It's not normal for the coil behind your navel to tighten with every single button that he opens on his shirt. It's not normal for your mouth to water when the dress shirt is finally open, and you can admire the glimpse of skin that is discreetly presented. It's not normal for your lips to tingle with desire to kiss the tattoos he uncovers when he pushes his shirt off his body. Heaven knows you didn't even think that this elegant man had tattoos, but he does, and you want to trace every single line with your mouth.

Who is ready for a surreal and ✨Spicy✨ chapter of my Dark!Horvath fic??

[mushroomsie224]

Rewatched Cedric's Apprentice and the first thing I realised was that I remembered the episode name wrong? I always thought was 'The Sorcerer’s Apprentice'. Oh well.

Cedric is always a delight to see, of course. I love his song here.

Some bad quality screenshots because why not:

Wow he is short.

That posture would make my mother faint...

Aw look at him!! So happy he got it right, and he has someone to share the accomplishment with for once!

Sidenote but I didn't realise how drastically Sofia changed throughout the seasons. She acts so different here, so much more like a kid. My poor sweet, innocent child...

Aw proud uncle :)

I want to draw this sometime. However, his eyes freak me out just a smidge when you can see the colour in them.

I HAD FORGOTTEN HOW CUTE THIS PART WAS. I HAD FORGOTTEN HOW CUTE THIS WHOLE EPISODE WAS ACTUALLY. It's so different from the later episodes that it feels almost weird how different it is!

...I get why one would ship them (I don't, not seriously anyway). Out of context this makes great bunker fuel.

Always behind you….

Excuse me, I’m just gonna vomit this out-

The old sorcerer never had much interest in the common mortals that surrounded this deary world. They all are beneath him, so inadequate to magic users, honestly, how could Merlin see it as a sorcerers job to protect them when they have the power to rule?

Never did see why the need to seek out companionship until he met you.

Maxim was in a new city, so many new buildings and sights that threw him off for a second, but it was that second that you saw him being lost and offered him some help. You didn’t just give him directions, you walked along with him, chatting trivial things like ‘Doctor Who’ or ‘What color do you trust’. But it only made him feel seen, you made him feel a forgotten sense. A sense he thought was gone after Veronica.

Horvath moved on front that day, passing you off as a pleasant thing in his day but then he saw you again in a different part of the city. Curiosity filling his mind and he followed you.

And it only lead him down a path that one would only describe as ‘A twisted path of obsession’. But he didn’t care, he felt that old desire rising in his wicked hear once more and he’d be dammed if he let it go.

He soon learned of your name, where you live, your job, whatever is connected to you, he knows. Soon there wasn’t a single thing he doesn’t know about you and it makes him ill.

Why now must he find a soulmate? Why is it a simple mortal with no ambition in life has fought his attention?

Damn it all, he needs that love, he wants to hear your voice close to him, needs to feel how soft your skin is, he NEEDS you with him.

Perhaps this world isn’t better off dead, not if it means he could snatch you from that place you call a home and into his ever doting care

With the Stroke of a Brush

Maxim Horvath X F!Reader

Chapter 2, Complimentary colours

Continuation from Chapter 1

Rating: Explicit (18+)

WC: 2000

Soulmates, soul bonding, idiots in love, kissing, body painting, foreplay, smut, (a world where magic is normal)

Your heart was beating wildly in your chest as you sketched his features. You could feel his eyes boring into you, watching your every move. Glancing at him now and then, so you could compare with your painting, kept bringing you out in a hot blush.

"Are you always so easily flustered?" He asked, breaking the silence.

You hide your face behind your canvas.

"No. It's just the way you're staring at me"

"Admiring"

"Mm"

You peek out from the side of your canvas to meet his eyes again.

"I'm admiring. Not staring"

A big smile split your face as you look down at the floor, once again feeling the heat return to your face.

"You know, I find your blushing rather cute. I don't want you to hide it from me"

God! Does he want me to completely melt?!

He smiles warmly at you when you force yourself to fully move back, to allow him a full view of you.

"I-I think I'm almost finished" you whisper.

