Amazon - Present day

"This is... a forest ? Druig the forest man. Little remix of Tarzan and seeing as we have Jane with us it shouldn't take too long to find him. Right Y/N ?" Sprite makes the whole group laugh, as always. Thena can't help but smile and I have to admit that I might have laughed. A little. Only a little. Stunned by the landscape before us, I don't really pay attention to where I'm stepping. "Y/N watch out you're going to-" "Fuck !" I crunch my nose under the pain that is taking over my entire right leg, the brambles are still clinging to me and I have to admit I'm holding back tears as best I can, it hurts like hell. "Remind me why I came here !"

Gilgamesh helps me out of the quagmire, my leg well scraped and I drop into his arms. "What's the idea of putting on a dress to come here Y/N ?" "I don't know but... I... I think I'm going to die... goodbye." I played my part to perfection all the way through, my eyes closed, my hand placed on my forehead dramatically. I make my friends laugh in turn, which relaxes the charged atmosphere a little more. Gilgamesh straightens me up and we try to get back on our way, being careful not to hurt me a second time. "Why put on a dress for him ? It's not like he left you behind without a word." Ikaris's words come out dry and sharp so I decide to answer him in the same way "I think you're cheeky for someone who left without giving any news." a heavy silence falls on us, nobody dares to answer anything.

"I think you're beautiful Y/N." I lay my eyes on Gilgamesh's smiling face, who definitely understood that Ikaris' remark had just hurt my feelings. "I agree." Thena and Gilgamesh look at each other with a small knowing smile. I always wonder what I would have done without them. I wouldn't know how to thank them for all they have done for me. They are my family more than my friends.

Soon we arrive in the heart of a small village, quite calm and harmonious. More or less intrigued looks are on us, as if they had not seen a stranger for a long time. While Sprite tries to get some information to find Druig, I look at a little girl, sitting, calm, watching us with curiosity. If there's one thing that can calm me down, it's children. I wave to her, say hello and smile. "You came quickly. I really didn't expect to see you here now." that voice.

My body tenses, I don't move, not wanting to be noticed. If I could go unnoticed by the way that would be great ! I hide as I can behind Kingo, in passing my eyes pass unhappily on Druig. How does he always look so beautiful and charismatic. "My beautiful girl... you always think so loudly." I feel his blue eyes staring at me, which makes me blush almost immediately, as his gaze travels over my body I feel strangely weak, his eyebrows furrowing when he sees that I've hurt myself. "Come in. I believe you have some things to tell me."

Sersi looks at Druig, trying to see how much what she has just told him may have hurt or affected him. She realises that it's not exactly easy to take in and that Ajak's death affects everyone, even Druig. "Why would I agree to help you?" "For.... to save the world? Isn't that a good reason?" he doesn't answer Sersi's question, which annoys Ikaris, who makes it known. "We're leaving. We don't need him, Sersi. We'll find another way." "Ikaris, this is not really time to be a difficult child, you know.” I can't help but speak up, which I should have avoided. The tone rises very quickly between them. No one really listens to each other anymore and Druig ends up leaving, annoyed and irritated by our presence, announcing bad news.

Kingo stands up, trying to convince Sersi to let Druig think about it, to give him some time.Tired of all the commotion I silently leave this pretty chapel. I venture into the forest while being careful, I really don't want to get hurt again, this is not the time. When I finally find him, with my back to me, facing a sumptuous lake, I feel his anger piercing me with full force, if dealing with my own emotions is a concept that escapes me, dealing with those of others is within my grasp. If I want to talk to him, I'm not going to have the choice of taking that anger away. If Arishem gave me the power to control emotions, I might as well use it once in a while.

I move closer to him and gently let my hand slide down his forearm before entwining my fingers with his. "I've always hated that you control my emotions. But if it allows me to hold your hand, I don't really have a problem with it anymore." I smile at him, trying to back away, to take my hand from his but he holds me back, never looking at me. "Do you think Sersi's idea is the best idea ever?" "You have another idea?" "No. Not really. I don't really know if I care about any of this either."

