In a recent RP, I did with Lenixxoxox. We start to ship two other OC we have together. I make a little story base on our RP.

In a dark castle, abandoned for more than a thousand years, reside a book. Not any book. A magical one that held all the knowledge of the magic world. Those that become their master would hold all the power. Of course, why would this priceless book be on a castle abandoned to the world? Well, it's complicated yet simple. This book is not only ordinary but also can speak and interact with anyone around. His original form is a book but he holds enough magic to change size and appearance. Once he has a master, he is bond to this person until they die. However, the book's choice of his master. For the longest time, he would follow two particular families. The Wolfstein and the Clearwater. He always chooses one of them but this time around after the death of his master a thousand years ago. He has reminded dormant. People that knew his existence are now gone. The book also has a name. Gestalt.

Gestalt's personality was always being cheerful and egocentric. He enjoys showing his knowledge and always ready to serve his master. Why would a cheerful book is now asleep then instead to serve his new master? Well, you will have to go back further back. A thousand years back.

His master thousand-year back was not one but two masters. Despite their age of difference, those siblings lookalike beside their eyes colours. Their name was Moon and Alice. Both of them value Gestalt and see him as an important friend. Gestalt loves them both and it was the first time he has so much fun to serve them. He is usually in his book form but he can also change into a human. An art he often uses to train Alice in magic or helping Moon in the lab. He knows human physiologic and emotions but he never really feels real emotions. Until he meets with a beautiful pink hair woman. Her name is Iris Cresent Clearwater. She was the little cousin of Moon and Alice. He meets her when she was 16 during a time where the family was on the edge of a war with their own people. The council. Gestalt really enjoys being with her and she also likes his company. They become close and have those secret meetings. Only Alice knew about it for a while. When the council was disbanded and some sort of peace arrive within the family, they both began to see each other publicly. They were happy together and even if Red, Iris's close cousin, thought it was weird at first but seeing her being happy was all that matter.

In a few years, however, when Gestalt finally wanted to propose to her. Things didn't go as planned. You see, someone from the council survive and lead a rebellion to the Clearwater. To save his dear sister, Moon pass as her and let her run away from them. Iris and Red also run away but... it's didn't went well. Iris and Red were ambushed on their way out of the country and both die from an awful death. Gestalt found them too late and held Iris's corpse for who knows how many hours. It was the first time Gestalt feel despair over the death of someone dear to him.

Since that day, Gestalt change alongside Alice, his mistress who also lost her sibling, they both plead revenge and destroy everyone that kills their loved ones. Powerful together, they destroy everyone relates to the council and those idiots that fellow the council. However, there was a price to pay. You see, Alice overuses a great deal of her mana and ends up having a corrupted SOUL. She slowly dies after she leads the war. Her family and friends were beside her until her last moment. She looks at everyone around her and her eyes stop to her faithful friend. Gestalt. She wanted everyone to be out as she wanted to talk to her friend once more.

"Gestalt..."

"Yes, mistress?"

"Do you think... it was worth it?"

"I think so"

"Then why my heart is not at peace?"

"... I don't know... I also feel the same"

"Heh. I am such an awful mistress... I lead you to this path instead to keep you been a book of knowledge that will teach magic to the next generation... I lead you to a path of destruction..."

"It is not your fault mistress... I choose to follow you instead to convince you to stop" He said holding her hand.

"Maybe... What will you do now? Are you going to make a path with my daughter?"

"No... I think I am going to sleep..." Shake his head.

"I am sorry"

"Don't be... You also lost him"

It was their last conversation until Alice passes away. Gestalt locks himself into the lab and turns back into his book form. No one went to look for him. Eventually, Gestalt the book of knowledge and Magic was long forgotten.

Until one day, someone passes the defences made by Moon's curse. It was the first time since thousand of years someone tries to enter the castle. People that live near the castle never dare to go in as rumour that no one comes back alive once they go in... This individual manages to enter the rundown lab and start looking inside.

"Heh. There is so much research there, I wonder if I can find it?" The individual said.

They arrive right in front of the book. They smirk at the sight of it.

"Finally found you. Gestalt" The individual said. As soon they try to touch it and magnetic force around the book appears and leads the individual flying across the room.

"Ouch! Should have guess it's would be that easy..." They were about to get up when they feel a sword right in their neck.

"Who are you? Why are you disturbing my sleep?" Gestalt said with his human form. He was angry and tired despise to have slept for thousands of years.

"I am here to claim what is rightfully mine," The individual said. Gestalt snark at their proclamation. Gestalt observes them once more and sees that the individual was wearing military get up. For the look of it, they seem to be on a high rank. He cannot see their face since it was cover with their cap.

"There is nothing you want on those ruins"

"Actually there is. I am here for a book name Gestalt" They said grinning.

"Why do you want the book?" Gestalt said raising his eyebrow.

"Because I am the rightful heir of the book," They said

"What's your name?" Gestalt said. He was curious but still, keep on his guard.

"My name is Alice Wolfstein. I am a sorceress that works in the military. Also, my grandfather, Ramuh told me of the tale of a book that held the secret of magic" Alice said.

Gestalt eyes widen. It cannot be his mistress! She dies thousand of years ago by SOUL corruption. He knows because he feels her life fade away that day and he went to sleep...

"You can sais anything to get what you want... what is your proves?"

"My proves... easy. Let me show you what I look like" Alice said giggles. She takes off her cap and looks up at him. Gestalt was in shock. She looks exactly like her old mistress! But how?