Switching paint brushes, you dip into the dark blue again. You flick the brush forward a few times, forming random blobs over your work.

"Do you have a favourite colour, Y/N?"

"Yes, orange. Why?"

"Do you think you could add some orange?"

You stop painting to look at him, willing him to explain.

"I'd like your orange to dance with my blue"

You felt your heart swell at his words. The heat that started on your face now spread over your whole body. Pulling your eyes off him, you move to pick up a clean brush. Once you'd mixed enough to form your favourite shade of orange, you hold your hand out beckoning him to you. Leaving his cane on the chair, he slowly makes his way towards you. Suddenly you felt nervous about letting him see your painting.

What if he doesn't like it?

Now standing beside you. You watched his eyes look over your painting but his expression was unreadable.

"Y/N...this is stunning" you let out the breath you'd been involuntarily holding.

"I'm glad that you see me in such a handsome light" he smiles down at you.

At a loss for words, you take his large hand in yours and place a kiss in the middle of his palm.

Now it was his turn to blush. You were glad that he was affected by you just as much as you were by him.

Putting the brush now coated with orange in his hand, you begin to lead his hand to the canvas but he doesn't let you.

"I don't want to ruin your work"

"You won't. I'll guide you"

You smile up at him as he let's you move his hand forward. With your hand still on top of his, you begin to move around letting the brush curve in a wavy pattern. Once you'd created almost flame-like strokes with the orange, you reach for the blue coated brush with your other hand and add some similar strokes around the orange. You take the brush from him and tap it forward lightly, creating some small orange dots to mingle with the large blue ones that were scattered over the suit.

"Is this close to what you wanted?"

When you're met with silence, you turn to see that he is no longer looking at the painting but at you. You smile, tilting your head slightly to get his attention. He smiles back and nods.

"Beautiful" he whispers, brushing a piece of hair out of your face.

"You aren't even looking at it"

The mischief in his eyes stops you from giggling. He places his hands on your hips and fists your oversized painting shirt, pulling you slowly to him.

Only at that moment did you realise what you'd been wearing this whole time. While he was in a amazingly expensive looking suit, you were in your massive painting shirt which completely hid your shape and a pair of old leggings. You didn't feel attractive at all beside him and yet he still seemed to find you desirable.

Catching on to your thoughts, he brings a hand under your chin to lift your gaze away from his clothes and back to his eyes. He looks deep into your eyes for a few seconds, before leaning in to kiss you softly. His lips quickly find their way to your jaw and then down your neck, each kiss leaving a burning tingle on your skin from his beard. Your eyes fluttered closed as you felt his hands rub up your sides slowly, to eventually stop at the first button of your shirt. Placing one more kiss to your neck he lifts his head enough to look at you, asking for permission. You instantly nod.

"Please"

Your eagerness brings a dimpled smile to his face, making your heart skip for the millionth time. He starts undoing your shirt leaving a trail of kisses on every bit of new flesh he uncovers. Once he has your shirt and bra on the floor, you rub your hands up from his chest to his shoulders making his suit jacket slide down his arms. He drifts down from your neck to latch on to your breast, his hand coming up to fondle the other. Your hands glide through his hair, keeping him close to you. His wet mouth around you makes you moan which encourages him to start nipping around your chest. Forgetting your surroundings, you move back a little and knock your palette off the table causing paint to splat around your feet. The clatter makes him leave your breasts which you refrain from whining at. Your eyebrows knit together in confusion when he gets down on one knee and dips his index and middle finger in the blue paint now splattered on the floor. He looks at the paint on his fingers for a second before coming back up to you. Placing the tips of his painted fingers just under your chin, he leans in, your noses almost touching.

"It would be a shame to leave such a beautiful canvas untouched, don't you think?"

You gulp with anticipation as you nod in agreement. Your stunned silence makes him smirk.

