Mr. Misting he/him Posted December 1, 2022 Report Share Posted December 1, 2022 Just now, Ookla the Crow said: Hyron placed a hand on Miyako's shoulder, turning her to face them. "Mi-" Hyron caught themselves before saying Miyako's name, then took a deep breath. "Think about it. If we take them out now, the Queen will know we're coming. Better to at least think she doesn't know." "We have a chance here. If we kill them and get to the castle, she will be expecting a us to be calmly walking over, taking our time and such. That's our window. Strike when she thinks she is safe. Attack where they ain't looking." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should at least find out. Don't let the thrill of the fight overtake you like a thorned vine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've fought for my life for years and lived fine without you!" Miyako raised her sword but paused, and lowered it again. She shook her head and screamed, stomping away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medium he/they Posted December 1, 2022 Report Share Posted December 1, 2022 Hyron stood there, fuming. Then they did something very unexpected, irrational, and stupid.

Miyako was spun around but before she could stab however it was, Hyron was kissing her. She stood there fuming, wanted to both melt into them and stab them. She went with what she knew best. Miyako punched Hyron across the face and after stepping back she launched a kick into his side. Her face was red with rampant emotions. She breathed hard, lips tingling from his kiss. Tides. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote I'm very good at responding unexpectedly :] Also, remember, Hyron is mostly feminine, but doesn't like gendered pronouns. (or gender) Hyron crumpled, breathing hard, face gleaming with a furious blush. Eh, you deserved that, they thought to themselves. They grinned, despite themselves, and looked up. "You don't get it," They wheezed, "You don't get it. You need to get it, but you don't." They struggled to stand, but eventually stood. "I've known you not that long, and already I'm... feeling something for you." They said, and reached out to touch Miyako's cheek, then recoiled at her glare. "But," They wheezed, Breathing out to help numb her bruises, "I don't know about you. And you're an idiot. And you do stupid stuff. But this," Hyron said, gesturing to Miyako, "This will get you killed. And Stalks, but I won't be able to live with that." Hyron sat back down, breathing heavily. They Breathed onto their hands and spread it across their face, helping take the sting away from Miyako's punch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm trying to do better, but my mental picture of Hyron is making that hard. Also speaking of responding unexpectedly.....Miyako is about to make some very poor choices. Miyako is not the most emotionally stable Miyako stumbled back as if hit. She fell back, head awhirl with to many emotions to count. Hyron.. did they... what?! Miyako gasped, drawing in deep breaths of air, trying to calm the storm in her mind. She stared towards Hyron, blood pounding in her ears. She screamed again, grounding her palms into her forehead, blocking out what they had just said. Everything that was happening. A distant buzzing registered as the Queen's men talking. Miyako just wanted all of it to go away. A distant thumping whispered at the edge of Miyako's mind; a second heart beating in time with her own. She had kept it locked away, smothering out it's corrosive calls. Blocking out the alluring call to let it all go. She had seen what it could do. What it had done to her. She had made a promise, a vow of blood and tears against it. But, all Miyako saw was light in her Shadow. The void was better then the hurt she now felt. With both arms outstretched Miyako reached out for the Shadow. A cold wind blew through Miyako, washing away all the foolish emotions that had been screaming inside her head. All was quiet. Miyako picked up her hat and stood, slipping the hat back on. Wisps of darkness began to roll off of Miyako, dissipating in the air. A mantle of gloom and death hung over Miyako like a silent shroud. Her eyes where as endless pits of night, nightmares come out for blood. Miyako raised her sword high, pointing it towards the Queen's men. All was simple now, clean cut as it should be. It was all so clear. Miyako stood like a statue. "The Queen is denied." She opened her waterskin and a stream of water slid out, circling Miyako. In a storm of liquid steel, Miyako struck.

Quote Oh, I will. In the blink of an eye, the white-and-gold clothing of the soldiers melted and shifted, transforming into gleaming armor. With calm fury they stepped towards Miyako, moving to surround her with their swords. The man who had spoken - the one Miyako had lunged at - drew his sword and effortlessly parried Miyako's thrust in a single fluid movement. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Misting he/him Posted December 1, 2022 Report Share Posted December 1, 2022 (edited) Quote Oh also: while the Shadow enhances Miyako's reflexes, strength, speed, etc, it's main use is draining magic. In a blink Miyako struck again at the man, while her stream, a concentrated arrow of water, shot at his head.

The man stood back up, panting, eyes seething with anger. "You dare-" he spat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
