Her boots clicked against the stone path as she walked. The golden light of twilight was a beautiful sight as compared to the dreary world she called home for so long. She had been in this world for merely a month at this point. To this day she had only met a single person in this world. Currently she was on her way to see him not that she enjoyed his company or anything.
Her new associate work as a weapon craftsman here in town. His occupation was to make and repair weapons for those battles against the fluctuating threat of heartless. She was not ashamed to admit he was good at his profession. He could work magic with his forge she was was almost surprised by his skill. He wasn't the cunning of men but he didn't need to scheme he had a heart of gold.
That heart of gold was encased in a body of the strongest steel. The man was built like a mountain he rivaled Lexeaus in size. Hair of copper that that always seemed to be tied back by a dark green bandana with a dragon on it. His eyes were a pale green and almond shaped. He had tan skin and and his right arm was marked from wrist to shoulder with tribal markings. He always wore a white sleeveless shirt with gray pants and black boots and brown gloves. He wore a brown leather apron when he was crafting along with goggles.
About five minutes later later she was sliding onto a wooden stool. Her perch sat in the corner of his workshop out of his way. He had put it there after she had pestered him while working a little too much. The clang of his hammer stopped and he glanced over his shoulder grinning slightly. Turning he held what appeared to be the blade of a sword in a pair of tongs
"Well hell little lightning bug you're early." He said with a gentle smile
"Just wanted to beat the rain. I also didn't see the harm in gracing you with my presence early." She muttered
She had to force herself hold back a blush. She hated what he did to her she wasn't supposed to get weak in the knees like some schoolgirl. Damn it what happened to her she was the Savage Nymph she was better than this. But no she had to become whole and get those pesky emotions back. Now a mere syllable from this man makes her quiver inside. She wondered if killing him would make the emotions stop.
Although it isn't like she could complain wholeheartedly. He was good for those more uncivilized needs. Don't call her a savage it was just a week ago and the night had haunted dreams since. Why did she feel so empty without him around she felt hollow. It was as if she needed to be around him but that couldn't be it. She was Larxene she didn't need anyone.
No she wasn't not anymore she was Elrena again. And she needed at someone to care about her more than ever. She had to adapt to these feelings not ignore them as annoying as it would be at first. A part of wondered what was going through his mind when he looked at her. She didn't believe much since he hadn't looked her in the eye for a week. Could he have some sort of secret he was keeping from her?
Slowly he moved to box sitting behind him grabbing something. Taking a calming breath he strolled over to her hiding the object. Standing before her he got down on one knee he held out the object. It was a sheath with a pair of daggers forming an X their blades lightning bolt shaped. The blade itself was made of steel with an electric glow
"Is this for me?" She asked rising a brow
"I thought it a good idea to give you something before dropping a big surprise." He said
Slowly the back door opened behind him and red wine eyes looked in. Slowly he stepped back to the door and opened it wider. She froze at the sight before her king in surprise. In the door was a fair skinned little girl with copper and wine red eyes. She was dressed in a cute green dress her hair in pigtails. She couldn't have been much older than six years old.
"Azreil don't tell that's your daughter." She muttered staring at the child
"Yes but actually no look its complicated." He whispered scooping up the tiny girl
"Try me I can top anything you can dish out I swear." She promised stepping closer
With a sigh he reluctantly began his tale. He told her of a family from a distant world known as Corona. He mentioned their young daughter specifically he called her Luca. Luca had come to this world alone to find him. He was the only one she could trust now that her parents were gone. Those yellow eyed monsters had gotten them she claimed leaving her with just her uncle Azreil. Now as her guardian he was looking for help in her upbringing.
"Look I'm not asking you for a relationship just as a friend will you help me out?" He asked
"You know that's a horror idea right?" She asked her heart erratically beating
"Probably but hey what is life without risk?" He said smile
She hummed turning her attention to Luca. She was rather adorable and could probably use a lady's influence. But could she handle motherhood even as a surrogate for this child? Slowly Luca moved closer leaning over and lightly kissed her cheek. Shy the girl hid swiftly believing she would rage. She couldn't resist the smile that crept to her face.
"Fine I'll do it but let me get use to you before you start being cute." She mumbled
"Thanking you miss Elrena." Luca whispered leaning over to hug her
"Shit what did I just agree to?"
Author's Note:I wrote this at random so that's probably why it's so weird. I don't really know where the idea came from to be honest but it interested me. Larxenne/Elrena inspired the story in the first place so that's why she's the main character. I apologize if you don't like this and I'm sorry I wasted your time. If I get even reviews I'll consider continuing this.
