[Trust] for sender to lean against receiver as they pass out. // Cardan & Hel // @helreginn

There is no thought process to the movement. One moment, Cardan is standing still and erect at his wife’s side and the next, his weight pushes against her side, fingers fumbling for purchase. He had returned to Hallow Hall that morning alongside Balekin after a fairly lengthy stent at his father’s court, welcoming some of the unseelie courts who had come to discuss political matters Cardan cared little for with their king. He had not even wanted to attend but Balekin had insisted.

This will be good for you, Cardan.

Why? It isn’t like I will ever be king.

Balekin had not given an answer. Cardan had suspected he just enjoyed seeing his younger brother uncomfortable, or maybe he just wanted to make some sort of statement. He didn’t know and he didn’t care to find out. The true appeal of court would be the revelry that was sure to be thrown for their guests. His friends would be there, along with copious amounts of wine. As he usually did, Cardan drank himself silly. He drank himself beyond recollection.

The next morning - this morning - he woke to Balekin’s voice bouncing around his pounding skull. The sheets were wet, smelling of sweat and spirits; his shirt removed in a heap on the floor; and a horrible pain arched across his back. Whatever he had done, Balekin had not liked it. Perhaps it was a good thing he did not remember the night before.

Despite the injuries - treated by a servant with a bit of salve and bandaging, hidden behind his usual dark layered clothing - he was of course expected to go about his day. Lessons in history and politics before he left the palace beneath the hill, lessons in the blade when he returned. Cardan had felt the fragile adherence of healing flesh tear as he blocked and parried his brother’s blade, working harder than he might normally simply to avoid a graphic repeat of a night blessedly lost from his addled mind. Blood overfilled the bandages, dropped from beneath, still hidden under those layers as black as ink.

He did not want Hel to know. She would find out, of course. They shared their chambers, a washroom, a bed. But it would be better if, when she did, Balekin was not nearby. For both their sakes. A repeat of that particular scene would be just as disastrous in his mind.

The room spun as he straightened, hands trembling as he sheathed the blade, skin paler than usual as he walked the few steps to Hel’s side. He felt something like fear creep up in his throat but his limbs felt cold and numb. Balekin knew what he was doing, and Cardan wouldn’t let him do it. He had promised Hel protection and he would give it, even if it was protection against herself.

The door had barely closed behind the oldest prince when the darkness began to encroach upon his vision. The floor seemed to fall from beneath him just as his fingers took a handful of fabric at Hel’s waist, and then he felt nothing at all.

Kudos to Michael Langdon for somehow withstanding Sarah Paulson making the 🥺 expression. Twice.

I could never...

The moment those doe eyes sparkled at me, I'd give either of them everything. No Apocalypse? Fine, no Apocalypse. Yes, sure, I'll take you to my Eden of insane satanic elites.

Since you talked a lot about Talon's family I got curious. What is the relation between kings/ queens, high lords and guards. I know guards are really respected, but I also heard you mention that Talon's his father's heir, but he is a guard and his dad's a high lord?

I hope this question makes sense

This question makes lots of sense! Let me (try to) explain.

In every court, there is one royal family. This royal family has been there since the beginning and always provides the king/queen/regent of a court.

But each court also has noble families. The leaders of those noble families are called high lords/ladies. So a high lord is simply the head of a noble family.

It’s a position you inherit, which is why one of the high lord/lady’s children gets raised as an heir. Once the current high lord/lady retires/dies, their heir takes over the family business.

Now you might wonder what a high lord/lady is there for. Except for keeping their own family running.

For that you should know that since fae courts are pretty big, they are divided into districts (usually six) and each of those districts have a noble family as their “patron”.

So basically, what a high lord/lady does is manage “their” district. Mediating neighborhood quarrels, deal with people’s requests and pass them on to the king if they see it necessary. Stuff like that.

And lastly there is the royal guard. The guard is a group of people under the regents command, whose job it is to serve the crown and the people at court.

There’s different departments but in general their task is to keep the order, help with emergencies and protect the people if necessary, among other things.

A guard is something you can train to be. Unlike the position of a high lord/lady it’s nothing you get born as or can inherit. Nowadays everyone could become guard if they make it through the start test and the training.

High lords and ladies, together with the generals of the royal guard, are part of the “inner circle” of a regent, while guards (though they are highly reputable) are a whole different instance in a court’s system.

I hope I didn’t confuse you so far. Now to apply this all to Talon’s family:

Talon was born into a noble family. (Which kinda makes him a lord, just like Halea, as the daughter of a noble family, is a lady)

His father, Cyrus, is a high lord, so the head of the family (the patriarch of you will). His “job” is to care for the family and the people of the district he patrons.

Talon actively chose the guard career, so this is his “job” now, you could say. But he’s not just a guard, he is also his father’s heir.

That means that one day he’ll most likely have to retire as a guard and take his father’s place as the head of the family and become the new high lord.

But for now he’s just a guard. Well, technically still a guard in training, but let’s not be too nitpicky xD

I hope this answers your question! ^^

If Daeron would’ve stayed in King's landing instead of being ward to Oldtown. Would have Aegon taken Daeron on his 13th nameday to a brothel just like he did with Aemond? 💀

WHAT ELEMENT WRITER ARE YOU?

Air Writer

Exploring the darkness and light in the human soul is a delight, to you. You don't fear writing about MCD, Hanahaki or that suffocating angst. You are a master in flexibility, creating stories that can go from slice of life to mystery.

You're the horror story that starts lightly, and the reader just can't stop reading. Before you know it, the air in the room has disappeared and the reader is choking on their tears, while an invisible hand dries them.

Your style is simple, and really nice to read, a word takes you to the other, and then the other, and it's 3 in the morning and sleep is clinging on you, but you just can't stop.

Your prompts are *chef's kiss*, the absolute perfection. You mix every emotion like colors on a palette, and paint the whole world with the bluest smiles, and the prettiest golden eyes. Your readers can't be other than allured in by you, and once in, they have no escape.

Someone: Pushes bb Hel over.

BB Hel: Sigyn would SO not be proud of you.

[skypxllar]

Hel walked in Heidi's kitchen... but instead of getting a snack, she turned and descended the stairs that suddenly appeared.

"...." She can sense it. The energy was unmistakeable. This wasn't just some Giratina--

--it was the one that she was looking for.

Hel continued to descend as the energy strengthened. She walked past the Shadow Energy to the side and other unknown areas.

Eventually, she found a door and walked in it.... Before her, there was a large battlefield -- and the creature that she was looking for.

"...The darkest shadow hides but the darkest secrets...."

She closed the door behind her. The edges of her hand began to turn a dark purple. She was compelled to fight, for only through combat would she truly understand her other half....

...and only through combat will she better understand her own place in the universe.
