I wish we could have gotten more on the bat's and their interpersonal relationships

okay we know which bat's are bonded to which humans, what each bat looks like, and basic descriptions of their personalities

Ex. Ares: large black bat. Had two bonds: Henry and the Gregor. Was very strong, a known risk taker, broody/emo, unpopular with others, still a very good guy.

Aurora: Bright gold bat. Bonded to Queen Luxa. Patient, quiet most of the time. Soft/gentle spoken the rest. Is very brave. Can fly in a series of complicated acrobatics to where a rider has to be very skilled to stay on her. Her and Ares are very close friends.

Nike: Silver and black stripped bat. Daughter to Queen Athena, and the second bond of Howard. Cheerful and helpful. Notably more talkative then other bat's. Boot's is the only one whom she allows to call her "Pincess Nike."

But that is really kinda all we know. Those couple facts about Nike's patentage and Ares&Aroura's friendship, plus maybe that the bats technically need Queen Athena's permission to join the humans for missions, is all we know about their relationships outside of the ones they have outside of their bonds

I do not think Nike is Queen Athena's oldest child. Her being allowed to go on the quest for the plague was explained as the prophacy specifically stating bat's needed to send a representative, and Nike also being a "back up princess incase Boot's role has been misinterpreted". So letting her go off into danger then checks out. The Marks of Secret quest checks out too as it was completely unsanctioned and none of the group had permission to be out searching for the nibbles. All of them knew and said they would be put on house arrest once the returned home.

But still if Nike is next in line for the throne why does the title "Princess" mean so little to her that she only allows a baby who is laughing at an inside joke address that way, She specifically asks others not to "hold it against me" when they try to call her "Princess Nike". Additionally after she and Howard become close and decide they want to eventually bond she starts spending a lot of time with him in the human land. Again there is nothing outright strange about that, plenty of bat's hang out in the humans land with their bonds. But Queen Athena can be noted to mostly stay in her land. The only time she came to the humans land was for the meeting in Curse of the Warmblood. If "overseeing her kingdom" and "preparing to one day rule" were part of Nikes daily life the way they are Luxa's, wouldn't it make more sense for Nike to stay in the fliers land with her mother and Howard to go visit her? Not the other way around? The humans are welcome in the fliers land just like the bat's are in there's. Howard has family connections, medical skills, and is the nicest guy ever. I would be very surprised if he was not allowed to go to any safe land anytime he wants. Nikes disregard of the "Princess" title and seeming freedom to leave her land for adventures as well as casual trips leads me to belive she has unamed older sibling in the bat's land who is on deck to rule befor her.

Gonna move on in a second, but while we are talking about unamed members of Nike's family let's talk about her father. He is not in the books and Queen Athena seemingly rules the Bat's by herself. Does the fandom believe he is dead and Athena was not required to take a second mate/King afterwards, or is he alive and the flyers are a monolithic kingdom (one ruler). Because of Athena's royal status I personally belive the monolithic kingdom. Secondly since Queen Athena is a white bat and Nike is zebra stripped, is her father a dark colored bat, or would that not be how bat genetics work? This is a question I do not know the answer to.

Now let's move on from Nike and talk about our boy Ares. Again even before bonding with Henry he was known to be reckless, disobedient, and a risk taker. While in our safer society this might make Ares seem really cool to kids/teens he was never popular in the underland. Since the underlanders are always at war, or trying to live through or recover from a crisis this possibly made Ares seem like he was kinda crazy/dangerous to be around (You all judged him wrong). After Henry betrayed everybody and Ares broke his bond to save Gregor Ares was then completly shunned by every bat and human, save Luxa and Aurora. Okay to give minor credit: Nerissa still cared about Ares, and the reason he didn't know that was he was avoiding her. While Andromeda and (I guess) Nike did not originally trust Ares after the events of the first book, they got over it and became friends with him. Gregor started visiting more, and Howard is friendly to everybody. But still for like six months Ares had no one in his life but Luxa and Aurora. When they got lost on the second quest he referred to them as his only two reasons to live. He gave up going to the doctor for medical treatment for his mite bites and made a desperate venture into enemy lands alone to search for them, only going back to his cave when he was to sick to keep going.

During all these times there is no mention of Ares having parents, siblings, or relatives of any kind. So was he an orphan who had no one? Or did he originally have family, who after the events of the first book, hated and shunned him with all the rest? And if so were they ever sorry?

Lastly let's talk about Thailiah. Poor, brave, little Thailiah who was such a young bat when she died so tragically. Her friends all tried so hard to take care of her on the quest, and when she still died they all cried and promised to hold her in their hearts forever. Did she have a mother and father back home? What did they think/feel when the "picnic crew" went missing? When Gregor brought the other pups back did her patents believe Thailiah would be with them? Who had to tell them she was never coming home?

Gender headcanons because I am so tired and so done and need something.

Wild: They them all the way. Their clothing adventure has given them all of the nonbiny feels and the reject pronouns thoroughly.

Legend: He/they he's happy with either and accepts either at any given point. Is also 100% comfortable presenting as female but he doesn't really like female pronouns.

Time: He/him???? He's never actually stopped to think about it. Maybe He/Fae who knows

Four: He/they preferably but on rare days they have she/her feelings. (Vio&Red hold the she/they/he pronouns). Usually when it's a she/her day they just keep quiet about it, Dot and Gramps are the only ones who know. But Legend and Wild find out, scoop her up and make sure she feels loved.

Wind: He/They but he's not sure how to process it all yet. One day while teasing Tetra about her princess dress she made him put it on and he secretly liked it more than he let on and he's been questioning things ever since. But he knows he's not vibing with being called she/her.

Warriors: "Too pretty for pronouns to apply" is a joke he regularly throws around but he adheres to he/they, generally leans more towards he. But sometimes he just has days where he does not wish to be perceived and being an enigma is far more comforting than being in his own skin. He has some kind of accessory that marks when it's a They day.

