.blue is the same old misery

[Xaver]

Xaver made no reaction to her touch, his pulse a slow, and uneven beat beneath her fingers. His handsome face pressed into the floor, his long raven eyelashes pressed against his cheeks like the dark wings that were suddenly vanished upon his back, he could have been sleeping, if the oddly cool, dark blood pooling about his form wasn't a dead give-away.

"I don't think you understand, Miss."
Xaphan's tones were now an empowered, haughty low. A smirk, in sound.
"If he dies, his assassination will be complete, and the throne will be, hence, passed on.."
Xaphan grinned, and suddenly he, in synch with all of those behind him, drew weapon.
"Kylie, is dead. Xences, is not going to be eligible. I, am the only remaining heir."

He didn't know about Cody.

"My son made a foolish mistake, crossing me - and Xaver would have been very dead, if not for him.. So once again, I have to take things into my own hands... And finish things myself."
He nearly laughed.
"There will be, no healer."
The eyes of Xaver's uncle glowed an awful, penatrating sea-green, and he grinned.

((( i like it bump )))

[Ginny Weasly]

"So you killed your own son and planned on killing own own nephew? Reminds me of Hamlet. Kinda." Ginny smiled wryly, leaning down and kissinf the top of Xaver's head before she stood slowly.

"But you wouldn't know about that, you ignorant excuse for a man." She tilted her head to the side slightly, "There is a problem with your plan, you know."

[Xaver]

"I did not kill my son. He killed himself. Let it become. Like every other fool who admired.."
Xaphan glared at Ginny.
"Or loved, my nephew."

He blinked at her, when she mentioned this 'Hamlet', then his gaze hardened, the tip of his longsword touching the ground, though he held it still, with both hands.
"And what, may I ask, could this flaw be? Certainly not you."

"If not her than us!"
Laylenn stomped her foot when Xaphan rolled his eyes, and shook his head, and she ran to stand beside Turk, just behind Ginny.

"Wonderful. An outstanding force of a Human, and three.." he eyed Laylenn and Turk, "soon to be looking like humans, Fallen children."
Xaphan choked out a laugh.
Laylenn wrapped her wings tightly about herself, but set her face.

Todd, though, whom had remained almost mute, wrapped his arms tightly around Xaver - then when he withdrew, his chest, and arms, were smeared with dark blood, his cheeks stained with tears. He shook the fallen, literally and figuratively, king, looking between Ginny, his siblings, and Xaphan and his servants.
"Stop it!" he screamed. "Stop!.."

Xaphan shook his head, mockingly, and started foreword.

[Ginny Weasly]

"I'm not going to fight you guys." Ginny said, rather lightly. She smiled, a sweet uncaring smile and shook her head, "It wouldn't be much of a fight anyway."

"Todd, hush." She said, almost as she would to Cody.

When Xaphan started forward, she stopped smiling, but didn't frown. Instead, she looked curious.
"Anyway, the flaw is that you won't be the only heir to the throne."

[Xaver]

"Like you have the choice," he muttered nastily.
He stopped, though, paused, and tipped his head to the side.
Much like Xaver did, though Xaphan made the action look maniacal, where Xaver's gazes were perhaps just simply sharp.
Calculated.

But not manipulative.

"And how, could that be?"

[Ginny Weasly]

((Um, did Xaphan say that?))

Ginny smiled sarcasticly, "You mean to tell me you don't know how babies are born?"
Her eyes met his, but she didn't actually say it aloud. She didn't say Xaver had a child. She didn't say that Xaver's child was hers as well. But it was in her eyes as she looked at him.

"You sure you're related to Xaver? I doubt it...you seem kinda stupid."

[Xaver]

(yesyes... Sorry. I was distracted.)


Xaphan put one and one together, and his eyes narrowed.
"Oh, sure," he hissed. "But your precious Xaver has far worse qualities than maybe a little ignorance of a situation. Kept. So. Nicely. Hidden."
He smirked, through his permanant scowl.
"And little hindrances.. Can be taken care of."


It had taken a while, and an ample amount of his strength, but Todd had then, finally managed to roll Xaver onto his back.
Xaver didn't stirr, and there was no flicker of life beneath his shut eyelids in response - and at this, Todd whimpered. He pressed his cheek to Xaver's bare, blood-stained chest, as if listening - but then Turk pulled him away, restraining him, the two engaged in a heated battle, that was completely mental..