"I want to hear you, sweetheart"

"Y-yes" you manage. "It would be a shame"

"I knew you would agree"

Without breaking eye contact with you, he let's his fingers glide down between your breasts and down over your stomach. You shiver as the paint cools your heated skin. Wanting to do the same for him, you hurriedly get him out of his shirt as he helps you out of what little clothes you have left on. Seconds later you're both finally bare to each other. He kisses you almost bruisingly as he tries to move you down to the floor with him but he stops when you part from him. Kneeling down, you pick up the fallen palette and lift it to him. He smiles at your commitment to his idea and places his whole hand in the paint this time. You reach for the orange, dipping both of your palms in. Your hands immediately fly to his chest, eager to finally squeeze the firm flesh. You hum in approval as you paint your way further down his stomach.

Having now coated his front in paint, you let him lay you down until your back hits the carpet. His clean hand goes down between your legs and rubs up your folds causing you to arch against him.

"Maxim" you moan, his eyes jump to yours.

"I can't be patient much longer"

He snickers as he continues to tease your clit, moving his painted hand up to rub your breast, worrying your nipple.

"P-please, Maxim! ... I'm on fire"

"I know, sweetheart" he kisses up your body and stops a breath away from your lips.

"So am I"

He crashes his parted lips to yours, allowing your tongues to play with each other. You feel his girthy shaft rub between your folds a few times until he aligns himself. Even though you were more than wet enough to accommodate him, you still felt a twang of discomfort as he starts to push his way in. When he eventually bottoms out, he lets you get used to the feeling before moving. His mouth kisses, licks and nips all around your chest and neck to distract you as he begins to pull out of you. The discomfort quickly gives way to pleasure when he thursts back in with a bit more force that makes you moan out. With your moans spurring him on, his thursts speed up, hitting you deeper, almost knocking the breath out of you. Your hands fist in his hair to bring him as close as possible to you.

"Agh, M-maxim...I..."

He bites down on your neck, his hips never stopping. That's all you need to go over the edge, your orgasm crashing over you. He slows his pace to savour the feeling of you contracting around him while smoothing his hands up your quivering thighs. Floating down from your high, you whisper.

"Use me"

He thursts hard once at your words, hitting your cervix making you moan his name. You watch as he runs a hand down your front, for his thumb to press down firmly on your clit. His shallow thrusts turns to forceful pumps, pushing against your cervix with every snap of his hips. With his thumb starting to roll on your clit you could already feel the heat pooling through you again. He pushes his face into the crook of your neck, wanting to hear your moans right next to his ear. His thursts become more erratic as he nears his end, his groans now directly in your ear was helping you reach your second. He could feel your nails beginning to dig into his back, hard enough to create crescent moon indents.

"Cum with me, Y/N"

You tugged at his hair as you came again, which pushed him to his own release. Most of his weight slumped on top of you while he spilled in inside of you; he tried to lift himself so he wouldn't crush you but you welcomed it. Taking him longer to come down than you, you embraced him until his breathing returned to normal. A minute or two later you felt his body lift from yours but his head didn't leave your neck.

"I love you, Y/N"

Your heart practically burst; turning your face into his, you place a lingering kiss on his temple.

"I love you, Maxim"

You felt him exhale deeply before he smiled against your skin, almost like he was worried that you didn't feel the same. Realising he was still inside of you, he removed himself and sat up to look into your eyes.

You smile at his redded face, moving some strands of hair off his sweaty forehead.

"I think I suit you" he smirks.

Eyeing down your body, you follow his gaze. You see he means his colour. Aswell as the trail of paint down your front, you notice large blue hand prints on your thigh and hip. You look up his body that was in a similar state. A smear of orange paint was dragged up his back and much smaller hand prints were dotted all over his chest. You giggle at the mess you're both in.

"You know, blue and orange do compliment each other"

His face lights up. "I know now"

Bringing you up with him, he sits back so you could sit in his lap. You thumb his dimpled cheeks as he smooths his hands up and down your bare back.

"That is what I wanted" he says, looking over your shoulder at the forgotten painting.

You stifle a laugh at the fact that this all started from him not answering your question. You rest your forehead against his, both of you closing your eyes in contentment.

"I'm glad you like it, Maxim"

Who’s ready for an angsty chapter of my Dark!Horvath fic?

[theolivetree123]

Elias's Fantasmic Adventure!

