Aislinn Tanaka x vampire OC (Verity Wright)

Aislinn's hands trembled as she rushed to grab her purse. All she wanted to do was get back to Verity. After staring down the barrel of a gun and into the cold eyes of a killer, she just wanted to feel safe, and ironically it was a vampire that was the only one who made her feel safe.

She paused when she saw Verity's office light was off but relaxed when she saw them standing in front of their window. Dropping her things in a chair she walked up to Verity and wrapped her arms around the vampire. It felt as if she was hugging a boulder, Verity was so tense. Then she noticed they were glaring out the window, their eyes glowing blood red.

"Verity?"

"It's taking all my willpower to keep from tracking that-that man down right now. But if I do, he won't be in one piece when I'm done with him." Verity growled.

"It's okay, we'll figure something out, we may have lost Aliana's phone-"

"I don't give a damn about that phone Ash! Or about this god forsaken case anymore! I just..." Verity very carefully laid their forehead against the glass window in frustration. Aislinn comes around in between Verity and the window and is quickly pinned up against it. The look in Verity's eyes isn't anger anymore but desperate hopeless fear.

"Seeing that gun man standing over you...I've never felt so out of control. I've never felt such rage before" Verity's face twisted into something more inhuman at the memory but quickly softened at Aislinn's gentle touch. "I can't lose you. It would tear me apart, Aislinn." Verity says burying their face into Aislinn's chest right over her heart.

"Oh Verity. I'm okay. I'm safe. You kept me safe."

"Always." Verity's reply is muffled in Aislinn's chest but firm. Aislinn drags Verity's face up to lock their lips together and the kiss quickly turns hungry.

Aislinn pulls back just enough to frantically say, "I want to be with you, please, I need you Verity." Dragging a tortured moan from the vampire.

"I'm sorry, I need to feed, I don't trust myself right now."

"Then feed from me." Aislinn says, taking her white sash off, exposing her throat.

"Aislinn...you don't have to-"

"I want you to, Verity. I want to give you everything you need. Whatever you want, is yours." A thrill runs up her spine at Verity's whimper but a gasp escapes her own lips when Verity suddenly rips her suit jacket down her arms, tears her white shirt into shreds and hoists her up in their arms.

Verity's hair tickles Aislinn's neck and she throws her head back when they trail kisses up and down the column of her throat.

"I won't hurt you...I'll never hurt you, Aislinn." Verity softly says.

"I know baby, I know." Aislinn says her jaw dropping in a silent gasp, her eyes rolling back slightly as Verity sinks their fangs into her neck. Euphoria races through Aislinn's body as Verity groans at her taste and Aislinn knew she was in for a long but beautiful night.

I wanted to try to make an illustration to go with this, but I just don't have the time to! ;w; Still, thanks for the question!

I want to start off with giving some context regarding how I headcanon Toriel's relationship with Asgore post-pacifist timeline. I'd imagine that by the time Sans and Toriel would have a kid together, Toriel would be less hostile towards Asgore, and therefore be ok with him being around/watching over Aislinn. I know that near the end of Undertale, Toriel literally says to Asgore that she does not even want to be friends, but if you look at, for example, the "Undertale 5th Anniversary Alarm Dialogue", they are shown to be hanging out at least. Because of this, I believe that over time they would eventually become at least friendly with one another (as in Toriel would at least tolerate being around him/be able to have a friendly conversation here and there). To add to that, I don't think Toriel hates Asgore. She may act like it, but I don't think she really hates the guy deep down. Also, for the record/side note, Asgore and Sans are cool with each other. There is no hate or rivalry between them!

Oisein ate my brain raw, hii.

1. Mana, arcana, aether: What's the difference between them on your story? Are they serving as different fuels for different types of magic?

I think I've discussed before in the past and the info may change from then, but:

Mana - General magic fuel for most magic

Arcana - Old archaic term to refer to magic

Aether - Clerical magic fuel that came straight from Malkiel himself

2. Is the "Hands of Ectorius" mentioned on the Fae lore, a temple of sorts or a geolographical location within the Reflection?

Yes, and yes. Ectorius thought it would be cool to make a geographical location and make it their temple. The Hands of Ectorius are rock formations that resemble "hands" with fingers poking out of the ground and cupping it in its "palms".

3. Is Ectorius, the God of Fae and Arts, featured on the upcoming game "Retribution: He Cries" going to have a cameo appearance or special mention at any point in the future?

He will be mentioned, but I won't spoil what happened to him in Retribution in the mention.

4. Can you share what specific superstitions surround the Monarch Fae (kingdom of Earthshine) that makes them the most well-known and favored among the Fae?

Well, not really on superstitions and more on how they act towards Magi and humans. For one, the Monarch Fae are great hosts; hospitable and very helpful (and surprisingly honest) people. They aren't one to actively try to make a deal with you to steal your name, and are more intrigued at the fact that someone's in their kingdom than try to kill them on sight unlike the other kingdoms.

