Hello tumblr user buffout-buffers, I am but a pigeon sent in the long and cruel war to deliver boops as requested by your beloved. They are in the trenches, every day is bleak but they will survive for the gods have decreed it. I do regret to inform you that they happen to be currently inflicted with the deadly blorbo virus, and it is untreatable and highly contagious, however you both shall live. Soldier on, brave hero, for this too shall pass. You are also requested not to ask under any circumstances about their stated goals, for those are well kept secrets of the state and country. Should you push this and inquire about this, an agent will be sent to your exact location within the next 2-4 business days. For my parting message, I humbly suggest that you take my words into consideration and mayhaps listen to the Magnus Archives, or perchance bully your beloved into thinking about it (/nf). May your days be filled with wonder and whimsy, Nova, your faithful carrier pigeon.

(aka Isa's friend who is very sleep deprived and has not written creatively for way too long so I am channelling it into this instead of actually writing, it is lovely to make your acquaintance)

Dearest carrier pigeon, an avian of truest wisdom and haste, I receive your message with open arms

I too hath wasted my creative energy, taking my pen to return a message to you instead of transcribing upon my theatrical dice game which should have been sent out to the masses 6 fortnights ago or some shit. I have, in truth, spent much of it procrastinating to gaze upon my orb, scrying the secrets of the hit CW show Supernatural which released on the eve of my birth in the year 2005. I have also been reading heretical texts about queer witchcraft, laying down, experiencing seizures, and other jazzy ass experiences within my mages tower.

I too am quite pleased to make your acquaintance, and hope this may be the start of a friendship, comradery, insane unhinged and downright unreasonable interaction, or some other pleasant experience

(Ellians beloved I am not sleep deprived just unhinged and not properly medicated for epilepsy very nice to meet you)

ACOD| Chapter X

The atmosphere was tense in the dining table. The still air was electrifying as Aria and Zaya looked at Ellian who had entered the palace mere minutes ago. One thing was for certain though; Ellian was a charmer of anyone that wasn't Aria.

Despite Zaya's hostility towards him, she had managed to act indifferent to appease the wish of her sister; Aria didn't want any drama since she would end up the collateral damage of it.

"Did you arrive today, princess Zaya?" Ellian placed a piece of the stake they had all been served as dinner in his mouth and chewed it slowly, his eyes focusing on Zaya as if Aria was invisible to him. Aria had wished many times that she was, but he always proved her wrong, every time in a crueler way.

"Yes, this morning." Zaya said with a forced smile. Aria marveled at her sister's composure; ever since she had known her, she had always been a person that acted on her emotions immediately, she could never mask her true feelings.

"Did you get a chance to see our beautiful kingdom?" Ellian put an elbow on the table and picked up his half-empty glass of wine. He extended his arm towards the maid that was standing nearest to him, and she quickly rushed to fill it again.

"Not yet, I only took a stroll with my sister through the yard." Zaya said, downing her own glass of red wine, not minding it trickling down the side of her mouth and to her chin. She quickly wiped it with the back of her palm and let the glass down with a clank.

"Oh, I see. Not to brag, but we have the most beautiful collection of roses in all of Oceana." Ellian leaned forwards, looking at her deeply in her eyes. Zaya shifted uncomfortably in her chair and avoided eye contact by turning her eyes to her steak. She absent-mindedly messed with her potatoes with her silver fork, an old habit of hers that her father always scolded her for.

"It was indeed exceptional." Zaya recognized, thinking back to the massive rose bushes stretching throughout the entire yard; a massive rose wall around the palace.

For the first time that night, Ellian turned to Aria, her freezing in her seat. His forest green eyes were dark today and she could feel that he was up to no good.

"My queen, was today a joyful reunion for you?" His words were lathered with poison, making Aria shudder.

"Yes, my king. I am really happy that I got to spend the day with my beloved sister." Aria smiled at Zaya's direction, trying to find a way not to look him in the eyes for longer.

