head turned aside with contrition at his own behaviour , it's not until it's already happened that realization finally dawns upon rohan's intentions. for he's certainly not expecting the sudden touch , the design of hands upon his own , aiming to ⸻ to what. to comfort ? was that what one would call it , this gentle graze of fingertips to an eventual cradling of palms ? the slightest of tremors passing through his own limbs ; not so unlike the rush of divinity coursing through his veins. silent and forceful as it compelled from him the entirety of his attentions. ❝ you ⸻ ❞ and yet the words were quicker still to fail him ; unsurety passing over his features , however minutely , before that too he quelled. ❝ … you are right. ❞ words subdued , he stood entirely statuesque before the offered touch. rigid when presented with such tenderness as that of a cupped cheek , so foreign amongst the familiarities of war , where the closest touch could be found in the bruising of knuckles breaking upon his bones. presumptuous as it was , it certainly spoke to his own weakness for it , that he allowed for it to continue. a wavering thread within that begged to breathe deep and settle against the cradle of a stranger's palm. for no matter how tied together their futures were fated to be , was that not all rohan was ? that of a stranger in all but name. ❝ you would listen to all the utterings of a man who failed ? ❞ a wry , brittle grin twisted at his lips just then. already , he missed the warmth of rohan's touch , perhaps the warmth of any touch , but especially of the one given freely ⸻ for once. ❝ perhaps you are a kinder man than rumours would have me believe. ❞ the words are not so much intended for the other to hear , but a reflection unto himself for what he'd allowed himself to accept as truth. shaking his head free of the melancholy , and the trivial wantings of a weaker man , he instead turned to meet his betrothed eyes head on. ❝ no , you've ⸻ you've surprised me , that is all. you may be out of place but ⸻ not … unwelcome. ❞ and while he refused to give name to the strum of nervousness that came alongside the confession , the pink - touched hue of his cheeks spoke plainly enough.

" and i understand the turmoil and rage you are feeling- " tricksters hands find betrothed, a certain emotion portrayed forth of a man taking care of his intended, a man willing to look beyond the rage and despair he in truth found pathetic ⸻ for wasn't feliks dragova his entrance to the family which he had been set out to destroy ? to make sure would never rise again or would be left with so little that the betrovian royal name would shudder through their halls like a phantom to plague them ? yes, he would take this opportunity which the king had bestowed upon him unknowing of what devil he invited to his family home.
" do not apologize for your passion and love for your brother, it is a strength to see how you would rise to his missfortune. " one hand leaves the others, finding it's way to cheek which is warm to touch and without a doubt beautiful. but he had known softer, perhaps more tender and flickers of it makes nausea come forth. " however, the people do not need the kings brother to fall into pieces, instead let us take this conversation somewhere else and every word uttered i will listen to. "
theatrics rise once more and hand disappears from dragova skin. " forgive me, i should not have done that ⸻ if i am out of place do tell me, i know we have not had the chance to speak properly since-" avverting hazel eyes and step taken back. " since our betrothal. " it is as foreign to him as feliks and yet it is all going according to a secret and dark plan. does feliks deserve it ? no. will he still slither his way into his heart if possible and eat what heart lies within him ? yes, for who is he if not the beast unleashed by valanya's number one enemy.

there was much to be said for the so called ‘ brotherhood ’ that tied them together ; the lacking of any real emotion ⸻ as if blood alone could mend a history such as theirs. as if a shared name proved to be anything more than a noose upon their necks , the three of them , lined up and awaiting their fates from a god feliks no longer prayed to. ( for his faith , that too , was long ago claimed by a king who lay dying ; their own brother , who held such loyalties hostage against feliks' very heart ). following such a childhood , at the site of ruination , what could possibly remain in the aftermath feliks to offer the brother stuck between them. caged in between a leader , and one with no choice but to be led. what worth remained in fostering affections , familiar ties , when nothing else could survive. still , he stood unflinching before the blade , a subtle quirk of his brow the only response to the brother that remained ; half question , half taunt ⸻ did he dare to strike him down ? ❝ it was suggested that i … venture out for some air. ❞ memories of how even the smallest of candleflame had called forth his rage , red - orange flickers of divinity threatening to pour through his being before alighting the entirety of the room. it had been at the behest of a salvator much smarter than he , requesting that he allow them to work without the threat of burning , that he'd made his way into the forests surrounding. ❝ i shall return once my … fires have fully cooled. ❞ following the length of the blade that finally departed of its position pointed close , his stance relaxed as his attentions returned to his brother's face. ❝ and what of you , brother. do you worry of overcrowding the king's bedside ? for i can assure you your absence was felt. ❞
for: @de1ties
he could no more grieve his brother than he had his father, premature as it was. ivan dragova had spent too long hating to grieve anyone. it had been years since their mother had gone in the saintly, tragic way the mothers of all nobility do. a blood-stained handkerchief and then she was gone and ivan was a little boy alone in the palace again. stefan, nearly two decades his senior had never been close to him and feliks though closer in age had been swooped up as quickly under stefan's thumb. whatever ivan had been destined to be stefan had squashed it under his oppressive thumb and now he remained a snake in the grass at court. he was a spinner of honeyed words and sharp convictions - but he was not king. the forest of vladu had never daunted him. as a child there was a stable hand he'd befriend - at the edge of the forest they'd shoved each other and eagerly dared the other to enter under the cover of nightfall. when dawn had emerged so had ivan unscatched but they'd never found the boy. this is the order of life, his father had intoned in the gravelly, ancient voice. the strong survive and the weak are devoured - ensure you are never devoured. he stood his blade poised against a trunk when he whirled the gleaming tip pointed brilliantly parallel to the shining show. "brother," he said lowering his blade. "should you not be attending our eldest brother's bedside?"

