"A million times I have done this charade. The moment people figure it out, I get the boot." she thought.

"But don't you want to see the fear in their eyes when they see who you really are...? Don't you want dominion of this place, just like how you were unchallenged in Vaal Kastrix?" said the Voice.

Ciara scoffed, immediately thinking of Gulliver and Valen. "I'd love to wipe the smirk off their faces."

"It starts by building a rumor. A rumor of power. This could be the place to start."

She took a deep breath, narrowing her eyes resolutely at the Undermage. "Head Advisor, with all due respect, you have no right to ask me about my intentions. If you want answers..."

She stood from her seat, rising to her full height.

"You'll have to duel me for them."

Her breath caught when she felt the cold metal of a pistol against her temple.

"Put the heart down, and back the hell up if you want your friend to live," the guard said to Ellie in a rumbling baritone, digging the gun into Dream's head.

Dream squinted at Ellie, vision blurred as she tried to breathe. The heart, glinting in Ellie's hands.

The doctor, his face turning white every time she asked what would happen if they failed. Above all else, he said, they had to keep the heart safe. They had to, even if it meant...

She snarled, her boot stamping down on the guard's foot, a burst of light bruising the bone. He yelped, losing his grip. That's all she needed, and she tore away. But in her haste, she saw his free arm reaching for her, and she slipped on panicked feet as he pushed her off the railing.

She held back a scream, staring straight down into the boiling pit below. The guard wrapped a tight hand around her ankle, and Ellie could see Dream's other foot flailing; she restrained herself poorly from kicking the guard, desperately hoping she wouldn't die.

As her captor supported himself against the railing, his pistol pointed at Ellie.

"I'll drop her, I swear I'll drop her!"

I'm grateful for the ride. (2024)




Deep, golden orbs stared back at her from within the cave.

God, she couldn't breathe.

He was monstrous. The ground trembled under her feet as his rippling, massive body exited the cave. Thunderous footsteps left cracks in the dirt, his breath sent waves of heat creeping over her skin. The transformation was slow, but it looked like something from a nightmare with the way his long teeth were bared.

A great and terrible roar sounded from his gaping maw.

She needed to run. Now.

And Theo takes the plunge! Absolutely beautiful post, Days. We are starting to see the cracks in this beautiful family...
Since the collab doesn't change the events that happen in the pyramid, I think you'd be okay, Days. :>

Also, yes you're correct on Cosy's end. :)
Whoops, all good Days. There's no rush. :)
The relations look awesome, Blizz and Nori. :)

And can I just say what a thrill it was to work on this most recent collab with Ghost, Blizz and Atomic? One of the best collaborations I've had the pleasure of working on in the past 10 years.

Here's to more.
Busy, busy. :)

Ciara Ventura

Acendia, Room 103 Fountain
@Nanaya, @Psyker Landshark



"I thought you were above petty sadism!"

And just like that, Ciara's captive audience was destroyed. By none other than Iraleth.

"Next time, finish the job. You do yourself no favors like this.”

Ciara was quiet, shadows disappearing into smoke as Otis' sword was returned to her hand. She stooped, picking up a wood scrap of what remained of her foe. The duo that chased out darkness like her for a living.

Her eyes shifted to Iraleth's glare.

Yet again, the light was interfering. She couldn't do anything in peace now, not with Iraleth's suspicion hot and burning.

“Oh, but we love it, though.”

“Let the Light look at us all it wants.”

“It satisfies some of the urge to Taste, yes.”

A wry smirk crossed Ciara's features as she dropped the wood piece, standing straight. Her stomach knotted painfully in Hunger as the Voices delighted in Iraleth's attention.

Ah, if only Iraleth knew.

“I'll continue to do what I want until we duel. Then, you can try to change my mind.”

Seeing a bit more of Iraleth's magic up close invigorated Ciara's spirit. She'd fight hard, and fight well that evening. Of course, there was more than just ‘changing her mind’ up for grabs on the table. Her life too, was at risk.

But alas, that train of thought would have to wait.

Trees tore through the air before crashing to the ground, causing Ciara's attention to turn. The professor seemed to be at the source of this attack but - she sniffed the air - what source? He couldn't have full control of the very earth in this place, could he?

It was hard to tell, she felt half-blind in this space. There was no essence in the air with which to feel and detect things.

The spinning bullet in the professor's knee was a satisfying development, to be sure. Made Ciara feel a little better since Davil had been hurt so. But damn him for moving around with his arms like that…

’Knock-knock’.

Of course she opened the door to the familiar mental link. All of a sudden, there was a web of entangled thoughts springing from one end to the other. Ciara didn't concern herself with that, though. Her task was simple, as she laid eyes on the professor like a lion hunting a lamb.

Keep opposite of Iraleth, and use the shadows.

She could work with that.

But first, perhaps an opener. Test the barrier, and stop all the idle chatter the professor and Chunji were partaking in.

She hefted her slender sword in her hand, twirling it so the tip aimed down. Then, she took a step forward, and launched towards the professor from behind, the sword swinging down to smash across his back.

She wanted to see how many slivers and cracks she could tear into that barrier of his.

Surely this would give him something to talk about at the break room.

Another collab?! Oh lucky daysss! Yep, no worries, take your time. We will wait patiently. :)
AHHHHH!!!

You've done it again, Days! From the dress choices to the emotional character development - letting us actually see how Theo and Auri have changed, and how they get along now. And talking about how they both feel about their parents and Nick…

The true and epic tragedy of the de Villiers family. What a beautifully broken family. //raises glass in a toast

Now Cosette is with Thierry, and she is with Sabrina, like a properly shattered and divorced family


This… this broke my already shattered heart.

Her baby brother was a man, and Aurélie was stuck in time as a teenager.


This captures the skip between Candyland and Dark Beyond so… so utterly perfectly…

She had never really liked embraces, yet she couldn’t help but long to be back in the one her father gave her upon finding her.


I’m- I'm gonna cry-

He knew the truth now, and that made this whole event tonight a weird mixture of faded pride, muted self-importance and cognitive dissonance.


Theo has grown up into quite the young man! This development is awesome, and a little heartbreaking.

Heartrate picks up when presented with pictures of the Vice President.


Awwwww, so sweet. :>

So both Angel and Days have posted on the gala, so I think that means it's @Lexisheeps turn to post next? Unless Angel wants to post again?

(The reaction gifs were a joy to go through, by the way, Lexi.)
Enjoy Japan! Take Ella Brook's ghost with you. :>

Also... has that 'Part. 1' in the title always been there.....?
Sure, sure! Lemme DM you. :)