Sky: He/Him he's comfy where he is, most definitely in touch with his feminine side. But he's never questioned this part of him much.

Hyrule: Trans masc but first time they ask him he has a crisis because he's never actually thought about it, he's just always seen himself as a boy. So He doesn't know, and he's never had anyone to talk to about any of it because it's not something you really bring up in his time (though Dawn and Aroura have learned about this, they just don't question it and keep him safe). He's comfy with He/Him but as the other pronouns have started been tossed around he's been thinking more and more and it's left him a little undecided. He's learning as he goes along with the group. (Thinking maybe He/They/Fae)

Twilight: He/They at least. He didn't questions it much before traveling with Wild but he's had some moments where he's liked the They/Them pronouns more and more. (Also depending on the au for me at least he is also Trans)

#linked universe #lu twilight #lu warriors #lu legend #lu wild #lu four #lu hyrule #lu time #lu sky #lu wind #nonbiny babies #trans Hyrule #gender is confusing #im still learning myself so exploring through these dorks is a definite #but over all just....they give off nonbnary energy to me idk why!!#lord knows this is probably not the only time i think about this and these headcanons will probably change #and i will also probably forget that i posted this in the first place #ight m gonna take myself out back now

Random Sleeping Beauty thoughts, but Aroura was raised out in the woods, presumably with as little human interaction as possible, and her caregivers are three fairy women who have to figure out How to Human. It is very possible Aroura is Weird to the people of royal court because she was not raised like a human being, she was raised like a fairy.

Yes the fairies could not use their magic, and they have interacted with people before and know what is polite in Human Polite Society. But day to day, they're not pulling out their royal court behavior. Even though they couldn't do all the magical stuff a fairy does, it never changes their nature. They still talk to the animals, sense the shift in weather long before it happens,and frolic in the woods, leaving fairy rings in their wake, they still keep up whatever Holidays and important dates matter in fairy culture and Aroura is right there with them. So when Aroura goes back to court, she's confused as to how things work because it's nothing like how Faries do things.

Part 1 Part 3 Part4 Part5 Part6 Part7 Part8 Part9 Part10 Part11 Part12 Part13

Levi let out a long sigh as Stanley droned on about how a princess must be chosen, that a royal marriage should happen soon or at least a ball. He didn’t care much for any of it. He would prefer to be outside exploring the grounds with you. He glanced to his door to see you push his father’s wheelchair in, meaning his father was having a bad day with his lungs. Levi moved his hand over his mouth to hide his smile at seeing you.

You bowed deeply. “Pardon the intrusion, but his highness wished to see you.”

Levi tore his eyes from you to see his father was grinning with a knowing look. Levi blushed a little. “I don’t think you’d care much for this meeting, father.”

Sebastian smiled. “I can wait.”

Stanley cleared his throat. “May I? Your highness, I have presented a few potential candidates to his majesty. There is this young lady who would suit him. Princess Aroura.” He glared at you when you held back a laugh. “There is also Princess Thalia.” He looked up at you when you made a small noise. “Lastly, Lady Safa.” He slapped his papers down and shouted your name making you jump. “Do you have a problem?”

Levi shot to his feet. “Stanley! I would appreciate it if you did not speak to my staff in that tone. I value this maid’s opinion. She cares for my father and does it well. We will hear her out.”

Stanley bowed deeply. “Forgive me, your majesty.”

Levi looked over at you. “Are these royals a problem?”

You fiddled with your apron. “I do not wish to anger Sir Stanley anymore.”

“I’m asking you to talk.” He waved you over. “Come here.”

You walked over to his desk and stood at his side. You moved the files around and got the three women Stanley liked. “Well, you are informed of how these ladies are by officials, but the ones who truly know these people are the those who work for them. I have seen many maids and butlers come and go, some have worked for these people or gave gone to work for them. Princess Aroura is rather messy, and forgive me if I am wrong, but you your majesty prefer cleanliness.”

Levi hummed and liked how you just got him. “Yes.”

You gulped and pulled your gaze from Levi. “As for Princess Thalia, she is not interested in you or many men.”

Stanley frowned. “Ridiculous!”

Levi placed his hand on your back. “Could you perhaps expand upon that?”

You nodded. “Well, she much prefers the company of women.”

He smiled a little when he understood what you meant. “I hope she finds love.”

“Indeed, so do I.”

Stanley tutted. “And what of Lady Safa?”

You gasped. “Oh, well she is prone to affairs. She is loyal to money and only money.”

Levi collected all the files and offered them to Stanley. “I will not be selecting any of these women.”

“May I make a suggestion?”

Sebastian clapped his hands together. “I think that’d be wonderful. She seems very knowledgeable.”

Levi placed his hand on your upper back and felt his skin tingle. “What do you have in mind?”

You gulped hard. “Well, I am sure Sir Stanley has suggested it, so I am merely agreeing with him. I do believe a ball is an excellent idea. A ball will allow you to meet a few ladies and if there are any you are interested in, you can enquire about them.”

“And it will be respected if I do not choose a bride?”

Stanley nodded. “Yes, your majesty.”

“Then I shall host a ball.” He sighed. “Thank you, Stanley. I will organise this with my people. You may see yourself out.”

Sebastian smiled. “Perhaps, son, you should release my maid?”

Levi had noticed he’d cornered you a little against the desk. He pulled back as his cheeks burned. “Forgive me.”

You hummed a sweet laugh making Levi’s heart skip a beat. “Forgiven.” You lightly touched Levi’s jawline. “Your stubble has gone.”

“I worry less after what you did for me two weeks ago with the tea and water. I am thankful to you.” He leaned into your touch. “I take better care now and sleep many hours.”

You pulled back. “I am glad.”

“We’re you worried about me?”

You blushed hard. “Perhaps.” You moved away. “Excuse me, I have work and his highness wished to speak with you.”

Sebastian smiled at his son and waited for you to leave before he spoke. “You’re falling in love.”

