" that's always how the stories go , isn't it ? " he retorts , they could've at least gotten more creative with the whole coverup. perhaps it was humanity's own greed punishing them , they'd forgotten to be grateful. ( they didn't deserve her , of this , xaden's sure. ) but where she is just looking over the precipice , he is far below , waiting , praying not to drown her in the depths. the irony isn't lost on him , the choice is there but unspoken.
" of course there are. " navarre just doesn't care to tell the truth , ever apparently. although he's known this for centuries , the ache is exponential when she's so near & yet so miserably far all at once. fingertips dig into the leather of his jacket , like it might keep him from reaching out & doing something stupid. he settles instead to hover over , head cocking to the side with that smug grin. " maybe , but that's just no fun. "
the truth is right there , but he doesn't dare , not entirely. walking hand in hand , uniting , overcoming when none thought capable. not exactly the story they want to promote when they've crafted such a quaint story of the heroic kingdom & the evil poromiel. " she chose to stay , she chose to rule with him. you tell me , why would navarre not record that ? " it could be dismissed as a senseless story --- something to die with those who told it or written off as blasphemy , but she's smarter than that.
ā Ā i Ā . . . Ā āĀ Ā Ā there was no time to grieve.Ā Ā Ā nor time for asteria to even embrace the freedom that called upon returning to the city of starlight.Ā Ā Ā had her life not been flipped so wholly upside down already , it surely has been now as the others claims still rung in her ears.Ā Ā Ā rhysand is dead , and you are to take his place as high lady. Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā it was a bloodsworn right that was placed upon her since birth.Ā Ā Ā one sheād never imagined in a hundred millenia would ever come to pass.Ā Ā Ā yet as she stood before amren , the weight of their current reality threatening to throw asteria to her knees , she knew all too well this was no fabricated dream.Ā Ā Ā no , not a dream Ā ā Ā a nightmare.Ā Ā Ā ā Ā apart from the fact there has never been a court ruled by a high lady , just yesterday the world thought me dead.Ā Ā Ā no one will follow me , will abide by that.Ā Ā Ā there has to be another , i canāt Ā . . . Ā ā
@alives gets a plotted heavily au starter !
amren was never particularly good with the pass of time , it was different here ( & so greatly muddled after a millennia in the prison , thrashing for an escape that never came / not without taking something from her first. ) but she knew the moment he passed , few high lords had meant anything to her over the years & years she'd dwelled within the court of night. but he , he had been different. he had seen something else , he had dreamed.
& in return , she , along with the other members of his inner circle , had ensured the court continued running. amren protected velaris with a ferocity , never leaving , ensuring they would never be alone. they'd pieced together the truth after awhile but now asteria stood in - front of her with an entirely new destiny she never asked for. there was no time in between for her to come to terms with it. not like they had.
" when has the court of nightmares ever cared about abiding by some unspoken rule ? " a look in dancing silvers that dared any to try , she'd have no issue ripping out a throat with nothing but her teeth. " as for the rest of prythian , they do not choose , i'll be happy to remind the other high leaders of that. " a threat as much as it is a promise , " we cannot continue on as we have , it's becoming far too obvious something is amiss. if there was another option , do you not think we would've done so already ? " perhaps she wasn't the best to deliver the news , not if they wanted it done drenched in saccharine / but she was truthful , she knew asteria capable.
that wasn't what i thought would happen. / nesta to amren!
it wasn't my fault prompts / always accepting.
amren's poised over a puzzle , sparing her a glance only after a piece is placed perfectly. a brow raises , " do i want to know ? " inquired in her usual tone ( not without judgement but not the same bite offered towards others. ) she likes nesta , enjoys the pieces of herself she sees embedded in the other. few would have the guts to enter her loft so freely , even the other members of the inner circle have the good sense to be wary.
" if you're going to just stand there , come help. " she might not need the help , but it's an offering of sorts to hear the archeron sister out & keep them busy in the process. amren palms a section of the pieces for nesta to look at , scooting it along the wooden table towards her. silver eyes are already searching for her next catch in the sea of wooden slices when she speaks again , " just what did you think would happen ? "

