Ariella & Callum

Mentions:Farim[@Lavaboi] : Anastasia @Princess

Rumors spread fast in Sorian, even without the gossip papers being passed out. It wasn’t long before Callum heard all about how he’d been seen sneaking around the woods with Ariella. He knew that family well enough to know that was causing trouble for Ari, mostly his fault since he was the one with guards watching him all the time. Despite how bad yesterday had felt, Ari was the bright point, she had taken the time to cheer him up and shared her personal oasis with him. He wasn’t sure how to return that; he spent most of his time in the palace library or a tavern. It couldn’t be the tavern, the longer he was there the more he’d drink and the worse he’d be. Hanging out in the palace library would also mean at least one guard staring at him the entire time which made him cringe just to think about it.

So there was a lot of pacing. A lot of writing letters that got crumpled up, tossed in the fireplace, and burned. He couldn’t figure out why he was feeling this awkward just trying to write a letter alone in his room but a couple of drinks eased the feeling. He settled on the space observatory; it didn’t seem like anyone could turn that into a scandal and the mandatory guards could watch him well enough from a distance.

Sorian’s space observatory was opened for summer tours, what better way to impress all their guest than by showing off their new telescope? The large dome-roofed tower was an impressive sight in itself. Large windows, a massive skylight, and all manner of astronomy instruments and models inside. It felt a lot like a public library, a place of knowledge and insight, and its doors were opened to anyone who wanted to venture in. Right around sunset, as the bright colors from the day began to fade into dark hues of blue, Callum paced around the entrance of the space observatory.

Ari had received a letter from Callum the morning after the explosive fight with her parents. It couldn’t have come at a better time but also couldn’t have been worse either. Thankfully many of the help around the manor were partial to Ari over her parents so when the letter arrived with a seal and her name on it they hid it rather well. Having snuck the letter to Ari, she opened it uncertain of who it may be from.

The letter appeared as if it were written in a hurry or perhaps nerves as the writing seemed scribbled and rather quick handed. The letter was simple just normal pleasantries and a request to meet at the Space observatory. It was signed by Callum.

Ari didn’t waste much time, thankfully for her all the pruning and outfit changes had been done much earlier in the day. She headed off to the meet-up spot with the letter in tow nervous that perhaps something was wrong. She couldn’t help but wonder if the rumors had reached him, they had already reached her parents so it wasn't out of the realm of possibilities. Ariella started to nervous now.

As she walked towards the building she was greeted by the sight of Callum pacing around the front. She walked up nervously, the thoughts of what he may have heard spinning around as she expected another explosive conversation.

“Hello..” she said her voice soft as she tried to gauge the atmosphere of this meeting. “ I hope I’m not late.”

“Ari!” Callum’s smile lit up, she didn’t look mad at him, so he offered an explanation. “Apparently someone saw us going out to the woods. That’s probably my fault,” he paused to point out exactly where a handful of guards were standing around watching him. “They follow me everywhere now, it’s very dramatic. Anyway, I am sorry if these rumors caused you any trouble but I wanted to check in and see if you wanted to look at stars with me.”

Ariella's shoulders relaxed as she felt a breath escape her lips. She had been so nervous riding up here she thought he was going to be upset with her.

His smile and the way he said her name so excitedly made a smile appear on her face aswell, matching his own energy. It was refreshing to have someone excited to see her. “Yes…The news has traveled and I got an earful about it last night. They also found my - collection. They were accusing me of all sorts of things. However, I just told them it was some random man I met at a bar, I didn’t feel it right to drag your name into all of that. she waved her hand around “ Lets save that conversation for later though, I would love to look at the stars!” She took a second to take in her surroundings “I’ve actually never been here before, the building is beautiful.”

“They know about the book…club?” He asked with a noticeable pause between the two words, wondering if her parents had gotten their hands on Starcatcher. If they had, even if they didn’t suspect Ari was using that book it would be bad. And if they did suspect Ari was using that book it would be a lot worse than just bad.

“Right, stars, I’ve been here a couple of times, it’s pretty great. Probably not as great as your spot and we definitely have to wear shoes but much less stuffy than Prince’s Court or fancy balls.” He gestured to the tower and lead them both inside.

Inside the observatory were several bookshelves dedicated solely to astronomy. The walls not adorned with large windows were decorated with star charts and paintings of the night sky. Models of faraway moons and planets dangled from the ceiling just out of reach for even the tallest visitors. Smaller telescopes sat around the windows and people lined up to look through them. A twisting staircase led up to a much larger telescope, probably not the best in world as the many liked to claim, but the finest in Caesonia.

“So I heard from Farim you guys had a very eventful dinner.”

Ariella followed beside Callum taking in the beauty of the building. Her eyes lit up at the copious amounts of books with beautiful bindings and engravings on the spines and they sat neatly on their shelves. “ They don’t know about the book club..no” she said as she continued to look around. “Thankfully it was all the other things they found just some beautiful plants and such.” She tried to keep it as vague as possible knowing he would likely pick up on it. “ They thought that something regarding the book club was taking place however, it's why I kept your name far away from it…Although, I will be doing a lot of reading soon. “

“I appreciate that, but feel free to drag me into it if I can help.” Cal offered. “All for one, one for all, right?”

