“It’s too much for me, but I don’t want to admit it”

Axel staggered.

The golden wings had torn through the sides of his stomach once again, right where an old wound already throbbed.

The pain was unbearable. But more than that… it was disrespectful.. A slap in the face, a pure insult from the seraphim...

And Axel wasn’t going to let it slide..

—You son of a bitch… –he muttered, breath short and voice trembling, pain blooming like fire in his gut.– They say we're ungrateful, rude, the worst of the worst... But you, calling yourselves “angels,” “seraphim,” “gods”, you’re so much less fair than us when it comes to battle!

—We’re not unfair. We only give the punishment that’s necessary...

—I DON’T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT PUNISHMENT, YOUR SHIT! –Axel roared, fury rising above pain.– IF YOU WANT “PEACE” SO BADLY, GO LOOK FOR IT SOMEWHERE ELSE! THIS IS OUR LAND! NOT YOURS!

—This land doesn’t belong to you. It doesn’t belong to us either. –the seraphim answered, voice unshaken.– No clan, no group, no being rules over this place. You think you do... but you don’t.. No one does!

Axel laughed, but it came out broken.. More of a cough than a chuckle... His knees shook.

—My god... how can you all be so… so damn stupid….?

His voice cracked into a fit of coughing.. Blood... Warm and sharp in his mouth..

He stared down at his hand, stained dark red... The dizziness crept in like a fog.

—Might be a good idea to back down now. –the seraphim said quietly.– Or you’ll die here.

—Die...? — Axel whispered, his voice was quiet now.. He was too tired for rage...

He looked up and the seraphim was standing right in front of him..

So close...

Close enough for Axel to truly see him for the first time. That face... Those eyes.. The strange, quiet beauty. Something about him… pulled at Axel’s attention.

He smirked weakly, sarcastic despite everything.

—Before you try to kill me... mind answering a question?

—Let me guess –the seraphim said with a calm smile.– It’s about my blue eyes?

—....Yes..? –Axel blinked, honestly surprised.

—They’re blue because I’m not an ordinary god. –The seraphim’s wings unfolded, surrounding them like a golden veil.– I’m the Seraphim God of the Moon.

A soft light flickered through Axel’s hair. Something stirred in him, a shift, a vision. And then... he saw them...

Those eyes......

Truly saw them... Deep, bright, impossibly beautiful.....

—You’re one of the strongest... –he murmured.– Why haven’t you killed me yet..?

—I don’t kill people, Axel.. Unlike you, I think about consequences.

Axel didn't even pay attention to his name being said (without even the seraph knowing him), he just tried to laugh again, but blood came instead.. He coughed hard, barely able to stand. (He was very tired, he had already fought a lot that day and all week..)

—Shit...!

—I can heal you –the seraphim offered gently.

—NO! –Axel snapped, stepping back, panting.– I don’t trust “things” like you! So don’t you dare talk to me about healing, idiot...

—You’re barely breathing.. You’re losing too much blood... You really want to keep going like this..? –His eyes stayed calm... Steady..– I just want to heal you... Nothing more..

—I... I can take it..... –Axel gritted his teeth, coughing again.– Damn it...!

Desperate not to collapse in front of the enemy, he tried to bargain.

—Look... I won’t let myself be humiliated in front of my clan.. So just give me one more mark and......

He didn’t even finish the sentence and two more cuts slashed across the same place. The pain was unbearable.

Axel screamed.

Blood poured from his body like a waterfall.. His clothes soaked... He couldn’t breathe, couldn’t move, couldn’t even cough anymore.. His vision blurred, darkness pressed in...

But still, he didn’t fall.

The seraphim stared at him, silent... and strangely impressed..

(“This man... he’s unbelievably strong.”)

That level of willpower.. it wasn’t just rare. It was remarkable.

The seraphim let out a slow breath.

—I’m sorry.. But you... you fascinate me.. I can’t kill you...

—...What....? –Axel tried to say something.

But then arms wrapped around him. And light. A strange kind of pain began to burn in his chest, not destructive, but healing.. It felt like his insides were being rebuilt...

But even that was too much, his body gave out.. He collapsed...

Unconscious.. In the arms of the very being meant to end him... In the arms of one of the strongest seraphim that ever walked this earth..

And well, I'll stop here BUT If you want me to continue with this lore, please tell me!!! I'd would love to tell you the rest and everything!! (also, I really tried HARD to do this here😭 and with the help of a writing teacher of mine, I'm now improving in stories and writing!!! that's why I tried to do my best here, just like I try to do my best in the notebook :])

ALSO- I REALLY like this version of him precisely because he is a little bit “contrary” to canon Axel. Like his design for example, the height of canon Axel is 168 cm, while this version is 183 cm, and this is very funny because it involves a desire of mine since 2020/2021, like: I'm short (really, in this case, not so much, but I consider short), and over the years I've developed a desire to be taller. Axel is short because of me, and in this version he is (more or less) tall because it is my wish, just like Mel-Loly is my “dream self”!

And not only that, his eyes are also swapped with David's, whose design I haven't shown (YET) but which has the same color as canon Axel's eyes.

His ability is also swapped, while canon Axel's is fully controllable (only when he truly transforms does he kind of lose control, but normally it works fine), the RPG!Axel is totally uncontrollable and contrary to a magic that “would help more than it would hinder”!

In addition to his personality also being a little different, canon Axel is not aggressive, just “closed off/in his own”, he doesn’t have the tone of hurting/confronting anyone with rudeness like RPG!Axel has, just with “EQUALITY”.

And yeah, several things that show RPG!Axel being the opposite of canon Axel make me find it funny and kind of like him too, even because canon Axel is ONE of my favorite characters/ocs (of mine), that's why I chose him for this version! :]

THANK YOU SO AND SO MUCH FOR THE ASK, PULIM!!!!!! You are the best, really!!!!🥺💕 Also, hope I've answered your question and, if you/anyone want to send me more questions about RPG!Axel or any of my OCs, please feel free!! :D

Bonus!: He also has a certain ““platonic/sibling affection”” for RPG!Scry, which, even though she “doesn’t like him”, he practically doesn’t care and (much more) doesn't care about everyone's opinion (except that of your husband, which he always finds “very important” lol). Oh, and he thinks RPG!Ink is cool sometimes, he genuinely doesn't know why, he just thinks her style is cool, so he's fine with her. And yeah, as long as no one in the party tries to confront him, he is “on good terms” with everyone.
