Chapter Text
Azure’s POV..
Azure was solemnly looking at a field of flowers. Nightshades.. His favorite flower.. The same flower he had shared memories with Two Time.. He loved them dearly but can no longer be with them. Corrupted by the Spectre’s hatred and malice, he’s stuck in a state of hatred and control where he no longer could control his words. He was tricked into the Spectre’s grasp by its deception using his very own belief of the Spawn.
“Who knows how long it has been since I last show them.. Please, in all of my faith to the Spawn.. Keep them safe. I know it’s now my whole purpose to kill and torment these poor souls stuck here for eternity.. But I feel all the guilt of killing them over and over in my heart. Please, dear great Spawn. Protect them for as long as I live.. Even if I’m already dead..” Azure mumbles to himself. A quiet prayer, a quiet lament. His heart heavy with guilt, hatred, anger, fear, and a mix of other emotions. He wants to break free from this eternal hell but can’t. He’s already apart of its grasp and now has become apart of it. He can no longer escape, he already lose everything..
“Azure! Azure! Hey, are you even listening!?” A voice interrupts Azure’s thoughts.. It was Noli, a fellow killer and puppet of the Spectre. The two were having a conversation but Azure wasn’t talking much. In fact, he wasn’t even paying attention much and was instead stuck in his head thinking about his love for Two Time and how he wishes for them to be in his life again. “You daydream so often that it sickens me!” Noli complained, his glitching voice makes it all the more annoying to listen to.
“I get it, I get it. You totally miss 007n7. We all know. You rant to everyone about it, Noli. Maybe you should really consider shutting up for once.” Azure scoffs, rolling his eyes in the process. He just turns around and walks away from where him and Noli were standing. He was thinking about walking back into the Spectre’s palace again to get some peace and quiet from this annoying glitching jester who yaps more than he kills.
“Oh, you’re no fun!” Noli complains again, this time he says it in a mocking tone. Azure didn’t care the slightest as he finds Noli the most annoying killer and colleague. He’s even more annoying than a fucking child (c00lkidd) and somehow he’s a literal deity.
Shattered Palace [Inside] - Common Room..
Azure was sitting down at one of the chairs in the common room. The Shattered Palace, also known as the Spectre’s Palace, was quite massive which Azure found hard to navigate. He was just taking a sip of his drink, which was just some iced water, when he heard someone walking into the common room. He looks at the entrance to find 1x1x1x1.. 1x was the Spectre’s most prized killer since he was a creation made by the deity and admin of the Heights, Telamon (now known as Shedletsky). 1x had very immense potential and power and was favorited by the Spectre because he could only feel pure hatred and nothing else.. Everyone thinks 1x is just a slave to the Spectre (even if they all are also slaves to the Spectre) except Azure.. Because Azure seems to see something coming from 1x that just seems all too familiar. Like he has seen and felt it before.. 1x goes to take a sit next to Azure, but doesn’t talk to him. He never did. They never talked or even interacted once outside of rounds when they were paired up. Even so, they rarely ever talk during rounds and if they do, it would just be a few words before just completely silence. Azure barely knew the guy but yet he felt like 1x was.. special to him..? Strange.. 1x just gets a glass of water as Azure gives him some quick and subtle glances.. Maybe Azure could use this opportunity to talk to him..?