5. One of the primary reasons on the reasons on the rising tensions between neighboring kingdoms has been the "illegal" trespassings

I think this is an unfinished question, but yeah, one of the primary reasons are the trespassings that have been occuring as of late. The Tagalica (Cicadas) are fleeing their kingdom to others due to... multiple reasons. One of them is having the Scoldii (Wasps) constantly nearing and attacking their already small territory.

6. Given the aggressive nature of Scoldii, how do they maintain alliances or neutral relationships with other kingdoms? Are they any kingdoms they have a particularly close relationship with?

Well, more on neutral relationship with Earthshine, since they haven't attacked them yet. However, they are particularly close with Moonglade (Moth kingdom) due to the trade they have going on. The Scoldii love and want the Webworm's silk for their own clothes and personal use since the silk of moths are better than the silk of wasps, so a deal was made. The kingdom of Coachan will provide protection for Moonglade, as long as they provide them with silk.

7. Given the naming of each species found on the 6 kingdoms, is their social structures familiar to their normal earthling counterparts?

Somewhat. The Xylocopa and Scoldii are matrilineal, like their real life counterparts, where the queen rules the hive. While the Lucanidae are based of stag beetles, and beetles are known to be solitary hence an individualistic society unlike Xylocopa and Scoldii's collectivistic society (because, you know, h i v e s). I can go on, but it'll make this long post even longer.

8. Have any efforts been made towards advancing or improving the efficiency of the alchemical recipes and healing spells by expert magi of the field? Asking about inventions and advancement shared with the wider community of Magi, not crazy inventions locked away at the Company's agencies.

They've changed some archaic ingredients to more modern and more accessible ones and make the process faster, but no inventions were made. Why fix what's not even broken and ineffective?

9. Are there any known attempts to challenge or debunk the claims made in Sanctus Aether Issium?

There were back at 1700's when religion was a touchy subject, but that resulted in getting sent to the gallows by devoted clerics of Malkiel.

10. "Includes how to summon and communicate with the Archangels of Malkiel, also known as High Court, though one name is scratched out." Faisal is that you? (≖_≖ )

No, it's not Faisal, but one of the first Archangels of Malkiel, when there were still the Seven Heavenly Virtues; Sandalphon. Just knoe Sanctus Aether Issium was written around the 1200's; centuries after the events of Retribution.

11. Has blood magic and spells invented snd created by Aislinn been ruled forbidden after the massacre? What are the criteria used to include a spell/ritual/summoning on Illicitus Verba?

Yes, everything related to Aislinn and her magic are considered forbidden. Unfortunately, that includes her family's too, even if their practices are more medical. To get a spell/ritual/summoning into Illicitus Verba it has to have one or more of these:

Be able to actually kill a large group of people with ease

Be able to create a permanent effect that either affects the majority or the self in a very bad way

Can permanently damage the self or the victim

Can permanently curse the self or the victim

12. Are there any factions or groups within the Magi community that advocate for or against the specific types of magical spells/types of magic?

If it were back in the medieval eras, where opinions were... questionable, the modern Magi community does not. It's a bit more progressive than the Magi of before, however, they are a bit against necromancers due to the fact that they use demons and fiends as their summoned creatures, compared to druids who use creatures from Reflection.

13. Does the book MC is reading continue to narrate the life of Lothric and Aislinn until their, or Aislinn's eventual death? Can you reveal the cause of her death (was it natural, illness, accident, executed)?

Well, I'm not spoiling where the book of Lothric and Aislinn end, nor am I spoiling how one of them died.

14. What happens to Familiars who violate even one of the explicit rules of they have to obey regardless of reason?

Casted out as a Familiar as a whole. Plain and simple.

15. On the prologue released currently, it is implied that Aislinn has lost control over her magic before: How many times has that happened and has any of them been fatal?

Since she was around 15, Aislinn was already experimenting with her magic by then and multiple accidents have occured. Lothric was often a test subject, but sometimes she would practice on animal cadavers. There were times where cadavers would suddenly have twisted limbs because of Aislinn having poor control of the blood flow, and there are moments where Lothric would have a stroke because Aislinn would accidentally halt blood flow when practicing puppetry on him.

16. Was Aislinn ever a fan of fairytales and legends when she was a child? Or was she more of the type to find the truth behind them?

The latter. She was always one to seek out truth and knowledge in everything ever since she was young.

17. Was Lothric taught some advanced spells by Aislinn? What were some of them?

Yes, and the rest are spoilers.

18. Is the Stranger from the temple of the East a worshipper of Horatio? Did his position rise in the temple hierarchy after the deal he made with Aislinn? Will he appear anytime in the future?

* The Stranger's a they/them!

Yes, they are a disciple of Horatio; a senior one, and no, there is no hierarchy in the temple nor did they elevate in position. The Stranger is called a senior because of how long they stayed as a disciple. Also yes, the Stranger will appear in the future!

19. Are you going to include interludes or POV scenes in future chapters?

POV scenes? Yes. Interludes? Still thinking about it.

20. Is Despona going to take an active role in the future, or is she going to make a cameo appearance? A special mentioning perhaps?

“Thou Shalt Defy Death”

“Keep Peace”

“Forever is Now”