he likes the way his name sounds on her lips , a melody that could bring plenty to their demise. helion's never been particularly risk - adverse , an adventurer's heart & quick enough to get himself out of almost any trouble. he'd talk himself out of the reprimands sure to come ( strengthening relations , keeping their guests comfortable , their strongest allies pleased. ) it's an excuse right there on the tip of his tongue , aimed to fire as needed. the truth of the matter was simple : he wanted to. his father would see right through him.
" i'm not the high lord , " it goes unsaid , yet. " i should have a long while before i have to stay behind in meetings. " though surely , they'd have preferred his presence ; that was a problem for later - helion. the cheeky curve of his lips says as much , leading her through the palace with languid steps like they have all the time in this world & the next. " i'm sure they'll be happy to see us , the caretakers are wonderful but i have a nasty habit of sneaking them extra treats. there's an entrance on this floor. "

of course not. he wasn't sure why he expected anything different , gold - flecked eyes rolling to bury the bitter retort on his tongue. it would've been treason , surely the famed general sorrengail wouldn't be married to a traitor. ( but her son was alive & just a short flight over the wards , as a leader. that reality simmers in his stomach. ) the fates surely did like to fuck with him , nothing could ever be simple. a bark of a laugh before he can stop himself , the loss of control & composure's never far around her. " right , because the queen of the gods is so easily bested. " his jaw works , chewing on what pieces he can allow. he's never felt the need to defend himself before , never cared what the mortals said of him but then there's her. the only other one that could corroborate the tale & yet , she doesn't remember it , or him , at all. it's sharper than any dagger piercing his flesh , hurts more than he'd dare let on.
" just tyrrish stories. " he slides his tongue along his teeth , it's not entirely a lie but it's not just a story either. arms fold cross his chest as he leans , his shields lowered to grab onto that silvery connection threaded between them. wouldn't be surprised if they thought it'd give us ideas. usual snark laced with some truth , gods forbid if the people of navarre chose to walk hand in hand. he doesn't clarify before adding outloud again when another student passes by , " you should really work on those shields. "
ā maybe you should stop doing things worth regretting. Ā ā a scowl curves rouged lips as she practically growls at her maker. she will not bite , but she does look like she'd have fangs. ā Ā what gives you the right ? ā
" maybe , " he relents with a barely there smile but a hefty sigh falls from him , lips pursing. " i never believed i had the right to make the choice for you. it was a last resort , i knew that by turning you , i was giving you a second chance but i also understand the burden it placed on you. " the same one that felt so heavy on him for years & years , turned into the very thing he'd been taught to hunt. " i can never fully justify my decision , but i hope you know it was done out of a desire to help you , even if it meant giving you a life you never asked for. "

ā ā"Don'tĀ temptĀ me-"Ā HerĀ breathĀ caughtĀ againstĀ theĀ skinĀ ofĀ hisĀ cheek,Ā hisĀ neck.Ā ThoughĀ sheĀ knewĀ heĀ wasĀ teasingĀ - butĀ thenĀ wouldn'tĀ heĀ giveĀ herĀ anythingĀ sheĀ askedĀ for? -Ā anythingĀ thatĀ broughtĀ backĀ theĀ imageĀ ofĀ himĀ onĀ hisĀ kneesĀ broughtĀ heatĀ betweenĀ herĀ thighs.Ā SheĀ pressedĀ herĀ faceĀ closerĀ toĀ hisĀ skinĀ toĀ hideĀ theĀ flushĀ thatĀ spreadĀ overĀ herĀ own.Ā CouldĀ sheĀ reallyĀ makeĀ himĀ beg?Ā SheĀ wasĀ tooĀ weakĀ forĀ that.Ā ItĀ wouldĀ reduceĀ herĀ toĀ speechlessĀ mess,Ā doublingĀ backĀ andĀ givingĀ anythingĀ heĀ askedĀ inĀ seconds.Ā ButĀ sheĀ wasĀ almostĀ temptedĀ toĀ try.
āWhatĀ sheĀ neededĀ wasĀ anotherĀ questionĀ entirely.Ā Him;Ā pressedĀ againstĀ her,Ā knowingĀ heĀ wasĀ safeĀ andĀ staying.Ā AnswersĀ forĀ herĀ questionsĀ toĀ calmĀ herĀ heart.Ā She'dĀ settleĀ forĀ forgettingĀ herĀ ownĀ damnĀ nameĀ inĀ hisĀ bed.Ā TheirĀ bed.
ā ā"I'mĀ notĀ waiting.Ā I'mĀ savouring."Ā TakingĀ herĀ time,Ā asĀ ifĀ theyĀ hadĀ it.Ā VioletĀ brushedĀ herĀ lipsĀ overĀ theĀ skinĀ ofĀ hisĀ neckĀ inĀ aĀ slowĀ openĀ mouthedĀ kiss,Ā tracingĀ theĀ linesĀ ofĀ hisĀ relic.
as much as he teased & taunted there was no one that could make him crumble like violet sorrengail. no one that could bring him to his knees both figuratively & literally. xaden bowed to no one but her , watching with hungry eyes as that lovely flush spreads across her cheeks. marking a path for his lips to follow , one he's trailed many times before & certainly planned to again.
he dreamt of this , of her , every time theyāre apart. the way her skin feels beneath his calloused hands , the strength he knows lies beneath. she is the only one capable of soothing his ache , she is safety / the only one he trusts with all of him. the good , the bad & ugly. he's laid bare , she's seen it all & she still loves him. the smile on his lips is languid & confident , a pleased hum in his chest as her lips trail the expanse of his throat. palms grip her hips , tightening with each kiss that leaves warmth in their wake. his voice is breathless & low when he speaks , " don't tell me you've suddenly become patient on me. " he so prefers to see her desperate & mindless / when there is nothing but his name to hold onto. his head lulls to capture her lips in a searing kiss , all too happy to press as close as possible , soaking in every point of connection.
" i think it's far more fun to tempt you. "

