Enjoy!
Your Name is Tavros Nitram and you kind of want to cry a little bit.
So many dead here. highbloods, lowbloods, midbloods. enough bloodshed that it all mixes together and colors ceased to matter.
And you cause it. they follow you and listen to your words and rally behind the excuse for a flag that Klubok made that you carry and destroy what highbloods build.
Is this how Karkat felt? responsible for all this death?
"Um, Hey. Sparten?"
"What?" He stands beside you, cleaning his knife.
"...am I bad person?"
"No. best fucker I've ever known really."
"okay." you take his word for it.
"Hey!" You look and see Klubok run toward you. He's so happy. of course he is. You won.
But it doesn't feel like winning. it feels like losing slightly less than the other side.
"maybe we should stop." you say.
"What?!"
"I said may-" You look up. "we have to go."
"You're making no sense kid." YOU stop listening to the men at your sides and take to the skies, flying, as fast as you can, not questioning why or how you know where to fly.
there's only one though on your mind.
Summoner: Find Pyralsprite
You are The Summoner. But only because your mind is not your own.
"I did it!" You glance at Vriska, noting how proud of herself she appears
"I'm not sure what you're referring to."
"The Summoner! He's coming, Equius." she says.
"I sincerely doubt that." You say to her. She huffs.
"No! He is! Trust me, within a week he'll be here! And He'll bring a dragon!"
"The only dragon in my lusus and if they hatch we're all fucked." Terezi has appeared int he doorway. You begin to accept that you won't be getting any worked done today and stand, looking at the pair.
"we're all fucked anyway, Redglare."
"That's not my name and you're not Mindfang." Terezi says to her and you can almost feel the glaring.
"...Fine! Don't believe we'll see how you feel once he comes and gets us!" Vriska whips about and storms off.
"Karkat spoke to the townspeople." Terezi tells you once Vriska is gone. "they were willing to help...but Karkat was right. there's no materials."
"My condolences." is all you say in return before she leaves as well
Your name is Terezi Pyrope and you don't want to be stuck here forever.
You sit down on the hill, looking out over the water. You miss your lusus. You miss your job, your home,
Your life.
But Vriska's crazy, Karkat's happy and there's no way off this island...you're trapped
And now you're crying. You try to stop but it just gets harder.
You need to escape. You need a way out. You need to get away. You need to get A grip. Your ancestor would nev-
-Your ancestor.
Are you going crazy too? are you just going to be like Vriska? Delusional and believing yourself to be Redglare like she thinks she's mindfang.
Oh god...
You stand up and try to decide what to do, wiping your blind, teary eyes again
Terezi: Look Up
You look up at the sky, frustrated and somehow hoping for a miracle
You get one. or at least it seems so as what you see is the silhouette of a...a troll...a troll with massive wings...
and massive horns.
"Oh...OH!" You shout and run inside. "Hey! Who's here?! Is Karkat here?! Where's Vriska?! Holy fuck-Shison!" You see the girl and grab her arm.
She looks up, blinking. "what?"
"There's a flying troll outside?"
"A what?" Karkat has appeared in the doorway, out of Nepeta's room. naturally.
You look to him and nod rapidly and he rushes outside. You follow as does Shison
The troll has landed and is looking about almost dazedly. It's Shison though who speaks the name that you all think
"Tavros?"
Your Name is Tavros Nitram and you're very, very confused.
You don't clearly remember what you were doing-looking for a dragon or something? You found an egg but something told you to leave that thing alone...and now you're here?
Is that Karkat and Terezi?
...is that ARADIA?
"Ummmm...Hey? I um, I'm a little um, confused...where are we? how'd a get here?" It occurs to you how tired you are. You sit down, looking at them.
"...Holy Fuck Vriska did it." Karkat said.
"What?" you're growing increasingly confused.
"Vriska's gone nuts, she said she was going to bring the summoner. looks like that's...you." Terezi says, nostrils flaring slightly, obviously getting a good whiff of you. "She said something about a dragon though...Pyralsprite?"
"Um yeah, uh i-i found an egg...it didn't want to hatch."
"was it on a scale?"
"yeah..."
"That's my lusus." Terezi Explains. "and that's a doomsday scale-she's keeping it balanced.
You've seen enough weird shit not to question this.
You look at the girl who looks so much like Aradia. She sees this and just smiles.
"I'm Shison Megido." She said.
Her descendant? Are all you really old enough to have descendants already?
Has it been that long?
"Oh, well, uh, I'm-"
"-Tavros Nitram. I know." Shison informs you. "I have Aradia's memories. mostly."
"But how c-" you begin only to be cut off
"You came!" You look up, frowning as you recognized the voice that cuts through everyone's attention.
"Hello. Vri-"
"Summoner!" She interrupts again. "You're here!" She comes close and you're pretty sure you're about to be hugged.
So being kissed is definitely a huge surprise.
She pulls back, smiling brightly. "I knew you'd come." She says in a tone you can only describe as loving...sweet.
"He came because you forced-" Karkat starts saying and again Vriska interrupts.
"I knew he'd come! and Now you can get us out of here."
"How?" You ask.
"On Pyralsprite! Of course!" you frown. You don't have Pyralsprite or any dragon...
"...Or birds." You look at Terezi who is suddenly grinning widely. You never knew her all too well, but you know that's probably not a good sign. "There are huge ones here! you could control them into carrying us!"
You think a moment before nodding. "I'd um, have to see s-some of the flapbeasts in question but it should be manageable."
"Will I be able to come too?" asks Shison. "...I want to get off this island."
"I don't." Karkat says. "I'm Happy right here."
"How can you say that?! Don't you care about anything you worked for?" Terezi demands of Karkat.
Karkat sighs. "Look. We can fight about this-again-later. For now I'm sure Tavros might want to sleep? he's been flying for fuck knows how long."
You readily agree and follow Karkat, Shison, a somehwat annoyed Terezi toward the nearby hive.
"B-Bu-BUT WAIT!" Vriska screeches. "Summo-Signl-Red-Summoner!" We need to go now! Tell them!"
Tavros: Be tired.
When you're tired you can get snippy. and given you're somewhat confused and annoyed at Vriska already it doesn't take much to set you off.
"Vriska. If you would please shut the fuck up that would be kinda nice." you say before heading inside.
Equius and Nepeta are as surprised to see you as you are to see them, but they readily give you a place to sleep. And you do. All problems, and schemes readily and gladly put aside until you're rested.
Your name is Vriska S-
You need to stop calling yourself that. Your name is Mindfang. Yes, Mindfang and you refuse to go inside just yet.
Why can't they all just cooperate? Play their roles like you've been trying to? You could control them btu that'd be no fun. and Mindfang wouldn't need to control them. so you won't
So why can't you get them to listen to you?
Why doesn't The Summoner Love you?
What if He doesn't kill you either?
What then?
Sorry for the lack of updates. I'm working a lot more now and school is killing me. I can't promise more frequent updates after summer starts though because I'll be working more then. But this fic will be finished, that I can promise.
