𝐖𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐇 𝐌𝐀𝐘 𝐍𝐎𝐓 be the best choice when it comes to finding a teacher , but he is the kind of a teacher that is not going to romanticize the life of a vampire . there is nothing simple about learning to overcome newfound emotions and urges and perhaps that knowledge is going to aid @brazyspirit in his quest to get used to his new life . ❛ you want to learn the basics . ❜ he echoes , hazel eyes studying the fledgling . ❛ i suggest we go on a hunt . ❜ some would argue that it is too soon - - - - but what is the point in waiting until koda snaps ? the faster he learns to quench his thirst ( preferably without causing actual harm ) , the better . ❛ and we should do that now , while it is dark outside . you may or may not have noticed that the sun is going to be your enemy , until you find a witch or a warlock who is willing to help with that . ❜

𝐈𝐓 𝐈𝐒 𝐀 𝐕𝐈𝐒𝐔𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐙𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 of his inner turmoil , just like the sudden temperature drops that happen every now and then , but this cannot last forever . wrath refuses to let it last forever . ❛ that is what i thought . ❜ it is not that he cannot see why vasilkaera wishes to remain in close proximity , but she cannot keep him from pointing out just how reckless it was to enter hell all alone . ❛ so you accept my conditions , yes ? i have no desire to argue about this all over again the next time i leave and have to do so on my own . ❜ hazel eyes fall to her face as she nuzzles him and julian allows her to do so for a moment before he starts guiding her out of house wrath .

SHE  DOUBTS  IT  IS  SOMETHING  he  is  actively  doing  ,  and  surely  it  will  be  within  his  control  once  things  settle  .  he  just  needs  time  for  his  past  and  present  to  settle  into  each  other  ,  but  she  is  certain  he  will  regain  his  self-control  soon  enough  . “  mhm  ,  yes  ,  sounds  fair  .  ”  as  reckless  as  it  was  ,  her  impatience  got  the  better  of  her  .  she  had  felt  drawn  to  julian  ,  had  always  felt  attached  to  wrath  before  .  she  hadn’t  wanted  to  be  away  from  julian  or  wrath  for  long  ,  and  with  all  the  time  taken  from  them  ,  she  does  not  want  to  be  apart  right  now  .  “  i  understand  .  i  will  leave  any  future  dirty  work  to  you  unless  you  ask  for  me  to  do  something  .  ”  she  promises  ,  reaching  for  him  and  nuzzling  at  him  when  she  speaks  .

𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐃𝐒 𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐊 𝐎𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐋𝐀𝐂𝐄𝐒 of his ice skates , an amused smile tugging at the very corners of his lips . ❛ i cannot promise that i am any good at this . ❜ but he is willing to try - - - - and wrath possesses enough arrogance to convince himself that he is going to do just fine . he rises to his feet once he is done , extending one hand to the nephilim as his lips twitch again . ❛ mhm . you do look like an ice princess tonight . it is almost unfair how ethereal you are in that dress . ❜ and he is not just saying it to make her feel good about her choice . the demon means it . wrath's gaze does not leave @elysiium , even as he starts leading her toward the rink . ❛ fortunately , it is just the two of us right now . less witnesses , should i make a fool out of myself . ❜ he teases , thumb brushing against her soft skin .

[violentdesires]

𝐖𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐇 𝐇𝐀𝐃 𝐁𝐄𝐄𝐍 𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐁𝐈𝐍𝐆 the library for hours now : the book that he was searching for was nowhere to be found . it was not his idea to enter this place ( the last person he wanted to see was the seelie queen ) and he had to swallow his pride to set foot into it at all . the fact that he might have done it in vain frustrates him more than he desires to admit and the temperature drops a few degrees as he attempts to control his annoyance . ❛ are you just going to stare , or are you here to offer your help ? ❜ he asks once he notices a pair of eyes , burning on his features .

