Hearts on the line private w/ themooshroomprincess
Once upon a time there was a boy and a girl in a land of magic and monsters
It started as any fairy tale should but unfortunately this one doesnât get a happy ending
"Gosh, I better not start talking to myself again" The girl mumbled to herself whilst walking down the white halls. Her appearance had changed since they separated, for example just about all the time she would be wearing a rainbow lab coat, white being far too boring in her opinion, Her hair was now held in a bun instead of a ponytail but her under clothes mainly stayed the same.Â
There were many, many moments when she thought about before, she thinks about Rythian and how heâs doing, she wonders about what could have been if she hadnât of screwed up as much as she did.
Once she finished building a simple ore processing line up and then the computers she wanted Zoeya abandoned science for a bit and decided she wanted to try magic. It turned less from âletâs learn magicâ and more to âletâs put the magic in jars and then figure it outâ It seemed to be going well enough that was until she went out on another adventure for magical things and found something that she shouldnât have messed with.
A biome covered in a thick purple goo, from the tops of trees to the deepest holes. The slime formed pillars that seemed to be everywhere in the forest. Very carefully, to make sure she didnât get some on herself, she put some of the purple flux in a jar. Zoeya wanted to get out of the tainted woods as soon as possible, it gave her a bad feeling, a feeling she was correct to have as a taint swarm attacked her.
During her flurry of attack to try and get the swarm to disappear but to no avail instead she ended up falling backwards into the purple goo, she yelped scrambling to get up before whatever this ooze was could stick onto her. After what felt like a near death experience she got home from her adventure with a unfortunately small sample of flux.
It was quite a large amount of time before she discovered the aftermath of her little adventure. The purple flux, as she learned it was called, had crawled onto her back when she fell and had been making it way up her body since, already claiming almost all of her back and growing dangerously close to her neck, she knew she had to find a way to stop it before it got any worse.
Unfortunately the technomage was never know for her magic skills and had to search for help from other, the first she went to was Lalna since he knew magic but he seemed to have no answers and after him there wasnât many she trusted, why she enjoyed the dwarfâs and the spacemanâs company they didnât know anything about magic and Sjin she never trusted. So as the redhead began to narrow down the people in the world it left her with one, her former mentor and partner who she betrayed. It was going to be an awkward reunion.
Zoeya stood at the entrance to her old home, she pulled her cape up to try and hide the purple spirals wrapping around her neck, taking a deep breath she knocked on the door while praying for no answer. She didnât want it to come down to this but in the end this taint was spreading faster then she could do research, she needed help and he was the only person she could think of.
She had left. Stepping out t he door without looking back, and Rythian had never been able to make himself go after her. He didn't deserve her by his side. Besides it didn't matter in the end. Zoeya had been a distraction at best, a hindrance at worst. He had matters to attend to, a purpose. He couldn't spend his days playing house with a crazy girl and her dino companion.
Time was not kind to the lone mage. Unable to move forward from the past he continued to live in blackrock. His home becoming his prison. Steadily avoiding any room save the library and the magic room Rythian became more a ghost haunting his home then someone living.
Days became night and sleep was forgotten in favor of work, feeding on his magic to over look the trivial things such as rest and food. They were things that Zoeya had always insisted on, but really they were just distractions.
Rythian was starting to realize how many distractions he could live without.
The skills he was learning, the abilities he was unlocking, he was ascending past where anyone had before. Carefully crafting his skills, making sure to avoid anything that could backfire on him. Rythian had the power he had always craved. He was untouchable in this world, and yet he had nothing to do.
With all his powers and might he had still lost the one thing he needed, he was wandering lost without her guidance. Still he convinced himself it was for the best. She would always betray him in the end. The tantalizing call of science had become her siren song, and he wasn't able to bring her back.
So he continued his decent, the prison he found himself unable to leave, unable to forget, slowly breaking apart around him. Spiders  moved up from Zoeya's labs and the vines crawled over the towers.
He was so focused on his work he barely heard the knock at the door. His bloodshot eyes casting over towards the sound before grumbling. "Teep I swear if that is you again. I have told you a million times." He was growling as he ripped open the iron set door that barely moved on its hinges anymore.
What he saw on the other side of that door though was the last thing that Rythian had ever expected. ". . . .Zoeya?"
