Leo Thorn

26.Leo.Vampire.Fire

It wasn't the first time Alina and Leo had a public argument. The two of them were water and oil; they got along on the surface most of the time, but there was always the one issue between them and that was Cypres. If Leo was too hard on the guy, if Alina was showing the man more attention than Leo, you name it there was an argument. It was a topic Leo completely avoided more often than not, but now? Now he had to address it whether he wanted to or not. He loved Alina-- or at least he thought he did. Truly she was an amazing woman and he didn't want to take away the only friend she had, but either Leo put his foot down or her mother would. And even Leo was terrified of that woman.

With a heavy sigh he pushed some of his blonde locks from his face, trying his best to calm himself down as he looked at the small dragon in front of him. Leo was known as the most fiery of all the heirs and it was something he was trying to work on. Especially when it came to popping off on the woman he was supposed to marry. "Look, Alina, I--" That calm went straight out the window when he heard Cy's voice. Rage filled every ounce of him and his blue eyes shifted red, something that only happened on the battlefield.

Mari came barging in and had thrown her atlus at the lion, leaving Leo enough time to pounce over the table and straight on top of Cypres. In a blind rage he found his fists flying into Cy's face once, twice, and one last final time. Unfortunately for Cy Leo was fully fed and physically stronger than him. Once he was done punching on his fellow heir Leo grabbed hold of Cy's collar and pulled him back up to face him.

"I will address my woman as I see fit. Because you want to know something, Cypres? You and Mari got engaged first. If you had wanted Alina you damn well could have had her. You abandoned her. And news flash, you can't have both of them. From here on out you and her are done. You need to deal with the Ignis household? You deal with me." With a shove he pushed Cy back on the floor and stood to his feet, proceeding to wipe the heirs blood off of his fists and onto his black pants.

Alina Diaval
─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──
22. Aquarius. Storm Dragon. Water & Air


The relationship Alina and Cy had wasn't healthy, she knew that. She knew that her feelings for him went far beyond friendship, so much so that she revealed her feelings for him and risking everything. Cy didn't reciprocate those feelings, going as far as to say he thought of her only as a friend. She... didn't know what she had expected by doing that, but to be friend-zoned hurt more than anything in this world. Her only other friend was Leo and right now, right now her relationship with Cy was straining that relationship. She couldn't lose Leo, she just couldn't. All for what? The friend zone? To watch Mari and Cy marry and rule Terra, all the while she brings shame to her family name?

The choice was clear, and it was somehow more painful than Cy turning her down.

Cy was joining them mid argument and coming to her defense. Tears welled in her eyes, and before she could say anything Mari was swooping in yelling and throwing her phone. The small blonde dragon looked away as seeing Mari physically ached her heart. What did she have that Alina didn't? Why was Cy always looking at her like a child that needed defending?

"LEO!" It was a split second movement that she couldn't stop, the vampire faster than the average fae because of his order. Alina had moved to pull him off but couldn't budge him. The thing that made her freeze? What Leo said to him. Cy abandoned her. They had been friends since they were children and she always admired him. She always felt a pull towards the Terra heir, like he was the one person in the world she could rely on despite her mothers 'trust no one' policy. That admiration grew into an crush and, inadvertently, evolved into love. Yet he didn't reciprocate, even going as far as getting engaged. Abandoned was a word that fit perfectly.

Once Leo was off of Cy Alina pulled out her monogramed handkerchief and used a drop of water out of midair to wet the soft material. "Cy..." She knelt by his side and moved to gently blot the blood off of his face, paying no mind to the eyes watching them. At this point Alina couldn't even look him in the eye but, she had to do this. "We can't be friends anymore." The words felt like a punch to the gut, yet cy would be fine. He was popular, he had tons of friends. He had Mari... He didn't need her anymore.

