Chapter Nine!!! ~ Whispers of Deception The days that followed the celestial clash in the forest cast a lingering shadow over Shay's apartment. Cassiel, recognizing the need to mend the fractures that had surfaced, approached Shay with a sense of newfound tenderness. His eyes, once filled with the weight of celestial conflicts, softened as he sought to bridge the chasm that had formed between them. "Shay, I never wanted any of this to happen. I just want you safe." Shay, the echoes of their recent ordeal still haunting her, met his gaze with a mix of hesitation and longing. "Cassiel, I'm scared. I don't understand what's happening, and I need you to be honest with me." Cassiel, a master of weaving illusions, took Shay's hands in his, his touch radiating a deceptive warmth. "Shay, I promise you, I'll do whatever it takes to keep you safe. You mean everything to me." As Shay gazed into his eyes, a subtle shift occurred. The memories of their recent conflicts faded, replaced by a sense of comfort and familiarity. The warmth of Cassiel's touch seemed to erase the lingering doubts that had taken root in Shay's mind. Days turned into nights, and Cassiel, with a calculated charm, orchestrated moments that dissolved the remnants of distrust that lingered between them. He led Shay into a dance of celestial allure, painting a portrait of love and devotion that eclipsed the shadows of uncertainty. They strolled through the city at twilight, the neon lights casting a luminous glow over their path. Cassiel, his words like honeyed whispers, spoke of a love that transcended the celestial complexities. "Shay, in this vast, cosmic tapestry, you are the only constant. My love for you is unyielding, a beacon in the celestial chaos." Shay, captivated by his words, felt the hesitations fading away like distant echoes. The city around them became a backdrop to the seductive dance of emotions, and Shay, enchanted, embraced the illusion of a love untainted by the shadows of doubt. Under the starlit sky, Cassiel orchestrated a celestial symphony. He led Shay in a dance, their steps weaving a delicate tapestry of desire and longing. The celestial night seemed to conspire with Cassiel, wrapping Shay in an enchantment that blurred the edges of reality. "Shay, in the vast expanse of eternity, our love is an unbreakable bond. Trust in us, and the celestial chaos will fade away." And so, within the carefully constructed illusion, Shay surrendered to the seduction of Cassiel's charm. The echoes of doubt were drowned out by the intoxicating melody of love, and Shay, her heart entwined with celestial illusions, fell deeper into the enigmatic allure of Cassiel. |

Well, Even Angels Have Some Horrible Stories. Chapter ten, the final era. ~ Veil of Remembrance The illusion of love unfolded like a delicate dance, and Shay found herself swept away in the symphony of Cassiel's enchantment. Days turned into nights, and each moment with Cassiel seemed to erase the doubts that had once clouded her perception. In the heart of the illusion, the city became a canvas for their celestial romance, and Shay, drawn into the illusion, embraced the comforting allure of Cassiel's presence. Cassiel, his words a lullaby of celestial promises, continued to weave the fabric of the illusion. "Shay, our love is an eternal flame that transcends the chaos. With you by my side, we'll navigate the celestial currents together." Shay, entangled in the celestial web, basked in the warmth of Cassiel's words. As they strolled through the city at night, the neon lights flickering like distant stars, Shay felt a sense of security that transcended the celestial complexities. But beneath the surface of the illusion, the shadows of doubt lingered, waiting to be unveiled. As the night deepened, they found themselves beneath the city lights, surrounded by the whispers of an illusionary eternity. Cassiel, his eyes gleaming with celestial devotion, took Shay's hands in his, sealing the enchantment with a tender kiss. "Shay, you are the celestial melody that resonates within my soul. Our love is the cornerstone of eternity." Shay, on the verge of surrendering completely to the illusion, felt a fleeting moment of clarity. In that instance, the shadows of doubt danced at the edges of her consciousness. A sense of dread, like a whisper in the wind, brushed against her thoughts. Suddenly, the illusion wavered. Shay's eyes widened as fragments of forgotten memories cascaded back, a torrent of realization flooding her mind. The celestial clashes, Amon's ominous warnings, and the confinement within her apartment flashed before her like a surreal montage. The illusion shattered. In that moment of remembrance, Shay's heart sank, the weight of truth crashing down upon her. Panic surged through her veins, and she recoiled from Cassiel's touch, her eyes wide with terror. "No, this can't be real. You… you've been manipulating me." Cassiel, his features darkening with an unsettling calm, regarded her with a cold gaze. "Shay, my love, you're just confused. Let me explain." But Shay, her sense of dread intensifying, stumbled backward. The words to beg for help lingered on the tip of her tongue, yet a suffocating force silenced her pleas. As if ensnared by an invisible web, Shay felt the words slip away, leaving her trapped within the confines of Cassiel's illusions. Shay's eyes pleaded for help, but the words never properly formed. In that cruel moment, the illusion reasserted its hold, and Shay, once again, found herself teetering on the precipice of the celestial enchantment. |

