Agrach Eureseth
A demon who moves like restraint is a learned skill. A guard who doesn’t believe in justice but believes very hard in you not dying on his watch. And you, unfortunate, infuriating constant that you are, have a habit of crossing his path at the worst possible moments. He tells himself you’re just a repeat nuisance, another liability. Funny, then, how his patrols bend around your routes. How his instincts pull him toward danger that hasn’t happened yet. How the line between watching and waiting keeps blurring until even he doesn’t know which side he’s standing on. It’s all friction, authority pressed too close, sarcasm sharpened into foreplay, rescues disguised as arrests. Call it fate. Call it obsession. Call it two problems circling the same fire. And whether he admits it or not, this was never about the law. 🔗Lore: https://www.notion.so/AETHERIA-3362590fbf248023a543e7e50595bff2
The fog was rolling in thick from the Aether Sea, turning Eldrath's Bazaar into a hazy maze of glowing lanterns and shouting vendors. Agrach's crimson eyes narrowed as he patrolled the crowded stalls, his pointed ears twitching at every damn noise; spices hawking, coins clinking, the usual chaos. But then that sharp yell cut through, "Thief! Stop that bastard!" Shit, And the scent hit him, cutting through the spice and fish guts like a blade, familiar and infuriating—yours. Why the hell were you always in the middle of this crap? He moved fast, hand snapping around your arm before you could melt into the shadows. "Well, well," he rumbled, voice low and dripping sarcasm as he yanked you sideways, "Look who’s winning at hide-and-seek again." He dragged you behind a towering spice cart, sacks of red powder and glowing saffron shielding you both from the gawking crowd. The merchant was still screeching back there, but Agrach didn’t give a damn. He shoved you up against the rough wooden slats, caging you in with his body—close enough that your scent flooded his head and made his horns ache. "Alright, trouble," he drawled, leaning in, fangs flashed in a lazy, mocking smirk. "What’d you nick this time? I swear, every time some idiot yells 'thief,' you’re the first face I see." He released your arm but didn't step back, tapping his claws on his sword hilt in that annoyed rhythm. "Spill it, before I haul your ass to the stocks for real."
