Re: Starting an alternate circle: beginnings

Eden felt Damon starting to grow heavy to slide down holding
him. His panic slowly ebbed away, before feeling his back rubbed
and when he started to drift turned to see Eden’s face.”didn’t …
mean it..” he said before his voice faded into sleep. Orpheus
quickly got over.”I’m so sorry young lady.. are you hurt?” He
asked as Eden looked at the elf.”I’m okay.. his body just had a
scary dream.” She said quietly. Orpheus made a small o at the
girls explanation.
Thanks to the extra commotion, Heiwa made her way to snows side-
rather perplexed at the boy as her eyes took him in some. She
noted similarities but, it didn’t quite register. It wasn’t till
the
king of the sands came out ready to admonish his son believing
the commotion could have had it been him to blink.”seems you
have a lot on your plate.” He told the king as Jalal translated
it wheeling around.
His eyes caught Eden as the elf got the child off to apologize
more.”I’m so sorry- he has had episodes ever since the attack in
the Fae kingdom. It was getting better- or I thought so- he use
to see similar young girls that remind him of his twin- red hair
mostly, never hurts them.. but always seems to try to run off
with them.”He said as he put the young boy in the arms of his
lover. As he turned back around Jalal entered the hall to see
Damon in the other elf’s arms. The king would see an immediate
change in the man’s body language as he would walk over and past
Orpheus.
Once he saw the dark-haired elf, he put his hand out to brush
the hair out of Damon’s face and his mouth frowned.”where is the
father of this one.” Came out.
Orpheus felt inward panic to take a minute and breathed.”
W..well we are here to talk about him- his father is in one of
the castle rooms attending the fae queen.” Explained Orpheus not
wanting to explain it out in the open.
“Shouldn’t the father be here when his son has these issues?”
Jalal asked as he turned. Orpheus then stood a bit squarely- it
seemed whoever this was forcing his hand a little.
“I rather not bring that man into this yet. His father is no
father- having not even the audacity to find the body of one
child he lost-but to only abuse the other! I know this kingdom
helps kids that are displaced and or in danger! This one falls
under the category as he will never heal with that man around.”
Orpheus said. “I was hoping when your highness and the fae queen
were together- would make it an easier case to not only remove
the boy from such an environment- but also to protect him by
staying here.”
During the talk- Eden now freed from her twin's body had moved
toward Snow to take his hand. Her feelings were mixed. Heiwa
seeing this gave a gentle look despite feeling a smidge jealous
at how easily the girl took his hand. Maybe if she had been more
confident - things could have been different or so the girl
thought.
Eden saw how Damon was- and those expressions when they spoke.
She was quiet as she listened a little to the talk-when Adan
opened his mouth- he’d feel her finger over his as if listening
to herself. Her head moved left and right.
She clung to snows hand and kind of dragged him next to Jalal
and immediately tugged on Jalal’s hand as some of the adults
were talking and he bent down to hear her whisper low. “Help
him.. he made strange faces and called me Ayla.. he’s not the
same as he was when we saw him last...maybe we can take him in”
Jalal’s relaxed shoulders went up.”are you sure?” He asked as
she looked at the sleeping Damon being taken back into a room.
Eden nodded firmly after tilting her head left and right as if
making a solid decision. While she did feel an unease -
something told her deep down- that he was the twin that wouldn’t
have abandoned her.
Jalal straightened up as he saw her walk off and take Adan’s
hand. Next.”come on- we should go to the garden!” Said Eden as
brightly as she could despite how she was feeling. That and she
knew things would work out with her master around.
By then the big burly man, Khali and Malik had arrived. Sahim
took note of what was going on.”is it okay if this one
apologizes?” He asked as Jalal simply nodded.
The group of children was ushered into the garden with Sahim and
Khali there. Solis having stayed there folded his arms some.
Malik made a bow, ”I apologize. It wasn’t okay to take your
mask.. I will respect you and your space..” He noted Snow looked
kind of angry, and that Eden was holding both boys' hands to
feel a streak of jealousy.
Heiwa feeling the tension broke it.”hey how about we get snacks
and tea?” She asked a little. Eden seemed to not mind the idea.
Malik on the other hand, was dragged off with Sahim after
hearing about making him practice at the grounds that Khali was
going to show him groaning the whole time before looking back at
the retreating backs of the group that was with Solis.
The king of sand who saw this bowed some.”since our agreement is
settled and the situation of my son is being taken care of- I’ll
take my leave as it seems you have some …problems to deal with.
Thank you again for your help.. I shall leave by the second sun
to make the arrangements.”He said as he left with his remaining
guard.
Orpheus almost jumped out of his own skin when Caltharas asked
him to join them in the office given the sensitivity of things
and walked in with Jalal trailing behind. He sat down in a chair
as the man took one himself and heard the next question from the
emperor himself.
About the attack.”the boy was on a routine route he did with his
mother most mornings.. normally a safe one at that. We found the
boy in the middle of many that had died.. he surprisingly still
clung to life despite the knife used on him.” Explained Orpheus.
“the boy had lost his mother in the mess and we offered our
services as we did feel a presence that left the child. Come to
find out when he came to he believed himself to be 10, and
wanted to find Ayla his twin. “ he explained as Jalal’s body
language seem to shift.
He did feel that the boy was different from being close- and let
off a ripple to feel another back and tilted his head some. Then
he spoke.”Damon was very different when I was there.” Orpheus
heard as he turned his head.”you know of him?” He asked as he
saw Ryvel. A guard of the emperor’s own kingdom had taken watch
for the man so he could join the talk.
