her fingers knit tersely in his hair and defiance - always, always defiance - bubbles back up to the surface, a pride hammered into the edges of her soul. it grips her tightly now, at the edge of the world, and the idea of letting it go is unfathomable.

but so too is dropping her hands, drawing away. she stays there, paralyzed. it's her bag on the floor, but he'll be the one to walk away?

"i just said i want to be a better person." words ushered thinly, lacking gravitas, wobbling at the end because when has she ever known what it means to be better than herself?

"how can i change when i don't know who i am anymore?" a legacy lost, a home uprooted, a family gone. "all i know are absolutes."

there is a mantra shouted on the other side of the reef, louder by the time it reaches its third round, and freya dares a step closer. her dragonair are by her side; aeris' teeth are gentle on her wrist, urging her to keep her distance. but this close, as close as she dares, staring into the needlepoints, elisabeth's back thrown against the other side, she notices something. [break][break]

a whitening. a slow diffusion of color. she blinks twice and takes a step back to make sure she's not just seeing things, but no, she's not. [break][break]

"this barrier can't stand forever," she whispers to herself. even z-moves have their limits. [break][break]

the shriek startles her and she steps back, hand tightening its grip on the hilt of her sword. aeris draws back, at the ready. the rest of her dragons wait for the order from their mistress; if it continues to weaken, they may be able to push through. [break][break]

but...[break][break]

that horrible, awful sound. freya's no bleeding heart, but she knows what it means to be unmade. and this is what stays her hand. [break][break]

this is what weakens her knees, steals the air from her lungs, and brings a frenzied, clawing monster to the surface. porous dirt churns and that barren landscape digs a hole inside of her, excavating her ribs, bones curved around the home she's built for KING WAYLAND. [break][break]

the strong thump-thump-thumping of her heart, ever for him, blood rushing with a love lost, love found for ALEXANDER STONE. the latter, who has shaped her claws for battle and begged her to run from the field. the former, who has kissed her palms amidst her bloodshed and snarled when she denied him his burden to bear.[break][break]

"i don't feel things for people. or, i guess that's not quite right. it takes a lot for me to feel things for people. i can count on one hand those i've ever truly cared about."

[break][break]

it's not my fault. it's not. my. fault.[break][break]

"no," she says, voice a thunderous roar. "i deny you. i will not become you. i will not let him make me."[break][break]

lyune roars and she turns with a start, coming face to face with nostrils curled with smoke, fangs bared. embers lick at his teeth, hot and blue and without prompting, he shoves himself past freya and blasts at the barrier reef.

extraction: alex & miss freya

POSTED ON Oct 9, 2023 3:40:47 GMT

the last of the fusion pokemon left standing is an ugly one. alexei's salamence is brought forth and together kirimu, lathliss, and now gabriel beat back the abomination conjured by the dream mist. poor thing. life short and fearful, burned alive by the fury of three dragons.

"an iron jugulis," she grunts. she'd asked Eva Morales about them some time ago, but had lost interest upon realizing that its futuristic shape was just in likeness to the dragon-type - it did not contain a draconic spirit.

"come on," she urges. the mist thickens and she reaches for her pack. some of the valuables spill out of them and she swears, but she leaves them behind.

they'll be back all too soon.

"not the worst i've seen," she says, the hard edges around her tight-lipped smile loosening in just the slightest. she appreciates the candor, far more than he probably realizes. and it could have stopped there, with the simplicity of just calling her freya, but she chuffs a laugh, leans forward and puts her hands to her temples as though that can knock the rest of the tension headache away.

her shoulders shake and from behind, it might look like she's having an absolute breakdown, but her palms are pressed against her cheeks and she's trying her damnedest to keep her composure right now - maybe it's how exhausted she is or how she really, truly carries the weight of the world on her shoulder for no reason, when there are people like isaac telling her no bullshit, just talk to me.

but she laughs. with tears in her eyes. it's a short, rough sort of laugh, but it's there and when she's looking back up at him her eyes are shining and she's smiling, really smiling.

but that too, has to wane, as indecision rears its ugly head. she still can't trust him.

so she asks the question intended, the one that may hurt more.

