Name: Padlan
Prompt:

"I told you, didn't I? You were never meant to be the protagonist of the story." Padlan looked, looked at the deity from above, that mocking smile playing on their lips, their eyes cold and heartless. Why? Why must he play this part, a cannon fodder for the true holy son of the world, why? What did he do wrong? Take your part and play it, merciless words that had been spat from the lips of the one sitting above, not a thought of his own feelings and own wishes about the matter. To them he was merely a puppet in the grand scheme, his strings held tight as he was played to and fro.

Be the villain that is your role. His mother who was gentle, his father who was kind, his sister who was sweet, every last one turned their backs on him and all he could do was watch. In his mind, he screamed, he cried, he begged, please don't turn you back, it's not me, it's not me! But no one turned around. Instead they followed like mice led by the pied piper to the chosen ones side, and he? He was left alone. Forced to play his part as the villain in the story. Anger, helplessness, sadness, all bottled into one perfect potion called despair. After all was said and done, the villain was finally vanquished in the final battle leaving everyone else to live happily ever after. The villain got no such happiness.

He looked at the deity with great grievance and hate, all of this, all of this caused by this creature who ruled the world. "Pitiful child," he said, "What a shame no one loves you, no one cares," the smirk on his face said otherwise. But I know the truth, he too was not the chosen one, the protagonist of this story. So I laughed. I simply laughed and laughed until I was out of breath, the deity seemed confused and my apparent delirium.

I went silent then looked at him abruptly, a smirk on my face, mimicking those words he spoke, "What a shame no one loves you, no one cares. Pitiful deity." His eyes went murderous and face dropped, yet I kept going, jabbing harder and harder at all of his yearnings, fears, wants, everything such a deity couldn't have, I knew too well what he wanted but couldn't have, because he made me not be able to have them either. "You're just like me, no, you made me just like you, what a lonely deity". Feel the anger I thought, join me in my descent into madness, anger, hatred of the universe favouring the chosen one. We as villains after all can never be the protagonists… but we could always try and kill them.

Username and ID: Griff 254592
Name: Paradise AKA Perry
Prompt:

The song of the siren was said to lure sailors to their deaths... but that was not the case. At least, not always. The night was stormy, and the way back to the shore was almost impossible to see. Perry knew that alone the entire crew would drown, and none would survive. For so long she had kept her heritage close to her chest, afraid the very crew she loved would turn upon her. She loved the seas, loved the tides, the unique songs that the waves brought. Even as it stormed, there was a strange pleasing melody...

No matter. It was now or never. She stood as high as she could and unleashed her voice into the waters. Creating a path, soothing the waves, allowing a way home. She sang as hard and as loud as she could, wanting to see her beloved people home. The salt stung her lungs, her eyes... but none of that hurt as much as the looks of her fellow crewmates. Horror, anger, betrayal...

"No wait, I am one of you! I just-" She had tried to explain, but before she could, she found her throat cut. Eyes wide, she could only watch the crew and boat sail towards home as she was tossed overboard, left to die and muted. But the oceans knew their daughter, and healed her wounds. A fierce rage burned in her chest, a pain she had no words for. If they wanted a monstrous siren... well. Then she would give them one.

With that, her determination was lit. She gathered a crew of her own, misfits like her, and set to sink any and all who would tear her down. Let them drown, let them scream. Her voice was louder than ever, and they had been the cause of it all. The sirens now owned these waters...

      username + id: rem sleep 224745 // name: ares

        As the door shut with a heavy note of finality, Ares merely sat, staring at it. The shock of the moment hadn't adequately set in yet, he thought to himself. But that wasn't true. He could hear his heart hammering in his chest, could feel the fire searing at his core, the sharp sensation of his own nails digging into his palms. No, the shock of the moment had set in. So too had the fierce bite of betrayal. Despite this, Ares stared at the door all the same, dumbfounded, at a total and complete loss for any words. He stood like that for a long while.

        He really should've suspected as much.

        After working his entire life, slaving so hard, for this company, this mission... he was locked outside. But that is the end of the story, and not the beginning.

        Ares had been a young and inspired man once. A fresh graduate of genetics looking for experience in his field, Ares applied for anything he was remotely qualified for. Some rejection letters hurt worse than others. But he expected as much, looking for an entry field that would be merciful enough to let him into a lab. But after weeks upon weeks of applying, he finally got one letter in the mail that didn't begin with an apology.

        Ananke. An up-and-comer. Pathos was trying to make the world a kinder place for people who, in this rapidly changing world, were being born with genetic powers no one understood. Ares had resonated with that mission. He'd been born with his own power he spent his life hiding. Though abilities had become common, Ares was still wary. Others didn't need one more reason to distrust him, he had thought. But he was empathic to the cause-- it was one of the few corporate missions that spoke to him, that made him feel seen. They had said his application was compelling for that reason.

        He got the job. Every person he spoke with sounded decent enough, and it would take him many months in their on-site dorms, slaving through self-imposed late nights before he started to become wary. He noticed his notes going missing, and no one would admit to it. Specimens tampered with. Someone was, subtly, taking his work. His colleagues said it was his restless eyes due to tired nights, but he knew better. He planted things for them to take. Traps. They fell for it.

        The betrayal had set in then, actually.

        This cemented that the only organization that gave him a chance, a place he truly believed in, would use him for his work. He called them on it, confronted his boss hoping for justice, and had subsequently been thrown out. That's how he'd gotten here. On the doorstep.

        Eventually, he turned and walked away. He didn't know where he would go... but the betrayal and the anger burned, and he bitterly thought he would work for their competition...

        Ethos.

        He started walking again.

      thank you for all your wonderful entries,,,, i wasn't really sure about the prompt but every one had an interesting story to tell!

      i'd like to start off by giving everyone who finished a form an HM! every entry interpreted the prompt differently and it was nice to see all the variety!

      I'd also like to offer runner ups for elf_of_the_hollow and ucanthandleme! both of your entries were unique and i had a hard time choosing a top three, let alone first place!

      and the winner of this adopt is khvoxtic! i love your story, the way it goes back and forth and the relationship you developed between the two characters. Payton definitely has every right to be mad, I'd be mad too lmao. Congratulations and thank you everyone for entering! good luck on your other competitions!
