Letters and meetings
In the training grounds Isha was going at a dummy fiercely. Throwing punches at the hay and piercing It with her dagger, following her mama's shouting, encouraging her and also giving her tips, Alina was just looking at them, not saying anything.
They were attempting some kind of dual move but It wasn't working too much cause Isha had almost fallen flat on the floor after jumping off the blunette back.
Alina has to suppress a laugh when Isha immediately turns her head around to scold her with a look. Like daring the blonde to even say something.
“That was an amazing move Ish, just some more landing next time”
Isha approaches her then, scoffing but smiling.
[Not so easy]
“I know. It doesn't look easy from here either”
[That's cause you have two left feet]
“I do not”
[Last week when we were hunting]
“I…my glasses got dirty, I couldn't see”
[After that skunk fire sure you couldn't]
“Stop It”
Isha makes a psseh sound turning around and showing Alina her butt. The blonde rolls her eyes and sweeps the little girl's foot. Isha laughs at her annoyed face and takes her hand after almost tripping. But the same girl that had done the sweeping just holds her hand tightly to ensure that the fall doesn't happen.
[Blondes must born klutz]
“Oh, why? Cause of Lux?”
But the brunette doesn't need to answer her when a thump is heard across the field.
An armored creature laying on her belly on the floor grunting, just tripped with her own tail. A huge looking buck at her side.
“Sunrock, what the hell? When you said you were going hunting I expected a rabbit or some shit. Not the fucking prince of the forest”
“Well…you guys deserve royalty feasts, so…”
“Oh My god, you fucking dumbass. Let me help you Up”
Jinx had run Up to her in a flash of purple, grabbing the big girl by the arm and letting It on her shoulders. The gargoyle leans in just a little to host herself up, and she shakes some dirt off. Some of the chest plate Jinx had work out being a little bent.
“Again?”
“I didn't expect him to charge at me”
“He's a deer, what did you expect from him? Candy?”
Isha rolls her eyes at their back and forth. Jinx is just messing with Lux, cause they're both smiling like dorks. Isha hates them and loves them at the same time. When they maneuver the buck into the house Alina starts looking at the dummy's put up.
A yank in her hand.
[Want to give It a shot?]
“The back move?”
“Mhm!”
“We are both gonna fall”
[We sure are, with that attitude]
The blonde child laughs a little and nods at her companion. She gets on her knees, folds into herself and waits.
Isha lets a breath out, gets herself ready and sprints. Doing a jump and maybe pushing too much her feet into Alinas back, which causes the girl to bend her back with a grunt and Isha's attack goes wide and she ends up on the floor.
“Ouch, told you”
Alina carefully helps the brunette back up, making sure she's okay.
[I'm fine Ali]
“Good, we need to put some work on it”
“Mhm”
“Well It was looking way better than It did with me being the trampoline. All your insides okay?”
“We are fine Jinx”
“Good cause we are gonna need all the bodies we can get to eat this thing. I really need to work on some kind of fridge”
Lux comes out from behind her nuzzling her head into Jinx's cheek.
“I'm sorry princess, I will tune It down next time. It was just..”
“Yeah yeah your instincts are going highwire. I know big girl, don't worry I like you just like that”
Jinx tilts her head and their lips meet in a lingering kiss. When they separate they tell the kids to go have dinner.
The buck is a strong meat, and with the potatoes and carrots they have put on the pot It made a really good stew. The kitchen had been made really good. A table, cabinets, a series of pots to hang on the fireplace. What Jinx was trying to contrap was a fridge. But no luck had been stuck to her ideas yet.
Alina, like always since she arrived, was looking at the crest on the carpet.
Jinx had said It was a picture of a Wegoose. Isha had translated to her what a “Wegoose” was. But she swears she had seen that symbol before. In the capital, on blue and gold flags, going around pristine walls and flower yards. No longer taken care of.
“Everything okey little spark? Is the stew not of your liking?”
“If it's not, don't worry you can have the berries from the night before.”
Jinx was grinding at her; she knew that Alina had grown a distaste for berries since her times alone in the woods. Isha had thrown some into her hair to annoy her. They're all painted by berry juice. So just hearing the suggestion makes her pull a face scrunching her nose up, taking the glasses with it.
