A/N: Happy valentines day, I hope y'all have some fun times w your valentines, be they romantic, platonic or whatever really.
Angelica Godhart POV:
I began to use my Eyes Of Truth on the man known as Valier. The last time I used my eyes on him, I couldn't comprehend his soul. There was nothing in that soul. But now, I could see something. It wasn't emotion or anything. All I saw was a monster, a monster that was unbelievably powerful. I wanted to run, my every instinct was telling me that what I was looking at wasn't human but something... transcendent. Something that I couldn't comprehend.
That monster was chained up though, or rather, it looked like it had chained itself up. Actually, now that I thought about it, rather than a monster, it looked like a black mass of power that resembled... the Devil? It had what seemed to be pitch black wings and some weird looking horns. I didn't know why Valier's soul looked like that, but I think he was... holding himself back. Yes, he was restraining himself.
But I could also see those chains slowly breaking, they were slowly crumbling. I could tell that soon, he wouldn't be able to hold back. And if his strength was as oppressive as the reports from the war against Brittania, then I'd rather not need to make him an enemy.
People like him who's actions didn't follow logic, reason, or even the slightest hint of emotion. People who had an absurd sense of self, pride, and arrogance that made them see everyone else as lower than them, with the ability and/or the potential to back that confidence up.
They were calamities. Natural disasters. Catastrophes. These were words used to describe people such as him.
In my honest opinion, Valier was a dormant disaster, no matter what he did, I was sure he'd be strong. But, the only question was whether he'd be an ally, or an enemy.
Well, he still owed me and he didn't strike me as the traitorous type, so I thought, or rather, I hoped he wouldn't make me disappear in the middle of night. Then again, in this Academy I doubted anyone would try to pull anything like murder, not with that scary ass Principal being here.
When I informed my father, the Emperor, about Valier, he told me that people like him should be left alone. He told me to get Valier on my side no matter what. That was rather surprising from my father as he wasn't particularly fond of Half Bloods like Valier. Yet, he didn't show disdain, all he felt was pity.
But, even if he had some tragic story, that really didn't matter to me. All I was going to do was try my best to keep him under control, I didn't need him to rampage. He was a murderer after all was said and done.
But he was holding himself back, perhaps he was trying to change?
If he was trying to change then, I supposed that I should maybe just watch. If it came down to it and he did lash out, that rather good natured Artorius fellow would surely be able to knock him down a peg. That Artorius guy was a freak of nature after all. Valier was strong, no doubt, but I doubted he could beat that absurdity.
E/N: Big, big miscalc gurl.
A/N: yeah she delusional asff
I believed leaving him alone would be the safest option, but I did arrange to have lunch with him at some point, so perhaps creating an amicable relationship would be a good idea. And honestly, he looked so lonely that it was kind of depressing.
Valier POV:
When I got back to the party, nothing much happened, I did see Leon a few times but I didn't get to speak to him. Once all that was over, we were sent to our dorms. The dorms didn't distinguish between men and women. Only between grades and classes.
They also didn't separate the strong and the weak. One of the more minor reasons was to prevent the weaker students from establishing petty hierarchies. The more major one was that there was no reason to split everyone up, it'd only create a sense of inferiority in the weaker students. And inversely, more average students would somehow find a way to make themselves feel good while the truly strong wouldn't care about those below them.
Unfortunately, I didn't have much more time to think about their reasoning as I had arrived at my dorm already. Dorm Number 666, I was at the end of the hallway, beside me was... Luna Valkyr? That was... interesting to say the least.
She had seemingly just arrived, same as me. I looked at her, and she looked back. She seemed to be pretty red, her entire face was engulfed in pain. Well, she was being fucked up by my poisonous blood and her own transformation all at the same time. She glared at me, clearly understanding that my blood had something to do with this, however she seemed unsure as to whether it really was actually just something else. But after glaring at me for a short while longer, she just went into her room.
'Valier, what the fuck did you do.'
'Woke her up.'
Godsbane didn't seem to have a total understanding of all of my memories, just a lot of them, enough to understand a lot of me. But there were gaps. He also had no idea of my past, meaning he had no idea why I fed her my blood.
'Elaborate for me.'
I unlocked my door and took a look before heading in.
'She's a vampire or something blood related at the very least, and I fed her my blood to wake her up.'
Of course, I knew very well of her Vampiric origins but it'd be a bit suspicious if I was too sure of it.
'Not the worst nor the most questionable thing you've done I suppose. But still, I wonder, how the hell did you even think of feeding her your blood and how did you know that she was a Vampire or something like that?'
'My eyes. Her body seemed different, and I just hoped this would work.'
This was of course, a partial lie. But it was harmless, after all, her body really was different in my eyes. But Godsbane wouldn't question my sight. I had Demonic Eyes along with Odin's eye. My sight would never falter.
'You're a total maniac, who feeds some girl their poisonous blood because they guessed it would "wake her up?"'