Levi blushed. “I am not.”

“Trust me, son, I know what love looks like.”

Levi cleared his throat. “I was just talking with her.”

Sebastian laughed, but his lungs tightened up a little making him cough. He wafted his son away. “I’m alright.”

Levi poured a glass of water and offered it to his father. “Drink.”

He downed some and sighed after. “Thank you, son.” He handed the glass back over. “As I was saying, it is clear to me that you are falling for this maid and I don’t think you should hold back or deny it.”

Levi sat down on his office chair. “I don’t think she’d want me. She’s rather loyal to her job.”

“I think she has a fondness for you.”

Levi perked up a little. “Really?”

Sebastian laughed. “You really got excited then.”

“Are you messing with me?”

“No, she really does like you.”

Levi ruffled his hair. “Fine, I admit that I am romantically interested in her. I don’t think she is interested much in making much of what is between us.”

Sebastian hummed in thought as he tried to figure out a way to get you and Levi alone. “You know, in my experience, it’s better to admit your feelings than deny them.”

“I’ve only known her for four weeks.”

“I fell for your mother the first time I saw her.”

Levi put his head in his hands. “What do I do? How do I approach her? How do I woo her?”

Sebastian shrugged. “Flowers. Maybe spend some time with her that doesn’t involve her doing a job.” He looked at his pocket watch. “She’ll be on a break right about now and I know for sure she’ll be in the library.” He rolled his chair. “I’m off to see your mother anyway. I have ample amounts of kissing to do.”

Levi walked out of his office. “Don’t wanna know, dad.” He strode his way through the palace with his smart heels tapping on the floor. He stopped in front of the carved wooden double doors. He carefully pulled down the golden handles and peeked inside. He looked around the tall shelves of books and tables, but couldn’t see you. He sniffed the air and caught your perfume. He listened closely and heard your voice. “Hmm.”

You huffed and reached back up to grab a book. “Come on.”

Levi peered down the hall and smiled at you trying to reach for a book. He quietly moved closer to you and saw what book you were aiming for. He grabbed your waist lightly. “Let me help.”

You blushed when he lifted you up. “T-Thank you.” You grabbed your book as you enjoyed Levi’s big hands and slender fingers on you. You let out a little whimper when he placed you back on your feet. “You helped me out a lot.”

“Glad I could be of service.”

You turned in the little space Levi gave you between the shelf and his body. You gazed at him with a blush on your cheeks. “You were very helpful.”

He stared at your cute face before looking down at the book in your arms. “It’s surprising to see that you’re able to read.”

You gripped the book. “My parents valued reading and writing in our house. I was lucky to have that love and care.”

“Your parents still around?”

You nodded. “I write to them and them to me.”

“That’s good.”

You hummed a little. “May I assist you with something you majesty?”

He shook his head. “No.”

You gulped hard. “Then I’ll go about my break.” You dodged under his arm. “Excuse me.” You strode over to the large mahogany tables that were polished to perfection. You sat at the matching chair and began reading your book in the candlelight.

Levi grabbed a random book from the shelf and joined you. “May I?”

You smiled at him. “It is your library.”

He sat down. “I know, but this is your break.”

You hummed a laugh. “You really don’t comprehend your position, do you?”

He rubbed the back of his neck. “No, I guess not.”

You smiled at him. “You’ll get it soon enough.”

He opened his book and frowned. “Shit…”

You slid another book you’d picked over to Levi. “Perhaps this one would be better?”

He cleared his throat. “Thank you.” He read a few lines. “You know I’m giving the go-ahead for electricity. So, soon you’ll have lights in here and I can get you a lamp for your room.”

You smiled a little. “I don’t need a lamp, but it’s amazing you’re investing in something good for the people.”

He nodded. “I hope to put it in all homes. People deserve it.”

You thought about your parents getting excited over a light in their house. “I can’t wait.”

He smiled at you and watched you return to your reading. “I’ll be quiet now. Sorry.”

“Do not be sorry. If you wish to talk, then talk.”

“Thank you.”

You fixed your dress and grabbed your bag with your things. You left your room and stood in the hall as you counted your coins for the carriage into the city. You quickened your pace down the hall and slammed into a warm chest. “Sorry!”

Levi caught you and hummed. “There you go again with falling into my arms.”

You laughed. “It keeps happening. I should stop.”

“I don’t mind it.” He looked you over. “You are not in uniform.”

You walked to the door. “That is because it is my day off. If that’s an issue, then I can change my day.”

Levi remembered that he needed to grasp opportunities with you. “I will come with.”

“Oh, but your majesty it is not possible. You clearly look like a royal.”

He cupped your face. “I’ll be right back.”

You watched him run up the stairs. “Oh, but I have a carriage!” You let out a long sigh and waited for Levi. You needed to go to the pickup point, but he seemed so excited to join you. You blushed a little when he returned with high-waisted trousers and a loose smart shirt tucked. “Oh.”

He skidded in front of you in his long boots allowing you to see his trousers were tucked into them. He pushed his hair back and placed a cap on his head. “There, I’m back into my normal clothes before I was crowned. I even have some money.”

“But you must be escorted by guards.”

“It’ll be okay.” He hurried to the door. “Come on.”

You walked as fast as possible out of the grounds. “Sorry for speed walking, but the carriage will be arriving soon.”

“You don’t go by horse?”

You looked over at him. “I don’t know how to ride one. I was never taught. When you spend all your time working in the palace, there’s no need to learn.” You stopped at the collection point and counted your coins again.

Levi closed your hand. “Put that away. I’ll pay for the ride.”

“Oh, but.”

“It’s alright.”

You watched him and admired how he looked in commoners’ things. You glanced at his chest to see his shirt had a bit of a deep V-neck. You saw his chest peeking through. You jumped when he softly said your name. “Y-Yes?”

He smiled at you. “You cannot call me your majesty around the city, so please call me Levi.”