“Eat up then, this stuff is good for ya’. You have to recover your strength for not eating well while you were on the run, goldie. The little bunny is already in her seconds”
Isha holds up a third finger.
“What? When?”
“Yes I purred her the third one my jewel”
“I swear you don't have a bottom kiddo”
Jinx ruffles Isha's hair, and Alina smiles, trying to go back to eating. Lux puts a wing around her frame. Their magic colliding with the other. Lux had been so scared of touching her the first days she had been with them. After that hug she had been tenth feet away from Alina. She even “slept” outside the tower. A night she couldn't sleep, thinking that she really wasn't wanted here. She heard Jinx and Lux talking.
“Okey Sunrock. What's up with you?”
“Pardon? Have I done something wrong, my jewel?”
“Well no entirely but. You have been away from goldie like she had the plague. And after all that ‘don't hide your Magic’ thingy It didn't sit right to me”
She hears the gargoyle moving and some scratching.
“I'm just scared”
“Of?”
“Hurting her, I'm made out of petrice Jinx. The one thing that snuffs out magic and makes mages suffer. If she would be around me her little spark would die…and i don't want that. She deserves to shine my lady”
“Oh Luxie….”
“So i'm staying away, for her sake “
“But you have Magic yourself don't you?”
“I do”
“You filter out your Magic and you have learned how to give back what you might steal. Haven't you?”
“Yes with the magic that lays in the nature, never on humans before”
“Lux…i get you are worried of hurting but…that kid needs you. Need us. I'm afraid too, I'm a Jinx you know?”
“Darling”
“But you guys show me that Jinx can be strangely so much more than a bad omen. Here It means so much more. And yes, I'm scared, but taking care of someone is learning how to fight the fear “
“When did you get so wise my Jinx?”
“Life made me wise big girl, pretty much more than a Fortune cookie”
“Even though I have never met them im sure of It”
“You really have a silvertongue”
“Thank you. And Jinx?”
“Mhm?”
“You are my lucky charm”
“Je…never pray on me on a bet though you're gonna get robbed”
“You are right, you stole my heart after all”
“Omygod nooooo”
“It was a great one”
“No It wasn't, you corny ass knight”
And Alina had decided to tunned them out and close the trapdoor again when she heard kissing sounds. She got into the bed with Isha again and cuddled up close to her and the plushie lion. They did want her here. They were even worried about her well-being.
After that night Lux and Alina had been closer. Lux had found a way to make her petrice structure mage safe. Her properties are turned down by making a bridge to Alinas own magic flow. Their souls were connected in a way now. Making her an exception to the hurtful properties of the gargoyle.
So things like her wing being around her now was a reality. Along with her connection.
“Your Magic feels troubled little spark. It is not the food right?”
Jinx and Isha stopped their antics and looked at them, both of them showing concern in their faces. Isha comes closer and sits in between Alinas legs taking her hand and nuzzling into her chest. While Jinx hugs her shoulders under the wing.
“I'm okay guys, is just…I swear I have seen the Wegoose symbol before”
Marble blue and pink met and Alina could feel a swirl of confused emotions that were not hers going around the bond, but recoiling on the bridge when they were gonna meet. Probably to not freak her out. But It was too late. Why had Lux freak out? Why did Jinx hold on her shoulders had gone tighter?
Alina hugs Isha tighter, the brunette does the same with her hand. She feels the tension on her dada´s firework, and looking up at her mama's face it is clear she is searching answers in the air. As well as trying to calm Lux, Lux does the same with her. After a while like that they have their foreheads together and then take a deep breath. Their hug around the children is more protective. Lux's wings come around all of them now, and her tail curls around Alinas and Isha's right legs. Jinx hugs both by the chest resting her head on blonde locks.
“From the capital?”
“Yeah…Is there something wrong?”
“No kiddo is just…Luxie does not remember some stuff. She remembers having a brother and if you said you have seen that crest before maybe…”
“Does that imply that is her brothers?”
“Well It would make sense, after all Luxie was found here”
“Do you remember what it represented?”
