Problems with a new world [Tag: Selky/Open]

[Nyx]

Time: Late Afternoon

Tag: Selkiris

It had been a while since Nyx had seen Selky and now that it was the Sun Harvest season as they called it some of her classes were short since many of her students went back home to visit family. Any students left at the moment are those who did not want to go home or just wanted to stay and get better at their skills by taking advantage of the teachers now that they didn’t have to share them with a full class. Still even with that she was bored most of the day Lucifina wasn’t home in the day so she didn’t have anyone to talk to, she was avoiding Aqua because she didn’t know how to handle the situation, she done her best to avoid most of the teaching staff not wanting to show any weakness around now. It was why she was currently sitting on the sand near a small secluded beach that was a bit of a walk through the forest from the Arch of Ages.



Sighing a bit, as she sat there her knees pulled up to her chest watching the waves. She didn’t know why but watching the waves always seem to calm her as of late with all her turmoil emotions with everything that has happened at the Arch since she brought Aqua there. She caused trouble for the Arch, Professor Melda, Arthas-san, Iris-chan and the man she considers her Otōsan all because she thought that helping the magically gifted fated that wanted help on learning about the world of Nova and helping them adjust to they magic.



A few silent tears started to roll down her cheeks as she rested her head on her knees, it seemed that the world was responding to her inner pain and sadness as the gray clouds in the sky started to cry out with her. She did not even notice as her clothes got soak, or how the waves seem to rise and falls as if it was beckoning her to join and take her away from everyone she caused trouble.

[Selkiris]

Selkiris liked to camp out in the forever forest sometimes. It kept him calm and collected. The forest a normally a very calm and quiet place where he could continue his studies without interruptions. Today was not such a day however. Selkiris had planned to continue his studies on the day to day behaviors of the shadow creatures. As he watched the creature suddenly ran off deeper into the woods. Selkiris was interested in what caught the creatures attention and followed behind it closely. The creature easily squeezed through any bramble it came across while Selkiris on the other hand stumbled constantly. They luckily made it shortly after the bramble and Selkiris was stunned with what he saw. He spoke softly, barely audible to Nyx. "N-Nyx? Why are you here........"

[Nyx]

Though the sounds of the rain, she heard a male’s voice, lifting her head the tears barely visible on her face because of the rain. “Selkiris?” Nyx’s voice was weak and full of pain. She did not even get to hear his question, as she looked away from him not wanting him to see her like this right now. She didn’t know what she looked like but she was sure she looked horrible and ugly with her crying face.



Resting her head back on her knees she wondered why he was here now when she was at her weakest. “It’s my fault…” The only words she spoke as the wind picked up spraying the salt water to them. Her body started to shiver from the cold not that she notice since the cold was nothing compared to the emotional pain that she was currently in that she inflicted upon herself.

[Selkiris]

Selkiris was surprised to see Nyx...but something was off. Her voice wasn't her normal happy go lucky voice, it was something much more painful. He could tell she was crying, and it almost brought him to tears. He held them back though, as he wasn't going to show weakness, not even in front of Nyx. Selkiris took a deep breath and took off his robes, placing them over Nyx to stop the rain from pouring down on her. "Nyx what is your fault? Im sure it isn't as bad as you are making it." Selkiris didn't know what could make her cry like this..but it couldn't be as bad as she made it. The rain poured on him, his clothes clinging onto his body. But he could live with that if it helped Nyx.

[Nyx]

Nyx felt when something warm was placed over her and she no longer felt the comfort of the rain on her skin. Her hands moved on they own pulling the robe around her body to keep her warm as instinct kicked ruling over the irrational part of her mind. Taking in the scent as her mind finally processed the question that was asked, “I brought her here.” Her voice broken as she thought back to what Adrain had said that day how that thing inside Aqua that wants to make people suffer.



Since that day she had done her best to avoid Aqua, she made sure she was out of the room when it was time for her to move out and into her assigned room. She made sure that she wasn’t in the same area as Aqua and would consult her cards to catch a glimpse of the future to know what areas she should avoid to not run into the girl. “It’s all my fault… if I had not met her, he wouldn’t be threatening her life. He wouldn’t be a danger to everyone.” Fresh hot tears roll down her cheeks as she reminded herself that things would have been different that day if she didn’t go to Bane and didn’t meet Aqua and Eterna.