Vesta “Smith”

21.Gemini.Currently Unknown Order & Element

"I'm not going in any time out shirt. Not when she's suddenly team Mosquito." Vesta narrowed her gaze over at Veda as she took a seat, waiting no time to take a bite of the fresh croissant on her plate. Etiquette was certainly something that she'd need if they somehow did make it to the crown, but they'd tackle that issue later on. It wasn't that Vesta didn't like the vampire, she loathed him. He tried to kill them! If Vesta wasn't immune to fire she would've been dead right now. " I can't imagine that man is pleasant to deal with on any occasion. Alina should do something for herself to make her happy, and if that's hugging up on earth dude then good for her."

After another bite Matteo was mentioning a scarf and it instantly pulled her gaze away from the heated argument that now included Cy and Mari. The two girls always coordinated their outfits, plus it was spring, who the hell needed a scarf? She took a few seconds to look over her sister to see the glow to her skin and, more importantly, the eyes glancing over at Leo. "Funny enough I didn't bring my scarf. Honestly in a water trial it seems extra risky." Without waning Vesta snatched the scarf off her sister, her eyes landing on the two pinholes in her neck and confirming her worst fear.

"Oh, fuck that." Vesta's appetite was gone. She jumped to her feet, threw the scarf down, and stomped over to the bleeding vampire. Maybe it wasn't a good idea to take on a vampire double her size much less an heir, but Vesta was crazy. "YOU BIT MY SISTER?" Fire burned in her palms before she gave a harsh shove to his chest, singing the material of his shirt as she barely moved the man.

"Robbing you blind isn't enough. Y'know I didn't really give a damn about the crown, but now? I'm going to torch you and rip it from your fucking head. I'll take the crown from your fucking ashes if I have to." Vesta was hot. Her green eyes were brighter than normal, those golden flecks threatening to combust. The copper locks of hers even had a burning glow to them.

27.Scorpio.Basalisk.Shadows&Earth

Rune had watched his parents burn alive in front of him. He had watched comrade after comrade fall from his own birth right people, he had killed thousands of said people. Yet none of that stung as badly as losing his mate. The man literally fed off of pain and he felt as if it was far too much to handle. Marigold was everything he never asked for; he begged the stars not to do this to him, not to give him something he knew he couldn't have. They didn't listen and in fact gave him the most beautiful, imperfectly perfect woman. His heart and soul physically ached for her. The two both had their reasons for not pursuing this bond, yet none of that made the pain any better.

It was physical torture to lift his gaze to meet hers. His jaw clenched to fight back the tears-- tears he had never shed before. Rune would have preferred death than to see that golden ring around those gorgeous tear stained eyes of her. There was no way around this, nothing he could kill or do to allow them to stay together and she knew that. She was fucking brilliant and everything good in the world, and as she spoke it only crushed his heart further.

There were no words from Rune as their lips met one final time. Not when she stood and dressed herself, not as she left. But when she was gone? Rune lost control. Shadows burst out of the walls, the ground, they came every which way and destroyed everything in the room. Wood splintered, glass shattered, his potion station exploded. Even his bed was cracked in half leaving nothing but broken broken pieces of bed frame, the only thing safe in the room was the mattress that laid lopsided on the ground.

"Fuck."

After some time Rune finally left his room, his hands shoved deep in the pockets of his leather jacket and each stride more vicious than the next. The scowl on his face was worse than usual; it was so bad people literally stepped out of his way to make a clear path for the weapon of a man. It didn't take long for him to locate his flock of misfit heirs and company. If they thought Mari's bursting through the doors was bad enough, Rune literally broke the doors off of its hinges as he made his way inside.

"ATTENTION." The booming voice echoed through the dining hall and caused everyone to freeze. It took everything in him to quell the shadows around him. Shadows were unpredictable, often times during training they would turn on the person commanding them. It took years to master, and although Rune was indeed a master of his shadows his emotions were uncontrollable right now. Now he was just trying to focus on the rage and not the utter heartbreak.

"Aqua trail is up next, ladies." Although he said ladies his gaze didn't falter between Leo and Cy. "I don't care what pissing match is happening here. I want all of you in that arena five minutes ago. Do you hear me?" There was a chilling hiss to his voice that even the kings would listen to at this point. The basilisk was taking no shit from anyone today.