She took a long sigh, the whole situation got so out of hand so quickly that Ari still had yet to make any sense of the matter. She was in survival mode during that whole conversation trying to find a way out of it, however now she was trying to find a solution to a growing problem and using Starcatcher was likely her only option.

“ It is a beautiful spot, thank you for showing me. I’ve been put in a shoe-wearing prison though so I suppose it's alright. “ She offered him a smile. “ I’ve been told that if I'm caught without them any time soon I will likely not be seeing the sunshine for a long time after that.” Ari’s voice dropped as she told him. Feeling that connection was what kept her going and to lose that would be a painful death sentence to her.

Ari walked over to one of the telescopes and looked through it, although the sun hadn’t gone down enough to see many of the stars it was still rather magical just the views that could be seen from this place.

“A shoe-wearing prison?” He repeated the odd punishment aloud, wrapping his head around how upsetting that would be for Ari. “Do you think they’d make an exception if say, a prince stopped by, with his very intimidating babysitters who would certainly be making sure nothing shady was happening, personally asked if you could go barefoot hiking with him?” He wondered out loud, and he knew enough about Dutchess Edwards to know that the look on her face when presented with such a request would be priceless.

Ari bit back a chuckle as she continued to look through the telescope. “ I know it may sound silly…” she said regarding her shoe situation. “It's the only real escape I have…” She pulled back from the telescope and offered him a smile “ However, I think that would really put her in her place, I would love to see the shock - “ she giggled slightly at the thought of her mothers faces. “I really couldn’t ask that of you there is already so much heat on me because of the book club that I really would be worried if somehow that was brought onto you.” Her voice was genuine with concern. Her mother would run with any gossip she could get her hands on, twisting it in ways that Ariella never knew what the actual truth was.

“If it’s important to you, then it’s not silly. And you didn’t ask, I asked, to make sure it wouldn’t cause more trouble for you. I can handle the heat, but I think doing something even semi-normal with someone who isn’t nefarious, would draw heat off of me.” Cal pointed out, he took a moment to look through the telescope as well. He was certain his family would just love to hear that he was spending time with Lady Ariella Edwards, who came from the right sort of family, instead of drinking at the tavern or sneaking off to illegal parties. They could all think what they wanted and he could hang out with Ari who didn’t act like other nobles he knew and didn’t expect him to act either.

Ariella smiled trying to hide her excitement “ Alright, sounds like a plan.”
“ How are you doing by the way? Sitting here talking about me so much, are you doing alright with everything? Did you and Ana end up speaking? “ she asked curiously remembering that night in the tavern. “OH! Before I forget-” she jumped slightly before reaching into her bag that hung loosely around her side. She pulled out a book that appeared to be well-read. She handed it out towards him, the cover would feel familiar as the book was the one she was reading in the Tavern that same night. “ I promised to share it with you when I was finished. Maybe you would be interested in a read…” She smiled at Cal with a grin.

“The tragedy?” He asked, excited as he accepted the gift. Callum felt the slight wear on the spine and the pages that had lost their crispness and softened from all the times they had been flipped through. Not a new book, one that had been well loved and read more than once since its printing, elevating it from just an object to a cherished object. “Thank you, I’ll read it soon.” He promised.

” You’re welcome. It had a nice ending actually…was surprised.” She pulled back from the telescope and shifted her focus back toward Callum.

“And I haven’t talked to Ana, not sure I really want to.” He admitted. “Why? Did she say something to you?

☽Personality☾

☽Due to her traumatic past and the haunting presence of ghosts, Sirena's treatment of people around her is marked by a deep-seated fear and apprehension. The torment she endured as a child has left her emotionally scarred, making it difficult for her to trust others and form meaningful connections. Sirena's interactions with people are often guarded and distant, as she struggles with the constant fear of being hurt or betrayed. The darkness, a reminder of her past horrors, intensifies her anxiety, causing her to withdraw further. Despite her fear, there remains a flicker of empathy within Sirena's heart, as she recognizes the pain and suffering in others, mirroring her own torment. However, the ghosts that accompany her serve as a constant reminder of the dangers lurking in the shadows, reinforcing her hesitance to fully embrace those around her.

Her encounters with people often trigger a heightened sense of fear and unease, causing her to instinctively withdraw and remain guarded. In situations where she feels threatened or unsafe, Sirena's natural survival instincts kick in, allowing her to become adept at tracking individuals and blending into her surroundings, effectively hiding in plain sight. While she is not inherently a fighter, her experiences have taught her to be resourceful and to defend herself when necessary. On rare occasions, she may reluctantly wield a dagger, relying on her agility and quick thinking to protect herself. Nevertheless, her aversion to violence remains, as she understands the pain it inflicts all too well. Sirena's reactions are often driven by a desire to evade danger and find solace in solitude.

Sirena's mind is a complex labyrinth of shattered memories, lingering trauma, and the constant presence of spectral whispers. Her thoughts are often clouded by the haunting echoes of her past, causing her to experience bouts of anxiety, paranoia, and a perpetual sense of unease. Her interactions with the living world are tinged with apprehension, as she carries the weight of her past torment, making it challenging for her to trust or form deep connections. Sirena's thinking is marked by a heightened awareness of her surroundings, always on guard for potential threats. While her mind may be plagued by darkness, there exists a glimmer of resilience and a flicker of empathy, reminding her of her own vulnerability and the pain she endured. Sirena's thoughts often oscillate between a longing for a sense of purpose and family and a constant battle against the haunting demons that reside within her own psyche.☾

☽History☾
☽Sirena was once a winter fairy who was vibrant, energetic, and full of life. She loved magic and was eager to grow up into a beautiful fairy. She had loving parents and a warm home, she was safe and protected.

