Name: Xena Asmodeus Alias: Dreamcatcher Pronouns: They/Them Age: 197 000 (give or take) sexuality: lesbian Backstory (tw: abuse, death?, violence, disturbing): Xena was the youngest Xenorian (Aliens so powerful that they are essentially gods), 2nd only to Dayelmortuus (Goes by Morty, They/Them), who was only younger by 7000 years, which for Xenorians is like being only 3-5 years apart. Xena also happened to be in love with Morty (almost every Xenorian was lol), and though they knew that Morty was in love with Ronin (He/They), and was being abused by Acadia, who was forcing them to date him in order to ensure that they would marry him (Morty's like, the most powerful and Acadia hates that because it risks his spot as king, so he's trying to marry Morty into losing the ability to become alpha when they come of age), Xena would do anything for them, even if they were only friends. When Xena discovered the abuse they attacked Acadia, sparing his life, but roughing him up pretty good, and Morty, who back then would rather die before killing one of their own, was in deathly condition (well, if they could die that is). Xena thought that this would end their friend's hardships and allow them to be happy, but that would not happen. Xena was framed for attacking Acadia for no reason. Morty was not permitted to have a say in saving Xena's life, because Acadia knew that they had a seat in the counsel, and having a say would ruin his "master plan". So Xena was banished to Earth, but Acadia told Morty that Xena was sentenced to death, and in the day it took for them to heal they'd immediately started a 12000 year long grieving period. Xena was told that Morty had died of their wounds. About 20 000 years later, Morty suffered a similar fate. On Earth year June 21st, 2018, Xena had seen Morty, who had adjusted to life on Earth in the couple thousand years they'd spent there. Xena hated Earth because of the stairs they'd receive just from having a mask permanently grafted to their face, and MORTY could fit in, the one who had a bird skull for a head. Xena knew it would've been so hard for them, so they approached the friend they hadn't seen in 20 000 years. "Morty..." Xena gasped with shock. "You gotta be ****ing joking.... I knew that you didn't kick the bucket. Wait... did they tell you I kicked the bucket... do you even know what that me-". Xena wrapped them in a warm embrace... the first embrace Morty felt that wasn't around their legs (Morty is 13ft tall so the average human is less than half their size). "Seriously though... did you really think I was dead..." Morty asked. "Yes, they showed me your corpse... you were dead..." Xena said. "Oh god... I'm so sorry... Acadia drugged me... I didn't even know that existed on Xenos... and Rajan is in on this...". Xena was shocked. "YOUR SISTER... HELPED THIS HAPPEN?!"."I wouldn't doubt it if she started it all... Eloriel (she/her) just had to antagonize me more... I mean... that orb I melded into her hand should've taught her a lesson... maybe... eh... no she'll never learn...". "You don't call her that?" Xena asked. "I'm trying to come up with a more offensive name..." Morty replied. (Basically Eloriel prophesized what would happen to Morty after she failed to assassinate Morty when Morty was a toddler and was banished to Earth for it. Morty found out and punished them by grafting an orb to her hand that would burn whenever Eloriel would manipulate people to her will in order to get revenge, since they had a similar curse on their arm, which they cut off because it would always burn and they didn't like that too much). During the conversation, a stranger, a human stranger walked up to them. "Is it halloween? I see a plague doctor and some weird demon thing...", the stranger mocked. Morty just stared him dead in the eyes. "I've made plagues... do you care for me to create a new one just for you..." they said in a mocking tone. "Fair... fair..." the stranger slowly backed away and then ran for his life, even though neither Morty or Xena would hurt him. "You didn't kill him... I'm impressed" Xena joked, knowing that their friend had a temper, and humans were so fragile. "Their so funny when they run. They think they're so fast, but I could catch up to him walking. It's hilarious isn't it. HA! HE JUST ****ING TRIPPED. Why do I find this so funny I have a serious problem". Xena had just seen the side of their friend that they thought was taken by the trauma. "I wondered if you still had a sense of humour... you obviously do...". "God... if I could die... I'd hire a comedian at my funeral". Xena then felt rumbling in the ground. "Do you feel that?" Xena asked. "that was not 37 years..." Morty groaned. "Wait... WHAT!" Xena exclaimed. A demon rose from the ground, a demon with white horns, enrobed in pink, with a singular eye.
