Right by the Willow...Song: The Willow Maid
A young man walked through the forest With his quiver and hunting bow He heard a young girl singing And followed the sound below There he found the maiden Who lives in the willow He called to her as she listened From a ring of toadstools, red Come with me my maiden Come from thy willow bed She looked at him serenely And only shook her head See me now, a ray of light in the moon dance See me now, I cannot leave this place Hear me now, a strain of song in the forest Don't ask me to follow where you lead
Once, when Silus was a young man in his trainee days, he stumbled upon you under your willow tree as you sang to your heart's content, only to interrupt you
As you listened to his proposal, you could only gaze upon the young human and refuse him. With a song, you tell him you won't leave this place. You disappeared from his sight as his comrades found him to return to their camp, leaving him with no proof of your existence. You are simply a child born out of a human and a dryad, you feel more at ease helping and protecting the flora and fauna that covers your ancient father below...
A young man walked through the forest With a flower and coat of green His love was like fire Her eyes have a wonderful sheen She wrapped herself in beauty So young and so serene He stood there under the willow And he gave her the yellow bloom Girl, my heart you've captured Oh, I would be your groom She said she'd wed him never Not near, nor far, nor soon See me now, a ray of light in the moon dance See me now, I cannot leave this place Hear me now, a strain of song in the forest Don't ask me to follow where you lead
Silus found you again. After he found the existence of Cybertronians, but now older and a proud member of the special operations of the United States, he found you again in a different forest, on top of a willow tree. Still, he held a yellow rose for you...you haven't aged since he saw you so many years ago
He hasn't forgotten you, he didn't think you would be true...he once again proposed to you after all, you shall be his bride, only for your calm gaze to land on him and proceed to shake your head, you sing to him confirming to him you will not leave your home...and trying to let him down gently but more firmly, its not that you dont want romance...you just dont fancy him...who the hell proposes to someone they just met?...
You simply leave him and proceed to eavesdrop on the wildlife and...the new beings who laid their feet on the land, the ones made of metal...
An old man walked through the forest With an axe sharp as a knife I'll take the fairy And she shall be my wife With her, I'll raise my children With her, I'll live my life The maiden wept when she heard him When he said he'd set her free He took his axe and tried to use it To bring down her ancient tree If your willow falls You would belong to me
Breakdown is outside the nemesis, away from everything he just needs...quiet sometimes. He looks at his reflection on the riverside, his eyepatch a reminder of what that monster did to him. Knock out try as he might tries to be there for him, but he doesn't understand to have those eyes on him...having him TOUCH you with so much vile and greed for what you are
He felt defiled, he WAS defiled, and he sometimes wonders when it will all stop, this war, and how the decepticons didn't save him...but Bulkhead did his sworn enemy once brother is arms in wrecker code
Breakdown hea felt like it was going to explode till he heard someone sing, it wasnt a type of melody he ever heard before and followed ...but he soon wish he didnt seeing a human helping one those furry things that resemble turbo fox, he is expecting you to kill the trapped thing but all you do is sing to it an unhook its paw from the trap, it seems to nuzzle to you and lick your hand
He watches as you put some...wax?thing into its wounded leg and tell it not to lick it off as it's a healing salve, he watches you stand up and glance at him, making him stumble when you smile at him and proceed to walk away, leaving him at peace...
It's like you knew something about him, that gaze that fell upon him held something, he discreetly followed you, Huh...suddenly all these tree branches aren't touching him or scratching him, and they seem to let him walk tall...the tree has gotten bigger, it seems, but it could be his optic playing tricks on him
You weren't at all surprised to find him there; he was one of the poor Cybertronians who befell that man clutches from what the trees tell you. You take him to scenic routes to show him the wonders of earth...a place he could be himself and rest his mind at ease, and by his body language, it seems to be working...
He knew you were leading him places that hold a beauty he had never seen before...so much organic life surrounds him, and yet he doesn't feel anxious or threatened, he feels welcomed and praised by his uniqueness...maybe he could bring Knock out here
You smile brighter at him and chuckle when he notices you staring at him, amused, only to look horrified as you hear the whispers of the tree warning you of him, that man holding an axe towards your tree...you run and run to stop him before it's too late, making the giant follow you
Breakdown watches from the shadow as Silus, holding an axe, tells you you will be his "bride" and you will bear his "children"? Whatever that is you don't seem to reciprocate...he saw you reject him, telling him you would never be his nor bear his children, that you won't bow down to a man who lost his humanity
He saw Silus about to attack the tree your clinging into and something snapped inside him seeing you so afraid like him, he came running out the shadows and slapped silus away from you and the tree, sending him flying accross the field till his back hit a tree trunk, knocking him out, Breakdown took the axe and CRUSHED it in his servos, he picked silus body, ready to throw him but he felt your hand on his pede
Y/n: Wait, don't-
Breakdown: You are a fool for granting him mercy-
Y/n*Blinks and laughs*Mercy?...no, I think you had your fill with that slap. I think I deserved to hit him too...hand him to me, it's time I sent this man away for GOOD
See me now (see me now, see me now) a ray of light in the moon dance See me now (see me now, see me now) I cannot leave this place Hear me now (hear me now, hear me now) a ray of light in the moon dance Don't ask me (don't ask me) to follow where you lead She didn't follow him out of the forest And he collapsed upon the earth Her feet had walked but a distance In the green land of her birth She handed over a flower That would bloom for one bright eve He could not take from the forest What was never meant to leave
Breakdown saw vines sprouting from beneath the earth and transformed themselves into a giant servo, ready to FLICK Silus away like a BUG. He simply smirked and held him ready and was ...more than happy seeing that glitch fly off. He then felt his intake stutter as you are now standing on top of the servo made of vines
Y/n*You lean to lay a peck on his cheek, feeling his metal go from cold to warm as he realized what you did, laughing, seeing him stumble and land on his butt*My hero~, Here...I shall give you this for the help you just gifted me...that man has been harassing me for 20 human years...
You handed him a seed, not just any seed...a seed connected to your tree for him to call upon you as you explained, you will help him if he ever needs it...
Breakdown*Seeing the tiny seed in his servo and your calm touch as you close his servos*H-.. I'm a hero?
Correcting the ending of the song...the willow maid got saved, and a certain wrecker scored the love of a half-blood dryad
Unicron*Looking at his daughter* I can't believe you're getting so worked up about some ...GUY!
Y/n: This one is different, He's honest, and-and he's sweet-
Unicron*rolls his optics* Please!
Y/n: He would never do anything to hurt me!
Unicron: He's a guy!