the ringing in his ears hadn't quite faded since he'd watched his brother fall. the memory of his limbs convulsing ever so clear as those once familiar features , now so aged with time , twisted under the strain of fighting the poison spreading through his veins ⸻ each breath coming more ragged than the last. with the rest of his family falling into their expected reactions , he'd instead found himself locked bodily in place as he fought against the sudden raging of his divinity ; a dangerous hunger curdling within that demanded to burn all that stood in his path. so even as he joined the entourage that escorted the king to be looked over by the salvators at hand , he was restless to the bone , soon enough circling back to the banquet hall with a mind to examine what little clues might remain. he'd almost believed himself successful in silently slipping away , but was proved otherwise soon enough. he wasn't entirely certain as to where he stood with the man before him ⸻ his intended , his so called husband - to - be , but he'd accepted their arrangement out of necessity , of duty , of whatever it was that tied them to future matrimony. ( even so , he hardly trusted him farther than he could throw him , let alone to see him so weak ). regaining his fortitude , he straightened his shoulders before stepping closer to rohan's side , eyes unwillingly drawn to the way the other's fingers twisted upon gold ; a familiar matching band to the ring that sat upon his own finger. ❝ do you believe me to be some fretting maiden , rohan ? ... a hassled thing in need of your protection to hide away ? ❞ there's a strain of disbelief to his words , nearly amused if it were not the situation that surrounded them ; the fire that threatened to burn through his bones. ❝ the king ⸻ my BROTHER , has been poisoned ⸻ and so should i not strive to uncover the one responsible ? ... should i not hunt them down to drag them before the courts ? should i not burn them alive until NOTHING remains but ash ? should i not do SOMETHING ⸻ ❞ he cut himself off , bodily turning away from the other until he was able to rein in the most fervent of his emotions , his voice that rose in inflamed contempt. ❝ ... i apologize. it's not you who deserves my ire , but i cannot stand for ... inaction , as the king lies suffering. ❞

" it is not wise to return to the scene of the crime, it could make you look suspicious my lord. " wedding bands shine upon both of their fingers. the pretender touches his, letting it circle around his ring finger. it is rather new, or one would think so. the man before him as always looked rather weak ⸻ feeble even in the eyes of the agarwal heir. the proposition of their engagement was one born out of loyalty not affection. it was as if the king had decided to wrap him a gift which would give him access to the dragova bloodline without knowing that he was letting the enemy come closer. however, the man before him was anything but what he had expected the first time they met. " let us leave here, it is not a happy place to be right now and i do not think good for you either. "

she'd only just managed to escape the flurry of activity that shook the halls of the castle ; a youngest daughter quickly tucked behind closed doors as others ventured outwards for any information that could be gathered. left to her own thoughts for long enough before she finally sought permission to pick out a book or three. if she was destined to sit quiet and out of trouble's way , the very least they could grant her was the company of fantastically fictitious worlds. ❝ oh i shouldn't … ❞ it's a gift in itself to stumble across a familiar face ⸻ one of her favourite faces , truly. ready with a spread of tea at the table , and a seat that rather quite temptingly called her name. ❝ my father was quite insistent on my return ⸻ ' straight back to the rooms with you , esme ' he’s said … ❞ but even as her voice trailed off , and her resolve crumbled , she was already tucking herself into the offered seat. ❝ and how are you holding up , luna ? ❞
starter for : open to four replies . location : library in bran castle .
" would you like to take a seat ? " nestled in a far corner , seats and table arranged to be just under the rays of the sun , her attention shifts to them for the briefest of moments . a far cry different from what she'd expected for the festivities to entail yet she'd come to enjoy the quiet that the library offered while the world remained loud beyond the walls . a begrudging thing to have to admit to her brother later that he'd been right in his insistence for her to be there ( close enough for him to find should something else occur ) . " i've no idea if the tea is still warm or not , but you're welcome to some . "