My 200 follower special!

(More under the cut!)

Event Summary

When Elias was younger, he always loved to read fairytales. Yet, there was one book that told a story that stuck with him till the present day. The story was about a creative and joyous mouse who, while asleep, dreams of himself on a spectacular journey through the depths of his own imagination. Elias loved that story, but as the years went on, the book fell into obscurity. No one in all of Twisted Wonderland seemed to know anything about this book! Elias thought he had been dreaming about it for years until he saw the same book in NRC's library. Though it was covered in dust, Eilas still felt the exact same spark that he had felt when he was little. As to not let the story fall into obscurity again, Elias begged Crowely to find a way to let people know about the book, yet Crowely couldn't help him. Elias almost ran out of ideas until he remembered a rhyme his mother would tell him.

Here in your mind

It’s magic you’ll find

When out of the night

Dark forces ignite

To blind you with frightening schemes

If you use your might

To brighten the light

You'll create night of wondrous dreams

This inspired Elias to put matters into his own hands. With funding from Kalim, Elias sought to put on a wonderful water and light show spectacular as a homage to his favorite fairytale. But, he will need actors and dancers! Help Elias create a nighttime fantasmic!

Actors and Dress Code

In the fairytale, the magical mouse goes on a trip through his mind. In his dreams, he sees wondrous, beautiful, and dangerous things. Since this live show is supposed to be inspired by that story, Elias would like all actors to dress appropriately for whichever part you may be going for. Of course, there is still a lot of room for you to be creative!

In this show, Elias will be playing the part of the mouse, who, fast asleep, dreams that he is a mighty sorcerer's apprentice with the power to control water, color, and magic.

In the original story, the mouse sees things such as:

A vibrant jungle

Elephants on parade

A Genie who can grant any wish

A large ocean with all sorts of creatures

Pirates

Fairies

Beautiful princesses

Evil monsters

Powerful dragons

With these in mind, you can decide how you want to be perceived in Elias's dream! Do you want to be a beautiful prince or princess? Or do you want to change Elias's dream into a nightmare?

Here's some references:

For your character's outfits, make them vibrant and fantastical! Anything can happen in Elias's dream!

If you're still stuck, then go watch the original Fantasmic! It should give you ideas for your character's outfits. (Yes, I know that the link is the outdated version, but tbh they didn't change much from the one linked and the updated one so IT'S FINE)

Rules

No NSFW!

This event will start today (September 3rd) and end on September 30th!

Anyone can participate! Whether it's an OC, canon character, or even a staff member.

You can participate by making cards, writing fanfics, or drawing fanart! Anything is cool!

Headcanon: Cedric's first love was the previous queen of Enchancia, Lorelei.

I didn't created this headcanon, it has been around the fandom for some time, but I wanted to do my take on it.

TW: death, not being able to have kids, the queen died during the birth of her children, unrequited love, rejection, grief.

Cedric met Lorelei when he was a young apprentice, right before he started studying at Hexley Hall.

It happened when Lorelei's parents (the queen and the king from a nearby kingdom) came to visit the Enchancia castle for political contracts and peace treaties with King Roland I (again, this isn't my idea, it's from a fanfic). They spent some months in Enchancia and Lorelei soon made friends with the children in the castle, such as Roland, Cedric, Cordelia and Tilly, and as much as she loved everyone else's company, Cedric was her best friend and she could always count on him.

School started and Roland, Tilly and Lorelei started studying at the royal prep, while Cedric and Cordelia went to Hexley Hall. Because of the friendship between King Roland I and Lorelei's parents, and also the proximity between these kingdoms, they often travelled to Enchancia, sometimes even to go on vacation and spend some time with their close friends.

That way, Lorelei often spent her time playing with the boys and having girl talk with the girls, Cedric shared the little amount of spells he knew at the time, and they often went to the gardens, it was their place to hang out.

Cedric didn't had many friends, even before the incident. He had an older sister, and she was the closest friend he had, but despite for Cordelia, Roland was always busy with prince stuff and him and Tilly were never really close, so when Cedric wasn't on Hexley Hall with his classmates, he only had Cordelia and Lorelei.

