The unsought [Active]
Character(s): Ansem, Yorda, Mao, the Master, and Urd.
Content: Ansem has plans for Yorda... and those who know her aren't happy.
Setting: Spira, the Calm Lands
Time: Late morning, late in Week 37
Warnings: Violence, darkness and a case of mistaken identity.
Yorda had quickly learned what to expect whenever Ansem had summoned her. The questions, not all of which she could answer, the doors she'd been made to open, and worst of all, the subtle reminders of her delicate situation. She'd stay with him in order to protect Mao - she had to, or Ansem would hurt him. So the glowing girl had been wholly compliant, bearing her situation without complaint - though meeting Kuja had helped. Arrogant and dismissive as he was, at least he wasn't Ansem, and she'd taken to bringing him tea whenever she saw him lurking about, listening to him talk about himself. It was company, at least, and although she didn't know how long she'd been locked away in the building, she'd found herself growing fond of the odd man, even if she didn't know what he was doing there.
The princess glanced nervously at the windows of her quarters and repressed a shudder. It was always dark in here - she always had to light the lamps or go by her own glow in order to find her way. She'd kept the curtains closed, not wanting to see the strange, sharp shapes hanging over the glass. Yorda tried to push it from her mind and went back to reading the book in her lap - a tome about the history of Paixao. At least Ansem generally allowed Yorda to do as she wished here, as long as she obeyed him.

Why...? A familiar voice pierced through Mao's head. Dad... Almaz... Yorda! Mao shook, placing his hands over his ears in a futile attempt to silence the cries of his heart. Why did it have to shout like that again?! Why wouldn't they just shut up?! He thought he'd destroyed them when he went inside his heart that time, so why...?
Was it guilt? Was that what this crushing feeling was? Was it sadness? Demons weren't supposed to feel sad! He hated these feelings... He hated them so much! So why did he have to feel them again? Why so soon? Why at all?! And this... This was all because of him. Always, always, always HIM! Him and his stupid Strongest Overlord obsession! When would he leave him alone?! Why wouldn't he leave him alone?!
Mao's hands balled into fists, his gaze locked on the ground, his entire body shaking.
That bastard...
A spark went off near Mao's feet. Something within him stirred. The air around him thickened.
