A Prince of Fire

@wouldbexking-blog

The world—no, the universe—is a deep, dark place. It’s hateful, full of fury and destruction and f i r e. That scares the shit out of the ex-prince, and he’s afraid that rebuilding a once beautiful and peaceful kingdom will twist him into something c o r r u p t e d. ((Indie fandomless OC roleplay.))

She looked over and smiled at the man. “I think everyone is a singer at heart.” She grinned. “Especially when they’re happy, everyone has a song in their heart.” She smiled as she walked. “Well you should know the city well, then. Since you are my tour guide.”

“Ah, perhaps . . . But you certainly won’t find me singing aloud, especially in public. I don’t exactly have the best of singing voices.” But he was a better dancer than Leo, at least. “Yes, I do. Like the back of my hand, as they say. It shouldn’t be far.”

“Your family too?”

Gek considering asking more, but then there was a chance Markus might return the favor.

“Well I guess I know what to look for when I’m there next. Though it wouldn’t do me any good, outside of the monetary value.”

And the coolness factor.

“I think my abilities must be genetic… Or if they are magic based, I don’t need anything to help power them. I can’t recall them ever tiring me out before.”

“Yes. On my father’s side.”

Markus shrugged simply, and chuckled at Gekuto’s statement.

“It is a fascinating stone, even to look at. Many without magic abilities wear it as jewelry.”

Not that he was one to wear it . . .

“Well, magic that comes from the soul is very powerful, you know. I know a friend in Veneficia--Leo knows her, too-- who has a better understanding of magic than I do. Perhaps you can ask her, to be certain?”

“Its perfect.” She sighed happily.

He chuckled. “You certainly do like fruit, yes?”

Semir seemed to remember that and pulled a charm out of her pocket. She ran it around the edges of the case. “There we go. If there were any guards on it, they’re gone now.” She moved to help him move the case.

“There we go,” Markus repeated, as though in agreement, as they lowered the case from the wall. He looked over it, examining the details, and asked, “Well, what do we do with it now?”

“Have you always had this power?”

“Ever since I was a child, yes.”

She looked at him surprise. “No, I haven’t heard of it. It sounds stunning.” She was slightly startled by the request. She couldn’t remember sitting down and watching a sunset in a long time. It was nice of him to lighten the mood however and she was glad to comply. “I’d be happy to walk with you.” She attempted a smile that didn’t come out half bad.

“Oh! Alright then.” He gave a soft grin, one that was warm and kind. He started down the path, making sure that Jezabel was right beside him. “It really is lovely. I only hope we can make it before sunset. Either way, it’s still an amazing view . . .” Markus continued to ramble to no one in particular, glancing down at his feet as they walked.

She gently took his arm and began to walk. “I’m here on business. I’m a singer and they contacted me and wanted me to come to this bar.” She said with a nod. “Are you native to Pyrouse?”

“That is lovely. I know a singer--well, he could be a singer. He just likes to sing for fun.” He chuckled to himself, nodding at her question. “Yes, I am. I live in just outside the city.”

“Thank you.”

She soon stepped back into the room, her fangs digging into a juicy apple.

He glanced up at her, smile still prominent, and he asked, “Is it good?”

Semir came in and looked up at the case. “Yep, that’d be them. Damn, when he said ornate, he wasn’t kidding.” In the case was a hammer and chisel covered in ornate symbols, including several pentagrams.

“Goodness, they look expensive,” he muttered, reaching up to pull the case off the wall. Was this how Leo felt when he stole things? He paused. “Is there a way to check if it’s guarded by magic, or something?”

“Me neither, outside my immediate family at least. I have so much human in me though, at this point, even if I found whatever race my abilities originated from, they probably wouldn’t recognize me…”

His gaze dropped, and he shrugged. It would be nice to find others like himself. But he didn’t see much hope in it happening.

“This nashanema seems pretty useful. Is it rare?”

And then, after a moment of thought:

“I wonder if my abilities count as magic…”

wouldbexking-blog

“Perhaps it is a genetic ability, like me. The fact that your family have similar abilities could prove that, you know. My family had fire abilities as well.”

This was one of the few topics the ex- prince could talk about without a twinge of pain; his inherited abilities, from his father’s side of the family.

“It is! It’s only found in Veneficia, and raw pieces are expensive.”

There was an echo of pain in his eyes. He looked vulnerable, almost as vulnerable as she had been when she revealed her scars. “It takes more than practice. It takes all you have.” She explained solemnly. She had ruined his attempt to be a little more lighthearted again. Damn, she was terrible at this. “It helps me focus on a task. It’s like this drive in me.” She paused, not sure how to really explain it.

The look he gave her--quick as it was, gone like a flash--was easy to read; he desperately wanted the subject to change, to talk about something else. Yes, Markus realized he could do so himself, but he wasn’t sure what else to talk about. A million possibilities on his tongue, and yet he couldn’t get himself to voice a single one. “Have you heard of the Karnidian Valley?” A good start. “It’s about ten minutes away from here--and there’s this lovely view, especially at sunset.”
