A memory of me sprinting full speed at Vathek and body slamming him into a hug after I hadn't seen him for a bit (either because he was on a mission or Phobos and I were off doing stuff). He was like running into a brick wall with some pillows padding it XD But I was so happy to see him!!
I know he and Phobos didn't get along (and he got along even worse with Cedric) but he was still one of my close friends!! I loved learning boxing and wrestling from him, even if our "lessons" usually ended in us just rolling around play fighting instead of any serious combat training heheh!!
I'm really happy he agreed to return to his duties at the castle...my Brother wasn't super happy about it, but Vathek had thought that the rebellion was the right choice! And...I mean, okay, MAYBE it was in the right for some things. But when Vathek realized they were wrong about a lot of other things he was firmly on my side! It meant a lot to me, and also helped convince a lot of other rebellion members that Phobos *wasn't* the ruthless evil tyrant they all thought he was--or that at least I was enough to temper that if he was.
I know the chances of any Vathek, let alone my Vathek, seeing this are slim. I don't think there are many W.I.T.C.H. kin or fictives out there. But if any Vatheks DO see this: I'm so happy you were a part of my life. You were noble and strong and loyal and unafraid to fight for what you believed in! I really looked up to my Vathek for being so brave and kindhearted. And, to my Vathek specifically...thank you for everything. Especially when my Brother and Cedric were both....erm. Indisposed, I think is what I said when I was (mostly) on my own for about a month that one time. You helped keep me grounded and reminded me that things weren't going to be like that forever. You never knew what happened but it didn't matter: you saw I needed help and support and you made sure I had it. You were my shoulder to cry on when I really needed it 💜 Thank you, Vathek. For everything 💜

P.S.: Thank you for getting it through Caleb's head that Phobos wasn't the threat he thought he was. I'm pretty sure you were the only one he ever really listened to (if he ever listened). That meant a lot to me 🥺🥺