"I am terribly sorry to ruin it for you, but tomorrow you must attend a meeting with me to a nearby village." Ellian smirked and Aria couldn't think of anything to say back to him. She just slowly nodded; her hands curled up in fists beneath the table.

"But I assume that princess Zaya will be staying a while, correct?" Ellian then turned to Zaya, resting his chin on his palm.

"My father sent me here for me to bring you gifts. I will not be staying for a long while, but yes, I will be here for about a week." Zaya could feel a lump on her throat. After having heard of all that Ellian had done to her sister, she could only imagine what he had been implying behind those simple words.

"Great then. My queen and I will only be gone for three days." He smiled and folded his napkin on top of his now empty plate. Aria's heart was bating faster with his every word and had barely touched her food.

"Yes, my king," were the only words she could think of formulating as a response. He had always said that she would be no queen; she wouldn't take any part on any royal meeting, so why now? She couldn't help but let the uneasiness settle deep in her heart and lungs, barely letting her draw a breath.

"But there is a great opportunity today before I separate you two." He got up from the table and straightened his attire.

"There is a festival tonight in Oceana's city center. I thought I would take you there to see it. There are many travelling artists coming to exhibit their works and there is music and food." He exclaimed, the first time he had ever shown a slight emotion. For a second his eyes were glistening as if he were a small kid, baring a striking resemblance to Ior despite being the exact opposite in physical attributes.

"We would love that, our king." Zaya said through gritted teeth and bowed her head to him. Aria did so as well, following robotically her sister's lead. Maybe their father had been wrong and Zaya would have been the best option for Ellian's wife. Maybe she would have been happy here; Ellian seemed to favor her, or at least acted like it.

"Get ready then, we are leaving when moon is up." He smiled and quickly turned away from them, leaving them both frozen and wondering why he would want to go with them in that festival.

❋

Ellian was like an excited little kid going to the festival with his mother. He was walking in front of them both, marveling the beauty of the lit lanterns and the endless row of street artists that had put their crafts up for people to see. There were paintings, hand made jewelry and silken scarves.

Aria and Zaya stood still in front of a jewelry bench store, the various necklaces and earrings with stones grabbing their attention. Ellian noticed they weren't following him and backtracked standing behind them to look at the jewelry himself.

Aria was captivated by a citrine necklace with an elegant braiding design and small citrine pieces along in, before ending up into a small heart shaped citrine stone. She could see her eyes reflected on it, the same exact golden hue.

"Do you like it, my queen?" Ellian asked, his eyes drifting between the necklace and her.

"Yes, it's beautiful." Aria said before thinking, unable to take her eyes away from it. She didn't even register that it was Ellian that had asked her the question, she could only see the necklace in front of her.

Ellian turned to the shopkeeper, a man in his late sixties, with a long white beard and many wrinkles around his eyes. He took his pouch of money out of his inner pocket and checked the price on the small piece of paper in front of the necklace.

"Keep the change." He said as he handed the old man an extra of two golden coins.

"Thank you, my king." The man answered, bowing deeply to Ellian. Everyone on Oceana had seen his face, or for the one that didn't know him, they quickly recognized him as the man with the silver hair and green eyes; a combination of extraordinary physical beauty.

"Anything for my queen." Ellian said and gently took the necklace from its place on the bench. Only then did Aria realize what was going on, as Ellian circled her neck with his arms, towering over her.

"My queen, please place your hair on the side." He said, and Aria complied with trembling hands. He clasped the necklace and gently untangled her hair from underneath it, then turned Aria around to have her facing him.

"It suits your eyes." Was the only comment he made and then broke eye contact with her to lean in on her ear.

"Don't take it off, it'll look perfect if it's the only thing on your skin when I fuck you." He chuckled and turned to Zaya, leaving Aria frozen. A shiver went down her spine and her eyes watered. The last few days she was growing even more certain of her fear of Ellian. She was deathly terrified of him, and her anxiousness was growing for their trip the following 3 days.