I look up to the skies, tired of his stubbornness, "I don't want to leave, I like it here. I like its landscapes, its beauty, its weaknesses. I don't want to start all over again, to forget, to no longer know how much I love you all. They need you, Dru. I need you." I look out to the horizon and admire the beautiful sunset. "Take time to think about it, just a little. I know it's not easy for you either. Even if you don't show it." I finally let go of his hand. I don't really expect an answer, so I leave to join the others.

As I arrive back in the centre of the small village, I find my friends ready to listen to one of Sprite's most beautiful stories, Thena's. Sersi beckons me to join her "I love Sprite's stories, I've missed them." I smile at my friend "Me too." Once the Sprite stuff is over I look around for Druig but can't find him, instead I come across a rather angry Ikaris. "Are you sulking? Stop sulking." "Druig can sulk and I can't?" "Druig sulks because that's all he does. Druig sucks. Come on." I hold out my hand to my friend, which he finally grasps.

"Ajak...? Ajak!" I rush towards her, sliding on the ice. Her body is cold, grey, empty of all energy. "Ajak... oh my God..." I try to look around for help, but nothing. "Help! Please!" my crying doesn't stop. I hear a noise that makes me look up. "What the..."

"Y/N? Y/N are you okay?" the voice of Ikaris brings me back to the present moment, a little confused I smile nervously quickly removing my hand from his. "Yes, yes I'm fine! I'm just a little tired, travelling and all that... I'll go and rest for a bit." I offer him a not very convincing smile, I must admit. I walk away, in incomprehension. What just happened? "Since when have you been able to access Ikaris' memories?" I gasp, letting out a small cry of fright. "What the hell is wrong with you! I was close to dying there Druig!" I hear him laugh, his laughter making me, tender. Damn it Y/N this is not the time. "It's not funny! You look like a psychopath like that, hiding in the dark...."

"I saw what just happened with Ikaris, I saw what you saw, since when can you access other people's memories?" "First of all I don't know what you're talking about and second of all who told you that you could walk around in my mind like it was yours?" "You. It's not my fault that your mind is always so tame when it comes to me Darling. If only you could be as docile as he is..." I roll my eyes. "It's not like you like me to give you a hard time. I didn't know it was a memory. I've never done this before... I just held his hand. But... it definitely doesn't make sense. Why would he have a memory like that?"

Druig stares at me, as if to make me understand something that seems so obvious to him. "No. No it can't be, don't even try to say it." "You never thought he could have-" "Shhh. No, no, no, no and no. He would never do that for the simple reason that it's not possible, that's all." "You're getting agitated." "Of course I'm getting agitated Druig you are implying that Ikaris could have killed Ajak, do you realize what you are saying? Of course I'm getting agitated." what if he's right? I feel a wave of uncontrollable anxiety sweep over me.

Everything gets mixed up in my head and I don't know how to separate the real from the absurd. "Who wants honey, must suffer from the stings of bees" these words take me back centuries. While we were Ajak and I admired the starry sky, I confided to him for the first time my love for Druig. The only person who knows it, I confide in her my fear of being hurt and therefore that I didn't want to make the first move but that I still wanted to live a beautiful love story and these are Ajak's words that night. Who wants honey, must suffer from bee stings. "It was because of Ajak that I confided in you." "I know. And it is because of you that I learned to love the outside world."

Nothing could spoil this moment, maybe it was time to confide, to talk about the past. Nothing was supposed to ruin this moment, but that was far too easy, wasn't it? Ready to give myself up once and for all, I feel a feeling of revenge come over me, I don't really understand where it comes from until I see a deviant heading straight for us. Without thinking I throw myself on Druig, creating an energy field, protecting us momentarily from the deviant. Everything happens very quickly and in an instant we are both alone. "The village..." as we arrive at the main square, it's chaotic.

My first instinct is to protect the children who are the most vulnerable. Creating an energy shield around us. I get everyone to safety, as much as I can. "Y/N!" I turn around when I hear Gilgamesh call out to me, I don't have time to realize that a deviant is coming right at me that Gilgamesh intervenes, risking his life. I run towards him trying to help him as I can but I am far from being a warrior. I find myself propelled to the ground with my face turned towards my friend, Ikaris takes the deviant farther into the forest, finally giving the village some respite.