he respects them impeccably , knowing all too well how power can demand respect just as efficiently. there is none more feared --- even as allies , helion prefers not to step foot into hewn city if he can help it. the few fleeting times / regret had simmered in his stomach & pricked along his spine. the court of nightmares was a fitting name , but that didn't mean all the court capable of. ( something he'd observed first hand , smiles like a well kept secret helion gladly saved for himself. )
" i'll keep that in mind in the future , i'm always looking for volunteers to get me out of leading it. " as if he'd ever had a problem with such evident charisma. his smile brightens into a toothy smile , more than happy to take the opportunity to get away for a few moments in good company.

it's simple self preservation in the eyes of any other , even the other marked were led to believe such. it's not a lie , but not the entire truth either. ( most , if not all knew better than to question him. ) they might not notice the similarities between their ward & the statues in aretia , but they hadn't been there.
" a hobby , " he echoes but the sentiment's cut short with the admittance of her father's interest. brows draw inwards , the only outward change in appearance. a coincidence that the renowned scholar had a knack for myths of the gods --- or it would be , if violet wasn't his daughter & here in the flesh. the spitting image of what she had been once. the silence hangs heavy in the air for a beat , then two. an internal battle that xaden's curiosity ultimately wins.
" which version is it ? " his voice is lowered as shadows seep from his feet to keep watch. if they'd gone through the trouble of warping the tale in such a way , who is to say they wouldn't silence the truth again ?

it's a ludicrous thought that there is anything else more important , a truth he swallows down & doesn't dare allow to free. this is both her & not , unknown territory with no guide to decipher. everything he'd done had been an extension of her work , of their work / & somehow , so close to the abyss of loss --- she came. perhaps unknowingly , he'd called ; but that's not the truth. he'd called for her every day since. she'd always known him better than he knew himself , of course it would be now , when they were on the brink / when hope dangerously dwindled. he couldn't do this alone.
xaden falls into the easy lull of their arguing with effortless grace , greedily taking every word she'd give him. " if you had a better choice in literature i wouldn't have to question it. i didn't take you for the type to buy into the big bad wolf stories. " why did she have that anyways ? was it another regulation issue warped to fit leadership's desires ? or was it hope bubbling in his throat , gnawing at him from the inside out ? a dangerous game to play , but they'd always been walking a line far more dangerous than the parapet.
" i'd consider my survival an actual duty , which unfortunately for us , means ensuring yours too. " he shouldn't have to , she should be as he / immortal , untouched. he dangles the book out for her , " so , let's hear it. what are you learning from the myths that help accomplish that goal ? "

the grand halls of the golden palace have always been something to marvel at , whether by residents or guests alike. spiraling towers that reflect the sun's rays & light up the entirety of the city below. the libraries filled with vast knowledge & the various contraptions that breathe life into the streets. it's a marvel , as all courts are in their own way. but surely the most beautiful to behold at this time of the day , when orange hues cut a stark contrast against the blues of the sky.
he is not so naive to believe her not just as capable , beauty & lethality so often went hand in hand / like a warning / like a promise. in the safety of allies , masks can slip to bare a glimpse beneath , the smile on his lips more genuine than the one he'd wore previous. " is that what his expression's called ? " bubbling laughter rumbles through his chest , billowy fabrics swaying with the movement. " i do hope you've been finding the day court's accommodations to your liking in the meantime. have you found time to see the pegasus yet ?