Your cheeks burned hard. “I…I…I…”

He looked away as a grin started. “I am supposed to be undercover.”

You nodded. “I will try my best.”

“I work in the palace with you. I’m there to help install the electricity system.”

“Alright.” You waved to the carriage driver with and cart in the back with simple seats in the back. “Good day, Robert. Two please.”

He pulled on the reins. “Oh, you have a friend. Been a long time since I’ve seen you have company with you.”

“He’s new at the palace.”

Levi offered the money. “Thank you for providing this service.”

Robert smiled at the coins. “Pleasure. Hop on the back.”

Levi walked with you to the back and lifted you onto the carriage before he climbed on. He sat on his seat and slid closer to you. “Comfy?”

You smiled a little. “As comfy one can be.” You bumped against Levi when the carriage moved. “S-sorry.”

“Don’t be.”

You fiddled with the skirt part of your dress. “May I ask something?”

He nodded. “Anything.”

“Why did you decide you want to come with me today?”

Levi gulped hard and didn’t want to admit that it was because he wanted to spend time with you. “Well, I need someone to give me a none biased tour of the city. If I were to have one as you know who, then I’ll be shown how wonderful this place is. With you, well, you will show me the real face of this city.”

“Why me?”

He leaned closer and smiled at you. “You were honest about the women people want me to marry and you presented a good idea. You don’t hold anything back. Everyone else is trying to kiss my ass and my parents are my cheerleaders. You speak the truth.”

You smiled a little. “I guess I do.”

He glanced at Robert. “Robert mentioned about it being a while you’ve been with someone.” He glanced back at you to see you blushing. “Do you have a lover?”

You shook your head as you remembered how lonely you had been. “No one.”

Levi hummed in thought. He didn’t want to admit he was happy you were single, so he tried to keep things on track. “Have you ever?”

You looked over at Levi. “If you are asking whether I have ever taken a lover, then yes. I have had two in the past and one I was intimate with.”

“We’re you happy?”

You shrugged. “I was not satisfied in the bedroom, but I was a little romantically.”

Levi’s cheeks burned at the bedroom mention. “Right.”

You smiled a little. “If you really want to know, we parted ways because he was needy for me and I could not provide him with the attention he desired. Long story short, I worked too much. When you live where you work it is hard to escape to be with someone.”

“I understand. It is a demanding position, even more so now.” He frowned a little in thought about how you’d worked nonstop for him. “I overwork you.”

“No, you don’t. You’re a great boss.”

“Thank you.”

You looked up and smiled when you saw the sea getting closer. “Almost here.”

Levi looked out at the sea and the houses along it. He turned his eyes to you and admired the look of pure delight on your face. He smiled as he enjoyed the view that was you. “Beautiful.”

“Isn’t it?” You turned to Levi. “I do adore part of the city by the sea.”

“Do you like the sea?”

You hummed as you nodded. “It feels so fresh here. Being in the palace and around it, you struggle to breathe sometimes.” You held your hand up. “Before you say, there is nothing that can be done. Rules are strict and I follow them closely.” You stood up and walked to the end of the carriage. You jumped down and waved to Robert. “Thank you! See you later when I go back.”

Robert smiled. “See you soon, pet!” He waved Levi over. “Lad, if you want to make that lady happy, she rather likes the ice cream they make here. She saves up her money to buy some.”

“Thank you for the tip.” Levi jumped off and sighed. “Now where do we go?”

You opened your satchel bag and retrieved a list. “I have a few things to get. I will meet you here in an hour.”

He frowned a little. “Do you not want me with you?”

“Oh, I thought that you might possibly be bored if you accompanied me.”

He put his hands in his pockets. “You presumed wrong.”

You blushed a little. “Forgive me.”

“Don’t be sorry.”

You gripped the strap of your bag. “Well, I must go to my regular cleaning shop. I am running low on soap.”

Levi perked up at the information. He loved your scent and going to this shop meant he could buy some so he could smell like you. “I would like to go with you.”

“Sure.” You walked down the path and noticed Levi was at your side and by the road. You smiled a little at him acting like a gentleman. You gasped when two guys ran past you causing you to fall into Levi. “Sorry.”

Levi held you close. “Tch, oi assholes!? Watch where you’re fucking going!” He looked down at you and lifted your head by your chin. “Are you alright?”

You nodded shyly as your senses were firing away from his touch and smell. “I am perfectly fine, thanks to you.”

He released you. “It is a good thing I was here to catch you.”

“I suppose you are right.” You smiled a little when he placed his hand on your back. “Will you be buying anything today?”

“If something catches my eye, then yes.”

You hummed and stopped at the shop. “I suppose I could show you things you could buy for your fiancée.”

He opened the door for you. “I’m not engaged.”

“Not yet.” You walked into the wood shop with a soothing scent of natural soaps. “I’ll get my things. Take a look around.”

Levi observed the shop to see plants in little corners that they could fit in. He admired the L-shaped counter with curved glass to protect the special soaps and creams. He saw a woman behind the counter cleaning up, who kept glancing over at Levi. He gave her a small nod before walking over to you as you checked the shelves. “Found what you’re looking for?”

You shook your head. “I can’t seem to find my usual.” You walked over to the counter. “Miss? I usually have a honey and milk soap and cleaning collection, but I don’t see it.”

She smiled. “We don’t usually sell it often. My mother told me about the maid that buys it. You must be her. She puts it in the back for you. I’ll go get it now.”

Levi raised his hand. “I would also like the same product.”

She bowed. “Of course, sir.”

You looked over at Levi. “You want them too?”

He blushed a little. “I rather like your soap and I wanted to give it a try. If there’s an issue, I can have something else.”

“Oh, no, no, there’s no issue. I’m flattered you like what I use. I hope you like it when you use it.”

“I will.” He wasn’t going to tell you he was going to think of you as he used it.

The woman returned with two paper bags. “Here you go.”

