Prologue
They burnt the orphanage," he mummered while stroking the white kitten in his arms. He suddenly stopped stroking it and reached into the pocket of his robes and pulled out a scroll. Setting the kitten down, he handed it the scroll with a small smile.The feline seemed to know what to do; with a twitch of its ears, it ran away.The wind blew through his hair as he knelt by the ashes hoping to find something- anything."Do not touch those," a voice whispered urgently, breaking him out of his reverie. He stared at the owner of the voice whose eyes held genuine concern, "Ne- er, The Emperor will have your head.""What happened?" he asked, ignoring the warning as his fingers inched towards the ash.When he realized she wouldn't answer, he placed his palm on the ash only for images of gasoline, fires, locked doors, and people- children to be specific- screaming. He frowned at the images. "What happened?" he found himself asking for the second time that night."The people. Where are they?"

You know what they say; no pain, no gain.-----Sora was instructed to lay on the table by Wynter, dressed similarly to Hope and Maximus, who attended to the burns on the Angel's back after cutting what remained of the shirt.Dolan was flipping through his book, probably trying to glean last minute information on the surgery he was about to perform. He closed the book and turned his gaze to Rowan. "Does Beast have any idea on this?""Sadly, no."Sora realized he was tense as it dawned on him that he would actually be getting the operation to remove his wings. Dolan glanced at his friends as if asking for one of them to do something.He relaxed slightly when hesitant hands rubbed his lower back and carefully moved to his shoulders. "Relax, Sor. Dolly says it'll hurt less if you aren't tense." Leilani muttered as Maximus continued his ministrations.Rowan stood at his right and griped his hand. "Just squeeze when it hurts, ok?"

But the oddest teacher of all is experience for she gives the test first and the lesson afterwards.=====When Hope opened his eyes, he was on the couch facing Dolan so he could see what the Vampire was doing. He then sat up, frowning as the blanket rolled off him; why did he feel warm?He then placed his arm against his neck, frowning at the warmth he was producing which he found odd seeing that he had always been cold-blooded."Dolan?"He cringed at how hoarse his voice sounded before smiling slightly as a tired Dolan handed him a glass of water. "Morning Hope. Are you really awake or are you about to manifest again?" "Whatever do you mean?"Hope then looked around the room and frowned, turning his attention back to Dolan who had wandered to the other side of the room to pick something from the table there. "Dolly, what did you do to me? I'm producing heat." He asked.Dolan didn't face him. "We're about to find out."Hope wa

The skeletons are in the closet for a reason.-----Sora didn't need Maximus to nudge him slightly for him to know that it was him that Dolan was speaking to. He crossed his arms over his chest and scowled. "You know who did it."The gold eyes glimmered before Dolan closed them and took a deep breath. When he opened them, there was nothing for anyone to read. "So the Ring of Power is the random ring you found?"Suddenly, everything fell into place as soon as the name rolled of Dolan's tongue as Maximus realized exactly what was wrong. He remembered an eight-year-old Dolan recounting to them one story night about a power hungry Mage who created the ring with samples from the strongest and most powerful beings short of the gods. He remembered how he explained the Mage coated the ring with gold as a way to contain the ring's vast power and sealed it with her own, powerful magic.The ring worked a little too effectively and gave the bear

The devil you know is better than the angel you don't know.--- Leilani hugged herself as she felt her strength finish as Rowan let out another heart wrenching scream. she shut her eyes tight, hoping to escape the haunting memories that took place merely hours ago; it felt like it had happened light years ago.She had just left Maximus after telling him she was looking for Rowan to freeze him and was skipping through the trees, aware that she had the element of surprise n her side when she felt an old yet familiar pain seize her as her senses heightened.She let out a low pain filled moan as she bent, trying to reduce the pain when she remembered the pills Dolan had given her and swallowed two dry, grimacing at the bitter taste.She thanked the gods that she carried the container around and wondered vaguely if her taking the pills earlier than prescribed and in a higher dose would affect her in anyway.A familiar scent reac

