“I am greatly insulted that you have decided that the surviving Lunari is nothing but a mockery. Rather a displeasing thing to hear considering I’d have thought you’d be happier rather than be mocked. Overwhelmed and disbelief, sure but mocked? Did you prefer that you all died out then? Is that what you wanted?” Althea scowled at that, now crossing her arms as she turned back to the village. She was rather proud of these few people that were able to survive in Mount Targon albeit being hunted down endlessly by the Solari. This was a life that nobody should live yet here they were, loyal to the silver light of the Moon no matter the cost.

If only she could do more for them…

Alas, her abilities were limited. So it was greatly upsetting that this specter had looked down at her own people. She was used to being spat on and condemned but the Lunari did not deserve that.

Althea then straightened up before looking back down at Cyllene. “I will not answer that question. Not when you feel mocked that some Lunari has survived and some are willing to worship the Moon and how you are very volatile with your reactions. I suppose I am only glad that you did not lash out even now at the end.” A sigh as the woman pursed her lips.

[theghostofthelunari]

Cyllene stopped and turned around to look at Althea.Something about this settlement just makes her unhappy every. It’s all wrong to her. It’s not the same to her. It’s all different. Different people, everything is different. To her. it’s a mockery.

“I’m not saying they shouldn’t have lived. Whether they are real or not, I cannot feel any different than what I said earlier.” she turns her body, “I don’t think I can even feel anything else about it...”

A ghost from another time, that saw her people die, only to be awaken to see this.

“I am not of this time. I do not belong here...” she whispers like a proper ghost.

“That’s fine.” Althea was quick to say as she kept her eyes on the small settlement not far from them. “I do not expect you to accept and believe it all even after you’ve seen it.” A pause, “But at least you have seen it with your own eyes and I think that’s what matters most. To know that once you have calmed down that there is a home for you to return to should you wish to.”

The Captain was then quiet as she pondered, exhausted completely and would have most likely passed out if not for the fact that she felt responsible for Cyllene even if the specter did attempt to kill her a few days ago.

“There’s a small abandoned Lunari temple not far from here. Much closer than the one you were before and because of fear, many of the Lunari are against traveling to the place… or anywhere really.” She then finally turned to look at the other, tilting her head to the side.

“If you want, you can stay there. Far enough from us but still close enough should you wish to take a peek and visit.”

[theghostofthelunari]

The chains stabs the ground one last time. Lifting her head up to look up at Althea, saying, “It hurts me being here. I only see it as a poor mockery...” she looks down and drags her body up and off the ground. “I feel insulted.”

She cast one look over at the tiny settlement, then back and away she looks towards the exit before stopping. “You said something about them liking me more than you. What do you?”

“I don’t think you died for nothing. Nobody dies for nothing.” Althea stated, looking down at the other as she pursed her lips. She then placed both her hands behind her back, staring straight ahead to give the other privacy in her woes. She waited for a few more moments, allowing the spirit to let out her ghostly wails and shrieks.

“You did your best. I would have done the same thing if I were in your position. You fought hard and sought help but the mountains of Targon have never been merciful no matter the situation… Only the Celestials decide who they want to grant their boon to.”

Althea straightened her back and tilted her head to the ceiling where the Moon peeked at their humble abode. “I am sorry that your immediate family isn’t here… However, the Lunari is here and I am certain they would prefer to have you around than me. Maybe the light of Her Moon gave you this chance… to help Her children… To assist and guide the few ones that are left.”

“I’d like to think that it’s that.”

[theghostofthelunari]

“I can’t, I cannot.” she struggles to make words as her body curls up more, “I cannot stay or be with them...” she cries, and her chains stabs the ground out of frustration. Until her body goes limp and melts without melting. 

“I cannot stay with them...” she said with her face full of ground and whatever was under her. “I am a danger, I do not see them as real... not even you.”

“How many times do I have to keep telling you? I do not need you to trust me. I just needed you to listen and show you.” Althea said, letting out an exasperated sigh. She had the patience of a Saint but there were times where the woman would find herself getting exasperated by the accusations thrown at her. She doesn’t blame them but it’s still disheartening that nobody could accept her but the Aspect–even if the Aspect technically didn’t trust her the first time as well but gave her enough time to prove things to her and to continue to do so.

Soon, they finally emerged out in a clearing. The Moon bathed them with Her gentle light as the warrior continued forward. They still seemed to be within the cave but there were many holes up above to light up their path and for the Lunari to worship the Moon.

Althea then stopped by a boulder and climbed it, giving a rather fair view of the place. Inside were small houses carved into the walls around them, a few people could be seen being busy with their daily life. They all wore the colors of the Lunari and they didn’t seem to notice the Captain at all.

“Come out and look. We are not much but these are the Lunari that have hidden for centuries from the Sun.” She was right, right now there were only 3 out and about and one seemed to be a Scout that was playing with a wolf. The rest? Most likely in their homes or the temple, praying to Her silver light.