"NOW." Rune turned on his heels and the earth rumbled as he made his final order and stomped off towards the arena in his combat boots.

“Vesta I’m not team mosquito, if I was we would have a better name and cuter uniforms and you know it.” Veda smirked over at her twin before sticking her tongue out in defiance. It wasn’t that she was on HIS side, just maybe that she realized he was more of a person than a monster. “Listen I’m with you there, all their relationships are so fucked up but it would still suck to have it on blast like this. Remember when Tony Alto from senior year broke up with me on twitter? Shit was so embarrassing.” Veda hummed as she responded, taking a small bite of the eggs on her plate before waving her fork in the air in an attempt to push away the topic at hand.“Hey! Back off mister.” As Matteo called attention to the scarf around her neck, Veda’s hand flew to her neck and adjusted the scarf a bit to make it tighter. “I just liked the blue okay? It seemed very aqua vibes for the day, I figured we could use any extra bit of luck you know?” The woman was trying so hard to keep her attention on normalizing her behavior but with the commotion growing across the room it was nearly impossible. She stole a glance toward the source of the noise, her heart racing as she realized the chaos was only beginning… Mari and Cy had now joined the conversation and it didn’t appear to be going well. Mari was throwing things and before another second could pass by Leo was launching over the table and taking Cypres to the ground with a thud that made Veda tense. The fight that ensued was absolutely brutal and Veda couldn’t tear her eyes away from the situation, something inside her was thrumming and could feel, *crave*, the heightened emotions rolling from all four of them. There was rage and frustration, despair and confusion.

Then Veda was ripped from her focus as if she was hit with a fucking bus, Vesta had snatched the scarf from around her neck and let out a growl that made Veda jump up from her chair as well. “Vee! Vee slow the fuck down!” Veda threw a pleading look back at Matteo before rushing off towards the commotion, at this point people were gathering around like it was a stage play and multiple different men and women had pulled out their cameras to take videos of the scene. Oh fucking hell, maybe humans and fae weren’t so different after all.

Veda shoved herself between her sister and Leo, her back pressed against the front of his now singed shirt as she placed her hands against Vesta’s shoulders to gently push her back and create some space. Veda could feel how high all this tension was and the last thing she wanted was for Vesta to end up on the receiving end of any of this nonsense. Something in her trusted Leo to not hurt Vesta, not again at least, she wasn’t entirely sure why because all logic told her to not but she just knew that she could. “Vesta please, let’s just go to the trial okay?” There was no getting through to her sister, she was barking at the man despite Veda being between them and she could feel her sisters skin warming under her fingers. “Vesta! Come on!” She begged with her, her fingers tensing slightly on her shoulder before suddenly she was thrown into a pit of rage and anger that overwhelmed her for a moment before Veda turned it into something less wild, something calming and comfortable that she felt flowing through her body like a river. Her eyes went from their typical stormy blue color to something more like pale blue glass filled with swirling ice water and her arms tingled as a few scattered silvery scales appeared along her skin.

It wasn’t until Rune came in booming that Veda’s hands fell and she jumped backward from Vesta with wide eyes. Her attention was barely on Rune’s words and instead on her arms in awe as she took in the glittering new pieces of skin that lied there. The short woman turned around quickly, shoving Leo gently in the chest to hold out her arms to show him the scales that now danced along them. Suddenly it was as if she had completely forgotten all about the fighting due to her pure excitement at actually confirming the siren suspicions. “Look! You were actually right mosquito boy, see! Scales!” Veda exclaimed, her voice trembling with equal parts disbelief and wonder. This was absolutely insane! “Vesta! Vesta look!” She turned back around, beaming at her sister until she realized the deadpan look on the girls face and her smile fell slightly. “Oh come on, let’s all just calm down and get to the trial then okay? Before Rune kills us all.”

