[mordet-comic]

I’ve had this in my head for forever and knew without doubt I had to do something with Mordet and this song. I love my animatics of course so ended up making a fake “Season 1″ anime opening.

Its obviously still in the rough stages but concept-wise I’m super happy with how it turned out. Who knows if or when I’ll give it a proper finished polish but if I manage to find/keep the motivation to do it I really look forward to the results!

This song is an English cover by Jonathan Young of “The World” from Death Note.

On this day:

DIAMOND OF DOOM

On December 14, 1967, Evalyn McLean, who never gained possession of the Hope Diamond bequeathed to her, nevertheless seemed to have acquired its curse, for she unexplainably died. Her grandmother had purchased the gem in 1911 and lived a life of tragedy: an automobile mishap killed her young son, her daughter committed suicide, and her husband was unfaithful and mentally unstable. She died in 1947, willing the diamond to her grandchildren, but her jewels were sold to pay off her debts.

The Hope Diamond was rumored to have begun as a 112-carat gem pried from the third eye of an Indian deity and brought to France in the mid-1600s by merchant traveler Jean-Baptiste Travernier. Over the years it possessed and was possessed by the French royal family, who were victims of intrigue, embezzlement, and executions; and Cadet Guillot, a thief who stole the diamond during the French Revolution, smuggled it to England, and was imprisoned. The diamond then disappeared until just after the statute of limitations on its theft had expired.

In 1812 diamond merchant Daniel Eliason sold it to Philip Hope, Dutch heir to a banking fortune. The diamond bred bitterness and bedlam in the Hope family for two generations before being sold to pay off debt to Simon Frankel, a New York jeweller. Other rumored owners of the Hope Diamond include:

* King George IV of Britain;

* Simon Montharides, who died with his family when his horse spooked and overturned their carriage;

* A Turkish sultan, who stabbed his wife and was overthrown;

* Two unnamed murdered owners;

* Jacques Celot, a French broker who went insane and killed himself;

* A Russian prince, Ivan Kanitovski, who gave the diamond to his mistress, an actress who was shot onstage while wearing it; Kanitovski himself was later murdered.

Finally, in 1911, Pierre Cartier who sold it to Evalyn Walsh McLean, who let her dog wear the diamond when she wasn't. The diamond’s final owner, Harry Winston, didn't believe in the curse. He mailed it in a brown paper bag as a donation to the Smithsonian Institution in 1958.

[astarionsilverbough]

it all goes fast (like a call to faith)

{prompt fill for @justanerdalltheway who requested numbers 11, 24 and 25 off this list

title from the song big bad city by evalyn

i hope you enjoy it, love! i didn't know how these two reunited in the brief Between after Halsin broke our dear vampire's heart and Before astarion died, but now we do.}

He's never known home.

Not in the traditional sense, anyway. The natural world has many definitions of the term but none come close to the unnaturalness of cities or towns. Permanent settlements are an invention of thinking creatures; while many packs or herds call the same plains or forests or deserts their territory, that territory is subject to change multiple times throughout the year.

For most animals, the pack or herd itself was as close to home as anything else. It was not the physical place, but the connections amongst them that defined the term.

So it was also for Halsin.

Home was not a place, but:

" 'And did the lasses go dancing,

Dancing, aye, and did the lads go drinking,

Drinking, aye, and did the hounds go hunting,

a Hunting'," hums a low, soft voice at the end of the hall. Oh, that voice. It was the true north of his compass, the guiding star that led him -

Well.

How long had it been since he last heard it?

" 'And the lasses went a-dancing,

And the lads a-drinking,

And the hounds a-hunting,

But my heart went wandering,

A-wandering'," and -

"Astarion?"

The young elf looks up and those brilliant golden eyes go wide. A wild litany of emotions unravels across his face; oh, but that face. It's sharper now, delicate features finally fully grown into. His soft white curls are artfully teased in the effortless way and his nimble fingers are adorned with delicate golden rings that make them look even longer than they are.

He still keeps his mother's amulet hidden under his clothes.

When Halsin steps into the office, Astarion takes a step back. The druid halts and opens his mouth, but nothing comes out. Astarion slowly shuts the tome he'd been pouring over and sets it on the bookshelf a tad absently. It's teetering on the edge, but before Halsin can say anything about it, Astarion finds his voice again.

"Halsin?" he breathes. He's wearing a dark doublet embroidered with golden peacocks down the front. It doesn't suit him. The collar's too high and the fabric too stiff, unbreathable and tight.

