#Ellinon

[daelete]

@kinglyisms asked: Wyatt & Ellinon: i'm going out , i'm gonna drink myself to death.

They  had  a  way  of  fighting  like  cats  and  dogs,  always  butting  heads  about  something  one  minute  and  stupidly  catching  feelings  for  one  another  all  over  again  (  even  if  there  wasn't  always  a  moment  where  it  was  put  into  any  sort  of  words  for  other  to  know  it  at  its  fullest  ).  Magic  crackles  under  his  skin  in  a  way  that  it  hurts,  the  frustration  he  feels  making  his  magic  go  haywire  against  himself.  Magic  always  had  a  way  of  reacting  to  strong  enough  emotions,  even  the  strongest  magical  users  magic  could  be  influenced  by  emotions  that  got  the  better  of  the  user.  It  was  simply  ridiculous  however,  the  way  that  his  pale  arms  were  getting  the  marks  of  that  crackling,  magic  attacking  him  as  if  to  say  what  argument  had  happened  earlier  was  all  his  fault.  Maybe  it  was,  maybe  it  wasn't  but  his  magic  demanded  a  fix  now  because  it  loved  Wyatt  and  Wyatt's  own  magic.  Scowl  settles  on  features,  betrayed  by  his  own  magic.

The  sound  of  footsteps  are  not  enough  to  make  Ellinon  even  dare  to  look  at  Wyatt,  to  which  his  magic  burns  him  from  the  inside  for  such  stubbornness.  The  words  however,  they  absolutely  have  this  way  of  making  his  head  snap  in  the  direction  that  Wyatt  is  in.  Amber  eyes  stare  him  down  and  he  feels  his  heart  drop,  his  magic  burns  and  then  he's  on  his  feet  and  before  Wyatt  in  a  way  that  can  only  be  described  as  teleporting  rather  than  walking  over  because  it  was  just  too  quick  and  his  magic  was  just  doing  what  it  wanted.  Hand  snaps  out  to  grasp  Wyatt's  wrist  in  a  way  that  is  surprisingly  gentle,  perhaps  panicked.  Amber  eyes  lock  with  Wyatt's  own,  redness  found  under  those  amber  eyes  as  if  he'd  spilled  tears.  He'd  never  been  much  of  one  to  cry  before  being  with  Wyatt,  his  heart  too  iced  over  to  really  feel  what  would  bring  on  sad  or  even  happy  tears.  The  bond  between  the  two  of  them,  between  their  magic,  it  had  this  way  of  changing  parts  of  Ellinon  for  the  better  and  sometimes  he  wondered  if  for  the  worse  as  he  stands  here  panicked  out  of  his  mind  over  mere  words.

❛   to  death?  is  that  right?   ❜   his  expression  sours  more  than  it  already  was  and  he  hates  that  he  can  feel  his  lower  lip  trembling  from  what  has  to  be  a  combination  of  sadness,  panic  and  rage.   ❛   So  help  me,  Wyatt  Cross,  if  you  drink  yourself  to  death  I  will  dabble  in  the  darkest  of  dark  magics,  further  than  I  have  ever  dabbled  before,  to  pull  you  from  whatever  place  you  end  up  and  back  to  this  earth.  I  will  burn  my  own  soul  from  the  inside  out  just  to  ensure  yours  is  on  this  earth  where  it  should  be  if  you  weren't  such  a  .  .  .  a  moron  sometimes  with  some  moronic  plans!   ❜    His  magic  crackles  and  burns,  only  he  can  feel  it  beneath  his  skin,  his  magic  daring  not  to  bring  any  discomfort  towards  Wyatt  even  as  he  has  direct  contact  with  Wyatt  by  holding  his  wrist.   ❛   I  don't  care  if  you  drink,  just  don't  be  stupid  about  it.   ❜   He  can't  lose  you.

The trio "new money shows it off" old money is quiet.

Tyrion: "ARE YOU CALLING MY FAMILY TACKY??"

Trio: if the silk tent fits

The really funny thing is that the Lannisters have had Casterly Rock and the associated wealth for just about as long as Sys' family have held the throne of the Northern Lands.

But the Lannisters have simply never grown out of acting like a bunch of spoiled rich little brats with Daddy's Amex Black and more money than taste or sense.

Sys, on Ellinon, has money money. Like, she could afford to be as tacky and gaudy and generally assholish about it as the Lannisters, but her family has moved on to the generally more understated Old Money sort of attitude and they just find it gauche and tasteless.

(Plus, they find it prudent to set money aside in good times against things like plague, famine, natural disaster, ect. It makes you not get murdered by angry commoners with magic powers as much.)