When the incident happened, Cedric was around 9 years old, and his life was never the same ever since. Everyone started to see him as a nuisance, he got dirty looks in the hallways and cruel comments, and those white bangs on his head didn't help him forget his mistake (or who he believed he was- a burden, good for nothing, and the worse sorcerer of his bloodline). Cordelia wasn't so close to him anymore, even still being his sister, she was acting like his father and always pointing out his behaviors and mistakes, so Cedric didn't felt like her friend anymore.

The only person who still saw him for the person he is was Lorelei. She was like an angel in his life. It didn't mattered how many times she saw him failing, for her, Cedric was still an amazing young sorcerer — and friend. While Cedric was constantly bullied at Hexley Hall and Roland stopped being his friend, Lorelei stayed.

He didn't saw her everyday because she studied in a different school and they were from different kingdoms, but they always spent some time together when Lorelei's family came to visit the kingdom, some little times per month, and whole travels around 1 or 2 times per year.

The frequency of Lorelei's family's presence at Enchancia Castle and the friendship she had with the princes sparked conversations about what a cute couple Lorelei could make with Roland when they grew up. And that wasn't a big deal for Cedric, because they all knew, from the start, that Roland and Lorelei would be a couple, whether it was due to an alliance of kingdoms, or even simply because they were very close and would look adorable together. When Cedric was little of course he was a little jealous of Lorelei with her friends, it wasn't romantic at all but rather the fact that he wanted to spend more time with her, since the other children already had enough friends and he didn't. And yes, he knew about the closeness between Roland and Lorelei, but Cedric didn't mind since he only saw himself as her friend, almost like how he felt with Cordelia some years ago.

As the years passed, Cedric continued to be mistreated. The children were growing up and Roland's behavior was becoming harsher towards Cedric. He wasn't a complete idiot, he was still the usual Roland as always, but now he was completely invested in the thought that Cedric was a bungler, and Cedric hated that. Cedric missed their friendship more than anything in this world. Due to the judgments of everyone, even his own family and classmates at Hexley Hall, Cedric became more reclusive and lonely, except for his raven Wormwood who was always by his side. Cedric wasn't rude and always felt less than others, apologizing for any minor inconvenience, but when he was alone he complained about the life he had, he was becoming bitter and reclusive.

Lorelei always tried to help Cedric and convince people to believe in him, but it didn't change his life, especially since she wasn't there every day. She tried to convince Roland to trust Cedric a little more, and also to apologize for the times he was harsher with him, which worked from time to time, but it didn't change the way Cedric and Roland thought about each other. On the other hand, Lorelei was getting closer to Roland and rumors about their romance were gaining more prominence as they got older. Cedric was worried, because despite knowing that Roland was a good person, he couldn't trust him because of the way Roland saw Cedric- even though he couldn't blame him for that, everyone saw him that way. He had concerns about his great friend Lorelei courting one of the people who made him feel so bad, but he knew that because Lorelei wasn't Cedric, Roland wouldn't be mean to her... which reassured him in some aspects, but in others it made him feel even worse.

Around Prince Roland's 17th birthday, King Roland I passed away. Although Roland was very young, the queen did not want to take the throne and neither did Princess Tilly, so Roland was the successor. He always wanted to be king and his family decided to give him that title, even if it was a little too soon. At this age, Lorelai had gained permission to travel alone between kingdoms and only needed to take a carriage, so she visited whenever she wanted. Due to Roland's grief and his new role as king, he was very tired and overwhelmed, and needed Lorelei's help more than ever. They got even closer to eachother and the feelings they were developing for quite some time now were starting to really show up.

Cedric however wasn't any better. His life remained the same and so did his frustration. But now there was an even worse little problem, a problem he had been struggling with since he was 13 years old. He was in love with Lorelei. Cedric felt like she was the only person who understood him, but not only that, she was the only one who was nice to him. Lorelei was like a morning breeze that brought him a breath of fresh air whenever he came into her presence. She was beautiful, polite, kind, and everything about her brought butterflies to his stomach. He had been trying to suppress it for a long time, but seeing her getting close to Roland broke his heart, and Cedric didn't even have the right to complain.