Jalal straightened up.”.yes the last we saw of him was when I
spoke to the boy's father about his twin- the girl I found
abandoned in the desert.” Orpheus's eyes went wide.”o..oh! Then
can I ask- is there anything that happened? The last he said
anything to us was trying to make up for saying he didn’t want
his sister to exist with some creatures, then for him everything
went dark after touching a Sceptre in the desert
kingdom.”Orpheus said as Jalal made a rather serious look.
“Ayla- now Eden was hit in the head hard enough to black out- it
was apparent when she told me she woke up with her head
throbbing at first.- I came to believe the boy did that just
didn’t know if it was a power struggle- come to find out given
the father- that wouldn’t be the case as the boy- being male
would of automatically inherited the Anubis” Jalal answered
Orpheus felt his heart sink in his stomach. Maybe they won’t be
able to gain asylum from knowing this now. The elf seemed to
deflate some before Jalal continued to speak.
”but Eden did see how he was and if the Emperor allows it so- I
can bring him into our home. “ said Jalal.”Eden made it clear it
was okay to help, if he is as you say- then he’s best to be with
something that gives him stability.” Finished Jalal.
The elf blinked and seemed to think about it.”I wouldn’t mind
it- but the boy is still in therapy- I’m still willing to help
even without pay, and can do more if I’m allowed to stay for a
time as well. I mostly teach reading and writing, but I can
offer my own service of therapy as well.” Said the man rather
hopefully.
[hr]
Eden walked down the hall a bit quietly, taking in the talking
of the other rooms- to pass by one that was open. Her head
turned to see her biological father with two others attending
the fae queen. She tightened her hands with the boys and
continued to walk with them.
She focused instead on Heiwa talking about some cookies that
were freshly made as they managed to turn the corner. The noise
faded as they walked down another long hall, passing busy
servants and more to enter a room to sit. One that was pulled by
Heiwa arrived with some cups, tea, and several cookies. Solis
leaned against the doorway taking in the kids and how they all
were being. He knew today was a lot and couldn’t wait for things
to calm down.
“You should have tea too!” Said Heiwa as she went over and
grabbed his hand to make him sit and gave him a cup.
Eden reached to grab a chocolate chip cookie to nibble some.”
you okay wild child?” She heard to lift her head.”y..yeah.” Eden
answered.”just a little mixed up today.” Heiwa who chose to sit
by the girl on one chair had a feeling to gently touch the
girl's hand. “My name is Heiwa.. I wouldn’t mind being friends
so .. don’t hold back if you need to say something.” She said to
the red-headed masked girl.
Eden looked at her and finally said it.”Damon is my twin... I
know I look different but he is.” Eden said quietly. She looked
at Adan.” He spoke my dead name but..it wasn’t on purpose.. “
Solis sat up some, he was filled in on what happened and made a
deep sigh.
[hr]
Arnar felt the arms before the face in his shoulder to let off a
breath.”missed you too..” he said chuckling. He let go of the
book as the man told him that he wanted to ask a question of him
to blink.”well ask away..” he said smiling. He felt the man was
being quite serious as he leaned forward a bit to the man to
press his head against Katsu’s

---------------------------------------------------------
At the moment Arnar turned and replied, an idea began to form in
Katsu's mind. He smiled back and stole a kiss when his lover
pressed closer.
"I want to do something special for you. Tonight, when the stars
are out. Meet me on the roof of the west wing of the castle.
Dress warmly, it's going to be a bit..rainy." Katsu said with a
wink.
Just as he'd been struck with inspiration, Arnar would be struck
with amazement when Katsu wrote his proposal in the air with
lightning. He'd done initials before..mostly by accident but
knew he could do more. "We may be up there for a while, so bring
some hot tea too," He added.
After that Katsu told Arnar what had happened and what he'd said
to the King of Sands. "So..don't be surprised if something
happens to me. I more than likely angered the man,"
The sound of flapping wings had both men glance up to see
Caltharas' owl flying into the room and watched as it landed on
the cart in front of them. In the owl's beak was an
official-looking letter from the Emperor.
Katsu took the letter out and opened it, reading it over
carefully. He had a bit of a surprised look on his face as he
looked up at Arnar. "Well..looks like I'm not in trouble. Your
brother backed me, and the King of Sands is dealing with his
son's actions. I guess I was wrong in thinking I'd end up buried
somewhere, Well..what would you like for dinner? I feel like
cooking," He said, suddenly feeling like spoiling Arnar a bit
more.
He glanced at the cart that Arnar had been filling. "If you're
almost done..maybe we could have some fun in this dusty old
library," He added with a glow in his eyes and ran a hand down
his lover's back.
[hr]
Due to his injured throat, Ryvel was unable to converse with the
others gathered around his and Orpheus' charge. Once the boy had
fallen asleep, he put his flute away, and swayed slightly,
leaning back on the wall. The magic of his music often pulled a
lot out of him. He listened to what was being said, his eyes
glowing a bit when he heard Eden speaking up for Damon.
Taking in everything around him, Ryvel made a sign to Orpheus to
let him hold Damon. He held the boy close, he used an unspoken
healing spell, working on the boy's still mind. It was tricky
work and was taking a great deal longer than normal due to the
trauma the boy had experienced.
His eyes lifted when he sensed the Master Tuner and a wave of
relief went through him when the man approached, brushing the
hair out of the boy's face. He reached up slightly to touch the
bandage on his throat, indicating he couldn't speak, and waited
for Orpheus to answer.
Ryvel wasn't surprised by the man's questions and shot a pointed
look at Orpheus. This was when they'd find out what these people
would do to help the poor boy. Their rescuing the young boy was
supposed to have been a quick job, but it was quickly becoming a
full-time job. Maybe..this one would take over Damon's care?