I get up with difficulty, running towards Gilgamesh, lying on the ground. "Hey... get up, I'll help you... get up.." no response, just a small smile only. "Y/N..." "I'm here... come.... I will help you. Get up. I'll help you. Stand up. Please..." I caress his face, my tears burning my skin as he just let out his last breath. "No... no please no... please don't leave me! Don't leave me! "I scream. I scream my anger, my pain, my sadness, I scream my regrets, I scream my remorse. "Y/N... " Thena's hands rest on my shoulders.

All around the fire, no one speaks, only a villager, saying a prayer in Spanish in memory of Gilgamesh. Thena's cries reach my ears. My heart becomes a little bit heavier. I start to cry again, unable to contain it. "My love... come here." Druig wraps his arms around me and I rest my head against his chest, my eyes closed. His warmth and scent reassure me so much. His presence makes me feel good.

In the early morning, Thena deposits the ashes of our dear friend in the lake. Asleep against Druig's chest, the first rays of the sun caress my face and wake me up. "I missed you so much Dru... don't ever leave. Ever again." "My beautiful princess... I won't leave again. I promise. I will come with you. We'll find Phastos and we'll stop the emergence. For earth, for Gilgamesh. Rest a little longer, love... I've got you."

Part two is a bit longer but I loved writing it. It's a bit of a mess but I hope you'll like it anyway and I would probably do a part three if you want. 🦋

Usa - Present day

"Are you sure this is the place?" "Look, I'm not the one who's spent my whole life in a forest. I know how to use a GPS. Trust me." Eyes glued to my phone desperately searching for the right way, I can feel Druig getting impatient behind me. It's fair to say that patience is not really one of his qualities. "We're lost, aren't we?" "Well, listen to me, if you speak one more time, I swear to God-"

"Dad! Daddy look!" "Wow Jack, you're really improving!" "I think we just found it." Just as I was ready to take out all my frustration on him, he walks past me heading towards a nice brick house. I try to calm myself down, he really has a way of getting on my nerves in an instant. I quickly tie my hair up in a not very well done bun. I quickly arrive at the small white gate and witness a most beautiful scene. A family scene. With a smile on my face, I feel my heart melting in my chest and when our friend finally recognizes us I fear he is not so happy to see us.

I say hello to Phastos, I feel him stressed and worried. He must suspect that if we are here after all these years it is not for a happy family meal. "Hello, do you need help?" Before I can answer, Phastos claps his hands drawing our attention. "Oh my gosh... what a surprise! Friends from university... it's been a while. Mh, Lucie and... and Marius?" I frown as I hear the names he has chosen for us. "Marius?" Druig looks far more surprised than I do. "But Dad... why are his eyes glowing?" Looking at Druig I understand the boy's question better. I slap him on the back of the head, which stops him in his tracks. I pull him by the arm and move away from Phastos, signalling that I will be back.

"I can tell what you're playing at. We're here to convince him to help us, not to give him a reason to kick us out of his life permanently, Druig! If you can't understand that not everything can be solved by manipulating others you'll stay outside while I talk to him." "Y/N clean him up you know when it's not about you he doesn't make an effort. Come on in." I sigh, trying not to be too angry with him even though he is annoying me. As I walk towards the entrance of the house I notice that Druig is not following me. What the hell. "What the hell are you doing. Come on." "You have to know. Do I stand on the pavement or do I go inside." "You're gonna drive me crazy if you keep messing with my nerves." "I don't have to play with your nerves to make you lose your mind." He walks past me, proud of himself. I clench my fists, and the worst part is that he's right. Asshole.

In the small living room, by the fireplace, we wait for Phastos to take care of Jack and I can't help but look at the scene before us. It's far too cute. "Stop spying on people." "Shut up." I feel his presence behind me, I smile quietly, I love it when he's close like this. "Why don't you have a child?" "What?" "You've always loved children, I wonder why you don't have any." "I can't, you can't, we can't. So I don't have any." "What about adoption?" "Druig what are you trying to find out here?" "I was just wondering-" "No I never found anyone after you. Shut up now." When Phastos finally notices that we are looking at him I quickly turn to go sit down but Druig stops me. "Get out of the way, you big idiot, and go sit down."