Everyone knew that even though they weren't officially a couple, Lorelei and Roland belonged to each other. Cedric on the other hand was just a newly appointed royal sorcerer, and was an idiot in his own right. He didn't think he was smart, attractive, talented, and he wasn't even royalty. A princess was way out of his league, especially one as beautiful and close to Roland as Lorelei. Instead of mourning his unrequited love, Cedric accepted that this was how it had to be and put himself in his place. But he couldn't help but feel his heart melt every time she hugged him and told him he was the best friend she could ever have.

Cedric kept his feelings to himself and let his friend live her life the way it should be, and the way she wants. He also remained bitter about the whole issue of his social life and wondered if people would recognize his value if he became the king, but how? The idea became his favorite daydream, not only because he wanted others to recognize him, but also to get revenge for what they did to him... and he knew that Lorelei would hate the idea. As he watched her, Cedric imagined what she would feel when she found out what he was up to with the kingdom she loved so much, and with Roland, so he kept that from her too.

While Lorelei strengthened her bond with Roland, Cedric still saw her and they were still great friends. Spending time with her made his mind light and he forgot about the problems in his life. They would stay in the gardens at night looking at the stars and talking about how they were feeling about life, things that were happening in each other's kingdoms, and generally taking a break from the routine. And many of those times Cedric felt like kissing her, ending once and for all what he felt in his chest... but he couldn't bring himself to do it. She wouldn't want to have anything with someone like him, and even if she wanted, she couldn't. Sometimes, in those same moments, he felt that Lorelei wanted him back too, but he knew he was just being deluded.

Extra paragraph (you can consider it part of the story or not): In one of these nights, however, something happened between them. The night was so peaceful and they were feeling so comfortable with each other that they shared their first kiss. The moment was like a dream — but one that Cedric immediately needed to interrupt as soon as their display of affection finished, because he couldn't let it develop into something bigger, and he couldn't let himself believe that he had a chance with her. Furthermore, Lorelei was Roland's and there was no debate about that, even if they weren't even courting yet, Lorelai was not and could never be his. Lorelei apologized to him immediately, knowing how sudden this was, and Cedric did the same. They never spoke about that again.

It didn't take long for the news that Roland and Lorelei were courting to spread throughout the castle and both kingdoms. Everyone loved the couple, even the villagers, and they had everything they needed to be the sweetest royal couple in decades, after all, the people were waiting for their romance to happen for years.

It was around the age of 25 that Roland and Lorelei announced their marriage. Cedric was happy for them, he was genuinely happy for Lorelei's happiness (maybe not for Roland's though), despite pushing his feelings aside. It was during an afternoon that Lorelei went to him to ask to be the best man at her wedding, and despite really wanting to refuse, Cedric couldn't bring himself to do it. She was his best friend and they grew up together. It was clear that this wasn't Roland's idea, because he would never choose an idiot to have such an important role on their wedding — But Lorelei, on the other way, always defended him from Roland. And then Cedric accepted, and the wedding was beautiful.

Roland and Lorelei rode throughout the village in a carriage, complete with rice throwing and music, alongside the commoners who shouted their names in chorus or stuff like "long live the king and queen!". It was amazing to see, and Cedric was happy for them, especially for Lorelei, who looked beautiful in her wedding dress and happier than she could ever be if she were with Cedric.

A few years later, at their late 20s, Roland and Lorelei tried to have successors. They didn't tell anyone about this for obvious reasons, until the situation started to become frustrating, and they no longer knew what to do. They consulted doctors, and Lorelai herself asked Cedric for a magic potion or spell that might just make it work, but it was no use (and, well, that was indeed something unsettling for him to know). Roland and Lorelei had already given up, and soon after, Lorelei simply started having dizziness and symptoms, and then they discovered that it was true, they were expecting a baby. The entire kingdom celebrated with joy, and Cedric, even though it hurt a bit, also did. Lorelei was very happy, and for that, he was glad.

