#ecofrexk

Bustling streets, mixed with voices of civilians. It was another day in Haven City, and nothing seemed out of place. People chattered to one another as they went about their daily lives.The low hum on vehicles added a dull roar to the sounds that could be heard.

This effectively kept people occupied, as they did not hear or see the small distortion in the sky above them. A short crackling noise began, as part of the distortion chipped and broke off. Without any sort of warning, the distortion gave way, as a huge beast was thrown from it.  The creature landed on the streets below with a strong impact, sending civilians and debris in a full circle. Shaking it's head, it stumbled to it's feet, letting out a mighty roar.

A smaller figure tumbled onto the ground, groaning at the sudden impact of soil and rocks. A small, feminine voice came from said figure, who charged towards the beast, darting in-between civilians either running away, or too scared to move.

Your muse is my muse’s loyal guard.

Keira gave her flawless, done-up hair a ruffle, huffing out a sigh. That must have been the longest, most pointless meeting she had ever attended in her life- it had stretched from noon to the late evening, and she was a little stir crazy having to sit there for hours listening to delegates from different kingdoms bicker and squabble. 

Thankfully she had someone to keep her sanity about her during the whole event, and now he was just a pace behind her as she stalked the halls back to her bedroom. 

The party had been crazy at first, but as the night wore on and everyone got more and more intoxicated with the bountiful alcohol they were supplied with. It was all in celebration of the Spargus Prince, of course, and for the first few hours Keira couldn’t manage to get anywhere near him. Every now and then she’d steal a glance at him, just to see him avert his gaze or stare right at her with those intense blue eyes of his until someone else captured his attention.

After for what seemed like ages, they had both found their way to a more secluded area, everyone having forgotten about the hero in favour of talking loudly and dancing weirdly. Keira, drink in hand, sipped idly until said blonde practically slid up beside her, a dangerous glint in his eye that was only outmatched by his devilish smirk. She swallowed the alcohol slowly, something in her stomach sending butterflies up into her brain.

His next statement didn’t help, either. Green eyes widening, she glanced around them, almost in disbelief that he was really talking to her. Oh yeah, she was definitely the only one here…

Pushing some hair out of her face to tuck it behind her ear, she felt her own face and ears heat up. Though she could blame that on the alcohol, right? 

But a smile managed to tug up her lips despite this, shifting her weight onto one foot as she glanced off to the side a little bashfully.

18: Underwater Kiss

Jak had, for some reason, snuck her out of her hut that night, urging her through his silent gestures that he had something important to show her. She was hesitant, but he was much more persistent. So carefully, the two quietly made their way toward the beach, Jak having a firm grip on her hand. 

He brought her quite far, a little farther than the few ruins that overlooked the water, to find a quiet cove hidden in the side of the cliff. Being sealed off like it was, there was no way a lurker shark could make it's way in there, so it was relatively safe.

"Just a test, right?" She steps towards him, hands folded behind her back. 

Put ‘Claimed’ in my ask box and I’ll use a number generator to decide what you get:

A confession

Keira’s eyes had been very sensitive that day, leaving her to have to stop everything she was working on to try and rest them. Her vision had become blurry and hazy, and she couldn’t manoeuvre herself around as good as she should have been able to. Having called Jak over at the first sign of trouble, as soon as he walked through her apartment door she had gotten him to sit with her on her couch, deciding that maybe now was the time to explain something to him about her current condition.

"I know this is kind of sudden, and I’m sorry if I’ve kinda freaked you out, but usually I was able to keep this to myself and manage it just fine…" She blindly tried to reach out for his hand, blinking back against the slight stinging in her eyes. "I have this thing with my eyes…you see, when I was really young, I had an accident and a dark eco box exploded in my face and it blinded me. For a long while I was…I was blind, with the dark eco poisoning my system." It was weird, to talk about it like this. She had to pause a minute to keep herself steady.
