(An actually tame post for Alex for once. -shock! gasp!- So it’s
pretty safe to read for a change. Just mentions of fighting and such.
Just him and myself trying to figure out his path forward from here. )
(Alex has been in my head all damn day at work today. So rather then
working on weekly reset… I am writing! Because someone insists this
needs to be written. Warnings ahead for blood, torture, violence, swear
words. The usual for Alex. Especially since this is his line of thoughts
during his torture. Read at your own risk. XD I’ve been listening to Remember by Adema during writing this.)
(Second part of the dark plotline for Alex. Warnings for Torture, Blood,
Violence, Swear words, and just in general very dark plot things. Read
at your own risk.)

(Dark plot soon for Alex and friends. This is just the little teaser I
started writing a while ago and put aside and forgot to finish. Usual warnings apply with Alex. Violence and swear words. Though mostly just his usual behavior right now. XD)
Lance wasn’t sure what he had expected by going back to Hyrstmill
last evening. A part of him had been feeling… Lonely. Lost even. Wanting
to remember life back before it had become so damned complicated.
To
remember the first person he had gotten close to after leaving
Ishgardian territory for the first time. A friendly smiling face that he
missed so much. Lady
Miu… A part of him longed to know how she was doing. How she fared in
the time since they had parted ways. Her heart not ready for a
relationship with him. She had let him down gently. Always a sweet woman
even on the day she broke his heart.
However his visit to
Hyrstmill ended up being… Odd to say the least. He was still trying to
process everything that happened last night. He
had run into Miu again. After so long apart. Except… Miu had apparently
had quite the story in the time they had not spoken. Miu was no longer a
woman. He was honestly shocked at first. Yet… She was still Miu even if
she now had a male body instead. All due to a misadventure.
Lance
ran a hand over his face before looking towards the great sword sitting
by his desk in his new apartment. Maybe what he needed was to try again
to learn. Move on to other training. He could feel the pulling allure
of that stone he had found down there. Had found it even after someone
had tried to hide it from him. Most likely Tara. He had been on a rather
self destructive streak when she had found him.
Still no
sign of Tara. Or even Alexois. Yet now he had Miu back. Even if she was
different now. It was still going to take him time to get used to. He
still found himself referring to her as a woman. Not to mention he
refused to tell her just how much he had missed her. Miu had more then
enough problems on her own plate. He refused to add to them. No way in
seven hells would he admit to Miu that he still had lingering feelings
despite their time apart. Despite the changes. Miu was still Miu inside.
His feelings would remain his own personal secret.
Lance
plopped down in one of the armchairs in his apartment with a heavy sigh.
He had options but right now all of them seemed… Dangerous. He was
trying to be good for Tara’s sake. But… His cousin was going off on a
wild adventure. His family… Well technically he was still disowned. Yet
he worried for his little brother who was now head of the family. He
felt almost unneeded. Lost. All he truly had was his work at Skyfire
watching over the young Lord Francel.
His eyes wandered
around the apartment. It was warm and inviting. Yet so very lonely. Even
Soren was too busy for him to catch and return the key to the other
man’s apartment. He owed the man for giving him a place to stay after
the whole fiasco with his family. Still wished to find out what had
happened that night in Ishgard. Destiney had only given him vague
answers.
Finally he stood and walked over to his desk. Hand
wrapping around the hilt of that sword. The other hand swiping the stone
from the desktop. Sitting idle wasn’t doing him any good. He needed to
work. Needed to move. Anything but sitting there feeling sorry for
himself. Remembering…
((Consider this your warning if you read this post. Will contain
blood and some pretty dark stuff. A bit of torture and abuse. Alex is
not meant to be a nice guy. So please read at your own
risk. This is what took place between him leaving Aeri’s apartment
Sunday afternoon and when he met her for drinks last night. Just from
the screenshots I show doesn’t do justice just how cruel he can be as a
bad character. I felt it time to give writing the darker side of him a
shot.))
