#vanu

I was going to redo the Gyo because his proportions are OOF but here we are anyway. \o;;;

WHY DOES THIS SUIT VANU SO WELL.

(After the blankfate rp I got to thinking more on this version of Sarah. Sure her original story is mine but this version can still be explored. So we go to age 12 and to the 19th century with @captainthane ‘s Claire.

Note this is not canon to Valiant souls unless the creators say it. I just wanted to see how my Angel concept fitted. Also, Valiant souls belong to @superyoumna @hammie-heart and @wolfwrathknight  Sarah, Eric and Vanu are mine.)

The entire time Claire was in London She was certain that someone was following her. The only thing she was certain of that it wasn’t a demon.

At least I didn’t pick up any demons. Everything looks normal, but if that’s the case why are things uneasy.

Still, she went about her day as normal but still kept an eye out on who could be following her. She quickly ducked into an ally and waited for anyone to approach.

To her shock, it was only a little girl. She looked around twelve.

She came out from her hiding place to go to her. A child like her should have somewhere to go

I’ll have to have a word with whoever left a child like that on their own.

The girl backs away glaring. “Don’t come anywhere near me demon.”

Her eyes widened at that declaration. Still, she tried to be reassuring. “I’m no threat, you don’t need to be scared.”

The child shook her head. “I’m not scared. I’m just getting you before you get me.” Her eyes gave a purple glow but that’s not what Claire was focusing on. She focused on the white glow that was appearing in the child’s hand.

Almost like I’m afraid of it. No, it’s more like Fona’s afraid of it.

Just as the child was about to lunge and man came up from behind. He had a goofy grin on his face but the child wasn’t buying any of it.

“Now now Sarie. For once I’m saying it’s a no go.”

He looks more like the child’s older brother than anything.

“Get off me, Eric! Just because you are not working like that doesn’t mean this woman isn’t dangerous.”

He just laughed. “Yes but so are you. Still, I don’t think She’s working for dewana.“

Claire sighed. Things were starting to make a little more sense. “We are not working for her but I’m guessing your not either.”

His eyes flashed a shade of red before grinning. “Oh what gave me away. No matter, there are better places than this for us to talk.”

I have no idea if he’s taking any of this seriously.

“So what is the story with that girl?”

They took the time to go to a tea while Sarah took time to pout in her seat. She still hadn’t taken her eyes off Claire.

“Technically I work for one of the local nobles. We found her as she ran away but that’s not the kicker here.” It wasn’t that surprising that a fusion got a job, Claire just didn’t expect that well of a job.

I’m assuming he’s talking about her strange gifts.

He took a sip of his tea.”I actually took a peek at her soul, it does look human but something more is there. It reminded Vanu of a rumor of the divine.”

“So is this girl some kind of Angel then?” Honestly, Fona was drawing a blank but it made sense. Explained how her power gave off fear for demons.

Eric just grinned as he patted Sarah’s hair. “It’s my guess she’s more of a hybrid of that. It’s quite exciting when you think of it.”

The child just glared at him. “I told you to stop doing that Eric!”

He just laughed leaving Claire to just look at the sibling-like relationship.

Though the key is. What are his intentions?

“So, what exactly are your intentions?” Her own eyes flashed red. Depending on what he said may decide if she even lets the child stay.

He just laughs. “Nothing, I just think this is fun. Vanu wasn’t exactly the type to work for a demon queen and while I may like the money from my job. That’s all it is, a job.”

She sighed. “Though the child better not be living in the streets.”

Sarah looked at Claire still a little miffed. “I’m a live-in servant at the same place the moron works at.”

Well, that’s a relief.

“Look, I’m just gonna go if she’s not a threat.”

Eric just sighed as Sarah began to walk off. “Well, at the very least I can say we are no threat to you. Though you can’t say that about all fusions.”

She took a sip of her tea with almost a resigned look. At least they were gonna be doing well. “Well, I’ll keep your secret. Fiona and I aren't exactly in the queen's good graces at the moment. It won’t make a difference either way.”

Eric's grin turned sly as he finished his tea. “So want me to show you around the city sometime?”

“No.” She continued drinking her tea unfazed by the flirting.

I’ll give him an A for effort if that counts for anything.

He sighed. “Well, it was worth a shot. Still, if you're in town again look us up. I’m sure Sarie would like to talk. Despite her pouting face.”

Well, this has been an interesting encounter. Still, I hope to see them again someday.