Levi opened his wallet and handed over the money for both. “Let me treat you.”

You blushed a little. “Thank you.”

He grabbed both bags from the woman. “Thank you.” He walked out of the shop with you and noticed on one bag there was a note. “What is this?”

You tugged it off and read it. “It seems you have a love note.”

Levi took it from you and read the woman’s words. “Tch, don’t want it.” He crumpled it up. “Is there somewhere I can dump it?”

You gasped and took it from him. “Some poor girl wrote her feelings out for you.”

“She was too young. I prefer ladies close to my age.” He looked over at you. “Such as you.”

You stared at the note. “Fine, fine. I will bin this for you.”

Levi watched you hurry over to a bin and get rid of the note. He hummed a little and saw the ice cream place. He waited for you to return to him before speaking. “I have an idea.”

You smiled a little at him. “What is it?”

He grabbed your hand and pulled you across the street to the beach shops. He ran along the decking as you looked out at the water and sand. He looked back at you and realised how he was holding your hand so tightly. He slowed down a little. “Sorry, I’m dragging you around.”

“Don’t be sorry.” You squeezed his hand. “You wanted to do something?”

He nodded and tugged you closer. “Here.”

You looked ahead to see the ice cream place. “Oh, I know this place.”

“I wanted to have some. Would you like to join me?”

You removed your hand from his and began playing with your bag as nerves swept over you like a strong tide. “I cannot afford the ice cream yet.”

“I will pay.”

You shook your head. “I have taken enough of your money.”

He saw the tears in your eyes. “Hey, hey, hey.” He rubbed your tears away with his gentle warm touch. “Do not shed a tear. This is a treat. You owe me nothing. Please, allow me to buy you this. I’m not asking anything in return.”

“But it is worth so much.”

“To me, your smile and happiness are worth more.”

You blushed as you gazed at Levi. “I…”

He pulled you close and held you tightly. “Let’s forget the ice cream. Shall we get something else? I do not want you to be saddened.”

You pulled back a little and sniffed. “No, no. I have overreacted. I forget that money is different between us.” You rubbed your tears. “I will accept an ice cream. B-but only a small one and a cheap flavour.”

He hummed a little in thought before approaching the kiosk. He bought a strawberry ice cream with lemon and some water. He returned to you with his collection of things. “Shall we sit on the beach?”

You lit up in delight. “Oh, please.” You hurried down the steps and onto the sand. You ran to a little spot where there was a bench. You whipped out a hankie and dusted it down before placing it down for Levi to sit on. “For you.”

Levi stared at the hankie. “Thank you. Is this so I don’t sit on something dirty?”

“Yes.”

He sat down and knew better than to argue. “Thank you.” He handed over a little wooden spoon. “To combat you, we will be sharing.”

You hummed. “You’re too smart for your own good.”

“I am.”

You ate some and wiggled in delight. “It’s perfect. I’ve never been able to have these flavours before. Were they on sale?”

Levi stared at you for a moment and decided to lie. “Yes.”

You smiled a little knowing Levi was lying to you to make you feel better. You carried on eating and hummed. “Thank you.”

Levi stared at you and knew he’d been caught. “You’re welcome.”

“You shouldn’t be so nice to me.”

“Why?”

You shrugged. “I might start thinking there’s more to it.”

He locked eyes with you as the spring ocean breeze wrapped around you both, but the cold did not move you because the heat was strong between you both. He glanced down at your plump lips. “What if there is?”

You whimpered a little. “Don’t.”

He slid closer. “Don’t what?”

You panted and gasped as his lips got close. “It’s not right.”

“Says who?”

You turned your head and slid away. “You must be teasing me.”

He let out a long sigh. “Why would you think that?”

You stood up. “I have more things to buy. You should finish your ice cream.”

“I can come with.”

You stared at him. “You should finish your ice cream.”

Levi got the hint and nodded. “Very well.”

You hurried away and went from shop to shop, but the more you went to, the more the guilt seeped in of leaving the Emperor all alone on a beach. You stopped by a nice little gift shop and bought a leather-bound bracelet as a sorry and a thank you. You returned to Levi to see him surrounded by women chatting him up. You felt a small sting in your heart, but the look of annoyance on Levi’s face changed the feelings inside you. You placed your hand on your chest and went pale when you realised you had just been a little jealous. You hated that you’d felt that way, that an emotion such as that had seeped into your very soul. You didn’t like it.

Levi called your name. He held your chin and raised your head. “Is everything alright?”

You pulled from his touch. “I change when I am with you and I am unsure of it all.” You shook your head. “Forget I said that.” You handed him your wrapped gift. “This is a thank you and sorry. Thank you for your company and for buying me things. Sorry for crying and being emotional. A lot of emotions have been stirred up inside me. You have changed me, or perhaps awoken the real me.” You hummed in thought. “Either way, I have not acted properly.”

He tilted his head as he processed your words. “Were you, perchance, jealous just now?”

You blushed bright red. “Wh-What?”

He smiled a little as you mumbled words. “It’s alright, I am teasing.” He unwrapped the gift and admired it. “This is wonderful, thank you.” He tied it on and smiled. “I will treasure it.”

“It’s not as extravagant as what you normally have. I cannot afford gold or silver things.”

“I adore it.”

You smiled before yawning a little. “I must get back. Do you need to stay?”

“No.”

You hurried along to the collection spot. “Then we’ll go home together.”

Levi hummed at the mention of going home with you. “Sure.”

You sighed as you waited and smiled when Robert turned up to drop people off. “Hello, Robert.”

He tapped his hat. “Miss, Sir, welcome aboard. I’ll take you back to the palace.”

Levi lifted you onto the carriage before climbing on and sitting next to you. “I enjoyed today.”

You yawned again. “Me too. Again, I am sorry for crying.”

“You should never be sorry for feeling something.”

You rubbed your eyes. “Okay, but still.”

