M6 Help With Tricky Magic Part 2/2

More TW

Portia

• Honestly she’s psyched that you want/need her help and she’s excited to be a part of this with you!!
• She gets really focused on trying to help you and is a huge optimist every time something goes wrong. She knows that even if you don’t show it that this is really important to you and that every time something small goes wrong, she’s basically the only thing keeping you together.
• After hitting so many twists and turns, she’s probably only gotten more optimistic while you’re slowly fading out of your confidence. She can tell that you’re barely holding on, but she’s doing her best to keep you energized and on spot. Eventually, when it all leads up to that moment when you’re about to be done, you’re both so excited. Your work will pay off, it’ll all have been worth it, nothing more to worry about.
• And then. Well. I guess the spell decided to give you something to worry about.
• When you go to preform the spell, the atmosphere changes. Drastically. And you’re both confused for a second until your energy is completely drained and she has to rush to you to make sure you’re okay. And then you look around and see… pain and Death. Everywhere.
• You didn’t even think you were capable of this damage, much less when the spell you were trying to preform brought the opposite…
• The plants and green life around you withered, turning to black and brown, some even breaking down on the spot. People are lying on the floor, crying out in pain but not truly physically affected. You can’t help but break down crying at this, before your sight even lands on Portia, her body crumpled at your feet, crying and pleading. You realize it must be mentally attacking them as not even one person seems to be bearing it.
• You do everything in your power to bring her back to consciousness, but the moment she’s awake and before she’s even feeling good enough to have coherent thoughts, she’s worried about you.
• She’s focused on you now, and won’t leave your side. Even though she doesn’t feel any side effect of what happened, you’re worried about her too. Does that mean she’ll let you take care of her? Absolutely not. She has Ilya by your side 24/7 until he starts complaining that physically, you’re perfectly fine. Mentally though, she’s really the only one that can help your nightmares of all those people crying out in pain, and Portia being tortured at your hand.

Muriel

• As anxious as Muriel was about this, you were able to convince him to help you, simply because he figured it’d be better to protect you ratchet than let you get hurt. Though he did mention several times that he had a bad feeling about this spell, and there’s no way it would work without more skill than he could help with.
• I mean, you’re powerful. But conjuring a spell that should take like 5 of you with just yourself and Muriel? Yeah, that wouldn’t add up in the end.
• You always had to be near him if you were gonna practice or even just research it, even if you didn’t want or need his help, he needed to keep an eye on you at all times. He did his best to look out for little details that you might’ve missed, but in all seriousness you seemed pretty thorough to him, for the most part. He helps you out by pointing little things out, and reminding you of things that might’ve slipped your mind.
• You’re the optimistic one in this situation. He supports you, but that doesn’t mean that he wants you to get yourself hurt, so really he tries not to say much. When he does, it’s always blunt and the outright truth of the moment or his opinion.
• When it comes to the time to preform the spell, he knows the perfect place to do it that it shouldn’t harm or destroy anything if something goes wrong, and after he helps you with whatever you ask, he sets at a distance so that he can watch to make sure you’re okay but so that he’s not in the way.
• Everything is going smoothly as you cast the spell, and you close your eyes, trying to just feel the magic coursing through you. Muriel is just on edge, fidgety but also tense and rigid. As he’s watching you, suddenly you disappear from thin air, some trace and smoke but nothing big. Muriel starts with a panic, calling out your name and looking around frantically.
• You feel the ground disappear from beneath your feet, and suddenly you feel yourself falling, but for some reason you can’t open your eyes or speak, much less scream. You hear Muriel shouting for you, but you can’t call out to him, and you suddenly break the surface of water beneath you, crashing into this deep, flowing river, too physically numb to swim yourself out of it.
• Muriel hears the crash, and immediately rushes over as fast as he can, which is admittedly fast for his size when you’re involved, and he scoops you out of the water. When he does, you’re finally out of your paralyzation, and a shock of pain goes through you at his touch. Muriel winces when he hears you cry out in pain, but he needs to get you out and safe for now.
• After you’re safe and closer to the palace and Asra’s shop (he couldn’t keep going because of your whimpers of pain) he just sits down and tends to you. No words are spoken, he just gives you water, makes you eat something small, and then sends Inanna to find Asra.
• When you’re okay physically, all that’s left for you is healing mentally, knowing that you might be stuck with those thoughts for a while. But for Asra and Muriel, they’re also trying to figure out what went wrong with the spell so that it never happens again
• Muriel is even more reluctant for you to try practicing again but he just checks with Asra to make sure the spell is safe beforehand and always keeps track of where you are (if you’re comfortable with that) so that he doesn’t lose you again.

Lucio

• It took some convincing to drag him into your work area of your life because he really didn’t want to deal with the manual labor, or mental for that matter, but once you did he started to see why you liked experimenting with it.
• He was skeptical of course at first, what could be more important than him?? What was taking up so much of your time???!! But then he started getting nosey, and had to butt in to see what it was. He saw why you liked experimenting and had to help you, because of course you needed him.
• He ended up just being like a curious little puppy and asking questions-
• Your spell was a complicated one, and taking care of him was like taking care of a toddler, so you of course were annoyed by the constant of him acting like he knew what he was doing even though he was making things worse, however much you might show it, and however endearing you found it.
• After all your Lucio’s hard work, the spell was finally prepared and practiced to where you knew that you could preform it perfectly without a hitch.
• Oh look at that
• A hitch.
• When you preform your spell, you were the only one that knew what went wrong, because no one else saw anything but the fact that it didn’t go all the way through.
• While you couldn’t see what exactly caused it to go wrong, you could see so much for devastation than anyone else. The flashbacks, and the hallucinations, Lucio only started getting concerned when you stopped responding, started sobbing, and couldn’t breathe. The world was in shambles, and only you could see it.
• Only you could see that it wasn’t Lucio trying to help you, but the Devil, that the scenery wasn’t greenery, but filled with ash and bone, blood and corpses.
• The visions lasted for a few hours, but that would be enough to traumatize anyone, even moreso someone who has personally dealt with the devil’s misdoings. Lucio couldn’t understand why you were shaken up, after that. After all, you couldn’t explain it to him, that would only make things worse.
• He cared, he really did, and he did his best to let you know that to his ability. He didn’t know how to help but he sat with you, filling the silence when you couldn’t speak, talking about himself to lighten the mood, though it was only a habit for him. But he cared. He cares. He made sure you were well tended to, even in the areas that he knew nothing about, and was just getting the servants to do, he made sure you were ok.
• He may not ever know what you went through, but he never wants to see you like that again, and he may be brash with topics like that on accident, but if you express certain things with him, Lucio tries his best to be cautionary.
