(I'm fine with it!)
Caelum moved quickly as if to catch Kaiser but then settled next to him and placed a hand lightly on his arm, his smile still on his lips. He reached up then and lightly wiped tears from Kaiser's face and chuckled gently, "You know a king isn't supposed to cry." he told him teasingly, his voice soft before he tugged Kaiser to him and wrapped his arms around him. Hugging the king and letting out a sigh of his own, "But, I suppose this is a worthy occasion." he added lightly as he held Kaiser for a few more moment before letting him go and looking to the king proudly. He'd never truly been proud to be a part of something, but in this occasion he found his heart swelling happily at the thought of having helped to save the lives of the people of Roewen.

((omg how cute!!!))
The week flew past- it was full of exhausting training, and the recruits tired more and more each day. By the end of it however they were far more powerful and well toned, and starting to look the way that they should for elites. And lucifer? He was just excited to return to his Jenny.
Katherine welcomed her two boys home happily and proudly, glad to see that they were doing well- she hugged and kissed them both and then allowed them to retreat away to their rooms until dinner, knowing that they'd be utterly exhausted.
When dinner arrived, Lucifer didn't show up, and Katherine was only a little worried- she understood that he'd still be exhausted, so she mentally excused him and forgave him for skipping out on her- he may be asleep still, and have not even woken up.
---
Kaiser felt his cheeks redden as Caelum cleared his cheeks of tears and then pulled him into a hug, feeling touched at his caring actions and even more so at the pride on his expression. 'I couldn't have done it without you, Caelum.' He croaked, rubbing his eyes lightly, a small smile on his lips. Did kings cry? He'd seen his father cry many a time. It wasn't looked down upon in Roewen- though somewhere like Bra'ghan or Zale'mas might scold their boys for emotional weakness.

Amos chatted happily away to Hathor, occasionally turning away to talk to his mother. "The storm there was amazing. It seemed to be a lot louder than they are here." He frowned and tilted his head, before continuing to talk. He could have sworn he had felt something. "But yeah, anyway..." He stopped again, his frown deepening, before he was rapidly overwhelmed with several different emotions; distress, fear and anger...but those weren't his emotions...? "...Lucifer!" He stood quickly, knocking his chair over as he did. "Lucifer is in trouble."

'Trouble? How trouble? Where is he?' Katherine demanded, motherly instincts leaping out of her like a violent and vicious predator ready to strike. Hathor calmly stood and listened, trying to hear for any indication of where the prince may be, but he couldn't find anything. 'Can you locate him, Amos?' He questioned.

(is Kaf just hanging out at the island for now?)
Caelum smiled lightly and shrugged, "I'm sure you would have found another thief." he teased lightly as he rose to his feet and offered Kaiser a hand to help him up as well, "How do you feel by the way?" he inquired looking at him with a bit of concern, "You took a pretty big hit from that lightning earlier, and everything you've had since this began. How are you feeling now?" his eyes flickered over the king a moment to check for any outwards signs of injuries before he met his gaze again and arched a brow, continuing the question silently and waiting patiently for his response.

'I would not have found another thief.' Kaiser fiercely replied, frowning at Caelum sternly. He then took his hand to stand up, swaying a little on his feet, this in itself indicating his tiredness. 'I'm exhausted.' He answered honestly, sighing. 'I may be the son of an Ancient, but I'm not immortal or all powerful. The strikes took a lot out of me, and that final bolt from Ra finished me off... we should probably head black to the castle.' Kaiser really wasn't looking forwards to the trek home, and wished he'd brought Druinn with them.

(Alrighty! I'll just have him lurking around? Where should he be??)
Caelum chuckled gently at the sudden fierceness in his voice but nodded and then steadied him lightly, holding to his arm. He thought a moment and then shook his head, "Just get on my back, you're tall but I can still handle you." he told him simply, "My own dragon isn't quite big enough to carry the two of us yet, and he's not much of a listener to others besides me, so I don't trust him with you." he explained lightly before step in front of Kaiser and motioning for the king to climb onto his back. Though Kaiser stood about two inches taller than the thief, Caelum was still built well enough and strong enough to be able to carry him, he didn't really mind either, he could rest when they returned, Kaiser probably had duties and papers and people. It was no worry to Caelum, as long as Kaiser was well, he was happy.

