WARBRINGER.

“It’s not my fault,” Ava repeated, even though she knew that it was a useless effort.

“They took things from you, too, didn’t they?!”

Ava took a step forward, courageous if only for a moment, until Wrathia had to remind her of that hellish scene.

“That power… it killed people.”

I killed them– they deserved it, though, right?

“I’ve been searching for the book!” She really had been, desperately so. “I’ve looked all over this city…”

“Unfortunately, thanks to you I’m more than familiar with being powerless. For fifteen years. That much you should know.” Which isn’t a complete lie, were it not for the power’s absence she wouldn’t be so dependent on Ava.

Wrathia almost frowned when Ava’s newfound attitude died so quickly. 

“Oh, they had it coming. Don’t worry about their unfortunate souls, dying is a better fate than being a tyrant’s prisoner.” She laughs, arms crossed over the chest. 

And she grips the girl’s shirt, both hand bawling into fists and ruthlessly whisking her up by it.

“Regretting things now, are we? That is just like you... taking things for granted, like my powers. Ava, I don’t think you understand this, but I’m not inside your head anymore. And I’m very, very real.” her smile is menacing. “Without the book, you are useless to me, so it’s better you find it, and fast.”

Ava flinches hard at the Vengess’ words, her small hands balling up into fists.

“I didn’t lose them!”

“They were taken from me! Everyone loses things when they come here– that’s what everyone says!”

By that logic, Ava knew that Wrathia was weakened as well– but that did nothing to calm her, rather it only made her all the more anxious to see what explosive reactions these facts would incur.

“It’s not my fault…”

Ava whined, unable to stop herself from doing so, or from lifting up said key upon a string from under her shirt. She held it up where Wrathia could see it, but still kept it close to her frame.

“The key was all I had when I got here.”

Regardless of how furious she may be, the Vengess can’t help but smile as fear and self pity consumed Ava within every passing second, making her fumble and mumble more than usual. Ah yes, she could get used to this new life if it meant watching her host’s agony this up-close.

At least the key is safe.

So, Yang wasn’t the only one guilty of mistaking strangers for other people.

An arm waved above Weiss’s head as this woman came into view. Her tired mind registered only two traits: dark hair, curved horns. Those two traits applied only to one other friend and person in Hive, that being Aradia. Of course, the possibly sleep deprived Schnee girl came to the conclusion that this woman absolutely must be her troll friend.

“Aradia!” She called out, her voice pitched high and just as cheerful as ever. She bounded a few paces closer and eventually stopped as a hybrid mixture of horror and embarrassment washed over her at the realization that this person wasn’t her friend at all. In fact, she was… rather intimidating.

“… I’m… Oh. Do, forgive me, I mistook you for someone else.”

Pride isn’t it even her sin, yet it holds her at gun point every time an insignificant rat mistakes her for some other inferior life form. Perhaps wrath and pride are two sides of the same coin, because where pride strands there goes wrath burning everything up.

And boy, she is very close from burning up, literally. Her already warm and orange skin lighting up like the rising sun. 

Ava had no idea what was worse– hearing Wrathia’s voice hiss in her ear, or having to see her right in front of her while in the waking world.

She couldn’t look at her, she could only stare at the ground. Even now, when Wrathia was here asking her questions, Ava could only tense.

“I–I don’t know,” she finally blurted out.

“I just, woke up here, and I couldn’t hear you anymore–and everything in my chest was gone… those scientists took it all from me– the glasses, your book, the phone…”

Ava inhaled sharply.

“I’ve been here alone for three months.”

Wrathia falls silent, for the very first time in forever she is at a loss for words. But of course it did not last long, this is the Vengess Ava is dealing with, after all.

“You... You lost them?” she scoffs, breath rising in temperature just like her skin, fury barely contained. “Why am I even surprised? That is just what I should expect from such  incompetent being like yourself.” 

Her teeth grind, jaw clenching whilst as she stepped forward without thinking. Strangling Ava won’t solve anything, no matter how tempting the idea may be, it won’t bring any of her belongings back.

it wasn’t just a wild guess, after all. “so you do know each other.” 

while she began to look more threatening, her body glowing hot and her teeth bared, akira didn’t flinch for a moment. “i want you to tell me everything you know.”

Laughter echoes, livid and uncontained.

“Yea, but they make it fun. Life gets dull if you don’t have a challenger in life!! and.. i like it? You try to score points by getting a ball into a little hole called a pocket. Depending on the lay out of the coarse it can be verry difficult. but most people find it a little dull to watch.” 

[ LISTEN,,,,,,

“Yea but if you kill everyone around you, there isn’t anyone to be in awe of your actions! What’s the point in doing amazing things if you kill anyone that might have a chance of admiring everything you do? and mini golf? You’re telling me that someone as amazing looking as you doesn’t know what mini golf is?!”

  “Ok, but the real question is how are we killin’ em? It’s the execution that matters here.” Aaand cue a giggle. Get it? Execution?

“I save death for more important things. Plus it’s just hotdogs, and even If i’m retired it’s not worth killing my boss over a tub shaped meat. Now…mini golf….”

if there was something to be said for that, akira wondered if he had to be any more on guard. though vengess didn’t sound much better, he had his suspicions in the fact that she didn’t attack him given her first chance. maybe his assumptions were wrong, but he’d stay weary for the time being.

“i’ll give you that much. but that still doesn’t explain why you seem so familiar. maybe there’s someone in this city you might know.”

And her skin burned, bright like the sun, anger consuming her like fire does to a match. How brave and foolish he is for bearing such idea, that someone had the privilege of resembling the Vengess, even if slightly! Well, it sure seems like someone here has a short temper, ready to throwdown with bare hands and all, if not for a simple detail.

in part, he wasn’t expecting to be called out on it. though people never seemed to keep to themselves in this city, do they?

“i think i have some idea,” akira says, resting back as he continues to look over her. he was far from intimidated, knowing he’d faced much worse than her before. 

“you’re a demon, that much is obvious.” 

Of course he would say that, after all it is what every human in their right mind say upon looking at Wrathia. Ava, however, would agree with him on that.
