#im hyped to get this out now
Are we sharing our AU ideas from the Lost Treasure Collection? If so, here’s my DarkSparks AU
Natalie Paquette is an excavator with a love for the mysterious ancient ruins on the edge of Solace, a place Natalie has felt has been calling to her all her life since her father first took her there as a child.
Her and a team of experts are granted the funds to do an in-depth excavation of the ruins, this includes the chemical scientist Dr. Caustic, the tech expert Taejoon Park, medical aid Ajay Che, tracker and navigation expert Loba Andrade, researcher and wildlife expert Makoa Gibraltar, the wealthy, adventurous funder Octavio Silva, and the research assistant bot, Pathfinder.
Upon arrive, they meet the mysterious and shady Mirage, a man who seems to know the ruins like the back of his hand, who says he’s a tour guide. He warns that the ruins are haunted, but the team of scientists ignore his warnings.
As they progress their research, weird things happen. They see shadows and people who aren’t actually there, things are moved when no one is around, and odd sounds moan throughout the ruins walls. Natalie gets lost trying to follow the voices she hears, when she stumbles upon a secret cave, with a beautiful statue of a warrior woman inside. Her skin is fair marble and encrusted in gold, her eyes bleeding the shimmering metal like tears.
She is entranced by the statues beauty, feels an overwhelming longing for the woman. She can’t help herself as she places a chaste kiss to the lips of the statue, before remembering where she is. She and the team take the statue, which has been carefully kept in perfect condition somehow. They place the statue away in their make shift camp, and go to bed for the night.
Natalie is woken in the middle of the night by a startling scream. She runs out to find something incredible. The statue has come off It’s pedestal and is walking about with an angered look, she looks frantic, and grabs at Makoa, demanding to know where a ‘Revenant’ was. Natalie begs her not to hurt anyone, and the statue meets her eyes. The woman let’s go of the man immediately, looking shocked.
In a slow, soft voice, trembling and quiet, she whispers, “Natalis?”
There’s a lot more to this (That includes other characters like Bloodhound and Bangalore) but sort of a soulmates, ancient royalty, supernatural AU. I do have plans to write it but it’ll be awhile before I can get the first chapter out :)
