So um, long time no post. I got busy with college application things…and work. But here I am back with another chapter!! I ventured off the ACOMF story line a bit, but I hope y’all like it anyway!
Summary: This story follows the path of someone who turns pity into malice and revenge into a lifestyle. Someone who doesn’t believe in love’s power and strays from what little good she has in her heart.
Myriad is a fae with the rare ability to leech magic from other face, leaving them husks of their former selves. Myriad worked for and was Amarantha’s secret pet, spy and lover. After the Queen’s death, Myriad leaves to live in solace. On her journey, she’s captured by Hybern and set with a task to complete. Penetrate the workings of the Nightcourt and report to the King. During this time she falls in with the Inner Circle by a chance meeting with a male from her past. She must then gain their trust, in turn, discovering things about herself in the process, fighting the unbreakable command the King of Hybern gave her.
(This follows the ending of A Court of Thorns and Roses thru to the end of the series. Slow burn Azriel/Myriad) (Roughly inspired by Disney’s Maleficent.) (Banner by Charlie Bowater)
The sentries paid no heed to the little red fox that picked its way through the autumn leaves and brush. It flicked it’s tail, giving them a look with it’s yellow eyes before it leapt over a rock and passed into the entrance to the lower levels of the Autumn court, an entrance the guards were guarding.
The fox trotted silently down, towards the glowing, warm light that shone at the end of the long hallway. It was cool and crisp underground, ventilated by a system that allowed the outside air to filter into the underground city.
The animal stopped right outside the entrance, sat down, and began to stretch almost grotesquely. It’s shape twisted and rippled, it’s red fur began to disperse and gather on its head. The limbs lengthened and the body grew until instead of a fox sitting on the ground, it was a female fae. She shook her head, her curls falling about her shoulders before she drew her hair back and pulled it into a tie. She blinked her russet colored eyes, the same color as the fox’s eyes and smiled.
The Autumn court was easy to penetrate if one knew the ways to get in.
thevixensworld: The “American” Verse you didn’t ask for… I’ve been protesting since the seventh grade Cause financial aid ain’t ever paid They build prisons just to set us straight But ain’t got the funds to come educate It was a godsend way back then I learn social studies from a black man Who was proud to tell me my history Was more than what this country done did to me So fuck slave ships and assassinations We invented shit let’s get black to greatness This woke shit be exasperating And y’all shrug it off like I’m exaggerating Fuck you expect from all this neglect When the day you’re born you treated as a threat and taught to live with the disrespect like getting first place and treated second-best they move the finish line and say we overstep and y’all still don’t get it yet they poke at us call it a threat Bitch go have your cigarette.
legend says warrior princess vixen freed the slaves of their masters in ellios, and lead their rebellion to victory, claiming the city as the city of the free and ruling them in fairness and prosperity.
