Meet Me By The Morning Sun [Calypso/Elyss]

A humid breeze would grace the shores on a calm morning. The waves would roll by peacefully, as if living without a care in the world. Tiny fish lackadaisically swam against the small rolling waves, the sand, shells, and stones beneath the crystal clear waters continuing their endless shaping by the elements of the world, smoothening and pulsing with the waters' caressing of their forms.

There was a figure, who towered above the small seashore denizens, her feet stepping into the waves, disturbing the linear flow of the fish against the tide. Morning sunlight graced her features as the sky had yet to become it's typical blue, rather being various colors of reds and purples as the sun peeked from the land's grasp in the distance. Dull red eyes would study the city across the water, the orange glow of the mayor's protective amber embrace apparent even so far away, giving the buildings a slight orange tinge in the distance.

The demon's black locks were draped over her sitting body as she was lost in thought, mostly her feelings about Ulv as she looked over her city, entanglements of calm energies flowing throughout the area as her presence was tangible.

..Ulv. I don't understand.

Her heart twisted a little, as she had taken a moment to stop and think about things. Despite what Algos did to her, and tried to do to Ulv, instead of coming to make sure she was alright, she goes on to comfort her sister and have children with her? She didn't even try to look for her - Caly had to come to her and she had hardly a care for her suffering state. At least, that's how she behaved.

Ulv was probably the first being to ever help her, yet.. Things feel so distant, all the more with her literally hanging out with her tormentor and acting like it's no big deal, not to mention the blatant refusal to even tell her what's happening to her.

She had glanced at Algos' memories of her and knew for certain; She was dying, she was dying and she couldn't even tell her to her face what was to become of her.

..I thought.. We were friends? Do you even care about me..?

The dark haired woman's gaze quickly shifted behind her, a display of surprise extremely apparent with the sudden appearance of prickled scales on her body, bright violet eyes staring at the source of the suddenly manifested red-headed woman. Her features calmed and returned to normal once she realized who it was - Elyss. Another person she felt she let down; she knew her but not very well. Sometimes she felt if she made a better effort to reach out...

No, there was no use yearning for what could have been. There was only now to worry about. And now, she could sense a cascade of heart-twisting emotions, some she shared with the woman, even if they were shut behind a colder exterior.

"...Good morning, Ely."

Her tones were soft and delicate as she stared at Elyss in the morning sunlight, pulling her eyes from the city and her mind from her thoughts. She wondered if the woman even recognized her how she looked now, and hoped that nickname would help narrow things down without having to do terribly much explaining. She looked to the crystal waters once more, little fish swimming about and pecking at her feet as she let the serene song of the ocean fill the space for a moment,

"...I'm guessing you know, too? About.. Ulv, and her... Relationship."

Calypso almost seemed ill, irked to the bone by mentioning that word. Her skin momentarily grew a few shades sicker before calming back to it's normal tone. The very notion of calling it a relationship sickened her.

"..I can barely stand to be in that city anymore. Only reason i'm here is because I have a family to take with me, before some stupid shit happens because Ulv is just..."

She let out a deep, demonic growl, tightening her eyes and fists in silent frustration, before settling down and dropping her tensed shoulders,

"...So why're you all the way out here? I'd imagine you'd have taken your tough girl self and gone in and tried to punch her lights out for being literally out of her goddamn mind by now."

She puffed lightly when Elyss dodged her questions, and only told her to just leave if it bothered her so much. The demon sighed, covering her face for a second, before looking back at Elyss. She wasn't crying or sad, just looking a little upset as she had an irritated flicker to her gaze,

"No, I'm not crying. I'm not gonna cry for people who don't treat me well anymore."

She rose to her feet, feeling coarse sand shift at her toes as she turned to look at Elyss fully, crossing her arms as she seemed less than pleased at the moment,

"I'm happy to see you again, to know that you're okay and alive, but the feeling doesn't seem to be mutual. You sound ready to brush me off, what gives?"

The woman before her visibly looked hurt as Elyss threw such a harsh statement out. Though, she didn't get angry, she understood. Even if it wasn't right for Elyss to just blame all demons like that, she understood that the woman was hurt and speaking from that place. She couldn't get mad.

Though, the real question came - If she had anything to do with Minatumi being attacked. This was not a hard thing to respond to at all; she knew what her place in that situation was, and she was more than willing to answer Elyss, not a single pang of guilt or fear on her face,

"Yes Ely, I know Algos. I despise her for all the wrong she's done to me, I left because of her." She nodded gently, looking towards the city once more, "Was I involved? Yes. Did I cause it? No. Algos lost her shit when I made even the vaguest of indications I didn't want to be with her. She battered me, she beat me, she tore Resolve Flame from me, and she tried to make me her's, all while hellbent on killing Ulv and wrecking the city. I was practically a bound-by-chains, drugged up mess from what I can recall."

She then would look back towards Elyss, "And now, they're fucking, having kids, acting like shit's all great," The demon kicked the sand, clicking her teeth, "Bullshit.. Just.. Complete bullshit."

Calypso's gaze soured a bit as Elyss so carelessly amounted the situation to some wild lover's quarrel. Then again, with a lot of demon's behavior on Earth in recent years, the only impression most would have gotten with demons was violence; being beaten and abused probably sounded less severe when it was a demon giving it to another demon. Didn't mean it was a smart assumption for anyone to make, not that she thought Ely assumed it so but she wouldn't be surprised if she did with how unconcerned she sounded.

She bit back any irritations she felt towards such an underwhelmed reaction, releasing a low sigh as her tolerance would be recalled,

"Ely. Algos is my sister. My older, sister."

She spoke with a tone of seriousness and firmness, as she stared at her, "This was no catfight. I 'ended up' in that situation because a good while back, when I was younger, Algos... Forced her presence on me. She took my attempts at loving her, wanting to help her be a better person.. As a reason to love me. A lot. So much. Too much. To the point of dangerous obsession towards me."

Calypso genuinely looked tired trying to recount what had happened in the past; it had taken her a good long while of rolling these thoughts around her head before she fully believed it herself, to the point that having to convince anyone else just felt like another tiring tirade of proving it wasn't her fault.

"Ely, just because i'm a demon, doesn't mean i'm not a person. I have thoughts, feelings, and baggage, just like you, just like everyone. Doubly on the feelings. Just because my sister decided to lose her shit over me meeting back up with.. Who I thought was a friend, doesn't mean I wanted it to happen."

She would then close her eyes, her gaze lowering, nose wrinkling as she felt a small rush of anger and sadness, "..My mother almost died because of her, Elyss. And all I could do at the time was be a beaten fool."

"I left them behind, and went to the real family I should have had. No worries about any remaining feelings; Algos definitely is angry I left. I say... Good riddance.."
