✘

✦━ ━ 𝐀𝐒 𝐘𝐎𝐔 slowly feel your consciousness rouse a heavy fog settles on your mind. You can't fully recall what just happened immediately but you remember falling, getting hit by.. Fireball's? There was definitely a cannibal being shot towards you and then...drowning?

"-not much-asleep-"

"Ack-!"

The quite familiar pain engulfed your already fuzzy mind sending your nerves quite an alarming signal as your eyes pry itself open. Your ears were ringing mildly as your sense of sight returned to your body, you definitely could tell that feeling anything at this moment but pain would be much better.

As your hand passes through the soft texture underneath you, you paused. A bed? Is it a bed? You winced as you willed your body upwards on the soft mattress underneath you, criss crossing your legs as you took the time to examine your wings, tears welding in your eye sockets.

You could make out the wrapped pieces of cloth bandaging the burns securely, taking a shaky breath you calmed the quickened sound of your heart beat, the hot tears streaming down your patched face making your lidded eyes blick twice before you carefully raised your hands to dry the continuous stream off of your patterned cheeks. Soft sniffling was the only sound being heard in your little cell.

With your curled fluffy bangs hanging quite low to block your brown eyes, you snapped your fingers summoning a white bandana with a star insignia to cover them for a while, now concentrating on taking the clingy water out of your damp clothing.

"-have-figure out-worth like this-"

"-think they're-up-"

The voices slowly start to get louder and louder with their footsteps making themselves known to you that they were indeed coming towards your direction.

"Oh, look he's sitting up already, he must be awake.."

The voice was familiar, you could hear the smirk radiating off her voice as the other one speaks.

"I hope you know you have to apologize to him.."

They went silent for a moment and with a small inaudible sigh, your eyes open, using the star insignia on your bandana as a way to see the three pirates. They came to your cell first and not the Drown's?

You could hear an exhausted sigh bring you out of your thoughts, you tilted your head to the side as the amber eyed woman glanced at you then back to the captain of this gosh forsaken ship.

"I honestly don't remember seeing a bandana around this kid's eyes at first.."

"A bandana? Oh, what? How-did he always have one?"

"I wasn't the one to carry him down here Rein, how am I supposed to know!"

"If you're not gonna talk to me, at least speak to each other quietly.."

There was silence, your voice startled the women. It had so much authority yet a hint of rudeness in it that they had to blink at least three times before Rein, the lime green haired one, fired back.

"And who the hell are you talking to kid!?"

You didn't respond for a moment releasing your fingers from each other to rest your elbows on your knees, having that supposed comfortable yet cheeky position your voice carried off the uninterested tone as it usually does.

"You.."

Seeing the rage flash in her blue eyes, you gave an unsatisfied glare - not that she could see it anyway - but the feeling did come across like you expected, making her almost bang the cell. Lucky Rose, the third person in this party, was there to calm her down, using her arms to wrap around her waist, caging her in like a wild animal while Elise stayed behind and watched the chaos unfold.

"Calm down Captain..let's not make this already worse than it is.."

With a huff she snatched the pieces of clothing that..honestly look like they were too small for you and cast them forward, "What do you mean calm down!? I'm calm! He just got on my nerves, that's all!"

The Raven-nette sighed, drawing her attention to you seeing that you made no advancements towards them or the clothes that were chucked over towards you. She decided to speak to you having no expression on her face at the moment. "Hey kid, what's your name?"

You folded your arms, your brown hues giving a faint glow of gold as your brows furrowed, you didn't answer and with just that gesture the woman understood your motive. You were uncomfortable telling them who you were, you didn't even know if you could tell them that you're not just some kid with wings and all that crap.

No I can't do that...she told me there was a law on using your Greek given names in these worlds..Would I get in trouble? I would if it is against the rules...

With no answer from you the three women watched you silently ponder on the thought of answering their question. You shook your head sliding off the bed provided and taking your time to walk down the stairs towards the chucked clothing and them.

As you approached them you picked up the top and pants and thrust it towards the threesome, your hand extended out and neither a frown or smile graced your plump lips.

"My clothes are already dry, I don't need these.."