However, Sirena was snatched when she was a child by the minions of Zalthraxis. While in Zalthraxis's clutches, Sirena became a victim of relentless torture. His minions subjected her to unspeakable horrors, their sadistic actions leaving indelible scars upon her body, mind, and soul. The pain and suffering were so intense that her once vibrant hair turned stark white, and her once expressive eyes transformed into an icy blue hue, mirroring the coldness that had been forced upon her.

As the torment wore on, Sirena's fragile mind crumbled under the weight of her anguish. The incessant abuse caused her to spiral into a state of madness, disconnecting her from reality.

In her fractured state, she found herself able to see and communicate with the tormented spirits that were trapped between worlds. Ghostly apparitions and anguished souls became a constant presence, their haunting whispers and sorrowful cries forever echoing in her ears.
Yet, Sirena's life was a tragic symphony of sorrow. The ghosts that plagued her every step, their presence an inescapable reminder of her tortured past, continued to haunt her relentlessly. They whispered tales of lost loves, broken dreams, and unfulfilled desires, their spectral presence serving as a constant torment, driving her further into the depths of her own madness.

Life after the torture Sirena was left broken and lost, forced to navigate a world that felt alien and cruel. The scars of her past torments left her incapable of trusting others, and she found solace in the shadows, living on the streets and scraping by in the most meager of ways.

In her desperate struggle to survive, Sirena discovered an unlikely talent for scavenging and unearthing forgotten treasures from the darkest corners of the world. She ventured into abandoned ruins, cursed forests, and desolate catacombs, scouring these forsaken places in search of trinkets and artifacts. She became a wandering merchant, selling these eerie finds to those who dared seek her out, often attracting those who were drawn to the mysteries of the occult.☾

Time had faded since her previous visit, Sirena had been in Port Vanarosa for at least a month. Seeking solace in the seedier corners of towns, cities, and ports, she catered to the shady characters, offering an array of items acquired through chance discoveries, brazen thefts, or her own craftsmanship. A delicate dance with hiding in the shadows sustained her, affording sustenance and means of travel, while her uncanny knack for blending with unusual hideaways ensured safe passage when necessary. Decrepit barns and abandoned buildings sheltered her during her travels. If something was not suitable, Sirena would find solace within the woods safe away from the towns.

Yet, traversing treacherous paths came as an expected burden for Sirena. Alone, she wandered through realms, burdened by her very nature as a dark fairy. Her existence attracted hate and loathing. Verbal onslaughts, projectiles hurled with disdain, and physical assaults became the theme of her journey, staining her days and nights with anguish both in pain and loneliness.

And this time was no different.

The break of dawn offered a fleeting reprieve from the nightmarish shadows that enveloped her world. As the first rays of sunlight penetrated the stable's splintered wooden planks, its feeble glow caressed Sirena's delicate features. Her moon-struck hair, glowed its white glow as her pale skin nearly blended into her white dress. She wore a black cloak that hugged her body tightly was the cold night air. Her head rested upon a modest mound of hay, her eyes tracing the spectral dance of light as it ascended, casting a sense of hope. In this brief moment, the clamor of her restless mind dulled, granting her a semblance of peace.

As the sun ascended, its light cascaded over Sirena's emaciated form, illuminating the stains of blood that stained her tattered dress. As the stream of light traveled, it unveiled a crimson gash, etched upon her swollen lips, as a reminder of the night's event. The mottled hues of black and purple painted her bruised face, the fresh wounds adorning her right eye.

The night prior, as Sirena concluded her shop for the evening, a feeling of darkness engulfed her surroundings, invoking the presence of things not welcomed.

The nocturnal hours, once a veil of serenity, became a reminder of murmurs and unseen terrors. Seeking relief from the voices and visions that plagued her, she sought solace in a tavern, where copious amounts of ale became her refuge—a means to silence the chaos in her mind, to lull herself to sleep. It was a habit she had acquired, a ritual born out of necessity.

Having enjoyed her evening deeply, she stumbled back toward her current home, the barn that had briefly become her sanctuary, only to encounter a group of men on her way.

Like a sack of potatoes, they tossed her about callously, their bully-like behavior escalating into a sickeningly personal assault. The limits of her welcome had been met; it was time to flee. The men continued to kick and punch her. It wasn’t until she collapsed to her knees that they decided to leave out of fear of being caught…

Suppressing the night's haunting memories, Sirena hastily gathered her possessions, her mind now fixed upon leaving. If she could reach the docks before the light fully claimed the sky, her chances of boarding a ship and finding refuge in its hidden recesses would increase. The art of sailing had become an unwritten expertise of hers, as her presence remained undiscovered to this point. Her comfort in voyages grew, disembarking at ports and lingering until her instincts summoned her onward. It was then that Sirena would find a new ship to board, stowing herself away for weeks. She would be active while the crew slept, creeping around to find food and other things she needed, returning back to the original place before anyone would notice.