“Mmmm it looks like a sword inserted on a crown…That was the Crownguard symbol”
“What do you mean by 'was goldie?”
“It happened when I was little but um…it was well spread. The young lady of the noble house was found out to be a mage and she was captured by the mageseekers. They tried to train her in their ways but she refused to do so, and she ended up dying from a petrice overdose she did on herself…not wanting to serve the kingdom. The family kinda fell after that…the king didn't want them at their side, they were the personal bodyguards of the King, but the prince, well now king was friends with the boy of the house, and he pleaded to his father to let them redeem the bad blood on their chainline. So they stayed, but they were never addressed again as nobility, their state was lost too.”
There is a long silence around them, Jinx looks at her mate worried, the gargoyle has her jaw clenched together and her eyes are moving around. She is seeing ghosts isn't she? Her skin starts to glow a pure gold so do their eyes. And Jinx holds her face with both of her hands making the creature look at her.
“Blondie, ey, whatever you are seeing is not there, you know it, it once was but not anymore. You are safe with us. Take deep breaths and take a look into my soul. On Isha´s, on Alina´s.
We are here.”
Lux does just that, the cracking, the sound of swords, burning, choking, laughter, goes numb. Purple pink trails exploding in blues, blues and greens with honey, and pure yellow mixed with teal water all making a pure white of rainbows. She loved rainbows.
She loved her rainbows.
The children have turned around on their seats to hug them back.
“Alina…do you know the boy's name?”
“General Garen”
“Garen…is him”
[........]
Lux was perched in her pillar that night when they had put the children to sleep, looking at the stars, looking for answers. For hearing some kind of calling, to tell her that it wasn't real. If what Alina was saying was real…she was implying that she had been human before. That couldn't be possible…could it? She does remember the boy in her dream more clearly, strong jaw, brown hair, pale skin, toned frame for fighting his whole life. But he was so young when she last saw him, and didn't sport any monster traces like her.
Could he really be her sibling?
Well she certainly remembers being in this tower for a lot of time but maybe in reality it had been really little. She was already an adult when she first woke up…Oh…right she doesn't remember anything before waking up on a starry night just like this. Just a voice.
“Lady of the Veil? If you are listening once more, please tell me the truth. Who am I really? Is Garen really my brother? Would…would I be able to meet him again?”
Just the sounds of the night answers her call. The gargoyle growls low, grabbing her horns tightly, her magic shutting out of her in the form of a rainbow ray that gets lost into the sky.
“Wow. Would you look at that a nightbow, that is knew”
When Lux pulls away her claws from her horns she can see her beautiful jewel smiling softly at her sitting on the window.
“Be careful”
“Always am”
“Sure you are”
“I am! Besides you would skydive for me”
“Without a doubt”
They both smile at each other and Lux can help herself, especially with this much feelings on her being, she climbs down and not really entering, she lets herself hang from the wall by one claw, kisses Jinx lips. The ex-terrorist follows the kiss, opening her mouth welcoming the parted tongue on her, tracing gold claviques, making little drawings with her fingertips, doing some metal noises tapping into it with her metal finger.
After some panting they pull apart, that serpent tongue returning to its cave.
“I was thinking”
“Looked like that”
“I…was human once”
“Looks like it…”
“Had another family….”
“Yeah…”
“Jinx…”
“Yeah…?”
“Do you think…maybe we can meet again, me and my brother?”
“Well someone really smart and philosophical told me that, maybe your paths were not to be crossed at that time, but maybe you have another stop waiting for you”
“Wonder who was”
“A really bright individual, don't you think?”
Lux laughs at the awful pun and goes for another kiss, her tusks bumping into Jinx´s chin but it is perfect. When they pull apart Lux is serious again.
“Would you have liked me more…as a human?”
“Lux, big girl, I like you for who you are, I couldn't care less if you are fleshy meat or polished stone. I like you so much. I can't tell if i would like you as a human, cause I never met her, but I can tell you that what I met? was the most lovable dork ever.”
“So…If I returned to being a human would you love me?”
“I would, but the important thing is what you want Lux”
“I…the idea of being human sits wrong, like going back to something too little. But there are things I would love to do. Like moving in the sun…or not going into a rock state”
“Well we will look for some treatment for that, still being a gargoyle”
“Would you be okay with that?”
