly felt light-headed as Imalia wrapped her arms around Cleo and dipped her, placing a very not chaste kiss on her lips.  Once Cleo was upright once more, she slapped Imalia’s shoulder.  She couldn’t hide the adorable blush that spread over her freckled cheeks.  Imalia laughed heartily.  She twirled the red cloak about her shoulders and fastened it to her armor.

“Well, my lovelies...drinks at the Raven when we come back.”

Devil Andi

My other friend’s OC Andi, but in Lucio’s reversed ending as the new Devil. Andi’s normal magic is based on lush greenery and nature, and admittedly I recently went back and refreshed my memory for the new God of War, and was inspired to give her a Devil of a different kind of hell. So instead of just doing her up in fire and brimstone, I decided to give her the hell of a brambled and barren, icy wasteland <3

Apprentice Andi
