Entry 1 - Silent Night

Semele belongs to @endlessly-cursed 💕

London, England - December 17th, 1997

She watched as the snow fell gently outside the living room window in the darkness of the evening. It was completely silent, the only sounds that could be heard was the resonant ticking of a grandfather clock on the opposite side of the room and her own quiet breaths.

She had white hair and her face was wrinkled from the passage of time, over eighty years in fact. The woman currently rocked back and forth in her rocking chair. Her eyes wandered around the room taking in the familiar sights of her house. The Christmas tree was the only source of light in the darkened room, its warm lights throwing a dim halo of light onto the nearby cold and empty fireplace. Dozens of picture frames were strewn across the mantle above it, the smiling faces of the woman’s children and grandchildren looking down at her. Her eyes then darted towards the front door, a gleaming golden wreath peeking back at her through the frosted glass.

The woman was alone in the house tonight as her family were away on holiday. She would normally be in bed at this time. However, tonight was different. Tonight she sat and waited.

The time passed slowly and silently. The rhythmic ticking of the clock and the dancing flurry of the snow lulled her. The clock read ten minutes past nine when the woman’s breaths slowed and her eyes drooped. The darkness took hold for what felt like forever and also no time at all. Before long, the grandfather clock chimed the new hour. The deep echoes stirred her from her sleep, her eyes flicking open and closed repeatedly as she roused.

It was a few seconds before she noticed the change within the dark room. A shadowed figure now stood in front of the fireplace, his back to the woman as he inspected the pictures.

Not even the darkest shadows could conceal the identity of this man from the woman. His long white hair shone through the darkness, mirroring her own.

“Hello, my daughter,” his deep voice finally broke the peaceful silence of the evening seconds before he turned around to face her.

A chill ran down her spine as her fathers cold eyes met hers. His face was sharp and handsome and had none of the wrinkles hers had. The last time she saw him was nearly fifty years ago and yet he was identical. It was like looking at a memory of the past.

“I knew you were coming,” Esmee Amaranthine’s voice was hoarse as she spoke to her father.

Eme answered with a deep chuckle, his hand raising up in the air as his eyes scanned the photo he currently held.

“Cute family. A shame you didn’t invite me to the wedding.”

“I would have, but you were too busy that day being locked up in Azkaban. And every day since.”

A chuckle escaped Eme’s lips, or was it a hiss? His mouth curled into a smirk but there was a hint of annoyance and anger behind his usually indifferent eyes.

“When I finally arrested you and threw you in there, I always knew it wouldn’t hold you forever.”

“It was a worthy attempt. You even went so far as to recruit your children and grandchildren to your cause. I recognized them instantly when they would come for inspections.”

“I guess fighting you runs in the family. Aunt Eleanor would agree,” Esmee replied flatly.

A silence stretched out again, the ticking of the clock taking over the room. Esmee took in her fathers face, her mind predicting what he would say next.

“They are far away from here. Don’t even think you could find them, I hid them well.”

“I guess we’ll see about that,” he shrugged coolly and placed the frame back on the mantle.

“You don’t scare me, you know. You never did. I knew you were coming for me. I’ve had fifty years to make peace with it,” Esmee stated, her eyes trailing one last time around her house. The Christmas decorations twinkled brightly, giving her comfort. Her eyes lingered for just a few seconds on the pictures behind Eme. “If you are going to do it, then do it.”

“Oh, you don’t get to rush this,” Eme grinned as he walked forward, his hand reaching into his coat.

The North Sea - Twelve Hours Earlier, December 17th

Eleanor watched Azkaban disappear into the horizon from her position on the deck of the Jörmungandr as they raced away. She didn’t know where they were going, but she almost wished she was still in there.

“What’s wrong? I thought you would be glad to be away from that hellhole,” Kaari called out from his spot at the bow of the ship.

“You have no idea what you have done,” she muttered, her hoarse voice almost lost over the crashing of the waves.

“What do you mean?”

“My brother. They will release him and he will come after me.”

“He will have to find us first.”

Eleanor could tell there was fear in his eyes that he tried to hide with a smile. She was good at reading people.

The ride was quiet after that, Kaari taking occasional worried glances at his passenger. It wasn’t until a few hours had passed that Eleanor’s tormented and confused mind started to remember the events before her capture.

“Wait! Do you know anyone named Esmee by any chance?”

“Esmee? I don’t believe I know her. Unless you are talking about that gorgeous redhead I met in a pub once,” Kaari grinned before seeing the scowl on Eleanor’s face. “But I doubt you are.”

“No, she would be around eighty or so. I don’t even know if she is still alive, but if she is you need to find her immediately. She needs protection.”

“What, why? Who is she?”

“It doesn’t matter. Just make sure she’s safe. Eme would want to kill her when he gets out.”

“Alright. Once we get to Skalafell I’ll contact the Resistance and get someone to find her.”

