Fell from Hel - A FEHA Prompt 11 Entry

Fell from Hel

It was a peaceful day in Askr, and Princess Sharena was with Fjorm, Eir, and Princess Veronica. This will be done in the fashion of a Tempest Trials where all the girls talked and got along.

“It truly is a wonderful day to be out here... I am very thankful to spend it with the three of you.” Fjorm told them with a gentle smile. “I would like for Alucia and I to walk through the gardens like this one day! If she would allow it, of course...”

Sharena gave Fjorm a knowing glance. “Oh, I’m sure she would be happy to so long as she isn’t busy! Even then, she deserves plenty of rest given how much of a better place she has made the Order of Heroes. I’m sure it could all be arranged for us to take a leisurely stroll through here. Maybe we could even get the you in the wedding dress to come too, my super bun-bun pal, and Bunronica... hopefully even Zach, bunny Zach, Alfonse, and my super bun-bun brother from another world!”

“I could perhaps even invite Xander, as kind and loyal as he’s proven to be to me... it would make me all warm and happy.” Veronica chimed in, hopeful that the girls would listen. “Loki too... she may mess with me, but she doesn’t leave me.”

“Of course Loki and Xander can come. The more the merrier, and it can be a big party of Heroes! What do you think of that, Eir? Is there anybody you want to bring?” Sharena asked gleefully, hoping to rope her into the conversation too.

“No... I would not. The only person I would want is... and I couldn’t bring him here. Not right now. It’ll be his time eventually I know, but until he is ready to us, I won’t try to convince him. Thank you for the thought, and that’s something I haven’t been able to say until recently.”

Sharena frowned a little. “We can welcome Líf anytime... but you’re right. We shouldn’t push him to come. I just wish there were more people you know here.”

“No, you’re all enough, really- we should give it a rest since Alfonse is coming this way.” Eir insisted, turning towards the incoming Prince of Askr.

“I’m not interrupting anything, am I? Alucia is about to summon, and I thought you four may want to greet the new Heroes. Would you?”

“Count me in!” Sharena cheered.

“I suppose I would like to.” Veronica said, slight excitement shining behind her cold exterior.

“I would like that.” Fjorm said. “After all, we have welcome many great friends here lately.”

“Yes, that would be nice.” Eir agreed.

“Then let’s go!” Sharena said, waving them along as she started running towards the summoning site.

A bead of sweat appeared on Alfonse’s face as his lips dipped into a frown. “Be careful, Sharena! We don’t want any accidents.” He called, chasing after her.

*The Summoming, Alucia’s POV*

I stood in the room with my three bench warmers, along with Eir and Sharena. Anna didn’t get to be here because she’s been shafted everywhere else anyways. I had finally obtained five orbs after all my yearning, and given all my impatience, I decided I wanted to pull for a single unit. The dream would be a dancer like Lene or Sky-High Olivia, but alas, I only recieved five green orbs, meaning my chance of a dancer has drastically gone down. Reyson is my only hope since a merge is always great. I raised my gun, the emtpy feeling of having zero orbs nearly consuming and corrupting my spirit, and pulled the trigger. The laser of energy bust the orb in the bottom right corner, and out appeared a 5* Eir - Fell From Hell. She was a flying axe.

“My name is Eir, but you can call me your deliverance. Life is fleeting, but I am eternal. Prove to me your spirit is, or be consumed with me!” The Eir engulfed in a violent violet flame said. Her eyes were a menacing red with madness dancing between them. Clearly, this was not the Eir I was proud to call my second favorite.

The room was silent, my bench warmers and friends standing with their jaws practically on the floor.

“Is that...?” Sharena asked.

“I’m afraid so...” Eir said somberly.

“We’ve welcomed all sorts of people here, and we’ll welcome you too. Welcome to the Order of Heroes, will you fight with us, Eir?”

“You seek command of me? In exchange, I require the deaths of over a thousand people, one for each life taken from me. There will be justice, and there will be suffering. Are we clear, or do I need to clarify?”

“Look, were I’m from, we’d call you an edgelord. Although I will say you were already a bit of an edgelord - sorry, normal Eir - but that’s beside the damn point! Bend your knee, bitch, or I’m sending you home.” I threatened, knowing my rights as the summoner.

“Alucia, aren’t you being a bit aggressive?” Sharena asked, looking at me in concern.

“No. Everybody sends home good Heroes for the dumbest of reasons instead of being smart and using them as fodder, so it’s fine.”

Alfonse just shook his head at me, presumably for being a shady little bitch. Oops.

“I refuse to listen.” The Fallen Eir scowled. “I’ll be your ruin.”

“Maybe... she would get along with Arvis?” Fjorm asked curiously.

“Or maybe one of the Grimas.” Sharena said, hoping to help too.

“Do they know what it’s like to be lonely and suffer? I doubt that. The only person for me was mother, and she was hardly that to me. All she wanted from me was my power, so one day I took all the power she craved for myself. Those who smile have never felt the pain of loneliness, and have never felt how truly cold life can be.”

“I do.” Veronica corrected, stepping closer. She didn’t have a shred of fear in her eyes. “That is why I have found Xander. I forced him into a contract with me since that is the only way to make anybody other than Bruno and Loki stay, and Xander has taught me many things. You need a Xander. Without him... I would have ripped everybody’s head off like my dolls. I would still like nothing more than to see Askr burn for all the pain they have caused me, but Xander says they are good people. Now come and us before I split your skull. I will not risk you hurting anybody I like.”

“How foolish. You were still left to suffer alone and you say that. Come to me and I’ll show you true pain... pain you’ll feel for nine days. That said, don’t mistake that as a choice.” With that, the Fallen Eir went to grab Veronica with a choke, only to be intercepted by Eir.

“I have suffered alone... so I know. I also know that death is deliverance, but your idea of deliverance is more cruel than mother has ever been. Our memories of the blue skies and white wings... and do you the last part? Gentle smiles. We’ve suffered, but not as much as you’re suffering now. us, and maybe you too can see the same hopeful spark I’ve found here too.” Eir told the corrupted version of herself, desperation clear in her somber voice.

“If you don’t say yes after that, I’m sending you home.” I cut in. “I told Ninian I’d go with her to play with the other little dragons, and she’s more important than you.”

Fallen Eir rolled her eyes. “Very well. I’m curious, I will it. Though disappoint me, and I will rain down diseases and death to all who oppose me- even if they’re in this group. You have one week.”

“You won’t be disappointed, Eir.” Alfonse promised.

“I know I wasn’t.” Eir said wholeheartedly.

Wow, I finished a FEHA prompt for once, and made my first writing piece on the Amino! This is probably the fourth or fifth prompt I wanted to do, and I’ve started at least three, but unfortunately never finished any of them except this one.

I am ittedly not a fan of some of the characters in here, so I hope I pulled them off alright! The weakest was probably Veronica, if I’m honest. I tried to keep their mannerisms as in-character as possible, and tried to at least keep the way they speak somewhat consistent with the game itself.

For the first time sharing my writing here, I’m pretty happy! It took numerous hours and a good chunk of my phone battery (basically I started as soon as the prompt started), and I’m glad it isn’t super short or anything. I apologize if I missed typos, I’ll fix any if I suddenly seen them pop up :/

Thanks for reading all this!