[Selkiris]

Selkiris just got more confused the more this conversation continued. Who was the girl Nyx was talking about? He probably should have stopped there and just left but he felt like he was better than that. The emotions he had for Nyx were starting to push themselves outwards. But if this was for better or worse was yet to be seen. "Who Nyx? Who is this girl and who is threatening her? You should be worried about all of that. I'm certain you didn't have a hand in what ever is going on, who ever this guy is will most likely be dealt with by the guards. You don't need to worry about this kind of stuff."

The rain continued to pour down, his robes were luckily thick enough to deal with such force and keep Nyx warm but Selkiris would be freezing. He stood there, water running down his skin. He tried his best to avoid showing that he was cold as Nyx would likely try to give it back if she knew that.

[Nyx]

Standing up Nyx finally looked at Selkiris but in her current state of mind she wasn’t seeing him for him. All she saw was a man who looked close to someone that she cared about, without even thinking she wrapped her arms around him wanting to feel safe even if it was a lie. Her head came to rest on his shoulder as she cried more. “Guards…. Guard…” Breaking into a crying fit as she started to hiccup. “They… they can’t help…”



Moving her hands so that they now rested on his back as she pressed herself close to him for warmth and some of comfort. The world around her seem to come to a standstill as she waited for some type of reassurance, as her eyes no longer produced any tears. Lifting her head only slightly, her eyes were red that the blue was barely visible in them, “Thank… thank you.” The only words she said before she placed a soft kiss on his cheek before the reminding energy in body gave out, her head falling back onto his shoulder as her eyes closed. If Selkiris was to check he would find that she was simply asleep, her cheeks were flushed signaling that she might be suffering from a fever.

[Selkiris]

Selkiris could barely understand what Nyx was saying anymore. Her constant crying and her hiccups only cause more confusion. Selkiris wanted to help calm her down but he didn't know how. He sighed and returned her hug, holding onto her tight. He whispered to her "Shhhh" and "Its okay" constantly, trying to calm her down. Eventually she seemed to calm down herself. He tried his best to make no big deal of the kiss on his cheek but he was freaking out on the inside. He noticed how quiet Nyx had become and quickly realized she was sleeping. He smiled and swooped the tired Nyx off of her knees and would carry her back to his camp he had built before the rain had started. He laid her down inside his tent and just stared at her. He ran one hand through her wet hair, as he did that he felt her forehead. She definitely had a fever. Selkiris sighed and carefully tried to unwrap his cloak off of her....he then held his breath. He would likely have to do the same to her clothes. They were wet and they would only worsen the problem but he didn't want to look like a pervert. He took a deep breath and would try to remove her wet clothes off of her. After that he quickly threw a warm, dry blanket over her to cover her and keep her warm.

[Nyx]

Nyx had been dreaming of home when she was younger before she was taken away to the academy. It been a long time since she had this dream, she had gotten sick and her father had to come to her school to pick her up, since her mother couldn’t leave her baby sister alone. He carried her like a princess all the way to her bedroom, her eyes had open seeing a blurred version of her father as she reached up to him wanting him to make the sickness go away.



Sometime after Selky had undress her and covered her with the blanket, Nyx woke up but because of her fever she was a bit delusional. Looking at Selkiris, she finally spoke “Otōsan, make it go away.” Sitting up the blanket falling off of her, as she crawls towards him until she was in front of him. “I want a horsy ride… please. Horsy ride.” She said clapping her hands excitedly before throwing them already Selkiris holding him tight as she tried to crawl onto his back so that he can carry her on his back.

[Selkiris]

Selkiris had been busy trying to dry her clothes when she woke up. The tent luckily was fairly large so Selkiris could actually stand up and move around comfortably. He was wringing the clothes when he heard the shift of the blanket. Selkiris looke over his shoulder to make sure Nyx was okay and saw her sitting up looking at him. Selkiris freaked out for a second as the blanket slid off of her. He carefully set down the clothes and walked towards Nyx in an attempt to but the blanket back onto her. Nyx made it to him first though, crawling towards him and asking for a "Horsey ride". Selkiris thought she was merely hallucinating due to the fever and tried to put her back into bed. Nyx was much harder to catch than he thought, as she seemingly got behind him and actually latched onto his back. Selkiris lost balance and toppled over, letting Nyx have more than enough time to get onto him. "Nyx your delusional, please just go back to bed. Please."