“Of course you dumb blonde”
JInx kisses this creature again, and she can feel purring against her mouth. Making her both giggle and moan. How could Jinx not love her gargoyles mate, when she was so cute and hot?
Lux finally enters with Jinx inside the tower and they embrace each other in their nest, falling asleep into each other.
[........]
So as it turns out Caitlyn's tomorrow turned out into weeks. Trying to do a trip to a past “enemy” country had no easy talks nor messages.
At the end, the fourth month of “The loose cannon” sacrifice entered, and they were still on the city.
Vi was waiting outside the post office. Caitlyn was in, discussing if they have received any response. Apparently the Kiramans, when the hex gates weren't a thing, attended some kind of important ball. Little cupcake had met a noble girl that was the most bright and gentle little lady along with her polite guard of a brother. She had said that she had been just 10 when they met and she was 13…so now the young noble should be around Pow-Jinx´s age.
Vi had been trying her best to accept the name. Thinking of it as just another name. People changed their names all the time. Heck in Zaun was kinda a thing, when you survived enough in the fissures you got the opportunity to change your name, that was because of all the orphans on the streets, most of them just responded to nicknames, and when they were adopted or take in, was when they had the privilege of getting a name, but surnames didn’t exist. Not like in piltover, where a surname meant everything.
Apparently Demacia was the same in those regards.
Ekko was at her side, the boy's savior had almost started crying when she told him the news. He couldn't stop repeating looking at the sky that he knew, he always knew.
Vi was tempted, had been for months now, to ask her childhood friend if he was in love with her sister. If they had been something to each other. But she never had found the words, she didn’t want to mourn anything else like picking on her sister for having a boyfriend.
But now that she was actually out there?Maybe she could ask.
“Little man”
“What?”
“I dont know if your happy or tense, could you please let go of that shit face”
“I´m sorry Vi but my face is sculpted into a forever scold”
“So I see…you are not happy of maybe having your madness back?”
“I am…but genius are madness will forever be twins item”
“What is that supposed to mean?”
Vi looks at him, he takes a deep breath and sits down(finally) at the pink-haired girl's side.
“I know what you are asking Vi, I´m not stupid”
“So?”
“No…we weren't a thing, we never have time to be”
He scoffs at that, apparently finding it ironic.
“Jinx and I had feelings. I'm aware of that, but could have been lost in our mistakes. What hurts me most is that I wasn't there for her, that I gave up on her, and like that I lost a friend. My best friend, so when I met her again, I just wanted to kill the memories of us, and build something new. She was someone who deserved it. I will forever love her Vi, that is a reality I would never break. But that love, now? Is just meant to be friendship, at least I hope she still wants it.”
“You are too mature for your age little man”
“I grew up, faster than you, taller even”
“Oh shut up, you are insufferable”
Vi pushes his shoulder and she can see an easy going smile on him. Gosh this kid needed to smile more.
Finally Caitlyn came out of the building, letter in her hand with a sigil on the stump, one Vi could identify as the Demacian Kingdom one from Cait´s maps. She had a frown on her face, one she often wore when something in her board was odd or when she couldn't remember where she had left her hat.
“Cupcake everything okay?”
Caitlyn sat down on the other side of Vi putting the letter on her lap, starring in front of her, gaze lost.
Vi took the piece of paper in between her hands, the stamp had been cut lightly with an opener. So Caitlyn did not like the insides of it…that didn't encourage Vi at all. But in the end she opened it.
Dear Caitlyn Kiraman,
The King had informed me of your petitions of us meeting for an attempt at re-making our good political bonds. And now with the arcane banished from your lands, there wouldn't be anything we would do to deny the offer. I heard about your mothers passing, I send to you my most sincere condolences, Cassandra was an awesome woman, my aunt talks wonders about her and your family still.
I'm aware that maybe you are surprised by the one who is responding to your letter. I know it was addressed to my sister, but…We lost her, some years ago. Please don't trouble yourself, you couldn't have known.