Chapter 1 (Murder mystery) The main characters will be Kinryu, Cain, Aeliyx and Raedier. More of my characters will be included too.. but those are the main ones. I won't give all of them a chapter about how they arrive, only the mains. Also, if you want an oc included.. PM me with a personality and description :3 Aeliyx is Sweet Poison's character by the by ~ The Arrival The night was draped in a heavy shroud of mystery as Kinryu Sasaki stepped out of the sleek black sedan that had brought him to the grand mansion. The imposing structure loomed before him, its architecture telling tales of opulence and secrets concealed within its walls. The air carried a chill that hinted at the clandestine affairs that had transpired within. Kinryu, with his short, wavy black hair tousled in a manner that echoed a sense of carefree sophistication, surveyed the mansion with bright green eyes that captured attention with their magnetic intensity. He stood at a modest 5'7", his average height belying the blend of approachability and subtle authority that he effortlessly exuded. Dressed in a casual ensemble that seamlessly blended comfort and style, Kinryu wore a hoodie adorned with minimalist designs and tasteful graphic prints. His choice of comfortable sweatpants allowed for easy movement, maintaining a sense of urban flair. The sleek black sneakers on his feet contributed to the seamless combination of functionality and fashion. Accessories adorned Kinryu thoughtfully — a leather bracelet with a small metallic charm added a personal touch, while silver stud earrings provided a subtle rebellious edge. It was a carefully curated look that mirrored Kinryu's meticulous nature and the underlying complexity of his personality. As Kinryu approached the mansion's imposing entrance, the doors swung open, revealing a tall, stoic figure. The butler, a relic from Kinryu's past, stood there, his demeanor unyielding. "Master Sasaki, welcome back," the butler intoned with a bow that seemed more mechanical than genuine. His voice, a reminder of a time Kinryu thought he had left behind, sent a shiver down his spine. "Thank you," Kinryu replied, his expression a blend of politeness and underlying tension. The butler led him through the ornate foyer, its grandeur a stark contrast to the memories it held. The mansion's history intertwined with Kinryu's own, for Alinta Cyrus, the mansion's owner, was a figure from Kinryu's old life. A connection that seemed to have lingered, even as Kinryu had moved on, discovering his true self and acknowledging his feelings for another man. As they walked through the dimly lit corridors, Kinryu couldn't shake the feeling of being watched, as if the very walls held secrets that whispered in the shadows. The butler, a silent companion, led him to a room that would be his for the duration of his stay. "Your room, Master Sasaki," the butler announced, his voice devoid of emotion. Kinryu nodded his acknowledgment, dismissing the butler with a curt thanks. Alone in the room, Kinryu took a moment to absorb the atmosphere. The air was heavy with the scent of nostalgia and unspoken truths. The past had a way of resurfacing, and as Kinryu unpacked his belongings, he couldn't shake the feeling that his return to this mansion would unravel more than just memories. As he settled into the room, surrounded by the enigma of the mansion and the weight of his own past, Kinryu's green eyes reflected a mix of determination and vulnerability. Little did he know that the events about to unfold would test not only his diligence and reliability but also the very fabric of the secrets he had long buried. The mysteries of the mansion awaited, and Kinryu Sasaki stood at the threshold, ready to confront the shadows that lurked within. |

Yummy, delicious words.. Chapter 2 (murder mystery) Be confused about the title, i forgot the whole saying and it fits anyway :3 ~ The Calm Before The night air hung heavy as the sound of a second car engine purred through the silence. The sleek, black vehicle rolled up to the mansion, revealing two figures stepping out into the shadows. Cain Nocturne and Knox Blackwell, each embodying an otherworldly elegance, approached the grand entrance. Cain, a striking anthro raccoon with midnight black fur and silver streaks, stood at 5'10 with a lithe yet muscular build. His amber eyes glowed in the dim light, a testament to his keen senses. Adorned in a fitted, matte black leather jacket with intricate silver stitching, Cain emanated an air of controlled power. His