[spoiler] Hello again! Back with another one. I was inspired by how shadowheartmc would use exotic lore entries to create more story, along with the hawkmoon lore n a few joke posts about ships, but I was inspired to actually get it written by all the variks related posts that came up today, was gonna save it for valentines day, but I though wth, so here it is. Srry for any mistakes as usual, n if u have a suggestion for the exotic name i'm all ears, but if u need to know what the exotic does before hand just ask. [/spoiler] [i]"If we dwell in the past, we never can grow to our fullest potential as people"[/i] - Drago, young wolf Drago sits in front of the fire, while crow is dancing about to her right. She stares into its depths, a similar fire flickering alive in her soul, against her resistance to it. [i]"What is this feeling?" [/i]She questions herself [i]"I did not ask for it. I do understand it, but I do not want it..." [/i]She pleads to herself Her hands knit into fists on her knees and her faces shifts into a scowl. She keeps staring at the fire, as if it was to blame. Her reason and desire keep conflicting, throwing her into a trance of sorts. "Crow, please show some restraint!" Comes from glint, breaking her trance. She looks over and sees crow taking a sip of wine that she brought out or her ship to celebrate. They make eye contact for a split second, and that is all that is needed to stir the fire more, and send her cheeks ablazes with a deeper shade of purple compared to ger skin. Luckily for her glint caught crow's attention before he could see this. "Don't you think so to, Drago? Dusk" Glint looked at them pleadingly "I don't give two shits what your guardian does, as long as they don't kill me with a way-ward golden gun shot" Dusk said appearing out of air over Drago's shoulder. Having calmed herself down, Drago glance at the three, before saying with a smirk "If dusk doesn't, I don't mind at all either" "That's the spirit!" Crow says raising the wine bottle in the air, and half stumbling over to put his hand on her shoulder. The sight made her laugh, despite her sour mood, which caused crow to drunkingly laugh. He took another swig, before offering it to her. She was hesitant at first, of which crow took notice "come on, I can't be the only one in high spirits here" he said Drago was still hesitant, but after a few glances of his golden eyes, those pools of liquid ember, threatening to pull her deeper into their depths. Her resolve wavered and finally she gave in. "your right, this is a celebration afterall..." She said taking the bottle "Ok! Now i'm intervening, you shouldn't be drinking drago" Dusk said floating between the two "oh now you agree!" Glint says rolling his blue eye "trust me, crow drunk? Sure. Drago drunk? things are going to go bad" Dusk said looking at glint, before turning back to drago taking a litgle chug. "Drago!" Dusk said half worryingly and half furious "relax a little, it's only a drink, it's a celebration, it's fine" she said with a amussed smile as she passed the bottle back to crow Dusk grunted before floating off twoards glint "more like a funeral..." The ghost mumbled as he passed glint "wait-what!?" Glint asked paniked as he followed behind Crow and drago sat down on the log near the fire, they conginue trading the posion between themselves. Drago has the bottle now, it's her fifth, maybe sixth drink, her cheeks burn again, but she knows it is more of the alcohol's fault then the fire's fault. She's once again staring at it. [i]"Why this feeling?"[/i] She asks herself [i]"I did not ask for it, I do not want it..." [/i]She pleads to herself again She takes a much long chug of the wine, hoping to drown the fire out. [i]*spongebob character voice*A few hours later.....[/i] Drago is still sitting down by the fire, but as moved to a rock after the two drunkingly used the log they were sitting on before as fire wood. She watches as Crow dances around, making a gun shape with his hand, while swinging the nearly empty bottle of wine around in the other like a Sword. Despite watchihg him, she is deep in thought [i]"He isn't uldren, you know this" "but he was him, could still be him" "But he is one of us now" "That wouldn't stop him" "he doesn't remember who he was, he is someone new, he is crow, not uldren" "he was evil! he did bad things! He took him away from us!" "then you hate banshee as well?!" "no! He is a friend" "But their in the same boat"[/i] The realization shocks her for a second, she feels ashamed by the thought, she stares at the fire again [i]"Why this feeling?"[/i] She asks herself for the final time [i]"I do not want it..." [/i]She pleads to herself for the final time [i]*spongebob character voice*A few more hours later.....[/i] The fire has nearly died. Crow fell over and cannot stand, though he keeps insisting he is fine. Drago is sitting on a rock nearby him, turning the embers of the fire with the tip of her Sword. The Ghosts are talking to one another in quiet conspiracy. The celebration has ended. Drago is lost in her own mind, but she has come to a conclusion. [i]"I know this feeling.." [/i]she tells herself [i]"I do not want it...But yet I want relief...I want peace...I want to move on...Finally" [/i]She continues and finishes She looks at crow, still chuckling on the ground, her cheeks burn with posion, her thoughts murky but clear all the same. She gets up, and walks over to crow, leaning down to meet eye to eye with him. He sits there smiling, amused, but theres tension in it. [i]"he is not uldren anymore...he is crow now...he is my crow.." [/i]She thought as she put her hand on his cheek She leans in, and their lips connect. Crow is suprised at first, but then puts a hand in drago's hair as she puts her arms around his shoulder, she leans into him, laying them both down as the last bits of the fire died out, leaving them in the light of the moon. [i]*spongebob character voice*Meanwhile...[/i] Glint and dusk arr floating a foot or two from the two, watching the whole thing. "wha-what are they doing?!" Glint asks confused, before seeing dusk's shells rotating "Are-are you recording this?" He asks dusk "-blam!- yeah, this is the only action she's seen since the old tower! Just sit back and enjoy the show rookie." Dusk said continuing to record the exotic scene. [spoiler] in conclusion, we now know ghosts n savathun have watching kinks 🤣🤣🤣[/spoiler]