teeth gnash against one another behind a tight-lipped frown, a defiance in her that settles into her bones. no, it has always been there, she realises. the more she learns, the more secrets are uncovered. despite it all, in the midst of the uncertainty, there he is. a harbouring light in the fog of war. little does she know how much truth there is to that. as much as she wishes to scold him for snatching at her arm, violet bites her tongue and falls in step beside him. despite everything, despite how she feels like every eye that falls on her is filled with judgement, she holds her chin high.
ā they're still my friends, xaden. ā words hissed through gritted teeth, careful and low from any listening ears. she knows she needs to watch her back, simply from the way xaden is holding himself, yet she can't place why. it sits uncomfortable in the pit of her stomach. things hidden in the dark cannot long stay hidden. but xaden is on her side, isn't he? they're in this together. right? a softness breaks the lines of her face as she turns to look at him, eyes wide and trying to be hopeful. ā can't we at least talk about it? i can't shut them out forever. ā
he wishes it were that easy , that there weren't thousands of lives at stake. that it's as uncomplicated as trusting one's friends to be good & true. that the information he knew ( even scattered into pieces the assembly kept away at his behest ) wasn't a death sentence. but it is , there's no if , only a when. the more that know , the more danger they're all in. there's no telling how they'd react upon discovery , if they'd deem their lives more important & turn a blind eye like the rest. if they'd utter such words to have every life he wears scarred upon his skin executed like the ones before them.
there are too many probabilities out of his control , too many unknowns & too much to give up. his jaw works , an inner battle of understanding , that unwavering determination as admirable as it is fucking reckless. that bite is exactly why he can't stay away , beyond the deals that bind. " it's a good thing we don't live forever then , isn't it ? " deflecting like the slide of a gleaming blade with a flash of teeth but she's looking at him like that & he lets out a hefty breath. stubborn. he loathes it as much as he savors it. a stream of shadows , knocking at the edge of consciousness. it's not just their lives you'd be risking.

ā oh great, it's you again. ā
ā you? kill me? that's funny. ā
ā for being someone you hate, i'm sure on your mind a lot. ā
ā you're the last person i wanted to see, actually. ā
ā do us both a favor. stay away from me. ā
ā you really are an asshole, you know that? ā
ā i'm the asshole? what does that make you then? ā
ā sometimes i think you must hate me. ā
ā i thought you said you never wanted to see me again. ā
ā if you want me to go, then you have to tell me to leave. ā
ā well, someone's cranky today. ā
ā well, someone needs to shut the fuck up. ā
ā just stay out of my way. ā
ā of all the idiots in the world, i'm stuck with you. ā
ā what is it you want this time? ā
ā sometimes i wonder if you're in love with me. ā
ā do you honestly think this is easy for me? ā
ā why would i ever want to be friends with you? ā
ā can we please just talk? ā
ā there is nothing for us to talk about. ā
ā you can yell at me later. just let me help you. ā
ā touch me, and you're dead. ā
ā oh, so now you care? ā
ā there is something deeply wrong with you. ā
ā i know i'm the last person you probably want to see, but... ā
ā you don't think we could be friends, do you? ā
ā i'm tired of fighting against you. ā
ā don't pretend you give a shit about me. ā
ā you're an idiot, but... i trust you. ā
ā oh, don't be cute. ā
ā wait, did you just say that i'm cute? ā
ā we're not good for each other. ā
ā if i say yes, will you shut up? ā
ā don't you have to be stupid somewhere else? ā
ā maybe we should kiss just to break the tension. ā
ā i'm sorry i can't turn off my feelings as easily as you. ā
ā maybe there's a universe out there where we're friends. ā
ā how can you be so smart yet so dumb at the same time? ā
ā don't think this changes anything between us. ā
ā you look ridiculous in that outfit, by the way. ā
ā if you die, i'll kill you. ā
ā is that a challenge? ā
ā ah, so you're not heartless after all. ā
ā i don't think i've ever seen you smile. ā
ā you never cared about me, so why now? ā
ā why didn't you kill me when you had the chance? ā
ā i don't even remember why we started fighting. ā
ā i don't have time for distractions right now. ā
ā you're not as bad as everyone says you are. ā
ā enemies make the best lovers, you know. ā