[Ginny Weasly]

"Such...um, 'hindrances' can prove to be more trouble then you'd like to bargin for." She told him, her voice low, "Especially when the hindrance is stronger by far then yourself."

Ginny glanced at the two boys, then at Xaver. Pain and sadness filled her eyes and she sighed, "I'm sorry, Xaphan, but I must attend to Xaver and these children."

[Xaver]

"That won't be happening."
Xaphan lifted his longsword once more, and the men behind him fanned out - though he blinked, when a silver goblet bounced over the tiles, and rolled to a stop at his feet.
Laylenn huffed out a scream, and tossed a plate after the goblet, watching as it flew, and shattered at Xaphan's feet.

"You can't get away with any of this!" she screamed. "Just wait 'till OTHERS figure out what's goin' on here! I'll scream! I'll bring them, running!"

"Little girl," Xaphan hissed, jutting his chin her way. "Don't tempt me, your life."

Laylenn screamed, as she was jerked up, and dangled by one wing at such an awkward angle, that something within her delicate, golden-feathered extremity snapped. Her screams broke into wails of pain, and she twitched, flailing, like a hung bird.
Turk released Todd, but Todd knocked his brother down, beating him easily to Laylenn - and through one furious glance at Xaphan, he gathered his will into a large, dark orb that suddenly appeared between his hands, and he swung around, and threw it. The orb, in all its strength, was strong enough, effective enough, to rip through both Xaphan, and the men behind him, like a bowling ball through pins. It knocked them all over. Laylenn dropped, when Xaphan's spell was broken, her wing already on the mend, but not nearly close to being fixed. She whimpered, holding her wing close, bawling into Turk's chest, when he reached her. Todd, however - dropped like dead weight, unconscious from the overuse of his powers.

There was no power more cunning, than misjudgement.

[KeKe p]

(( Realy good .))

[Ginny Weasly]

"Oh d**n..." Ginny said, quietly, shaking her head.
"Children are bothers sometimes..." She said, sounding very motherly. She didn't mean it angrily, just worridly. She went to Todd, picking him up easily, holding him close.

"Turk, Laylenn, come here, by Xaver." She told them, firmly, offering no room for srgument, "We're leaving."

[Xaver]

Turk wrapped his arms around Laylenn, and drug her over to where Xaver lay, despite the little girl's whimpers. He set her down, and she curled up at Ginny's knee, petting her wing. Turk pulled a face, but planted a hand upon Xaver's back, growing ghostly pale at the sight of all the blood.

"You.."
Belain hissed a curse at them, scooting himself up to his knees, then to his feet, starting toward them.

[Ginny Weasly]

Ginny frowned at him, clenching her fist, then pulling her arm up, facing her palm towards him. She used a trick someone she hated had taught her, and sent a blast of pure energy, hitting him in the chest and sending him backwards with the sheer power.

She reached down, planting one hand on Xaver, creating a string with all of them, then glanced at Belain and his father for a second before the five of them disappeared from the hall.

They reappeared in another hall, this one light, warm, colorful and for once, filled with people. Ginny let go of Xaver, and fell back onto her butt, still cradling Todd. Someone let out a scream as they appeared, but they were silenced within a moment.
"Ginny?" A males voice came through the crowd, pushing through the people as if they were nothing.

Ginny looked up, then looked at Turk and Laylenn, "Conan...I need help."

[Xaver]

Though they had been transported, and the use of magic about them was impossible to miss, Xaver made no movements, or reaction, to show that he had felt the currents, let alone noticed them. His thought pattern was usually very high, very strong - but when he had collapsed, it seemed the walls within him, had, as well. The shell of his mental barriers was unnaturally low. Just as nearly unreachable, but very low, his thoughts and mental patterns hidden beneath thick, inpenetrable shields.
Turk shivered away from the Fallen lord, staring at him, almost with fright now. Staring, his mouth agape, his head tilting to the side slightly, oblivious of the situation about him.

While Todd remained as still as Xaver, in Ginny's arms, Laylenn stood, cradling her very broken wing to her chest, sniffing through her tears. She blinked at Conan.

"W-...Where a-are we..?"