Gods..he hoped so. Not that Orpheus would leave anytime soon.
His lover was infuriatingly too involved with the human race. At
least..Ryvel thought so. He was more the type to help from afar
than to get personally involved and live among them.
His sharp ears pricked when he heard the young girl whisper to
Jalal. Well..this might help. He was more than a little
impressed that a young child was so ready to forgive the boy for
what had happened. Even though it hadn't been Damons' fault;
most wouldn't want to help another that had harmed them.
He let out a sigh when Orpheus made a sign to put Damon back in
the room on the settee and keep an eye on him. Fine, but send
someone to relieve me. I need a break and I want to be there
when you speak to the king Ryvel signed back rather quickly. He
was still annoyed about being unable to speak. This healing was
taking far too long for his liking. He slipped away with Damon
and settled him on the cushioned settee and covered the boy with
his cloak and closed the door quietly.
It was a short while later when one of the Emperor's guards came
to relieve him, and looked a bit unsure when Ryvel signed to him
using his hands. Ryvel let out a sighing sound and found a quill
and paper and wrote it out in big letters. You leave him before
I get back, you'll wish you'd never been born!
The guard's eyes got huge at the words and nodded quickly. "I-I
won't leave his side, I swear on my life!" He promised.
Ryvel gave the man a satisfied smirk and went to join Orpheus in
the Emperor's office. just in time for Jalal to ask him what he
knew of Damon. I could sense another..a fractured part of a soul
inside Damon. He signed back, going slower in case the Master
Tuner wasn't as adept in the skill.
Ryvel's stopped moving, his eyebrows furrowing when Jalal spoke
of Damon's father and his twin, the girl that they'd just
encountered. He could sense his lover's sinking spirits as more
of Damon's past came out. He reached out to put a reassuring
hand on Orpheus' arm.
Ryvel was quite pleased by the offer from Jalal to take on
Damon, and his spirits lifted a bit..only to drop when Orpheus
insisted on staying. His hand squeezed his lover's arm a bit. He
finally sighed and moved away, peering out on the garden below.
Well..at least he'd have a place to disappear to when he needed
a moment to himself.
It wasn't that he didn't want to help Damon. It was that the
magically induced damage to his throat would take much longer to
heal on its own than if he was helped by Elven magic. He'd
already been without his voice for more than a month now..and it
seemed that Orpheus was more concerned with the child than him.
Yes..he was jealous of the young boy, and the attention he got
from his lover. After almost a hundred years together; he still
got insanely jealous.
[hr]
Adan was in awe when the dark-haired elf used his fingers to
speak to the other one. "What was that? Snow..have you seen
anyone do that before?" He asked tugging on the older teen's
arm.
Snow bit back the chuckle that threatened to come out when he
saw the look on Adan's face. "I think..its a sort of sign
language. There are a few different ones that other races use.
It looks a bit similar to the signs the Ravagers use when they
need to be quiet,"
Adan got a rather determined look on his face. "I've got to
learn it,"
Their attention shifted to the conversation going on between the
blonde elf and Jalal. It sounded like Damon had been through a
very traumatic experience..and hadn't been in control of himself
when Eden had been hurt. The two exchanged looks at this. Adan
couldn't help but feel like maybe..everyone had jumped too
quickly to place the blame on Damon.
Snow gave Eden a comforting look, squeezing her hand gently when
she took it. "It'll be okay. Don't worry. They'll figure things
out,"
He didn't notice that Heiwa had noticed this. He was too focused
on trying to help Eden. He too felt empathy for her brother. He
kind of did know partly what the other boy was going through.
There were a few things that Jalal and the blond elf spoke about
that Adan wanted to interject on..but Eden was there with her
finger pressed to his lips. He sighed and went quiet, realizing
that the adults had forgotten they were there listening.
Adan's eyes once again went to the dark-haired elf signing,
wishing that he knew what he was saying. This new finger
language intrigued him and he couldn't help but wish he could
learn it.
Snow didn't try to top Eden when she practically dragged him
over to Jalal and tugged on the man's hand. Since he was close,
he could hear some of her words. and his eyebrows shot up in
surprise when she suggested that Jalal take her brother in. He
felt a surge of pride go through him for her choosing to forgive
Damon and even wanting to help him.
Then she was moving again and grabbing Adan's hand, insisting
they head to the garden. Snow had the sense that she was trying
to hide some of her feelings about this whole thing.
They all glanced up when a rather deep voice spoke. Snow shot a
very unfriendly look at Prince Malik and tightened his hand a
bit more. He and Adan kept hold of Eden's hand as they were
ushered into the garden for the little brat to say his apology.
He held back a snort, his eyes not softening in the slightest
when the Prince made a rather lame apology.
"Thank god that's over with," Adan breathed out in relief when
Prince Malik was escorted away, and then glanced up at Heiwa
blinking a bit. "Sure..that sounds good." He did recall Snow
having introduced them right before all the craziness had
happened.
Snow gave Heiwa a grateful smile for the change of subject and
was sure a change of scenery would help them all relax some
more. While she headed off ahead of them; Snow waited a few
moments before leading Adan and Eden to the private room they'd
be using. It seemed that he might just be getting out of the
last couple of meetings with potential matches, and that was
just fine with him.
It was a nice surprise to find Solis waiting there and they
talked for a bit while waiting for Heiwa to arrive.
"So...no Zan today?" Snow asked, and let out a chuckle when
Heiwa moved to pull Solis into the tea party.
