Description:
an idea just popped into my head and im writing a thing for it, but what if the mark turned you into this eldritch monstrosity
the longer you have the mark, the more control you have over your body so you can hide your 'true form', but it's uncomfortable to stay kept together in skin that isn't you
so daud has his fake form down to an art, granny rags doesn't care anymore about letting some of the true form bleed into her fake one, corvo's practically bursting at the seams
When he faces Daud, leather wings spread miles above him to give him extra balance perched up on the roof, he only has one question for the man.
“How do you hide this?” His voice echoes, rattling the windows and causing a building to crumble in the distance.
His skin feels tighter the longer he’s been hiding his new form, until it’s suffocating. His flight to Rudshore is the first time he’s let his wings out in weeks, and he practically sobs in relief.
“Time,” Daud replies, his own skin bleeding away to show the man’s true form. His voice sounds like it’s coming from the bottom of a well, echoing and bouncing against itself until it’s all Corvo can hear. “And practice.”
Their claws clash, and Rudshore trembles.
Daud first notices the changes a month after he receives the mark. A ghost-sensation of his jaw elongating. When he looks in the mirror, there’s nothing different, but when he puts his hand to his chin, it extends past the end of his nose, coming to a point almost two feet in front of his face. He tries to sketch what he feels one day, but when he sees it’s a wolf’s skull in place of his face, he crumbles the paper and burns it. His eyes feel like they’re on fire, and it never fades.
The wolf skull he could feel but not see is suddenly visible in the mirror, fangs dripping blank ink and blood, seven eye sockets alight with a blue flame. Because he is young, he tries to bark, and the sound shatters the windows of the entire street.