((I'm not sure... maybe he could have his own room, which overlooks the courtyard, so he'd be able to hear the commotion? Or he could be in the library...? I dunno))
'What? No!' Kaiser laughed, shaking his head. 'You're not carrying me, Caelum. Just because I cried in front of you doesn't mean I'm dropping my pride. I still have some dignity, Thankyou very much.' He spoke cheerfully, before starting to limp towards the temple doors, wanting to get the hell out of the place, severely uncomfortable with all of the radiating death, and craving his bed. or you in my bed, he thought to himself, before turning bright red and shocked at what he'd just thought, rubbing his hand over his mouth and releasing a weird noise that he turned into a cough.

Amos closed his eyes, then opened them again, before grabbing Katherine's wrist. "The courtyard." He said, as he began to pull her out with ease. "He's in the courtyard."

Caelum rolled his eyes and watched him limp away and let out a laugh, "Oh please!" he chimed as he followed after him and reached his side. His brow arching at the strange noise the king had just made. Though he brushed it off and eyed his leg, drifting a bit as well, before back to his eyes. "How about you stop the pride for one minute before you hurt yourself even more." he told him simply as he hurried and stepped in front of him and crossing his arms over his chest, arching his brow pointedly and nodding down towards his leg before staring him down, "I'm not letting this go without an argument you know. And I wouldn't be where I was today without negotiation and debating skills."
(Poof! In comes Kaf! Also....Kaf, in the library? X3)
Kafzel had tagged along, back to with the Elites, having simply to Morcan who and what he was and being accepted easily. Once back at the castle he was lead to his own room overlooking the balcony. Being a Diviner hadn't been spotted in the Mortal Realm for centuries they gave him a rather nice treatment, and Kafzel certainly was not going to complain about that. At the moment he sat on a chair near the open door of the balcony, letting in fresh night air. His head was tipped back against the tall back of the chair and his legs tucked beneath him as he just listened to the night beyond him and the castle surrounding him.

His head was tipped back against the tall back of the chair and his legs tucked beneath him as he just listened to the night beyond him and the castle surrounding him. 'I don't need to be carried, Caelum.' Kaiser patiently continued, as he walked around the man and left the temple, pausing to stand in a patch of warm sunlight and close his eyes, releasing a soft and long sigh of relief. He opened his eyes after a while and finally continued walking, making his way back down the mountain. 'We could always try and hitch a ride on one of the wild wyverns.' He suggested, looking down at the beasts which were flying below. --- Katherine stumbled as her youngest dragged her along, struggling for a moment to keep up his pace before she managed to bundle up her dress to her side in order to run. 'What's going on, Amos?' She asked, looking stressed and feeling panicked at Amos' distress for his brother. When they arrived in the courtyard, Lucifer was laying in the centre of it, looking terrified, confused, and crying; he had a deep, deep knife wound in his chest and his side, and he was clutching at the chest one. He was staring up at a woman- a maid, his Jenny, his Jenny, why had she stabbed him? He'd loved her, he'd done nothing to her, he had been going to make her his queen. Katherine, panting, came to a halt, eyes wide with horror. Was that the girl she'd known Lucifer was fraternising with? Love was a difficult emotion to hide, and Lucifer had never been able to hide them. 'Lucifer!!' She called, breaking into a run again, desperate to reach him but panicking as she knew she was too far away to help him.

Jenny snorted as she saw Katherine and Amos arrive. "Look at that, little Luci. You're family has arrived! They'll be next you know. After you're dead." She tolled the handle of her knife in her hand so it was comfy, before she launched herself forward again with a swiftness that wasn't fitting of a human, aiming for the centre of chest.

Caelum smiled and watched him walk by but nodded, "Alright." he replied simply. As they stepped into the sunlight he felt a sudden tingle of homesickness for Asiralath and all the sunshine they received that. He stood and took in the warmth as well for a few moments, before looking over to Kaiser and smiling again. At the suggestion of riding a wild wyvern he arched his brow curiously and stepped over to the edge to estimate a few things. His eyes now sparking with a bit of excitement, "Sounds dangerous." he chimed with a hint of mischief dripping in his tone.
Kafzel rose to his feet as he suddenly sensed something out in the courtyard and headed to the balcony. He leaned against the parapet and waited a moment, taking the situation for a moment. That girl was a demon, her aura burning crimson and on the ground lay Lucifer. He was hurt and the demon was lunging towards the other two who'd appeared. The queen and Amos. Kafzel bit his lip and then snagged his staff and launched himself off the balcony to land in the courtyard with a rush of wind. Then he took off towards where Lucifer laid on the stone.

Amos followed after his mother, before he threw two large rocks at Jenny. Jenny snarled and avoided the rocks, before backing away from Kafzel and Katherine. "Don't interfere!" She snarled at the Diviner. "The royals will die. You're only delaying an inevitability."

