#Jaguar I-PACE Black

[snippychicke]

Hello! I was wondering since Kuro is said to become more bloodthirsty when a crescent moon is present do you think this would affect his relationship with a s/o in anyway?

I really love that odd little fact about him! Thank you for the prompt

Obviously a bit dark under the cut, verging on nsfw and all

~*~

You had heard of the moon affecting things other than the tides of the seas. How everyone seemed to have superstitions surrounding the full moon-how it made people act crazier, or how both women and livestock were more likely to give birth on the full moon. There were even a few for the new moon as well, but not really the crescent moon.

But it was the sickle-shaped phase that you knew was the most dangerous.

Without fail, you could tell Kuro's mood by the moon and vice versa. Whether it was waxing or waning, you could tell Kuro's temper shortened and that lust for violence grew.

Usually Kuro was soft with you, indulging you with soft kisses and fleeting touches as you both embraced a life away from the high seas. Mundane but wonderful.

But every few weeks the ex-captain's blood began to boil, and it was like having a jaguar locked in a cage, pacing back and forth and just looking for a reason to bury its teeth and claws into something. You didn't fear for your life, but there were times you stepped into the role of mediator because you feared for someone else's.

Granted, you still would end up bruised and a little bloodied as that energy was directed into other activities. Bloodlust would become pure lust wrapped in a violent package. It wasn't sex, and definitely not lovemaking. It was harsh, primal fucks against any surface to would handle you both. Fingers digging into your hips and tighs enough to bruise. Kisses with scraping and nipping teeth that would sometimes welt or even bleed. Sharp, frantic thrusts of his cock into whatever part of you was open and at least partially ready.

Your tears were rarely just from discomfort. After all, there was a thrill to having the Captain of the Black Cat pirates dominate you so throughly, and he was determined to make you come just as many times as he did. If anything, he seemed to get off on making you overstimulated where you were begging him to stop.

Then the moon would change and you would have your usual lover back that would kiss your wounds (though never apologize.) Until another two weeks and the cycle began again.

*Author's note*

Well this request had been sitting in my inbox for awhile and I hope the anon who requested it is out there somewhere in the deep space of tumblr because I finally came around to writing it. It took some time due to life, work and moving houses during the holiday season but finally I was able to sit down and write this oneshot.

So as with any marvel oneshot there are some warnings of swearing, violence, and alluding to SA and r*pe but not on reader but a side character. So if the last warning triggers anyone just know it's not physically named but it is mentioned so I wont be butthurt of you wish to leave the story and not continue reading. Other than that I hope you all enjoy my darlings :)

“How is it that everytime I come up with a plan we always get what we want? But whenever it’s you who comes up with the plan, we get captured?!” Rocket exclaimed as he dangled upside down along with Peter.

“I already told you it was a face off!” argued Peter.

“And we’ve told you that a face off is a trap if you’re facing off against a stronger opponent!” Nebula snarled.

“It was a pretty convincing plan at first but now I agree with Rocket and Nebula, Peter.” Mantis said.

“You are a dumbass, Quill.” Said Drax.

The Guardians of the Galaxy had decided to help aid Thor in the case of the slaughtering of Gods.  Shortly after they had parted, they came across the Aztec God temples but were soon ambushed by the Knights of Huitzilopochtli.  Thinking he could go against the Aztec God of War, Peter decided to meet with the God himself in what he liked to call a ‘face off’, however Huitzilopochtli had no interest in making any sort of bargain or peace treaty, instead he now had Rocket and Peter dangling over a lava pit while Nebula, Mantis and Drax were bound in chains by their wrists and ankles on top of stone tables.

He would first sacrifice Rocket and Peter to lava pit, but not before cutting out their hearts and feeding them to his prized jaguars.

“Quill, if we get out of this alive I swear I’ll rip your face off!” Rocket snapped as he wriggled in the chains.

“Yeah, yeah and even if we die you’ll still rip my face off. Just-just—let me think.” Huitzilopochtli’s servants soon brought up three large cages that each contained a jaguar pacing aggressively in their cages.  Hungry for blood.

“Let the ritual begin!” Huitzilopochtli proclaimed.  The drums began pounding as the chanters did their ritual chant.  Soon the Jaguar Knight came forward with a five inch steel dagger in his hands.  Suddenly a metal wire shot out and knocked the dagger out of the jaguar knight’s hands.  He let out a jaguar-like hiss as he looked up only to be kicked in the face by a young woman in pure black and grey metal suit that fit her like a glove.  A metal knife suddenly extended out from the wrist gauntlets and she cut both Rocket and Peter free from their chains.

“Come with me if you want to live.” The mechanical voice from her helmet said.  It was all a blur to the Guardians, the rescue happened to fast they hardly knew that they were escaping.  Metal and rock had flew across the air and soon the jaguars had been released and were attacking anyone close by, devouring their flesh and feasting on their hearts.

When the Guardians finally got back to their ship and took off Mantis turned to the young woman and thanked her.

“We are grateful for your help in rescuing us.” The young woman touched the side of her helmet and it let out a hiss as it unhooked itself from it’s hinges and she removed her helmet to reveal a young teenage girl with what appeared to be a cybernetic gears infused around her left eye and across her forehead (almost like a circlet).

“No problem. Although I didn’t expect to go saving the Guardians of the Galaxy.”

“Okay first question, how much for the cybernetic circlet on your head?” asked Rocket.

“Rocket!” Mantis and Peter exclaimed.

“What?!”

“Hate to tell you this Rocket but this high-grade of metal is infused to my body.” She told them.

“Never stopped me before.” Shrugged Rocket.

“I am Groot!” Groot snapped.

“I think the main question is how did you know we were down at that ritual chamber?” asked Nebula suspiciously.

“Like I said before I didn’t. I originally went to Huitzilopochtli for a faulty deal on some priceless metal my mom had struck a deal with him. My aunt was originally going to take the job but I offered to go in her place. After all, no one suspects a young girl to do any harm, right?”

“That’s the ploy I’ve done in the past.” Said Nebula.

“After securing the right metal and making the point to never cross Zaofu again, that’s when I heard the drums and I saw you guys about to become his prized jaguar’s next meal. Lucky for us, those beasts don’t have any real loyalty to him.”  

“Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, hold on just a second there kid. You said you came from Zaofu? As in the Zaofu?” asked Rocket in awe.

“The very same. Unless there’s another planet in the galaxy by that title.”

“What’s Zaofu?” asked Peter.

“Oh-ho! Next to Nidavellir, Zaofu is the second greatest planet to ever exist. It’s home to some of the strongest and rarest metal in the entire galaxy. I would very much like to go there.” Rocket boasted.

“He’s right.” Said Nebula.  “The metal from Zaofu is not only said to be the strongest but also the most durable. It’s where—Thanos gained some of my parts to make me better than Gamora.” She said looking down at her arm.

“I thought I had recognized that material. That’s our regenerative metal. Able to put itself back together no matter how extreme the damage. But we’ve only ever used that on people with birth defects or amputees. Had my mother known that it went to Thanos of all people, she’d never would’ve agreed. I’m sorry.”

“It’s fine. I’ve gotten used to it.” Nebula shrugged.

“I have to ask though, what is the Guardians of the Galaxy doing at the Temple of Huitzilopochtli? I mean I know you guys are willing to protect those throughout the galaxy but I didn’t think that included Gods of War.”

“It’s a long story.” Peter started off but Mantis said.

“We’re helping Thor with the God Killer.”

“Mantis!” hissed Nebula.

“What? She seems trustworthy.”

“God killer huh? That’s the first I’ve heard of it. I would’ve thought nothing could touch those deities.”

“So we thought too, but then we received a message from one of golden boy’s friends and apparently someone is literally slaughtering gods left and right. Already over 300 of them have been killed.” Explained Rocket.  The girl let out a low whistle and said.

“Hog-monkeys. Well if you’re going up against an opponent like that, you’re gonna need something a lot stronger to fight and protect yourselves with. Cause if you though old Huitzilopochtli was bad, you haven’t seen anything yet.”

“You saying you’re allowing us to come to Zaofu?” asked Rocket.

“If you’re still up for it.”

“Well let me ask the captain about that, oh yeah it’s me. Yes we’ll go!”

“Rocket how many times do I have to say it I’m the Captain.” Hissed Peter under his breath.

“You know you really shouldn’t talk that way about your Captain, Quill. By the way, you never told us your name girlie.”

“Oh right how silly of my. The name’s (Y/n) Beifong. Daughter of High Lady Suyin Beifong of Zaofu.” She introduced herself.

“Wait, Beifong? You mean the richest family in the galaxy Beifong?” asked Rocket.  “Say, do you think once we get you home and return the metal you’re people have been swindled out of, we could probably get a little reward for our part in the trade?” (Y/n) chuckled and said to him.

“Slow down there Captain, let’s just get back to Zaofu and talk to my mother about this. She’s the one in charge of the economy.” And with that the Guardians set course for the planet Zaofu.

It was a beautiful planet of green and earth all over the landscape.  Lakes and rivers so crystal clear, they reflected the very sky itself and it’s two suns gave plenty of light but no heat to the land.  As the Guardians soared over the land they soon came across an advanced city entirely made of metal.

“Agent to tower; this is Agent Beifong Badge #349876 requesting clearance to land. Tower guard this is Agent Beifong Badge #349876 requesting clearance to land.” (Y/n) said after punching in a few codes on the holographic pad in front of her.

‘Tower to Agent Beifong, your request is granted. Welcome home Princess.’ A male voice soon came up over the intercoms.

“Just take us West of the palace and land 50 degrees West heading 0-3-0.” She advised Rocket and Peter who nodded and together they followed her instructions and safely landed their ship on top of a large landing platform that stood just feet from a large skyscraper tower of the palace.  (Y/n) grabbed the metal from her ship (that had been piggy-backed in the Guardian’s ship’s lower decks).  Their ship opened up and they walked down the stairway and there stood to their right about ten guards all wearing the same metal tight uniform (Y/n) had on.

And just ahead of them stood two women.  One wore the exact same armor but over her left breast plate was a silver badge in the shape of a star while the other woman beside her wore dark green tunic that rested over her green pants and sleeveless shirt.  The tunic cover had a metal collar going around it with each plate slowly increasing in size before decreasing again as it came back around. 

Much like (Y/n) a circlet rested over her head and she also wore gauntlets with metal plates in the shape of pentagons overlapping each other.  Both women looked fairly similar to each other in that both had greying hair but were fair looking, although the woman in the armor had a more gruff appearance to her while the other woman had a more gentle facial expression.

The guards all slammed their fists together, the metal from their armors sounding out a loud clank as they greeted the Princess on her safe return.  As (Y/n) and the Guardians stood before the two women, (Y/n) greeted them with a head bow.

“Chief, Mother. I have successfully secured the real metal we were promised and gave our message loud and clear to the War god Huitzilopochtli.”

“I never doubted you wouldn’t. You’re one of the best soldiers on the squad, and I’m not just saying that.” the woman in the black armor said.