It looks more like something his father would wear.

"Forgive me," Halsin utters, and now the emotions are beginning to spin into a storm inside him, because it's been nineteen years since he's seen this face and it's sharper and Astarion stands like his father now and he wears clothes his father would wear and Halsin -

"Forgive me," he says again, clearing his throat, "I - your father said you'd been made a magistrate. Your assistant let me in."

Astarion's expression does something complex before settling on a feigned pout. "Halsin, I'm hurt," he says, "you went to see father first?"

His stomach launches into his chest and Halsin huffs a laugh. "It was not on purpose, I assure you - I was in Reithwin just for supplies," he says as Astarion watches him with something akin to a predator's gleam in his sunlit eyes, "but I ran into him at Last Light and he told me you were in Baldur's Gate, so... here I am."

"You came to this cesspool of a city just to see me?" Astarion asks incredulously.

"Of course," Halsin says with a huff of laughter. "Did I not tell you we would meet again, little star?"

Astarion's lips part. Some of the softness he remembers creeps back into the elf's gaze. His shoulders drop a fraction and he relaxes, fingertips lighting on the book. Unbalanced, it drops to the floor. Halsin moves on instinct as Astarion jumps a bit, one hand fluttering to his own chest. The druid stoops to pick the tome up from the ground and when he straightens up, Astarion is -

There.

Mere inches away.

He smells - Silvanus preserve him, he smells exactly the same, like bourbon and sunlight and the rosemary oil he puts in his hair to help it grow. It's intoxicating, enough to get Halsin's head spinning like he's had a bit too much of his favorite smoking leaf. He looks up at Halsin through thick silver lashes and Halsin watches his throat work around a hard swallow.

"You did at that," Astarion says quietly. "Well - here you are. I - am woefully unprepared for company, but would you like to join me for a drink?"

"Ah," Halsin says, "I rarely imbibe these days."

Astarion arches a brow. "I never said you had to drink," he drawls, "come now, darling - you broke my heart, you know. The least you could do is lavish me with your relentless charm for an hour or two before you run back to whatever cozy little den you're wintering in this year."

Oh, but that wicked tongue has grown even deadlier. Halsin's thighs tense. His cock stirs and his gut swirls. Tilting his head, he smiles and murmurs, "and I never said I wasn't joining you. Lead the way, little star. You always do."

The grin that spreads over Astarion's face is the most brilliant thing Halsin's seen in nineteen years.

They step out of the building as a gust of wind sweeps past. Autumn is slowly loosening her grasp on the world; soon it will be winter. Leaves dance around their feet and one ends up waltzing all the way up to Astarion's hair. Reaching out, Halsin plucks the wayward plant from those snowy curls and barely resists the urge to card his fingers through them.

"Oh - well, thank you," Astarion purrs, stealing the leaf to twirl it between thumb and forefinger. "I'd hate to strut about looking the fool. Perhaps having someone so bloody tall around is a good idea."

"I don't think it's possible for you to look the fool, Star."

Astarion snorts and lets the leaf slip through his grasp with the next gust of bracing wind. "Well, you clearly don't recall how tipsy I was at the Shieldmeet."

I do, Halsin thinks with a soft smile. You told me I looked handsome when I smoked and I fell in love with the way the moon looked in your eyes.

Halsin offers his arm.

Astarion takes it.

"So, tell me," Astarion says after a beat of comfortable silence, "what has the great druid Halsin been up to? Hopefully none of these new scars were earned in the effort to escape randy bears."

Halsin barks out a laugh. "No," he chuckles, "I might be a slow learner, but I do learn. There have been no more misunderstandings between nature and me. I've been doing what I've always done - gone where the Oak Father bids me. I've ridden the high seas and I've traversed untouched wilds."

"Those better not be euphemisms."

"And if they were?"

"Oh, no judgment from me, I assure you," Astarion drawls, and though his mask is almost pristine, Halsin can see the edge in his gaze when he looks at him. "At least, not for the truth. They were just god-awful if they were. Ridden the high seas? Please. You sound like a penny novel."

"I am fond of them," Halsin admits. Astarion's smile is small, private. He pats Halsin's hand.

"I know, darling."

"And what about you?" the druid hears himself ask.

"What have I been up to? Or am I going to have to invent some euphemisms of my own on the spot?"