However, Eleanor didn’t look convinced. She hardly knew this man and put no trust in this Resistance. She owed them nothing for breaking her out so who’s to say he would keep his word?

Skalafell, Norway - December 17th, 1997, 6:38 PM

The wooden floorboards creaked under his boots as Kaari Arcano quickly dashed towards the fireplace in the kitchen of the Arcano house. With a flourish of his hand and a wave of his wand in the other, floo powder hit the stones and ignited. The flames roared from green into a scarlet red as the magic from Kaari’s wand activated a spell. Only a few seconds passed before the flames shifted and formed a face he knew all too well.

The beautiful face of Semele Thorne stared back at him through the blaze. He had to admit, she was twice as attractive when her lips and eyes were made of crimson fire.

“Calling me back so soon, Arcano? Once wasn’t enough for you? I thought you only did flings. I must have really made an impact on you,” she teased with a playful smile.

“This is strictly business, Ms Thorne. I have a job for you.”

Semele’s eyebrows shot up at the formal address, “Is that right? Why come to me?”

“Let’s just say I trust in your skill set. You are one of the most skilled people in combat and information gathering I’ve ever met. Well, besides me of course,” he added with a smirk at the end, dropping the formality and giving in to her charm so he could flirt for just a second.

“You flatter me, Arcano,” she replied with a sarcastic swoon.

“I should warn you, there is a chance you might run into a very dangerous individual. Do not engage with him under any circumstances. This is strictly a locate and retrieve mission.”

“Got it.”

“In fact, you don’t have to take the mission if you don’t feel comfortable with it. This man should not be underestimated. You will die if you fight him,” Kaari’s face suddenly became serious.

“I’m in,” Semele didn’t hesitate. “So who’s the priority?”

Esmee’s House, London, England - December 17th, 1997, 10:15 PM

The house was dark as Semele Thorne waited in the shadows across the street. Her sharp eyes narrowed and scanned her regular scouting pattern. There were no lights or signs of movement inside, nor anything similar on the nearby houses. The front door was closed and so were the windows. There was no obvious damage to any part of the house. No people walked along the street. Now was her chance.

She slipped out from her hiding place and briskly crossed the street, her head down and hands in her pockets as she tried to remain discreet. She would jump the fence and loop around to the back of the house and enter from there.

A few seconds later, after deftly unlocking the window with a wave of her wand, she found herself standing in a darkened kitchen. Semele waited and listened for any sounds of movement within the house but all she heard was silence. So she decided to enter the next room.

“Fuck,” she breathed, barely a whisper to break the silence.

A figure sat slumped in the rocking chair on the far side of the living room. Even from this distance and in low light, Semele’s deft eyes could still see the trails of blood down the woman’s face.

Immediately, her wand came out and she scanned the room top to bottom and left to right. Once she was certain she was truly alone, she quietly crept closer to the woman.

This was indeed Esmee Amaranthine. She was too late to save her. Blood dripped from her eyes, nose, and ears but there was no other obvious sign of injury. Semele knew this was indicative of the cruciatus curse. She was tortured with extreme pain until the stress on her system killed her. The blood itself was still bright red and fresh, so she must have just missed it.

Semele sighed deeply, shaking her head and hanging it remorsefully. What a terrible way to go. Kaari was right, the man who did this was dangerous.

She stood up and looked around the room again, this time taking in the small details of the woman’s personal life. The elegant grandfather clock ticked away as Semele looked upon the faces in the photos. Esmee had a wonderful and full life by the looks of it.

A thought struck her and Semele grabbed a picture frame, the same Eme once held only minutes ago. She flipped it over in her hand and undid the back, pulling the photo from its frame. She smiled as she found the names of the people within the photograph inscribed upon the back in loopy cursive handwriting.

Semele put the frame back down and tucked the picture safely into her coat pocket. She would report Esmee’s fate to the Resistance and then try to locate her family. They deserved to know.

Then, as quickly and quietly as she arrived, Semele Thorne left the house and disappeared into the cold winter night.

🖋 Gimme Dad!Kaari 🥺

He is literally so chaotic with his kids. Though with his first born when she’s very small he is instantly so cautious and worried and in protective soft mode. But then she grows to be a rowdy toddler and insists to follow him everywhere and never cries when she falls down so Kaari is like RECKLESS MODE ACTIVATED and puts her in a basket down the stairs and shit like that. She also loves going on Ryoko and being near dragons.

He’s a lot more calm with the other two as newborns and isn’t terrified. He doesn’t quite match the same craziness with Mik or Lenny purely because they have different energies and I know for sure that Mik prefers to sit quietly and read. He does play quidditch and work out but it’s more for fitness and meditation and not for the sheer joy of doing dangerous stuff.

Kaari spoils all three of them though. And doesn’t like to punish them, that’s Semele’s job 😌 and usually she punishes Kaari right along with them as he usually instigates the trouble.