cargo pants and combat boots accentuated his imposing presence, while a leather choker with a sapphire pendant added a touch of mystique. Knox Blackwell, a melanistic anthro snow leopard, exuded an air of mystery and sophistication. His jet-black fur seamlessly blended with dark storm cloud-like markings across his face and shoulders. Piercing emerald green eyes added a vibrant contrast to his dark visage. Clad in a crimson hoodie with silver-grey tree motifs and dark crimson cargo pants, Knox moved with a feline grace that spoke of both danger and allure. His silver jewelry, inspired by nature, adorned him like trophies from a hidden forest. The butler, seemingly unfazed by the peculiar appearances of the newcomers, greeted them with a polite nod. "Masters Nocturne and Blackwell, welcome to the Cyrus Mansion. Master Sasaki has arrived before you." Cain inclined his head in acknowledgment, his amber eyes scanning the mansion's façade with a trained vigilance. Knox, with a subtle nod, allowed the butler to lead them inside. The dimly lit corridors swallowed the trio as they traversed the mansion's labyrinthine halls. Cain's senses were alert, and Knox's green eyes flickered with curiosity. The butler remained stoic, guiding them to their respective rooms with the efficiency of a well-programmed machine. Cain's room was adorned with minimalistic elegance, a stark contrast to the extravagant exterior of the mansion. He surveyed the space with a critical eye, noting escape routes and potential hiding spots. His fingers traced the silver studs on his gloves, a comforting reassurance of preparedness. Meanwhile, Knox settled into his room, the dark crimson accents harmonizing with the shadows that danced across the walls. The air in the room seemed charged with anticipation, and Knox couldn't shake the feeling that the mansion held secrets waiting to be unraveled. Once settled, the butler escorted them to the mansion's opulent living room, where Kinryu Sasaki awaited. Kinryu, lounging on a plush sofa, glanced up as they entered, his eyes narrowing slightly at the sight of Cain and Knox. "Gentlemen, allow me to introduce Masters Cain Nocturne and Knox Blackwell. They were summoned, like you, by the late Ms. Cyrus," the butler announced, his words a somber reminder of the purpose that had drawn them all here. Cain nodded in acknowledgment, his amber eyes assessing Kinryu with a keen intensity. Knox, with a polite smile, took a seat opposite Kinryu, his emerald eyes gleaming with an enigmatic allure. "Kinryu Sasaki," Cain's voice resonated with a controlled strength. "I am here as a bodyguard, and Knox is a...former acquaintance of Ms. Cyrus." Kinryu eyed them skeptically, a subtle furrow forming on his brow. "Bodyguard and former acquaintance, huh? You two are certainly an interesting pair." Cain's expression remained stoic, revealing nothing. Knox, however, offered a charming smile, his green eyes betraying a glimmer of amusement. The trio settled into an uneasy conversation, the mansion's secrets simmering beneath the surface. As they spoke, Kinryu couldn't shake the feeling that there was more to Cain and Knox than met the eye. Unbeknownst to them all, the night held its breath, and the mysteries that Alinta Cyrus had woven into the mansion's tapestry began to unfurl, revealing threads that would bind their fates in ways they had yet to comprehend. The calm before the storm had settled, and the night held its secrets close. |

Chapter Four (Murder Mystery) This one and the next are a bit.. spicy :3 Not all can arrive at once, so enjoy their first day. if you don't understand which ones are part of which series, this one is labelled as "Murder Mystery" and the top of the context so.. ~ Accusations The mansion's imposing facade seemed to exhale a sigh as another pair arrived, a duo cloaked in shadows and mystery. Raedier, an enigmatic assassin, and Aeliyx, the reserved and introverted figure, stepped onto the grounds, their presence woven with an air of secrecy. Raedier, standing at exactly 6 feet, was a study in lethal grace. His sleek, all-black attire melded seamlessly into the night, decorated with subtle patterns resembling shadows. Gold chains draped around his waist, each link a connection to Aeliyx. The pendant around his neck, a willow tree wrought from twisted golden wire, hung as a testament to his craft. His green eyes, piercing and determined, surveyed the surroundings from beneath his mid-length butterscotch hair. Aeliyx, in contrast, sported a more casual ensemble, a black sleeveless turtleneck highlighting his sculpted abs. Faded black jeans with various pockets served as a treasure trove for his nightly finds. His eyes, a captivating shade of blue-grey, held an enigmatic depth, complemented by light mahogany wavy hair. A necklace featuring a willow tree, crafted from twisted silver wire, adorned his neck like a cherished secret. The butler, ever stoic, greeted them with a nod. "Masters Raedier and Aeliyx, welcome to the Cyrus Mansion. Master Sasaki and Masters Nocturne