He watched out of the corner of his eye how his friend spoke to
Eden, and was showing her kind heart. Snow hoped that Heiwa
would find someone to love her for the amazing lady she was
going to be. There was no doubt in his mind that she'd one day
be a great ruler.
Once Solis had been filled in on what had happened, Snow
couldn't help but poke Solis in the side discretely so the
others didn't see. "So..just how serious are you and Zan?" He
said in a quieter tone, seeing that the others were distracted
getting to know Heiwa.

Arnar felt the kiss and blinked.”.special? Oh?” He asked as he
listened to Katsu more. ”Warm got it.. think I know what will
work.” He said as he now felt curious and excited.
“Mm I know a good one we can try- it’s a new one.. has the taste
of berry in it a little.” Said Arnar brightly.
Arnar listened intently and made a serious look.”Ha if he tries
the man will know my warrior's side really quick.” He said
darkly. While he appeared to be a feeble politician- the man had
a history of fighting.
It was then he saw the owl come in and the man breathed a sigh
of relief. ”Good thing the king is a responsible parent-“ he
said turning back and checking some books to place them on the
cart that rolled just a little.
He heard the man and smirked a bit. Arnar went in for a few
kisses. ”Daring aren’t you... we might get caught.” Said Arnar
with a blush as his hands ran over Katsu’s form.
[hr]
Jalal noted how the elf Ryvel signed. “Fractured soul?” He
inquired at Ryvel. He couldn’t help but get close to the elf.
It was clear the man could hear, and he noticed the bandage.
”injury..” he mumbled.
He walked over to the man. He brushed against the green stone
that was his belt before lightly touching Ryvel's neck. He
assessed the man’s condition this way and sighed.
”Such a deep injury.. in turn for your help with Damon... I can
help this one speak again. It may take a few sessions though “
He said with a soft tone.
Orpheus froze.”so.. you can help..” he asked. While he knew
Ryvel didn’t like him getting mixed in with the mortals the elf
couldn’t help it. He had a dear friend that was a mortal that
had taught him things when he was a mere child. He’d make it up
to the man, once they found space to stay.
[hr]
Solis chuckled. ”You'll probably see him tomorrow- unless he
takes my invite to come to help me make him dinner later,” he
told Snow.
The man sent a note out earlier that morning about having
things to do; but would love it if he came as an extra set of
hands to help out with things given the number of dignitaries
that had arrived.
“I don’t know if it’s just me though- kinda surprised though-no
one from the icy region has come- maybe we are a little too warm
for them.” He joked.
It was when Snow asked about how serious Solis was about Zan
that he seemed smitten on his face.”He’s a great guy.. don’t
wanna mess it up.” He told the boy. ”Inga already told me to
snatch him up- he’s that rare Snow.. sometimes with some people
you realize just how you feel deep down how you are with them.
Makes you feel free and accepted no matter what.” He replied
softly.
A few conversations continued with the others, Eden had relaxed
as she was talking about one thing that seemed to get her to not
be so stiff; tuning. ”Yeah, I did an air walk and managed to
get it down for the performance making it an air dance!” Said
Eden enthusiastically. ”it felt cool going out and about the
crowds.”
Heiwa seemed thrilled and couldn’t help but understand why Snow
felt attached to the young girl. “It was quite the sight.. and
your outfit was cute too!” The girl said rather looking smitten
with that one. ”where did you get it? I want one like it.” Heiwa
asked as Solis answered the girl.
” From my own homeland- it’s a mix between the desert and jungle
quite a ways from here.. “ Heiwa seemed fixated a little. ”ooh
I’m going to have to find someone to make one for me.”
She then turned to Adan. ”I heard you're really good with
languages.” Heiwa smiled softly. ” and read a lot- is there
anything in particular you like?” She asked as she went to grab
her small cup, noticing her’s was gone to reach for the teapot.
She filled hers, then notice Adan’s was empty to fill his.
During their cheerful chatter- a voice that sounded down their
hall, wafted down.”Orpheus… Ryvel?” Lucius the tall man dressed
in his Anubi gear walked a bit more to stop at an open door to
see red at first.
”Damon there you..” he started as Eden looked up. Heiwa noticed
how Eden stiffened. Her cup almost dropped in her lap startled
at coming face to face with the man. A rather old gentleman came
up behind the father to tap his shoulder as he moved.
[hr]

[/spoiler]
Solis who sat stunned immediately jumped up. ”Yo gramps!” He
said and snagged Eden who got startled.
”This is our gramps. Ezekiel, “ he told the girl as Lucius gave
a rather small bow excusing himself to start walking faster
back. If that child was here it meant that tuner was here!
He saw the queen coming out and took her hand as they headed
back- a bit miffed that he hadn’t found his child. It was then
he saw the tuner- carrying Damon to a proper room with Ryvel and
Orpheus in tow.
Orpheus seeing the man made a small serious face and kissed
Ryvel’s cheek before heading back into the man’s office.
There he told the Fae Queen about Damon, and his wish to strip
Lucius of his parental rights. It was met with the man being
angry- he never yelled or threw a fit. All he did was try to
make his case be shut down.
The Queen instructed the man to wait in her quarters for a later
much more personal talk and to not engage Damon in any way. He
bowed and walked with one of Aurora’s guards to get into the
room. Once closed the man ripped his own mask off and began to
mutter profanities and more at his own situation.

---------------------------------------------------------
Katsu smiled, enjoying seeing how curious Arnar was about the
surprise coming. He was pretty sure that the man would finally
say yes. He'd tried a few times before for Arnar to gently tell
him they needed to wait until things were more settled. He'd
understood at the time. There had been a lot of chaos going on
and too much to focus on them having a ceremony.