there's a myriad of emotions swelling beneath this breast , a tightening in his lungs as he struggled to breathe through the acknowledgement of the past few days. to be back in the city , the familiar childhood keep , after such a long stretch of years on the battlefields and beyond. he'd welcomed the solace of being near to his family , for all that they'd continued on unspoken and cold. still : to be able to see them even in passage was a gift he would not dare overlook. and so , for such a joyous occasion to have been swiftly gutted by the attack on his brother ⸻ his king , feliks had scrambled to regain any sort of footing. set adrift , he'd found himself following in the footsteps of those who sought comfort from the gods. for if he could not bring himself to depend on them , perhaps he could bring before them the question as to exactly why they'd allow such injustice to go unpunished. his brother was king , ruler to the great land ⸻ how was it that he'd been successfully felled ? no response provided by man or god would ever be sufficient for the losses threatened , his search for answers within the church gone cold , but there's instead an unexpected ( though not unwelcome ) jolt at realizing he's fallen in step with his niece. ❝ and what apologies would ever be required from you to me ? ❞ while not as familiar to him as his eldest niece , he could do the very least to scrounge up a softness to his features , the opening of his stance and shoulders to her ; the hints of understanding that flush his lines. ❝ however it is you choose to present your grief , niece. ❞
location : outside the great biserica ( the church ) time : evening, a day or so after the king's poisoning status : open
as a general rule, fayre did not entirely know what she believed in, but it seemed like the most logical to at least cover her bases when dealing with her father's mortality. and while she'd attended the church in her youth for special occasions when she'd been forced, she didn't entirely know where to begin now. it was likely useless either way; no god would save her father simply because she requested it. even then, there were plenty there praying already, rumors swirling about her father's potential demise & the idea of a vampyr in the city making the church a popular place for the faithful. "i think it might be a waste of time," she murmured only half to herself, leaning against the wall outside the church. "apologies," fayre said automatically towards the person close to her, "i must be speaking out of stress or grief or something of the sort."

full name : esmeray sabiha zaim . nickname(s) : esme , essie . age : twenty5. gender : cis woman . pronouns : she / her . sexuality : bisexual biromantic . title / occupation : lady of targa lune . divine pillar : salvator . parents : liege name zaim & liege name zaim . siblings : lady viridia zaim , liege name zaim , liege name zaim . children : n / a . spouse : n / a . loyalties : the zaim family , the region of targa lune .
height : 160cm / 5′2 . build : slender , birdboned . eye colour : sapphire blue ; glowing golden when using her abilities . hair colour / style : a cascade of waist length honey brown curls , usually styled in intricate braids and painstakingly careful up - dos . in less formal occasions , she’ll flitter around after simply pinning back a few braided strands above her ears . attire : prefers loose , flowy dresses in her house's colours in the comforts of her own region. turquoise and gold , with ranging shades of blue and yellow. as a lady of targa lune , however , she takes pride in taking lead , and at times even creating some of the most up - to - date fashion trends. she’s at loathe to be seen as anything less than exemplary , and that all begins with her outward appearance .
character inspirations : primrose everdeen ( the hunger games ) + myrcella baratheon ( game of thrones ) + edwina sharma ( bridgerton ) + frodo baggins ( lord of the rings ) + beth march ( little women ) + wendy darling ( peter pan ) + ophelia ( hamlet ) + helen of troy ( greek mythology ).
you once dreamed of an idyllic life ⸻ a liege to love you and more children than you'd know what to do with. destined for something soft and fanciful , peaceful and true. you were glad for the future set before you , your predefined path ; the security it offered you to walk only upon the paved road. there was no need to wonder nor wander , one so perfectly content to do with what you had. ( and oh ⸻ the things you'd once had. )
your kindness becomes a curse upon you , a betrayal from the core of you ⸻ your wretched inability to approach a problem and not do all in your power to offer aid. a collector of strays and all manner of broken , beaten things. it starts with the healing of the little creatures that surround you ( the mended wings of a songbird , the limp leg of a kitten that stumbles on by ) until eventually , it grows too blatant to ignore. if only you could smother your gifts , could quiet the need within you to provide solace , if not peace to those around you. alas , such deceptions were never meant to become you , and where they send you ⸻ you know you must go.
the next decade of your life stretches before you , filled to the brim with expectations that were never meant for you. you are no fighter , no soldier ⸻ not with your heart so unable to harden as the position demanded of you. you were a healer , a soft breeze meant to soothe. you are not ⸻ blood spilt and lives taken. an ugly awakening to how lives might be lived outside the bubble of your upbringing , stretches across the land between you and your beloved targa lune. but for all that you begged for the comforts of family and home , you feared the repercussions of abandoning your post ; the shame and suffering it was bound to bring. to your family , your squadron , perhaps to your very self.
what sees you through to the other side of your service is not the same woman who once entered the army ranks , but neither is she so entirely different. touched by death and face to face with unspeakable horrors , you carry with you the weight of memories and lives lost. neither a shell nor ghost , neither fully returned to the full bellyaching peals of laughter you once let loose. you are ⸻ half of something , half of another , and still trying to find out who.
some quick connections include : friends / acquantances from her home region ( targa lune ) , friends / acqaintances from the divine army , those who were assigned to the same squadron ( i very much imagine esme to have treated those in her squadron as a found family type of sorts <3 ) , other healers from the divine army / academy , a betrothal ( perhaps ? ) , someone who could clearly tell how out of sorts she was within the divine army ( now what they chose to do with that info … whether to help or disparage … ).