Luxanna was doomed to be a mage, our military tried to help her with her condition but…the thing that had afflicted my sister grew, of that I'm sure, and she got corrupted with awful thoughts. That she took into her own hands. And she took away her life…I was in the guard at the time…I was 18 at the time…she was just 15…she had so much life in her, please remember her for that. For her great and kind soul, not like a monster, not like a lost girl who took away her path.
Our family is no longer a noble state. But our jobs are still important to the crown, that is why I'm being sent to the twin cities to escort you and your partner personally to our frontiers.
By the time you get this message I'm sure we will be just 4 days from arriving, less even. Silverwings are such fast creatures.
That being said, it would be a pleasure to see you again, Caitlyn Kiraman.
-Great regards from Demacia, Garen Crownguard
“It doesn't make any sense”
“Caitlyn…”
“No…Luxanna would have never done something like that, she was a child full of wonder and kindness. She wanted to see the world and be a soldier just like her brother.”
“Then remember her for that…just like her brother said”
Ekko, having read the paper as well, scratches at her dreads.
“She was captured by these mageseekers, wasn't she? She maybe was broken by them, I don't believe one bit that they wanted to help her, just cage her up. Just like..well how enforces used to do with us Zaunites.”
“Yeah Cait, we don't know what she went through”
“It’s just…something is not adding up”
“Well Garen is in his way yeah? You can ask him all you want, but we have a mission”
“You are right Vi…one problem at a time”
“Yeah we still have our own missing, presented dead girl to find”
“Yes, Ekko, would you be alright alone?”
“Never alone officer, but I will be, you guys take my friend back, and give her a good smack to her head for faking her death”
“Sure will little man”
[........]
The general had been right, after they had received the letter a pack of feathery creatures landed on the skyport.
Caitlyn and Vi sporting their travel bags and uniforms, ready for the mission at hand.
Being guarded by Sevika as the representative of the council to send them off.
They hadn’t told her about Jinx, but Cait knew she suspected something.
Vi wasn’t on board with telling her either, their distaste for each other was still palpable.
More on Vi´s end really.
Vi wasn't sure what she was looking at. A carriage of some sorts being led by two enormous bird-like dragons. Stories were right uh?
When it landed, from the inside emerged a towering figure, even bigger than Sevika, with broad shoulders and a heavy armor, a huge sword at his back. He walked down the platform sporting a smile on his face, one that was full of nostalgia and warmth, one that had been lost in the years at his back. Vi was sure of that, siblings were something else, weren't they?
“Caitlyn! Is such an honor to meet you again, you look so grown up, and with great strength. I`m glad that you were able to fulfill your dreams. Would you mind if I asked for an embrace?”
“You may Garen, but please be careful of my ribs”
The soldier comes closer to the sheriff and gives her what Vi can see as a soul crushing bear hug. Just like Vander used to love.
When they pull apart Garen looks at Sevika and offers her a bow. The woman just rolls her eyes at the man and tells him to give her a handshake instead. They start discussing some business stuff, but Vi isn't listening right now. She has the opportunity of finding her sister finally. When they embark on the carriage she can just stay in the moment because of Caitlyn's hand on her knee. Then Garen, in front of them, tries to start some small talk.
“So, Violet. Is also a pleasure meeting you, Caitlyn talks only wonders on her letter even if it was short. I'm glad she has a good companion”
“Yeah well I'm the dirt under her nails and the gauntlets on her fists, we are a couple of kicking trouble.”
“Glad to hear that you guys are protecting each other”
“Yeah…and maybe it is not great for me to say this, cause I don't know you man but…I'm sorry about your sister, I had one as well and that hole of guilt, for not being there…it never closes.”
Garen´s face has an understanding, tired smile now and gives a nod to the brawler.
“Thank you, for your words…how old was your sister?”
“I think she would be around the age of yours”
“So you were the bigger sibling as well”
“Yeah…they look up to you so much that when you fucked up…”
“You hurt them forever…”
“Yeah…”
“How was your sister?”
“She was smart, a genius really, love to take shows on the road and be spontaneous”
“She sounds lovely”
“Yeah she was…but well she had troubles, ones that I didn't realise when we parted”
“I'm familiar with the case…in some way…”
“That is why big boy…I want to ask something of you”
“Of course, I would gladly give my help in any way I can”
“My sister might be alive, she might be leaving in hiding there”
Caitlyn then chimed in.