Lucifer's mind was whirling beyond believe with complete confusion and pain; he could feel nothing but betrayal and despair, and even more so at the fact that she'd stabbed him, his Jenny had stabbed him, and he was bleeding out on the floor- but then she was threatening his twin, and she was threatening his mother, and then Kafzel was throwing himself into danger to come over and stop her, and Lucifer couldn't let that happen- he couldn't let them get hurt, I couldn't, he wouldnt-
His back arched- a sickening snap echoed loudly through the courtyard and brought Katherine to a horrified halt. Black... liquid poured suddenly from the eldests mouth, as the purple in his eyes turned completely black, the whites replaced with nothingness, his pupil a glowing white- he released a choked noise as his tattoo, his Demonae, awakened. The lung-like dragon slithered up his back, curled around his neck, the head slid over his face like a mask- then a large explosion of writhing shadows engulfed the boy and he disappeared within them.
'Lucifer?' Katherine whispered, terrified as she backed away from the writhing mass of coiling shadows that was her son, the shadows seeming to take on different animalistic forms of different beasts that screamed and snapped their jaws.
Lucifer could see only red. His purpose was set- defend his family. Kill Jenny. Kill Jenny. kill Jenny.
Something huge and black burst abruptly from the writhing mass- a 40ft long lung dragon, black scaled, long rippling black fur lining his head and running down his back until it ended in a plume at the end of his tail- short front legs pulled close to his chest, longer back legs with deadly talons hooked onto his toes. When he opened his maw, the scream that was released rivalled that of even whisper, shaking the rocks on the ground and causing Katherine's ears to ring. She fell into a crouch and covered her ears, releasing a yelp of fear at the beast that hovered in the air before them.
Baring gleaming white fangs down at the demoness, a loud whispering began to fill the air, an ancient language spoken when only the Ancients were in existence- when only the spirit realm and hell realm were completed and the demons spoke in tongues. Softly glowing runes from that era floated away from Lucifer's new body, promising dark magic that kills and causes suffering. He did not hover for long- his eyes found his target, he dove, Jenny disappeared within those large jaws of his- his long length coiled and thrashed in the air, whilst the gurgling death screams of Jenny could be heard in place of the deadly whispers. And then with a violent snap of his body hers hit the floor in a mangled bloody mess, he screamed again and continued to coil and writhe untamed in the air, his rage still palpable and out of control, his massive, newly released powers overtaking his year-old mind.

His eyes now sparking with a bit of excitement, "Sounds dangerous." he chimed with a hint of mischief dripping in his tone. Kaiser laughed as he examined the wild beasts flying below them. 'It is.' He grinned. 'When I say jump, jump.' He warned, taking Caelum's hand and tensing his legs, ready to leap upon the back of one of the circling wyverns. 'One... two... jump!!' He shouted, leaping off the cliff edge and landing with ease onto the back of a large male, which screeched with surprise and arched its back and neck to see what had landed on it- Kaiser swiftly grabbed a spine and reached out to its mind. Kaiser failed in the magic department, but most royals were trained in the art of mental abilities- whether that be infiltrating or defending. He connected and firmly told it to stay put, and it did- wyverns were not the smartest of creatures- hovering in place.

(Here!)
Kafzel stood in stunned silence as everything played out before them, Lucifer's aura changing to a mingled red and white. It was something strange that Kaf had never come across before and for once felt a pit of dread in his stomach. Then the figure changed and bubbled into something terrifying and awful. A huge dragon that swept the demon up into his jaws and crushed the wretched thing with its jaws. Kafzel clenched his jaw and his grip on his staff tightened a bit as the dragon now stood before them yowling and wailing it's terrible scream. Something was wrong, why wasn't Lucifer coming back now? His mind swirled as he tried to think of something, anything that could help. His hand moved and reached out towards Amos, snagging his sleeve and tugging on it, "Can you reach him still?" he asked as his foggy gaze remained fixed ahead at the creature writhing before them.
Caelum held to his hand and then as they leapt he found himself free falling for a few moments before they struck the back of the wyvern. He held to Kaiser's side then to steady himself as he had landed behind the king. As Kaiser took control of the beast and it suddenly stilled Caelum let out a breath he hadn't realized he'd been holding. He laughed again and beamed as he looked about them, "Alright, you impress me once again, I didn't know you had the ability to control wild bests too!" he laughed as he adjusted how he was sitting a bit.