There's no going back. "Yes to both," he says carefully. He's no right to ask - no right to pry into any aspect of Astarion's life. Not now.

But then a smug, knowing little smirk crosses Astarion's lips and he squeezes Halsin's arm. "Oh, I've been the untouched wilds and I've ridden the highest seas. Both adventures left much to be desired, I'm afraid. I am, much to my father's chagrin, a professional bachelor. He's beginning to worry I'm unmarriable."

The knot in Halsin's gut loosens. Butterflies fill his lungs. Astarion watches him like he can hear them. "Ah," he says neutrally.

"Mmm. Ah indeed," Astarion hums. "As for what I've been up to - well. I'm sure your tales are far better than mine, darling. I became a magistrate at the tender age of twenty-four and... Here I am still."

"Do you still play the violin?" Halsin asks quietly. Astarion's jaw ticks and his fingers flex subtly against Halsin's arm.

"I hardly have time these days," he says with a fleeting smile.

Halsin's throat tightens. "Well," he says, "it's a lucky thing, then, that you've all the time in the world ahead of you. I should like to hear you play again, little star."

They slow to a halt in the middle of the idly busy street. When Astarion looks up at him, Halsin forgets the chill of autumn. That gaze is warmer than any hearth, softer than any pillow full of down; Astarion's eyes gleam from the inside out and Halsin -

Halsin is home.

"Well," Astarion murmurs, reaching up to gently tuck a stray lock of hair behind Halsin's ear, "you'll have to stick around for a bit, then, won't you?"

He thumbs over Halsin's jaw, the shell of his hear; it takes all his not-inconsiderable strength not to sweep Astarion into a kiss then and there.

"At least for a drink," Halsin says quietly.

Astarion's lips curve into a gentle smile.

"A fine way to start," he says.

It is.

And they have all the time in the world.

He's home.

THE INVITATION (P 1/3) (fan fic)

Should this series continue?! Comment, like and reblog!

Synopsis: On the verge of flunking out of law school, a close friend encourages Evalyn Grier, a high performing HBCU and Ivy League scholar who has had her share of panic attacks, to get her head out of the books to finally have some fun! Her friend Meghan, a young journalist and socialite, convinces her that she believes a night out would allow her to unwind so that she can come back to her studies strong! But when she has a night she can’t remember, Evalyn finds herself trying to piece together how she woke up on the other side of the country in Los Angeles with Chadwick Boseman.

Year: 2018

Meghan eyeballed her close friend with annoyance in her glare. Evalyn sat with her legs crossed, reading through a document on her second computer screen completely unaware that she had become a target. She even had the nerve to start humming. Completely satisfied.

“This has to stop,” Meghan rose and crossed the condominium lounge. “You have to clear your mind to come back to all of this refreshed. It’ll help with your focus so that you can finish strong,” she slipped her phone in the back pocket of her jeans. “One minute you’re freaking out about how you’re going to flunk classes that have barely started. The next, you’re humming in miserable bliss,”

“Humming is the sound of—”

“Boredom,”

“Meghan, please, don’t—,”

The laptop was pressed shut. Meghan kept a manicured hand a top it’s warm surface as she scowled down at Evalyn, a friend of seven years. “You did not move out here to work your life away,”

“I literally moved here for law school. Two of the same,”

“Oh, really? Because I happen to recall a friend calling me and telling me she had two acceptance letters and that she would choose the option closest to her best friend to ‘have a little fun.’ Hell, if I knew what you meant by little, I would have told you to go elsewhere,” she bucked her eyes. “It’s Friday, the weather is sexy and we’re stuck inside a lounge with fluorescent lights and no windows!”

“I just need to finish this last assignment and reading. You know how hard Dr. Kirk’s courses have been for me. I’m afraid I’m going to flunk this course,”

“Reminder: The course just started,”

“I have to get a hold of it now so that I don’t drown later. If I finish the reading by 9 tonight —,”

“Nope, I’m not falling for that again. You’re going out tonight and you’re getting ready now. Get up. Let’s go upstairs to your condo. Better yet, let’s go to mine. I have something you can wear,”

“Wear where?”

“We were invited to a private event,”

“Private? And who extended this invitation,”

“The man I have been dating for two months. Now, come on, get up,” Meghan grabbed the computer and the one beneath it. Evalyn struggled to keep up, snatching her pens, papers and journals from the color-blocking red, white and cream sofa that was much too stiff for comfort. “Excuse us,” Meghan cheesed at a man they had never seen before that she nearly bumped into when stepping out into the bright hall. When she came to a halt, Evalyn bumped into her from behind. Pens rolled and hit the floor. She struggled to retrieve them. Meghan looked over her shoulder, smiling, “You see, the night already feels promising. Let’s go.”

