Is that You? (Jauna)

[Skylar Shale]

The half-nymph sat in her garden quietly. She was taking care of the beautiful flowers that stayed there, black, blue, purple, and red roses were what she was tending to currently. She had an odd feeling like something ancient, old, and scary was around but she didn't know what it could possibly be. She stays quiet trying to ignore the feeling. She wondered if Danny was okay she hadn't heard anything from him in a long while and it was worrying her the way any younger sister would be worried about her brother. In her pocket she had a locket, she pulled it out and inside was a picture of her with her family when everything was still young and new, she knew now that what was in her mother's eyes was fear of her father. Little Danny didn't know yet the horrors that awaited him and she was only a baby, she did not know the evil that her father was capable of. She sighs and puts it back shaking her head, she didn't know why she didn't cut her father out of the picture, maybe she needed to remember what he looked like... though she wondered if she was keeping the pain of what he did fresh.

The garden held to a quaint, safe, feeling. That all changed the moment her estranged father materialized into view. The atmosphere quickly slipped into one of anxiety and dread. From thin air a man was driven into shape by nothing more than a strange black mist; it shaped his naturally long and ebony straight hair, his wiry frame, and elegant fingers that drifted just out of reach of the flowers present. Upon his examination of the young woman before him he strolled forwards in a conserved manner, brushing some of the petals with his fingertips. "Ah, it has been so long. So...very...long. Don't you agree?". His eyes set on Skylar while his mouth curved into a malicious grin. The plants he had touched wilted and shriveled.

[Skylar Shale]

Skylar felt it, she didn't want to turn around, the thought of this creature made her want to curl up and cry. She looks toward the being and her breath caught in her throat. Quickly Skylar backs away, till her back met with one of her rose bushes. She looks at her father, and shakes her head, "No... you died... you died in that car accident..." She says shaking her head hard. She looks down at the ground, even after all this time she couldn't look her father in the eye.

[Tyr Madsen]

The grin on his lips only grew wider at her negative reaction to his presence. In a twisted manner laughter escaped his throat. From behind the part in his hair the shock of an unnatural brick red eye was revealed. Bruised veins formed a webbing around the eye itself, pulsing steadily underneath the skin. He tilted his head, coming to a halt. Letting the soft breeze show his other more normal-looking dark brown eye, he contemplated briefly his response. "I never died".

Of course he wasn't going to tell the half-nymph he wasn't her father. The two did look different enough to pick them apart; however, this was entertainment the skeletal man couldn't find elsewhere--so why not run with the idea? In a blink he was close to her face and lifted a hand towards her chin "But I have missed you, little one", he added creepily.

[Skylar Shale]

Skylar looks up at him and shakes her head, "Yes you did! You died I remember it..." She says trying not to cry. She looks around and tries to think of anyway out of this. She chews on the inside of her lip. "You didn't miss me, you don't have the capacity to miss people... that would mean feeling love." Wow did she feel bold at the moment, maybe because they were in her turf and not his... or at least that was how she felt. "You killed my mother, broke my brother, and FUCKED WITH ME!" She says trying to avoid eye contact, she was still terrified, but she also felt like she was hallucinating, it wouldn't be the first time.

[Tyr Madsen]

Glancing down at her body he took careful care in grabbing her chin. If the woman was to squirm the pressure of his thumb would press behind the groove of bone there. "Starting to get a little frustrated? You think I'm heartless...". Jauna met her eyes head on whether or not she acknowledged him, and for a moment he feigned a genuine expression and tone of sadness. It was quickly shaken off as he pulled his body closer to hers in order to whisper, "And you would be right, Skylar". Fear pulsed through the grasp he had on his daughter along with images not known to this plane of existence. Things that would gladly devour her from the inside out. Vivid images of a sunless realm flashed through the area, a hell all its own. He'd keep it to her own mind to differentiate what was real and what wasn't.

[Skylar Shale]

Skylar did in fact try to squirm only to be stopped by the pressure. She listened to his words, her heart beating hard in her chest. The look of sadness confused her, but then it was gone and she had to question if it had ever existed in the first place. His next words sent a shiver down her spine, and then he pulsed fear through the already terrified half-nymph. She screams at the images he showed her. Her own eyes staying on his now, fear going through her entire body, "Wh-what do you want from me... you're supposed to be dad...." she begs tears falling down her face.

[Tyr Madsen]

Jauna stared at her. His face was merely a breath or two from Skylar's own with a look that read as deadly though no anger coursed through his body in either words or actions. "I did want to spend time with you daughter...", he began and as she was trapped against the rose bushes a few of its stems grew out and wrapped its thorny stalks around her wrists. "Entertain me, show me around", he pushed against her his voice breathing down her neck. " But now, now, I'm not so sure, and I have so much to catch up on". For a moment it seemed like he was going to kiss her throat but it stopped just short of it for effect.