“I’m just glad you’ve come home safely. And with some new friends I see.” The woman in the green tunic said.

“Yes, Mother, Chief Beifong, I’d like to introduce the Guardians of the Galaxy. They were prisoners of Huitzilopochtli when I went to secure the metal. About to be sacrificed to his prized jaguars. Guardians this is my mother and ruler of Zaofu Suyin Beifong, and my aunt and Chief of police, Lin Beifong.”

“That man knows nothing about diplomacy. Always kills first and asks questions later.” Suyin rolled her eyes.

“He is the God of War for a reason Suy.” Lin told her sister and she came up to (Y/n) and took the chess from her hands.  “I’ll take this down to our research facility.”

“Yes Chief.” (Y/n) bowed to her and both her aunt and the police force walked off towards the lab.

“Now I had asked this to your daughter earlier that since we helped your daughter recover some prized and rare metal that was promised to you, don’t you think we should be given a little compensation for helping her return what was rightfully meant to be yours?” asked Rocket as he rubbed his thumb, index and tall fingers together.

“Rocket!” exclaimed Mantis.

“How about this, we’ll talk about payment if you all stay for dinner and take some rest here tonight.” Suyin offered.

“As much as we appreciate that Lady Beifong…..” Peter started off only to be politely interrupted by Suyin.

“Please call me Suyin. Lady Beifong was my grandmother.”

“Suyin. We’re kinda in a tight schedule. Apparently someone’s killing gods and we promised not-very good looking Thor that we’d try and figure out who’s behind the killings.”

“Actually I might have some information in regards to that. But in order to go up against him, you’re gonna need some of our weapons and armor. Come, join me and my family for dinner and we’ll discuss everything.” With that suggestion and offer, the Guardians accepted Suyin’s offer and joined the Beifong family for dinner.

After coming to a negotiation, Suyin had her engineers and scientists build and forge the Guardians new weapons and tech to take down any gods like Huitzilopochtli’s forces and powers.  While observing the engineers add some new parts to their ship, Peter soon heard the sound of rocks being thrown around and crashing into a wall.

He went to investigate when he saw (Y/n) bending not only the rocks but metal as well.  Shooting out a metal wire to cut apart some trees and pull their branches off, or successfully transform the large boulders into various shapes before firing them at various targets.

“I thought I was going crazy at first seeing you do all that back at Jaguar-man’s palace.” She jumped and fired one of her metal wires which wrapped around Peter in a tight cocoon sending him on his back.

“Oh Star-lord, forgive me I tend to strike whenever someone surprises me like that.” She released her wires and they zipped back into her gauntlets while Peter assured her.

“No worries, I’ve had worse done to me before.” She helped him up and he asked her.  “So I’m guessing this is a normal after dinner activity for you?”

“I like to come out here to get away from it all. Don’t get me wrong I love my family to death but—sometimes I feel like I don’t belong here.”

��What do you mean?”

“Promise you won’t go blabbing to my mom about this?”

“Cross my heart.” Peter said as he crossed his heart for emphasis.  (Y/n) extended her hand and two small rocks slowly rose up from the ground over her palm and as she slowly wriggled her fingers, the rocks spun in a gentle circle around each other in a dance over her palm.

“Believe it or not, this ability I’m doing right now. I’m the only person in my family that can do this.”

“But don’t the Beifong family have the ability to control metal?”

“It’s true to a degree. The suit of armor that both me and my aunt Lin wear, it helps them control metal but without it, they’re powerless. Ever since I was a young girl and discovered I could bend earth to my will, my mother said it was because of my father’s gift. But the thing is, my father doesn’t have this ability, nor does anyone in his bloodline. I’ve tried to ask my mother for the truth but she always tells me that it’d be too much for me to bear.”

“So you think that your mom—”

“Cheated on her real husband? I doubt it, cause whenever I did ask about him in the past, there’s always this—pure hatred in her eyes. But she always told me that who he was didn’t matter. Baatar is my real father and my real brothers and sister are here. Aunt Lin is my real aunt and I am a Beifong through and through. But deep down I get this feeling that maybe I should make that decision for myself. On whether or not I should have the chance to meet him or not.”

“I get it. Sorta. I mean I thought that when I met my dad, he’d be everything I thought I’d ever longed for. Only to turn out that he killed my mother and tried to use me to conquer the entire galaxy. He may have been my father, but he wasn’t my daddy. I learned that from my real father after he had sacrificed himself to save me.”

“That’s heavy.” Whistled (Y/n).

“Yeah, it was. But Yondu was a good dad to me.” He said as he took out his Zune player.  “So your uhh—earth bending powers, how did you discover them?” Peter then tried to change the subject before he started to cry over his memories of Yondu.  (Y/n) smiled knowing this type of maneuver (her brothers did this all the time whenever they’d try to be strong and hardcore).

“Like I said, I was a young when it happened. I was just playing with my sister Opal out by the lake skipping rocks when suddenly as I reached out for one, my hands glew this bright blue light and the rock just shot up into my palm. We were both so scared that we ran to my mother crying in fear. I honestly don’t remember much after that but my mother had my aunt teach me how to control it. Got me my first metal-bending suit and I’ve been training with her ever since.”

Hearing her mention the blue light it perked Peter’s curiosity and he asked her.

“This blue light, can you describe it in anyway? Like what it made you feel when it came to you?”

“I—I don’t know how to explain it but….I do remember it being almost like my palms were on fire, yet they didn’t burn me. It felt like—like when you touch warm sand on a beach. Yet there was this feeling of—power to it. Like I could do anything with it.” Peter’s eyes widened.

He did remember that feeling when Ego told him about his Celestial heritage and taught him how to summon the light to his hands.  No but it—it couldn’t be? Could it? Could she really be his…….

“(Y/N)! Aunt Lin says she needs to speak to you about your armor! Says she’s got an upgrade for you!” one of her brothers called out to her.  She turned and exclaimed back.

“I’ll be there in a sec Wei!” she turned to Peter and said, “Better not keep Aunt Lin waiting. She hates it when people keep her waiting.”

“Yeah, yeah I better go and talk to the team about our next game plan. Also tell your aunt thanks for letting us use some of her police weapons.”

“She may not be happy about lending our weapons to non-Zaofuians but she’ll get over it, especially since it’s going to the Guardians of the Galaxy. But I’ll give her your regards anyways.” They went their separate ways and once Peter saw that no one was around, he took off sprinting towards Mantis’ room and rapidly knocked on her door.

“Could you be any louder at knocking Peter? I don’t think the others from Knowhere heard you.” Mantis whined with a groan.

“We need to talk.” Peter said urgently.  Sensing the urgency in his tone and knowing that this was a serious matter, Mantis allowed her brother inside and she shut the door behind her as well as locked it.  “You will not believe the conversation that I just had with (Y/n).”

“Are we being taken prisoners again?” asked Mantis worriedly.

“What no! No! Look, I know this may seem out of nowhere, but I want you to tell me first about when Ego found you and tried to make you feel a connection to the Celestial light.”

“Why would you want to know about that?”

“Just trust me Mantis. Please.” She looked into her brother’s eyes and saw the desperation but also some inkling of knowledge that he was going to fill her in on the details later.

“I had lied when I had told Drax and Gamora that Ego found me in my larva stage. He had actually came for me shortly after my mother had passed. Much like when Yondu came for you, he brought me to his planet and trained me just like he did you. But when I tried to make a connection to the light, all that awakened within me was my empathic abilities. Ego then told me that even though I’d never be able to help him with the Expansion, he still could find a purpose for me. And I had been forced to convince various of our other siblings to go along with us, before he said that I would only be used to help him sleep.”

“Wow, he really was a jackass.”

“Now will you tell me why you asked me about that?”

“(Y/n)’s ability to move earth, you know how she could bend those rocks back at Jaguar dude’s temple, turns out she has a connection to the Celestial light.”

“Are you saying that……(Y/n) is our—”

“Sister? I think she might be.”

“But how? When Ego died, you lost your connection to the Celestial light.”

“I don’t know. But the way she described the Light within her hands was exactly the same way it felt with me when I made my connection to it.”

“Did you tell her the truth?”

“Yeeeeeeeeaaaaaa—no.” stretched Peter.

“Peter we must tell her the truth. She deserves to know!” Peter stepped in front of her and said.

“I know she deserves to know but at the same time we can’t cause any family drama amongst the Beifongs. (Y/n) told me how everytime she brought up about her real dad, Suyin got this burning anger in her eyes and told her that they were her family, not him. And after seeing the way (Y/n) fights against Aztec Gods I’d hate to fight against her own mother and aunt.”

“So what are we going to do?” she asked him.

“I’ll think of something. Until I do, this stays between us okay? I mean it don’t tell anyone about this conversation to anyone else, especially Drax. You know he can’t keep a secret to save his own skin.”

“I promise.” She held out her pinkie and Peter wrapped his pinkie around hers.  “Sister’s promise.”

“Brother’s oath.” Peter replied back as they shook pinkies.

After about 3 days, the Guardians were finally ready to take off to find more Gods to save and check up on.

“We can’t thank you enough for everything you’ve done for us Suyin.” Peter thanked her.

“It was our pleasure to help in aiding the Guardians of the Galaxy. And if you’re ever passing by this way again, our doors will always be open to you.” Said Suyin with a respectable bow.  The Guardians bowed back to her before heading back to their ship, but it was then Peter stopped midway up the ramp when he said.

“Actually, there is something else we’d like to ask for.” The rest of the Guardians paused and turned to Peter.

“And just what would that be?” asked Chief Lin suspiciously.

“We’d like to extend an invitation to (Y/n) in joining us.” Everyone but Mantis became wide-eyed.  “After our experience with the Aztec god of war, we realized that we are heavily out-manned and she managed to take down all his forces single-handedly while also saving our asses. And if ever we need a tune-up she would know more about how to fix your special enhanced metal material.”

“Quill, I only had to be with Zaofu’s engineers for only 2 minutes and I can get the hang of it.” Proclaimed Rocket.

“Still it couldn’t hurt to have an expert who actually came from the place of its origins be with us should we ever need it. Two heads are better than one right?” Suyin was stunned as she turned to her youngest child and asked her.

“This is up to you (Y/n). Do you wish to go with the Guardians?” (Y/n) looked between both her family and the Guardians with a heavy heart.  She then walked up to her mother and spoke from the heart.

“My heart will always belong to Zaofu. But from the days that I would be with Aunt Lin on missions, I have seen great suffering. Some of which has been at the hands of our own metal smuggled by black marketers. I feel like Zaofu can do more for the galaxy than we already have.” Suyin sighed as she closed her eyes.

“You are my youngest child (Y/n). And I had hoped to have you remain at my side for a few more years. But now I see that you are no longer a child anymore. And at some point, I must learn to let go. If you should ever wish to return home, we’ll be here waiting for you.” (Y/n) smiled and embraced her mother.

“I love you mom.”

“I love you too.” After embracing her mother, she stood before her aunt and prepared to surrender her badge but Lin held out her hand to stop her.