[violentdesires]

𝐖𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐇 𝐃𝐈𝐃 𝐍𝐎𝐓 𝐄𝐗𝐏𝐄𝐂𝐓 a firework of emotions - the sins know each other well enough for that - and yet , he cannot say that he expected the absolute nothingness that has been displayed so far . lust has always been his personal favorite and he did not miss a thing when it was just him and violet . . . but he is relieved to find his siblings once again and maybe that is why he thought that sloth might feel anything at all . head turns into kwame's direction - - - - a mistake , as he learns mere seconds later . the demon rolls his eyes , starting to lick the chocolate icing from his lips while he shrugs . ❛ it was not our choice to leave you . you can thank the so called heavenly father for that . ❜ hands reach for a napkin to wipe the rest of the icing as his gaze stays on the other . ❛ looks like i will be trying to find it in my heart to forgive you as well . ❜

               elects  to  remain  silent  ,  peering  between  wrath  and  the  desserts  piled  high  upon  his  plate  .  it's  the  very�� nature  of  their  sin  to  be  prone  to  apathy  and  ambivalence  ,  reason  why  despite  knowing  his  siblings  have  returned  ,  he  makes  no  comment  .  whatever  emotions  were  to  be  expected  kwame  struggles  to  reach  for  ,  but  it  is  the  thought  of  instant  gratification  that  brings  a  grin  to  his  lips  .  ❛  here  .  ❜  chocolate  icing  that  looked  even  more  appealing  than  it  had  when  he'd  cut  their  piece  smooshed  into  wrath's  lips  while  sloth  chuckles  and  licks  his  fingers  .  ❛  that  was  for  the  bear  claw  ,  and  leaving  me  .  ❜  now  satisfied  ,  they  settle  upon  being  content  that  wrath  has  returned  instead  of  the  storm  of  confusion  it  had  been  .  ❛  one  of  those  things  is  almost  unforgivable  but  i'm  trying  to  find  it  in  my  heart  for  forgiveness  ,  and  hope  that  you  will  as  well  ,  and  won't  throw  something  at  me  .  ❜      

[violentdesires]

𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐈𝐑 𝐑𝐄𝐋𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐏 𝐇𝐀𝐒 𝐀𝐋𝐖𝐀𝐘𝐒 𝐁𝐄𝐄𝐍 awfully complicated - lust got close to wrath above all others , evident in the way that their fates stayed intertwined when they were reborn . she never fed his wrathful nature , finding ways to calm him instead . . . but none of that means that he does not care at all about their remaining siblings . wrath cares , even about envy , no matter how many times his dagger finds itself covered in his brother's blood . traces of melancholy do not go unnoticed , but he finds it hard to react to it . his own emotions continue to flood his mind , making it hard to think . ❛ i see . . . so it's just the three of us right now ? ❜

"No, I wouldn't." His expression changed into something more melancholic, right when his brother shifted his focus on their sister. Whether Wrath would believe him or not, he did miss his family, and he wanted them all back in their old positions, just like before. Envy believed in restoring Hell to its former glory, just as much as Zion did. And for that to happen, he needed his siblings.

He looked at his bloody palm, then rolled his eyes with a gentle sigh, starting to wipe it into his pants. "Good. You may help finding the rest of our siblings, too. Takes much too long doing it alone."

𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐒𝐈𝐓𝐔𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐕𝐄𝐒 one thing : whatever is felt does not come from the heart , it comes from within , from the very soul of a person . even now that his heart is gone , leaving nothing but emptiness inside of his chest , julian still cares about the people that meant something to him before this happened . ❛ i do not want you to fear me . ❜ it is a painful thought - even though it is true . . . perhaps she should . it would be natural to feel frightened and he swallows as she shivers , eyes closing as he attempts to let go of some of his ice , skin becoming warmer to the touch . okay . a simple word , so often used by her that it feels quite familiar by now . it draws the smallest chuckle from his lips and the demon nods when she offers to wait until she knows . lips part to answer , but aurora's tease comes quicker and he is well aware that there is more to it than playfulness . hazel eyes study her as she looks to the side , hands slowly moving to her face to make her look at him . his thumbs brush against her soft skin , taking this moment to drink her in before he speaks . ❛ is that what you still want ? i could not . . . i would not blame you for it , if you could no longer stand the mere thought , aurora . ❜ and no matter what he wants , the nephilim comes first .

𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐋𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐔𝐄𝐒 to permeate his skin as if trying to guide his heart home . but it was gone now , replace with ice ━━━ his wrath frozen in its place ( ready to be unleashed whenever he so desired ) . she isn't sure why , but it makes her shiver . . . but she doesn't pull away , even as his cold fingers wrap around her wrist . ❛ i'm not scared . ❜ perhaps she should be ; he was one of the wicked , wrath incardinate . the scar on his chest only a small mark of the carnage that is sure to follow him . but she wasn't . the only thing she was scared of was losing him . not the things he may have done ( or will do ) . wide eyes are haloed by her dark lashes as she looks up at him , listening to his answer intently . it was a difficult question ; one with a difficult answer . ❛ okay . . . ❜ she deliberates that answer ( she still did not know what to call him ) . ❛ i'll just wait until you do know . ❜ she looks to the side then , nose twitching . ❛ for now perhaps i will just call you boyfriend . ❜ she teases . . . but it's a deliberate one ━━━ waiting to see if her assumption ( and their relationship ) was correct . that . . . nothing had to change between them .

𝐇𝐄 𝐅𝐀𝐊𝐄𝐒 𝐀 𝐃𝐈𝐒𝐀𝐏𝐏𝐎𝐈𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐃 𝐋𝐎𝐎𝐊 when camilla finally announces that it is the worst joke she has ever heard . . . and that he is being demoted back to being a knight . ❛ hey , i tried very fucking hard here , blondie . you could be a little more appreciative . ❜ disappointment turns into mock fear once she mentions isabella . ❛ do not tell the princess . she would have my head for this . ❜ worse - - - - bells would demand that he tells it again and again and again . ❛ i do . i am currently saying my prayers , because you are the one who might deliver my death sentence ! ❜ julian sighs dramatically , fingertips tickling at her sides . ❛ you know what ? maybe i have to murder you before you can sell me out . . . ❜

THE TRULY TERRIBLE joke makes her laugh so hard , there's tears in her eyes . ( and a very inelegant snorting noise . ) it's less the joke , and more the delivery — and the fact that it's this grump , of all people , delivering . it takes camilla a good minute to calm herself before she can speak without hiccup-ing . " that is the worst joke i have ever heard . " she loves it , so much . " you're being demoted back to knight . any king worth his salt will have their jester's head for something like this , believe you me . and i will call bells to tell her as much . " still , no move for the phone . it might have entered the void under her bed , at this point , but she's quite comfortable where she is , anyways . " and if your time is so preciously short , i'm sure you have better things to do than plot revenge against the truly innocent . "

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐒𝐄𝐑𝐀𝐏𝐇'𝐒 𝐌𝐄𝐑𝐄 𝐏𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐄 changes the air inside of the library . cloyingly sweet , as it tends to be whenever he encounters someone of celestial descent that remains connected to their place of creation . it is ironic how he found himself on the opposite side of heaven in each of his lifetimes ... first as a sin and then as a darklighter ━━━ always meant to dim the light that heaven supposedly shines on earth . wrath can feel it now , the urge that creeps up inside him , the desire to corrupt , to turn light into shadows . while julian possessed morals that kept him in check , wrath certainly lacks those ( to a certain degree , that is ) ... but this is no random angel . pinnikolai is a friend of cosimo and violet , family to aurora . ❛ pinnikolai . it has been a while ... ❜ even if this encounter has a different tone to it . ❛ i am searching for a spell . you might be familiar with it . ❜

no, something’s different. eyes are on him because it sees it, smells it, hears it, feels it. just making sure it’s real. the air around him [ . . . ] out of the same stuff, but a different shape. new and not. the angel doesn’t know julian very well, better as aurora’s boyfriend or violet’s brother, but it could see this was not [ . . . ] him. not the him he was. wrath’s vessel now. wrath himself ? that dark’s there. ❛ ❛ wrath, i take it ? ❜ ❜ getting that out of the way. first time meeting all the sins, actually. shame it’s a bad omen, generally, when they appear all at once, like this [ . . . ] ❛ ❛ sorta depends on what you need help with. ❜ ❜