Nearing the docks, she moved with thought as she tried to draw little attention to herself as her gaze, a calculating dance, began assessing the vessels tethered within the docks. Amidst the shadows, her eyes fell upon the Saltrunner—an imposing craft that exuded an aura of dormant power. Its seemingly vacant deck and lack of a vigilant crew presented an opportunity too enticing to ignore. Silently melding into the obscurity of her surroundings, Sirena slipped aboard the ship, her cloak shrouding her form, rendering her almost unnoticeable.

Finding her way under a staircase, She slipped under them covering herself with her cloak so as to not be seen. Her nervous breath intertwined with the salt-tinged air that hung heavy around her. But as the stillness draped her like a shroud, a chilling voice emerged, an ethereal whisper that clawed its way into her consciousness. "Sirena... Suuuuuuhhhh-reeeeeeee-naaaaaaaa," it slithered, tormenting her senses, compelling her to recoil, to fold in upon herself, seeking refuge within the sanctuary of her own knees as she rested her chin on them.

Closing her eyes and taking a deep breath she waited.

Ariella Edwards & Yosri Dali Kadir

Dali's outfit

Ariella woke up early, her mind heavy with the events of the previous night. Hoping for a restful sleep, she had expected the morning to bring clarity, but instead, it only added fog to her thoughts. As the day began, her handmaids meticulously attended to her, tending to every aspect of her physical appearance - plucking, shaving, trimming, and moisturizing - all under the watchful eye of her mother, who insisted on such rituals.

Throughout the entire process, Ariella's mind was consumed by one thought: her mother's newly imposed rule forbidding her from venturing anywhere, particularly without wearing shoes.

This restriction threatened to sever her deep connection to nature, something she cherished dearly. Defiance welled up within her, a determination to preserve that connection at any cost. Even if someone were to forcibly remove her feet, she would likely find another way. That fact was not going to change.

The afternoon spent with Callum reinforced the importance of staying true to herself. It seemed he understood the significance of that connection. Ariella had temporarily set aside her magical studies out of fear, but now she saw them as a refuge from the suffocating societal expectations imposed by her family. She felt fortunate that her family believed her story, sparing Callum from any repercussions. However, the morning paper had cast doubt on their encounter, falsely claiming that he had been the gentleman she had accompanied through the gardens. Ariella knew her family would never believe that she had been alone with a prince. She had chosen not to disclose the truth to protect Callum, even if it meant enduring less pressure at home, or what she hesitated to call "home."

With the sun barely peeking over the horizon, Ariella discreetly slipped out of her manor. Today's agenda was uncertain, but she had set her sights on the beach. The irresistible thought of spending an afternoon with her toes in the water, without societal judgment, tugged at her.

Lost in her thought she walked, oblivious to her surroundings, until she collided with a large stranger. The impact jolted her, her foot entangled in her dress, and she stumbled. Grasping for support, she instinctively reached out and found herself steadied by the stranger's arm. It was only when her balance was restored that she fully realized what had transpired.

"Oh! I am so sorry!" Ariella exclaimed, her voice tinged with panic as she tried to the identity of the person she had nearly knocked over.

"I got you" Dali said surprised as the woman that had bumped into him, came to a crash. Destination, face first on the gravel road. Luckily she managed to find the arm he had moved towards her, in an effort to catch the red haired beauty.

The morning had been such an temptingly beautiful one, Dali just had to get out for a morning walk to the beach. That, and he probably get an playfull lecture from his brother at breakfast, for the rather special herbs he had mixed into his brothers water pipe. Dali hoped Farim was able to smell colours and taste scents at one point. His stif brother needed to relaxe every now and then. So , deciding to postpone the lecture or even make him forget it, Dali left his room.

The wind blowing in his back, the gods walking besides him. His every step closer to the goal they had intended for him to find today. And it seemed his goal came in the shape of a lady. One with the same features of his beloved mother. Green eye's as piercing as emeralds, and blazing hair. As red as dragon fire.

Her face had collided head first with his bare chest. He was not really dressed for formal occasions. Since he did not plan to attend one. He walked on bare feet, his shoes stuffed in the small duffle bag he wore on his back. Years of traveling like this had made it a habit to walk as such. It felt better, closer to the gods in a way.

"Inshalla, your feet are walking a few steps ahead from your mind" he smiled and helped her find her balance, before letting go of her. The lady in question wore fine clothing, the best of silks and took great care of her appearance. She reminded him a little bit of a well loved doll.

Ariella let out a nervous laugh “Ah..Yes…that is actually quite common for me.” she continued to nervously laugh “ So sorry about that, I must be half asleep still”

"no need to feel sorry,sayida" he called her lady as he felt he should. He had gotten some etiquette lessons, and he had remembered some of them. Not much, but somethings he did. His mother would scold him for behaving improper. He laughed silently, since he normally did not care for such things. But her appearance reminded him to much of his mother, not to remember her words.

"sayida, are you alright? You bumped into me with quite a step to your pace. You didn't hurt your nose?" and without thinking he went to check her nose. Touching it to see of she would show a sign of pain. If she did, he would take her to a doctor. He was a Fakir, it was quite normal for him to help. Dali just forgot to remember, here… he wasn't really a spiritual leader to her people. He was probably just a strange man touching a ladies nose in her eyes.


Ariella looked at the shirtless man as her eyes widened, her normally pale complexion turning a rather bright shade of red as she realized who she had just bumped into. Although she had not met him yet, she assumed this had to be the last of the brothers from Alidasht.