full name : feliks aleksey dragova . nickname(s) : fee . age : thirty3. gender : cis man . pronouns : he / him . sexuality : bisexual biromantic . title / occupation : prince of valanya / captain ( the divine army ) . divine pillar : infern . parents : previous king & queen of valanya . siblings : king stefan dragova iii , prince ivan dragova , princess karine dragova , princess marya dragova & princess name dragova . children : n / a . spouse : engaged to rohan dewan . loyalties : king stefan iii , the dragova family .
height : 189cm / 6′2 . build : lean , muscular . eye colour : stormy blue , almost grey ; tends to spark a fiery red - orange when using his abilities . hair colour / style : a riot of dark brown curls ; a little on the longer side , and usually swept back out of his face for convenience sake . attire : with the majority of his time spent on the battlefield , or in preparation for it , the bulk of his clothing leans towards darker tones and black ( easier to hide the blood stains upon ... ? ) , and in no particularly eye - catching fabrics. dressing for comfort and ease of movement , he's more concerned about how many weapons he can conceal on his person , than looking suitable as a prince .
character inspirations : daemon targaryen ( house of the dragon ) + loki ( marvel ) + cain and abel ( biblical ) + sam winchester ( supernatural ) + faramir ( lord of the rings ) + bucky barnes ( marvel ) + diego hargreeves ( the umbrella academy ).
your birth is a quiet affair across the kingdom of valanya , an unexpected addition to a bloodline with already far too many complications to its name. royalty runs through your veins , and yet you grow ⸻ ever forgotten , overlooked. your childhood is no time or place for tenderness to grow , family bonds seen as nothing but a weakness to bind you. a tumultuous youth where legacy was of the utmost import , and you , always the farthest down in a long lineup of those who could claim it. ( but what you wouldn't have given for a taste of affection over a chance at the damned throne ⸻ what you would not give still. )
your powers awaken frightfully young , barely more than a babe before the flames begin to spark around you. this is the first time your family looks upon you with more than a dismissive eye , as something of a ⸻ challenge ? or perhaps a chance , for your oldest brother. never one to miss out on the advantage , and learned through the experiences of already having one brother who would rebel. your brother culls your spirits young , and in its place breathes life into a boy who would only ever know to serve.
your admittance to the academy is earlier than your peers , your flames growing uncontrollable , and your brother ( now king , insistent on seeing you rise to your fullest potential ). you're a boy with your face pressed so tightly to the windows of your carriage , tear filled eyes begging for any of your siblings to call you back , with only the following silence to accompany you for a ride that pulls you farther and farther from home. this is the last you will see of its walls for a long , long time , for a boy of eight is what they drag away , and a man well into his thirties is what returns next.
you find fragments of yourself over the years as a student , then soldier. born and bred to fight , to obey. you are a tool , appointed by your brother ⸻ your king , and accepting of it with the silent resignation of a man who knows their place. you lead your brother's army , you shed for him your shared blood. what he cannot do himself , you will burn for him in his honour. a fiery hound from hell , leashed ever so tight. for if this is what it means to be a brother , you shall do so better than any before you. begging for the scraps of attention so far and few , an afterthought of inked responses read through the haze of bloody red on the battlefields. you'll take it , you do , because anything is better than nothing. you've known nothing , and to it you swear to never return again.