[Skylar Shale]

Skylar's breath trembled, she wasn't sure what to do, then the pain of the rose stems wrapped themselves around her wrists. She trembles but since she can't move she doesn't stop him from going towards her throat though she does try to pull away a little bit, "I am no longer the child that you can take when you please." She says though her voice wasn't so sure. Her body trembles more and Danny comes to mind, the need to protect Danny from the nightmare that was in her garden.

[Tyr Madsen]

Thin, sly lips brushed against her earlobe as the greater god breathed out a soft chuckle. Jauna found amusement in the situation. "Is that so?", he asked. The male moaned content with Skylar being bound. The vines continued to grow beyond the woman's wrists and encased a good portion of her arms as well. "So defiant to your father...bunny, I think you are forgetting just exactly...Who. I. Am". The anger flickered in his intonation. Readjusting himself, the god pushed a new section of ebony hair to the other side of his part atop his skull, now looking at Skylar face to face once more. "I am Jauna!", he announced with an abundantly happy exaggeration almost sounding insane, his arms stretched out to either side of his body in gesture as he made a little spin about. only to bow some before the changeling. "A person of great interest to people like you~ Someone who can give...and take accordingly". He watched her limbs entangled in the plants like he was waiting to see her bleed.

[Skylar Shale]

Skylar yells out in pain as the roses dig deep into her flesh causing blood to drip she looks at him, "WHAT Do YOU Want From me?!" She asks tears falling down her face.

[Tyr Madsen]

Putting a finger against his lips, the monster let her question ring in the air for quite some time before devising his own reply. " Respect for your elders...". Jauna's tone faded off into a whisper, a large but silent raven gliding out from somewhere invisible to land on its master's shoulder as if agreeing in its own way. The god failed to acknowledge the bird at first as he continued on speaking, " You are being too loud and", he paused a moment to rub the nape of the avian's neck, " I told you what I wanted. Haven't I?". The gaunt man tilted his face once more thinking aloud as the scenery around the duo dimmed, flickering, and started to take on a gray scale--everything except for the sky that screamed a blood red.

[Skylar Shale]

She shudders and looks up at him, she wanted to reach out and hit him, but she knew better, not to mention there was the damn roses, her own roses. She looks at the floor and kicks the ground, "You want to spend time with me, that's what you said, but... that doesn't sound like you..." She says before noticing the grey scale of everything. She looks up at the sky and shudders again, "Please father... release me..." She begs.

[Tyr Madsen]

Jauna glanced over his daughter's body clearly disinterested in doing anything lewd in nature to her; moreover, his curiosity was more aligned to the half fae's pleas and the crimson that cascaded in a delicate web down her pale form from her limbs.

Vacant eyes stared at her struggling self much like someone waiting for the punchline of a joke. The longer he stood there, gradually more and more ravens started to show. Some of the black birds perched in the trees around the garden, others were more bold and took their spots scattered along the garden grounds--all of which were just as inquisitive of Skylar as their master was. One of them was even so courageous as to make a jab with its beak at her shoes and then call out a grating unanswered war cry to the rest of its flock.

"It's been centuries since we had a little chat. My...fragments here are taking a liking to you, though they haven't fed on a meal in a long while. It's a good thing I'm keeping them at bay". Jauna grinned slyly and found a spot on a nearby bench maybe ten feet from the woman who wanted nothing to do with him, his stature positioned in a relaxed yet in control manner. The environment was slowly returning to normal as he added," Good, we're getting somewhere...finally. Tell me...what is world spinning around with these days? Where are these events going??". Corruption was going to ignore the demands of his daughter for as long as she complained.

[Skylar Shale]

She tries not to scream, seeing all the birds, she closes her eyes for a moment and listens to him she wanted her brother so bad, but she knew that would be the worst thing possible. It was then that another voice came from behind Jauna, the voice of the Goddess of Pleasure and Pain, "Oh you know the usual... huh I figured with the other four back that you would show your face in your god form at some point, it took you a long time Jauna. How's it going being Andromeda's toy?" She asks with a smile on her face leaning back, her tone toned eyes looking Jauna over and tilts her head. Then she looks over to Skylar. "Hey there little one, you okay?" She walks over to Skylar, and cuts away the roses that Jauna used to bind his daughter. She catches Skylar before she falls. "You two can talk peacefully without blood right?" Skylar moves to sit about ten feet away from her father. "What makes the world spin? I... I don't know... there has been so much going on." Skylar replies her voice shaking, she knew Nadja being here meant that she was in serious danger.
