OC In throne of glass

39

Neon let himself remember that dreamlike life when the monsters he was afraid of were the imaginary ones hiding under his bed.
Once upon a time, there was a boy who watched everything he loved burn.He never ever let himself listen to the merciless taunts of the dark queen who felt the need to constantly remind him of what was about to happen.
Even you break Neon Riding.
Neon had learnt that Aelin and her forces had just made it to Terrassen and all hell was breaking loose as the massive showdown transpired in the north.Ever since his most recent onslaught of the long lost Lycans, the Valg prince had been scouring and prowling for Lycaon Warrios once he had finally accepted that he wouldn't be getting it out off Neon's mind anytime soon.

Neon knew the Valg would go to hell and back looking for the Lycan Prince but it all be futile until they get that last grip on his being and the Lycan dreaded that moment deeply.
My name is Neon Riding and I will not be afraid.At some point, the Valg prince ran out of leads and hunches and just growled In mind breaking frustration, Neon almost emphasised with him, these past few months, hunting for the Lycan Prince had been fruitless and the Valg was seeping with fury at his own failures.

"Very well, I suppose I don't have time for this rutting scavenger hunt right now, after all we have a score to settle with that fire breathing bitch queen in Terrassen". He cackled and Neon was struck with horror, he was going to kill Aelin and raze Terrassen and he was going to use his body to do it, to extinguish a fire that had risen up against the darkness and Neon would be a part of it.He heard Maeve's snake-like voice in his head once again."Even you break Neon Riding".

A dance, that's what she had called it, a lethal dance with fatal consequences if she made the wrong move, a dance with the Valg king.She had no idea how she was still alive but she had no time to wonder as she was had to dedicate all her focus into the fight with Erawan. The dark king was exploiting every tiny region, Aelin had unwittingly left open but the queen was swift, she was deft but she knew it wouldn't hold for long, without her powers, her skills as a criminal assassin would only sustain her so much.She had to think of something fast.

They had already been close to Terrassen so all they needed was a few hours of flight in falcon form and soon enough, Neon was hovering above the madness that was the kingdom of Terrassen, or at least its outskirts.Aelin was currently locked in a solo battle against the bastard who put this rutting collar on him.What the hell was she thinking? It didn't take long for Erawan to scent out his most dangerous servant and once he spotted the falcon that was not a Falcon in the air he shot Aelin a sinister grin as he leapt backwards, dodging a strike.

"Well it seems I no longer have to contend with you, princess, we will see how you fare against the Lycan warrior".He suddenly took off towards the battle and before Aelin could chase after him, a familiar face which bore a collar on it's throat  stood before her but she knew all to well that this wasn't whom she had come to know in the weeks she spent with him."I will bet that you missed this one princess". The Valg prince spoke through Neon.

"How could I not miss that adorable face?" Was Aelin's swaggering reply."You know I have access to all the boy's skills right?" The Valg prince warned her."You know I'm going to behead you now right?" Aelin was apprehensive in fighting the Lycan male again but she wouldn't back down, not now.So she lunged towards Neon, trying to forget his young age but was immediately thrown back from his parry, the Valg was about to jump on Aelin but suddenly tripped back,"You will stop this at once you bastard" The demon growled.Aelin instantly knew what was going on, Neon was still in there...

"Neon, you are about the strongest fighter I have ever met, you will surmount this beast, please Neon, the world won't survive against them without you". Aelin pleaded and Neon fought with all his might to keep the Valg prince still.He didn't know where this was coming from, he couldn't protect his people from his own wrath but now he was actually making the dark monster struggle, as if he letting this world go to hell was past the line, way past the line but deep down Neon knew that there was something else here that he wouldn't let die, no someone else.

"It's just a parasite Neon, that's all it is, you can fight it".
"No Neon, it's a Valg prince and it's taking over you one way or another".Maeve was standing next to the two bearing her spider smile at Neon, like she always did."Even you break Neon Riding".
"YOU WILL BOW!" The Valg prince roasted as he dedicated everything last bit of his dark power into controlling Neon again and charging at Aelin who managed to barrel roll to the side, narrowly avoiding a plunge of Neon's sword that would have surely gutted her but when Aelin was standing up again, she was met with a fist to the face, sending her rolling across the mud.

Even though it was heavy, The punch felt like it had been pulled, she knew that it should have instantly knocked her out which meant that Neon was still fighting."Aelin" he groaned out in a voice that at least sounded remotely human, not the Valg but Neon."Incinerate me, do it now"
"SILENCE" the Valg tried to steer Neon at Aelin once again but just fell on his knees as if he had been yanked downwards.Of course, Aelin no longer had her fire powers so burning Neon to death was out of the question but even if Neon still fought against the demon, Yrene wouldn't be much help since subduing someone like Neon was way to dangerous, he could just break free and kill everyone and also Aelin couldn't take the chance of sparing him even though she pleaded him to fight back as if he had a chance to free himself, not when her kingdom and the world was at stake.

The good news was, Neon was willing to let Aelin kill him which meant he would continue fighting against the Valg as much as possible and if Aelin was lucky, Neon would open something up for her and Aelin would be able to strike him down.Even if killing the teenager would haunt her for the rest of her immortal life.The queen front flipped forward and slammed her leg down only to connect with mud as Neon was behind her in an instant.Aelin whirled around, slashing backwards  but again found herself on her back from Neon's deft counter strike and had no chance to roll away as the Valg-infested Lycan flawlessly mimicked Aelin's front flip kick from earlier but this time, managing to slam the queen's head into the earth.

"He has a knack for copying the moves of others" the Valg prince gloated in that demonic voice as he raised his sword, ready to strike down queen Aelin Ashryver Galathynius once and for all.

"STOP!"

An all to familiar voice had bellowed from behind him, Aelin's vision was far too covered in stars to even hope to see what the hell was going on but she had spent enough time with the female to recognise he cry.Neon turned around and saw Miranda charging towards him.She must have clawed through the Valg and away from all the Mayhem when she scented Neon in the sky.

"You have to kill me" Neon pleaded, he hoped Aelin would stab him in the back while the Valg wasn't looking but knew the demon was far to skilled on the battlefield to allow something like that to happen."Never" was all Miranda responded with."Miranda he is going to force me destroy the world, he will see to it that I am the one who takes away your freedom, I won't be responsible for such a thing".
"I won't" Miranda's beautiful blue eyes began to fill with tears."I'm going to stay right here until I am cut down or this world fades into oblivion" Miranda's voice was strong and Neon knew her vow was unbreakable.

"I'm going to save you".

"No", Neon whispered as his body had started walking towards the fae against his will.
"Don't stay, run-"
"Because I am going to kill you"