Zaya placed a hand on her back, making her jump.

"It really does suit your eyes, Aria. They are almost the exact same color!" Zaya said, unaware of what Ellian had just whispered in her ear.

"What about you, princess? Would you fancy a necklace or a pair of earrings?" Ellian asked and Zaya smiled at him, this time a bit more relaxed.

"I really like those earrings, my king." Zaya pointed to a pair of emerald earrings, elegant and beautiful.

"Very well." Ellian quickly paid for the earrings as well and handed them in a small pouch to Zaya.

"Thank you." Zaya bowed and placed the pouch in her pocket, not bothering to put them on. She was genuinely grateful for the gift, but her thoughts circled around Ellian. Was this kind of acting a façade? Aria's reactions to him touching her were very real, and she had never doubted her sister about her words, but the king she saw was a man of elegance and gentleness.

'Maybe he would have fancied me had I married him...' Zaya thought, her eyes glued on Aria and how she was trying to subdue her trembling body by embracing herself.

They all continued moving on through the bustling streets of Oceana's city center, a cheerful melody of guitar accompanying them. The stores around them had many customers, especially the ones selling jewelry.

After a while of wandering around, they reached the part of the festival where there were many street food canteens operating. Ellian fixated on one and quickened his pace.

"My mom used to take me here all the time." A tinge of melancholy filled the air between them as Ellian said that and they all looked at the canteen. The two men were making some kind of skewer with potatoes and meat one after the other, then deep frying it and dousing it in a deep brown sauce.

The aroma of the skewers was masking every other food in the area and after taking it in for a bit, Ellian ordered three skewers for all of them.

"Find a table to sit down, I will be back in a minute with the food." Ellian said and pointed towards the many wooden tables around the canteen that were filled with loud and cheerful conversations.

Aria and Zaya complied and found a place to sit down, a table at the far end, exactly besides the main street where people were walking around the festival. Ellian kept his promise and not even a minute later came back with the food, all in one big plate.

He set it down the table and quickly grabbed his skewer, devouring it. Aria had never seen him act like this, but that day he seemed almost human to her, like he was not some kind of monster. Had he not said to her what he did once he put the necklace on her, she would have thought that the last month had been a fever dream and the real Ellian was this gentle man with an excitement of a little kid. But he had said that; it was not her imagination. This was all an act for Zaya, Aria concluded.

"Dig in, what are you waiting for?" Ellian asked, almost finishing up his skewer. The girls hesitantly grabbed theirs and took bites. Zaya seemed to really enjoy it as she devoured it after that first bite, but Aria's stomach was twisted in knots. She took a few bites and then put in back in the plate.

"You didn't like it?" Zaya asked, finishing hers up.

"Should I eat it then?" Ellian motioned to the half-eaten skewer and grabbed it from the plate, seemingly happy to eat more.

The three of them sat in silence as Ellian was eating it, just looking around and taking in the beauty of Oceana. There were trees in between every store, and the lanterns had many flowers painted on them, casting beautiful shadows on the pavement.

"What is this festival for?" Zaya asked, eager to learn the reason of celebration.

"Hmm, there are multiple festivals throughout the year for Oceana." Ellian wiped himself with a napkin, making sure there was no sauce left on his cheeks.

"There are some for the anniversary of the war, celebrating our victories. Some are for the Gods of this kingdom blessing us with the gifted..." He trailed off and his eyes traveled to the group of people that were all around some gifted street performers; making fire out of nothing, manipulating the time of nature, making flowers bloom from a single spore. They would erupt in claps and cheers every once in a while.

Then Ellian seemed to snap out of his daydream, his eyes focusing back on Zaya and Aria. He looked Aria deep in the eyes as if there was only those two in the whole universe and continued speaking.

"But this festival? It's for the kings death."
