KUON

[KERO @KEROLL5]

。。。
#UNI2_KU

[𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐄𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐥 : 𝐀𝐞𝐨𝐧 @eternityweaver]

was peeking through the cracks of his otherwise cold demeanor.

「I assure you that even a terrible villain such as myself can occasionally find solace in the company of another. Perhaps you could think of this...as a respite from our may-or-may-not-be inevitable conflict?」

[𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐄𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐥 : 𝐀𝐞𝐨𝐧 @eternityweaver]

Kuon simply snorts, his ethereal form flickering beneath his robes.

「 You're such an amusing boy. In the words of the young people 'don't sweat the small stuff'. You and 'that woman' are precious pawns, after all. It wont benefit me to cause you serious harm especially now.」

[𝙃𝙮𝙙𝙚 𝙆𝙞𝙙𝙤 @V0id_Red]

A nervous sweat drop rolled down his face... he was very uncomfortable with the whole situation, and it was showing.

"...I get the whole villains needing to take a break, but even so, I don't trust you. Especially when you ask ME to keep you company."

[𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐄𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐥 : 𝐀𝐞𝐨𝐧 @eternityweaver]

「 When the time comes for us to fight. Should it come. . . You'll receive fair warning. I am using your life to further my own ends, it's only right you have a chance to fight for it.」

His tone shifted briefly to something akin to genuine warmth, a vestige of the man he once-

[𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐄𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐥 : 𝐀𝐞𝐨𝐧 @eternityweaver]

tones, like it had to crawl from deep within his half-voided body, clawing all the way out with a hatred so intense it would choke a lesser In-Birth to death.

「Until I've accomplished that, I wont stop. Even if I have to plunge the human world into depths of hell itself. . .」

[𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐄𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐥 : 𝐀𝐞𝐨𝐧 @eternityweaver]

「It's not that I don't agree that you and I both no longer have a place in this world. We've existed with this curse for far too long. But I cannot stop now. I wont stop. Not until I've taken that man's head.」

Kuon says sharply, tenor low and heavy unlike it's usual soothing-

[「Ｌｉｎｎｅ」 @Divine_Chains]

Why don't you just go back to whatever hole you crawled out of big brother?

We hardly have a place in this world...I think it's high time that you accept that. Let us both rest before I have to name myself a kinslayer...

[𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐄𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐥 : 𝐀𝐞𝐨𝐧 @eternityweaver]

「 Now, I can feel your resolve bearing down on me like a blade to my neck. Still, I suggest you think carefully about what you're doing. The battle ahead and the price to pay for what you intend will be like no other you've experienced before. Are you sure you're prepared?」

[𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐄𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐥 : 𝐀𝐞𝐨𝐧 @eternityweaver]

「 Ahhh, you'll have to forgive me. . . When you've lived as long as I have, everyone your age all start to look like children, you see. 」

Kuon's lips curve into a sardonic smile.

Despite his playfulness, the words are equal parts sarcastic as they are genuine.

「But. . .」

[「 𝒮𝑒𝓉𝒽 」 @NefariousChains]

"I suppose it is only natural that you would be surprised...I was but only a boy when we last saw each other...

But I can promise you, that I have grown into the warrior that can protect Linne...and on that Night, that is exactly what I intend to do..."

[𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐄𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐥 : 𝐀𝐞𝐨𝐧 @eternityweaver]

「 You're right. You've grown so much since I've been away I hardly recognized you at first. Before you could scarcely stand to meet my eyes and now...」

He chuckles softly, running his Voided fingers through his hair.

His red eyes, bereft of life, narrow with a knowing look.

[𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐄𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐥 : 𝐀𝐞𝐨𝐧 @eternityweaver]

Kuon: "Your abyss-cutting days are over. Gimme the insulator."

Hyde: "If you want it..." *loudly scraping the legs of his plastic chair as he turns around.* "You'll have to take it."

[𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐄𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐥 : 𝐀𝐞𝐨𝐧 @eternityweaver]

@NefariousChains ✰ ✰ ✰ II He's such an unserious little shit i love him. his interaction with kaguya too are gold.

[𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐄𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐥 : 𝐀𝐞𝐨𝐧 @eternityweaver]

✰ ✰ ✰ II Kuon literally just asking Hyde for insulator back nicely on the off chance he would actually do it is still the funniest shit a final boss has ever done to me.

[𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐄𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐥 : 𝐀𝐞𝐨𝐧 @eternityweaver]

〝 Seth-kun, huh. . . ? I had a feeling I would see you sooner or later. It puts me at ease to you're looking more confident than before.〞

[「 𝒮𝑒𝓉𝒽 」 @NefariousChains]

"I've been waiting for you...Kuon..."

[𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐄𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐥 : 𝐀𝐞𝐨𝐧 @eternityweaver]

Yes, perhaps he could take this chance to leave Linne alone and just let his sister have the small piece of happiness she's found in their shared torturous existence but consider this:

1) He doesn't want to

2) Her power is right there

[𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐄𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐥 : 𝐀𝐞𝐨𝐧 @eternityweaver]

Too late for regrets now. You know I have never been one to turn down such a direct challenge.

Now come. . . !

Will your blade be enough to repel me before I've stolen that power from you?

Let's leave it to 'chance' shall we?

[「Ｌｉｎｎｅ」 @Divine_Chains]

It doesn't make me feel any better if your asking for it...

[𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐄𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐥 : 𝐀𝐞𝐨𝐧 @eternityweaver]

A round of soft laughter echoed in the dark, bouncing off stone and fading at Hyde's panicked reaction. This boy never failed to amuse him.

〝 Worry not. I was simply taking a night-time stroll and happened to see a familiar face. Care to keep this old man company? 〞

[𝙃𝙮𝙙𝙚 𝙆𝙞𝙙𝙤 @V0id_Red]

He's slowly turning around...

"Well, I WAS... but now I'm not. Why are you here?!"
