Jake woke up to his alarm, with no energy or will to get up to his early morning class. That had become his routine- waking up and questioning whether he would go to class or work or stay in his bed and wallow in his depression. He was completely oblivious to it though, and every time Emily tried to convince him he needed help, he either denied or straight-up didn’t respond to the accusations of him having a problem. After all, he wasn’t the one who needed help.
Sleepless nights, sleepless days, staring at the walls and rarely eating anything was what filled his life now, no matter how much Emily tried to make him take care of himself. The only thing he was responsive to was when she shrunk down and hugged him. It became a habit of theirs, as Emily felt it was the only thing that helped him feel better or express any emotion. He would hold her and sometimes silently sob until he did fall sleep.
One day, while they were asleep like that on the couch, they heard a knock on the front door. Jake placed Emily behind him on the couch and walked up to the door, looking through the peep hole. It was James, alone.
“Hey,” Jake said as he opened the door, “what are you doing here? It’s the middle of the day.”
“I haven’t been working for weeks now. Don’t tell Jade I’m here. She doesn’t know I quit my job.”
Jake let him in, and Emily grew back to her normal size. She didn’t realize James never knew she could sizeshift.
“Oh… sorry.”
“You… what was that?”
“I… I’m a sizeshifter. Sorry I didn’t tell you before.”
“It’s… o…okay…” he mumbled, walking in and setting down his bag.
“Why are you here?” Jake asked him, his voice carrying a bit of poison as he and Emily had been growing their suspicions that he and his wife were hiding something vital from them.
“I’m here to make things right.”
Jake and Emily looked at each other.
“I’m a bad liar, so I’ll just get to the point. I think I know where she is.”
Jake’s eyes widened. He grabbed James’ jacket, pulling him closer to him in anger. “And you’re just telling up NOW?”
“I know, I know,” he held his hands up. “I should’ve said something right away, but Jade would not have let me. I’ve been looking all this time while faking going to work so Jade won’t suspect anything. But I just found something, and I came as soon as I could.” He gestured to his bag, and Jake let him go. Then, he pulled out a book and his laptop, sitting down on the couch. Opening the laptop and the book simultaneously, he began explaining:
“There’s a cult operating somewhere on the outskirts of the next city over, secretly, and I have reason to believe they have Mar.” He looks at the two young adults sitting in front of him. “They were the ones telling us about the Deity. I don’t know how they found out about us, but they did and told us exactly what to do in order to get the God’s attention. Anyway, they’ve done everything they could to stay hidden, but I work in tech and could easily hack into their systems. Took me a while though, but I did it and found their location. First of all, you should know that they’re extremely dangerous. We had to move constantly when Mar was a child so they wouldn’t take her. She, of course, didn’t know about them, so we could do nothing when she moved out after years of begging us to.
“Looking back, I think they stopped trying to take her after a while, and were merely observing her to see when the deity would start showing signs of a connection. Which is when they came and kidnapped her that day months ago.”
“So…” Emily broke the silence that fell upon them when he finished, “they were behind everything, basically.” James nodded. Jake was balling his fists. He wanted to punch something, someone, anything. He wanted to rage and destroy everything. A cult is even worse than what he thought. But Emily placed a hand on his arm.
“I’m angry too, Jake. Hell, I would rush in there with you to get her, but we have to be smart about this, or else we might make things worse. If we rush in, they might kill her in defense or retaliation. We have to prepare.”
Jake looked at her, tears welling up in his eyes. “We’re so close, Emily… I have to make it right. I have to save her.”
“I know.” He replied. She wanted to say more, to reassure him that they were going to, that it’s not only on him, but with James there waiting to continue, they had to stay focused.
James then flipped the book around so they could read it and began explaining the origins of that cult. The book was yellow and aging, with pages ripped out and taped back in again. It was big, too, thicker than the size of Jake’s arm.

“What are you?” The person said, when they woke up in the same pitch-black void Mar grew familiar to.
“I am the deity of flame, destruction and chaos. You, little human, will be my awakening and release me from my prison.” The god then grabbed the human’s hand and began fusing with him. He screamed, his voice echoing through the void, as his arm burned, then his chest, then his whole body.
He woke up in his bed, screaming, holding his arm in his other hand. It glowed and then blackened, as his wife woke up next to him in their bed and watched as smoke filled the wooden house. Rather quickly it was burned with them, to a crisp, as the man was the only survivor, barely making it out alive and with his consciousness.
Watching his home and family be taken away from him so easily, he swore he would avenge them and rallied his village to his cause. As the fire spread quickly, many lost their everything, and any who survived had no problem believing the failed vessel. They weren’t many, but their cause was just as burning in their hearts as their village was.
Generations pass; they managed to survive through pure hatred towards the God. Experiments taking place in years and decades, passing them down like ceremonies for younger generations to prove their loyalty- until it came to this day, when the first successful vessel came to. Manipulation after manipulation, they found the right people to get to create the perfect vessel without their knowledge. Now they had it, and they were going to replicate and create their own, so they could finally kill the God and take its place.