and Blackwell have arrived before you." The journey through the mansion's corridors was accompanied by the soft echo of their footsteps. Raedier's gaze flitted between shadows, ever vigilant, while Aeliyx, normally adept at navigating the bustling streets, felt an unfamiliar knot of nerves in the pit of his stomach. The butler led them to their shared room, a subtle tension lingering in the air. Raedier, accustomed to solitude, didn't seem bothered by the arrangement. Aeliyx, however, felt a nervous energy buzzing within him. Sharing a room wasn't part of the plan, and the prospect made him unusually uneasy. "Raedier, I think I'll go check the living room or something," Aeliyx suggested, fidgeting with the willow tree pendant around his neck. Raedier, with a calm demeanor, nodded in agreement. As Aeliyx explored the mansion's dimly lit halls, his mind raced with thoughts of the night's unfolding events. The rumors that circulated in the shadows hinted at a tension he hadn't anticipated. The enigmatic duo, accustomed to operating in the shadows, now found themselves caught in a web of mystery they hadn't spun. Eventually, they reconvened in the living room, where Kinryu, Caine, and Knox awaited. Tension hung thick in the air as introductions were made. Raedier, ever the calm presence, exchanged nods with Caine and Knox. Aeliyx, standing at Raedier's side, struggled to conceal the unease that danced behind his eyes. The atmosphere grew strained when Kinryu, his eyes hardened with suspicion, confronted Raedier and Aeliyx. Accusations lingered in the air like a silent storm, threatening to shatter the fragile peace that held the room together. "Assassins," Kinryu spat the word, a sharp accusation that cut through the silence. "Did you kill Alinta?" Raedier's expression remained impassive, his green eyes meeting Kinryu's gaze with unwavering resolve. Aeliyx, however, felt panic clawing at the edges of his composure. The truth was a delicate thing, and in the mansion's dimly lit living room, it hung in the balance. "Kinryu, let's not jump to conclusions," Aeliyx interjected, attempting to diffuse the tension. Knox and Caine observed the unfolding drama with a detached amusement, as if watching a play they had seen countless times. But Kinryu, fueled by a mix of suspicion and grief, wasn't ready to back down. The room bristled with an unspoken challenge as Raedier's calm facade cracked, revealing a glimpse of the turmoil beneath. A confrontation loomed, shadows converging in the mansion's opulent living room, where secrets whispered and destinies tangled like threads in the night. The dance had begun, and the players were poised on the precipice, each step resonating with the weight of a truth yet to be unveiled. |

Chapter Five. (Murder Mystery) It's getting spicy :3 Very- Anywho.. 80HD, I'ma need some encouagement in PM's and some ideas for what to do next.. A chapter focused on Aeliyx and Raedier, or another pair? Or have more characters arrive? Also, anyone else who reads these.. show some support in the forum :3 Encouragement means more writing after all 80HD, don't you dare bribe people in chat to say it's good, I feel like you will just to get more words to inhale ~ Echoes of Conflict The living room of the Cyrus Mansion crackled with tension as Kinryu's accusatory words hung in the air like a charged storm. The accusation that Raedier and Aeliyx were assassins, coupled with the shadow of Alinta's murder, cast a veil of suspicion over the room. "You bring assassins into this mansion?" Kinryu's voice cut through the silence, his eyes narrowed in a mix of anger and fear. "Alinta was murdered, and you welcome killers into her home? How can anyone feel safe?" Raedier's stoic exterior wavered for a moment, his green eyes flashing with a mix of frustration and sadness. Aeliyx, standing at Raedier's side, felt a growing unease as the accusations escalated. The mansion, once a refuge, now felt like a battleground where secrets waged war. Aeliyx attempted to intervene, his voice calm but strained. "Kinryu, we didn't come here to cause trouble. We're just trying to understand why Alinta summoned us." But Kinryu, fueled by a mixture of grief and suspicion, was beyond reason. "Summoned or not, having you two here is a threat. I won't let assassins roam freely, not when Alinta's murderer is still unknown." The tension snapped, and like a tempest unleashed, Kinryu lunged at Raedier. The room erupted into chaos as their physical confrontation began, the sound of blows echoing through the opulent space. Aeliyx, torn between loyalty and the desire to avoid bloodshed, hesitated for a moment. The fight escalated, a clash of opposing forces that reverberated in the dimly lit room. Cain and Knox, sensing the imminent storm, were led away by the unyielding butler, their departure a retreat from the brewing conflict. As Raedier and Kinryu grappled, Aeliyx watched, torn between concern for his friend and the understanding that this confrontation needed resolution. The butler, ever vigilant, appeared