Chapter Text
Blue was the sky outside of the Compass Library, as Ayda would read lonely. Red was the skirt Fig would wear in her freshman year as she sat with Bad Kids in Basrar’s solving the mystery of the Seven Maiden’s disappearances.
It only took time before those two girls would meet. They were tied together by a string of fate, invisible to the naked eye.
Ayda remembers getting gifted a radio by Garty and hearing “Burn Towns Get Money” for the first time. She did not know who the singer was, who she would become to her.
She heard Garty tell her about an adventuring party coming through Leviathan, seeing all her favorite spots. As a tiefling, would enter her library, as fiery as Ayda’s wings.
A woman, so chaotic and beautiful. Her source of joy in life, her paramour. She can remember being shown around Elmville hand in hand with her.
It is just so pretty to think since the beginning of time, they were meant to be. These clues were overlooked, even by Ayda as observant as she is. A hellish journey to get there, even traversing the plane itself. An invisible string tying them together.
They have completed a year of wondrous time, knowing about this persistent eternal love. Ayda could not be happier, the string of gold crossing the skies tying her to Fig forever.

It was not too long ago that Fig can recall her parents getting into screaming matches over Fig’s true parentage. As she watched Gilear cry and sit outside cursing the ground. When she was disowned.
She watched her mother close herself off, never giving Fig information about Gorthalax or Fig’s parentage.
It took the two of them a while to heal and find love again. In that time, Fig never looked for love let alone sang about it. She got her kisses and moved on.
It all changed when she met a half-phoenix. Brilliant and loving, awkward and endearing. Her muse and succubus.
In the deepest and most insecure parts of herself, she fears that this love won’t last. She would shut herself off and hide behind disguise. Looking at Ayda those fears disappear. As Ayda shows the signs of her love.
Fig can be a rational person but Ayda makes her feel true love fearlessly. She is the exception in her brain, this love goes against anything she has seen. She is well on her way to believing the truth of love after a year together.