* * *

Evalyn adjusted the black leather skirt. While she didn’t mind the black top showing off what she worked hard to keep, she still felt a little exposed with the leather hugging her hips. Much different from the boyfriend jeans she’d gotten used to wearing. Though, her legs were her favorite assets, so she did like how the skirt teased around her thighs and how the strap stilettos on her feet kissed her toned calves. All black, nearly down to black toenail polish Meghan tried to make her put on in replacement to her ol’ faithful red. That, she refused. She loved her red polish. She loved them that much more inside of the open-toe stilettos.

Meghan was gorgeous. She went with a smokey eye and dark lipstick that complemented her thick black hair that was sleek in the front and falling down her back with no sight of a curl or strand of hair out of place. Evalyn got back in the mirror to apply her red lipstick and teased at her bangs and curls. Meghan leaned over the counter top close by. She sung to herself while slipping on a pair of black earrings.

“Are those diamonds? They’re beautiful!”

She smiled at Evalyn’s reflection, “A gift,”

“From this two month mystery man who has no name?”

“You’ll meet him tonight,”

“Really,”

“Oh, let’s turn that up!” She dashed for the SmartTV remote, leaned into the living room from the guest bathroom and blasted its volume. “Girl, tonight is going to be [inaudible]!”

“What?! I can’t hear you over Juvenile!”

She twirled, leaning over with her hands on her knees. “This song never gets old! Girl, you have to loosen up tonight!”

“In THIS leather?!”

“I got something that will help you,” she twerked to the beat before bouncing upward and disappearing in her bedroom. She came back with a blunt and a small bag of candy. “Edibles or blunt,”

“No, no, no,” Evalyn shook her head, putting her hands up in defense. “Neither, I can’t.”

Meghan rolled her eyes. “More for me and a couple of friends,” she stuffed both into her purse. Pulled out her phone and thumbed at it. A grin parted her lips. “Here,” she shoved her phone back in her purse and hurried to the kitchen. “Let’s at least take a shot before the driver comes!”

“Meghan,” Evalyn whined, watching her friend pour a double shot in two full drinking glasses on the kitchen island.

“You don’t understand what’s about to happen tonight do you,” Meghan laughed. “Girl, we were invited to an industry party. Do you know whose going to be there?!”

“My guess? People in the industry?” Evalyn eyed the glass raised for her to take.

“Do you want to be there standing in a corner like a cactus watching everyone have fun or do you want to be a part of the festivities?”

“What kind of party is it exactly,”

“Does it matter,” she smirked. “Did you even hear what I said?”

“What’s up with the black? Don’t get me wrong, black is sexy and always a vibe but what’s the theme?”

She smirked again. “It’s a surprise. Now, come on,” she shoved the drink forward for Evalyn to take. She lifted her glass.

Evalyn waited.

“Come on, E, take the glass. Don’t be like that,”

“Tell me something other than it’s an industry party,”

She rolled her eyes, lowering both glasses. “Spoil the surprise?” Meghan exhaled, but was too excited to be bothered. “Premiere after party for Black Panther here in New York,”

Evalyn’s eyes bulged.

“I’ve been trying to get you out all day to attend the screening,” she raised her glass for the second time.

Evalyn followed suit. “Say no more,”

Meghan grinned. “That a girl,” she winked. “To a memorable and sexy night.”

Evalyn held back a grin. Both women clinked their glasses, lowered them to tap the surface of the counter and tossed them back.

It was one of the last things she remembered.

[afrenchaugurey]

I was supposed to work this morning, instead I began another OS for the young Newt series...

And what was supposed to be a short introduction (as the series is centered around Newt and his grandparents, not his parents) is already up to 2K... But I love baby Newt 🤷 (Yes, this is my only defense)

Unfortunately, her husband was right, and Evalyn began seeking Newt, who, of course, didn’t suspect that with the return of summer weather came the inescapable social events. As often always, the showering process turned out to be challenging, and accompanied with disapproval. 

“Don’t want a shower Mum… It hurts.”

“Foal, we have to. Your father’s reception begins in one hour. We don’t have time for a bath.” Newt pouted, a sound midway between a grinding and a moan coming out of his throat. 