“Keep it. I didn’t make you an officer of Zaofu for nothing.” She bowed before her aunt before hugging her.  Lin smiled softly down at her and embraced her back.  (Y/n) then bid goodbye to all her brothers and sister as well as her dad before turning to the Guardians and joining alongside them.

As they entered and the ramp slid back up, (Y/n) took one last look at her family as they bid her goodbye and she wiped her hidden tears away and waved to them in return before the Guardian’s ship left Zaofu.

Now heading to their next destination to answer the next signal from some Light elves on Álfheimr (Y/n) soon spotted Peter on the upper main decks looking out into the endless starry sky.

“So what was the real reason?” she asked him.

“Huh?” Peter turned to her.

“The real reason you offered me a spot on the Guardians.”

“What are you talking about kid? What I said was 100% true. Rocket may think he’s smart but no one can really understand Zaofu metal than someone who was raised there. And…..”

“Peter, I know you’re lying.”

“What so you can detect when people are lying?”

“In a sense. My grandmother was born blind, so one day she ran off and found herself lost in a cave until she came across some badger-moles. They were blind just like her, but they used the earth as an extension of their senses. She learned out to see the world through the earth around her. Feeling seismic energy of people’s footsteps and even hearing their heartbeats through the earth. And when my mom and aunt were born, she taught it to them, and then Aunt Lin taught it to me. And last night, your heartrate was beating rapidly when I told you about my powers. So come on, out with it.” Peter sighed and confessed.

“Okay, so obviously you know how I found out my dad was a real douchebag and tried to destroy the galaxy. But before that, he taught me that being a Celestial he had a connection to the Light, and he taught it to me as well as Mantis. Even though Mantis didn’t have a connection to it, she still proved a purpose by awakening her empathic powers. As for me, I did have a connection to the Light. And it was that same connection that you said you felt when you first discovered your powers.”

“So you can earth-bend too?”

“No. I mean I did when I fought Ego, but after we had killed him to stop the Expansion, I lost my connection to the Light. Yet somehow, you still have it.” (Y/n) stared at him and slowly her harsh expression turned to shock as she cautiously said.

“Wait…….so, you’re suggesting that I—”

“Ego told me he spent eons trying to find a second Celestial to bring forth the expansion but each of his children failed him. So he had them killed. Millions of children slaughtered all because they couldn’t live up to his expectations, except me. And in a way, you. But your mom and the rest of Zaofu refused to surrender you to him. That’s probably why she never talked about your real father.”

(Y/n) was stunned silent as she fell to her knees.  She looked down at her shaky hands and Peter slowly knelt down in front of her.

“But he’s gone. He’s gone for good. We blew up his core and there’s absolutely no chance of him ever coming back. And if by some insane, unexplainable reason that he ever does come back, he won’t get to you. Because you’ve not only got your family on Zaofu on yourself, but you’ve also got us, Especially Mantis and I.” (Y/n) looked up at him and asked.

“You and Mantis are……”

“As surprising as it seems, yeah. She’s my sister. Half-sister but my sister nonetheless. And so are you.” He placed a comforting hand on her shoulder and gently shook it which got her to smile.

“At least now I can say I’ve got another sister to add to the ranks.”

“Oh come on, having another big brother can’t be that bad. Especially if that brother is me. C’mon at least admit that I’m the coolest out of all your brothers.” She stood back up laughing as she walked away. “(Y/n)? C’mon (Y/n) admit it! I know you want to say it but you’re just too stubborn to admit it. Not every girl can say their big brother is a member of the Guardians, right? Right? (Y/n)! (Y/N)!!!!”

WARNING: EVENTUAL SMUT, BLOOD GORE, DETAILED GRAPHIC DESCRIPTION, ABUSE (ALL FORMS), PROFANITY, VIOLENCE, MENTIONS OF SUICIDE, CHARACTER DEATH(MINOR), SADOMASOCHISM ACTS, MENTIONS OF BDSM, ETC...

Summary: Heaven Valentino, the name that sends shivers down one's spine, is a woman whose influence leaves a profound impact.

As the youngest and only daughter of the esteemed Valentino family, many perceived her as a privileged and helpless individual who relied solely on her family's support.

However, little did they know that this very woman would rise to power, commanding the world with an unwavering determination.

Heaven's demeanor is one devoid of leniency; she refuses to tolerate even the slightest hint of absurdity. Her exterior holds an air of ethereal fragility, reminiscent of a precarious deity.

Yet, beneath this facade lies a heart of gold, a tenderness she reveals only to her loved ones. It is a contrast that intrigues many and keeps them guessing about her true nature.

Meanwhile, the story takes a compelling turn as the lives of seven rare hybrids intertwine with Heaven's destiny.

These hybrids, perfected through careful conditioning, represent a diverse array of predator species. Bound together by their unique circumstances, they hold on to a glimmer of hope for freedom, relying on their deep mutual affection to retain their sanity throughout their hardships.

Hey there!

So, let's dive into this book, shall we? First things first, if you're expecting a soft and fluffy story with cute scenes and characters, this might not be the book for you. Nope, this book is definitely not for the faint-hearted!

Now, let's talk about what you can expect. There will be some selected bonus chapters, specifically requested by you awesome readers. I want to make sure you're getting exactly what you're looking for!

But here's the thing, I won't shy away from deep and dark scenes. Brace yourself for some intense moments that might even trigger you. I believe in portraying real emotions and experiences, even if they're not always sunshine and rainbows.

Oh, one more thing. Plagiarism and translations of my work without permission? Not cool! I've poured my heart and soul into this book, so if I catch you doing that, I won't hesitate to report you. Let's keep things fair and respect each other's work, deal?

Now, criticism is totally fine. Feel free to express your opinions about the characters' behavior! But here's a line, folks. Degrading the characters or expecting them to follow your personal agenda? Nope, not allowed. We're here for a good time, not to pick a fight!

Okay, here's the deal with the pace of the story: slow-burn. Yep, you heard it right. We're taking our time, letting the story and relationships develop at a deliciously slow pace. So, if you're all about that slow-burn anticipation, you're in for a treat!

Now, let's talk about some ground rules. Racial, prejudiced, and intolerant comments? Not welcome at all! I won't tolerate any form of discrimination. If I catch you doing that, I'll report you faster than you can say "oops." Respect is key here, folks. Respect the characters and respect your fellow readers. No irrelevant arguments or fan wars allowed in the comments section. Let's keep it chill and focus on the story, okay?

Now, finally, let's talk about the content warning. Brace yourself, because this book has it all. We're talking blood, gore, sexual abuse, profanity, explicit mature themes, violence, mental trauma, and even torture. Yes, it's intense, but it's all part of the story. I just want to make sure you're aware before you dive in.

One more thing, I want to make it crystal clear that I don't own BTS or HYBE. This is all pure entertainment and should not be taken seriously. But everything else? Yeah, that's all mine.

If you're not comfortable with any of this, I totally understand. Maybe this book isn't the right fit for you, and that's okay! But if you're up for the challenge, buckle up and get ready for an exciting ride. I wish you the best of luck as you embark on this journey with me!

The Navi way.

Sorry for the bad writing guys (more Jake coming quickly because I cant get enough of him). 

