            ❝It can be really frightening I suppose.❞

WHERE WAS LIGHT, THERE WAS DARKNESS. But if one side triumphed, if one shadowed the other, all that negativity would continue to evolve and take deeper roots. That had been her case; sorrow, anger, bitterness, helplessness have all been emotions which devoured her heart, which made her resort to unsealing that abyssmal darkness which swallowed everything in its path. ❝You could say that the most terrifying thing was the emptiness which followed after. Once my anger quelled, once I could see clearer.. nothing which I had held any meaning. ❞ Pointless destruction. That pain was not solely inflicted on those who deserved, but innocence people had been affected; they suffered losses, their hearts cried out in pain. Death had never been beautiful for them, nor liberating. It stole what they held more precious. Allowing a heavy sigh of relief go past her lips, she raised her heard towards the sky. That clear blue was peaceful, serene and it calmed her soul. Her sins were hers to bear, nonetheless that experience still remained. The tough lesson Yuna received would forever be imprinted in her mind; its goods and bad had marked her. She was another person now. ❝The more you welcome darkness in your life, the more you seek it, the more it will consume you. You can say that was a lesson. As for what happened next.. well, those years were another form of darkness I confronted. ❞

       It was surprising to hear those words from the other – but? Perhaps more so then anything, it was surprising to hear someone say something to eerily familiar to her own thoughts. She remembered everything she’d done while working for the IGA LEAGUE OF FIVE, she remembered betraying the team that welcomed her back nowadays… ( some more warily then others, but? that was fair. )

      The NUMBNESS that follows when you get what you thought you wanted – was one of the most terrifying things in the world. It was like being adrift. Without a goal, without an anchor . . . for Anastasia, what followed numbness was p a i n. She was welcomed back, but? As a traitor. And the kindness granted her, with or without wanting it? Locked her down like shackles. That was why she was the “BRAVE of ICE” once again. And? After all this time, she was still a TRAITOR in some of their minds. And others have warmed up to her presence once more…

      “… though I can understand how you felt to an extent, and I’m glad that it’s been a learning experience for you, I’m sorry that you felt that way to begin with.” Nothing was worse than feeling “EMPTY” – abandoned. In her life she’d felt that way several times. And somehow, people always reached out to her.

      Even after she’d made mistakes. “Do you want to elaborate? You must want to talk… at least to an extent, to offer these words so willingly. I’m more than happy to hear you out, if you want to talk. Though I certainly don’t know if I can offer you any worthwhile advice.” Anastasia was similar – having a FROZEN HEART years before, due to her own person grudges and anger. And holding onto a HOPE she knew should have died. She’d tortured herself these ways, she knew the person who’d made the mistake was her. And? It’d consumed her for some time. However, she already had a history of being that “ODD WOMAN” according to Yuna… so at the very least, perhaps, she could hear her out.

{ Birthright } -              ( ver ) .paranoia╰☆╮(❝Takumi of Hoshido❞)

( spoilers for birthright )

      Despite Kamui/Corrin choosing their rightful family when given the chance to? Takumi doesn’t trust them. They’ve grown up in Nohr! Chances are that they’re hear to betray them, and are likely still working for the Nohrian’s they grew up alongside... and it certainly takes him a long time to change his opinion about this.

      He’s reluctant to trust and even more reluctant to admit it, when he does decide to trust the other. However, when he has decided that they really are family of his - he is fiercely protective.

{ Conquest } -            ( ver ) .possessed╰☆╮(❝Takumi of Hoshido❞)

      ( spoilers for conquest! )

      Understandably angry of the events that toke place after Kamui/Corrin came home... and the death of the Hoshidian queen, which he believes to have been an intentional attack... He is absolutely enraged at Kamui/Corrin for being “Nohrian”. That he would betray the people of their birth and their rightful family.

       Takumi is absolutely unwilling to bend in this situation. He’s unforgiving and relentless in his pursuit.

{ Revelations } -             ( ver ) .understanding╰☆╮(❝Takumi of Hoshido❞)

      Though it takes a while to come to the peace necessary to work alongside of them all, after a few unfortunate deaths leading to the surprising opportunity of peace... he decides to give it a chance. It was requested of him, after all. And? As things go on, he finds himself supporting this strange “third wing” stage of both sides working together. It takes a while for him to get used to the idea... but he’s actually somewhat glad for the opportunity.

@smiletorn continued from [x]

      “Scared? Truly? Of little ol’ me?” Anastasia asks – attempting to keep a straight face, while a smile tickled at her lips. She couldn’t HIDE things from her younger companion anymore. At least, not little things. The fact that she’d purposely snuck up on the younger Brave was as much of a give away as any. . .