Hi! Thank you so much for sending this in. From The Vaults is actually about getting into the heads of the characters from the series/game itself, not OCs. I’m so happy to see that you’re interested in this project, but I’m only accepting submissions about the canon characters for this one. Sorry, I should have made that clearer in the original post!

MA- Lennox Arcano-Thorne

"𝘿𝙖𝙧𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜, 𝙋𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝘾𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙞𝙨𝙣'𝙩 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙤 𝙨𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪. 𝘽𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙤𝙞𝙣𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙤𝙬𝙣 𝙨𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙮."

Name: Lennox Else Arcano-Thorne 

Nicknames: Lenny 

Birthdate: 8th of January, 2005 

Zodiac Sign: Capricorn 

Personality Type (MBTI): TBD 

Blood Status: Pureblood 

Nationality: Half-British, half-Norwegian 

Physical Appearance

Hair: Dark brown 

Eyes: Black 

Height: 1.66m 

Weight: 60kg 

Body Type: Lithe 

Skin Tone: Fair 

Distinguishing Marks (scars, birthmarks, etc.): Lenny has white hair on the nape of her neck and a tattoo of her power

Background

Hometown

Lennox grew up mostly on Skalafell, though she vacationed on Thorne Abbey and Fossan. She had a fairly good childhood, growing up with three cousins and two older siblings. Though, at age seven, due to a dare of her cousin Dayamanti, she chased a wild animal and, when ‘tagging’ the creature, it dropped dead. Her wails and screams could be heard all over Skalafell, and her cousin Dafne dragged her out of there and did her best to comfort her. Her parents arrived and Semele bought her gloves from a special material, matching with her wardrobe palette. 

Family

Mother: Semele Alexandrina Arcano-Thorne 

Lenny always admired her strong, beautiful and badass mother, and soon became her role model, always following her around and mimicking her, and soon became her copy. They have a close relationship and relate to one another. 

Father: Kaari Arcano ( @kathrynalicemc​ ) 

Kaari is Lenny’s favourite man in the world. She loves him very much and always loved to ride with Ryoko through the skies and hear of his days fighting for the PR 

Sister: Syvanna Arcano-Thorne ( @kathrynalicemc​ ) 

Lenny loves and admires her sister, but dealing with her hijinks and shenanigans sometimes is exhausting and is always saving her from trouble and bailing her out of jail when her mother can’t. She still loves her and ends up dragged to her troubles, much to her chagrin. 

Brother: Mikael Stefan Arcano ( @kathrynalicemc​ )

Relationships

Significant Other/Love Interest: Daphne Lillian Seymour

Daphne and Lennox met after Hogwarts, when Lenny bumped into Daphne while she was filming a TikTok. Lennox had been holding a latte and spilled all over it. Daphne felt terrible and invited her to a Starbucks. They exchanged numbers.

Over the next months, they exchanged messages and Daphne introduced Lennox to the Muggle world and started to have feelings for one another. Wanting to impress her, Lenny invited her to Skalafell, and despite her anxiety of her disliking it, she adjusted incredibly well and got her parent's approval of the relationship. She asked Daphne to be her girlfriend before she departed back to London.

After Lennox gtaduated university, she and Daphne bought lands on Valhalla and lived there and also between Thorne Abbey. They had one daughter: Annette Arcano-Seymour, whom Daphne carried, for Lenny's necromancy made it dangerous to carry children. She made peace with it and devoted her life to her daughter and her wife.

Friends: Jupiter Adèlie Durand ( @cursed-herbalist ) 

Jupiter is like a big sister to Lennox and is already a part of the family when she’s born, and one of the people who help her see beauty in her powers and the good she could do with it. She loves listening to her astronomy facts which help her when she’s having a nightmare 

Elio Amédée Durand ( @cursed-herbalist​ ) 

She always found Elio handsome, but never fancied him, deeming him like a brother to her. She learned all kinds of history and filmography with him and loved every second of it. 

Rivals: TBD 

Trivia

Lennox has a crippling fear of becoming power-hungry and hurting somebody like her ancestor Azora Arcano. She grew up with tales of the harm she did to the dragons and her maternal family, assassinating her grandmother and hurting a dragon. 

She hates confrontation and will always choose to be pragmatic. When she looses her cool, she loses control of her actions 

Semele made her heir to the Thorne fortune and estate despite being the youngest 

She vowed to Dafne to never use her power against her 

She’s her mother’s daughter 

When she was younger, after the incident, she didn’t speak to Dayamanti for two weeks, for she thought this was all her fault. Her mother and grandmother had to convince her that it wasn’t and it was bound to happen 

She, like her brother Mikael and cousin Dafne, went to university in Yale and graduated in political science

Semele: You're saying I can't fight because I'm a woman!

Kaari: No, I'm saying you can't fight because you're wearing a wedding dress!

Semele: C'mon, even Aldéric could do it!

Aldéric: Probably not, but I'd make a killer bride