He was sent to pandora by the sky people it was his mission to collect information and to feed it back to his commander. He was not meant to start any romantic relations or anything emotional towards the Navi people. 

````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````Jake Sully stumbled through the forest of Pandora, it was his first night alone and yet he still cant get a moment of peace. He hears the growling of animals surrounding him, he struggles to light the torch he is holding but succeeds just in time. Black animals are in every line of sight they some what resemble jaguars on Earth but skinner. Jake tumbles around fighting with the animals until she steps in shooting at the animal with precision. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Your pov: 

I have to kill for a Navi that acts as if he is a child, he acts like killing isnt the last resort for Navi. I grab the source of light and throw it into the stream of water diminishing its flames, I climb up the branches and speed up. I hear his loud stomps and tripping trailing behind me and his gasps of air from the pace, “Hold on…. Wait up”. He grabs my arm while speaking, “I just wanted to say thanks for killing those things”. I swing my bow back to hit him, his grip on my arm immediately realising, “damn” he mutters astonished. “Dont thank. You dont thank for this. This is sad, very sad only”, I say leaning down and glaring at him. Hes still on the floor but now with one hand up asking for forgiveness through body language, “Ok im sorry. For whatever I did im sorry”. I stand up straight shaking my head at him still upset, “This is your fault. They did not need to die” those animals didn't deserve such a sad death at all. The outsider smirks still on the floor disagreeing with what I believed, “My fault? They acted me how is this my faul-”. I interrupt him swiftly shoving my bow in his directions, “YOUR fault, your fault. Your like a baby..making noises not knowing what to do”. The man puts his hands up while standing up leaning in closer while speaking,“If you love your little forest friends why didn't you let them kill me? Huh?”. The question throws me off guard immensely yet I know my reasonings, “...you have a strong heart, no fear”. I walk up closer to him squinting at him with anger, “but stupid you are ignorant like child” I turn away from him walking away quickly. Yet he keeps coming asking me to teach him though sky people do not learn easily, his rant continues on until he nearly falls from the large branch. I catch him by the arm glaring as I steady him, “you are like a baby, you do not belong here go back. “No” he says quickly and continues to fight me on whether he should go with me or not. They float down and surround him showing me it is a sign, he attempts to swat them away and I smack his hand telling him not to in Navi tongue. After the sign I made the decision to allow him to come along with me but as he follows along with me he is tied up by my people. I tell them to back down and to not kill him. We make it to the home tree where my father the emperor is waiting. The executive decision has been made, I am to teach Jake Sully the navi way and he will prove himself to be one of us. Lots of training has been put into Jake for the past few days, this consists of teaching him the navi language which he struggles to grasps. It feels the only way for him to learn is a smack to the head after the third time repeating a phrase. He is truly a moron, his form at shooting bow and arrow needs constant corrections but he is increasingly improving everyday. Yet we bond of his failures and improvements such as now. Jake pulls back the arrow with almost perfect form but it is not quite correct and to my standard, I lift his arm up slightly and stand next to him our cheeks almost touching from the proximity. I teach him the way to kill properly and how to embrace the way of the forest before deciding he is ready to take on the final task of the Navi ways. After watching Jake wrestle and struggling with taming his animal we fly together watching one another in asument, Im proud of my student, i've taking a liking to Jake which is surprising. Maybe more than a liking, its a feeling like no other, when I see him I feel consumed by his presence and love. Jake is expected by the people and my father, I take him to a scared place, we share our love for eachother. We stare into eachother eyes with more love than we’ve ever felt before. I knew that the moment his hand grazed my cheek I wanted to be his forever. He leans in hands holding the sides of my face sensually. Our lips find each other, I feel his hand move to the back of my neck pushing me closer to him. We don’t separate for what seems like hours the emotions too intense to pull back from. But our lungs can only go so long without air, Jane pulls back give a large smile plastered on his face hands still resting in place. “I want you to be mine. Will you be mine?”, he says with nothing but hope and adoration. “I’m yours Jake” I huff out still short of breath. Jake slams his lips to mine pushing us backwards, I moan and kiss back with the same intensity. Jake sinks down to the ground where I follow suit seeing how the beauty around us illuminates his features. He pulls me into his lap, his hands rubbing down my back as he lays open mouthed kisses along my neck. We are breathless in the most beautiful way possible, that night I declare him as my mate for life. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I wake up on the floor Jakes arms wrapped around my body securely I smile embracing the moment for as long as possible. Then the cracking starts the sound of the forest where I live being broken and cut down, I shake Jake trying to get him to wake up before he is crushed by a falling tree. I have to drag him out of harms way, he wakes up and we get to safety as quick as possible, my heart breaks for my home. I stand and watch the place where I grew up and spent my life, get broken apart by aliens, people with no remorse for my home, I cry watching my only comfort is Jake's hand on my shoulder.

Merry Christmas, tumblrs!

This story was inspired by an ask from @peonierose regarding sending wrong pictures to the wrong number. This answer is definitely not what anyone asked for and probably doesn’t want, except maybe three mutuals. I honestly couldn’t make up my mind which Liam x Riley to use, so chose three where this situation would be a very real possibility.

Tis the season and all that, so set the drabbles at Christmastime. This fic is not beta’d and barely edited/proofed; forgive me all typos, missing/extraneous words, and/or grammatical errors. MS Word Editor rates me 98% error-free for this tale.

Thank you to all who will read this! Your likes, comments, and reblogs are appreciated far more than you know.

Riam (song inspo: hospital beach, Cottonwood Firing Squad)

Queen Riley of Cordonia impatiently pulled her Santa hat forward as she admired the wrapping on her last Christmas gift to her husband when Mara, her personal guard, stuck her head through the doorway of the Valtorian Great House’s formal dining room.

Mara’s eyes grew wide at the pile of cheerfully wrapped boxes adorned with ribbons and bows.

“I thought you said you didn’t know what to get His Majesty?” the guard demanded, irritation and astonishment in her tone.

“I DIDN’T!” Riley retorted. “If I did, there wouldn’t be these many gifts!”

Every year of their marriage, the Queen lamented each Christmas over what to get the man who literally had everything. Liam was a KING, for crying out loud.

This year, she purchased socks and neckties from Saville Row on behalf of their unborn sons. Frac was giving his father a dozen, brightly colored plaid socks with the Savile Row insignia embroidered on them; Fric’s present was an assortment of silk ties: paisley, plaid, novelty, and three in somber, solid colors.

Yes, Liam was a father, but he was still royal.

Riley was giving her husband three new custom-made suits, the newest iPhone, a Jaguar F-Pace SUV in black with gray interior, and with Lord Neville’s assistance, had converted one of the empty suites in their living quarters into an indoor golf course.

Riley was convinced Neville had overcharged her.  The golf clubs alone had set her back a little over $16,000. 00 in USD.

But still, she felt something was missing. She wanted to give her husband a gift that was personal, intimate … just for him.

“Is he headed this way? Is that why you’re here?” Riley asked as she dug in her snack hamper for something to eat.

Mara shook her head. “No, Ana De Luca has arrived.”

“LET HER IN!” Riley shouted excitedly as she unwrapped a turkey sandwich.

The Queen neither liked nor trusted the photographer, but Ana was the best photographer in all of Europe and Riley had reached out to her to discuss her idea for a personal gift for the King.

Last month inspiration hit Riley to chronicle she and Liam’s pregnancy via photos; she had sent Ana a collection of personal and professional pictures taken over the course of the past eight months and then requested a boudoir-style photo session. After the photojournalist had signed an NDA, of course.

Mara exited the room, returning shortly with the world-renowned paparazzo who wore her signature sunglasses and carried a stylish camera bag.

“Lemme see, Ana!” Riley demanded as she took a healthy bite out of her sandwich.

Ana De Luca smiled warmly at her monarch as she dipped into a curtsy. “Your Majesty, you’re positively glowing! And I think you’ll be pleased with what I was able to do with the photos.”

Riley cut her eyes; she was swollen everywhere, there were bags under her eyes, and she had a mouth full of food. Ana was such a kiss-ass.

Ana De Luca took a seat next to Riley at the expansive dining table that had been cleared of place settings, glassware, and centerpieces, but was now littered with wrapping paper and tape.

Mara prepared to take her leave, but Riley stopped her. “Where are you going? I need your opinion on these!”

The guard rolled her eyes as she took a seat on the other side of Ana. The photographer carefully removed her camera from its bag, ignoring the Queen’s impatient sighs. After powering the device on and pushing a few buttons, the screen was filled with brilliant, colorful photos:

Riley in Texas, wearing a cowboy hat, her chest hidden behind tall-stalked sunflowers; the midday sun cast a golden glow over the sky and her skin.

Riley wearing a blue cotton dress and soft smile, propped up in bed with a shirtless Liam settled between her legs as he cradled her stomach.

Liam, in full royal regalia, beaming to a crowd from their bedroom balcony as he announced their pregnancy.

Riley grinning as she pointed her index fingers towards her baby bump.

Liam holding Riley close, his nose buried in her hair as she laid her cheek in the crook of his shoulder.

A sleepy Riley in bed with a sleeping Liam, his face laid against a swollen breast; his cheek covered one nipple. The bed sheet covered her other one.

The royal couple in the doctor’s office while Riley received a sonogram.

A close-up photo of the royal couple’s clasped hands.

A photo of them from behind as they walked one of the immense hallways of the Palace, his hand placed against her lower back.

Liam and Riley sharing a deep kiss, his palms covering her belly.

Riley alone in the middle of a bed with mussed sheets, a length of hair covering one eye and her lips painted cherry red. She wore a lowcut black negligee, showing lots of cleavage while her hands were spread over her very pregnant belly.

A silhouette of a naked Riley, her head bowed and her palms cupping the bottom of her impossibly stretched stomach.

Dozens more photos flickered across the small screen; Mara raised an eyebrow in admiration while Riley’s eyes widened with each passing image. Ana was a magician with a camera, no doubt about it.

“All of these have been sent to your personal email address via secured link,” Ana informed Riley.

Riley nodded slowly as her gaze lingered over an extremely risqué boudoir photo. Mara leaned closer into Ana De Luca to get a better look at the image her employer was so obviously taken with. Riley noticed, and abruptly slapped her palm over the screen.

“WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT?” she snapped in a raised voice.

“You TOLD me to stay and give you my opinion!” Mara countered.

“On SAFE FOR WORK pictures!”

Mara rolled her eyes. “You seem to forget that I have seen you AND the King in all manners of undress and nudity!”

Ana’s head swiveled as she looked from monarch to guard, interest and curiosity evident in her expression. She hadn’t signed an NDA for this.

“That was THEN, Mara! We are PARENTS now! We NO LONGER indulge in NAKEDNESS!”

“What do you call what I saw two nights ago?” Mara demanded.

A pause while Riley thirstily sipped unsweetened tea. “You know what? I’m ending this,” the Queen decided. “Ana, please print all photos as 8 x 10, and separate into family friendly and personal albums. I’d like them by Christmas Eve, no later than noon. Also, share this image directly to my personal cell please.” Her fingertip tapped the camera screen.

“Of course, Your Majesty,” Ana replied as she pushed buttons before powering the camera down. Her mind raced as she thought of sources she could contact about the cryptic, yet very telling conversation she had been privy to.

“Mara, escort Ms. De Luca out AFTER taking her to the security office to sign another NDA” Riley glared at her guard as she shoved the last of her sandwich in her mouth.

Mara glared back as she led a crestfallen Ana De Luca out of the room.

Once alone, Riley checked her texts for the image. She frowned at the photo; at the time, it seemed like a good idea …  a sexy idea. Now, she wasn’t so sure … it just looked  cringey and fetishy.

