"Don't trust him, he's evil and he tries to get to your mind..." asra gripped you shoulders tightly, his eyes are dark and serious. "He's not trustworthy..." asra's voice began to echo and swirl. His figure began to wobble and became transparent then disappear into the darkness.

You twist and turn in bed, until you finally shot up and looked around quickly. You felt your head and realised you were sweating, “What a weird dream….” you mumbled and looked around for any sign of lucio. Lo and behold he was floating around near the bookshelf and reading through the books. “Why do people read so much..” he clicked his tongue thoughtfully and flipped through the book. “Well..that’s like me asking why do you enjoy fighting so much.” you stated and crawled out of bed and walked towards his transparent figure. “Guess that’s true..I never really thought reading will be fun exactly..So i never saw a point.” he frowned and slipped the book back into the shelf somewhat carelessly. “I never thought fighting was fun...very...athletic..” you shivered and straightened the books in the shelf. “Maybe I cann teach you some time!” he smiled and turned around. “Well..I can’t touch you...so I don’t really see a point..” you shrugged and turned around to face him. “Oh..yeah…” he looked down at the floor thoughtfully and furrowed his brows. “You’re right…” whatever he was thinking about, it seemed to take away all reality for him. “Lucio? LUCIO!” you snapped and waved your hand in front of his face. “Oh! Right! Yes! Sorry...i was..thinking.” he chuckled and shook his head. “Nothing to worry about! So i’m going to head back to the palace...and leave you to your day.” he mumbled and walked towards the door and opened it. “See you later?” you asked, your back facing him. Lucio turned back to you and frowned, then he smiled, “Sure.” he closed the door behind him.
“What am i thinking...asra warned me of his presence!” you ran your fingers through your hair and turned on the sink in the kitchen. “But...he’s not all that bad…” you frowned, feeling absolutely conflicted with yourself. You narrowed your eyes at the water as it began to pool up in the sink, staring at your reflection. You jumped in place once you heard swift knocks on the door and quickly turned off the water. “C-come in!” you sighed, you felt your heart hammering against your chest. You turned around to face who it was and gulped when you saw asra, and he didn’t look to happy. “What did he do to you that night, did he hurt you? Trick you!” he walked over and examined your face. “No! He was harmless! If he would have done anything to me...i would have told you…” you looked at him dead in the eyes and cleared your throat. “Right...I’m sorry, i’m just worried about you! I love you and lamora dearly and just....I don’t want to lose you guys.” he mumbled honestly and sat down on the chair. You noticed how stressed he looked, and simply smiled. “Well...do you want to practice some magic asra?” you suggested and rested your hands on his shoulder. “Orrr maybe you want to have a picnic with muriel, lamora, and julian and the others?” you added. You saw his face lighten up at th thought and only giggled. “Picnic it is...could you tell everyone about it while I get food ready?” you smiled. “Of course! Should we go to the meadow?” he asked and walked towards the door. “Yes! Bring everyone over here...I might need help carrying everything..” you chuckled and walked to the fire place to get everything settled.
After a while of resisting to eat the food you made, and pleased by the nice savory and sweet smells filling the room, the guests filled in. “It smells delicious! I thought you were gonna burn the house down when asra told me you were cooking.” julian teased and rested his arm on lamoraas head. “Oh shut up julian, I bet you couldn’t make anything better.” you giggled and set all of the things in a large basket and handed everyone one thing to carry. “Muriel...You can carry the blankets…” you smiled and handed the quiet man the bundle. “Thank you for inviting me..” he mumbled and glanced away shyly. “You’re welcome muriel! We couldn’t have one without you…” you smiled and pat his forearm. You saw a small smile form on his lips before you walked away to lead everyone to the area you wanted to eat. Asra frowned to see you lead everyone out into the large golden meadow, nothing but endless soft gold. “It’s beautiful…” portia smiled, admired by the view. “I thought you guys would like it...it’s very quiet and smells nice to!” you commented and lead them all towards a hill the thrusted up from the endless sea of yellow. “And we have some shade to…” julian commented and set down under the tree and stretched his arms up towards the sky. Once muriel flung the blanket on the ground, you began to hand out plates and pieces of delicious smelling food. “Wow this is amazing!” asra smiled and bit into the small sandwiches you made. “Indeed, it’s quite different than the food I get…” nadia nodded and sipped some tea. You grinned at their complements, proud as everyone chattered and laughed. “I’m going to get more spring water for the tea...i’ll be back!” you stood up to your feet and grabbed the teapot. “Be careful..” asra commented and shot you a worried glare. “I will! You know me…” you waved your hand and quickly ran down the hill.
You held the pot close to your chest as you walked through the quite forest and knelt down near a rock where clear cold water was pouring out. You took the lid off of the kettle and tipped it towards the water. The sound of water hitting against metal and clacking around filled up the silence, which was a little comforting. But it masked the noise of footsteps coming up from behind you, then all of the sudden hand grabbed ahold of your shoulders firmly. “Ah!” you yelped and almost dropped the kettle, twirling around. “HAHA! Got ya..” lucio smiled proudly and lifted his chin up. “Lucio! What the hell!” you breathed and shook your head. “Aww...i’m sorry..” he smiled slyly and rolled his eyes. “No you aren’t…” you tipped the opening of the kettle back into the water. “You’re right...so, you are having a picnic?” he frowned and tilted his head. “Yeah...What about it?” you smiled and stood up to your feet while twirling around to face him. “W-well..Uhm…” he cleared his throat. You giggled, “I see what’s going on here...you want to spend some time with me!” you held your pointer finger up. “Wh-what?! No! I don’t need you at all! I was just...it’s dangerous out here.” he crossed his arms over his chest defiantly. “So you’re protecting me? That’s sweet of you!” you chuckled and walked through him, shivering. “It is! S you should be thankful!” he quickly followed you through the woods, hot on your tail. “Look, lucio, I’ll hang out with you later...but I have other people to see you know!” you laughed and continued through the woods.

Lucio watched you walked away with a sad look, his shoulder slumped and his chin dropped. “See? They prefer to be with the living..” a clawed hand curled over the round of his shoulder. “Do you want to make that deal now?” the characters lip curled mischievously, eyes glittering. “I...well…” lucio whispered to himself, thinking about this. “Look lucio!” the goat like figure snarled as they were engulfed in black smoke with small sparks of lightning. They were now standing at the edge of the forest, watching (Y/N) and their friends laughing and having a good time. Asra’s hand was resting on yours. “(Y/N) is slowly slipping away from you….” the devil whispered into his ear. Lucio felt his heart sink and he slowly looked at you and then back at the tall goat like figure “So do we have a deal?” the devil chuckled, he hot the sore spot. “...Yes…” lucio frowned, the whites of his eyes slowly bleeding into a bright red.

“Good decision….”

SO, I guess this is an AU I kind of miraculously made up? I don't know if it's even an AU but it's interesting on my watch. Hope you are enjoying reading this as much as I enjoy writing it!