      However, since the other seemed to melt into her hug anyways? Despite her complaints? Anastasia would simply have to assume that she hadn’t truly done anything wrong. Leading to her sticking out her tongue, somewhat childishly, at the others “ t h r e a t. “

      “You wouldn’t do that to me.” Anastasia is quick to say, chuckling a little at the others response – seeing the smaller BRAVE also stick out her tongue slightly. Today they were both acting VERY MATURE, clearly. Though, when ISANAMI gives her a chaste kiss on the nose – Anastasia blinks. Her sapphire eyes widening, for once, earnestly – surprise dancing in them.

      Little things Isanami did had a way of throwing her entirely off her game. ( But – I suppose that was a little of what l o v e was, wasn’t it? )

      This loss would only last a fraction of a second. Composure quickly returned with a chuckle and the comment, “Yes, dear. Yes you do.” And with that, the older B R A V E entirely releases Isanami from her hug. Instead, offering out her hand. The non-vocal cue for the other to come with her. “But only this time. I have a reputation to keep.”

@absortio

   This wasn’t supposed to be like this! How had things fallen apart so quickly? Lunafreya had expected this situation to be a little chaotic after all awakening the Hydraean could very well be the last thing she did. She was known for being temperamental and Lunafreya had been prepared for that. So it was no surprise that she was soaked to the bone her dress tattered as she attempted to gain control of the situation. She couldn’t break now Noctis was counting on her.

   What she hadn’t expected was Ardyn to jump into the situation. She knew he would probably come for her eventually if she still carried the ring. She just hadn’t expected it to be so soon with her only just having formed a covenant with Leviathan. 

   When she had refused to give him the ring she had expected her death. Ardyn was dangerous after all and she knew it. He gave off that vibe. However, he did something completely unexpected. He had simply shrugged and hoisted her up and took her away. No, this wasn’t what she had wanted. She was finally going to get to see Noctis again and now … where was he even going to take her?

   "Put me down, I can walk by myself.“ 

   Although, Lunafreya doubted he would listen he probably expected her to run the second she could and he wasn’t exactly wrong. However, she wasn’t going to just pick a direction and take off. That would be absolutely foolish on her part.

      “Do you truly believe that is often how ‘hostage’ situations work, my lady Oracle?”

      The mocking words left the man’s mouth with an obvious smile. It was a funny thought – that she was asking to be put down, when he’d clearly snatched her up for a reason. The idea of KILLING her had been a realistic one. It would have been easy to snatch up the R I N G from her corpse, or he could have propelled things into motion by acting out in front of the . . . still immature prince.

      It would have worked out alright that way. He wasn’t sure what had caused him to change his plan of action. Or why he’d thought this would work out for the better.

      “If I put you down right now, you’d attempt to leave – and that wouldn’t get… pretty. I would likely have to break your legs to keep you from running, no? So would you rather be carried? Or dragged?” The words, the question, sounded a m u s e d. What would she say from her position? Hoisted upon his shoulder like a sack of potatoes? “I can at least give you that option, I suppose.” He adds, with a hum…

      Today was turning into a rather ( INTERESTING ) day, to say the least.

Stolen Light [ Lunafreya & Ardyn ]

❛ Hanzo, have you ever burped out fire before? ❜ [ i was going through my drafts and there was this conversation isanami had with a friend where if someone ate too much spicy food that's how they breathe fire or something and now i'm going to do the noble thing and spam braves who have control over elements with stupid questions ]

      A snort escapes the BRAVE of FIRE when his smaller companionasks him that – oh god. These werethe sorts of things she thought about? This was what she became curious enoughabout… that she hunted him down to ask? Truly?

       “Have I evermentioned that I love the way your brain works?” The crimson-haired manasks, aloud, as he reaches to ruffle the others hair carefully. He didn’t wantto mess it up, though, he was very amused. “BecauseI do. Truly.” He wasn’t really teasing,ether. As an IGA shinobi, he thought it rather sweet that this was how his smaller companion’s head worked. Howshe ticked.

     As he’d always been a warrior, he couldn’t say that he’dever had such a genuinely innocent thought…

      But? “I think theonly time I did something like that,” He starts, scratching at his cheek ashe averts his gaze. It wasn’t an… overly embarrassing story, but it was stillsilly. An amateur mistake made by an amateur.  “Waswhen I was younger. Part of my training was to take alcohol into my mouth, so thatI could surprise my enemy. My teacher told me I was supposed to use it as anaccelerant. I did, but? I hiccupped? Long story short – I got into a lot oftrouble for setting stuff on fire that I wasn’t meant to.”