“Oh-I am…um..” she stumbled on her words as she caught her balance once more. She froze as all of a sudden the strange large man was checking her nose. Her eyes crossed as she stared at him confused, too stunned to even move.

As he continued to inspect her nose her eyes darted around before talking a small step back. She offered him a smile so as to not be rude but the strange nose inspecting , bare chested, shoeless man was not what she expected to run into this morning.

“ Thank you, I am quite alright … I think my nose will live another day” she said and shrugged jokingly “ But i'm not much of a doctor.” She let the silence dance around them before a moment before she spoke again “ I wasn’t expecting anyone up this early, You must be Farims brother?” she asked uncertain however his attire seemed very Alidasht to her.

Dali pulled his hand back from her face, and adjusted his dufflebag. Pulling it back up his shoulder. He smiled as she mentioned his brother. Ah the headache he must feel waking up. The mischievous little brother in him, lived on.
"I do hope my brother has not told you to much about me" he said and took a step back. He gave her a slight bow, like that of a showman and took of a hat he was not even wearing.
"Yosri Dali, Kadir. Fakir of the free gods of Alidasht" he introduced himself and straightened his back again. His dufflebag had slid doen his shoulder yet again, and so he hoisted it back up.

"and what is the name of the desert rose I had the honor of meeting this morning?" he asked. The wind had pushed them together their was a meaning to their meeting here. "was the beach calling you you as it did to me?"

Ariella offered him a half smile as she awkwardly chuckled “ Actually, No mention of you. However he was rather occupied the time I saw him. “ Ariella couldn’t help but notice just how different all of the brothers were. Munir - Handsy , Farim - Political and Dali… well she hadn’t quite figured him out yet but his personality was certainly more free spirited then Farim. However, the three brothers certainly shared their way with words.

“ Ari -” she paused “ Ariella Edwards - Lady..Ariella Edwards.” she had a slip of the mind forgetting her titles once again. “Yes, I was heading towards the beach for the festivities. I couldn’t be bothered with sitting around sipping on tea, but I am always drawn towards the water. I couldn’t resist.”

She smiled seeing his bag that he continued to struggle with. It dawned on her that she hadn’t prepared anything to bring with her. Her mother had her so consumed with looking her best that the idea of the event being on the beach completely left her mind. Letting out a long exaggerated sigh she dropped her shoulders and looked back behind her.

“ I completely forgot to grab my stuff for the event as well…” she said with the sound of disappointment in her voice. “Oh well… I suppose it's just less to worry about” She turned her attention back to Dali. “ Are you here as well for the courting season? Or just enjoying the events?” she asked curiously as she hadn’t seen him around before.

"Water is the lifeline that keeps this entire world alive" Dali replied."To be drawn to it is only natural. The djins of this ocean must be calling to you" he touched his forhead again in respect for the djins of this place.
"there is an event here today? How intresting. I jsut arrived yesterday, so I was not aware of it"
Ariella mentioned having forgotten her belongings, so every helpfull Dali wanted to help her. "I have a blanket large enough for multiple people to sit on. If you would like, you are welcome to take a seat with me and family, if they appear today" Dali laughed audible as she mentioned the courting season.

"I am here, to flee the high expectations and to be out of sight. If I do happen to find the right person this season, so blessed be. The gods will surly hold someone for me. And if not, that is their will. Inshalla" he motioned with his hand towards the beach.
" Ariella Sayide. Will you walk with me to the oceans blue glitters?"

Ariella blinked a few times Is this guy for real? it wasn’t bad per say but he was certainly quite the character. “ Yes, there is a beach event although I'm not sure how many may be there or what may even been planned but I guess we are about to find out.” she offered him a friendly smile.

“ It seems we are here for the same purpose. "She smiled again before nodding in agreeance “ Sure, maybe walking beside you will help me avoid bumping into any future guests” she joked.
"I shall valiantly deter any unwanted future guests" Dali jokingly replied
Ariella started to walk towards the event but with each step, her feet screamed in agony. She stopped abruptly. “ Sorry, one moment.” she said while reaching down for her shoes and aggressively tore them off her feet. Her mother be damned, she wasn’t wearing heels on a beach. “ Sorry I hate wearing shoes'' Ariella then started to march, this time with a more determined pace as she headed once again towards the event.

Dali followed her for a few steps, until she excused herself for a moment. She stepped out of her shoes. Dali asked himself why she had worn heels to the beach in the first place. He sighed as he had long ago stopped to try and understand the thoughts of highborn ladies. "as you can see, I am much the same. Though decorum demands I wear shoes, but when I can" Dali gave the young lady a small wink before continuing on his step. The djin felt closer to him this way, walking connected to the earth. The wind blowing softly as the djin he was closest to, rusted in his presence. There was a meaning to their meeting, Dali just had to figure out what it was.

"so, if I may ask. Are you here to participate in this courting season?" he asked her and smiled his eternal smile. Really, if he stopped smiling, one should become worried. She had asked him the same, so he assumed he could just ask this from the lady he had just met. "as Fakir, I enjoy these seasons. Young love, lots of troubled minds that need a moment to calm. It means I can help a lot of people feel better about themselves. Talk with new people and meet intresting new friends. That is all I want in life" he said and felt the need to stretch himself for a moment. "to help people and to make new friends"

Ariella shrugged “ I suppose we are all looking for companionship but I don't believe in just picking someone based on similar interests. I want..I hope for a friend an actual companion in life. “ She paused “ Thats not to say I wont find that through the courting season however many of us are forced to be here for one reason or another. “ She stood up straight and adjusted herself “ I am sure you will make many new friends here, Lots of lovely people will be attending this event I am sure.” she offered him a smile as they approached the beach. She caught a glimpse of all the faces chatting and already enjoying their time.