When we turn around we see that there are only two chairs and not three. We look at each other with a defiant look on our faces, I rush to the chair but I don't know what magic of the universe he sits down in front of me, a proud smile on his face. "You are definitely not discreet..." Phastos sits down and I stay standing. "Do you want a chair?" "No, no... I'm fine." "Okay... what's going on?" As I begin to tell the reason for our coming, I feel Druig's hands come to rest on my hips and pull me towards him. Sitting on his lap I can't help but blush without losing the thread of the conversation. I'll give Phastos time to digest it all. To assimilate everything. A conversation starts very quickly, he doesn't want to leave his family and this is quite normal. After several minutes we decide not to insist anymore and thank our friend, leaving the house without him.

"I understand that." "So do I Druig but-" "If I'd had the chance to have a family with you, I wouldn't have put it at risk for anything." I don't really know if I've just dreamed this moment but I have to admit that the tears are rolling down my cheeks all by themselves, luckily for me the darkness prevents him from seeing how much he's just touched a nerve. To start a family with him. Ready to return to where we came from, Phastos quickly exits his house, jacket in hand. "I'm coming with you. We'll stop this and then I'll go home. I'll find my son and my husband. No more killing. Is that clear?" I shake my head sharply, this is our only chance to make it.

Irak - Present day

"Do you think they'll manage to convince him to come and help us?" Sersi and Ikaris are together, desperately waiting for us to return. "I don't know if it was really a good idea to let Durig go. He's not very good at socializing." "That's true. But Y/N is there. I trust her, and I know Druig will make sure not to upset her. He just wanted to be near her." "Mhhh. I don't understand what she sees in him." "Ikaris!" our friends start laughing, which lifts some of the burden of waiting for us to arrive with Phastos. When the three of us arrive near the deserted archaeology camp, thanks to Druig's help, the reunion goes well but we don't really have time to waste. "While you were away we thought of a solution. All we want to do is stop the emergence and put a Celestial to sleep for a moment. The only one who can do that is Druig but he needs a lot more strength and power or it will never work."

We all listen to Sersi, waiting for the end of her reasoning, but I soon realise that she doesn't really have an idea. As Phastos digs up our ship, I approach him. "Do you think you could make Druig's powers more powerful?" "I don't have the ability to make his powers more powerful, but I can combine our strength so he can use it to put the Celestial to sleep. A kind of... mind-meld?" As everyone goes inside the ship I notice that Ikaris turns around, doesn't go inside. I don't know why but I decide to follow him. All along I've had a bad feeling about him and I don't really understand why. I need to know if what I saw was one of his memories or just a coincidence.

I don't really know what time it is but the sun is slowly setting behind the sand dunes. The landscape is beautiful, I really missed it. As I slowly approach Ikaris I really don't feel right. I don't know if I'm feeling what he's feeling or if I'm just afraid of what I'll find. "The scenery is beautiful hmm..." he speaks up, I wasn't exactly discreet in following him at the same time. "It's... I don't have the words. I miss Babylon. I miss that time. Don't you?" "I do. I do a little. I wish time had stopped here." "To stay with Sersi all your life?" "Yes. But also to stay with you. I liked being near you."

"Even with Druig?" one cannot help but laugh. Even though the two often bump into each other, I know they don't hate each other either. I feel Ikaris' pain deeply and I don't even want to know what is real and what is not. I just want to show him that he is not alone. "Come give me a hug. You deserve some love. I know I'm not Sersi but I'm your friend so it counts, right?" He nods with a smile and lets his arms wrap around my waist. A massive headache suddenly grips me, an unspeakable pain overwhelms me and I fall to my knees. My mind is about to explode.

"I have always been faithful to you Ajak. I kept your secret, I never told anyone about the emergence and now you want to end it all? To end our work this way and betray Arishem." "Ikaris... I'm sorry I didn't guide you on the right path..." "My faith in you is no greater than my faith in Arishem. This is the only path I know."