What the hell… Mar exhaled, after Lilly finished.
“They don’t know about whoever it was that made the Fire God’s prison in the first place. My deity- the God of Water.”
Like Avatar?
“What?”
Never mind.
“My God knows about their failure to keep the Fire God from slipping through and reaching out to humanity in the first place. They want to make it right. And we need you for it. When the time comes, we will make it all right.”
How?
Lilly was silent. “I… don’t know… they didn’t tell me yet. But I trust her- I mean them. They saved my life. But that’s a story for another day.”
Mar tried getting up but almost fell back down if not for Lilly catching her.
Dang, didn’t realize I was so weak…
“Don’t beat yourself up, Mar,” Lilly reassured her, her voice rather calming in mar’s head, “you’ve been through a lot.”
They’re taking as much blood from me as they possibly can without killing me. Which isn’t a lot, considering my size, but… I wonder how long I’ll be able to withstand this.
“I’m here with you. We’ll get through this.”
Thanks. I just wanted to hug you, Lilly, you’re my sanity, after all.
Lilly nodded with a smile. She then looked down on Mar’s cursed arm. Was it just her or... was the scar spreading? No, she thought, I can’t tell her. Her life’s already on thin ice as it is. It’s best if she doesn’t know.

Alone, in the middle of the night, Jake was in his bed reading the giant book James brought him. He couldn’t sleep, as usual, so he used that time to get as much information on the cult as he could. Most of it was in a language he could barely understand, but James also provided means of translating it, so Jake was in deep translating and trying to understand.
He thought about what James told them, the origin of that cult, and what they’re doing to people just to get what they want. He felt even more guilty for letting them take her, now that he knows the extent of their abuse.
“But it’s not your fault, Jake.” He heard Emily say in his head. He knew that. They were watching her all along and would’ve taken her from him even if it would kill him. But he couldn’t help feeling like he could’ve at least been there, protected her somehow, or at least tried. But there was no one, and she was all alone and he was completely oblivious. His guilt was eating him alive, and he was letting it. The only thing he could do now to try and make up for it is saving her.

He woke up in the afternoon, not realizing he fell asleep in the first place. Hungry with pounding head, he debated getting up- does he have enough spoons to make himself breakfast? Was it breakfast at all if it wasn’t morning anymore? Whatever, he wasn’t hungry enough for that. The book was lying on his chest, almost falling to the floor. It was heavy, and made him gasp for air. So he let it fall down. As it fell it opened on a page he was yet to reach as he translated, but something about it caught his eye.
Right in the middle was a painting of silhouette of a person, coated in flames. With no identifying features, it was almost as if it was glowing, and the painting was so vivid it was almost moving like a fire. He then had to read it. This was the deity Mar was talking about, and he could finally hopefully find out more about it. And the more he read, the more he realized why Mar was so afraid of it. She obviously didn’t know everything that was written in this book, though, so she was not nearly as scared as she should have been:
It’s main goal was to destroy everything in the known universe and recreate it all from scratch to it’s liking. That’s why it was sealed away millennia’s ago- to prevent it from killing everyone. The book didn’t mention who sealed them away, but Jake was certain it was someone of equal standing if not more powerful- a human couldn’t possibly imprison a god.
So, Mar was holding in her tiny body the embodiment of evil, and it was only a matter of time before it consumed her and everything around her. That was fucking messed up. Now they had two problems to solve. Who knows what the cult is planning to do with her, whether they plan to harness that power or kill it before it’s too late- either way Mar’s life was in extreme danger.
Headcanon for Aether, since she’s part goat sometimes she gets urges to eat random things like metal cans and candy wrappers and has to remind herself to be normal half the time. Or she just eats them, depending on the mood.
Hcs about my OCs are always appreciated!!!!
okay also canon now
Just imagine, during Aether and James’ wedding aether just stands staring at the cake for twenty minutes until James’ walks up like
James: “uh, hun, what are you doing?”
Aether: “I want to eat the cake topper.”
jame’s: “it’s made out of plastic..??”
Aether: “looks edible.”
