Robin Nieves

Another one bites the dust.

0 · 1,985 views · located in Academia Celestia

a character in “The Multiverse”, as played by Moonscar

Description

1
"The vampire dropped from the roof, right onto an unsuspecting human boy. Her hand wrapped around his mouth, and her fangs sank into his neck. She held him close, thinking only of the blood running along her tongue. When the body went limp, she dropped it onto the ground, and leaned against the wall of the apartment."

2
"One of the monstrous eelheads went for a young brown-haired lad walking down the street, easily swallowing half his body, snapping it in half."

3
"And then he stepped forwards and plunged his sword swiftly in and out of Robin's heart, aiming for a quick death."
-Script

4
"The werecat turned around and made his way back up to the top, only to find Robin ...
... licking the blood?"

-Script

5.
"Robin's reassuring smile only made it worse, but eventually Nairi steeled himself and drew the razor-sharp points down Robin's wrist, a grimace fixed upon his face."
-Script

6
"A body floated into the water, twisted at odd angles, with bones sticking out of flesh. A hat floated past Nairi. Robin's little newsboy cap."

7
"A red dot appeared on Robin's temple. Then his head exploded."

8
"Splat. There may have been no visible end at the top of the stairs, but from the echoing crunch of broken bone, obliterated flesh and destroyed limb. Varyn could hazard a guess that there was indeed an end."
-Gasmask

Nairi grimaced. "Never actually been here legitimately before..." he murmured under his breath, "But have heard good things from people I trust."

The guard spotted that the girl was sinking and cursed under his breath, altering his spell. The sphere vanished to be replaced with floating golden bindings that held her in the air. After a moment, golden runic wards appeared in the air around her. If the ink attempted to pass through the area encased by the runes, it would be burned with celestial fire and repelled.

By this point, several other mages had come running. "What's happening?" one asked.

The original guard turned to the new arrivals, "She's been possessed by some sort of ink creature, I'm not sure of the specifics. We need to get her inside to be cured immediately! And somebody escort these two in as well, I expect the headmistress will have questions for them."

Some time later...

Nairi and Robin were seated alone in an office room, that closely resembled a typical headteacher's office. There were three chairs set out facing the desk - for two parents and one student - and the desk was cluttered with paperwork and stationary. Filing cabinets were lined up against the back wall, and shelves lined with various books filled most of the rest of the available space in the room. The walls were decorated with various awards and diplomas made out to one "Scarlet Dae".

Of course, there were things you wouldn't expect to see in an average headteacher's office as well. An ornate but clearly functional sword was displayed proudly on the wall, not in a case, but on a rack - easily accessible should the need arise. A crystal ball was sat on the desk, swirling with colours within its seemingly infinite depths. And amongst the textbooks and stationary were thick leather-bound tomes covered with runes, and various bizarre looking trinkets that thrummed with magical power.

They'd been waiting for several minutes under the watchful eye of a silent security guard, before the door to the office swung open. Into the room swept a blonde woman dressed in a vibrant red, a cloak trailing behind her and a feathered hat upon her head. "Alright," she said, waving the guard out of the room. "So let me get this straight. You two turn up at the gates of my school with a little girl in the back-seat of your car, holding a sword against her, then she grows tendrils of ink and attacks my guards?"

She paused.

"That all right so far? Yeah? Okay, so you can see how this isn't looking great for you. I've got people working on getting whatever's inside her out, but what I'm going to do with you is still up in the air. And I'm a busy woman, I seriously don't have time for this kind of crap. You know how hard it is to run a school where the pranksters don't fill the corridors with cups of water, they open a portal into the second circle of hell? Fucking hard, that's how hard." Scarlet half-sat, half-fell backwards into her chair, rolling a few inches on the wheels and sighing.

"We brought her here to be cured." Nairi said, "Not to hurt her or anyone. If we meant harm, why bring her here?"

"And the sword?"

"Saps magic. Kept the ink under control."

Scarlet frowned thoughtfully, "Even if I believed you, barring some miracle of nature or an incredibly incompetent adoption agency, she's obviously not your kid. You've got a lot of explaining to do."

Robin stepped forth and put his hands on the headmaster's desk with a scowl. "She was in danger! She's a niece of a... a friend! He asked us to find her. Um..." He looked back to Nairi, hesitating at first. This was sensitive information, but what choice did they have? Robin bit his lips and turned to face Scarlet.

"A witch was trying to kill her. Put a spell on her."