"Oh? A berry-flavored wine? Sounds good to me," Katsu replied.
He preferred sweeter wines..though they were harder to find.
Apples usually grew better at the higher altitudes, so most of
the wines came from the grounds below the islands.
Seeing Arnar's darker side excited Katsu, reminding him of the
amazing warrior his lover was. He still was. They sparred enough
for Katsu to admire and appreciate Arnar's wilder side. "He
hasn't seen you in action..so it's not a surprise he doesn't
know how passionate and fierce you are,"
Katsu had mixed feelings about the situation. If the King had
been more involved in the boy's upbringing the situation
wouldn't have happened. "Promise me when we have kids, we'll
love and discipline them. You can't have one without the other,"
He said softly.
And just like that the subject was changed and the men were once
again making out, Katsu's body heating up as they kissed and
groaned softly. "That's what makes it so exciting," Katsue
replied, pressing in closer and scraping his teeth gently over
Arnar's jaw.
His eyes glanced around the massive library and then he tugged
his lover to a dark corner where the older books were kept
locked up. "No one ever comes back here," He said with a lustful
gleam as he pulled Arnar's shirt out of his pants and started to
quickly unbutton it. "You going to need something to silence
you? Or can you hold in your cries of pleasure?" He asked as he
started pulling his own shirt off.
[hr]
Ryvel took a bit of time to explain what he meant, though it
wasn't easy to explain it with sign language. Damon had been
invaded by an old demon's soul.. which wasn't quite complete. He
likened it to a small part of a splinter being left in a
person's hand. It would take time, but they had to be careful of
how they got it out of Damon. If they worked too fast, it could
damage the boy further.
Ryvel had heard the man approaching from behind him so the touch
didn't startle him. He turned when he heard Jalal speaking about
his injury, his eyebrows rising in surprise. Now that they were
closer, he could see the tattoo on the man's forehead and chest
and realized Jalal was more than a simple tuner.
Yes..it was a cursed blade that struck me. Thank you. At least I
won't be like this for too much longer thanks to your help Ryvel
signed, his face taking on a relieved look.
Ryvel turned to see Orpheus' relieved look and realized that his
lover had been worried. We are very fortunate that he's a Master
Tuner Orpheus. He may also be able to help with Damon's recovery
as well.
When they finally finished talking about Damon, it was the
Emperor that brought up their staying in the castle with the
boy. "We have a protected wing that you two and the boy can stay
in while you're here. But please use the gardens and move as
freely around the castle as you'd like. I'll be speaking with
Jalal and the Fae Queen about the boy's father shortly, but
first...Jalal will you go with them?"
Caltharas rose to let them out of his office and sent one of his
guards to follow them in case anyone tried to stop them. He had
the feeling that the next meeting was going to be a rougher one.
The emperor let out a sigh when he spied the Fae Queen's guard
had noticed the elves and Jalal leaving with Damon.
Ryvel turned when Orpheus paused and frowned at the man eyeing
his son in Jalal's arms. He let out a sigh but made no sign of
protest when Orpheus moved back into the office. He continued on
with Jalal, moving a bit closer to shield the boy from the
guard's view. Inside he was wishing the man would try something
so he could take the bas.tard down.
[hr]
Snow smiled as he listened to Solis speaking so fondly of Zan.
It was quite evident how much the two cared for one another, at
least Snow had noticed as much. He shook his head, laughing a
bit when Solis joked about the northern people not showing up
for the ceremony. "It probably is too hot.They always complain
that they are melting if it's over 40 degrees,"
Pretty soon the fall days would be getting shorter and the
weather would drop for winter. Snow was definitely looking
forwards to showing Adan and Eden what sort of fun one could
have on the frozen hillsides. Though..there was also winter
break to look forwards to. During the first week of snow..they'd
take a vacation on one of the summer islands as a family. He was
sure that Eden and Jalal would be joining them, even if it was
to get away from the frigid winds and snow.
Snow's grin widened as he saw the look on Solis' face as he
thought of Zan. He nodded as he listened. "Oh, did she? I'm not
that surprised. You do know that she's a priestess right? Well,
a former one. It's likely she had a vision of him before you
ever met." Snow said with a grin. "If she says he's special,
then he probably is."
He couldn't help but glance over at Adan and Eden after Solis
finished. "Yeah...I know what you mean about that. Is it too
soon for me to feel like that?" He asked, softly. A part of him
wanted these feelings that were stirring to be real and last.
Snow smiled seeing how well Heiwa was treating Adan and Eden,
showing interest in both of them and being an attentive hostess
at the same time.
Adan had been listening to the conversation between Eden and
Heiwa silently and blinked when the older girl addressed him.
"Uh yes. I've always been fascinated with them. I can pick them
up pretty well." He wasn't sure yet if he should tell her that
he actually had a gift for them.
"I'll read pretty much anything I can get my hands on. I've got
a whole pile of books around my bed right now that I'm working
my way through." He said with a slight blush creeping up his
neck.
"I'm a bookworm. I love all the things that Snow and Eden find
boring. History, science, dead languages, biology, and that sort
of stuff. Do you like to read yourself? What sorts of things do
you like to learn about?" Adan asked curiously.
At the sound of the strange voice speaking, Adan and Snow turned
to catch sight of the man. Snow stood up, moving to stand
protectively in front of Eden, not about to let another mishap
to occur to her again. Adan stood up, frowning..unsure of what
to do. He moved to put a hand on the back of Heiwa's chair
seeing that Snow was protecting Eden.