Lucifer screamed again and suddenly flew into the side of the castle, slamming his body repeatedly against the walls before diving at the ground and doing the same. He rolled across the floor and then leapt back into the air, continuing to violently thrash in the air, his great sweeping tail almost knocking everyone over.
---
Kaiser laughed. 'I'm not a beast tamer- it's just mental abilities.' He explained, before politely asking the wyvern to take them to the castle. It grunted but obliged, starting to fly over.

Kafzel clenched his jaw and stepped back a bit to avoid the huge tail and turned as he began to slam himself into the walls and ground. "We need to stop him." he muttered to the others and his grip on his staff tightened a bit more, cringing at the sounds Lucifer was making. As the dragon continued to thrash Kafzel finally burst, "Lucifer!!" he called, his voice powerful and strong as he tried to get the boy's attention.
Caelum shrugged, "Still, it's pretty amazing!" he chimed as they began to fly back towards the castle. Caelum relaxed a bit, one of his hands still resting lightly at Kaiser's side, he seemed to have forgotten he'd placed it there to begin with.

It was as though somebody had cast a time-stop spell- the dragon span to a very abrupt halt, bright red eyes staring down at the blind man that had called his name, releasing a low growl as he slowly sank to the ground, landing lightly on his toes. Slowly he crawled forwards, baring his fangs in a vicious display of aggression. 'Kafzel,' Katherine worriedly called. If it had been anybody but a Diviner, she'd have been panicking.
---
Kaiser laughed softly, shyly, a little coy at the amount of compliments Caelum was giving him. Although Caelum hadn't noticed his hand, Kaiser was rather hyper-aware of it, and his stomach was twisting in ways that it shouldn't. 'Would you like to join me for dinner when we get back?' Kaiser asked, glancing over his shoulder.

Kafzel seemed unphased by the snarl that was thrown his way and he stepped up to meet Lucifer, his expression closed and his gaze steady on the figure as he approached. Then in a swift movement he took his staff and smacked Lucifer across the snout, then once more on the other side. "Stop." he told him simply, the command strong and distinct. "You're scaring your mother and brother and destroying the castle. If you're going to throw a tantrum, do it somewhere else." he instructed once more, still seeming completely unaware of the aggression and speaking to him as if he were a child. Which, in retrospect, he truly was.
Caelum had tipped his head back to enjoy the sunshine once more. A light elemental stuck in a dreary country for so long, it was nice to feel the sunlight on his skin. Then as Kaiser spoke he tipped his head back to meet his gaze and nodded, "I'd enjoy that, thank you." he replied lightly before letting out a happy sigh and running his hand through his hair, the hand finally falling from Kaiser's waist.

Lucifer snorted and jolted his head back, releasing a loud sneeze, before he then yowled and quite literally threw a tantrum, slamming himself into another wall before throwing himself onto his back and rolling around. This most definitely wasn't Lucifer, but the Demonae on his back- the only part of lucifer left was his uncontrollable emotions and unwillingness to harm the people standing before him. He then rolled onto his stomach and turned, leaping back into the air, before swiftly escaping the castle and disappearing among the ash cloud ever-hovering above Varezi. Katherine's eyes widened with horror as she realised he'd taken Kafzel's words dangerously to heart- and that he'd gone. 'Lucifer!!!' She yelled in a panic, staring helplessly up at where he'd disappeared. --- Kaiser glanced back at him and then quietly away again, feeling a violent ache in his chest. 'I'll arrange for the royals of Asiralath to give you place in their court in favour of mine.' He said, keeping his gaze focused sternly ahead as he steeled himself into the king he should be. 'You can't be happy stuck in this stormy country when the light of Asiralath is so close to you.'

Kafzel crossed his arms over his chest as the dragon began to throw a tantrum and then shoot off into the sky. He turned his face to watch it go and then rolled his eyes and huffed lightly. "He'll be fine." he muttered as he leaned against his staff for a moment, "If you like I'll go and find him." he offered turning his head over towards Katherine and nodding up towards the sky where he'd flown off to. It wouldn't be that hard to track down an aura like that one.
Caelum blinked at the offer suddenly given to him and stared at the back of Kaiser's head, rather puzzled. "You're not getting rid of me that easily." he told Kaiser simply, "I like it here, I'm starting to enjoy myself. Why go back to that country when I've got so much for me here already?" he questioned simply. After a moment he shrugged lightly, "Plus, I've rather taken a liking to you Kaiser." his voice a bit guarded as to what he truly meant but it seemed to mean more than just enjoying the king.