[violentdesires]

𝐀 𝐋𝐎𝐀𝐃𝐄𝐃 𝐐𝐔𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 , one that warrants a loaded answer . ❛ it is inevitable , isn't it ? ❜ his fingers start to run up and down her spine to soothe her . ❛ i have always had questionable morals . . . i have done things that were far from human . being who i am , what i am . . . that only increases it . i told you that i am still me and i am . but being different will make an impact . ❜ for better or for worse . ❛ and if your family disagrees with you staying friends with me . . . that will make an impact too . ❜

SHE  PRESSES  HER  FACE  against  his  neck  ,  arms  tightening  against  him  .  she  won’t  let  anyone  stop  her  from  seeing  him  ,  from  staying  friends  .  he’s  her  best  friend  ,  she  stayed  through  everything  else  .  “  how  will  it  ?  ”  she  clings  harder  ,  fingers  gripping  at  him  tightly  as  she  tries  to  calm  herself  down  .  

[violentdesires]

𝐖𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐇 𝐂𝐀𝐍𝐍𝐎𝐓 𝐇𝐄𝐋𝐏 himself . a part of him hates the idea of their siblings being scattered across the globe , residing in new york , the faerie realm and who the fuck knows where else . he is not going to sell lyndhurst castle and he plans on spending time in the city , yes , but still . ❛ i take it your decision is set in stone ? ❜ he is certain that he already knows the answer . his brother's sin is his pride , after all . emilian would not risk something he wishes to keep .

HE KNOWS THINGS WEREN'T EXACTLY EASY before god chose to remove them and the memories of them . but it won't change that he cares about his siblings , even after time apart where they did not know about each other . “ i suppose we will . ” he shrugs . “ of course it won't be . but i can go in and out . i care about it enough that i will make it work . ”

𝐇𝐄 𝐒𝐇𝐎𝐎𝐓𝐒 𝐇𝐄𝐑 a playful look , raising both of his eyebrows , when she amends in that way . ❛ hey . biting was supposed to be a punishment . since when do we look forward to punishments , hm ? ❜ wrath smirks when she feigns outrage after he stole a gummy bear from her . ❛ see ? that is more like it . ❜ he announces , popping another one into his mouth .

“ NO , YOU WERE NOT WRONG . ” vala nods . she knows she would have likely made more of a fuss without their history , but she had trusted him so quickly that even without it she likely still would have . she giggles , “ after mini comes then . ” she amends . she gasps in feigned outrage . “ steal a gummy ? how rude ! ”

[violentdesires]

𝐓𝐑𝐔𝐓𝐇 𝐁𝐄 𝐓𝐎𝐋𝐃 , wrath is far from okay - - - - but he has never been one to lose his composure : even when he unleashes his sin , he can appear calm and collected and he refuses to be anything but . . . especially while he focuses on his sister . ❛ i am not certain that we are stuck . ❜ could they abandon their bodies like any other vessel ? probably not , no . at least not without the involvement of magic . ❛ body hopping has never been one of my favorite pastimes . ❜ and with his demon eyes showing , there is little to no difference to the man that he used to be , so he does not mind either . ❛ yes , generous . after initially declining the request , of course . i accused him of being the same , but there is a chance that our darling brother became even more dramatic . ❜ hazel eyes are rolled before that annoyance is forgotten , drowned out by the steady stream of blood that strengthens both of their bodies . his hand wipes the blood from his own face and he shrugs . ❛ do tell him that . he might be willing to impress you , next time . ❜ should there even be a next time . it is not a secret that violet prefers to feed on her husband . their eyes meet and wrath is glad to see the color that returns to her cheeks now . ❛ better ? ❜