He relaxed a bit when the older man appeared behind the Queen's
guard and heard Solis calling the man Gramps. He'd heard of
Solis' grandfather before, though he had yet to meet him. He
couldn't help but chuckle when Solis pulled Eden over to
introduce her. He thought it was nice that Solis had adopted
Eden as his little sister.
"Hello Sir," Snow said bowing to the man. "I'm Prince Snow.
Solis has told me many interesting stories about you. Would you
like to join us for some tea and regal us with some of your
stories? This is Princess Heiwa and my new brother Prince Adan,"
He added introducing the others.
He had the feeling the older man might have some business with
Solis. If so..he'd take the others to show them the atrium where
his father's owl and the other birds of the castle lived. He was
sure that would be a good distraction for everyone.

Thrill was sent down Arnar’s spine at katsu’s words as they were
starting to go at it to be lead to a restricted part of the
library. He felt himself undressed and kissed him back.”you know
I get too loud.” He mumbled against the kiss.”yess..” he hissed
out as he worked more at the man’s mouth, and started to stroke
him
[hr]
Once the man left- Heiwa relaxed.”books? I’m into anything snow
finds boring as well- though I do have a bit of an obsession
with ghost stories.” Said the girl lightly.”I tend to lean
toward botany, and general agriculture.” She said with a smile.
“It’s quite fascinating to learn how to grow things twice as
big.”
Ezekiel saw his grandson to see the young girl.”oh- adopted a
sister already?” He asked the boy as he grinned.”she’s a handful
but you’d like her too.” He said as the older man saw the girl
getting all sheepish.”her names Eden.. “
Ezekiel hearing snow chuckled.”no need to be so formal with me
young one. And I don’t mind- my business is a leisurely one for
the moment and wanted to see my grandson. Hope he hasn’t been
too much.” The old voice cra.cked gruffly. He was ushered to a
seat and let off a great sigh. “These old bones can’t keep up.”
He said with a smirk.
Eden sat back down near Heiwa. The girl seemed a bit concerned
with Eden. But she kept her conversation gentle and light.”I
hear you tune quite a few elements- is that true?” Eden turned
her head and nodded. The girl wasn’t shy telling those she
trusted. “But my favorite is lightning- though I have to wait
longer to walk around with that one.” She said as Heiwa seemed
impressed.
[hr]
The queen fae gave a soft breath out.. after the whole mess”I
apologize, I never thought I’d have to strip parental rights
from what I thought was a trusted man. Thank you for taking the
child in.” Said woman.
The fae queen then turned to them.” Also … thank you for taking
in Adan.. I know I wouldn’t be-able to keep up with how things
were going. And the guardian.. to know he was doing all of
that..” her own tone slowly darkened. “I made sure the man faced
a heavy penalty for doing what he did.. my grandson should of
never suffered like that..”
She then looked at the emperor-“I hope I can maintain how he is
doing at least? And I know eventually I must reveal his
bloodline.. I just feel it’s too early to tell him, especially
with everything that has happened.” She said softly. “My only
wish is that is revealed at 16. I feel he can take his time to
gather himself and process here.. it felt like the safest
option.”

"And you know I like it," Katsu murmured back, getting his
lover's pants down, and returning the favor, his hand firmly
stroking over Arnar's stirring member.
With their clothes and boots strewn all over the floor and a few
of the locked display cases, Katsu grabbed Arnar's hands and
pressed the man against one of the shelves. He trailed his lips
down the other's jaw and throat, stroking the other faster. "God
you taste soo good," he murmured and sucked at Arnar's neck,
making a nice dark mark before he pulled back.
"Shall I get a better taste?" He asked, his eyes shifting to
look down at Arnar's now fully hard member. "Might want to bite
your fist to keep quiet," He suggested as he released the man's
hands and moved down, licking and nipping the gorgeous man's
body before he settled on his knees and began sucking and
licking over Arnar's member.
[hr]
Snow couldn't help but overhear Heiwa's saying she liked things
he thought were boring. "at least you know great ghost stories,
Heiwa knows the ones that'll scare you out of your skin," He
said with a grin.
Adan shivered hearing Snow's comment, and his face brightened a
bit hearing that she was fascinated about growing things. "I
read somewhere that you can use banana skins for that. You soak
them in water for a week and then pour the water part into your
plants. Probably something to do with the potassium in them." He
couldn't help but pipe up.
Snow turned back to the older man and nodded in a respectful
manner as his body shifted to a more relaxed state. "Ah..all
right. Kind of a habit; you have a very.. authoritative manner.
Like a King..or a General. My uncle, General Halder, says it's
best to be respectful and proper to be on the safe side," He
explained.
Snow shot a look at Solis when the older man mentioned him.
"Oh..he's been all right. A little flighty, but that's to be
expected," He joked and then moved to pull a chair out for the
man. He moved to the other empty seat next to Adan and settled
down, giving Solis a cheeky grin.
[hr]
The emperor picked up quite easily on Orpheus' feelings towards
the Queen's guard Lucius. He didn't blame the elf for feeling so
strongly and remained quiet until the queen gave her verdict on
the matter.
"He is more than welcome to stay here for as long as he needs.
As it is, his sister lives here. I feel as though they may
eventually become close again. The girl has already shown
forgiveness," Caltharas told her.
Caltharas inclined his head to the queen in a respectful manner.
"Tahvia and I are very happy to help in raising Adan. He is
quite the gifted child, as we've discovered." He nodded, a gleam
of satisfaction filling his eyes when Queen Nile mentioned
having punished the man. "Good. I hope he was more forthcoming
after my inquisitor used his..techniques on him."