“ Well looks like we have arrived, I am going to dip my feet in the water before socializing” she offered him a curtsy with her shoes still in her hands “ It was a real pleasure meeting you, I am sure we will speak again amongst all the events”

"are you leaving me already?" Dali feigned sadness as Ariella said her goodbye to him. "what am I to do? In a strange place in a strange country. The first person I meet that is not family, decides to flee my companionship, a mere fiveteen minutes after we met"he placed his hand over his heart in a very dramatic way and tilted his head slightly back. Oh how Dali could be the drama queen when he wanted to be.
"please, do allow me to accompany you to the waterside" he said as he tilted his head back.
"you can introduce me to all your interesting friends sayida" Dali smiled as he followed her onto the beach. He looked around himself, trying to see if he found any familliar faces. He could swear he could see his brother in the distance. They would meet later,for now he was keen on meeting new people

Violet's ears perked up as her name was mentioned. She looked in the direction of the voice and offered them a smile realizing it was Prince Wulfric.

“That initial report of your death…was a mistake,” he murmured.

She felt her lips press together as she bit back her tongue.

“ If only that was the truth Prince Wulfric… “

“Yes…A mistake indeed.” She offered him a forced smile, her lips pressed together to hide the secret that lay behind them.

“ I hope you and your family are well, I appreciate your family for hosting such a lovely event. It is a nice escape from all the day-to-day…." Violet had a lot of practice in the art of small talk. Although her mind and body wanted to scream what happened to her to the world all she could picture in her mind was a mob with pitchforks and torches chasing her down.

Violet's carriage arrived, pulling up to the gardens as an attendant came over and opened her door. She still struggled to see, her eyes only showing the shapes and shadows of the figures and things around her. Reaching towards was she assumed was the door she reached for a hand as the attendant helped her out of the carriage.

The sun hit her pale skin for a moment, causing it to turn red in color as she quickly pulled out her parasol again. Biting back a sting she pretended to flush out of the gown as the red faded back into her pale skin.

She smiled at the attendant “ Could I bother you for an escort, I am hard of seeing.” Her red eyes glowing under the shadow of her parasol as she looked in the direction of the man. “Certainly Lady Damian” he walked over and wrapped his arm around hers, escorting her towards the event.

They fell behind Mina and Sebastian as a sudden unease fell over her. She steadied herself from the slight loss of balance. Looking around all she could see were a few figures appearing to be a man and a line of a few guests. The unease grew stronger as she felt the nerves build in her stomach.

Violet Damien & Lily Damien

Time, relentless in its march, continued its ceaseless advance while Violet, paralyzed by her own turmoil, remained ensnared by her mind. In the middle of the night, Violet had drawn the curtains tightly, finding solace in the illusion of confinement—a self-imposed cage, shielding her from the world or, perhaps, protecting the world from her.

The room exuded darkness, suffocating any traces of light that dared to enter. Thick drapes, heavy and impenetrable, clung to the windows, sealing within the monstrous presence lurking behind them.

As the sun rose, heralding the arrival of a new day, it cast rays that struggled to breach the inside of her prison. It was the first day of Violet's new existence, a day drenched in disappointment and dred. She had spent the entire night, lost in a disoriented haze, fixated on the haunting glow of the moon, drifting in and out of a nightmarish dream.

Through the veil of fabric, faint streaks of sunlight filtered into the room, painting the floor with a veneer of golden warmth that resembled liquid gold. The air hung heavy with silence, her sole companion amidst the echoing ticks of a clock. A relentless reminder of the night's emotions strewn across the floor of her bedroom.

Vampire…

A word laden with connotations of damnation, of being a demon or a monstrous abomination, as callously bestowed upon her by one of those men.

Books often chronicled the existence of such creatures, their titles resonating with vile horror, an apt description of her own story. And the world in all of its own twisted faults and issues would paint her the same way. She truly belonged in a cage or, better yet, dead—an eternal exile from the lives she threatened to ruin.

The taste of the man's blood lingered, stubbornly staining her mouth. She had rinsed it away, employing water and salt in vain attempts to purge the sweet nectar of life. Yet, it persisted, an insidious presence, clinging to the tip of her tongue like the memory of honey. She yearned for more of that intoxicating warmth, her mind succumbing to a false ecstasy, drawing her back to the moment of her first bite. But she pulled herself out abruptly, wrenching herself from the allure of the past, her body leaning forward in the chair, hands resting on her knees, while disgust cascaded down her spine.

Was this all she would be able to think about

Her legs propelled her forward, a slow and deliberate movement, carrying her towards the drapes. She extended her hand, fingers entwined around the coarse fabric, clutching it with desperate intensity. And then, with an eruption of determination, she flung them open, exposing herself to the cruel light of morning, as if anticipating her annihilation—her transformation into a pile of ash. However, the tales of vampires had deceived her. Violet's eyes fluttered, grappling with the assault of brightness, gradually adjusting to the bright lights. A faint tingling sensation grazing her skin as her hands relinquished their death grip, slumping lifelessly by her side.