"Sit down, drama queen," Scarlet rolled her eyes at Robin's display, "and calm your tits. It's pretty obvious you're either both incredibly stupid, or you're not the ones who're behind harming her. Why else would you bring her here?"

She sat forwards in her chair, "The fact remains, though, you're not her legal guardians."

Nairi shook his head. "No. But we're bringing her to her uncle. He is. Send someone with us if you don't believe me."

"Slow down there," Scarlet folded her arms, "I have a responsibility as a teacher to do what's best for kids in my care, including ones that get dragged through the gates growing tentacles. Letting her go off with you two, into danger, doesn't sound perfect to me."

"Are you willing to play babysitter, then? Fine with leaving her here, since it's safe. But think she'd rather go to her uncle." Nairi said.

"I have no guarantee that you're telling the truth. I -"

There was a knock at the door. Scarlet looked up irritably, "Not now!" she yelled, "I'm b-"

The door opened, heedless of her protests, and a young man walked in. "Sorry Scarlet!" he exclaimed, "But I figured you weren't gonna let me in till it was way too late, and all the interesting stuff had already happened, so..."

The man had a head of silvery-blonde hair that fell down to his shoulders, and was wearing a long silver cloak over a suit of elaborately decorated silver-and-gold armour. His eyes shimmered oddly, to the point where it was difficult to determine whether they were silver or gold - or a blend of the two. Upon his arms were a set of golden bracers, with gems of red, blue, green and white embedded in them.

Scarlet groaned. "Aeryn, please, can you try and be ... not Aeryn for just a few minutes?"

"Pff," Aeryn grinned, "As if."

Robin looked back and forth between the two people, then looked over his shoulder at Nairi, mouthing, "And who's this guy supposed to be?"

He waggled his hands in the air. "So what are we supposed to do if we go back to her uncle empty-handed? He can't exactly make the trip here, y'know!" he grumped, whirling around to look at Scarlet again. "For, uh. For reasons!"

Scarlet looked between Aeryn and the two boys sitting at her desk and sighed. "I'm not going to get rid of any of you in time for my lunch break, am I? I swear to god, one of these days I will eat sitting down at a table like a civilised human being instead of stuffing a whole damned sandwich down my throat in one go on my way somewhere I'm late to."

"I would literally pay to see the second one," Aeryn interjected, "Just as an aside. You could totally monet-"

"Shut up, Aeryn."

".. 'kay."

The headmistress steepled her fingers and leaned onto her elbows. "Okay. Aeryn, the situation is that these boys turned up on our doorstep with a young girl suffering from some sort of ... magical parasite."

"That's bad." Aeryn noted with a frown.

"But, we've managed to extract the parasite," she went on.

"That's good!" Aeryn stuck his thumb up with a grin.

"However," Scarlet scowled at the silvis, "I'm left with a dilemma as to what to do with her, and them."

Aeryn let his wrist fall limp so that the thumb dangled downwards instead. "That's bad."

Scarlet took a long, deep breath, biting her lip for a moment before continuing. "They claim to be bringing her to her uncle. But I have no guarantee of that claim, since they have absolutely no legal association with her. Neither do they have any contact information for her guardian, who has apparently gone into hiding because of an evil witch who's trying to take over the city. Before you barged in I was about to-"

"Hold up!" Aeryn held up a hand, "Wait, wait, backtrack. Did you say 'evil witch who's trying to take over the city'?"

There was a long pause while Scarlet glowered at Aeryn. The silence hung in the air for several moments before the silvis went on. "Because if you did, that has my name written all over it. I am so down for beating up evil witches. So down I'm below sea level."

"That may be-" Scarlet began, only to be interrupted again.

"Down with the sickness. And the only cure is beating up evil witches." Aeryn grinned.

"For fuck's sake! How does Elante put up with you every single day?" Scarlet slumped back in her chair with a frustrated groan.

"Honestly?" Aeryn tilted his head thoughtfully, "I have no idea. I'm completely insufferable. Though, I'm good in b-" At that point, there was a brief flash as Aeryn's mouth was engulfed by a glowing light that cut him off and left him spluttering indignantly in silence.

Scarlet lowered her hand from casting the silencing spell and sighed. "I should've done that ten minutes ago." she muttered. "Right. Okay, what we're going to do is this," she turned back to Robin and Nairi, "You two seem like decent guys. So I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt that what you're saying is true. I'm not going to call the police, but what I am going to do is send this fuckwit," here she pointed at Aeryn, "along with you to make sure nothing bad happens to the kid, and to get him the fuck away from me before I do something that his husband will regret. You alright with that?"

