CURSES /LMK.

thirteen

(Y/n)'s day had commenced with a subtle purring in her ear, she blinked away any weariness and shrugged the noise away, pulling herself up in a sitting position; in the process. She turned towards the sound, Macaque laid next to where her body was once resting, of course being in a deep sleep. He laid in a curled position his tail curling around her leg, unconsciously, leaving her completely attached to his side. It seemed she had never made it to bed as she sat on the matted ground, lost in thought. When she first met the fiend, off battlegrounds, she had never heard of such a creature. So similar to Wukong, yet so different. She couldn't help but wonder if this were the most peaceful he had been in centuries. "Six Eared Macaque," his name left no bitter taste in her mouth nor a sick feeling to her stomach. She felt at ease with him.

Her eyes softened as she stared at him absentmindedly, admiring his calmed features. A sudden voice snapped her out of her trance, "Oh, you're awake?" Macaque croaked out as he stretched his back, removing his tail from her leg, in hopes she didn't notice. She hummed out a yes as he went to stand, her following in suit. He rose his hands above his head stretching once more before heading towards his small kitchen. She stared as he scoured his cabinets before heaving a large, exaggerated sigh.

"No food.." he trailed off before tsking, he looked (y/n) over before; sighing once more. He walked towards her, "Okay, look we have not a single grain of rice in this place..I need you to go out and buy some groceries. You can get whatever you want, but just make sure to get these exact things." In a puff of dark matter a list appeared in his palm, he gave it to her as she looked at him in puzzlement, "Macaque..why is it you cannot attend this 'groceries' with me?" He placed his hands behind his head smiling half-wittingly, "Because I have more important matters to attend to." She rolled her eyes before nodding hesitantly, "Alright.." She had never heard of such a thing but surly it wouldn't be too difficult. The list she was handed was nothing more but an organized list of mortal food's: rice, milk bread, plums, and mangos.

"The address of the grocery store is on that paper, so don't worry your pretty little head off about getting lost! Also be back by sunset!" He spoke quickly as move her towards the doors. He pushed her gently towards the exit, into the hallway, shutting the door in front of her. She huffed looking to the list then to the exit. She activated her glamour, making her way up the steps that led to the outdoors before swinging the doors open to a lively, bustling city. She looked to the paper then to the streets of Megapolis, she had no idea on how to reach this "grocery store," but she quickly made haste and followed into the beat of the crowd.

Lost. She was completely and utterly lost. She found herself in an alleyway, away from any people. She faced towards the sky which now happened to be a soft sunset of an array of colors. She sighed defeated, slouching on a nearby brick wall. Macaque will be disappointed. She sighed once more thinking of what had happened throughout her day. With no lead on where to go she had begun her adventure blindly. On a few occasions she had gone and asked bystanders for any sort of aid; or rather directions, in response she was met with weird glances and "I'm late for work." She tsked wrapping her arms around her waist, returning empty handed was out of the question. She brought her hand to her mouth, biting her finger deep in thought scouring her mind for a solution.

For a moment the world seemed to have gone quiet, she peered around questioningly. Peeking her head around the corner, over her shoulder. No one, no humans whatsoever. In such a large populated city it left her with a rather odd and eerie feeling. She bit the inside of her cheek, processing the uncanny atmosphere. A metallic thumping echoed distantly, her ears twitching in response. She returned to her former position; back to wall. The noise grew louder; suddenly halting. She steadied her breathing and shuffled her pose. An eerie mechanical scratching began to repeat, followed by a constant beep. She popped out of the alleyway alert. To her surprise it was a mechanical bull..Multiple mechanical bulls.

They redirected their attention to her, red hues glaring. In a sharp rhythmic beat they commenced a battle with her. One after another they threw themselves towards the woman. As quick as they came she dodged them efficiently, quickly wrapping them in vines to sustain them from any movement. Their witty short distant battle soon turned into one of long distance. As they aimed at her accordingly in hopes to being her down. She opted to cover herself in her vines, bending the greenery to her will, creating a shell of safety. They shot at the shell in such rapid velocity, they left her little to no time in recreating the walls of her safety. As she scoured her mind to think of any possible solution of escape. A seething sharp pain came from her right arm; she had been shot.

The shell soon relaxed into the ground. She tightened her grip on her right arm, trying to stop the bleeding. She struggled to handle the pain, hissing through her teeth. To occupied with sharp pain she failed to notice the bulls surrounding her. She pulled herself together, looking around cautiously. There was no escape. She tsked, shutting her eyes awaiting her fated doom. As the bulls readied their armory to end her life. An obnoxious shouting began, causing the bulls to hold their fire. She looked through her eyelashes, stunned. A young man with vibrant red hair appeared behind the bulls.
He wore red suspender straps, with silver knee-pads, as well as red makeup above his eyebrows. She furrowed her brows as he ranted to the bulls even kicking a few of them.

But what surprised her was his silver necklace, with the Demon Bull Family's insignia on it. The boy finally ended his tantrum before turning to the woman scoffing rudely, "And who are you supposed to be! A pesky human!" He moved towards her stopping once he was in front of her. She was taken aback by his suddenness, not really knowing what to say. He rolled his eyes, "Well? I haven't all day, you know! As the demon bull families prince it is my duty on taking over this disgusting human realm!" He stated his last sentence proudly, her eyes widened slightly. "Demon Bull King.." she muttered the familiar name to herself before reaching out to the boy, clasping her hands around his.

"You! You are the Demon Bull Kings seed! His child!" She shouted with small optimism, "You must take me to your father, the Demon Bull King, at once!" He stared at the woman, who he had no recognition of whatsoever. She was just another human, was she not? But any ordinary human would be shaking merely at his fathers name. She had.. hope in her eyes. He scanned the woman over before replying, "Who are you?"

"My name is (Y/N), The Wicked Nymph"