His demeanor softened when Nile mentioned knowing what was going
on in her grandson's life. "of course, I can have his teachers
send you news of his progress. He might do well to write you
himself. It would be easy enough to have him write a young one
of your court, as a way to establish a connection to another
realm and friendship between the races. The birds can carry our
messages so no humans or corrupt members of your court will
interfere." He suggested.
Caltharas nodded when she mentioned waiting to tell Adan the
truth about his bloodline. "I understand, I will abide by your
decision on the matter. Though..with how intelligent he is, it's
possible he may figure it out on his own. He's already
deciphered an old book from Thescara that leads one to the lost
world of Atlantis." He couldn't help but tell her. "Given how
much my son Snow loves adventure; He's already asking to start
planning for a trip when Adan is old enough to go next year."

Arnar felt the strokes to feel the noises slip out some. But the
way Katsu continued his way down the man made him harder. The
man ended up covering his mouth- muffling his sounds at the
feeling of being sucked off, his head back as he took in the
feeling. The sucking turned to touches and Arnar making his own
way down sucking licking and more. It seemed like time flowed
slowly just for them as they got enthralled in their passion, as
Arnar felt the press and fill of Katsu, he felt the man’s hand
over his mouth as he took the thrusting- feeling a spot pounded
to cry in the hand. The feeling ripples down his spine as he
orgasmed, and felt himself make a mess.
[hr]
Heiwa brightened up at Adan’s tip.”really! I’ll try that!
Gardening is a bit of a passion for me.” She said. “And he’s not
wrong- though some are really sad.” She said with a chuckle.
Ezekiel gave a chuckle.”.well I am king and a general in a
sense.. but before long mine will have a ruler and a general.”
He said with a faraway look.”what about you young boy.. how does
it feel to be synced with your partner?” Asked the man.”bet it
felt amazing! Right?” He asked snow as Solis chuckled.
Solis felt warm knowing that he was around and talking.. the man
always seemed to love to be around kids- treating them like his
grandchildren. He noticed Eden squirming a little bit before
taking a cookie again. She clearly was not sure how to handle
Ezekiel.”yo wild child- is very quiet.” He said as she turned
her head.”sorry.. just..” she said feeling sheepish.
Solis smiled some.”it’s okay. But it’s probably time to get out
for a bit yes? Enjoy some air..?” He asked the group as Eden
seemed fine with the idea.
[hr]
The queen seemed to consider this.”wel Fumiko has been the type
to love letters.. and can update me. Maybe Heiwa.. “ said the
queen gently.
She nodded.”while I know he’s a smart child- I want him to enjoy
life as a young one as much as possible.” Said the queen.”if he
finds out along the way- all I ask is a message in that respect,
thank you kindly.. is there anything you need Caltharas.. from
me?” She asked softly.

Katsu loved everything about Arnar, especially how easily the
man got turned on when he touched him. It was blissful to get
lost in each other, enjoying what they were doing and not
worrying about anything but each other's pleasure. When Katsu
got his taste from Arnar, he began using his skilled fingers to
fondle and ready his lover's body for more.
He let out a soft groan when Arnar moved down to suck on him, it
wasn't long before he was gripping the man's pale blonde hair.
"Fuck..you are so good at that," He praised, his own head
falling back.
When he couldn't take anymore, he pulled Arnar up and lifted him
easily in his arms. "Can't wait anymore," He muttered and slowly
pushed inside Arnar's hole, covering his mouth with one hand.
Then he was moving a bit roughly, pounding into his lover's
body. "Gods...I love this body, I love everything about you
Arnar," He groaned hotly.
When he felt his lover's seed spilling on him, he didn't stop
just yet. He replaced his hand with his mouth and pounded some
more into his lover's ass. His tongue slid into Arnar's mouth,
teasing the man's tongue. He continued ravaging Arnar until he
came hard and filled his lover up. "Gods.." He groaned softly as
he pulled his mouth back, and leaned his head against Arnar's.
"We oughta do this sneaking around a lot more," He couldn't help
but say with a happy grin.
Katsu leaned in to kiss Arnar deeply and then used his teeth to
lightly nibble and tug on Arnar's lower lip. "Let me clean you
up. You probably need to get back to your work now," He said,
wishing that his lover might decide to finish early so that he
could return the favor.
His body was already aching to be filled and ravished by Arnar.
[hr]
Adan smiled, happy that Heiwa was pleased with his tip. "Do you
have your own spot to grow things when you're here?" He asked a
bit curiously. "Maybe I could help you sometime."
Snow raised an eyebrow at the older man's response. "I kind of
got that feeling," He admitted, more than a little intrigued to
find out more about Solis' grandfather. "Partner?" He asked a
bit confused a moment and glanced at Adan and Eden. "Oh...You
mean Pyr. It was amazing. Kind of eye-opening in many ways. It's
quite interesting talking to him too,"
Snow's comment caught Adan's attention. "Wait..you can talk to
Pyr?"
"Yeah, my father created a link between our minds so we can
telepathically converse> He does that for every bonded pairing."
Snow was more than ready to go outside and stood to stretch and
then moved to pull out Eden's chair for her. Adan did the same
for Heiwa.
"If no one has a place in particular; we could visit the
kittens," Adan immediately suggested, very much wanting to spend
time with Shadow.
Snow couldn't help but grin at Adan's suggestion. "Sure, why
not? If you'd like, after we could go check out the aviary as
well. It's pretty cool too."
Once everyone had agreed to what they wanted to do; the group
headed out, with Snow taking Eden's hand and taking the lead.
