What does your heart look like?

A cage with iron locks

You are an enigma. You take care to remain that way. You aim to keep people guessing; your motives are uncertain even to yourself. What is it you truly want? You’ll never know if you keep your heart locked away like that. You deserve to be known, truly and fully. Stop being afraid of what you might find if you open your heart up to self-reflection. Stop thinking that no one will love you the moment they understand you. You are more than the facade you put on.

Saw this quiz going around and thought it'd be interesting to do for Stellan!

February Daily Writing Challenge 2025 Day 3 - Suspicious

Inistellan sipped on his glass of brandy, eyes fixated on the stage from his private box at the Royal Ballet’s production of Romulo and Julianne. Despite the tragic ending, it was a favorite this time of year. Love is in the Air was certainly a time for star-crossed lovers and love at first sight - two situations he was completely unfamiliar with himself.

Cazmilan Fin’endal Junior played the role of Romulo, naturally. He was their best and had been for years now. A perfectionist through and through, just like his father Inistellan. Perfectionism ran rampant in their family, even in his daughter Vixannya Ana’diel. It was their duty to always look polished and flawless in the public eye, and that had taken all of them far in life.

After the ballet had concluded, Stellan excused himself to go home, passing over the opportunity to have a meet and greet with some of the stars of the show. He preferred to keep his distance from his son, lest Cazmilan become suspicious of his true nature. After all he had trained him well on how to read people and it would be quite the scandal for them both should he be outed.

There were moments that Stellan did yearn for a relationship with his son, but this was what was safest for everyone involved. They had many good years together, but there were also heavy regrets on Stellan’s part. He never wanted to become his own father, but he feared he had done just that when raising Cazmilan. Still, he turned out well. He seemed happy and was obviously thriving. A part of him did wonder if Caz hated him just as he hated his own father in the end. Perhaps it was best not to know.

He would make his anonymous donation, attend at least one performance every season, and that would be that until the day he died.

February Daily Writing Challenge 2025 Day 1 - Hypnotic

The hypnotic tic-tic-tic of the metronome wasn’t a necessity at this stage of Stellan’s musical studies. Perfect tempo and perfect pitch were something he had mastered during his time as a musician in the Silvermoon orchestra many, many decades ago. It was a habit at this point, and more than anything it was a comfort. There was something about the rhythmic ticking that soothed his mind and brought about a sense of nostalgia.

He had missed those times, when his days were full of practice and many nights full of playing the role of The Chameleon. He was at his busiest with less time to think about the world at large and what was next on the horizon. Not less stressful, just stressful in a different way.

Now, there wasn’t a need to work. He had enough funds from his previous lives that he could comfortably retire and spend the remainder of his years traveling or even just sitting at home playing his grand piano. But once you get a taste, it’s hard to return to a civilian lifestyle.

He struggled with those in between times, when the mercenary crew was on leave for some undetermined amount of time. It was a good thing, that meant there was relative peace in the world - but he wanted the war, and he wanted the strife, and he wasn’t alone in those wants. It was an unspoken desire shared among many of those who had spent their lives in the service of the military or as a mercenary. He didn’t wish for people to get hurt or to lose their lives, but he craved the action and being able to put some of his best skills to good use.

With a discontent sigh, fingers glided over the piano keys with a heavily practiced ease, attempting to push away encroaching thoughts with a few of his favorite pieces. It didn’t work, it never did these days. The restlessness was an all too familiar feeling, and anytime it had reached these levels he knew it was time to change faces and to change names.

Is that what he truly wanted? 

He was rather fond of Inistellan Volanthus, and thought that perhaps this is actually who he was always meant to be in the end. But still, the feeling remained.

Hopefully it was fleeting.