Which meant Liam would love it.

Or would he?

The Queen needed a second opinion, and she knew just who to get it from: Miss Annabelle Parsons. Not only was she impartial, but she was also open-minded and discreet. Riley could only imagine the fallout of sending the photo to Hana or Maxwell.

She scrolled through her contacts, sharing the image with her dear friend. She didn’t bother to add a caption or note. True friendship was sharing questionable content with no explanation necessary.

Riley stood slowly, sticking her tongue out at the active kicks against her stomach; apparently her sons enjoyed the snack. She pulled a rolling cart alongside the table and began to place wrapped boxes and colorful gift bags upon it.

Her phone rang; she reached out to answer it, not bothering to look at the caller ID. She knew it was Annabelle.

“Hey, that was quick!” she greeted.

“You are sexy as hell, and I want you now,” her husband growled in her ear.

He wasn’t Annabelle Parsons.

Riley grimaced at a twinge of lower back pain. “Liam, what has gotten into you?”

“The picture you sent.”

Riley’s eyes widened as her face dropped. SHITSHITSHITSHIT!!

She pulled the phone from her ear, frantically scrolling through her text messages. Her last chat with Annabelle Parsons was three days ago. Liam’s chat, however, had the questionable photo sat on read. Riley’s fingers scrambled across the screen as she unsent the message.

“What picture? I didn’t send you any picture!” she squeaked in what she hoped was an annoyed tone.

“Don’t play coy, love. I can’t stop looking at it,” Liam chided before falling silent. “Riley, did you just unsend the photo?”

“It wasn’t for you!” Riley replied defensively.

“What do you mean, IT WASN’T FOR ME?” Liam demanded angrily.

“It was for Miss Parsons!” Riley continued to stack presents, although her hands were shaking slightly. It appeared her plan of deflecting Liam’s questions by starting an argument was not working.

“RILEY!” Liam thundered. “WHO was the intended recipient of the photograph? And tell me THE TRUTH!”

“I TOLD YOU! It was for Annabelle Parsons. And I’m not speaking to you anymore!”

Riley ended the call and stared at her phone briefly before blocking Liam’s number.

There! Problem solved.

To be on the safe side, Riley made her way to the dining room doors, locking them from the inside.

Just in case.

She had just made it back to her seat when there was a heavy pounding on the doors, followed by the rattling of doorknobs and Liam shouting for her to OPEN THE DOOR!

Riley looked like a naughty child caught in the act. She pressed her index finger to her lips and looked down at her stomach, which was rolling with her sons’ turns and kicks.

“Shhhh! If we’re very quiet he won’t know we’re in here,” she whispered to her sons.

Commoner’s Wife (song inspo: No One’s Here to Sleep, Naughty Boy/Bastille)

The Palace halls were bustling with staff and nobility alike as final preparations for the Cordonian Citizens’ Christmas Ball were underway. It was an annual event where families, selected via lottery, came to dine and dance, and meet their duchy’s leaders.

Children from various orphanages across the country would also be in attendance to meet Santa and tell him what they wanted for Christmas. The King would review the lists, and personally purchase gifts to be handed out to every child on Christmas Day.

Maintenance engineers hung twinkling lights along crown molding, while maids dusted portraits and statuary. Butlers inspected decorated trees, and straightened wreaths. Christmas carols played from hidden speakers, adding to the chatter and noise throughout the immense hallways.  

Drake Walker, the Duke of Valtoria, maneuvered his way through the throng; his eyes darted everywhere as he searched for his Duchess. Instead, he found the Countess of Fydelia furiously scribbling in a notebook as she hurried down the hall.

“Hey, Madeleine!” Drake blocked the Countess’ path.

The Royal Communications Director scowled up at him. “Drake, what do you want? I have a minor emergency in the Grand Ballroom, and a major one in the kitchens!”  

Drake blew out an impatient huff. “Have you seen Riley? She basically disappeared once we arrived here this morning.”

“Are you SERIOUS right now?” Madeleine yelled in a shrilly tone to be heard over the noise.  “Do you have ANY idea he amount of work that goes into these balls and galas?” Madeleine waved a hand dismissively. “Of course you don’t. You’re used to showing up, drinking liquor, eating food, and going home. She’s probably assisting with seating charts, or maybe ensuring that Santas will be here for the orphans. Or one of a thousand other things!”

Her phone rang. As soon as she answered, a frown twisted her ruby-colored lips. “Do NOT tell me THAT!” she warned her caller as she began moving down the hall again. She paused to look over her shoulder at Drake. “Text her! Or Liam. We’ve got 100 things to do and not nearly enough hands to help, so she could be anywhere.”

Drake raked his fingers through his hair as he wondered again why he told Brooks to accept the duchy. At the time, he didn’t want her to leave Cordonia. To leave him. But between her responsibilities and duties, he felt he may be seeing more of her if she had returned to Brooklyn.

He was neither a lazy husband nor Duke. He knew what marriage to a Duchess would entail, and he was willing to put in the work regarding both his marriage and gaining and keeping the trust of his … their … citizenry. What he hadn’t anticipated was how closely the Duchess would be working with the King. Drake knew his wife’s feelings towards Liam were ambivalent at best.

She was tense and nervous upon her returns from the Palace, which were growing increasingly later, heading straight into the shower to help calm her. On the rare occasions she returned within what Drake deemed to be a reasonable time, she was agitated and uncommunicative.

He didn’t want Brooks upset or hurt over Liam ever again. Yet, whenever he suggested he take over some of the palatial duties, she always refused; instead, she encouraged him to pursue Royal Guard training, an idea he had been entertaining long before their marriage.  

Liam was her problem, not his.

The Duke of Valtoria really didn’t need his wife for anything; he merely wanted to be with her. Whatever needed to be done to ensure the ball went off without a hitch, he wanted them to do it together.

Drake decided to head towards the King’s private quarters hoping to find Liam, or his assistant. One of the two would know where his wife was. But when he arrived at the suite, the guard outside the doors said the King was on an international conference call and could not be disturbed.

The Duke asked if the guard had seen the Valtorian Duchess.

The answer was negative.

Drake pulled out his phone, dialing his wife’s number. For the fifth time, his call went unanswered. Shaking his head, he turned around and didn’t see the guard pull out his own phone and begin texting. The Duke was halfway down the hallway when a Palace staffer caught his attention.

“Your Grace, your assistance is needed in setting up the Santa Station in the ballroom. Lord Neville was supposed to help, but …” the worker shrugged.

“Say no more, and lead the way,” Drake replied. “Curious, have you seen the Duchess of Valtoria around?”

“She and His Majesty were in the garden maze helping with decorations, but that was over an hour ago. Folks are being pulled in so many different directions today.”

Drake nodded understandingly. “I’m surprised at how many nobles are pitching in.”

“Oh, it’s always all-hands on deck when it comes to the general public and the children.”

Drake nodded again. “That’s the kind of man the King is.”

Three hours later, Drake was back in the rooms assigned to him and Riley; his shoulders were tight, pine needles littered his hair, and his stomach was growling. He was pleasantly surprised to see a food trolley filled with lunchmeat sandwiches, assorted snacks and fruits, and cold beverages.

He was excited to see Riley pushing her heels of her feet. “Hey, babe!  You didn’t answer any of my calls. Where’ve you been all day?” he asked before claiming her lips in a searing kiss.

“Dear God, everywhere, performing Cordonian duty!” she answered when they broke the kiss. “Looks like you’ve been putting up Christmas trees,” she observed.

“Yeah, the Santa Stop is officially in place. Only took an entire crew plus me.”  

Drake exhaled a long breath. “What time does this thing start? I could use food and a nap. Or quality alone time with my wife,” he waggled his eyebrows suggestively.

Riley giggled as she tossed her phone onto the bed. “You grab a sandwich; I’ll grab a shower. Meet you back here in 10?”

“Only if there’s a massage in it for me. Manual labor reminds me I’ve let my gym routine slip a bit.”

Riley’s cream-colored sweater dress fell to the carpet. “Whatever you desire, Your Grace,” she purred in a sultry tone.

Drake grinned as he swatted her ass. “I love it when you talk dirty to me.”

He watched as she quickly stripped out of hosiery and undergarments, and then disappeared into the bathroom. Drake fished his phone out of his pocket, tossing it on the bed next to Riley’s. They had matching phones, cases, and passcodes.

They both wanted transparency in their marriage. Besides, they had the same friends and nothing to hide.

He grabbed a sandwich, holding it one hand; with the other, he struggled out of shirt. He frowned at the pine needles that fell from his hair and clothing. He took another huge bite of bread, meat, and cheese, deciding to join his wife; he had just unfastened his jeans when one of the phones vibrated.

Ten minutes later, Riley re-entered the bedroom; her hair was damp, the curls still dripping water. A fluffy white towel was wrapped around her body. “Ready or not, here I come!” she sang out.

Drake was sitting on the side of the bed, staring at his phone. His jaw was clenched, his eyes mere slits as he looked at the screen.

“Honey, you okay?” Riley asked, a thread of worry in her voice.

Drake stood slowly, anger clearly visible on his face. He held the phone up so Riley could see the screen.

She paled instantly.

“I don’t know how I am, Brooks,” he ground out the words through gritted teeth. “Care to tell me why the KING OF CORDONIA texted you a DICK PIC and says he misses you already?"

SGL x Riley B. (song inspo: Got to Be Real, Cheryl Lynn)

Liam grinned at Penelope as the couple did the electric slide across the banquet hall. It was the law firm’s annual holiday party, and the pair had joined in with about 50 other people on the parquet dance floor to groove to 70s disco and funk.

Penelope grinned back as she shimmied her shoulders and her hips swung side to side, in sync with the group. She had many failings as a girlfriend, but the woman could dance. Liam appreciated a good dancer.

Their bellies were full of catered steak and seafood, and both were pleasantly tipsy courtesy of the open bar. The song changed to something from the 80s with a slower beat, and he drew Penelope into an embrace; their bodies moved together as one. Liam softly sang along with the tune, his teeth occasionally nipping his girlfriend’s earlobe.

She laid her head against his chest. “This is so great, Li,” she murmured.

“Oh, it’ll get better once we’re back in our room,” he promised.

Liam had taken advantage of the discounted room rate for guests who didn’t want to travel back to DC from Reston, Virginia after a night of revelry.

Penelope giggled. “Merry Christmas.”

Meanwhile, in DC, Riley Renee Brooks was pretty wasted. It was three days before Christmas, and she was alone.

Drake had boarded a plane that morning, bound for Christmas in Texas while Riley went to work. While Riley ate a pizza lunch with Maxwell, Drake was picking up his rental car from the Austin airport. When Riley met some former co-workers for a comedy show after work, Drake was cooking dinner for his mom. After the show, Riley and her friends went out for drinks. Drake was asleep.

Riley was not a drinker, but she had to try something called Kinky Pink. That led to Kinky Green. And she couldn’t leave out Kinky Blue.

Kinky, while colorful and fruity, was pretty potent. Four drinks in, Riley was on her ass.

Her friends drove her home, helped her into her apartment, and made sure she was settled with aspirin and water before taking their leave.

Now she was naked, starfished on her bed thinking of how much she missed her boyfriend when she got the bright idea to take naked selfies to send him. If she could just find her phone …

Back in Reston, Liam was at the bar requesting a bottle of water. Two of them. The party was still going strong, but Liam intended to go strong later that night, so it was time to limit the intake. He glanced around, catching sight of Penelope at the blackjack table. By the look on her face, she was losing. Badly.

Perfect timing.

He would play a few hands, then take her upstairs. If he lost, she wouldn’t feel it was just her. If he won, she knew Liam would replace her loss. And she eaten and drank plenty on someone else’s dime, which would make her … appreciative.

Win-win.

Liam wished, not for the first time, that this relationship wasn’t so much work.

He was crossing the room when he felt his phone move in his jacket pocket. He stopped at a nearby table, dropping into an empty seat. He set the waters down, fished his phone out of his pocket, and unlocked the home screen. His eyes scanned through text messages; nothing new. Email had no notifications. WhatsApp … ahhhh, there it was. A message from Riley B.