𝐒𝐇𝐄 𝐈𝐒𝐍'𝐓 𝐒𝐔𝐑𝐄 𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓 is happening . why she is so much more debilitated compared to wrath . either her brother is better at composing himself or something was wrong ... it would be later that lust would figure it out ━━ the duality of her and violet , battling for dominance . both rejecting the other and clashing together in an internal battle until her blood spills and one becomes the victor . for now she clues it to hunger ( and that was not entirely wrong ; she was hungry ) and , with time , she would become a new person ... lust and violet would emerge as a new being : an idol of passion she should have been all along . ❛ stuck in our bodies more like . ❜ fingers move to caress her own skin , cold under her touch . ❛ not that i mind . ❜ as the mirror image of her former favourite vessel , a face she has seen in her own reflection for the past for years , it was ... nice to be permanent . for her face to be her own , not one she was just occupying temporarily . ❛ generous ... ❜ she repeats with a chuckle , finding his choice of words humorous . once their guests enter the room , the vampire wastes no time ━━ she fests with her brother , replenishing her strength with the blood of envy's guests . it's quick , effortless and so much more dismissive than she has ever been while feeding . because once she is done ? the last body is dropped to the ground , lifeless . lust licks the blood from her lips , thumb brushing away some blood that drips from her chin . ❛ you know . he could have at least found us people more delicious . ❜ she remarks . perhaps that was just demon blood though ; violet has been far too spoiled by the pureblood of her angel for anything else to taste good . but even so , she feels more herself . colour returns to her cheek , the blood humming life into her body . there is still an ache in her chest , but otherwise ? she feels strong and that is something her brother can now see as she looks at him .

𝐀 𝐂𝐔𝐑𝐓 𝐍𝐎𝐃 𝐎𝐅 𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐃 indicates his approval before he speaks . ❛ as you should . this night would get rather exhausting if everyone expected me to read their minds . ❜ and while julian rhodes had never been a patient man , wrath is even worse when it comes to that . the request surprises him and he quirks an eyebrow at the blonde before he takes her hand , silently leading her toward the dancefloor .

NO  ,  BUT  SHE  KNOWS  THEY  ARE  THERE  ,  knows  they’ll  protect  her  .  and  those  who  might  try  anything  ought  to  be  deterred  by  the  two  sins  she  is  sticking  close  to  .  “  i  would  not  hesitate .  ”  she  would  always  tell  him  if  she  wants  to  leave  ,  if  she  needs  anything  .  she  has  never  kept  things  from  him  before  ,  she  won’t  start  now  .  “  come  dance  with  me  .  ”  she  requests  after  a  moment  .

𝐈𝐓 𝐌𝐀𝐊𝐄𝐒 𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐄 𝐒𝐄𝐍𝐒𝐄 to wrath than casimir could possibly know : familiarity is what draws him back to hell , despite all of the things that have happened down there . ❛ and did they welcome you back ? most people do not take kindly to being left behind , no matter how temporary . ❜ he hopes that the werewolf did not make the same experience , struggling to reunite with people who gave him a hard time . ❛ ironic that you would say so . . . it turns out i have been absent from hell for much longer than i realized . ❜ he admits , head tilting as he listens . ❛ decent enough ? i suppose sometimes that is as good as it gets . ❜ but there is beauty in eternity and an endless possibility to reinvent oneself once it ceases to be what is desired . ❛ dead . ❜ wrath answers , shrugging .

          ups  and  downs  ,  memories  held  of  new  york  aren't  always  pleasant  for  the  werewolf  .  he  left  for  that  reason  to  begin  with  ,  despite  it  meaning  that  he  left  selene  ,  his  sibling  ,  and  the  few  wolves  he'd  held  under  his  command  at  that  time  .  ❛  if  you  could  believe  ,  i  returned  because  i  missed  familiarity  .  selene  ,  my  brother  ,  you  know  .  ❜  cock  of  his  head  and  shrug  of  shoulder  is  DISMISSIVE  despite  genuine  answer  .  ❛  it's  good  to  see  you  as  well  though  i  would  have  thought  that  i  would  next  see  you  when  i  was  dragged  to  hell  .  ❜  whenever  that  time  came  that  something  managed  to  .  ❛  it's  hard  to  answer  that  question  these  days  ,  my  friend  .  it's  been  a  decent  enough  existence  that  i  can  say  .  how  have  you  been  ?  ❜