Robin pointed a thumb ar Aeryn, one eye opened slightly wider than the other. "So you're sending... one guy? This guy?" he asked, placing one hand on Scarlet's desk.

"Trust me," Scarlet allowed herself a smirk, "For all that he's insufferable, loud, arrogant and- so help me god Aeryn if you touch that I will literally shove a mountain up your ass."

Aeryn froze with his hand half-extended towards what looked like an innocuous snow globe, then slowly retracted his arm.

"... anyway, for all of that? That one guy's probably worth more than an army."

At that, the silvis grinned.

Robin's fingers drummed on Scarlet's desk. His bottom lip poked out in a skeptical glare. "Hmph. Well, fine," he huffed with a dramatic cross of his arms. "I guess that'll be okay."

Nairi, who'd been thoughtfully glancing between the headmistress and her ... interesting associate during the discussion, simply nodded his head. "As long as we can stop wasting time here and get moving."

Scarlet rolled her eyes, "Believe me, I want you out of here as much if not more than you want to be out of here. Head down to the courtyard. I'll send word to the people who're with the girl to meet you out there." she said, waving her hand towards the door, "Now fuck off."

*****

"...and then, when it was about to bite me in half, I punched it so hard in the tonsils that I'm pretty sure I ruptured its spleen. And that's how I wrestled a giant rock-wurm!" Aeryn finished as the trio emerged out into the courtyard of the Academy. Nairi shot Robin a grimace that the other boy returned as they crossed towards a pair of mages who were standing with Nanna beside a large archway of carved stone.

When he spotted them, one of the two stepped forwards to meet them with a dubious glance between Aeryn and the others. "I'm told that you're going with them." he said. The mage was young, looking to be about the same age as Aeryn and Robin, with shortish brown hair and an incredibly fancy longcoat.

"Yup!" Aeryn grinned, "Just playing escort, y'know. Making sure they don't take the kid to a murdercave or anything like that."

The mage gave Nairi and Robin a dubious glance. "They don't look like they could murder a goose."

"To be fair to them, geese are quite scary. I remember the first time I saw a goose in your parents' pond. Bastard nearly took my arm off."

"It nipped your finger."

"It hurt, okay!"

The brown-haired young man laughed and ruffled Aeryn's hair affectionately. "Just as long as you're back for next monday. I know how you get sidetracked, but if you're not back home for then I will hunt you down and put whatever's detaining you through a portal into the most unpleasant nether realm I can think of." Here he shot a meaningful glare at Nairi and Robin, but it was somewhat diminished in effect by the corners of his mouth curling upwards in a poorly disguised smile.

Both Nanna and Robin took short, repeated peeks between Aeryn and his brunette counterpart before exchanging glances. Though the small girl was aschen, weak, and had obviously been through a lot that evening, she didn't seem particularly frightened. After all, Wing City kids had to be tough. This kind of thing happened all the time. She even managed a chuckle before turning her chin up.

"Can we go?" she asked sassily, crossing her arms. "I want Uncle Martin!"

Robin rolled his eyes. "A brat even though we saved your life!"

"I didn't ask!" she humped, sticking out her tongue. "I just want to make sure Uncle Martin is okay so he can help beat up the nasty lady."

"Feisty, isn't she?" Aeryn raised an eyebrow.

"You have no idea," the other man chuckled, "Once she was awake enough to speak, she started telling us we were doing our job wrong, and that her uncle was a much better doctor than us."

Nairi sighed, "Let's get moving." he muttered. There were far too many people here for his liking. And they talked too much. All of them.

Aeryn nodded his head, "Alright! Onwards! To... wherever we're going!" he exclaimed, stepping forwards only to slip an arm around the brown-haired mage's waist and sweep him around with a yelp of surprise, before leaning into plant a smooch on his lips.

After returning to an upright position, the mage - slightly red in the face - coughed. "The fact that still catches me off guard doesn't say wonders for my intellect. Right, well. Off you go then."

Winking, Aeryn made a mini-salute, "See ya later, 'lante." he said with a grin.

Elante folded his arms. "Take care."

"Don't I always?"

"No."

Nairi groaned. "Leaving now!" he exclaimed, before starting off on his way, whether or not anyone followed him.

"What he said!" declared Robin, marching off after Nairi with a similar attitude. Nanna, with a raise to her brow at the two men, just shook her head and trudged after the other two boys.

"Uncle Martin sent you two? And the president of the school lady sent him?" She looked around her with utter dismay. "I'm gonna die before we even get back to Wing City!"
