The thunder is really loud and nice and I couldn't help but write! :3
Please see the author note at the end of the chapter to see the translation, I'm afraid Latin and French aren't my strong points, but I did my best, so I hope you'll get the gist of what I was going for by reading the translation.
My profile page now contains an index for Mon Minou.
Prompt 6-Obession
He had planned to take them out one by one, but his desire for the epicenter of the Miraculous, the strongest of the eight the Yin and Yang, Good luck and Bad Luck, Ladybug and Chat Noir had become an insatiable thirst
He denied his obsession with the Miraculous. He had simply decided to pursue something and that was the end of it. He was dedicated. Desperate. He shook his head. He was not desperate. Occasionally he'd hear the faint whisper of the Pink Kwami that had approached him all those years ago. Stop this. Don't hurt my friends. She was what prevented him from going after the Miraculous himself. Sometimes the Kwami resisted and he was unable to control his own body as it tried to expel the evil that had been planted within his soul without success. He was still in control. For now.
It had been seven years since he first learned of the existence of the Miraculous and he'd succeeded in locating two in Paris and a third and fourth in Venice, Italy and Turtle Beach in Arabia. The fifth, sixth and seventh were more elusive, he had only been able to determine the existence of one in Australia and another in China. He had planned to take them out one by one, but his desire for the epicenter of the Miraculous, the strongest of the eight the Yin and Yang, Good Luck and Bad Luck, Ladybug and Chat Noir had become an insatiable thirst. He needed all eight to become truly powerful and those brats, those children were somehow able the thwart his plots every damn time.
It had become shameful really. He relied too much on the Mayor's daughter to elicit negative reactions in his next victims. He paid her handsomely, but it wasn't the money she was ultimately interested in. It was his son. He wasn't entirely sure how she had discovered his involvement in the Akuma attacks, but she had become aware sometime last year, and to her credit was astonishingly professional about the whole thing. 150 euros every fortnight and an invite to every Agreste event at which Adrien would appear. Her fixation on his son rivaled his own obsession with the Miraculous. She was a stupid, cruel girl who couldn't take no for an answer, a truly despicable child.
And what does that make you? The Kwami's voice chimed in his head. In response he ripped the torc off his neck and cast it aside, seizing the small creature in his hand as he did so.
She had been a vibrant pink when he first encountered her, but the years of corruption and forced transformations coupled with his ability to hold transformations for days at a time had made her weak and sickly. Her once bright complexion had faded to a lighter rose-colour while splashes of black, corrupted energy bled into her skin, leaving splotches of the tar-like substance in patches on her body. Gaberiel gripped the Kwami in his hand tightly and she cried out in pain but he paid her no mind as he threw her into a small birdcage.
"You will never defeat them! Love always triumphs!"
He turned at this, and he snorted derisively. "Never in history has Le Chat Noir had a happy ending. I simply have to wait for his death."
"He loves her!" The sprite called out, she gripped the newspaper on the floor of her cage, unable to stand.
"That will be his downfall. And once the little kitten is out of the way…" He laughed and the Kwami cowed against the back of the cage in fear. "I will have no problems taking Ladybug's Miraculous. It is destined." He clenched his fist triumphantly as he spoke.
"You're wrong!" Tears streamed down her cheeks. "Their destiny has been written in the stars for centuries! They are destined, they are fated to be one; you do not stand a chance! Gabriel, I'm begging you, stop before it's too late. They will destroy you!"
The tall man sneered at her. "You speak of destiny as if it were written in stone, but you know nothing. I will not let children stand in the way of my plans."
Her shrill voice followed him into the corridor; her words practiced and deliberate as though she had recited them a thousand times before and perhaps she had.
"Mortibus aegrotationum morientur non perdet. Ils ne vont pas mourir."
He kept walking as he heard the Latin flow from her mouth but he slowed when he heard the French translation that followed.
"Dum pugnant pro dilectione. Quand ils se battent pour l'amour."
He had heard this before, the foreign language he knew to be Latin haunted him in his sleep. She chanted it over and over during the Akuma attacks, high-pitched voice niggling in the back of his mind.
"Dum pugnant pro dilectione. Quand ils se battent pour l'amour."
Her voice, suddenly razor sharp, cut through him like a knife. How was it that this small weak creature was able to speak with such authority?
"Sciat omnis caro. Tout le monde saura."
He wanted to leave but he was frozen, he found his feet glued to the floor and the caged creature stared him down with unflinching black eyes. Was she cursing him?
"Sati sunt esse simul. Ils sont nés pour être ensemble."
Impossible. No-one would ever know. He'd kill the Bourgeois girl if he had to.
"Et malum. Et le mal."
A thrill of emotion he didn't recognise raced through him.
"Perdidit. Est détruite."
Fear.
Her lips curled into a vindictive grin as she spat the last words at him.
"Dum sibi obviant in paris. Quand ils se rencontrent à Paris. "
He fled the room and slammed the door behind him.
Very, very rough translation. It was difficult to have something translate perfectly into three very different lanugages (Latin makes me want to cry):
They will not die,
When they fight for love.
When they fight for love,
Everyone will know;
They were born for each other.
And evil
Is destroyed
When they meet in Paris.