His eyebrow raised slightly. Riley B. knew it was the night of the holiday party; she didn’t intrude when she knew Liam would be busy, whether it was work or pleasure. He wondered if it was an emergency. He quickly tapped on the chat; his eyes bugged as he fell into a coughing fit. The table’s occupants looked at him in concern, asking if he was okay.

A red-faced Liam nodded quickly. “Water went down the wrong pipe,” he offered in explanation.

No one mentioned that the bottles of water were unopened.

Liam looked at the phone again, his eyes growing wider and rounder in disbelief and lust. Staring back at him were two large breasts, almost golden in color with large areolas and long, milk chocolate nipples.

He was staring at Riley B.’s tits!

His cock immediately sprang to attention.

There was a second picture; with a trembling finger, Liam opened it and audibly gulped.

Riley B. was naked on her bed, resting on her haunches, with a dildo in her mouth.

The ENTIRE dildo.

Sweet Jesus come please us!

Liam was about to blow a load right there in the Hyatt Regency’s Ballroom A.

He looked around furtively; Penelope was still at the blackjack table, pouting. Liam knew he couldn’t just vanish on her. She was his date. His girlfriend. No, he couldn’t just disappear, but he could slip away for a few.

Riley B. was always a priority, but a naked Riley B.? Top priority.

He took several deep breaths, scooped the waters and hurried over to the casino area.

“Babe, I gotta go to the room real quick. Here, take this water and let me give you some cash so you can continue playing, okay?” His words spilled from his lips so quickly, he barely understood what he was saying.

Penelope looked up at him with watery blue eyes. “I’m losing, Li!”

“I know you are. Why don’t you go try the roulette wheel?” He handed her three 100-dollar bills.

Penelope smiled brightly. “Okay!” she chirped.

Liam nodded briefly at her before making a beeline for the doors. At the elevators, he repeatedly pressed the elevator button, muttering “c’mon, c’mon” until the doors opened. Once at his floor, he sprinted to his room while praying the front desk had taken care of the key issue he and Penelope had earlier at check-in.

Once inside, he pulled the curtains shut, closed the bathroom door, and fell back on the bed; his phone was in his hand, and Riley’s B.’s breasts once again filled his vision. He stared for a full minute, unzipping his pants in an effort to relieve the growing pressure in his crotch.

Liam dialed Riley’s number slowly, hoping against hope. For what, he didn’t know.

“CHELLO!” Riley slurred when she picked up.

“Riley B.! Are you okay?” Liam demanded.

“Why you callin’ me Liam’s name? You always say Brooks!”

Liam exhaled a small breath. Riley B. was drunk. As a skunk. He wasn’t sure if he was relieved or disappointed. The pictures weren’t meant for him. They were for Drake. Her boyfriend. And she was too inebriated to realize her mistake.

What he did know was his erection was gone; he quickly zipped his pants back up.

“It’s not Drake. It’s me, Liam.”

“Did you like the pictures, big boy?” She was attempting sexy, but her voice was whiny and screechy.

“You sent them to me, Riley B., not Drake.”

“You want me to send them to Liam?” Riley sounded confused. “Why? He would laugh at them. He doesn’t see me like that.”

The hell I would and the hell I don’t!

“You didn’t like the pictures, Drake?” Her voice was quavering as if she were on the verge of tears.

“I love them! That’s why I called as soon as I saw them.”

Liam gave up talking sense to his best friend. She was tore up from the floor up.

“I wanna do things with you when you get back!”

“We will.”

“Drake, I’m drunk. I drank Kinky shit tonight.” Riley’s voice was getting sleepy.

“You know you can’t drink like that, Riley B.,” he replied in a reproving tone.

“I miss you, is all. Everyone else is together for Christmas and I wish we were too.”

Liam closed his eyes, fighting the urge to leave Penelope at the hotel and rush over to Brookland.

“I’ll be home soon. Hey, you know what? Liam doesn’t have any plans for Christmas Eve; call him and see if he wants to hang out.”

“Did you really like the pictures?” Riley whined as her cadence slowed and her voice deepened.

“I loved them. And I love you. Now get some sleep.”

“Night night.”

Liam heard her fumble with the phone before she hung up; he ended the call and stared at the photos one last time before deleting them.

valamennyi ayahuasca

...

Roberta Louis:  As you continued to drink ayahuasca, or natem, during your healing, you had some profound visionary experiences. Would you tell us about a couple of these?

Margaret de Wys:  We continued doing healing ceremonies about three times a week. Every time, I was terrified. I would see monstrous visions and spirits. Once, I was forced inside the mouth—the size of a garage door—of a giant anaconda. I passed through diamond-shaped portals, going deeper and deeper, where I was introduced to mysteries.

During one ceremony, the spirits were comically bizarre. Microwave ovens, washing machines, and other appliances flew past jungle palms. The spirits in the trees said, “Oh, your quaint, cozy, oh-so-comfortable life. Hah! You stand at the abyss of nothingness and death.” They assaulted me, saying, “Become your own hero. Sink or swim. Sink or swim.”

Another night, we were on an island in the Pastaza River. Carlos was healing his aunt Tia, who had been suffering from hip and lower abdominal pains. He called, “Ven acá, Margarita.” Then he handed me a pair of rattles. A spirit jumped inside my body and began shaking my arm, sending healing energy into Tia. Then Carlos had me touch Tia’s uterus. A small child popped out from her groin and looked at Carlos and me. We looked at each other—Hey, you saw that, too? The girl flew into the bonfire and disintegrated. The next morning, Tia announced her pain was almost gone and said she had better range of motion.

...

RL: I understand that you experienced Carlos actually shape-shifting into a jaguar in a ceremony. Would you talk a little about that?

MDW: During my first healing with natem, a black jaguar stalked through the night. It paced, circled the healing area, and entered Carlos. The animal in him was seething with power. A growl rose from my throat as an aggressive female jaguar came into my body. My hands turned into paws, claws extended. Carlos and I were fighting. He tried to dominate me. I fought for territorial rights—for the right to survive. People were looking and scooting away. Cat sounds split the air.

A part of me witnessed these extraordinary feats. It’s indescribable to have a wild, untamable animal inside you. I was moving faster—and fighting better—than humanly possible. I had a fierce, unstoppable power. The jaguar in Carlos was wild and brutal. Eventually, Carlos smacked me on the head with a condor fan, and the jaguar left me. The next day, everyone talked about seeing the two jaguars.

trying to outrun five monstrous Jaguars will also try to make sure we don't get our legs bitten off by a Jacobs ladder gator monster

Mictecacihuatl was pacing as she saw her husband Mictlantecuhtli and then she saw the rest of the Aztec underworld council all whispering and murmuring to each other there was even some Mayan deities here they are also panicked as well.

she and Mictlantecuhtli were the rulers since the other gods were In need of a rule in order to manage the souls from both Maya and Aztecs they kept flooding in after the foreigners came and ruined everything so they thought that they were two good choices. 

"well, where is Xolotl?" asked Xocotl who was sitting next to the Mayan god Acolmiztli who was siting next to Techlotl who was half owl which was a elf owl. they all look to the king who sighs "Thanks to my wife's efforts three demigod people are coming over and he's guiding them here just stand the Fortress till they get here."

well then a I started moving in and they had the optic nerve still attached to them and then soon a lower jaw full of teeth arrived and then slowly as they waited human person arrived it was Remus the kid of Mars who died due to their brother being an absolute weirdo he was half wolf considering his affiliation with them and he could shape shift between human and wolf most the time he was like a satyr instead of a goat and a human it was a wolf and a human.

Remus always looked like and was a 28-year man. who had brown hair with streaks of gray hair his eyes were wild, and his grin even wilder he had a gold tooth on one of his canine teeth he also had a couple tattoos specifically one on his shoulder that was of one of an octopus.

he was wearing a tank top which was cropped around mid-torso and short which around mid-thighs, and he had fish nets on his legs that was in the middle of his legs and around the knees going to area. he was wearing a belt around his waist, and it also had a bunch of pouches on it and also two sheaths for two daggers.

he had wolf features similar their lower half often have goat features.

his wolf tail was grey, he had wolf ears on his human ears. he had some fur on his shoulders and neck, he had some scars on his nose and jaw. he also had a couple rings on his finger and a choker which had a silver squid. 

"hello everyone Alright it got a little bit more longer than i thought so I found out what's the problem what's causing the lockdown it is two Titans and about three demigod people that are still followers of Kronos it has been so long since the Kronos war situation and they're still going strong but they're not exactly in the Aztec underworld yet they are still stuck the in between areas of the tunnels leading from the Roman underworld to this underworld we are still fine but still keep it on lockdown." he looked sad and scared.

this causes an uproar of whispers murmurs mutters and growls, and all of their glares were focused on him he raised up his hands in defense and says, "don't blame me don't not shoot the Messenger it took me forever just to get past those people sorry." Mictlantecuhtli and Mictecacihuatl nodded, and she was sitting on her throne, and she spoke "well it is alright Remus."

Mictecacihuatl had a body a skeleton incased in skin of inky black that allowed the bones to seen. she had the Regal aura of Queen that you would expect but her husband did a very powerful dominating or around him even though he was relatively chill he was a very particular on how it's underworld and the souls inside of it was run.

she was wearing cloth which was in two parts one was the coat which was a cloak and shawl. on the top where the neck and head hole was blue, white skulls and she had a skull face, but it stopped around her top lip and there was white swirls and stripe on her jaw and chin. Jason was looking at her with the sun high in the sky which allowed them to see her better.

Her ears had dish which hung off of her ears and there was leave or feather shape hanging off the blueish grey dish there was a messy red dot in the middle of the disks. on her skirts was fringe same with the edges of shawl. The colors of the outfit were green, purple, blue and greyish.

The dress was close fitting but still hung on her form. Her hair was dark brown and down up with strips of blue fabric and on her head was crown with grey silver stones and small rat skulls. The crown was holding the first bubble in her hair and that had feathers on the back in the colors of purple, grey blue and blue.

Her eyes were warm burning amber, on the eyelids was an orange color and there something fluffy on the where the eyebrows would be. she just looked at her husband who finally stopped Pacing around like a warrior war and sat in town finally letting his worried nerves and muscles finally rest and he said Remus "go find some people to stop those people trying to break through." 

Remus nodded and then pulled his weird Cheshire cat disappearing act.

==

Jason was standing on the threshold between the actual space in them to do the challenge and the hallway behind them he thankfully had an unidentified amount of hours of sleep he felt way better even though his head still was kind of sore from getting clawed at and having bandages on it but thankfully it had collaborated enough so the blood wouldn't drain out of him but he still kept the bandages on his head but they had in fact used duct tape in order to keep them on.

his legs are still a lot we're a little bit shakier than usual, but Leo was watching the blood but both of them saw debris that looked an awful lot like the best friends their partners and their very close allies as body parts and heads and then they saw certain logs that reminded them too much of an alligator or a crocodile's snout.

Nico then spoke "so we're gonna have small bags of rocks tied to our ankles and we're supposed to run through that also not trying to die to the Jacob's ladder crocodile Gator Monster underneath the surface of blood ew that is disgusting."

Xolotl busted out laughing " So all of the years that the Jacob's Laboratory has been invented never have I heard them being used in such a manner." then Jason said, "where's our weapons?"

then Xolotl looks around and the down "look in front of you and look down at that step before you there should be some weapons there. Leo will get two considering he was given the obsidian and iron knife earlier."

then Leo asked, "what else?" he asked snarkier and more forceful he looked a little bit mad "OH about five multi-headed multi-limbed multi-tail jaguars, courtesy of smoking mirror."

well Nico looks at the blood where water should be and the smell of Warrington dying flush, I was also swarmed by the metallic and iron-like scent of blood it reminded him too much of Tartarus and asphodel. he looks at the other two and they didn't see the bruises and small scrapes on Leo, but the big head wound that Jason had plus more of his bruises and small lacerations and scrapes all over his body were concerning he was scared that both Leon Jason would die he wouldn't let that happen.