“Love, what about … let me think … we add some aquatic glow-worms to the water ?” asked Evalyn. 

She took her wand to gush a few of them, imprisoned in little drops of water. In an instant, the young wizard’s focus redirected to the droplets whose shape changed with the moves of the creatures inside. The latter gleamed with a golden-brown light, which sometimes flickered. The child, flabbergasted, looked at them with his head tilted, as if he wanted to memorize them forever. Fascinated, he raised his hand to one of the magical bulbs made of water, which silently blew to pieces, resulting in a myriad of sparkling particles which deposited on his body, splashing him in the process. In the dimness of the room, only lit up by a few candles, the fragments became flecks, glistening like the bioluminescent phytoplankton described in one of his grandparents' books. If he first pulled his hand back as if he had burnt himself, he began after that to explode several water bubbles in a row.

#fantastic beasts #newt scamander #fantastic beasts and where to find them #a blue woolen ocean #young newt #autistic newt #I went to too many bibliographical references for this one already #also I read FBAWTFT again yesterday #I had forgotten that it was explicitly written that his mother strongly encouraged him #so there we are #writting this is sensory therapy #oupsi #I became crazy again

[charlesoberonn]

Okay!

So long story short, Hench.co is a story about a supervillains henchmen (mainly the head scientist Dr. Evalyn Shaw) staging a coup and taking over the company (and there's a side plot about a hero and another villain falling in love)

A Bite to Eat is about Ethan and Olivia, a young couple who have to learn to get along after Ethan gets turned into a vampire. It's very episodic and silly and ends with the main cast being like "Soo (insert fast food here)?"

The Forgotten Realm is a fae type story where Steohanie falls into a frozen realm and has to destroy it's tyrant ruler along with Melissa (not her realm name) and Bailey

Neat. They all have a lot of potential.

The vampire slice-of-life is my favorite.

Edible Delectables chapters 3 & 4

Click to see the rest of the snark & image descriptions

Chapter 3

Kara briefly wondered if licking Dr. Dietrich's face would be in line with her liquid only diet restrictions. 

[Image description: Clint Eastwood, an elderly white man with grey hair, is sitting on a porch with a mug of coffee. He has a look of disgust and contempt on his face. It is captioned with “I had to read this and so do you.” End image description] 

After he was gone, Kara hit the button for her IV pain meds and as she drifted off, her last thought was that Jason had called her Kara. Did he remember her, too? 

Setting aside the fact that Jason and Kara went to high school together, what exactly is he supposed to call her? Ms. Baker? 

We wouldn’t be having this conversation if they hadn’t gone to school together. This entire thing is so stupid. 

"So what brought Kara Baker up?" Jaime was back on the scent. 

"I told you, she was a patient in the ER," Jason replied.

[...]

"Yes, but you said you remembered her from high school," Jaime persisted, handing him two wine glasses.

Yes. Because I walked in, said “Hey, don’t I know you from somewhere?” and then remembered high school. Because that’s how memories fucking work. 

The subject was officially changed and they finished their dinner, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t get Kara Baker out of his head.

Chapter 3 summary: Kara wakes up post-surgery, feeling awful because of said surgery. And angry because she’s on a liquid only diet following her post-op. There’s a lot of padding that serves no point, including a nurse telling her how to use the pain med button and that she should get up and start walking around. Editors? What editors? 

Anyway, right after Eva and Eric leave, Kara is trying to get up to use the toilet when Jason comes in. He helps her into the room, but leaves her to do her business. Kara feels weird when she thinks that he called her “Kara”, despite it being her fucking name. 

Later, Jason casually asks his twin sister, Jamie, if she remembers Kara from their senior year. Jamie is like “Oh, this girl? During your year of celibacy?” This sends Jason tumbling down memory lane and he thinks about his ex, Kate. 

Before Jason moved away, he’d promised Kate to be faithful to her, and he was. Kate had promised the same thing, but when the two of them were reunited after the year was over, Jason found out that Kate had done literally everybody who asked, and anything that they asked of her. ANYTHING. 

This turned into him being a manwhore, which was quickly followed by him focusing on his studies. Which normal people would say that it wasn’t a bad thing, but his family was convinced that he was gay… simply because he wasn’t dating anybody for two years. He found a kindred med student spirit in some girl named Michelle for a while, but after they broke up, she quickly got married to one of their old professors. 