“Our mission Garen, as much as it pains me to say this. Is not going for politics but a chase mission. I would, we would ask of you to drop us off quietly at the edges of your nation to start our search, tell the king we would arrive later on in the month.”
“Tell him the little you talk about with Sevika to throw him out of our tail, we really don't need the guards breathing down our necks. My sister does not have a good history with the law, so we need to be quiet. Please as a big sibling I ask you, let me amend my mistakes past and be a better sister to her”
Garen looks at them, first with surprise then recognition. He started playing with his hands, tracing long cured scars with a pensive frown on his brown. He took in a deep breath, and without looking at them he nodded.
“I would have given anything to hold my sister in my arms again, to take all her hurting again. But I Know her body would not radiate the same warmth as before. Mages are their worst enemies, but I wasn't there to help her get better. I let her in hands I didn’t know,trusting on my uncle's force. And look where that took me. What I'm trying to say is…I would allow your
petition to be accounted for. Hold your sister again, find her and make amends. I would root for you”
Garen stoic as ever was holding a hand to her, Vi took it and they both stared at each other for a moment, wanting to let tears fall for the level of understanding they were getting. But they were both pretty stubborn so soon they let go, both of them brushing the little tears off.
“I think they would have been good friends. Luxanna loved colors, and excitement, they would have had the most wonderful adventures.”
“I´m with Garen, Vi, they would have been a duo to be careful with”
Caitlyn hugs her girlfriend by the waist and the zaunite lets her head rest on her shoulder.
“I wish she had had more friends”
[.......]
The most amazing adventure was parenthood apparently, and helping your 15 years old daughter canalice her magic and giving a little movement to your stone made mate.
While your ten year old was on top of her shoulders waiting for her dada to move.
They had had the theory that Alina could power up Lux in some way because Lux had said that when the goldie had sat down on her talon while doodling with Isha waiting for the lunch to be made, she had felt her toes moving. So Alina had taken upon herself to wake the gargoyle up during the day.
“Goldie I am really proud of you going all out, but please if its too much at least take a break, I don't want you passing out”
“Jinx I got this, I can do this, I swear I can help”
“I´m not saying you can't, just take it easy Lina your veins are popping a gold color”
Isha hangs from one of her dadas arm swinging herself around looking at her sister with aw. She loved seeing her magic around. And the little jelly things that visited her to swirl around her light. They were so cute and squishy. Alina had prohibited her from biting one though, so she supposed they were not made out of jelly.
The Sprites were going around the stone creature as well as around Jinx who had her hands on goldies shoulders keeping her steady.
“I got this, my light is strong and good”
“Of course it is, you are an awesome kid, goldie. And you have the heart of this three bears”
Alina laughs at that and at the little bunny growl. The joy and love that she feels seem to do the trick, the stone starts to peel off of Lux, and she wakes up with a mighty roar. Isha makes an excited sound when the gargoyle starts laughing, moving her arm to end up hugging her. And then she scoops up the rest of her family with an enormous tusk smile. They all cheer and Jinx can help but leave kisses on the Gargoyles' now sun tinted face and her children.
“Oh my little spark you sure are a beautiful mage! How are you feeling though? All your light shining?”
“Mhm our bond keeps the flow going even if Im giving you a little”
“Thanks the veil’s lady”
[Alina best rooster]
Isha kisses her sister cheek as well when they are on the floor again, they swirl around the sprites laughing while Jinx looks at how her beautiful mate is extending her wings to the sun lights. Casting a glow around their gold hooks.
“You really are a stunning sunrock Luxie”
“Like what you see my lady?”
“Much”
Those wings go around her and pull her into a heated kiss, away from the children's eyes, they both fall to the grass laughing. Jinx was pinned down to the grass by her mate being eaten out by her tongue and grunts and everything was perfect. Lux licked her neck lightly giving Jinx shocks of excitement, she just took hold of her horns loving the care on her neck. Lux was tempted by leaving a mark on her partner but waited and just nuzzled her head purring and growling on her chest.
