(huH?)
"Because… I have to…" Devon sighed. "I can't disobey my father…the king…He isn't very forgiving, or nice" He motioned at the scars on his face. "I don't have a choice, i have to get as many as I can before the meeting…where we will make our appearance"
(Ciana is the only person that has a light source thats not currently in the unfindable light kingdom.))
"You don't have to go back. what would he do with that power? he would probably start wars, create distrust, break treaties. You could hide. run. Ignore what your father says to do. But I still cant let you get any more sources."
"He can't use the power, don't you get it. Only people born with the ability to use a power can use it, and there is only ever going to be one person who is born to use them all" Devon shook his head.
"But you said you can't disobey him. so even if you are the one with the power, he'll be the one in control." Ciana said, watching him intently.
Devon was silent for a moment, "I have to get the sources, I don't have to use them, he can't force me to do anything, which he should of learnt that by now"
Elias started picking at the lock to the door, bored.
((… ciana was still holding elias's arm-))
"Then he cant force you to get them." Ciana said logicly. "If he cant force to to use them, then he cant force you to get them."
"you don't understand…he isn't very nice, if I don't do it, I might lose a limb. But I can use the power against him…I want to have a council, all of the heirs working together, of course, I would have to be in charge…for it to work…" Devon sighed.
"I would totally be the second in charge" Elias smirked, earning a head shake from Devon.
(They were close to the door, he just started poking the lock… idk)
((okay))
"You can't be completely in control, just the head to make sure everything was working. Everyone gets an equal say. No powers used against each other, only to help." Ciana muttered, not loud enough to hear. Then, louder, she said "I still can't let you do that. not without permission from the heirs. You'd have to actually ask Ginger for exactly what you need. And she'd have to say yes."
"… She won't… no one will agree…this idiot only did it because he likes to go against the system. But, either I get them to follow me, or I take the throne as high king and they get no say….neither would I" Devon sighed, he put his mask back on.
Ciana frowned. "I can't let you do that." She said, pulling out her knife. "You have to get permission, or i cant let you touch the sources."
"Would you give me permission?" Devon put the staff back across his back and crossed his arms.
"If you gained permission from the other heirs to get theirs, then i would personally cut you a piece of my own."
"well, Winter will, he's like my best friend, sooo there is two for you. And I could probably get the second heir of water, he's also really close to me…granted…a bit more than friends sometimes." Elias grinned, "So what about that?"
Devon facepalmed.
"That would work. but i dont need to know about your sex life. I'll go with you. you will ask. you will explain why. if they still say no, then you leave it." Ciana said. "Do you understand?"
Devon nodded, "you can release Elias now, he's less of a threat than me."
Elias huffed, crossing his arms, "My sex life is very interesting."
Ciana let go of Elias, rolling her eyes. "I'm sure it is. I'm going to go find that servant boy.. And have her come back to the garden. Then you'll explain the situation. And if she says no, then we'll leave it. Okay?"
"Ok, deal. either way the next stop is the ice kingdom" Devon sighed.
"I mean, I can make you a part of it if you want" Elias flirted.
Ciana didn't even acknowledge that Elias had spoken. She quickly found Cimbaline, hoping the boys could find the garden again. She, looking like a guard again, send Cimbaline to call on Ginger, before heading back to the garden. Cimbaline went to Ginger, bowing deeply. "Princess, someone is sending for you in the garden."
Devon and Elias followed Ciana, Elias clinging to Devon's arm, hurt that Ciana ignored him.
Ciana and the boys were back in the garden by the fountain, waiting for ( @Serenity88 ) Ginger to come back out.
(I return! im available today, but I have to leave again until Sunday after today😭. ill be back Monday- I have a Drill Team Competition sat-sun)
((Oh, fun! its your turn, btw))
(yup)
Ginger, who was just about to find a servant to get her some food, turned to Cimbaline. She sighed. "Is it that darn Electric heir again? Nevermind, I'll go see what he wants. Thank you, Cimbaline. You may tell the caller I'm on my way."
She took a deep, fortifying breath and waited for Cimbaline to leave. Then she entered her room. She took off the dumb tiara, setting on her dresser. The small piece of the Source followed, touching down on the wooden dresser with a clink. Thus prepared, she headed for the garden.
Once again, she passed through the arch, but lingered in the shadow of it for a moment, composing herself. With another deep breath she strode out, her chin held high. The guard, Elias and 'Dev' (he was only introduced as 'Dev' so that's the only name she knows for him) waited by the fountain.
"Well?" She prompted.
Ciana nodded to Devon, urging him to speak. but first, she said, "Princess. I will make sure no harm falls upon you, or your source, but i would like for you to hear him out." She said, motioning to Devon, before taking a single step back. "And after you have given your answer to his question, i will make sure he dosen't go against your wishes."