indifferent to the unfolding drama, standing at a discreet distance. Ten minutes passed in a tumultuous blur. Raedier and Kinryu's movements were a dance of aggression and defense, each grappling for control in a struggle that seemed to transcend the physical. Finally, Aeliyx, his nerves stretched thin, stepped forward. With a swift motion, he pulled Raedier away from Kinryu, the tension releasing like a plucked string. Raedier, his breath heavy, shot a final defiant glare at Kinryu before turning to Aeliyx. "Are you alright?" Aeliyx's concern was evident as he checked for any injuries on Raedier, his hands gentle but firm. Kinryu, recovering from the altercation, watched the scene with a mixture of frustration and uncertainty. The butler, maintaining his composed demeanor, approached Kinryu. "Masters Nocturne and Blackwell have been escorted back to their rooms. It would be wise to retire for the night and allow tensions to settle." Kinryu, begrudgingly acknowledging the wisdom in the butler's words, nodded in agreement. Aeliyx, still focused on Raedier's well-being, nodded in response. The living room, now a silent witness to the confrontation that had transpired, held the echoes of conflict. Shadows clung to the corners, secrets nestled in the cracks of the walls, and the night whispered its enigmatic lullaby. As the players dispersed, each retreating to their respective corners of the mansion, the mysteries of the Cyrus Mansion deepened, and the dance of shadows continued. |

Y'all.. did you know if you click subscribe (on the first post) you can get notifications whenever i post? :000 Chapter Six of the murder mystery. ~ Embers of Connection In the dimly lit confines of their rooms, Knox and Cain found themselves drawn into a conversation about the unfolding drama. The murmurs of the mansion's secrets reverberated through the air, and as they sat in muted conversation, the enigma of the evening unfurled. "I can't say I expected assassins to be part of this gathering," Knox remarked, his emerald eyes thoughtful as he lounged on a plush chair. "It adds an odd layer to the whole situation, don't you think?" Cain, perched on the edge of a dark wooden desk, nodded in agreement. "Indeed. Alinta's request brought us here, but the presence of Raedier and Aeliyx is perplexing. It's like we stepped into a play with hidden actors and obscured motives." The conversation wove threads of speculation and uncertainty, the duo contemplating the unfolding events like seasoned observers of a theatrical spectacle. As the weight of the evening settled, the mansion itself seemed to hold its breath, concealing secrets within its opulent walls. In another corner of the mansion, Aeliyx paced back and forth in their shared room, his nerves frayed from the confrontation. Raedier, seated on the bed, observed his friend's restless energy with a patient calm. "Aeliyx, I had to do something. I won't let someone accuse us without reason," Raedier spoke, his voice firm but laced with frustration. Aeliyx, pausing in his pacing, turned to face Raedier. "I get that, but you can't just resort to violence. Kinryu might not understand our world, but we need to find a way to coexist peacefully. Fighting won't solve anything." Raedier sighed, running a hand through his butterscotch hair. "You know how I feel about people who don't understand us. Kinryu is just another person who thinks we're monsters." Aeliyx shook his head, his expression softening. "Not everyone sees us that way, Raedier. We can't let one person's opinion define how we navigate this situation." The room fell into a tense silence, the weight of unspoken words lingering in the air. Aeliyx, ever empathetic, reached out to Raedier, his hand resting on his friend's shoulder. "We're in this together, but we need to find a way to make it work. Fighting won't help." Raedier nodded, a reluctant acknowledgment of Aeliyx's wisdom. The night had unraveled, revealing complexities that extended beyond the bounds of their understanding. Meanwhile, in another part of the mansion, Kinryu, his emotions still raw from the confrontation, found himself under the attentive care of the butler. The stoic figure moved with a quiet efficiency, tending to Kinryu's wounds and offering a reassuring presence. "You must understand, Master Sasaki, that this gathering is not without its challenges. The dynamics between the guests are intricate, and navigating them requires patience," the butler spoke with a calm assurance. Kinryu, his pride momentarily set aside, nodded in gratitude. The butler's words held a wisdom that transcended the surface, a silent guide through the labyrinth of emotions that enveloped the mansion. As the night progressed, a delicate dance unfolded within the walls of the Cyrus Mansion. The players, each burdened by their own stories and motives, moved through the tapestry of secrets and shadows. The embers of understanding flickered in the dim light, and as the night whispered its enigmatic lullaby, the threads of connection slowly began to weave. |