Captain Rein took the clothes out of your hands, okay saying that made it sound like she took it gently, she snatched the top and pants out of your hands out of spite, her eyebrow raised and an irk mark formed on her forehead. She folded her arms across her chest, leaving you with the same jarring question on why she doesn't wear a shirt and just a bra with a jacket that doesn't do justice for her. With a start her voice was demanding asking you her question not before scoffing at you.

"Ha, oh please, I bet you're still soaking wet right now! Must you put on the tough boy act..?"

She sighed, placing her hands on her hips and turned towards Rose, "Call for Carrie, tell her to unlock his cell and guide him to his room.."

You cocked your own eyebrow folding your arms as you watched the Raven-nette nod her head at the instruction then disappear into the corridor from whence she came, her footsteps became distant and now you could only focus on the two women in front of you.

"Hey, she hasn't apologized to me yet...!"

Your eyes locked on to Elise who shrugged her shoulders at your statement before receiving a harsh shove from Rein then an annoyed groan escaped her mouth.

"Ugh, fine..! Sorry for burning your wing kid.."

"And who shot me with the cannonball? My wing is definitely going to take a while before I'm able to heal it.."

You took a moment to check your wings again, noticing the right side was unable to make any sort of actual movement, you tucked it back with the other one quite slowly to minimize the pain while a sigh came out of your mouth.

Moving your attention back onto the duo you returned to your resting deadpan face realizing they were invested in another argument that you didn't want to be a part of nor have the energy to break.

They took their time leaving you to yourself still quite invested in their conversation, not that you mind of course, you still had a Deity to summon and yell at for unintentionally sending you to a universe that you regret calling interesting.

Moving away from the receding chatter, you turned your attention towards the desk and chair that stood right next to you. Your eyes focused on the figure that was in the mirror that was provided with the desk.

It was you.

Your appearance was different, but not entirely different from the person you were. Your hair was short, it curled around your neck, the fluffy and curly parts of it stayed but the length that you accustomed to werent there to be gazed upon.

It was like someone cut it shorter for you and did an amazing style with it also. The antler-like horns you were supposed to have weren't there which concerned you to an extent but you brushed it off for the while.

Your skin was the same, it was mostly tan before the whole idea of a skin disease came along making it now decorated with patches of white. Again something you are accustomed to. Your hands shoved itself into the deep pockets of your pants.

They were black parachute pants, very stylish in modern times and in a style you didn't mind at all, a few chains dangled at the end of its belt decorated with diamond and cloud silver jewelry. A black top hung on your shoulders and covering it was a denim blue jacket; its sleeves almost covered your hands completely while its pockets were zip up and empty.

The familiar bandana coming into view with a slight gingle of the cross earring dangling from your humanoid ears then your smile being replicated onto the mirror, you couldn't lie you very much liked your outfit.

If you do get a chance you might actually commend your caretaker for the style but scold her about the length of your hair, though it means less struggle it also means all the time you had taking care of it was gone. Vanished. A thousand years down the drain.

A few minutes passed, you weren't counting this time, your mind fully focused on the damage that was done to your wings, your eyes were closed and your patched fingers were entwined with each other while keeping your legs criss-crossed on the bed.

You were fully immersed with this current task until...a few taps came to your ears but you didn't stir, keeping your composure, then another soft tapping made your head tilt sideways, your eyebrow twitching.

What the hell do you want now universe???

"Um..excuse me...!"

The voice was quite timid and a bit soft, you tilted your head forward opening your sleepy eyes for another familiar woman to come into view, her magenta eyes locking with your nomad ones though she couldn't see them.

She stood behind the wooden rails of the cell peering through its little holes waving a sleeved hand seeing that she might have gotten your attention. You stretched your arms hearing a few pops that made a smile appear on your face. You gave a sigh before addressing the woman in front of you.

"Your Carrie I presume?"

"Oh, uh..! Yes...! I'm Carrie and, uh, I was entrusted to let you out of your cell..."

You gave her a curt nod slipping off the dry mattress and with a few jumps off the stairs your laced boots landed perfectly on the wooden floor just in time for the door to swing open granting you your exit. You made your way towards the woman stuffing your hands into your pants as she moved out of the way for you to pass, closing the door behind her.