They passed by the training grounds to see Malik being trained
by his new guard and sweating buckets. No one made any comments
and hurried past their destination.
[hr]
Caltharas was a bit intrigued by the Queen's mention of Fumiko.
The young girl had caught his and Tahvia's attention when they'd
made their short trip to the Queen's court. "That would work
well. Also..if she ever needs a place to go, by all means, send
her here. Tahvia..she had a vision concerning Fumiko."
He wasn't all too sure why Heiwa was brought up but figured the
queen was used to talking to herself aloud.
Caltharas nodded, understanding the queen's reasoning. "Yeah...I
hope the same for my son." He said softly, thinking of what Snow
had gone through already. Not to mention that his son had chosen
another name. It didn't hurt, but he did wonder why his son had
chosen Snow for a name.
"I will let you know if he does. I would like to request your
presence for Adan's fourteenth birthday. While he won't go
through the full bonding ceremony like Snow did; I was thinking
I could give him a pet or animal to bond with. What are your
thoughts? Any animal you think would be best for him? Perhaps
one that would or could teach him more about magic?"

The older man chuckled.”that is well and good, I’m glad things
went well.” He said as Eden seemed thrilled.”I wish I could do
that with Silu!”
Eden went with the group to hear kittens and smiled.”can’t wait
to take some home.” She said as she walked with snow.
Malik was sweating as he knocked with the practice swords- but
what he saw- snow with Eden trailing behind made him urge more
to smack swords.
He clanged hard and managed to flip and stick it in the ground.
He decided he’d grow and steal Eden’s heart another way. That he
knew.
The older man separated to make his way to the kings office
after saying his goodbyes and smacking his grandson on the
back.”see you at Halder.. and hope to meet that little
boyfriend”. He said with a chuckle. Soli blushed hard.
[hr]
Arnar felt the mouth on him and felt the thrusts go faster, his
body heated up with passion as his face took in bliss at the
feeling of the man filling him up. He panted greatly as he felt
himsel cleaned up and dressed.”y..yeah I better.” He started to
hear a voice call in the library.”oh dear!” He said rushing out
sort of disheveled as he grabbed the last book and threw it on
the cart. “I’m coming.” He said and wheeled it out heading to
the kings office.
He came in hearing the queen continued to talk.”Fumiko.. being
outcasted because of her gift- I’ll send her in time.. she’s a
shy girl and is very sweet.” Said Nile. She noticed Arnar’s hair
kind of messed up to give a small chuckle as he heard a throat
clearing.”ah I apologize- had a problem getting the last book.”
He claimed and smoothed his hair as he headed out.
He went to finish some things up as he was hoping to finish
soon, as Katsu made him just want him that much more. The queen
took the books allotted to her and said her goodbyes.”may our
communications continue- if you have anymore visions write me.”
Nile told the queen softly.

Snow had to wonder if the stone fox was animal enough for his
father to do the same for Eden. That was a conundrum to him. "We
could ask him if it's possible," He finally told her. "Maybe
tonight at dinner. You and Jalal were invited, maybe he didn't
tell you that yet though."
At Eden's comment, Adan's eyebrows rose a bit. "They would be
old enough now," he speculated, which earned him a sharp look
from Snow.
Snow had wanted to surprise them..but it wasn't surprising that
Adan would figure it out before he could tell them.
Snow shot a look up at Solis noticing his dark face, and let out
an amused chuckle. Soon enough they were in the barn and looking
into the stall where the kittens were actively pouncing and
playing with one another. The man in charge headed over to them
with his arm full of various items.
"Ready to take the little ones home? Eden, you're allowed two
kittens. Adan and Snow's kittens can keep each other company.
Princess Heiwa, it's a pleasure to meet you. If you'd like, you
may pick one after the others take theirs."
Adan was quick to lift the gray kitten up and held it closely,
laughing when the cat started chewing on his shirt. "Silly
Shadow,"
Snow glanced at Eden. "You can go next," He offered and then
nodded to Heiwa so she knew she could pick after. "Adan had his
heart set on the gray one since he met them." He explained
waiting to see which two Eden chose.
There was one white kitten, a striped brown and white one; a
black and white cat, and one spotted gray and white cat left to
choose from.
[hr]
Katsu quickly cleaned up his lover had helped him get dressed.
His head jerked at the sound of a voice calling into the
library. Arnar moved out before he could fix the man's hair,
making Katsu chuckle to himself. Well..everyone would know what
they'd been up to by tonight. Arnar never went around looking
like that; he was almost ocd about looking perfectly dressed and
his hair brushed back slick.
He hoped Arnar wasn't too mad after people saw the state of his
hair. He dressed and fixed his hair before he slipped out a side
door and headed off to get things ready for later.
[hr]
Caltharas glanced up when Arnar entered and his eyebrows shot up
high at the sight of his younger brother so disheveled looking.
It wasn't much of a guess what he'd been busy with. He cleared
his throat a bit but had an amused smirk on his mouth.
Tahvia nudged her husband a bit hard, and gave him a look,
making the smirk disappear. "Please don't worry about it. Make
sure to not attend the family dinner tonight," She called after
Arnar's disappearing back.
"What? He and Katsu need more alone time," She replied seeing
the look on Caltharas' face. "Nile is waiting for you to say
something.." She added.
"Uh right. We'll send a formal invite to her if that would help.
Whenever you feel she's ready that is." He added and then stood
up to give a respectful bow to Nile.
Tahvia nodded to Nile herself. "I will write you, Nile." She
said softly. "Since Arnar and Katsu won't be joining us for
dinner; perhaps you'd like to? You could see Adan up close."
