Valian and Blue's Ask Book

Chapter 1: Questioning and So Much Confusion

A short, skeletal behemoth sits reclined on a green, moth-eaten couch. He gives a small hum as he idles himself in a book, subconsciously stroking his snout and rounded horns. As the behemoth sits in the calm silence, there is a moment before his train of thought is broken.

A low, deep voice echoes in the behemoth's skull, seemingly deep in thought themselves, 'Hmmm. How curious...'

"Something wrong, Valian?" The behemoth cocks his head as he voices his question aloud. The behemoth's voice squeaks compared to the deep methodical sound of the other.

The other voice, Valian, gives a small laugh, 'Oh, no no no, Blueberry! By no means! Rather, it appears that the Creators want to ask us questions.'

Blue blinks. Then blinks again, "T-the wh-? Wait, really? But-" The Creators? Like, the Gods that made them? Wanted to ask him and Valian...questions?! Wait- Valian could communicate with their Gods? Well- Valian is a deity himself, but not on the same level and-

'Oh goodness me! Slow down your thoughts for a moment, young Berry! I have in fact told you this. I quite frankly used to get in quarrels with a few, after all.' Valian interjects. He gives another laugh as Blue attempts to regain his thoughts.

Valian gives a sigh, 'And, as it seems there may in fact be as many Creators as there are AUs, I am sure there are many who have not heard of us. This questioning is not unique, after all.'

Blue places his book down, marking the page. There was no way he'd be able to focus on that now. Blue shakes his head, "Oh. Well...I don't think I can hear them, Val-"

'Already covered. I shall voice their questions. Now. Let us find something a little more...comfortable...'

As Valian finishes his sentence, a burst of magic escapes from Blue's soul. Shielding his eyes from the light, he gives a cough as his eyes attempt to readjust again. Confused, Blue gives a quick look around.

And his starry eyelights lock with deep navy blue sockets and true blue pentagram-shaped eyelights. Before Blue, reclining upon the couch with the smugness of royalty, was a slightly taller behemoth, who looked quite similar to Blue. But, the deep blue armor was more extravagant than his own, and his horns curl up into points, instead of round off on the edges. His tail was longer, and flicked slightly in amusement.

Before Blue, sat Valian.

Valian was sitting before him- in the same room as Blue himself? How? He thought Valian was stuck in his own mind? Did he lie? Was this an accidental discovery? As Blue stammers, he can't help but voice his confusion, "Wh-what? H-how?"

Valian gives a laugh as his smaller counterpart gawks in confusion, "Oh, this is far from permanent. Yet an illusion, my young Blue."

"I- O-oh..."

Valian hums, relaxing into the couch, "Now. Shall we introduce ourselves?"

"H-hi! I'm B-Blueberry Devereaux. I um...don't really know much about you guys- except that you're, well, our creators...But- maybe I can learn? And maybe you can all learn a little bit about me!" Blue rubs the back of his neck awkwardly. Talking to nothing was a little awkward, in his opinion, but Valian seemed encouraging, so...Hopefully this might be fun...

"Hmm. Very cute." Valian purrs as he gives a side glance toward Blue. Soon, his eyes return to the blank space before them, as if staring into a camera, "I'm Valian Russo, for those unfamiliar. An...alternate version of your favorite little puff ball here. I am quite curious what sort of questions you may have of me, and my companion here. So. Shall we begin?" He gives an encouraging smile, as Blue shifts a little awkwardly.