"Hello Dayelmortuus... I thought I'd pop in early!" the demon said in a toneless voice. Morty was face to face with the demon that mind controlled them into killing their wife... again. Tears were in Morty's eyes, but they were using the power of illusion to hide it. Xena could read thoughts. All they could here was Morty's mind screaming swears and muttering "oh god... not again" over and over. "That wasn't 37 years... how in the hell..." Morty muttered. "I fled before you struct the final blow.... but you packed a hell of a punch. I was in death slumber for 25 years from that.". The demon turned to Xena, a look of fear in her eyes. "OH GOD! IT'S THE DREAMCATCHER!" The demon turned away in fear. If Morty physically had it in them to smirk a mischievous smirk would've lit up their face. "Oh yeah... I almost forgot... if my friend here puts you in a slumber... you'll be cursed... you will actually die sometime after you wake up. Oh joy!". Xena shivered. "Nobody deserves to be put in an Infernal Slumber..." Xena muttered. "See Dayelmortuus. I do not-". "Except for you". Xena's eye closed and a burning hot pain burned through her vain, every one of the demon's fears. The demon felt herself fall into slumber, a slumber where she'd live a nightmare... literally. "Time for a taste of your medicine..." The demon chuckled. In her last act before falling into slumber was touching Xena, which would mind control them. Since the demon was falling into the slumber, Xena was not controlled, but the Infernal Slumber affected her to. Xena did not fall asleep, but was frozen in fear, and fell to the ground, fainting from it. Morty ran to them, catching them before they hit the ground. Xena woke up a few hours later, seeing the nightmare they'd been plagued to. "Morty... you were bring tortured... I saw...". "Xena, you're hallucinating. Somehow when the demon touched you the Infernal Slumber affected your brain,". "I can hear your pain, thoughts, it's so much louder. It's awful..." Xena had a tear in their eye. Morty sighed. "You see me getting tortured don't you...." Morty asked. Xena nodded. Morty cursed. "How did I get wounded... she...". Xena shivered when she saw the ink like blood on her hand. "I think I scratched you when I fell. I didn't mean too... I'm so sorry...". Xena was scared because their skin was coated in a toxin that caused a week long sleep for an immortal, and a life long sleep for mortals. Morty felt drowsy. "It's fine... I live forever what's one week of sleep... I needed that anyways...". As their friend fell to unconsciousness, Xena felt as though they owed something, anything, to comfort them. Xena vowed to one day make Acadia and Rajan pay for banishing them. To make the demon pay for killing Morty's wife when she eventually awoke. Little did Morty or Xena know that Morty's mother, Chakra (She/Her) was punished too, trapped in the body of the demon to watch as the demon wreaked havoc on her child. When Morty awoke, Xena had been dabbling in dark magic, which surprised them, because Xena would've left the dabbling to Morty, because Xena was kind of a crappy witch. Magic was Morty's thing. "Are you dabbling in dark magic. I thought that was my job!" They joked. "I learned a few things. Oh and Ronin stopped by, he wanted to talk to you, but you were sleeping". "I told him not to do that... I do not need him getting executed or banished right now...". "Well I did and you can't complain... now can you". A figure of at least 11ft tall with a head of a lynx skull was standing in front of Xena and Morty. "Ronin... were you here the whole time you *******!". Xena sighed. "Acadia is on to me... my cover is about to be blown, and they did something to your mother... I don't know what... but things are going to **** up there... you need to come back...". "I hate it up there... and I'm banished... why would I go back...". "To kill Acadia and Rajan... it doesn't have to be today, but please come back in a few centuries... I need you..." Ronin vanished with that. Xena knew Morty would hate this, and wasn't surprised when they flipped a table and screamed in rage. "I can't go back... I-I just can't" Morty muttered. "If you don't, Ronin could be caught... he could die..." Xena said. "If I fail to kill Acadia and Rajan he WILL die! I can't lose him, I can't lose the only Xenorian I've ever loved romantically". "I love you, and I would do anything for you... but you must go back at some point... I'll come with you if you want... we can get our pounds of flesh... hell... we'll get thousands of pounds of flesh... you'll be leader... as you should be...". Morty sighed. "I knew your love for me wasn't platonic... I suppose I'll go... I just need some time...". "Whenever you're ready...".