Isha and Alina jumped on top of the Gargoyles wing climbing her up, and they were a mess of giggles against all of them.
“Kids seriously, give your parents some privacy would you?”
“No way, Isha wants to go do something fun now that Lux can come with us in the day!”
[Kissing time later]
“Im at your service my darling girls, we must wait my dear Jewel”
“Urggg, fine, okay let's go adventuring you little rascals”
The girls let go of their dada´s wings and Lux was about to stand up as well when she heard rustling on the bushes.
“Jinx…”
“Yes I have heard it too…Girls go into the tower, now”
The children look at each other, Isha is about to refuse but Alina starts pulling her in by the hand.
Lux maneuvers her way on top of Jinx for her to be able to get a hold of her weapon but still shielding her. Her tail swinging around her.
They stay quiet.
And then a bullet comes out of the forest. Jinx fires at it immediately, the bullet and her explosive jolt doing a parade of smoke. Lux lets out a growl making her staff appear on her claw while getting in front of the blunette.
A figure propulsed by the force of some gauntlets came out in the a blurry colliding with Lux´s face, the gargoyle let out a grunt and bite the thing, her fangs piercing the metal with a glow of burning laser like force, her tusks too. And rolled the attacker to the floor, moving her staff to paralyzed it in a cage, but another bullet was sent her way, this time colliding with her armor, piercing through it like butter, making her grunt in pain of a crack forming in her skin. The pink hair figured that had been thrown to the ground went for another blow, with a hiss the gargoyle got hold of those fat hands, sliding across the grass with her talons for support. When she found it she cast the caged again with her free claw, it worked. Then she took a good hold of the gauntlet, ripped it off and smashed the girl into the ground. Jinx was at the side of Lux ready to go after that sniper, but then the adrenaline wear off of her upon seeing the pink.
“Lux! LUX STOP!”
The gargoyle stopped her approaching at ending the girl who had attempted to attack their home and looked at her jewels eyes, another bullet this time to her head was sent, Jinx did the same thing as before sending both of them to the ground. Jinx got up first looking at that little flash on a tree.
“TOP HAT SERIOUSLY STOP FIRING OR I AM GONNA KILL YOU, NOT JOKING”
Lux gets up but just on fours growling and extending her wings with golden eyes and staff swirling around ready to put an end to all of this with a charged beam.
“LET GO OF MY SISTER YOU BEAST. SHE IS COMING HOME. IM NOT LETTING HER GO AGAIN”
At that Lux´s fury calms down a tiny bit, that and Jinx coming in between them.
“Vi, violet ey you dumbshit, as you can see I'm better than okey. So could you please lay down the only bitch mitten you have left and we can…we can talk”
“What? Sis are you seeing the thing behind you?”
“Ey no name calling like that I have never called your girl a "thing" before. A lot of slurs yeah but not that one…”
“What?!”
Lux stands to her full height hugging Jinx to herself making her let out a squeal and Vi is looking ready to pick up a fight again.
“Big girl you are not making this any easy”
“This is your sister?”
“Yep”
“Her girlfriend is the one who shot me just now?”
“Yeah, now we have another thing in common Sunrock”
Jinx lets out a soft laugh while petting her arm.
“Jinx…what is happening?”
And then a swarm of sprites started shooting beams at the enforcer who gasps in pain as one makes a burn at her side. Alina and Isha had gone out, but they were still hiding at the door, the little smart things, and Isha had shot her dagger grazing Vis cheek.
“Ish, Ali, cease fire. We got this under control, it was just your aunts being judgy”
They both do and come out of their hiding joining their guardians
Vi is panting looking at them with a look that should be painted, and is even better than the one top hat is sporting. Just like the one she had seen when she had hugged Vander. Pretty sure to Jinx she was wondering what kind of freakshow of a family she had stumbled in.
“Fat hands, Top hat..meet Lux the most handsome gargoyle ever. And Alina and Isha your nieces and our kiddos”
“Isha is alive…you have children….”
“Lux…?”
“You are…dating a gargoyle…?”
“Lux is alive and a gargoyle and has a family with Jinx…”
“Okay so…I think they're having too many revelations…. Do you guys…want to step in and have some tea? Pilties love tea right?”