"Y/N! Y/N! I'm here Y/N." My mind explodes, my memories hurt, Ikaris' memories too. I don't really know where I am anymore and what's going on. I quickly realize that I'm in Ikaris' arms, now inside the ship. "Y/N?" I hear Druig's voice, I smile as I try to pull myself out of the arms of the one I considered my friend. I can't walk and fall back into Druig's arms.

"You were right, you were right..." I press my forehead to his, whispering. "Look... look." I feel him reaching into my mind, searching for what got me into this state. I relive the memory with him, my hands are shaking and I can't even stand on myself. His blue eyes filled with sadness stare at me, we have just understood how Ajak died. Understand why I felt so much sadness in Ikaris and that he won't let us finish what we just started.

I look at Makkari, I haven't seen her for so long and I don't even take the time to say hello. Kingo and I are the only ones who have learned sign language, the only ones who can communicate directly with her. I slowly approach her and begin to speak to her in sign language. "Makkari... Don't trust Ikaris. You need to find out where the emergence is going to happen. Come back and tell me." "What do you mean Ikaris betrayed us?" "He killed Ajak and he's going to stop us from stopping the emergence. I know this because I saw him... I... I had access to some of his memories. Trust me."

Without further ado, I see her speed off and I feel Kingo's gaze on me. "What's going on here?" Thena, annoyed, approaches me. "What's going on is that your national hero killed Ajak and was about to screw it up. He never intended to help us. I don't know how she got access to any of your memories and I don't give a shit. What were you going to do? Kill us all? You know what I'm going to do? I'm gonna kill you." without me really understanding what's going on Druig punches Ikaris in the face before lashing out. "Stop!" Sersi rushes between the two boys but nearly gets hit in the face. Phastos finally separates the two.

"I had to do it! I had no choice or I would never have killed her but I had to stop her from stopping the emergence! But she decided to allow Sersi to see Arishem! And therefore to know everything about the emergence. And now I have to stop you, and I will kill you if I have to." Makkari arrives at this point. With the location of the emergence. "RUN!" without asking why, she leaves the ship a second time before becoming Ikaris' number one target. Sersi approaches him with tears in his eyes.

"It can't be true... tell me it's not true. Tell me." "I'm sorry Sersi... but I can't let you do this. I can't stay here. Don't try to stop the emergence or I'll kill you." he turns his back on us and we are all speechless, each of us trying to understand what is happening, it all seems so unreal. "Wait. I'm coming with you." I turn back to Sprite, not really understanding what she's getting at. Without anyone being able to say a word, Ikaris and Sprite disappear behind a cloud of butterflies. "You look surprised. Didn't anyone notice that she's in love with him? Yet it's still obvious."

I don't want to know anything more. If I am to be honest, this is all going too far, I am emotionally tired. I leave the common room, not really knowing where to go. I just want to be alone, to be immersed in silence. When I arrive in the room where we all arrived several centuries ago I find Makkari, who looks at me with incomprehension. "Ikaris went with Sprite." "With Sprite? Why did she leave with him?" "Because she loves him, so she follows him blindly." "And what do we do now??" "I don't know... Ikaris has the goal of letting the emergence happen and he'll kill us if we ever try to stop him. Sprite will possibly do whatever he says. Sersi is... sad and overwhelmed.” "I do believe that Kingo will not be with us on this mission."

"Why?" "He believes Arishem's work should not be stopped, but he will not fight us. Thena and Druig are... ready to fight Ikaris and then Phastos probably regrets following us here." "It doesn't look like it's going as planned," I smile, coming to sit beside her. "You're right. Nothing is going as planned." There is silence in the room and it feels good. Peace and quiet. Far from the emergence and violence of our world today. Sersi joins us, I feel a deep sadness in her. "Kingo is gone... mhh. Phastos still believes we can stop the emergence so I trust him. He has found a way to bind us all together so that Druig can put the Celestial to sleep. All we need now is to know the location of the emergence and to... get ready to fight Ikaris and Sprite." The three of us look at each other. Ready to stop this whole massacre.

This is part three. It's not the part I like the most, but I think it's necessary for the rest. Because yes, even if I didn't want to do more than three parts, I think I'll do a fourth. Maybe even a fifth. A little extra smut or fluff. I hope you enjoy it ! 🦋