War in the Balkans: An Encyclopedic History from the Fall of the Ottoman Empire to the Breakup of Yugoslavia

This comprehensive encyclopedia is edited by the acclaimed historian Richard Hall and covers the general topic of war in the Balkans during the past two centuries. Some 60 leading scholars contributed well-examined snippets on the war in the Balkans culminating in a volume that is an excellent reference for a wide range of curious researchers.

Richard C. Hall's timely encyclopedia can help reporters and scholars investigate beyond a headline. The book features informative and expertly written essays with suggestions for further reading. As a leading scholar of Balkan history, Hall, Professor of History at Georgia Southwestern State University who has written multiple books on this topic, is an ideal editor for a work of such monumental scope ranging from the fall of the Ottoman Empire to the dissolution of Yugoslavia and beyond.

To produce nearly 240 entries covering 200 years requires assembling a team of researchers, which is precisely what this work achieved. Altogether, 62 expert contributors wrote entries spanning five categories: Events, Individuals, Organizations, Places, and Treaties.

The most impressive category of contributions is “Events," with 132 topics compromising 56% of all entries. Each war in the Balkans has many entries, and the encyclopedia dedicates five entries to the Balkan Wars of 1912-1913 alone. For these wars, there are separate “Causes” and “Consequences” essays that carefully consider the complex, intertwined factors leading to and resulting from the various Balkan conflicts. The "Events" category contains interesting and rather specific topics not commonly found elsewhere, such as a focus on the “Cold War in the Balkans” and “Ottoman Counterinsurgency Operations in the Balkans and Crete.” The scope of this category is so wide-ranging that it even includes entries covering the roles of Italy and Germany in the Balkans during the two World Wars.

The second category, “Individuals," is smaller, compromising only 24% of the total entries. This section includes an impressive array of people ranging from Ottoman Sultans to modern military leaders and politicians. Nonetheless, with only 56 entries on protagonists of Balkan conflicts, there is a little room for expansion and more coverage, especially with Greek leaders. For instance, figures such as Theodoros Kolokotronis and George Papadopoulos could have been fitting additions to the book's theme. Regardless, most major Balkan individuals are present with each entry on them following the customary high quality.

The remaining three categories — "Organizations," "Places," and "Treaties" — are understandably shorter in length. The category “Organizations” has 32 entries covering 14% of the total contributions. Topics such as the Balkan League, Black Hand, Kosovo Liberation Army, and UNPROFOR were not surprising inclusions. Yet, more concise topics like “Partisans in Albania” or “NATO in the Balkans” were surprising inclusions in a work of this kind. Once more, Greek topics could have been expanded to include groups such as the Philiki Eteria (Society of Friends) or IDEA (Ieros Desmos Ellinon Axiomatikon, or Holy Alliance of Greek Military Officers). The "Places" category could be expanded beyond its current 12 entries by including Cyprus. “Treaties," compromising only 1% of the entries with only 4 topics, could have been a more expansive, general category that included topics like Greater Serbia, Megali Idea, religion, ethnic cleansing, war crimes, and drug trafficking among other issues so intertwined with the war in the Balkans.

Richard Hall’s War in the Balkans is a wonderful addition to the ABC-CLIO/Greenwood Reference collection as its high-quality, accessible, and fascinating articles along with numerous illustrations and maps make the book a must-have for scholars and history enthusiasts alike. In today's digital era, this volume might be dismissed in favor of Wikipedia or other online sources. However, the depth of analysis achieved, along with the detailed and concise topics, is not easily found in traditional encyclopedias. This encyclopedia also offers much more than what students have grown accustomed to in the age before the internet. War in the Balkans is one of those books that hardly sits on a shelf for long.

@daelete;; 𝐌𝐄𝐌𝐄𝐒 Gave it a bit extra for that full potential. YOU HAVE SO MANY MUSES. Especially compared to when we first met asdfghj. I tried to pick a balance between men and women from the supernatural sections. I also, totally, didn't reroll yours until Ellinon lined up with Wyatt, nope--

From these numbers, I'll just list the top ones I can see working. We'll give it a full 6 of faves.

ELLINON AND WYATT--

Tatsuya and Elijah would be interesting. He could try and give this man possessing another man's body a normal life. Plus a samurai and a soldier already probably have quite a bit in common. And Elijah comes with half the family already done! A little baby werewolf if Tatsuya can keep up~

Katinka rolled my boy Cheryvin. A lost Werewolf with no pack ending up in a Dragon's Den who is part of the local Werewolf pack. Cherry is very kind and caring, he'd take her in instanty, man wears his heart on his chest bleeding for affection. Helping others has gotten him screwed over before, but he still loves to be there for others.

I'm playing God here and suggesting Sebastian and Hroki, I'm sure you can figure out why though I'll still absolutely take Thallen again--

Ironcially, Thalien also rolled ERIC. Which I think could be REALLY INTERESTING. That or Eric with Ansel.