"sorry. i'm...sorry about this. i'm going to sound absolutely mad after laughing like that, but i need to know something." a hesitation, all humour gone.

"do you know what happened to Elisabeth Fiorelli?"

the intricacies of freya's need to save fernando are too thickly webbed for her to unravel, nevermind parse for elisabeth. so it's with a silent grimace that she walks back and forth along the wall, trying to put her thoughts together. [break][break]

"maybe it's the thinking part that trips you up."

maybe it is. but when elisabeth deigns to call him the savior, her jaw clenches. she has to remind herself not to rake her hand over the barnacled barrier in frustration, fingers twitching, the ashes over her skin rich with nutrients, sinking into the skin where remnants of that resentment lay. [break][break]

"and did you ever believe in him, elisa? did you believe in our savior?" throat seizing, tongue tying, begging her not to speak it aloud, to bring shame to her flesh and blood and everything she's ever stood for. "did you let him wrong you? use you? obliterate the person you thought you were and allow him to shape you into the person you said i was meant to be?"[break][break]

her lips falter, wobbling, mind catching up with the outpouring of words, too late to block the self-portrait of her confession. [break][break]

memories stir, dredged by the thorns flourishing under the tongue of her own flagellations. [break][break]

"what do you want for, elisa? are you still starving?"

BIRTHRIGHT

she wakes in a cold sweat, sheds sheets and slips bare out of bed, fumbling through belongings, digging and searching while mist leaks from her pores, suspended in that almost-not-nearly-awake state, a metal mirage on her chest, a weight familiar and unfamiliar.

the pendant sits in a chest, is lifted up by shaking hands and into the moonlight, sapphire at its center sparkling blue. a faded memory not her own twists around it, against a backsplash of walls that do not match her own.

her breath catches and fingers go searching, finding only the wispy hairs at the crown of her head, smooth, unblemished skin beneath.

the dream twirls away from her, dwindling with what's left of the moonlight. dawn stretches over the earth and she stands, legs sore after waiting hours for a ritual that would never come. she grits her teeth, stands, and the pendant bites into the soft meat of her palm.

she is more than her scar tissue. [break][break]

lyune's fire sputters as he exhausts his breath, but it catches with another deep inhale and exhale, burning brighter as freya's sygna suit resonates with the sync stone fitted to his own armor. tangled vines wither and curl and her bats burst free from their bonds; indignant screeches bounce off the walls. [break][break]

"After everything he's done ta ye — after what his family has done. Ye go runnin' back?"

[break][break]

her footfalls are swift, but time slows down around her. in elisabeth's eyes, under the stripped-bare layers of resentment lay fear. hesitation. a hand going to her pocket, grasping something, and freya's own hands clenching around the hilt of the shortsword, thinking that if this is her end she can be satisfied knowing she finally ran toward something. [break][break]

and then a flash of an emotion so intimately familiar as the blade is thrust forward. [break][break]

guilt. [break][break]

the sword pierces brown and purple scales, momentum burying her to the hilt. blood pours over her front and smoke bursts in her face, blinding her. deadweight drags her forward as the dragon collapses; her wrist turns, twinges, and she grimaces through the pain, pivoting her shoulders to wrench the blade free of the carcass. [break][break]

ruination snaps dark tendrils at lyune's sides, striking centuries-old wounds. he relives a wing nearly ripped from his body, a year of madness, trapped in a bond warped by anger. [break][break]

freya cries out in fury, raising the blood-slaked blade, but as her judgment comes down, she is swept back. lyune's tail knocks the air out of her as he tosses her away. she tumbles over herself, sword skittering out of reach, as a wall of coral erects where she'd just been standing.[break][break]

the salamence shakes his head and spits embers. draconic energy gathers behind his teeth and he roars as his pulsing flames arc over the barrier. acrid smoke, tinged with a cloying sweetness, that familiar scent of rot, assaults freya's senses. she gathers herself, collects her sword, and orders lyune to stand down. [break][break]

smoke clears and freya is slow to approach the barrier. needle-like barbs, nigh invisible to the eye, cover every inch of the erected wall. [break][break]