Back in the present, Jamie continues to be all “You like this Kara girl! OMG, how romantic!” Even though the only thing Jason said was “Do you remember her from school? Anyway, she came into the ER last night.” Jason is fed up with his sister. 

Chapter 4

Jason arrived early at the hospital for his shift. Entering the lobby, his feet took over and, as if on autopilot, he walked to the elevators and hit the up button.

How can it be autopilot when this is the first time Kara’s been in the hospital before? 

It would be autopilot if she had a long-term illness and he visited her every single day. But not literally 24 hours after her surgery. 

"So...tell me about the DILF," Evalyn began as they made their way slowly from Kara’s hospital room. 

"DILF?" 

"Just substitute 'doctor'," Eva explained.

[Image description: Emma Stone, a young white woman with red hair. She is wearing a yellow top, a ribbon in her hair, red earrings, and red lipstick. She has a look of utter disgust on her face. It is captioned with “I had to read this and so do you.” End description.]

Kara giggled and continued back to her room.

Chapter 4 summary: The next morning, Kara kind of dinks around her hospital room for a while. When Eva comes in, Kara begs for her friend’s help with bathroom stuff, claiming that it hurts too much for her to twist around and wash out her own ass. And she’s too embarrassed to ask the MALE nurse for help. Eva does it, but under great emotional distress. 

When Jason gets into the hospital, he goes to visit Kara. It’s weird and awkward. The scene drags on for too long, and serves no real point, since we already know that they went to school together. 

After he leaves, Eva is like “OMG girl, explain!” So Kara does. Which again, it serves no real point since the readers already know all of this.

Who are their two adopted children

Alyssa and Arma

Alyssa is one of the child experiments of Evalyns, she has the power to teleport and used it to escape Hench.co. She loves soccer and is one of the youngest vigilantes in the city, under the name Portagal

Arma is a very young kitsune, just a pup. They were sent to this realm to bring The End of Times but is basically getting loved into submission by Cobra and Kitsune. They also wield a sword bigger than them

#my ocs #henchco #alyssa #portagal #arma #cobra #kitsune

[hoshi-neko-hikari]

Here is another trait to Evalyn's fierce independence: while her crusaders keep watch on the villages, cities, towns, outposts, strongholds in, and the borders of Dragonridge Valley, Evalyn herself prefers to patrol every corner of the entire kingdom, and every settlement as well, making sure the weak, the poor, the sick, the young, the disable, and the elderly are under her fearsome protection. Many times Evalyn's nemesis - the azure dragon Xheinuracgos, the Manaweaver - tried to lay siege to the kingdom, she was always keen to take him on by herself. That's right; Evalyn is one princess who is more than capable of holding her own and protecting the kingdom. How would Hikari and friends react to that?

Considering, they’re 3-5, they’d most likely not understand any of that. Only the dragon fighting part.

3 most influential moments: Serena

Let's continue my 3 most influential moments like I did for Evalyn. I already did one of the moment's that were supposed to be here which is the first meeting of Serena and Evalyn soo I did a new scene in place of it. Hope you like it!

”Hello, darling. Come in.” The door opened. A young woman walked in. Even though she was tall, very tall, her demeanor made her feel much smaller than she was. Still, her arms made sure no-one would touch her. Tattoos in her arms went from cute to terrifying, from three roses in her shoulder to a half dead little girl in her wrist. “Tell the camera your name.”

“My name is Serena Darcy” She didn’t smile, didn’t even flinch.

“No middle name? Why is that?” Woman interviewing tried to smile to her but couldn’t. When their eyes met, she had to look back into the folder in her hands. “That’s odd, your file says- “

“My name is Serena Darcy” There was finally some emotions in the girl’s eyes. She tried turn back into that cold look she had second ago, but you could still notice the heavy breathing and her wondering eyes.

“But that’s not- “Woman tried to continue, but Serena stopped her.

“My name is Serena Darcy, the girl in that file is dead!” Serena hit the table in front of her, shaking the whole set in consequence. After when she noticed what she had done, she looked down and put her hands in her lap. “I’m sorry.”

The woman straightened her posture and said coldly: “Tartaros is not the place for imaginary aliases.”

Serena looked into the woman’s eyes. “Please, I’ll do anything.” Girl bit her lip and tried to smile. Woman’s eyes were glistening. “Just… don’t address me as… her.” She closed her eyes for a second and just breathed in and out.