He placed his hand on your back. “You cried because you were worried about money. You are not used to having much and being with someone well off is new to you. Just know that if you ever want something or need it, I will buy it for you. Just ask.”

You smiled a little. “You’re too kind to me.”

“I should be kinder. You do so much for me and my family. I know it’s just a job, but still.”

You hummed and leaned against Levi with your eyes closed. “More…than…a job.”

Levi blushed at your sleepy words. He looked down at you but saw you were out like a light. He sighed and put his arm around you to keep you close for the rest of the journey. He just wished it lasted forever.

OH MY GOSH HAPPY PRIIIIIIDE!!!

Warning, for this month only, I will be aggressively reblogging ever cute pride thing I see. Sorry if that bothers you, but PRIDE!

Ok, I'm good now.

I'm a Disney girl, so I'm gonna rant about how gay it is.

First off! Cinderella.

Ok guys, the amount of hate this movie gets kills me. DON'T GET ME WRONG, the Disney movies created around this time were pretty sexist and had a common theme of the princess being saved by the prince, but this girl just wanted to party. She wasn't thinking as much about the prince, but was instead just excited to dress up and get out of the house. She just wants to party! She was not committed to that prince, she was just experiencing something new, and she did run from him. He's like that first crush that you think is the greatest until you realize that you have really poor taste.

Neeext, Sleeping beauty!

Guys. She's an EXTREMELY sheltered teenager who is taught that men are attractive, end of story. The only women she's ever been exposed to were those loopy fairies she was raised by. SHE WAS RAISED BY WEIRD FAIRIES. Anyone who can opera sing to woodland creatures is queer in my eyes. I mean, I'd totally do that, I HAVE done that with stuffed animals before (though I could never sing like her, honestly SLAY), she's queer. By the way, when the movie takes place, SHE IS 16. While some people do find someone they can spend the rest of their life with at that age, most are still exploring dating and figuring themself out around then.

And finally, Snow white.

What I just said about singing to woodland creatures, just copy and paste that over here. Also, this girl's 'prince charming' stumbled upon her in a coffin in the middle of some forest, and went, 'oh, hey, imma kiss this corpse.' Ummmmm.... What??? Like, ugh, are you really that desperate? Snow White had no choice, she is a refugee and poisoned, she literally cannot stop him from kissing her. She was vibing with her short hair and merry whistling, if she's not at least 30% gay, then she's aro/ace. That seems like the aro/ace dream, leave the poor woman in peace. (She literally adopted strange large-nosed children, what more do you need to hear?)

As for the princes.

They are all prince charming BECAUSE THEY ARE MARRIED. In the movie, you can tell that Cinderella's prince was putting marriage off. He is a closeted gay man who just wants to live life the way he prefers. Aroura's prince was engaged to her since the day she was born (he was 4). He has no choice in the matter whatsoever. And Snow White's prince? Nah, he freaks me out. At least with sleeping beauty, she was very clearly cursed, and the Prince kissed her to save her (though that's still giving creep vibes). Snow White's prince may have been influenced by the dwarfs, but, um, you know you're desperate when you start listening to strange garden gnomes for love advice. (Though I do kinda love those guys.)

Tales Of Fairyland

Ao3 link here Tales Of Fairyland - Chapter 14 - Princessmh9 - Original Work [Archive of Our Own]

Authors note I know last chapter it was said that it been a moon when a couple of chapters ago it was four moons it was mistake from last chapter. I meant to say six moons instead of one and that has been fixed. Sorry for any confusion.

Chapter 14: Looming Darkness

{Nixon smiles as he steps back to admire Starlessia throne. The throne, a true masterpiece of artistry and enchantment, dominated the room with its magnificence. It was fashioned from a single massive piece of deep ebony wood, polished to a lustrous sheen. The high, intricately-carved backrest resembled a pair of immense wings, with feathers delicately etched into the wood, each one so lifelike it seemed ready to take flight. The armrests were adorned with jeweled inlays that sparkled like stars against the dark wood, and upon closer inspection, they revealed constellations in a breathtaking display of craftsmanship. Moonstone accents, set into the armrests and backrest, emitted a soft, ethereal glow that bathed the throne in a gentle, ever-shifting radiance. At the center of the backrest, a stunning amethyst gemstone, large and multifaceted, was set into a carved recess, its rich purple hues seeming to hold a piece of the night sky itself. This focal point imbued the throne with an otherworldly aura, casting subtle beams of violet light throughout the room.

The seat of the throne was cushioned with the softest midnight blue velvet, embroidered with intricate patterns of silver thread that glistened as though woven from starlight. On either side of the cushion, there were two small compartments, discreetly hidden beneath carved panels, containing hidden drawers for the storage of precious scrolls, artifacts, or other royal treasures. Intricate symbols and sigils, symbolizing the royal lineage and the power of the Court of Shadows, adorned the arms and legs of the throne. It was a majestic and imposing sight, fit for a princess destined for great things in the realm of magic.}

{Nixon} It's a masterpiece, fit for a princess. The craftsmanship is exceptional.

{Sablethorn} We wanted nothing but the best for our daughter.

{Nocturnia} Starlessia, dear, what do you think of your new throne?

{Starlessia, with a smile} It's beautiful, Mother, Father. Thank you.

{Willow and Aurora, still uncertain, watch with curiosity from the side.}

{Willow, whispering to Aurora} I can't believe this is our life now.

{Aurora} We'll figure it out, Willow. We always do.

{Sablethorn, addressing Starlessia} Tomorrow, we'll begin your training with more focus on your powers. You have great potential, and we want you to harness it fully.

{Starlessia nods, determined} I'll do my best, Mother.}

{Nocturnia} We have to ger your corrnation dress made for you and your tiara as well my dear daughter. We might as well get clothes made for your friends as well

{Starlessia, her eyes filled with excitement} Yes, Mother! I want everything to be perfect for the coronation. And please, make sure Willow and Aurora have beautiful dresses too. They're my friends, and they deserve to feel special.