Time passed and several months later, Lorelei went into labor. It was a very complicated procedure for the doctors who were present, of course. They suspected something wasn't right as soon as they started, and after a very difficult and painful afternoon, she had two twins, one 7 minutes apart from the other. She saw her two children and was so happy to have them, and the names she was previously deciding on whether she would have a boy or a girl were now both being used. King Roland was called and some other important people too, like Tilly, Baileywick, the former queen, and Lorelei's family, who were informed about the labor a few hours earlier. Everything was going great, but then Lorelei kept complaining of constant pain, and she wouldn't stop bleeding.

The meeting for the birth of the heirs, then, became something darker than it should have been. The doctors examined her and found that she was bleeding too much, and that unfortunately, they couldn't do anything. Maybe in another time, where medicine was more advanced, but not in Enchancia yet. They informed her and her family that, with the way it was going, Lorelei would not survive until tomorrow, or even until that day's night. The gathering for the birth of the babies became a condolence gathering for the Queen on her deathbed. That's how Cedric came slamming the door, and running until he knelt next to Lorelei. She was pale as a ghost, as if the joy on her face had disappeared.

With her lying there, on the verge of death, Cedric wanted to tell her the truth, but he couldn't. He couldn't do that, even if the room was empty and there were only the two of them there. Cedric couldn't see her like this, and after saying goodbye to her, he returned to his tower at dusk because he couldn't stand there and watch her die. And then, as the doctors said, Lorelei died as soon as night fell.

Cedric looked for many to blame. At first, Cedric had hatred for the twins, because if it weren't for them tearing her body in half, Lorelei would still be alive and full of light. But after his conscience took over, Cedric understood that it made no sense to be angry at such innocent beings for an unfortunate incident, especially Lorelei's children, who she loved so much and wanted so much to have. Instead, for a time, Cedric hated Roland, because if there hadn't been this miserable tradition of always having to create heirs for the throne, Lorelei would still be alive too. But in the end he knew that this was stupid too, since Lorelei always loved children and wanted these babies so much.

He was angry with Roland, but that's always been the case. He wanted to blame him for all the problems in his life, but he knew he couldn't. Roland didn't know that his wife would die too, and he also loved her as much as Cedric did. In truth, there was no one to blame in Lorelei's death, and things happened simply because that's life. It took Cedric a while to accept this, but he did.

(And if at the time he ended up finding out that Lorelei was only pregnant because Roland made a wish at a wishing well, even though he knew she was incapable of having children, Cedric would have had a big fight with him. Not a fight of words, but one of shouting, pushing, punching and who knows even worse. It would be a violent fight where at least one of them would be bedridden, and in Cedric's case, in the dungeon).

Over time, Lorelei's absence in his life was painful, but it certainly eased as time passed... However, on the other hand, unfortunately now Cedric was alone with Roland's (and the whole kingdom) ignorant comments. He had no one else to find comfort in, no one to understand him, just Wormwood- the crow, and only friend of his for a long time. Increasingly lonely and increasingly distant from social life, Cedric became a bitter and sullen sorcerer. The desires he always had to take the throne remained stronger than ever, and he always tried to find a way to achieve them, while he sank deeper and deeper into his loneliness and unhealthy habits, which he always had too, but which got worse after Lorelei's death, and he didn't even notice.

Cedric didn't like spending time with the young princes, both because he didn't like children, children are to messy and he can't stand loud cries, he didn't get along with them and the king's children reminded him a lot of Lorelei (and her death). As time passed and the wound healed, the reasons became more about the fact that he didn't know how to deal with children, despite sometimes seeing the queen in some of the heirs' traits.

As he became more and more self-centered and moody, King Roland remarried, this time to a commoner named Miranda, who soon became the queen. Just a week after her wedding ceremony, there was the arrival of the new Princess Sofia and the expectation of a ball in her honor in a few days.

As a gift from her new father, Sofia received the amulet of Avalor, which immediately made Cedric attracted to its magical properties and the use he could make of it in taking the throne. What he didn't know was that this little girl would be the cause of change in his life, and that in her he would have the friend he hadn't had for many, many years.