Your women rolled the worst choices of muses I have. Poor sunshine lady paired up with Artemis which--man should live and die alone not subject sunshine to his disaster existance. The most I could think, and pulling God here once again, is actually throwing Mina at Elijah. Maybe a baby werewolf would pop her out of that thing she's got going on.

The Barbie dolls that need the most attention.

Hiroki

Toshiro

Mitsuaki

Zero

Wyatt

I always crave attention for Hiroki, and exploring his role as King. Toshiro and Zero have never really had much going on, even I tend to neglect them. Wyatt has a very hard time getting along with literally anyone other than @mythcaels Ellinon, so keeping interactions with him is like pulling teeth.

Thank you for your sacrifice.

Wyatt is--tired. Mentally, physically, in just about every single way he felt drained. More than he cared to admit, honestly. He had just finished the reports he needed to submit for the bar, his eyes struggling with focusing any longer, and had pushed himself away from the desk. It wasn't even that late, but he hadn't slept the night before which he thinks had irritated Ellinon a bit. Some days--the nightmares, the things that haunt him, are a bit to much for him to even bother trying to sleep.

Ellinon was in the bedroom, looking to have just finished a shower and getting dressed. Wyatt was quiet as he opened the door and stepped inside, sparing a glance at the clock to see it was about seven in the evening. He usually gets home around five, and they have dinner. On very rare days, Wyatt even cooks for him. He thinks Ellinon likes those days best.

He makes his way up behind the other and gently wrapped his arms around Ellinon's waist, tugging the other back against him until he holding him in his arms. He leaned his head forward and tucked his face into the crown of Ellinon's hair. He smelled good, whatever odd shampoo he used that was definitely magical in nature was a very good scent on him.

He lets out a soft breath and closed his eyes, feeling himself relax against him. His headache was working away a little bit.

"I love you."

unprompted | always accepting.

He finds himself standing in front of the large mirror that he had placed into their bedroom, brushing his long locks of hair and wondering if he should maybe even braid it ( of course this thought process was merely a distraction to try and kick and worries or irritation he had towards Wyatt for not sleeping out of his brain ). He knew Wyatt had been awake for simply too long at this point and he sighs and grips the hairbrush tighter, so much for distracting his mind from worries and irritation.

There's arms around his waist so suddenly that he is blinking in surprise for having missed the other's presence in the room entirely. He really was in his own head for a moment there worrying about the very person holding him, huh ?

Any frustration he has towards Wyatt from the day before and even now just drifts away with how the other holds him close, watching his every action in the mirror. His expression grows so soft and his heart does that fluttery thing again, so full of love for this man that holds him like this when he has these little moments where he wants to. His magic is singing praises and his heart feels like it could simply burst where it sits in his chest.

The moment is so tender and wonderful and then the other utters those three little words that are anything but little to him. To be loved by someone, by Wyatt, is the best thing in the world in his mind really. To hear those three words spill from the others lips is everything to him, hearing those words mean the absolute world to him. Fingers clench the hairbrush so tight in his hand as he feels himself growing quite emotional over the moment ( so much so that he does feel bad for Wyatt as an empath in the moment ).

He feels it, the tears in his eyes and Ellinon does not remember the last time he had ever cried about something but he's just happy, so genuinely happy for once in his life and loved, loved for the first time in his life too and he's overwhelmed by it all. It was hardly the first time the other had been honest about his feelings but it was just everything that this moment was that hit him and opened some kind of dam of emotions within him.

He blinks and tears tumble so freely down pale cheeks but smile settles so softly onto lips as he leans back into the hold that the other has on him. He knows that Wyatt can feel that he is swimming with so much love for him, he's probably radiating it in waves but he has to say it back and it tumbles from lips so softly.

❝ I love you too . . . so very much. ❞

[kinglyisms]

@daelete;; Wyatt and Ellinon. 𝐌𝐄𝐌𝐄𝐒 I had to much fun with this. TW: talks of slavery.

‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎ㅤWyatt doesn't forget that it's there, it's simple that the conversation of it doesn't come up. It's a bit like his real occupation. They're both aware of what it is, but they also don't talk about it. Not that Wyatt believes Ellinon has a problem with the fact he enslaves and sells people to the local psychopathic pureblooded Vampire. If he did, Wyatt is entirely certain he would say something about it.

‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎ㅤBut, despite all of that and the fact they're magically bound together, they don't really… talk? Was that the word he wanted? Aside from who Ellinon currently was and the history of his shop, he doesn't know anything else about him. Likewise, Ellinon has never asked about Wyatt. His family, his past, the reason he does the things he does. A part of him is actually grateful for that, there are some things you simply don't want to talk about. But the other parts? Maybe those influenced by the bond? They do wish for something more. That connection that comes from knowing everything about each other. From opening all of who you are up and letting someone else in.

‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎ㅤAnd perhaps that was part of what pulled them toward the small intimate moment they shared, a vulnerable breath where Wyatt had tugged Ellinon up to their bathroom and got him into the tub. It wasn't sexual, though that didn't mean it couldn't have been. Wyatt had simply searched for an intimate moment with the person who was occupying such a big part of his life now. Quietly taking it over like he had always belonged there and picking things apart. Making it him and apparently Wyatt too. Since he wasn't allowed to simply remove his existance form everything despite attempts to.

‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎ㅤHe had taken good care of Ellinon. Gently washing all of his body and then paying special attention to his hair. As long as it was he knew that Ellinon was careful with it, having special products he used and particular about how it's manhandled. Wyatt had washed and braided it, using the pins on the edge of the tub to get it up and out of the way, freeing up the rest of him for Wyatt to pay attention to. It's still remarkable to him, someone heavily scarred, how someone else can go through life with barely a mark on their skin. Though he knows all to well that not all scars are physical.

‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎ㅤSomewhere in all of this, when they were getting dressed, something on Wyatt had actually drawn Ellinon's attention. They've seen each other naked before, hard not to when they share a bedroom. The whip marks and burns along his back had been a shock the first time Ellinon had seen them and he hadn't pried, hadn't stared, which was perhaps why he didn't find the other thing.

‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎ㅤWyatt wears very high collared shirts for a reason, things that cover the entirety of the back of his neck. Always conscious of the thing on it. When he'd sat on the edge of the bed to finish getting dressed, he had heard the curious sound that Ellinon made before the sound of his steps quickly approaching. The first touch along his shoulders wasn't surprising but when he went to turn his head to glance up at the other, he'd felt them move.

‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎ㅤJust the slightest touch, the smallest brush of the tips of his fingers against the back of his neck and he suddenly felt as if someone had jabbed a poisoned tipped burning dagger right into his throat. Being used to the sensation of pain he didn't make a sound but he had jerked and dug his teeth right into the side of his cheek, biting hard enough to spill blood in his mouth. As quickly as the pain hit him Ellinon yanked his own hand back, either from Wyatt's reaction or whatever had lashed out at him in response.

‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎ㅤThe moment he stopped touching it the pain started to dwindle down, leaving him breathing heavily and a thin layer of sweater cover his skin. His own fingers had dug right into the fabric of his sleep pants, twisting it in his grip as he tried to keep control of himself. After taking a few deep breaths and feeling like he wasn't about to combust on the spot, he turned his gaze over toward Ellinon beside him. He caught his eyes, the way he was staring down at him in worry and fright.

‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎ㅤ‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎ㅤA conversation, then.

‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎ㅤOnce the other settled beside him he grabbed his shirt and pulled it over his head, allowing the turtle neck to settle along his hips properly. "It's a slave brand. Magically enchanted, as you could clearly tell. I haven't found a way to remove it."

‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎ㅤNot for a lack of trying.

‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎ㅤ"It made sure we didn't run away or that we weren't stolen. It's magic was tied to the leader of the slave ring and my owner. Both are dead now." But the magic still lingers, whatever monstrosity they had managed to create didn't vanish with their death, unfortunately. Wyatt has found ways around it, and for the most part it doesn't bother him. When he was fucking Casimir and the incubus accidentally touched it that had quickly ended whatever tussle they were having. At most he finds it inconvenient, unattractive and a bad memory. And people wonder why he drinks.

‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎ㅤ"My time spent with them has had lasting impacts, as I'm sure you've noticed. I never had a proper education, most of what I know is self-taught and I'll never escape the marks it's left. But I can ensure it never happens again."

‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎ㅤAnd that?

‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎ㅤThat is why he does what he does.

‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎ㅤIf he is the one in control then there's no one to control him.

‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎ㅤHe snatches up the cardigan on the bed and pulls it onto his body, fixing the collar along his neck and hiding away the mark that was still tingling along the back of his neck. Before he can properly stand from the bed to end this uncomfortable conversation he feels Ellinon grab the sleeve of his sweater. Turning back to the warlock again he finds the other's free hand reaching up and gently brushing along the side of his face. A tug, a simple guide and his forehead is suddenly pressed against the other's in what is perhaps one of the most intimate gestures of the night. Maybe, despite it all, they had grown a little closer tonight.

‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎ㅤ"i don't know how to fix this, but i'm not leaving."

‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎ㅤAnd what a ridiculous thing to say.

‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎ㅤ"It is not your job to fix me." He's not a project, though he is certainly damaged. Shaking his head slightly he doesn't dislodge the other, instead leaning just a bit more into him. "Why don't you sell me a dream instead, Elli? A simple life where it's just you and I. Nothing else in this ridiculous rotting world of miserable people."