Bathed in the morning light, her eyes, once a haunting shade of crimson, blazed like rubies, a stark contrast to her complexion. The sun's light was agonizing, a relentless torment that seared her flesh, turning it a furious shade of red, as if her very being was set ablaze. She stood there, subjected to the torment, allowing the pain to consume her, disappointment welling up inside.

She was alive.

The books she had so diligently absorbed had deceived her—she should have disintegrated, consumed by the light, reducing her to nothingness. But she remained...unfortunately. Tears welled in Violet's eyes, an embodiment of her anguish, while her strength wavered, causing her knees to buckle.

Violet released a cry, a sound that would only be heard as a whisper. Her voice cracked as the pain began to be too much.

Slowly, she closed the drapes, struggling against the relentless burn that had taken hold of her skin. As the sun receded, vanishing once more behind the veil of fabric, her flesh cooled, and the pain subsided with unexpected rapidity. A sigh of relief escaped her trembling lips, and she leaned forward, seeking solace, only to discover that her skin, once sunburnt, reverted to its pale tone, a cruel reminder of her situation.

Collapsing back into the plush chair, her body folding upon itself, Violet's mind spiraled, a whirlwind of tormented thoughts, while silent tears traced their path down her cheeks.

Lily had knocked before entering the darkened bedroom, the door slightly creaking in the silence. The room was heavy as she had stood in the doorway, the ticking of the clock filling the room as she came upon the view of her daughter slumped in the plush chair. Lily’s expression softened and she stared sadly at Violet, her eyes taking in the turmoil on her face. She held a tray with a large mug in it.

Tears had streamed down Violet’s face. Lily usually would have been wiping them and hugging her daughter in a heartbeat, but this was a different girl. “... Violet, dear. Would you like to talk? … Can I… Can I help? “

Violet stared forward blankly unresponsive. She didn’t need to look at the shadowed figure to know that it was her mother. One of the last people she wanted to see. She could feel the blood boiling as her fingernails gripped deeper into the fabric of the chair.

Violet’s body shook slightly with rage, she didn’t acknowledge her except for a few choice words. “Get..out.” Her voice was dark and cold, the words hitting each syllable to ensure any confusion.

Lily stared at the floor silently for a long moment before stating, “I understand Violet... I am leaving you some ham and a mug of something you may want… It’s not from a human. “ She set the tray down on a table near the front of the room.

Just as she was about to close it, she paused, her hand lingering on the doorknob. "Also, I wanted to let you know that you are not alone in this. With time, you will experience physical improvement as your body recovers. The darkness that surrounds you now will fade away, and you will emerge into a brighter, more hopeful tomorrow. I know you’re hurt and upset right now, but I promise things will get better.” She presented her with a smile full of warmth and love, before stepping back into the hallway.

Violets fingers broke through the fabric in her annoying and condescending tone as she left the scraps a dog would eat in front of her. The smell of the putrid blood flid her nose as it sends her into a furry. As her mother was about to step into the hallway, Violet grabbed the glass on blood. She rose quickly to her feet throwing it across the room as the blood splattered against her door, splashing onto her mother's clothing as she shouted. “ Things will NOT get better! You have cursed me for your OWN SELFISH REASONS! You brought me back just to kill me slowly.”

Lilianne stared at Violet and for a moment there was a gleam of something unreadable in her blue eyes. “It will be okay dear… I will break the curse on you. This was just the best I could do for now.” With that, she left Violet alone and stormed down the hallway, a cold and determined look adorning her face.

I brought her back for you, Calbert. I accepted she may hate me if she found out the truth, though I had hoped it could be some time before she had… But I cannot take this abuse from her. I must do something to change this too.

Violet let out a deep growl of frustration, pacing back and forth before she walked over to the door, grabbing her cape that laid across her bed along the way. She wrapped it around her shoulders and in a fury stormed out of her room.

Marching down the hall and to the main entrance she reached for a rather large parasol that was made from a dark lace. Removing it from the holster she stepped outside getting shelter from the lace parasol as it created an interesting pattern of shadow over her skin.

If the world wanted a monster, she would give them one…

Violet's sharp canine made a short appearance as she flashed a smile to the carriage drive before stepping inside.

Personality:

Due to her traumatic past and the haunting presence of ghosts, Sirena's treatment of people around her is marked by a deep-seated fear and apprehension. The torment she endured as a child has left her emotionally scarred, making it difficult for her to trust others and form meaningful connections. Sirena's interactions with people are often guarded and distant, as she struggles with the constant fear of being hurt or betrayed. The darkness, a reminder of her past horrors, intensifies her anxiety, causing her to withdraw further. Despite her fear, there remains a flicker of empathy within Sirena's heart, as she recognizes the pain and suffering in others, mirroring her own torment. However, the ghosts that accompany her serve as a constant reminder of the dangers lurking in the shadows, reinforcing her hesitance to fully embrace those around her.

Her encounters with people often trigger a heightened sense of fear and unease, causing her to instinctively withdraw and remain guarded. In situations where she feels threatened or unsafe, Sirena's natural survival instincts kick in, allowing her to become adept at tracking individuals and blending into her surroundings, effectively hiding in plain sight. While she is not inherently a fighter, her experiences have taught her to be resourceful and to defend herself when necessary. On rare occasions, she may reluctantly wield a dagger, relying on her agility and quick thinking to protect herself. Nevertheless, her aversion to violence remains, as she understands the pain it inflicts all too well. Sirena's reactions are often driven by a desire to evade danger, and find solace in solitude.