“Okay then, what has Serena Darcy done?” Woman smiled. It was obvious that the smile was fake. “I only know- knew the girl in this file.” She laid the folder on to the floor and slid it under her chair. Serena’s eyes followed the folder’s movement.

“I am an accomplice. I live with the Rosebloods. Xander Roseblood calls me her ward.” Serena smiled, but it was more of sad smilebthan a happy one. She shuffled her short black hair that was already pretty unkept.

“That’s not enough. What else?”

“I’ve… What ever Evalyn has in her file, I’ve done too.” Serena was clearly uncomfortable. Even though her face was still emotionless, her legs were moving side to side. “We are a team. We do everything together.”

“I guess you are one of those “opposite attracts”-couples.” Woman smiled widely. Serena’s pupils grew.

“We-We are not a couple.” Her voice was shaking, but she was smiling. “What gave you that idea? I think we are very similar, in our own way. I’m just more sheltered and she is… Evalyn Roseblood. She’s just amazing.” Her smile widened each second she spoke. After she stopped speaking, her smile disappeared.

“I didn’t mean to be rude. You just seem close.” The woman opened the folder again. she was obviously smiling. “How did you guys meet?”

There was nervousness in the girls voice “I was 13. I had just ran away from my… situation. I was desperate. I wanted the physical and emotional pain to stop. I was read to give up. Then, I met her. And we became inseprabale”

Serena changed into younger version of her, a girl that was clearly going trough puberty. She looked at a girl climbing a wall filled with traps that could easily kill her. The girl, who had tied her afro under a scarf, didn't care.

"Come down, Evalyn! I'm serious", Serena screamed but Evalyn ignored her. When Evalyn was in the middle of the wall, Serena screamed frustrated and ran to follow her.

Soon enough, they both were on the top of the wall. Evalyn looked inside. Thousands of blinking lights filled the ground, like stars that were fallen to the ground. You could see cities far in the distance, type that you can't see the top of them.

"Isn't it pretty?" Evalyn said, fantasizing about something she didn't say to Serena.

"Soon enough we will be there. We just have to get trough the Tartaros-project."

Evalyn sighed. "Do you have to remind me of it? The whole Tartaros-project is just for them to exploit the people who really need to get out of the unhabitable areas. So people who aren't slumlords or... serial killers."

"So, just all our friends." Evalyn laughed.

"Oh please, they aren't our friends. Just... means to survive."

Serena looked at Evalyn. She looked so pretty like this, looking at the lights below them, a bit hopeful for the future, even tough she wouldn't admit it herself. This would be perfect to say the secret thought she has had for three years now. She had feelings for Evalyn. She loved Evalyn. If she just said the three words, her life could change.

Before she could say it, Evalyn said something that broke Serena's heart: "That police officer that arrested us was hot though."

Serena wanted to say that she shouldn't think about him. She should think of her. "Sure."

"What was his name again? Like Luie? Lucas? Oh, it was Louis. Louis Braun."

World changed again. Serena sat around a table next to Milo and Evalyn. They were teenagers now, and had just won their first battle against Ashohodea. Evalyn's stomach was showing a bit.

"So, Ashphodea will attack again. They want their area back. We need a plan to protect the people who trust us now", Evalyn said stroking her belly.

Milo laughed but it was hollow. "So this is what we are doing now? The mighty Gorgos are city's leaders."

"Okay android, what do you want me to do? Cry to mommy? If you didn't realize, all of our parental figures are either dead or gone and..." Evalyn looked at her stomach. She tried not to cry. "We have to grow up now. There's nothung else do it.

"Okay great Medua, do you know how to lead an army?"

"Better than you. Only thing you have done is being Anna's little puppet."

When Evalyn and Milo was each others throats, Serena looked at the table thinking deeply about something. She looked at her friends, scared and angry teenagers really over their heads. Serena was scared.

"Guys, Guys!" Serena slammed the table to make her friends quiet. "Here's the facts: Anna and Tomas are dead, Xander is dead, Julie is gone, we have a city who look for Gorgo for leadership, we have a one kid and one future kid that needs a guardian and... we are kids that need to be responsible to all of it."

Milo and Evalyn looked at each other. They agreed with Serena. They hated that they agreed with Sonia.

"Or if I am going to be more correct, It's the Gorgos work. So, are we going to be Gorgos or not?"

Milo sighned "Do we have an option?"

Evalyn touched her stomach. "Let's call this the first meeting of the Gorgos.