[Nyx]

Nyx adjusted herself on Selkiris’s back, swinging her leg over so that she was straddling him. “Go Horsy! To Zeppy’s castle!” She said giggling as she lightly bounce on Selkiris, “Giddy up Horsy, Zeppy is waiting we have to save the kingdom.” Giggling more as she raised her hand as if she was holding a staff, as she did her best to urge her horse to move along so they can head towards Zeppy’s castle to protect it from the people who wanted to attack it.

[Selkiris]

Selkiris had no words for what was unfolding. She was kinda acting like an four year old for some reason. Selkiris sighed and tried to get up. He could on stand on all fours but barely. Nyx was heavier than she looked. Selkiris thought he might as well try to talk to Nyx and get some sense into her, but that wouldn't likely work. "Nyx could you please get off of me. This is very immature. I know your likely in some feverous trance but please snap out of it. I reaaaaly don't need this right now." Selkiris also made blind grabs at her to try and get her of full of him. This was getting too ridiculous.

[Nyx]

Nyx pouted, “But Otōsan Zeppy needs me.” Whining a bit as she folded her arms over her chest. It was then she felt a hand grab her pulling her off Selkiris’s back causing her to land on her back on the ground. “Fine… we wouldn’t help Zeppy.” She said pouting more as she looked away from Selkiris mad.



Turning to look at him with a smile on her face she tackled him attempting to try and pin him to the ground. Before she could do anything might be considered inappropriate given her age, her swayed a bit as the fever got worse causing her to fall on top of Selkiris. Her voice weak as she spoke, “Tell me the story of how you and mommy met Otōsan. I like that story.”

[Selkiris]

Selkiris really didn't know what this Oto-San thing meant but he was starting to feel like it was very naughty. Selkiris was surprised as Nyx suddenly went from pouty to happy. If the fever was the cause it was really messing with her mind. It appeared to only get worse as Nyx got weaker and weaker. Selkiris carefully cradled her and placed her back onto the makeshift bed, placing the blanket right back over her. Selkiris realized that he likely wouldn caring for her for a while so he decided to just play the part of this Oto-San character (Which much to his displeasure realized meant "Daddy" from clues she said.). "A story hm? Well I think I have a story you might like even better. Now this....is the story of two people. About a boy, who was lost. And a girl, who had nothing. The boy.......was a valiant follower to the gods. He would often make prayers to them and go to the temples to worship them with his family. But....for some reason the gods didn't enjoy the boy. They found him. Inadequate. They tossed him into the darkness, alone and abandoned. The boy, without the gods, slowly worked for the darkness. He had nothing else to do so he merely helped it against the gods. Then there was the girl. Now......this girl was very special, for she was an angel. She flew high above the clouds and helped the gods with all their duties, spreading peace and happiness. But....for one reason or another the girl was stuck down from her flight. She crashed into the ground, stuck to this mortal plane. No matter what she did she couldn't get back to the heavens. So she decided she would help those on this plane directly. One day she encountered the boy, who was spreading hate and malice and instantly hated him. From that day on they were always at each other's throats and constantly fought. But they also could stay apart. Both of them.....felt drawn to each other. They couldn't stop looking at each other and talking to each other. The boy and girl....both realized that somehow in the fighting and hate, they had found love. Both the boy and girl had feelings for each other but could never have the heart to express them. So they hid it in their fighting. They secrelty flirted with each other and secretly expressed their feelings while in the open they fought."

[Nyx]

Nyx curled up under the blanket her fingers tightly held the blanket as if it was a life line. Her eyes closed as listened to the story it was just as she remembered, a yawn escaped her lips. She did always wonder how it was possible that her father captured her mother’s heart and each time she heard the story it made her wonder if it was meant to be for her parents to be fighting each other and fall in love. Her mother was sweet, loving and always smiling compared to her father that only showed open affection when it was just the family. As the story came to a conclusion she was almost asleep, “Otōsan… I found my prince of darkness too. Just like how you found mommy. I hope you would like him” The last part as said softly as she rolled over falling into light sleep.