{Nocturnia} Of course, darling. We'll make sure everything is ready for your big day.

{Sablethorn} We want this to be a celebration to remember, not just for you but for all of us.

{Starlessia} Thank you, Mother, Father. I'm so grateful for everything you've done for me.

{Nocturnia} You're our precious Starlessia, and we would move the heavens and the earth to make you happy.

{Sablethorn} And we will, my dear. Now, let's start planning your coronation in earnest. There's much to be done.

{Aroura} Elara I mean Starlessia me and brother don’t think this is a good idea. You only seven stars old.

{Starlessia} So what? You are both ten stars old.

{Willow} We may be ten stars old but we were born three stars before you.

{Starlessia} It's just a few stars' difference. Besides, I have the magic to be a good ruler, and I want to make our kingdom with a cold hand.

{Willow} Elara, this is the Court of Shadows. These are not your real parents.

{Starlessia, growing more serious} That’s a lie. They are my real parents. And the Court of Shadows is my home.

{Aurora} Wake up Elara. Your under a spell of some sort.

{Starlessia her eyes glowing bright red as the air crackles with powers and shadows.

{Willow} Elara, we don't recognize you anymore. Something's changed you, and it's not just growing up. We won't give up on you, though.

{Starlessia, her eyes glowing red with power} You don't understand. This is who I am now. And anyone who opposes me will face the consequences.

{Aurora} Elara, please! We're your friends!

{Starlessia} I told you Elara is dead

{Willow, tears welling up in his eyes} Elara, we won't accept that. We'll find a way to break whatever hold they have on you. You're our friend, and we love you.

{Aurora, her voice filled with determination} You can fight this, Elara. We won't give up on you.

{Starlessia, her powers intensifying, sends dark energy toward Willow and Aurora, causing them to stumble back.}

{Willow, struggling to resist the magic} Elara, please, remember who you are!

{Aurora, her voice trembling but resolute} We're your friends, Elara, and we believe in you!

{Sablethorn and Nocturnia, watching the display of their daughter's power, exchange a proud glance.}

{Sablethorn, a sinister smile} Yes, Starlessia, let your power flow. Embrace your true destiny.

{Nocturnia, her eyes gleaming with anticipation} You're becoming stronger with each passing moment, my dear. Embrace the darkness.

{Starlessia closed her eyes as the darkness surrounded her.} {Starlessia} Elara was a weakling. A freek. A nothing. But now that Starlessia is here she has taken over this weak body and using it for the greatness of the shadows.

{Willow and Aurora, their determination unwavering, continue to reach out to Elara, despite the darkness that surrounds her.}

{Willow, her voice filled with emotion} Elara, don't listen to the lies! You're not weak, and you're not a freak. You're our friend, and we love you just the way you are!

{Aurora, tears streaming down her face} Starlessia may have taken over, but we won't give up on you. We'll keep fighting until you come back to us.

{Sablethorn and Nocturnia watch with pride, their daughter's transformation into Starlessia becoming more complete.}

{Nocturnia, a wicked smile on her face} Yes, embrace the shadows, my dear. With your power, we will rule the Court of Shadows and beyond.

{Starlessia, her eyes cold and determined, stands tall amidst the darkness.}

{Starlessia} Elara is gone, and she won't be coming back. Now, I am Starlessia, the ruler of the Court of Shadows. And now, bow to your Princess.

{She uses her dark powers on the twins as they watch in horror as they were forced to bow to her. Willow and Aurora, unable to resist the dark power that Starlessia wields, are forced to bow before her. Their hearts ache as they see their friend consumed by darkness. Starlessia, a sinister smile on her face, revels in her newfound power.}

{Starlessia} Yes, that's right. Bow to your Princess, for I am now the ruler of the Court of Shadows, and you will obey me.

{Sablethorn and Nocturnia stand nearby, their faces filled with satisfaction as their plan unfolds.}

{Sablethorn, his voice filled with triumph} Excellent, my daughter. You have embraced your destiny.

{Nocturnia, her eyes gleaming with pride} With this power, we shall dominate the shadows and beyond.

{As Starlessia revels in her newfound power and control, Willow and Aurora remain bound by the dark enchantment, unable to break free. The atmosphere in the room grows heavy with darkness, and the shadows seem to dance to Starlessia's will.}

{Starlessia} Now, my loyal subjects, you shall serve me well in the Court of Shadows. Our reign will be glorious, and all shall bow before us.

{Willow and Aurora, their heads bowed, are unable to speak or resist.}

{Sablethorn and Nocturnia, their faces filled with satisfaction, exchange a glance of approval.}

{Sablethorn} Our dominion over the shadows has begun. Together, we shall rule with an iron grip.

{Nocturnia} And none shall dare to defy us.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

{On the edges of the outlands of Fairyland a group of dear and unicorn and Pegasus were grazing peacefully when they looked up and started to gallop away in fear as a blackness as cold as the shadows starts to overtake the meadow. As the darkness creeps across the meadow, the deer, unicorns, and pegasi flee in a panicked stampede, their hooves pounding against the ground. The once peaceful and vibrant meadow is now engulfed in a chilling black void, erasing all traces of life and beauty.

The darkness continues to spread, leaving a trail of desolation in its wake. It seeps into the trees, turning their leaves to ash, and extinguishing the delicate glow of fireflies that once danced among the branches. Birds take to the sky in a frantic escape, their melodious songs silenced by the encroaching shadow. The very air grows heavy with a sense of foreboding as the land succumbs to this malevolent force. In the heart of the meadow, a single flower, its petals the color of moonlight, resists the encroaching darkness, its fragile beauty a symbol of hope amidst the despair. The source of this ominous darkness remains shrouded in mystery, but its presence signals a threat to the very essence of Fairyland itself.

