~~~~~ Vala

I tore his heart out and looked at him on the ground.

"My... Your heart is still beating in my hand... Quite fascinating..."

"Vala... Why?" He whispered.

I crouched in front of him.

"I asked your sister for her love... She refused, so I'm going to forcefully take it." I said holding his face in my hand, his heart in my other.

"That's ... Not love..."

I squeezed his heart seeing him squirming in pain.

"You don't get to decide that ..."

I started cutting him up as he was not dying... But eventually ... I won...

Nobody can survive without a heart...

Anyways, I always win...

I turned around towards his men.

"Gentlemen, it looks like I've been chosen as successor. If you don't agree, step up." I said looking at them covered in blood.

A man stepped up but i cut his head off clean.

"Anyone else?"

Everybody looked down in fear.

"Perfect! Show me your latest project."

I was brought into a a gigantic basement. My eyes widened at the purple light.

... So this is what you were working on this whole time ... You greedy bastard.

"What is this substance?" I asked.

"... It's an old substance called shimmer."

~~~~~Achlys

I caressed her cheek as i watched her face.

"Achlys-"

"Don't... I'll kiss you."

"But-"

Her eyes widened as i tenderly kissed her again.

"I warned you ..." I whispered my forehead still against hers.

"You're no fair..." She whispered back.

"We've never played fair ..." I said chuckling.

~~~~~ Jinx

"Achlys..."

She looked back up at me as we were sitting on a rooftop.

"Do you miss me?"

She looked at me confused.

"The ... Old Jinx."

Her eyes widened in realization of what i was getting at.

"... It don't care that you changed." She said looking back at the horizon.

I looked at her.

"You're avoiding the question."

She stayed silent and i had my answer.

"You're both not comparable." She suddenly said.

She turned her attention back to me.

"It's impossible." She continued.

"... I knew it." I said hugging my knees when her hand softly brought my face back to hers.

"That doesn't mean I prefer one or the other..." She whispered softly. "Yes, you're a lot more tame and shy but that doesn't mean I don't live you equally as much."

I looked at her in silence.

"Don't compare yourself with your old self. As much as i loved that version of you too... You went through a lot. I'd never put you through that again. You didn't deserve all of that..."
