i have been waiting years for you. // @nightstriumph

__________🏹 HIS WORDS ARE QUIET, DRAWLING. she has heard this sentiment before && she sees how his eyes glaze over. he is in another time, another place. cruelty, in every sense of the word, grips his memory now. hybern's acts of war brought upon his person rip open scabbed over wounds from the mountain. he retreats into himself, she sees. when the pain, the torture, the violence come rearing to the forefront of his mind && the safety of home disappears to the ravages of the past. he had once told her that he had visions of her when amarantha's savagery peaked, that he held onto the images of a nameless hand painting to find comfort in a cold world. he believed in her all those years && so she does not falter now, even as the beast beneath his skin threatens to prowl, to reclaim what was lost. he does not scare her, he never will

🏹__________ THOSE HUMAN HANDS THAT HAUNTED HIS SOUL RISE TO HOLD HIS FACE BETWEEN. storm blue gaze meets starry violet && she can almost swear she feels the room contract around them, until there is no sound but their mixed breathing, no other people in the world except the two. heartbound, sworn, mated. for him, she would brandish every sword to beat back his demons. for him, she would carry the whole sky on her back. ❛   i know.   ❜ her voice is steady, reaching out to him to call him back to himself. back to her. back home. ❛   i'm here now && you will never be without me.   ❜ in her mind's eye, she tugs the bond. " come back to me, my love. "

All⭐Ash, Seren and Lilly

This is going to be pretty long so under cut!

Ash:

Metis - “I haven’t talked to him before but my littlest brother talks the world about him. All I know is that Ash seems alright in my book but should he hurt my brother, I won’t hesitate to castrate a cat.”Paradise - “He makes me feel butterflies in my stomach, makes my hearts soar and brightens my night like the moons. I love him and I want to be with him for as long as I live. I wish this wonderful emotion never fades, I want it burned into my memory even if things happen to not work. I.. I feel like he is my heartbound, isn’t that crazy? To feel so complete with somebody and the unbearable heartache when they’re not with you. Some nights I imagine I wasn’t king and we live on a nice farm - yet I know that’s incredibly selfish of me to abandon my kingdom and my siblings. Who knew love could make you feel so powerless yet wishing the euphoria never ends?” Prometheus - “I merely tolerate Ash because my brother loves him. Although he distracts the king from his duties and never acts proper, I won’t interfere with their courtship unless Ash upsets Paradise. I am the king’s knight, and I won’t let an oversized cat be the downfall of our people’s beacon of hope.”Rueste - “An interesting creature my brother is smitten with. Elusive and clever, for he managed to disable Prometheus for a time. Definitely good desired traits for heirs of the throne, and the feline appears adequate in making the king smile. Although I have suspicions he appears not what he seems..”

Seren:

Metis: “Prometheus absolutely needs a mate who can keep him in line and kick his ass when we’re not able to, and that mate is Seren. A spunky little fox who runs a tavern and makes hella great alcoholic drinks, she is everything I approve of for that grumpy mothchild of a brother. We stan for Seren in this palace.”Paradise: “I’m incredibly grateful for Seren. Somehow she achieved the impossible, making Prometheus fall head over moons with her. She’s the reason why Prometheus tries to be a better moth, for she made him feel emotions he hadn’t felt in decades. Changed his pessimistic view of the world. I haven’t seen Prometheus this friendly in ages and I wish them all the years of happiness.” Prometheus: “An enigma I cannot fully understand. She muddles my thoughts whenever she’s not around and when she is here I feel at peace. I am a mumbling mess around her, we snark to annoy each other for fun. Sometimes I don’t always tell her how much she means to me and it drives me mad because I don’t know how to say it without sounding sappy. I love her and I’d give up everything to keep her and our kits safe. The moons are giving me a second chance to see life in its wonders and I’m not going to lose her.” Rueste: “Seren the kitsune. Very stubborn and bold. Doesn’t back down from a fight and cares for the khajiit cub Lilly. Her drinks are well made and is a favorite of Prometheus’s and Metis’s. She hides her secrets well and it’s tough for me to analyze without seeming ‘nosy’ as my siblings would say. Nonetheless, their offspring will be very good fighters it seems, perhaps one day rivaling the heirs of the throne.”

Lilly

Metis: “this tiny child is a mischievous bookcaterpillar. Always experimenting all that magical stuff and giving Prometheus silver hairs for stressing him out. Hella spunky and mature for her age.”Paradise: “the first to warm up to Prometheus. Occasionally breaks vases here and there when she’s practicing her magic spells but hey kids will be kids! She’s always welcomed to come to the palace if she wants to use the library or practice her skills here.”Prometheus: “I see Lilly as my own daughter. I want her to have a safe childhood and grow into a responsible well rounded adult. She manages to stresses me out when she go on daredevilish adventures and I feel old when I don’t know some of the things she knows. Yet I fully support her curiosity and quest for perfecting her skills.”Rueste: “She spends much of her time reading books in the library. An endearing little cub but very know-it-all. Doesn’t seem much for interacting with kids her age but can handle fighting creatures much bigger than her. Niece of Ash the khajiit and adoptive daughter of my brother Prometheus and his mate Seren - so she’s regarded as one of our own.”