In the far end of Enchanted Forest Lindir looks out on his balcony of his castle with worry. He can feel the unease in the air. Something was not right, and it was something bad. Albina walks up to him in worry.}

{Albina} Time it is running out my love. We need to save Elara as soon as we can.

{Lindir} Already the shadows are getting cocky and getting closer and closer.

{Albina} I wish Reed would hurry up with the answer to break that geas. I can't stand this no more.

{Lindir} I know you can't my love. But think of our son and daughter-in-law. I fear that even after we battle the Court of Shadows, we won't see the last of them.

{Albina} What are you saying Lindir?

{Lindir} I mean that I am afraid there might be one more battle ahead. If Elara becomes consumed by their dark influence, she may never be herself again. It's as Merlin warned us many, many, many stars ago. We may be free of the darkness but when we are the shadows will come with more power than ever. I am afraid Merlin saw what we are facing all those stars ago.

{Albina listens to Lindir's words with a heavy heart, her worry deepening as he speaks.}

{Albina} Are you saying that even if we succeed in battling the Court of Shadows and rescuing Elara, she might never be the same again?

{Lindir} Yes, my love. I fear that once darkness has touched her soul, it may leave a lasting mark. And Merlin's words, from many stars ago, resonate with me now. He may have foreseen the challenges we are facing and those that may lie ahead.

{Albina and Lindir stand on the balcony, gazing out at the Enchanted Forest, knowing that their love and determination will be tested in ways they never imagined. The fate of their family and their beloved kingdom hangs in the balance, and they are prepared to face whatever challenges come their way to protect the light and magic of Fairyland.}

{Reed, the royal healer, sits in his chamber, surrounded by ancient tomes and scrolls. He has been tirelessly researching a way to break the powerful geas that binds Elara. His brow furrows in frustration as he flips through pages and mutters incantations under his breath.}

{Reed, sighing} This geas is unlike anything I've ever encountered. It's as if the very essence of darkness is woven into it.

{He continues to study the intricate patterns and symbols in the ancient texts, searching for a solution that can save their beloved princess from the clutches of the Court of Shadows. Time is of the essence, and Reed knows that every moment counts in their race against the encroaching darkness.}

{Reed, muttering to himself} There must be a way... a weakness in the geas... something overlooked...

{As he delves deeper into his research, Reed's determination to find a solution only grows stronger. The room is filled with the soft glow of candlelight, casting eerie shadows on the walls as he works tirelessly. The weight of Elara's absence and the impending threat of the Court of Shadows hang heavy in the air. Suddenly, as he turns a page in one of the ancient scrolls, Reed's eyes widen in realization.}

{Reed excitedly} Of course how can I be so stupid. She is next in line to the powers of Merlin just like her mother is.

{Reed's excitement is palpable as he pieces together the puzzle. He knows that Elara's unique lineage holds the key to breaking the geas. With newfound determination, he meticulously studies the scrolls and texts that reveal the connection between Elara and her family's magical legacy. As the candles burn low and the night turns into dawn, Reed finally uncovers the ancient incantation that will unlock Elara's true potential and break the geas that bind her. He whispers the words, feeling the power surge through him as he understands the significance of what he's discovered.}

{Reed, determined} This is it. The key to unlocking Elara's true magic and breaking the geas. I must share this with Genevieve and the others immediately.

{With the newfound knowledge firmly in his grasp, Reed hurries to find Genevieve and the rest of the group, eager to set in motion the plan that will lead to Elara's rescue and the defeat of the Court of Shadows.}

{The weight of despair and worry fills the throne room as Genevieve, Ash, Titania, and Oberon sit in silence. The absence of Elara and the twins looms large, casting a shadow over the once vibrant and lively place. The tears that have been shed have left traces of sorrow on their faces, and their hearts ache with longing for their loved ones. Oberon clenches his fist in frustration, while Ash's jaw is set with determination. They both share the same desire to bring Elara and the twins back safely. The waiting is agonizing, but they know that Reed is their best hope to find a way to break the geas and rescue the missing children.}

{Genevieve, her voice trembling} I can't bear this emptiness any longer. I miss them so much.

{Titania, her eyes filled with tears, reaches out to comfort Genevieve} We all do, my dear. We must hold on to hope and trust in Reed's abilities. He will find a way.

{The room remains heavy with the somber atmosphere, but the resolve to reunite with Elara and the twins remains unwavering, bolstered by their trust in Reed and their determination to overcome the darkness that has taken hold of their beloved Fairyland. The door opens and Reed rushes in.}

{Ash} Reed you better have good news for us.

{Reed, a glimmer of hope in his eyes, steps forward with a sense of urgency.}

{Reed} I believe I've found a way to break the geas on Elara. It's not going to be easy, and it will require a great deal of magic and preparation, but it's possible.

{Genevieve's eyes light up with hope.} Tell us what we need to do, Reed. We'll do anything to bring Elara and the twins back.

{Reed} We need something that is associated with Elara and her lineage.

{Genevieve} Excalibur. You need Excalibur.

{Reed} Excalibur, yes, that could be the key. The sword of great power, deeply connected to her lineage. We'll need it for the ritual.

{Genevieve} I go and fetch it.

{She stands up and hurriers out of the room to her and Ash’s chambers. There on the wall was Excalbur with the Heart of Lumnia embedded in the hilt. She walks over and pulls it off the wall. Genevieve carefully retrieves Excalibur, feeling its immense power as she holds it in her hands. The Heart of Lumnia embedded in the hilt shimmers with a brilliant light, a testament to the sword's extraordinary magic. With Excalibur in her possession, she returns to the court chamber, where Reed awaits.}

{Reed} Excellent, Princess Genevieve. Now that we have Excalibur, we can proceed with the preparations for the ritual. But be warned, this will not be an easy task. Breaking a geas of this magnitude is fraught with risks.

{Genevieve} We understand, Reed. We have to try, for Elara and the twins.

{The court members gather around Excalibur, ready to embark on the difficult journey to rescue their beloved princess and her friends.}
