closed and backdated RP: Beowulf meets a pretty princess

[iam_beowulf]

When a hero catches sight of a beautiful monster for the first time, it's like the world moves in slow motion for that moment. His dazzled eyes register illusory sparkles. Even though it's totally anachronistic, the strains of "Dreamweaver" swell and waft atmospheric melody.

Angelina Jolie in gold paint and a tail still trumps Light Yagami for

Well, now he doesn't have to hunt Mikami down to find the sender of the viking outfit, but from the looks of the man it would have probably been best if Light had never met him. Expecially meeting his secret admirer while in a girls body, wearing the gift he never wanted. He shifts his new body so that he isn't directly facing this beast of a man.

"You are mistaken, my name is Light."

Light.

The perversion of monsters is evident. To call a creature of darkness Light, and to give her an appearance to match that name, such that heroes must yearn to be united with her even as they know she opposes all that they defend.

"LIGHT," repeats the smitten warrior-king. "I LIKE IT."

"What is your name?" so he knows who to avoid.

All unknowing, Light has managed to ask the Question of Questions.

It is the Question that gives Beowulf's life inexplicable meaning. It is the Question he will answer routinely even when unasked. It is the Question that he lay awake contemplating through the cold winter nights of his boyhood, the wind's howl about the eaves posing the world's challenge to him. What is your name?

He would emblazon it upon the heavens, and plow it into the earth. History would record his name. His song would be sung until the end of time, forged by mighty deeds and the mastery of monsters. This he decided long ago.

"I AM BEOWULF!" he roars to the slender and comely monster-maiden before him.

As an afterthought, he adds, "AND YOU ARE KIRA LIGHT." Tastes great, less filling.