In fear of you forgetting me, I made sure you'd hate me.-----Dolan let out a sigh as he recalled what he saw the previous night. He agreed with Mira on how he chose to thank him for giving him the strength to kill Jess. If he hadn't used magic to trap Mira, Jess would have been alive long enough for him to have had an idea on what to do to heal the Demon of magic."Brooding is definitely not a good look on you." Maximus snorted. Dolan looked at the Siren and didn't comment at what his friend had said."Are you ok?" Maximus asked after a moment of silence washed over them.Dolan was tempted to shake his head and tell him that he was fine but at the pointed look he received, he simply let out another sigh. The Siren smiled at Dolan as he put a hand on his shoulder. "Come on. I want to show you something in your garden.""But I know every nook and cranny of the garden."He was proven wrong.He stared at the pond in aw

Don't misunderstand me when I say that the villain was once the victim.-----Before anyone could blink, Sora pulled Dolan into a tight hug which Maximus and Rowan excitedly joined, careful not to injure the Angel's back. Wynter smiled at the reunion as she leaned against the door frame. She rose a brow at Leilani. "Why don't you join them?"Apart of her cringed at the thought of hugging a Vampire and she wrinkled her nose beneath the mask. She then shrugged. "Too much boy." "oh, I get you."To say she was shocked when Dolan broke out of the hug to stand in front of her would be an understatement. She held her breath as the gold eyes assessed her before he carefully removed her mask from her face and took her in. "You kept taking the pills."Another part of Leilani kicked herself at the sound of the surprise in his voice and she cursed herself for messing up their friendship.Before she could reply, Dolan had turned his atte

A wise man learns more from his enemies than a fool from his friends.-----"-They've been on probation for three years and we can't reach out without confirming their suspicions!" Jess cried. "What are we going to do, Mason?"Mason rolled her eyes at Jess's antics but didn't comment as she continued writing her letter while giving her eagle owl instructions on the parcel it was about to carry. She secured the parcel and letter and smiled softly at the bird that nuzzled its head against her palm before taking off in flight.She closed the window and smiled reassuringly at Jess who looked very close to pulling his air out. "Don't fret, Jess. I'm a few steps ahead of you."Jess relaxed at the thought of Mason having the situation under control before panic seized him once more. "Rowan isn't allowed to see his mother whose sick and he doesn't know that she might not make it." "She'll pull through. If anything I wouldn't be surprised if she outliv

No matter who you are, you must agree that loyalty is essential in all alliances.-----A big man sat behind a desk looking at the papers in front of him with a frown when he heard someone knock on the door."Come in."The door opened and an androgynous figure with a headscarf and a facemask walked in, closely followed by a tall brunette with green eyes and a shorter blonde with red eyes. He rose a brow, concerned with odd trio but gestured for them to sit."Blue? Who are these people."The one referred to as Blue smiled beneath the mask, blue eyes glowing slightly. "Well, Jack-I beg your pardon- Alpha Jack. These are Liz and Sed; my siblings."Jack's brow furrowed; Siblings? There's more of them? Sed lit a new a cigarette and frowned when Jack rose a brow. "No smoke zone?" He asked, getting clarification when the Alpha nodded. Sed sighed heavily and extinguished the cigarette in his usual fashion that had Jack

From the outside looking in, it's hard to understand; from the inside looking out, it's hard to explain.-----The Emperor was more than ready to strangle Sed when he saw the Witch since the smoke addict decided that it would be funny to not show up for his summoning. His heavy boots thudded against the tiles as he strolled through the halls, calling's Sed's name every few seconds.He knew that Sed was within grounds because he was told so and actually saw the red eyed blonde walk to the palace. Where was he?A dull sound thudded causing him to stiffen when it registered in his mind that the sound had come from The Empress' room. Fear gripped his soul as he ran to his room and opened the door only to be met with the sight of The Empress standing well away from a bleeding body of Sed.He turned his gaze to his wife, ready to ask her if she was fine when he noticed an outraged expression on her face when he eyes landed on Sed. She then looked at him with no expression before walking out