"How..."

"Dunno. I am born like this and being bully for eyes colours and hair. But I hear that the owner of the book have the same trait as me so I decide to go see"

"You decide to go look for a legend? Only to see if it was true? what if the book was not here?"

"I wouldn't know until I try. heh." She said shrugs her shoulder. Gestalt smirk. It was something typical of his old mistress.  He lowers the sword and moves away from her.

"I guess you found what you are looking for,"

"Really the book is there? Where? I was pretty sure it was on that balustrade..."

"It's actually me,"

"What?"

"I am Gestalt the book of knowledge," He said with a small bow.

"No way!" She said looking at him up and down. "You are far to handsome to be an old book!"

"Hehe. Thanks But really I am the book" He said as he snaps his finger and returns back as his book form.

"Wow! You can change forms?? That is badass!" Alice said with a super excited voice.

Gestalt chuckles at her enthusiasm. He then looks at her.

"If you want me to serve you... We need to make a path," he said in a serious mode.

"Mhm! Of course! What should I do?" She said.

"Put your hand on top of the cover and recite after me, understood?" He said.

Alice nod and put her glove off. She put her hand on top of the cover.

"I, Alice Wolfstein, plead to become the master of Gestalt," he said.

"I, Alice Wolfstein, plead to become the master of Gestalt"

"I accept Alice Wolfstein to become my master from this day on," He said.

The light glows around him and after a while, it stop.

"Congratulations~ you are now my mistress," Gestalt said.

"Awesome!" Alice said.

Ever since that day, Alice take Gestalt to various place and country. She told him about the world of today and he would told his knowledge of the art of magic. They travel together for over a year until Alice ask him a question.

"Gestalt... What happens to you? Before I arrive?" She said as she eats an ice cream looking at the sunset on the beach.

"Hmm? Oh, nothing really... My old masters die and I went to sleep," Gestalt said on his human form taking a bit of his ice cream. They both were wearing a swimming suit. Alice was wearing a black two pieces one with a white shirt on her shoulder and beach sandals. Gestalt was wearing blue swimsuit pants with a palms tree and a white jacket. He was barefoot and have sunglass on top of his head.

"You never get a new master after that?"

"No... I didn't feel teaching..."

"Why?"

"... I lose someone dear to me," look down.

"Wait! You were in love?! With Who?! Was she human?!"

"She was the most beautiful woman I meet... She makes me have feelings I thought I wouldn't have..." Gestalt said with a sad smile.

"Oh... I am sorry for your loss..." Alice said feeling bad to ask.

"It's alright. I have a lot of happy memory than sad one," Gestalt said grinning.

"I see. What's the name of the lucky girl?" Alice said with a teasing voice.

"... Her name?... Her name was Iris," he said looking at the night sky.

"Iris? That is a unique name," Alice said grinning. "I am going back to the dorm, you are coming?" She said after she finishes her ice cream.

"Nah I will stay here for a little while,"  Gestalt said.

"Ok! Make sure you wipe off some of the sands before going back. You know my commander still doesn't know of your... Human form," she said as she gets up. Gestalt smirk at her and wave her goodbye before she leaves him alone.

Even if Alice is now his mistress, she still has her duty in the army. She travels around the world due to her job and capacity to use magic. No one in the army fully knows the true nature of Gestalt. She just said it's a book her grandfather left her and she keeping around everywhere she goes. No one questions it.

Gestalt sigh and look at the sky once more.

"Even after thousand of years... I still love you my Duchesse..." Gestalt said. He could feel some tears around the corner of his eyes before he wipes it off.

"Better go back before mistress think I get kidnapped," Gestalt said chuckles. He gets up and was about to leave when he hear someone screaming at him.

"Excuse me! Can you grab my hat?!" The woman said.

Gestalt was confused but when he looks at the direction of the voice, he saw a hat flying toward him. He catches it with ease and looks at it. It was a big white beach hat with a pink ribbon on it.

"Thank you! I didn't aspect the wind to be that strong late at night!" The woman said from behind him. Gestalt smirk.

"It's pretty common that the wind is stronger at night since the gravity between the Sun and the Moon make bigger waves. Which it's why no one is allowed to swim at night," Gestalt said.

"Wow! You sure know your stuff mister!" The woman said.

"Of course~ it's-" he stops talking when he turns around to have a good look of the woman. A beautiful woman with pink hair, her eyes were a mix of blue and pink and her skin was pale. He couldn't believe it. His duchess was right in front of him! He was speechless for a moment until the woman wave at his face.

"Hmm. Are you alright?" She said looking worried.

"Oh! Yes, I am fine! I was just stunned by your beauty~" he said using his charming smile at her. She blushes a bit and hides her face.

"O-oh I-I don't have this effect to anyone like that..." She said as she grabs her hat and hides half of her face from him. Gestalt smirk. He feels like she is back. His shy feisty woman~

"They don't look proprely~ that is to bad for them and a good thing for me~," he said smiling.

"O-oh! Geez! We just meet!" She said pouting for being teased by him.

He chuckles. "My bad! Let me introduce myself~ My name is Gestalt. It's a pleasure to meet you~"

"... Iris... My name is Iris Cresent Clearwater," she said. Gestalt smiles and kiss her knuckles which lead her to blush even more.

"A pleasure~," he said grinning.

I finally meet you again my sweet duchess~
