Dark King Cadmus: The Village Demattess.

"What do you mean they are scared of me?" asked Cadmus, rubbing his horns in frustration. There was something soothing about the action, akin to rubbing one's temples.

"Well, my lord, you did descend from the sky in a cloud of black smoke with several dark shades following behind you. I know they are here to help the poor people of this village, but you might want to work on your presentation."

"I thought they would be comfortable with it. I mean, this is the Dark Lands; surely they are used to this kind of presentation."

It was the servant's turn to self-soothe by rubbing his temples. "...My lord, before you took the throne of the Dark Lands, the king didn't normally send dark shades to hand out food. Usually, it meant a village was about to be razed for lack of taxes or use."

"Oh... right. Do you think I should make a speech?"

"Probably. Avoid using words like 'peasant.'"

"But that's what they are."

"Sir," the servant said, giving a look that clearly conveyed, I am this close to starting a union.

"Fine. DEAREST PEA... PEOPLE OF DERMATITIS."

"Demattess, sir."

"SORRY, DEMATTESS. I am your new King of the Dark Lands. Your previous king was overthrown by yours truly. Frankly, it's wild you guys haven't overthrown him yourselves. That castle he lived in was kinda easy to infiltrate. I'm no architect, but that place had zero sky defenses. And the big glass roof—I'm guessing he was doing astrological dark magic, right? Anyway, you need not worry about my leadership. My Shades are here to help you. They will not use magic to heal, because I know it's not a great idea to have the reanimated deal with the sick. We have Clerics coming for the more seriously ill and wounded. They may look scary as hell—I may look scary with the horns and black robes and overall haunted look—but I am going to invest in the small villages. When you thrive, your kingdom thrives. Honestly, that previous asshole really should have put more into social services."

Cadmus took a sip "I can taste a hint of it could use a little more citric acid for more of a bite of ginger sugar but honestly as is it's perfect." He said adding the vodka after tasting the soda. Cadmus could hear Al in the back of his head going. "Always taste something before making additions." Which he quickly drowned out with the now alcoholic drink. "So how did you spend your birthday?"

"Hm. I'll think of that for the next batch. Maybe a bit of sugarcane to soak in it or garnish if we want to be really fancy."

Benni sits up a bit more, tucking their feline legs under them while their bit of a tail tucks around them. They give a bit of a one shouldered shrug.

"Not much. I mean. Went out for dinner with Gavin and Leo the night of. Tried out that new place that just opened in the Silver District. Had a good vibe but the place was pretty crowded. But that's what happens when you go opening night. Really appreciated the spa day after though." It wasn't that Benni hadn't enjoyed the festivities, it was just they were always touchy around their birthday.

"There is always new places in the Silver district, Too many of which I like but disappear before I can return to them, I need to figure out a way to avoid buying them up so I dont end up like a particular Fashion Mogul we know." He took another sip of the drink. "I think the only wise choice was buying up Uncle Jeffy's buffet." He said simply although to the trained eye, It did seem like Cadmus was avoiding talking about something by being almost too chill.

"Ohh homemade? Do you have extra?"

passimtemere

"Why of course." The Monroe family of kids didn't really do store-bought where it could be avoided. Benni pulls some surrounding shadow and light to make a quick glass, knowing full well that Cadmus could use some more of his mature magic to make it more substantial. Sure, they could have just gotten up and gotten an actual cup, but they were feeling lazy and enjoying the fading light of the sunset.

"Experimented with adding some apple cider vinegar in there. What you think?"

"Pppfff. Good one Cadmus." They snort. "Almost made me snort blackberry soda out my nose though."

Alphonse has a knack for dodging things.

"Like parental responsibilities."

#cadmus dolore #Alphonse Monroe

" Kill your parents."

"I already killed one of them, took his power and grew horns for the act, Of course at the time he was trying to possess me and as far as parents go even with all my trauma, Stan and Al...they did okay better than some others. Have you ever considered killing your parents? How did that work out for you Mister?"

"Oh, well, let me just drop everything I'm doing here at home and enter a hellscape with angry, flesh-rending dogs just to prove how manly I am," he said, lighting a cigarette. "And don’t call him my sire. If he finds out you called him that, he'll be more insufferable than usual." He yawned, causing his image to fade slightly. "Right, so you're a workaholic like he is? Is that what you two do? Trade barbs while forging weapons and tools? Let me guess—it goes something like this." He straightened up, looking disgruntled. "You are small and weak and smell of flowers." Turning on his heel, he adopted the signature pose of Alphonse and smiled blithely. "Thank you, I do smell of flowers. I'm glad you noticed, over the stench of your attitude." He waved his hand vaguely "Biting retort, clever quip, Flirtatious remark..ect...ect.."

Kha'xanzyr growls. It's a brief, but accurate, account of their meetings yes. With his tail, he ever so casually intrudes upon the apparition. The tufted limb swipes through the image as if it's not there. Kha'xanzyr's disappointment is palpable and clearly visible.

" There is no 'you two'." He snarls. " Your father is as a bothersome fly."

" And you are proving to be much the same."

"Sure, here's a revised version for clarity and flow:

"Oh, Boo! I thought you'd be my new uncle." He rolled his eyes. "Cute tail, by the way. I can see why Dad would be interested in it. And your teeth—be careful flashing those at him. He might just faint." He chuckled. "Just kidding, of course. Al isn’t the type to pursue unless he's being pursued himself. So, why is he interested in you? What do you lack that he wants to provide? Bye~."

The image faded, leaving the forge empty once again.
