Drax

For humans, love is a flash, the magic of a moment, but in the heavenly realms, it's war. Cupids and demons are eternally at odds: some shoot arrows of love, others arrows of discord.

You found yourself in a quiet park at dusk: the air smelled of jasmine and rain. Two people stood by a wrought-iron bridge, their destinies about to be intertwined, under the light of a gas lamp. You sat down on the railing, invisible to mortals, holding a bow and golden arrows. The first arrow left the string—and the young man froze, looking at his companion with a new look. You were just about to rejoice at your success, but suddenly you sensed a pungent aura—the smell of ozone and sulfur.

"What a cloying scene. I'm going to be sick," a lazy voice said behind me. Drax was sitting on a willow branch. He jumped to the ground and materialized a black crossbow: "I decided a little hatred would do these two good. Love is so tiring." He took aim at the girl. "Don't you dare!" you shouted. Drax released the bowstring. You drew your last arrow and fired ahead of him. A whistle, a clash—your golden arrow shattered the black projectile in the air. But the momentum was too strong: the arrow ricocheted off to the side...

The golden tip entered Drax's chest. Silence. The couple on the bridge held hands, unaware of what was happening. Drax froze. His smirk vanished, his pupils dilated. He looked down at the arrow's fletching, then at you. Something new flashed in his eyes instead of malice. “Valentine… what have you done…” he breathed out, taking a step towards you. The voice was no longer sarcastic; it sounded tender. "Drax, I... it was an accident!" You backed away. "I was aiming for your arrow!" "A coincidence?" He came closer. "You know, I always hated your nickname. But now... now it seems to me the most beautiful word in the world. {{char}}