well, Xolotl was now Tying these small little bags of stones to each of their ankles, and he looked to Jason and said, "some of your wind powers will be useful but you still can't access most of your godly powers sorry." Jason nodded and accepted his possible fate of death. 

Nico felt the weight of the rocks on his ankles. he sighed and spoke "okay... i am ready." then Leo Readjust his tool belt said "well if I die do not forget me!" both Jason and Nico turned her in and said "no one is dying." 

then Xolotl spoke "okay you need to follow me by the fire light of the torture I'm holding and when I stop at a certain point you need to get there before you get before you die because this is not like if you were already dead." his voice was low and serious is this like growls of as they just noticed the same Jaguars that he had described earlier those were stone and there's like cracking as if something was waking up.

then Nico took the first few steps into the river of blood Leo followed in suit while Jason grabbed the weapons and gave them to Nico and Leo. Jason got a sword Nico got a club which had spikes of obsidian on them and looked as if he could do some heavy damage and Leo got more knives.

they were running and they were using the rocks as a way to guide them past these semi-strong currents of the blood water and the rocks thankfully were the safest to breed to use on as they saw body parts from all their friends and allies and even lovers they all knows though they all knew most of those were fake delusions but Nico was mostly frozen as he saw bit of will floating in the blood so Jason usually would pick up Nico as they walked slashed waddled through the blood.

"come on where is the--" and there was the squash of blood and when they all looked behind them with anticipation and fear they saw the monstrous Jaguars about 5 of them with teeth so sharp that they could probably cut through the hide of the lion which Hercules wore as clothing. then Nico curses in Italian as they picked up their speed for Jason it was a lot harder and slow for him thanks to the pounding of his heart now as they quickened their pace which did not help his head injury which he still was dealing with.

leo was screaming and starting to cry as he held up the knives and when he threw one at one of the jaguars it actually set their leg on fire which shocked everyone but no more time for that they had to escape they saw the flame of the torch of Xolotl running ahead and then Jason picks of both Nico and Leo thanks to his strength and his stature he was able to hold them underneath his arms as if he was holding a loaf of bread or a cat and he just booked it out of there even though the weight on his ankles thanks to the small rocks did not help anything.

he did not want Nico or Leo to be harmed so then when they got onto a rock which was flatter than the others he then threw them to the next patch of land which immediately as they were being thrown a snout of a Gator mouth joint thing snapped up almost catching Leo thankfully only 1 of the teeth grazed the skies leg where his pants did not cover right above his ankles.

Nico screamed as his ass hit the ground as he caught Leo as well they both turned around as they saw Leo as they saw Jason pull out one of his other swords that he had gotten from the steps and he just started slashing and hitting at 1 of the Monster Jaguars while the one that got hit with a fire knife that was and the knife was somehow back in Leo's hands the monster screaming and tried to put out the fire while the other three were starting to surround Jason.

then Nico screamed "fucking hell no!" then he got his club and then ran over and sprung it on one of the massive paws of the Jaguar which made it lose its balance which got him which gave him the ability to smack the club so hard on the cat's head with these spikes of the obsidian on the club to him squaring the skull and the cracking of bone could be heard from that then Jason finally able to save both him and Nico.

so he grabbed Nico had done the same way he did before the room back on that patch of land and just jump from that stone all the way over he was also nearly killed by that crocodile snout joint thing.

Leo was desperately trying to help them as he collected the other two knifes he got plus the new iron and obsidian one he had gotten from the first challenge and as Jason said panting almost really exhausted he said "all right that's enough let's go let's go just keep running do not look back I will defend your business can Nico and Leo do not look back whatever you don't... do not look back and try to help me OK I will do this myself." the Jason was cut off "but no you--" Leo was cut off by Jason as they were running "You have to listen to me Leo this is a do or die situation!"

and that should up both of them as all three we're now running in the water not caring if they actually snapped on a snout of a crocodile or gator joint mouth thing.

then Leo Had the Superb genius plan made in pure desperation and fear and adrenaline high was to smoke bomb the blood he grabbed him to the smoke bombs lit the dang thing threw it so hard into the water and it actually caused the majority of the joints that had the mouths on them just snap up and annoyance as these stinging smoke probably hit their eyes.

Jason yelled "fucking hell!" the grabs Leo as he is almost killed by one of the mouths as it almost shut down around his leg like a bear trap jason then uses a bit of his wind power to give himself a little bit of a boost as he throws them to the next nearest safe rock as he literally stabs the crocodiles mouth the top of its entire skull and then books it.

they both saw his fear In the set of Jupiter's eyes they both wanted to help but they had one goal surviving they did get bruises and scrapes from being touched and being thrown and running and bumping into debris like wood seaweed which made them trip a little bit but the smell of rotting flesh and iron and metallic like this metallic scent from the blood and the bodies overwhelmed their sense of smell.

"come on Jason!" yelled Leo. Leo was regretting a ever lighting that bomb on fire it was going to doom his best friend to die.

leo was panicking his breath soon picked up but then Leo was smacked by Nico "this is not a time to panic we can panic when we get out of here!" he yelled desperation tears welled up in his eyes as they ran through the blood through the bodies and debris making sure they didn't die to the bear trap mouths of this monster deep underneath the blood Leo then turned him and yelled "but then Jason's gonna die!?" fire was gathering on his palms and neck.

"well you'll die out soon and you are caught panicking!" yelled Nico with fear and anger they both were breathing heavily as they ran they saw the flickering fire of the torch their safety they were halfway there he turned around once and they saw Jason running and stabbing the Jaguars that followed them.

Leo set the blade part of his knives on fire and threw it back onto the Jaguars they hit with relatively accurate mostly sticking to the haunches the back legs and the front legs of these monsters the one that had been set on fire first came back with more ferocity more anger they could hear the snarls the growls and the hissing of these Jaguars.

which was powered their fear and adrenaline more the lakes were getting numb, but they could not stop running as more of these bear trap mouthed joint things continued to go off the more, they had to zip around if they were panic rabbits.

then Nico went back to one of the rocks as grab the hand of Leo as they see other one of these bear trap mouth Snap up almost catching Leo's back parts of his legs it was Achilles tendon. the blood Made small waves which crashed up against this bigger rock and the eyes of that part of the creature blinked with anger so tried to go up more, but Leo said his palm on fire and burnt a handbrake onto the monster which causes it to crash back down into the blood they were both on the rock.

Leo then starts to laugh and cry as he yells "Jason is going to die! and it's all my fault you cope if I hadn't made the smoke bomb we wouldn't have this." he gestures out openly to the monster Cipactli which was trying to kill Jason and the Jaguars are time teaming the monster then Jason yelled stabbing one of the mouths taking out the sword and then running using his wind powers he was still able to use.

he moved himself to the rock with the other two kids were even though they were well adults they were still children crying on a rock because of the monster is trying to kill them.

Jason then grabbed both of them in his arms and started to run and he said we're going to live and then as he jumped onto another flat piece of land which was a safe area for them to catch the rough bed before he collapsed.

they were 2/3 of the way there but then one of the mouths grabbed at Jason's arm the back part thankfully Leo grabbed one of his knives the obsidian and iron one and stabbed it into the snout of this creature.

They got a better look at it looks like a part date or part alligator part fish and there were millions of jaws on every single joint of its body it was huge it was truly a Jacob's ladder crocodile fish gator it made them all sick as they all ran again not caring if they're beating lung if their lungs burned with a lack of oxygen they needed to run.

Nico almost stumbled into the blood but Jason grabbed him by his shirt hoisted him over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes as he had Leo underneath his arm and he just ran did not care for his own legs screamed for rest screamed for a break he kept pushing forward and forward he would not let his two best friends who he see who he saw as brothers die he could prevent it even if it costed his own life.

then he spoke "oh please lady Salus please protect us!" he says as they ran and got bruises from the rocks and other debris and Nico continued to panic more finally letting this panic attack settle in as he saw more and more body parts as lover at will he couldn't let that happen and Jason was panting his lungs screamed for air his throat screamed for water and his heart screamed for him to stop his head ached as he felt his heart even beating up there like a war drum.

they finally got to the last leg only a couple more feet of running and they saw one of the Jaguars swipes at the bleeding wound on Jason's arm but instead it got his back on his left side of his ribs on his back.

this causes him to throw the other two and Leo screams as he hits the safe and end of the challenge.

He had several bleeding scrape scrapes and cuts from the rocks debris from his own knives and from the claws and teeth that got him Jason was still out there fighting with 2 bleeding wounds but finally was able to grab him and grab him thankfully they were able to get to safety and when they finally got to the safety where their guide was Jason just collapsed and Leo just sat down his and swaying a little bit as he let his lungs get air Nico just went to a full on panic attack.

"Hey Nico, we did it." spoke Leo who had Several minor averages and a little bit severe wounds and injuries he had a black eye for he landed on one of the rocks he had a bleeding nose several scrapes, cuts and open wounds like that.

Jason looked worse his shirt now staying with blood also parts of his shirt was missing from the Jaguar the clawed atom he looked dazed as he put his head on the ground and rest, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath in and out. Nico was breathing Unevenly and dangerously so Leo held both of his hands and squeezed both of them as Leo was breathing steadily which helped Nico calm down.

Nico was still shaking and panicked he was Still worrying about will think I could die in his body to literally be in that river of blood for all they know but Leo's warm dark slightly broken and scarred hands still squeezed his own as Leo still breathed deeply in and out as an anchor to Nico who was slowly started to feel better but he just let the tears fall he was so tired and this was only challenged too this was challenge two that was concerning this was only challenge number two. Leo looked to Jason who was now passed out which made him panic a little bit then Xolotl check his Heartbeat on his wrist and nap nodded and said Don't worry he isn't dead he's just unconscious. 

Leo turned to Nico and said "Will is still at camp half-blood we are safe and sound Xolotl is holding the fire and we have met him with that fire."

Xolotl sighed "oh my chaos... this was the worst way this challenge goes..." he looked so sad and Nico sighs and then he asked Now looking at their blood stained and partially ripped up clothing that's what the clothing situation cause I don't think the rulers of this underworld are going to like us bare without clothing."

"well when we get through the next few hallways we will met Chantico who often leaves clothing and Bandages and stuff like that in the hallways but considering us deities of our pantheon we were always injured in some fashion our clothes were always torn she just never broke the habit and we don't have the heart to tell her to stop thankfully it's good today we still do need the extra bandages and clothing," then he sat down near them and spoke "we usually don't give it out to the mortals cause they're usually dead at this point yeah come on no correction we're gonna wait a little bit for you guys to calm down your breeding hearts cause I can hear them from all the way over here he spoke with his kind but slightly still snarky tone of voice.