Sirena's mind is a complex labyrinth of shattered memories, lingering trauma, and the constant presence of spectral whispers. Her thoughts are often clouded by the haunting echoes of her past, causing her to experience bouts of anxiety, paranoia, and a perpetual sense of unease. Her interactions with the living world are tinged with apprehension, as she carries the weight of her past torment, making it challenging for her to trust or form deep connections. Sirena's thinking is marked by a heightened awareness of her surroundings, always on guard for potential threats. While her mind may be plagued by darkness, there exists a glimmer of resilience and a flicker of empathy, reminding her of her own vulnerability and the pain she endured. Sirena's thoughts often oscillate between a longing for a sense of purpose and family and a constant battle against the haunting demons that reside within her own psyche.

History(2 paragraph minimum):
Sirena was once a winter fairy who was vibrant, energetic, and full of life. She loved magic and was eager to grow up into a beautiful fairy. She had loving parents and a warm home, she was safe and protected.

However, Sirena was snatched when she was a child by the minions of Zalthraxis. While in Zalthraxis's clutches, Sirena became a victim of relentless torture. His minions subjected her to unspeakable horrors, their sadistic actions leaving indelible scars upon her body, mind, and soul. The pain and suffering were so intense that her once vibrant hair turned stark white, and her once expressive eyes transformed into an icy blue hue, mirroring the coldness that had been forced upon her.

As the torment wore on, Sirena's fragile mind crumbled under the weight of her anguish. The incessant abuse caused her to spiral into a state of madness, disconnecting her from reality.

In her fractured state, she found herself able to see and communicate with the tormented spirits that were trapped between worlds. Ghostly apparitions and anguished souls became a constant presence, their haunting whispers and sorrowful cries forever echoing in her ears.
Yet, Sirena's life was a tragic symphony of sorrow. The ghosts that plagued her every step, their presence an inescapable reminder of her tortured past, continued to haunt her relentlessly. They whispered tales of lost loves, broken dreams, and unfulfilled desires, their spectral presence serving as a constant torment, driving her further into the depths of her own madness.

Life after the torture Sirena was left broken and lost, forced to navigate a world that felt alien and cruel. The scars of her past torments left her incapable of trusting others, and she found solace in the shadows, living on the streets and scraping by in the most meager of ways.

In her desperate struggle to survive, Sirena discovered an unlikely talent for scavenging and unearthing forgotten treasures from the darkest corners of the world. She ventured into abandoned ruins, cursed forests, and desolate catacombs, scouring these forsaken places in search of trinkets and artifacts. She became a wandering merchant, selling these eerie finds to those who dared seek her out, often attracting those who were drawn to the mysteries of the occult.

During her travels as a traveling merchant, she ended up befriending a very unlikely individual. Having been attacked on many occasions Sirena ends up hiring a Light elf by the name of Vander to protect her. Using his talents Sirena was able to start traveling again, along with her new hire and companion.

Location: Damian Manor
Time: 7pm

Violet's room was tucked away in the farthest corner of the sprawling manor, secluded from the opulent events and parties her parents often hosted. It was her sanctuary, a space where she could retreat and find solace from the chaos outside.

As Violet entered her bedroom, the heaviness of her emotions overwhelmed her like never before. With a forceful slam, she shut the door behind her, causing a picture frame to tremble and crash onto the cold carpeted floor, shards of glass scattering in all directions. The air in the room grew thick with an unsettling mix of anger, confusion, and betrayal.

For the first time since her return, Violet finally allowed herself to release the pent-up emotions that had been festering within her chest. Pacing back and forth, her footsteps echoing through the room, desperately trying to make sense of the unimaginable information she had just told. Her heart raced within her chest, pounding relentlessly, as her fingers involuntarily clenched into tight fists, trembling with the weight of her anguish.

Violets trembling hand instinctively moved to her face, her fingertips tracing the jagged scar that now marked her, a cruel reminder of the irreversible transformation she had been subjected to. With trembling fingers, she cautiously brushed her lips, the tips of her fingers moving over her teeth, feeling the sharpness of her elongated canines.

Turning her gaze to the veiled mirror, Violet tore away the fabric obscuring her reflection, desperate to see herself, to comprehend the reality that had befallen her. Yet, her eyes struggled to make sense of the blurred figure staring back at her, shrouded in shadows.

A cry of pain escaped her lips, the raw anguish echoing within the room.

In her anguish, Violet's emotions turned into a destructive force. With a sweep of her arm, she knocked over her vanity, sending bottles, makeup, and precious jewelry rocketing to the floor. The room resounded with the display of shattering glass and crashing objects, a symphony of her internal despair.

Sinking to her knees, Violet's body trembled uncontrollably. She sought solace in the support of her vanity, her tears flowing ceaselessly, carving wet trails down her anguished face. Painful cries continued to escape her lips, muffled by her quivering hands as she curled into a fetal position, clutching herself tightly. With every sob, her body shook, and the carpet beneath her absorbed the salty tears, creating a small pool of grief.

Violet allowed herself to be consumed by grief, her body convulsing with each wave of sorrow that crashed upon her. The weight of her newfound existence bore down on her, she had never felt so alone.
