Vermillion has everything a human wants: good looks, a voice as smooth as molasses, a hypnotizing singing voice, power, and immortality. Vermillion is a child of Norse mythology. She is the daughter of Fenris Wolf and Sirenous, an invulnerable wolf...
Naga was sure that everyone was screwed. She had heard about the other overblots from her sources (Read: Family) and she was certain this wouldn't end well. Kalim, Jade, Floyd, Azul, and Imun were all worn out from that fight and her parents were fighting against the mindless residents that kept getting back up. What could she do while keeping her cousin safe?
She watched as Imun was hurtled and let go of her cousin long enough to save him. She grabbed his body midair and directed it towards the ground. Imun shot her a thankful look as the others raced over. Naga went to grab her cousin, only to not find her where she had been left. Grim was perched on Naga's shoulder and gripped it tightly out of panic. Her eyes went to Jamil and there she was. Her cousin was still knocked out and she seemed peaceful. Naga didn't have time to ponder it as she was sent flying with the rest of the group.
Jamil watched them go and turned to Vermillion. He nuzzled her head. "You have nothing to worry about now love. They won't bother you anymore."
Vermillion stirred a bit before stilling.
-Meanwhile, with the group-
Crash landing was not Naga's idea of fun. After getting the rest up, she turned to help Kalim. Azul broke the contract with Floyd. Kalim was about to cry. "I really thought Jamil was my friend."
Naga knelt in front of Kalim and wiped the tears away. He stared at her as she gave him a sad smile. "He's nothing Kalim. He betrayed you. He took my cousin. You know, I never thought I'd have to save her since she was always the one who saved me."
Imun turned to her with confusion. "What do you mean?"
"I had some fake friends who tried to get me to do drugs. I was 13. Vermillion burned the drugs and then burned their houses."
"Wait, WHAT!?"
"Mhm. I also had two boyfriends. One cheated while the other was toxic. The one that cheated had his house blown up with him inside. The toxic one was poisoned. The one behind it all was Vermillion."
All of them were either impressed (Octanvielle trio and Grim) or scared (Kalim and Imun). Was Vermillion that scary when she was pissed? Dear gosh. Jade nodded. "Understandable. If someone betrayed me, I would use every word in my lexicon to mentally and physically break them and then I would tie them up at the bottom of the sea and leave them to drown."
Naga was now amused. Kalim seemed to ponder it. "Jamil is the enemy."
Naga nodded and Kalim suddenly looked determined. "Alright! I know what I have to do! I have to slap him in the face and call him a traitor!"
Naga shrugged. "Drown him. Easier and more permanent."
"NAGA RIVERS!!" Jormungand and Vanessa shouted at their daughter. "Just a thought." Naga said innocently. "I blame Vermillion for this." Vanessa said with a groan. "Well, you can shout at Pearl when we find a way to the dorm." Azul said. "How about we have Kalim get us there?" Naga chirped. "Oh yeah I can use my Oasis Maker to create us a river!" Kalim cheered. "What?! He can do that. His unique magic would be a godsend for places without safe drinking water. Something like that would probably print piles of money." Azul said. Naga blinked at the man. "Ignore Azul's tangent. Kalim, if you would be so kind." Jade said. 'Just wait a little longer Vermillion.' Naga thought.
-Back to Vermillion-
"Mmm. Where am-"
"I see you're finally awake Moonstone."
I looked to the face the voice belonged to and my heart thudded. Jamil had overblotted. The look suited him well. But, I had to get my head out of the gutter. I then noticed the odd clothes on me. (Have a Gacha edit since I can't draw)
Oops! This image does not follow our content guidelines. To continue publishing, please remove it or upload a different image.
These. Were not my clothes. I just stared at my outfit. Jamil chuckled, an odd sound. "Do you like the clothes? They fit you well Moonstone."
My face flushed and I crossed my arms. "They are.... lovely. It could do without some skin showing, but I like the shade of red."
"This is all for you Moonstone. I adore you."
Jamil leaned in and kissed my cheek as his snakes went to tangle themselves around my neck and shoulders as well. I felt shivers course down my spine. I then came up with a devious plan. If there was something about me that wouldn't change, it was my ancestry. I had to rely on my silver tongue and lying blood for the plan to work. I cupped his cheek with my hand. "Oh, Jamil. If only you knew..."
Jamil raised an eyebrow and I made my cheeks appear flushed as I looked away. "I could never say it out loud to you. How much I loved you. I am a godling and you are a mortal. I didn't know if you would feel the same......"
Jamil hummed as he took my chin and tilted it upward so that I could look at him. Jamil leaned in close to me. "I love you too Moonstone. You and I have been brought together by fate. Tell me what you love about me. Specify."
"Where do I start...?"
"Hmm?"
"You are extremely handsome and strong."
"Keep going."
"So intelligent and wise."
"And?"
"I'm spellbound with that hypnotic look in your eyes."
"I see. You are beautiful Moonstone. I never thought someone like you could love someone like me."
"Oh, amica mea (my love)...."
"Your Latin is gorgeous. I wish to hear more."
"Amica mea, te amo (I love you), sed (but)...."
"Yes?"
"Ego mentitus ad vos (I lied to you)."
"Hm?"
"Evenire (Come out). Omnia in ordinem (Everything is in order)."
A knife was then pressed to Jamil's throat. "Eh eh. Who said you could do such a thing to my niece. The clothes are lovely, but that isn't her style."
An arm pulled me out of Jamil's lap. I turned to see Kalim flashing me an apologetic grin. "Sorry we didn't get here sooner. Your words were very alluring though Desert Flower."
Ah, s**t. It's more mortal pet names. When will this end? Uncle Jormungand turned to me. "We'll protect you long enough for you to power your unique magic."
I nodded and focused. I inhaled and exhaled before starting. (Cue Fake by the Tech Thieves)
Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh
Please don't fake it~ Show me what you're all about. I got wasted~ Learning how to let it out. I can't take it~ Kiss me with the lips of doubt. Please don't fake it, fake it, fake~
The spear was formed again. All I needed to do was charge and stab. I managed to do it and I collapsed alongside Jamil, who was once again normal.
-Third Person POV-
Everyone was glad the two were alright, but Naga snapped her fingers to get a tank top and pants on her cousin. Naga hated that outfit, it would bring back bad memories of this time.