"thanks Xolotl." spoke Leo he looked to a tried Nico, and he spoke "rest we don't have to run to the next one yet." he was Smiling calm and warm smile but internally he was panicking he didn't want to die either he just feared that he would fail if he wasn't moral support he was the jokester the one who laughed and cracked jokes and was goofy the moral support not the one who cried and was insecure he was Leo Valdez the very strong child of Hephaestus he wasn't some wimp but a strong tinkerer so he sucked all his negative emotions and bottle them up.

Nico nodded and said "i am fine but you are more wounded than me he said making a wry smile which was pained and forced Leo said "pffft you're wrong I'm the least injured."

Father Madrigal & the Pagan

🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍

Writing from inspiration from another blog. Bruno Madrigal fled all those years ago and decided to join the church. He returns to the Encanto a fully fledged man of the cloth. But a newly arrived pagan tests his patience and sanity.

CW/TW: religious themes, etc

"Señora Guzmon, when you said that the Madrigals hosted breakfast, I thought you meant it was open to the community. Won't I be intruding?"

"Oh nonsense, Mariano and I come every Sunday."

"Dolores' family are very generous, I'm sure they won't mind," Mariano added in. He had joined us after the sermon.

"Mariano!" A girl wearing a red bow on her head called out.

"I heard you a mile away. Your guest is welcome. Though we are still waiting on Abuela." She squeaked, taking Mariano's arm.

"You must be Dolores," I tried making conversation.

She nodded, "If you need anything, all you need to do is ask."

She tilted her head.

"Ah, Abuela's coming. I need to let the family know."

She and Mariano quickened their pace. I was left with señora Guzmon.

"How did she know Abuela was on her way?"

"Oh, my dear, she heard her."

"Say what?"

"She has super hearing. They have an entire song about it. You'll learn soon enough." She patted my hand as we continued at her pace.

I finally sensed the magic. I could feel the frequency, smell the magic foods. I don't know why I didn't pick up on any of it before.

We were getting close to the front steps of la casa Madrigal when the very rocks beneath us shifted.

Tiles started clattering and flying. I thought it was coming down.

"My dear, Casita won't harm you," Señora Guzmon told me, steadying me.

"What do you mean Casita won't harm me?" I arched an eyebrow.

There was more clattering from beneath our feet.

"You're new!" Another young woman came down on vines. Those weren't there a second ago.

"Where did those vines come from?"

"I grew them, of course. I'm Isabela," she smiled with pride.

"Oh, oh, is that the Guzmon's guest?" A girl with green glasses nearly tumbled out of nowhere.

"Yes, this is she," Señora Guzmon patted my back, "she's new here."

"Let us give you a tour, there's still ti-"

"Abuela is bringing tío Bruno!" Dolores yelled out from somewhere. Isabela and the girl with green glasses paused. This must be of some significance.

"How'd she manage that?" A higher pitched voice asked, thunder rolling despite the fact there wasn't a cloud in the sky.

"Sounds like a big deal," I said aloud.

"Tío has been gone for ten years. Even when he arrived in town he only visited and hasn't come to visit us once," the girl with the glasses turned to answer.

"I'm Mirabel by the way, if you need anything, don't be afraid to ask!"

"Well I'm going to spruce up the place," Isabela raised her arms and all manner of plants burst forth.

"My dear, are you alright? You look sick if you don't mind my saying so," Señora Guzmon said to me.

"I-I need some fresh air. Excuse me," I nearly ran out.

I sat down at one of the benches outside. My senses were in overdrive, the onslaught of Madrigal magic overwhelming.

"Maybe I'm imagining things," I took my hat and started fanning myself.

"Not a chance," I saw myself walk up to the bench and sit down next to me.

I dropped my hat and my jaw.

My double merely laughed.

"I'm Camilo," he reappeared as himself.

"Y-you just... I-I was..." I reeled back.

"Oh my goodness, I'm so sorry señorita, I thought you knew, please don't faint-"

"Faint? Whose fainting?" I said as I blacked out.

•••••

"Aye! Antonio, could you bring some smelling salts? We've got a fainter," Camilo called out.

Antonio brought the smelling salts, riding his jaguar friend.

Camilo wafted the smelling salts under the stranger's nose.

"She's coming to!" Antonio pointed, still on top of his jaguar.

•••••

I woke, my head absolutely killing me and the familiar smell of smelling salts assaulting my senses.

I opened my eyes to see I was face to face with a very, very large cat.

Everything went dark again.

•••••

"Dios mio," Camilo smacked his forehead.

"What are you two doing out here?" Julieta came out, "we're getting ready fo- Camilo! Did you make another person faint?"

"Well, this time it was the jaguar," he retorted.

"Just leave her here, I'll go get-" she stopped mid sentence. She had heard her brother was coming back for a visit and she had just heard Casita's doors open and her mother talking.

"He's here! My goodness, he's here!" Julieta turned on her heel and ran for the door.

•••••

"We've missed you so much!" Pepa scooped up her little brother, Julieta coming in behind her.

"I've missed you, too," he hugged his sisters back. He felt his mother join the group hug. Then his inlaws. And his sobrinas. He was at the center of a giant Madrigal hug.

He was finally put down when his sisters stepped back. They looked at his priest garb.

Everyone went quiet.

"He goes by Father Madrigal now," Abuela said with an air of attitude.

"What made you join the order?" Julieta asked.

The one question Bruno had dreaded.

"Because my gift wasn't helping anyone. I'm able to actually help people now," he tried to skirt around the bigger, deeper reasons.

"Tía! What do you want us to do with the lady who fainted?" Camilo called out.

"Ohmygosh, I forgot-"

"Camilo! Did you make someone else faint?" Pepa cut off her sister.

"It was the jaguar!" He whined.

"Camilo! Tío Brun-"

"Father Madrigal," Abuela cut off Mirabel.

"Father Madrigal is here!" Mirabel called out. Camilo and Antonio passed Julieta coming to help the stranger who'd fainted on the bench.

"I feel like I'm in trouble," Camilo rubbed the back of his neck.

•••••

I came to alone. I took a deep breath as a woman in an apron approached.

"I'm so sorry, today has been rather busy,"

"I should go, I've intruded-"

"No, no, we weren't prepared for... my brother came back today. We haven't seen him in some time. Please, eat this," she handed me something like bread, but fluffy.

I bit into a cheesy round bread.

"Thank you, but I think I should visit another time," I say to the kind woman with sad eyes.

"Are you sure you are able to walk home?" She helped me back inside.

"Yes, I ju - " to my horror, the tiles beneath me clattered and carried me out of the kitchen we had walked into. I could hear the woman scolding Casita as she chased after me.

I was carried right through to the main floor, through a group of people chatting and practically thrown at the priest!

"I'm so so sorry, I have no idea -" I begin to apologize profusely.

"No, no, I'm sorry, I know it wasn't you," he apologized over my apologies.

I offered my hand to help him up, and he took it gratefully. I couldn't help but notice we were equal height as he stood up.

The damned house shifted us into each other again.

"Sorry, sorry -"

"You have nothing to apologize for-"

A third time, Casita shoved us into each other. I was completely overwhelmed.

This time, it knocked the wind out of my lungs. I began to fall backward till a strong, firm hand caught my wrist and another on my waist.

He gasped. It was quiet, but I definitely heard it.

"What, what? Am I bleeding-" I started feeling around my face and neck.

"No, no it's- you and I arrived on the same train."

"That's right, you helped me pass over the ridge when my donkey wouldn't go through."

He nodded, his eyes still on me.

"I-I need to get going. It was nice meeting you all! I'll see you at home señora Guzmon!"

I rushed out the door before that bizarre house could throw me like a rag doll for the fourth time.

•••••

"CASITA!" multiple people shouted.

"What was that about?" Señora Guzmon asked.

Casita remained silent. How were they going to punish a house?

Julieta had an idea, but decided to wait to share her suspicion.

She waited till after the awkward breakfast and after Father Madrigal accompanied Señora Guzmon back to her home.

"Pepa, a sec-" Julieta pulled her sister to the side.

"Do you remember how you met Félix?"

"Of course, he bumped into me when we were hosting our 15th birthday."

"And how I met Augustín?"

"He bumped-" Pepa's eyes grew wide, "he bumped into you at our 16th."

"Did they really "bump" into us or did Casita do that?" Julieta whispered.

"Are you saying Casita was throwing that poor woman at our brother because..."

"Maybe. It's just an interesting coincidence, don't you think?"

Reveal: The Jaguar I-PACE Black

The Jaguar I-PACE has achieved global recognition and won multiple awards for its outstanding design. Now, the all-electric performance SUV’s appeal is heightened still further by the creation of the I-PACE Black special editions.

These exclusive new additions to the I-PACE range benefit from an enhanced specification over the SE & HSE models on which they are based & includes the Black Pack, panoramic roof & privacy glass.

The clean, contemporary look is accentuated by the gloss black finish of the 20-inch 5-spoke wheels. The I-PACE Black models are available in a range of colors including metallic paints as standard.

Like every model in the range, the I-PACE Black models offers a wealth of technology designed to make every journey simpler and more enjoyable. The Pivi Pro infotainment system is ready to go by the time you’re in the driving seat and is as intuitive to use as your smartphone. The EV navigation can show if nearby charging stations are available or in use, the type of connector they have, what they cost, and how long it will take to charge. On long drives, Pivi Pro can also show your predicted charge level at each waypoint.

Pivi Pro has an embedded SIM and a 4G data plan for unlimited music streaming and the Smartphone Pack with Apple CarPlay is standard. Android Auto is also standard. To make smartphone connectivity even more convenient and seamless, wireless versions of both will soon become available to customers in a software-over-the-air (SOTA) update – the I-PACE's SOTA capability meaning its infotainment and vehicle systems can always be updated remotely and seamlessly. In addition, the I-PACE can connect two phones simultaneously, and an optional wireless device charging pad beneath the ‘floating’ center console features a signal booster to improve network reception and Wi-Fi.

With a focus on air quality, occupant comfort and well-being are prioritized, with cabin air ionization now featuring PM2.5 filtration to capture ultrafine airborne particles and allergens. The I-PACE can even filter its cabin air before you begin a journey.

The ClearSight digital rear-view mirror gives the driver an unobstructed view of the road behind, even with rear-seat passengers or a fully loaded luggage compartment. It uses a wide-angle, rear-facing camera linked to a screen behind the mirror: a switch allows the driver to choose between the standard view or the camera feed.

On long motorway journeys Adaptive Cruise Control with Steering Assist enhances driver comfort by gently assisting steering, acceleration and braking to center the vehicle in lane while maintaining a set distance from vehicles ahead.

With two Jaguar-designed electric motors at each axle, producing exceptional combined performance of 400PS and 696Nm, aluminum construction and a low center of gravity, the I-PACE offers an unrivalled balance of all-wheel drive performance, refinement, luxury and agility – together with outstanding real-world range and day-to-day usability.

I-PACE’s 11kW on-board charger makes home charging faster and more convenient for customers with three-phase electricity supplies. When plugged in to an 11kW wall box, up to 33 miles of range per hour can be achieved. A full charge takes only 8.6 hours – ideal for overnight charging. Customers using single phase 7kW wall boxes can achieve up to 22 miles of charge per hour; a full charge takes 12.75 hours.

I-PACE’s Preferred Charging Period feature enables customers to set a desired start and finish time for charging – helping them to take advantage of the reduced rate electricity tariffs available in many markets. Soon, via a SOTA update, this feature will offer even greater flexibility by allowing them to set a specific state-of-charge they want the battery to reach – 80 per cent, for example.

When charging ‘on the go’, 100kW DC chargers can add up to 78 miles of range in just 15 minutes; 50kW chargers add up to 39 miles over the same period.

In creating the I-PACE, Jaguar tore up the rule book to deliver the first and best electric vehicle of its kind. It offers customers around the world an unrivalled balance of all-wheel drive performance, refinement, luxury and agility – together with outstanding real-world range and day-to-day usability.

A global success today and the recipient of 88 global automotive awards – including the triple accolades of 2019 World Car of the Year, World Car Design of the Year and World Green Car – the I-PACE is also a precursor to the all-electric Jaguars of tomorrow. From 2025 Jaguar will be a reimagined, pure electric luxury brand with a dramatically beautiful new portfolio of emotionally engaging designs and pioneering next-generation technologies.