[theghostofthelunari]

She begrudgingly peeked out of the bag to see the people. Once she saw them, her mind froze and everything was still for the ghost. Whether it was a good thing or not is unknown, but right now..

Her pale eyes were wide and she forced herself out of the bag, like a cat trying to wiggle out of their cat-burrito cage. “Impossible...” her voice wisped. The ghost eventually got out of the bag, but also slammed her face on the boulder under them as she did.

Getting up she was still shock and awe over it. But like a very old grandparent she can’t accept it. “No... it’s not real. It’s a ploy, or it’s just a- a fake a fanatic trying to play with me...” she clutched her head, unsure how to process this information in front of her.

Everything was beautiful. “Why. Why, why.” she clutches her hair and crouch down, “Impossible... I died on the summit for nothing... I could have been with them, I could have died a normal death...” she started to mumble nonsense of what-if’s. 

Cyllene would start cry silently or in ghost terms silently is a loud wailing shriek that a few would hear if they were close enough... like Althea.

“I see no reason why I would need to capture you. If anything, it would have been safer if I had attempted to kill you… yet here we are.” Althea said as she moved faster now that there was the gentle glow of light surrounding them. She was exhausted, her fight with the thing draining her completely especially after using her taint and not to mention having to travel continuously without rest. It as a wonder she hasn’t dropped dead yet.

“And you also speak as if you didn’t know that the Lunari is an underground Sect.” Aside from their voices and the soft taps of her boots against the stone floor, there was nothing but eerie silence in the cave, the Captain having the path memorized completely at this point. There was a time in the past when she got lost in the maze and the Lunari completely fine in her disappearing but thankfully, she was lucky enough to found the right path.

“We’re almost there.” continued Althea as she finally felt the wind against her skin.

[theghostofthelunari]

“I have been dead for who knows how long. Memory fades if you manage to live that long.” she hisses again, “all i remember is running outside, my sister being an ass,  and that day we all died.” she sighs making more of a mess of the poor bag. 

“Even if you are speaking the truth, I do not trust you.... you have a disgusting scent on you...”

Althea was quiet on the way back to the temple where the remaining if not hiding Lunari decided to settle in. Unfortunately, it took time for her to return as she had to descend the mountain which included several hours if not an entire night and a day to reach their destination.

It was a crack on the wall that nobody would really take notice but if one were to view it from above, they would realize that it could go deeper than expected. Althea, after looking around the area for any unwanted guests, pushed herself inside the cave.

With one hand on the cold stone wall, she started to walk in complete darkness. There were many twists and turns in the maze, most becoming lost if they didn’t know about the path as she continued on in silence, occasionally hearing the sound of water dripping. Then, they were finally nearing the exit as several soft glowing lights could be seen on the ceilings and wall. Gentle guidance from the creatures that live within the cavern as the Captain kept walking.

“Are you still there? We are nearing the village now…”

[theghostofthelunari]

The glob hissed a tired and exhausted hiss. Waking up now feeling a bit less tired, but still extremely tired, she says, “If this is a ploy for you to trick me and capture me, I’ll take you down with me...” she mutters as she peeps her head out of the bag, or at least a tiny version of her head.

Everything was dark. She can’t see anything. “All the more suspicious taking a dark cavern.” her voice was cold and chill possibly giving Althea a cold chill. Like how ghosts do.

I deleted my Ahri blog so here is how I feel about Annie’s Anniversary Skin.

If there was someone that decided to put jelly in blood, Cyllene’s form would be that except it was surprisingly cold. Thankfully, Althea didn’t have to keep holding the other as she placed the… thing into her bag. With the ghost finally giving up, the Captain started to retrieve bandages from her other packs to wrap it around her still bleeding arm.

What are you doing? It’s just right there. It’s not moving. You can kill it. After all–How dare it taint the temple? Down with all the heretics! We must kill them all for not respecting the Moon!

She continued to hear voices in her head, gritting at how it reminded her a lot of the Solari. Was that simply her consciousness telling her things? Was Althea really that brainwashed that she’s thinking of the Lunari’s teachings in the ways of the Solari? No. No! She wasn’t that at all!

With her wound finally bandaged, the woman proceeded to exit the place, not eager to climb higher with such thoughts plaguing her head.

“I am guessing that you do not wish to talk because you still do not believe me?”

[theghostofthelunari]

An assortment of loud bubbling and hissing escapes the blobs goo, and out of the bag she was most certainly ruining the bag. Ectoplasm is a very difficult thing to get off.

Cyllene did not make a noise for the rest of the way, she was too tired and just wanted to take a nap. The ghost thinks on any possibility of what Althea could be saying the truth. No she can’t believe any of that, yet. 

[lunarilibration]

[lunarilibration]

Althea watched, pulling her hand away as the spirit turned into this goo like substance. What was she supposed to do now? How was she supposed to carry this thing? Surely she can’t just pick her up and put her in her bag?… What about the flask…?