"nixal vhira. coi ui weyog," she whispers. lyune bares his fangs, but concedes. [break][break]

elisabeth's voice, softer now, addresses her from the other side. freya's bloodied hand, having drifted up to the z-crystal spun in her braid, pauses. this battle may yet be won without violence.[break][break]

"because it is right."

she'd been honest with him then, over a plate of eggs and bacon he'd cooked for her. honest, in most ways, about the mist, but she hadn't divulged the worst of it. she never told him about the self-degradation, the way she fucking lapped from his hand like an animal.

he'd never look at her the same, if he knew.

she looks over her shoulder and is not prepared to see that the fire has left him. hesitantly, the bag slips from her grasp, hanging from her hand, and then she sets it on the floor.

crosses the short distance back to him and gently, finally, cradles his head in her hands. she stares up at him and says, "i want to be a better person than him. than both of them.

"and i...that could have been me. whatever he's done to elisabeth, she let it warp her." her jaw tightens. "gods, there's so much to this, king, and it's confusing and it's awful and i'm so scared and - " she stops, swallows, smiles tersely.

"and i'm afraid i don't deserve to lean on you."

the truth, stripped of its grandeur. the truth, as selfish as it is. the truth, unimportant. small. that which defines her and makes her every bit a petulant narcissist fernando believes her to be.

"because i need to do something that matters."

and -

"because after all of my failings, i finally have a chance to keep my word."

"but you won't fight for yourself," she starts, but he cuts her off, says to stop. she stares aghast, anguishing. after all of it, all of this, and it is still not enough. even in galar, he told her to stop. even then, he'd given up too.

she stands abruptly and grabs the duffel bag, slings it over her shoulder. stops, shaking.

"i want to be on your side, but i can't change who i am. i can't change what i've done and i can't change what i'm going to do." a hitch of her breath.

tell him.

"elisabeth is going to go after fernando.

"i have to protect him."

nevy and cadmus shriek as they converge. thorns bloody their grasping feet, snarling heads twisting away as the wo-chien bulks itself up with an aggressive defense. always on the defense, covered in brambles and barbs and poisons, masquerading its venom. how much of it is a show?[break][break]

how much of it has grown inward? [break][break]

her accusations burrow under freya's suit and sink into her skin, pricking at hateful, dried tinder. RESENTMENT seeps from the stinging nettles, staining the pink veil a sallow red. hazy memories resurface unbidden, blotted over with sharp splatters. beatings, begged for, by the man she's come to love. by the man who would throw this all away if he knew the extent of her self-hatred. [break][break]

if he knew how much she loathed the man she must save.[break][break]

and then comes the squealing of her dragons. her light does not waver and she knows that now, for the moment, her dragonair are safe, but nevy and cadmus are strangled, wings splayed and stretched taut in a macabre display of violence. [break][break]

anger sweeps over her like wildfire, burning away the wo-chien's fever, and lyune's massive shape lurches overhead. liquid fire spills from his maw and instantly, the dragons and their bonds are alight. it bathes them all in an orange glow. [break][break]

golden eyes shift with a cruel realization.[break][break]

FERNANDO SILPH has forsaken her in every sense of the word. he has done more than torment you. even now? even still. she has fought allegations of treason with a bitter malice, but to divulge the intimacy of her failings to this woman. to what end will he go to see her struck down?[break][break]

the bow in her hand snaps. fingers twirl and gravel crunches as she darts forward. leaves fold over and the tips of the bow meet in one deadly point, snicking together to form a shortsword the length of her forearm. [break][break]

"i'm not doing this for him," she snarls as she closes the distance.

and why?

because she can't trust him? no, because -

her brows furrow.
