Witch!AU
A wretched sob escapes your throat as you collapse to the floor in pure shock and horror. Your body is trembling and shivering, and although you have an inkling as to the sudden hit, the lack of vibrancy and life in your pendant confirms your suspicions. I... really did lose someone. Your eyes close as you feel tears well up despite not knowing who it is exactly you've lost. But you know there can only be five options: Yuratchka, Viktor, Yuuri, and Otabek.
If I.. You hesitated, your hand clutching your pendant desperately as you slowly stand back up, If I just momentarily connect to the bonds again... I can probably feel it right away. You gently pressed the pendant against your heart, a small murmur of a spell escaping your lips as you feel the bonds that filled your pendant with life allow you entrance. Oh, but you regret it so. Even with just a mere graze of contact, you can already feel the faint tinges of concern and panic coming from both Yuuri and Viktor. There is the confidence, yet hesitation coming from the ever trustworthy Ela. But what hurt you the most came from the two friends you were closest to.
There was a tidal wave of emotions emanating from the blonde Hunter. Anguish. Frustration. Sorrow. Confusion. And guilt. They all flooded into you, almost claiming you as though they were truly your emotions. But it wasn't yours, it was his. Yet regardless of knowing that, you struggled to separate your emotions from his, after all, despite years of separation, the two of you were inseparable. The bond between you and Yuri has been withstanding the test of time, with several lineages connecting you to him and him to you. You grimaced as you let his emotions settle down and you let out a breath you had been holding in.
I almost forgot how strong our bond was.. enough to almost pull me into its wake. You shook your head, and felt the tears slowly trail down your cheek. You rubbed it away swiftly. So it was Beka...
Otabek's bond wasn't as rapid and fast paced as Yuri's. In fact, it resembled a pillar of support as you felt it come in as gentle waves of nostalgia. You recall the time during your childhood, he had always been the caretaker, the keeper of both you and Yuri. He had made sure you two didn't do anything stupid, or if anything, to make sure to join in with the two of you to ensure your safeties. It reminded you of the days when you were allowed to laugh freely and be happy, of times when the only concern on your mind was what was for dinner and whether or not you'll get an extended play time with them. There was no worries of the destiny and fate that was already prewritten for you and Yuri. There was no concerns about whether you would ever get to see each other again.
Your grip on your pendant turns loose as you cover your mouth to prevent yourself from sobbing. Tears streamed freely down your cheeks and in the end, you duck your head behind your hair as you let the emotions slowly ebb out of you. I could have prevented it... I could have been there... You shake your head firmly and softly mumbled, "I can do this. I've already figured out the secrets of the seal.. and I've covered my bases." I'll end this. I'll stop this madness.
You boldly place your hand on the runes, and you can feel the magic flow between your hand to them, like ripples of the tide gently and slowly joining to make a wave. Your eyes open, arctic blue matching arctic blue and you softly muttered, "To think that this magic was one and the same with his... It's such a shame."

"Yuri," your voice was soft as you gently called him. He looks up from his work and he flashes you a bright smile, "[F/N]!"
"Mama's making your favorite today, do you want to come over?" you asked, and Yuri's mouth drops in awe and he furiously nods his head, "Can I?!"
"Mhm!" your smile was dazzling, and Yuri swears he'd do anything to see it again, and it would be better if it was only for himself.