“You do not need to believe me. You just have to see it for yourself.” Althea stayed squatting, her free hand finally grasping her bleeding right arm as she took deep breaths. She had no idea how to stop this thing from being what it is. Usually, she only needed to let it bleed and rest but with this new task at hand, she needed to return back home to bring a Lunari back… well, back to her home where she belonged.

Refusing to hold the other with her right hand, knowing full well that she had no complete control of it, the Captain pushed herself to stand and started to empty one of her bags, trying to see if this… goo… this… goo Lunari wouldn’t fight against it.

“I’ll take you home.” whispered Althea as sweat dripped down the side of her face, ignoring the pain that came to her right arm then. No. Mind over matter. She was going to ignore that it exists.

[theghostofthelunari]

The goo just sat there, looking at Althea tiredly watching and waiting. Cyllene did have nothing to lose, everything was lost to her when she died. Rejected, lost, and full of anger and pain, she has a chance to lash out more but she couldn’t. Maybe if the new Aspect came a few centuries or so earlier, the glob might have reacted differently.

But now she just sits there waiting to be scooped up like melted ice cream and placed into the bag.

Once Althea were to touch the bloby glob. She would noticed that Cyllene felt exactly like melted ice cream, but more cold and not edible, and has a high chance of giving whomever touches her frostbite if they hold her for too long.

“You do not need to trust me but like I said, you will lose nothing in listening to me. If I’m wrong then you can kill me as you wish but if I’m right, then you can have what little family the Lunari has at the moment no matter how small we are in this merciless world.”

Althea would attempt to loosen her hold on the other, hoping that this woman–spirit? Yes, spirit–would not lash and attack her once more. She disliked her for being blasphemous to the sacred lands but she was giving her an exception as she had no idea how it was being an angry spirit for many years.

“I came here because I wanted to discover the abandoned Lunari temples. To find safe passage to those willing to sing the hymn of the Moon in the many sides of the mountain. I sought to unearth and discover everything that those warriors of gold have forced to hide from the world.”

She took a deep breath, way of the woman before her. “… The Aspect of the Moon has returned and thus the Moon worshipers have become hopeful.”

[theghostofthelunari]

Aspect, the word echos in her ghostly mind. The expression that was hidden under Althea’s pinning hand. turn sadder. Was it form a light of hope, or something else.

“Impossible... why now...” her voice was wispy and more easily understandable. “Why did the Aspect not return sooner, Why did the gods not blessed me with the power...” her voice turns quiet as she started to mumble.

Exhausted and out of breath she closes her eyes. “I cannot believe you...” she said as she slowly turns into a glob of ectoplasm, resting. And being a glob. Easily portable.

[lunarilibration]

“Lunari are so pretty… and dangerous. All of them are dangerous like really dangerous! But… they’re still quite gorgeous.”

APHASIA

(sung to the tune of “Disturbia” by Rhianna)

[theghostofthelunari]

How does one hate the Solari? I need a ten step training guide.

1. They’re nerds and they smell.

2. They’re losers because they can’t handle the sun being a shite god, so they killed their competition like weenies.

3. The Sun sucks. Have you not heard of Azir? 

The training guide.

Step 1: Tell them they’re nerds and they smell like Lulu’s expired cupcakes.

Step 2: T-pose in front of their house at night, or if it’s a relative, T-pose in around their bed or outside of their room while they sleep at night. If they work at night just T-pose in a corner somewhere so when they come home they’ll be scared. Must assert dominance.

Step 3: Travel around the world telling people the moon is better than the sun, maybe even in the Void.

Step 4-9: ?????

Step 10: Profit.

“Then you are free to kill me if I am wrong! However, because you have no proof of your claim then there is no reason for you to decide if I am lying or not here and now! What else would you lose if you will allow me to guide you back to the village?”

Althea kept her hand on top of the creature’s head, glad that it wasn’t really moving much at all–well, it was but it wasn’t turning into the goo like substance it was doing prior.

Well, the Captain supposed that it was a she upon closer inspection.

“Think about it! You lose nothing for believing me briefly as I guide you back! But you gain so much more–SO MUCH MORE if you realized that I am speaking the truth and only the truth!” She started to barter with the other, hoping that it wasn’t too late for her to listen to reason. Hoping that she didn’t need to continue using whatever it was on her arm, not really enjoying the headache she was getting every time she did.

“I am sorry to hear about you being denied. That must have broken your heart completely and I would have been inconsolable but please… please listen to me as I wish for nothing but for you to see the truth.”

[theghostofthelunari]

Another hiss escapes the ghost, “I do not trust you, I do not plan to ever trust you. WHat if I do follow you and there is nothing left, and you’re just here to eliminate whatever remains of the Lunari. I do not trust you, and I don’t intend too.” 

“Why else anyone would come here in the first place after how many centuries?” she started to gasp her voice started to gurgle as black liquid seeps out of her mouth. Her eyes and distorted face started to turn to back to it’s original state. Pale skin, eyes so white you can barely see her irises, hair, dark and dull blue. Her face, angry and sad.

“I’ll lose everything. The remains of my home....” she started to mumble.