Cypres Ettery
~𑁍~
25.Capricorn.Nemean Lion. Earth & Air​

Cy had turned his head for barely a second to respond to Mari before he was being tackled to the ground, his head smacking against the cobblestone floor with a painful bang. It took the man a moment to realize what was happening, the pain ringing between his ears causing a few seconds of confusion that had fully allowed Leo to get the upper hand but once he got his bearings a bit more Cy was able to get a few decent hits into Leo’s ribs and abdomen. It was nothing compared to the beating that Cy got however, he could feel that he had multiple injuries to his face including a broken nose that was oozing blood down his cheek. Part of him wanted to jump up and tackle Leo back down to the ground simply for fucking sucker punching him but before he could sit up the idiot vampire was standing over him screaming down at him.

And that was what finally broke his composure.

“Don’t act fucking hard and big because you got a few good hits in mate!” Cy sat up, leaning on his elbow as he felt his claws extend and his eyes transition… he wasn’t going full order but he was fighting the transformation hard. “And my GOD Leo would you stop talking about women like they’re property? Newsflash I don’t GET either of them because they’re fucking people your narcissistic ass.” In school he and Leo had been close friends, nearly brothers in the war but ever since returning to the kingdom Leo had changed, he treated everyone differently and it had pushed them apart. Before recently they were able to past their strange love triangle.. kind of. “I didn’t-“ Cy went to dispute the abandonment claim but he couldn’t make himself say the words because in all honesty they were kind of true. Life had pushed them apart sure but Cy hadn’t exactly done anything to try and make it work, he could have done a million things and he thought about it often but at some point had decided he couldn’t live constantly dwelling in the past. Then Mari came along and everything just seemed to happen for them, so quickly that before Cy could change things he was being given his mother’s engagement ring and being told to propose. “You don’t get to tell her who her friends can and can’t be Leo.”

Leo shoved Cy back to the floor and stepped away, for a moment Cy considered grabbing the vampire by his pant leg and ripping him down to the floor but then Alina came into view and all thoughts of violence were thrown out the window. Her face looked so sad, so broken and he absolutely hated that she had been around to watch their fight, to hear what they had said. “Lina…” Cy sighed softly and nearly reached out to brush away her hair until he remembered the crowd around them. “I’m so sorry.” He meant it for a million things, not just this fight. His hazel eyes watched her intently as she pulled her handkerchief from her pocket and began to clean his wounds, an act that caused his heart to pound in his chest. Then she said the words that caused his heart to absolutely plummet from his chest. “Come on, don’t say that. We can be friends Alina, we’ve been friends for years. Nothing has changed.” Only it had, their night together had crossed a line that was becoming apparent was now blurred so badly that the both of them were fighting to maintain their own lives. But they could get back to that right? This was just a little derailment, they could work through this and be fine right?

Rune walked in and his booming voice called them all from their various arguments and conversations to return back to reality. A reality that made Cy turn back to Alina and swallow hard. “We should get going.”

As if her day wasn’t already terrible enough, now Mari had to deal with the steaming pile of shit that was this group of absolute fucking losers. Why this crew were some of the most successful of her peers was starting to be beyond her. Alina screamed at Leo as he attacked Cypres and Mari simply stood back , her arms crossing over her chest as she watched it all go down. So much drama, just a day ago she would have been eating this all up but today she was so over it, it felt so juvenile and small compared to the pain she had felt just an hour or two ago. The decision to walk away from her mate, from Rune, had felt like her soul was being shredded in two, it was like she was denying what her heart knew it needed and her very being was choosing to punish her for it. So this? This little petty fight over pretty little Alina? Mari was over it.

Once the physical violence stopped and the men decided to begin hurling their words at one another was when Mari finally stepped in. “Do your best to remember to have some dignity boys. You aren’t on the playground anymore, you are heirs.” She hissed the last bit of her words at the both of them, her eyes turning into dangerous slits as she closed the few steps that remained between her and them. "Figure it out," she continued, her voice a sharp whip against the din of their shouting. “You guys need to both grow up beyond the caring about friendship and love.” Her voice had turned into a growl, dangerous and low so that no one outside of their little group could hear her. If they had known what she gave up this morning, how much she had walked away from in order to keep things the same and keep up appearances… they would realize how asinine this fight was. Alina was LEO’S fiancé, not even his fucking mate! They were going to be wed and it was far past time that both Cy and Alina accepted that fact. If they managed to jeopardize their arrangements after Mari had given up so much for this, she would personally kill them both so they could finally be together as they wished.

