Work Text:
- In a world mixed with Gods and humans alike.
- General Lilia Vanrouge is the God of Death and Destruction.
- You are the human.
- The story takes place during a time when humanity and the Gods were fighting demons called Blot
- General Lilia and a few other Gods didn’t see any purpose in protecting the humans.
- But the highest one of them all spoke about the protection of all creation and that was that.
- General Lilia still didn’t understand.
- What use were they? But canon fodder against the Blot before those greater in power struck the final blow?
- Well, that was until he met you.
- A lone human that healed others with gauze and ointments. Who battled with a sword at your side.
- Turned out you had no magic to aid you.
- Yet, here you were helping others.
- With death at your side.
- “Fool,” he insulted you.
- “Maybe,” you replied in return.
- You irked him.
- You healed others when you could.
- You fought when you needed.
- You held the hands of those dead and dying.
- You cried all alone.
- “Fool,” he whispered.
- You leaned on his shoulder, tears trailing down your cheeks.
- “Maybe,” you replied, with sadness in your eyes.
- If you were the fool, then what did that make him? The one here by your side?
- General Lilia knew he made a mistake when he became soft towards you.
- When he allowed you to force him to join you in meals.
- When he allowed you to force him to take breaks as you braided his hair.
- When he allowed you to sway him in a dance to a tune you hummed gently.
- When he allowed you to pull him to a kiss whenever you could.
- (You allowed him to ravage you away from the eyes and ears of others, only the sounds of pleasure emitting from you both could be heard, edging him on for more. Greedy for more.)
- He knew the rumors circulated about him becoming weak.
- The bloodied field of the next battle destroyed those rumors.
- He should have known a love with you would be short.
- It wasn't time that took you from him.
- But the hand of a foe.
- As he held your body, you had simply cupped his cheek with a bloodied hand and told him you loved him. You had stated you will see him soon.
- It was then he became death and destruction personified.
- Rumors has it, his human form was discarded for a much more horrifying one.
- Of limbs and shadows
- Of eyes that brought insanity
- The war ended not long after.
- Hundreds of years had passed.
- The Blot were eradicated.
- The story of Gods and humans fighting Blots became naught but a story told in history books.
- General Lilia Vanrouge retired from his position in this new era of peace.
- Let it be known though, not to mistake him as weak, for his shadows and aura speak of power still.
- It was when he least expected that he was reunited with you again.
- At Night Raven College
- A school for Gods and humans to mingle.
- That you showed up in his life again.
- A human chosen by the black carriage.
- The carriage that so many coveted, Gods and humans alike.
- The carriage that only a rare few have had the honor to ride in.
- It had chosen you.
- A human with no magic.
- As he met your eyes, your words came back from a time long passed.
- We meet again, Dearest.
- Lilia Vanrouge looked forward to this new life with you.