     He grins a little, half-awkwardly. If anyone else had asked,he would have just laughed at them for asking a “s t u p i d” question. But sincehis young friend had asked? He would tell her the truth. Even if it didn’t painthim in the light of being the “ultimate shinobi” that the name “HATTORI HANZO” implied.“Keep it between us, though, will you?” Headds, putting a finger to his lips. “Nobody got hurt in that incident, but? If Ilet it be known that I did such a thing, Saizou will know it was me who burnt theside of his home in Iga, while he was out training with his master andAnastasia once…” By that, he was saying this – yep. He’d been young at thetime. But? He had been older then the other two already. He was considered a “professionalamateur” at the time. An official shinobi, but? With limited experience. So?That sort of slip up… well… didn’t look great.

      And so far, he hadn’t been caught for thatincident. At least not by them, so? He’dlike to keep it that way.

// hattori hanzou - verses

{ Loyalty } -                   ( ver ) .tokugawa shinobi╰☆╮(❝Hattori Hanzou❞)

      A former shinobi from Iga, back before it’s fall, Hattori Hanzou has been working for Ieyasu since a young age. And? Since then, he’s been getting used to his new Lord’s antics. He is grumpy most of the time, however? He has decided to stick around his side... Becoming the head shinobi of the Tokugawa Shinobi, and following his masters orders absolutely.

{ Retired } -                 ( ver ) .scars remain╰☆╮(❝Hattori Hanzou❞)

      Having been ordered to help Enju in her escape, Hanzou was very severely injured. Due to that, he’s not much of a shinobi anymore. However: That hasn’t stopped his connections to his former Lord, who keeps insisting that he take land and a title as offered to him... Even though he’d be content to live as a hermit.

{ Brave 10 / After Betrayal } –                     ( ver ) .icicle╰☆╮(❝Anastasia❞)

      All cards on the table, Anastasia is now known as a traitor, and a member of the “Iga League of Five.” She is cold, aloof, and appears to have no genuine interest in the Braves, their leader, or anything else. However? There is an amount of sadness in her eyes that doesn’t match her actions… or her words. Does she care? Doesn’t she? Part of her training makes it difficult to find out.

{ Brave 10 / Before Betrayal } –                    ( ver ) .frost╰☆╮(❝Anastasia❞)

       Anastasia: The playful, teasing, Brave of Ice. She was one of the first few Braves, and has been with Yukimura ever since her first attempt at killing him. She was surprised to see her childhood friend, Saizou, join the group, but? It’s just made her even more playful- Much to the distress of some of the other comrades. However? She does say and do some things sometimes… that make it difficult to find out whether or not she’s truthfully close to them or not.

{ Brave 10 S } –                   ( ver ) .snow╰☆╮(❝Anastasia❞)

       Very surprisingly, Anastasia has returned after her betrayal… and has been given the chance to return to the group as the “Brave of Ice.” (Much to her own surprise.) She has become quieter and more loyal. She spends a lot more time patrolling and doing just about everything asked out of her. Ana has always been a serious and strong kunoichi, however? She seems busier than ever. She does, however, appear more genuinely attached to the group now.

{ Iga Kunoichi } –                    ( ver ) .blizzard╰☆╮(❝Anastasia❞)

      An unattached kunoichi whose only connection is to the clan that raised her, Anastasia is a vicious and powerful woman. She is a hired hand, and willing to work for most people, as long as the pay is high enough. She has no care for those she works for, however, and seems to only connect with a few of the people she’s known in Iga for a long time. However? She is old enough now, and trained enough, that she can also train others into Iga.

{ Rogue Kunoichi } –                   ( ver ) .permafrost╰☆╮(❝Anastasia❞)

      Through with being tied to the group that trained her, Anastasia has gone off on her own. Without the protection and such of the group? Anastasia is a little more vicious, because? She needs to be. After all: She’s obviously a foreigner, which doesn’t do well for her already… And? Being a free-roaming kunoichi? It’s a little harder for her to get jobs, without the Iga name behind her. “Don’t waste my time. If you don’t have the money? Get lost. I have no time for charity work.”

{ Modern AU } –                   ( ver ) .flurry╰☆╮(❝Anastasia❞)

      A senior at high school, Anastasia is a bit of an odd one. A foreign exchange student from Russia, she came her to master Japanese as a second language. So far? It seems to be going very well, however? Because she sometimes struggles with her language skills, it can make her appear a little cold or distant, because it can be difficult for her to communicate well. (Translating things in her head, switching it over, and then finally speaking? Can make her a little slow in responding to things at times.)

      Based on the mini-game in Danganronpa V3 where everyone is a part of Hope’s Peak Academy, this is where he has a rather natural school life alongside of everyone else. Of course, he’s still reluctant to actually play tennis anymore... but surrounded by these people and their talents has at least inspired a spark of interest in his own talent again. Can he truly retire so early in his life? Especially when he still has so much love for the sport?