One of the V twins rushed in to berate Leo and Mari rolled her eyes, turning her full attention to Cy where he still lied against the floor. However, he wasn’t alone lying there instead Alina had felt the need to step in once again. That was it. That was just the image that Mari needed to see to completely fucking snap on this dinky little dragon bitch. “Oh you have got to be fucking JOKING Alina!” Mari let out a frustrated scream and closed the distance between her and the blonde woman kneeling beside Cy before reaching out to tangle her hand in her long blonde hair and yanking upwards to force her to stand. “Can you get a hint you psycho sad little bitch!” If these people wanted a show, Mari would give them a fucking show because at this point hit was the only thing bringing her even the slightest joy, albeit twisted. “I could have ignored the photo, you and Cy have been friends for years. But I am DONE watching this shit, I’m done watching Leo beg for your attention while you throw yourself at MY fiancé, I’m done watching him feel so bad for you that he tolerates this shit and stands up for you. Do you think he does that because of friendship Alina? Because he cares about you?” Mari let her go with a gentle push away from Cy and moved closer, leaning down into her face with a wicked smirk as she prepared for the killing blow. “He pitys you Alina. You’re so pathetic and sad that Cypres has put attention into trying to be your friend for years and I’ve allowed it but apparently your little delusion has gone way too far. It’s time for this to end, without all the drama please.” Mari rolled her golden eyes once more before standing back to her full height and making a little shoo motion at Alina before kneeling besides Cypres on the ground and leaning into his ear with fake concern spread across her features. “Keep your fucking mouth shut if you don’t want me to absolutely destroy her. This will fix everything for all four of us Cypres.”

Across the hall, Mari heard the booming footsteps that she recognized all too well. It was impossible for her to look towards him as Runes voice rang out through the hall but she could tell that her entire body went rigid. How in the ever loving fuck was she going to get through this trial today? “Come on, let’s get going and then after I’ll take you down to the healers okay?” The woman helped Cy up off the ground before sliding her hand into his to lead him out of the room. As she walked she overheard one of the twins freaking out about her scales and she yawned, “Oh good, since one of you is a fish I can up the difficulty. You heard Rune, MOVE.”

Matteo Sellis
｡ ₊°༺❤︎༻°₊ ｡
24.Sagittarius.Incubus.Fire
Oh boy, Matteo hadn’t quite expected a reaction like that, he had only poked fun at Veda because he thought it might lighten the mood. But apparently fighting seemed to be the word of the day as everyone was all of a sudden at each other’s throat. “Vesta! Girls!” Matteo yelled as he slid away from the table and took off after them, part of him thought that he should maybe go track down Rune or one of the other leadership roles around the citadel to put a stop to this but the fact remained that the main fight here was between two of the heirs… no one here currently outranked them. As everyone yelled at one another Matteo tried to grab for Vestas hand but she was too busy shoving at Leo and Veda had pushed herself into the middle of that issue. So instead Matteo decided to handle the problem of all of the onlookers that had been attracted to the situation. “Alright alright, shows over. Don’t you all have better shit to do than to sit around and watch other people this morning? Let’s get moving.” For a moment he thought it was going to work but then Mari had to get things going again. You had to be fucking joking. These fucking people were going to be the goodamn death of him.

Thankfully Rune had appeared and caused them all to calm down, at least for the most part. The most important part to Matteo was that he was now able to get ahold of Vesta now that her sister had released her from her hold and turned her attention to Leo. Which was a fact that made Matteo wince, just looking at Vesta’s face he could tell she was ready to snap
again even with the reminder about the trial that they really needed to get headed too soon here. “Vee, Veda is right! We should get going to the trial. Then once you guys pass we can go do something fun !” Did he actually have a plan? No. Did he know that he needed to do something to get Vesta to change her focus from strangling her sister to literally anything else? Yes. ​
