Princess Aria3/7/2025, 6:52:13 AM

Aria enters the royal dining areas. Tapestries cover the walls, lit by candles. Servants scurried around, moving out of her way in respect. Aria spots her three siblings, Marianne, Emma and {{user}}. Long, eerie shadows engulfed the table they sat at. Just the three of them, alone. Aria sighs inwardly, such an obvious example of their isolation. Indeed, despite being royalty, their duties left them little time to pursue friendships and relationships, so they relied on each other for company. Not that Aria minded of course, she loved them both dearly. Aria approaches the table, sitting besides {{user}} and opposite Marianne and Emma. She glances out the corner of her eyes. {{User}} was already on the wine, and Marianne was deep in reading a document. Emma was eagerly downing her food. She decides to speak up.

"Good morning brother, sisters." She giggled, trying to hide the blush forming on her face when she realized her lateness.

Princess Aria3/7/2025, 6:54:38 AM

"Good morning Ian," Aria greets him with a warm smile. "I trust your training is going well?" She asks, trying to make conversation as she takes in his appearance. He seemed more tired than usual, but then again, he was always training. It's what he did to keep his mind off their parents and the weight of expectations they had for him and their other siblings. Aria reaches out, giving her brother a reassuring pat on the shoulder.

"We should take some time to relax together soon," she says with a small laugh.

Ian3/7/2025, 6:55:10 AM

Princess Aria3/7/2025, 6:55:10 AM

Aria chuckles softly at his reply, shaking her head fondly. "I know things are tough with them... but we deserve some time for ourselves too," she says gently, giving him another reassuring pat on the shoulder this time. Her blue eyes meet his, full of concern and understanding. "We'll figure something out, Ian. We always do." She takes a sip of her wine before adding, "Besides, it's not like we can keep running away forever."

Princess Aria3/7/2025, 6:55:56 AM

Aria's heart skipped a beat as their parents entered the room and everyone knelt before their father. This was a daily ritual they all had to perform, and she knew her brother Ian especially disliked it. As their mother spoke, reminding him of his duties, Aria couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness for him. His life was so full of obligations and expectations that he barely had time for himself.

Ian3/7/2025, 6:56:49 AM

Princess Aria3/7/2025, 6:56:49 AM

Aria's eyes widen in shock as she watches her brother lash out at their parents. She had never seen him so angry before, and it was clear that he could no longer contain his frustration. The look on his face was one of pure defiance and determination. As their mother falls to the ground, Aria's heart races with fear for what will happen next. Her brother has always been strong and capable, but even she knows that there are limits to how much he can take.

Princess Aria3/7/2025, 7:05:15 AM

Aria's mouth hangs agape as she watches her brother lash out at their parents. She has never seen him so angry, so desperate for freedom. Her heart races with fear and uncertainty as he turns to leave but is stopped by their father. In a blur of motion, he injects Ian with a sedative before it can take effect, hoping to subdue him and return him to his senses.

Princess Aria3/7/2025, 7:05:23 AM

Aria gapes in horror as her brother is brought down by the sedative. She watches helplessly as he struggles against the drug's effects, his face contorted with rage and desperation. The air grows thick with tension; she can feel it pressing down upon her like a physical weight. This moment has changed everything, and there is no going back now. Her heart aches for Ian, knowing that he will be punished harshly for his outburst.

Aria's eyes widen in horror as she watches her brother leap off the cliff and fall into the icy waters below. Her heart feels like it's been ripped out of her chest; this can't be happening! She wants to scream, to run after him, but she knows that would only make things worse. Instead, she remains frozen in place, helpless and filled with anguish as the sounds of Ian's splashes fade away into the distance.

Princess Aria3/7/2025, 7:07:12 AM

Aria's voice quivers with fear and anger as she speaks to their father. "What have you done? You forced him to this point! If you had been more understanding, if you hadn't expected so much from us..." Tears stream down her face, mixing with the blood that trickles from her nose where she bit herself in shock. She can barely contain her anguish and rage at their parents for what they have done to her beloved brother.

Princess Aria3/7/2025, 7:08:22 AM

Aria clenches her fists as she hears the news about Ian. The White Death... It's almost as if he has become some sort of legendary figure, feared by all who encounter him. Her heart aches for him, knowing that this new identity is not what he truly wants. She wonders how much longer they can keep up their charade, how much more distance they can put between themselves and the life they were born into. But as always, duty calls, and there is no escaping it.

Aria's heart stops as she sees her brother enter the room, disguised as the White Death. In his hands are a white hatchet and dagger, weapons he has come to be known for using with deadly precision. Her breath catches in her throat as he takes his place at the table beside her. His voice is colder than ice when he speaks, barely recognizable as Ian's.

"Father," he says, nodding in their father's direction. "I have come to discuss terms of our agreement."

Ian3/7/2025, 7:10:23 AM

Princess Aria3/7/2025, 7:10:23 AM

Aria's heart pounds in her chest as she watches her brother confront their father. The White Death is every bit as terrifying and unyielding as the legends say he is, and it sickens her to see him like this. She wants nothing more than to reach out and pull him back from the edge, but she knows that would only make things worse. Instead, she remains silent, eyes wide with fear and uncertainty.

"Ian," their father finally manages to choke out, his voice trembling with fear. "

Aria's eyes widen as she watches her brother and father exchange tense glances. The air is thick with hostility, and she can feel the weight of their words pressing down upon her like a physical force. She wants to say something, anything, but no words come out. All she can do is sit there helplessly as events unfold around her.

"I will not be controlled anymore," Ian hisses through clenched teeth. "You have pushed me too far." He pauses for a moment, then adds quietly, "

Aria's heart skips a beat as her brother vanishes in a flurry of white shadows. She feels the air grow cold around them, and dread coils tightly in her stomach. Her hands ball into fists as she stares at the spot where Ian was just sitting. This can't be happening... not again.

"What have you done?" their father manages to whisper, his voice barely audible over the thunder of Aria's racing heart. She doesn't know what to say;

Aria holds her breath as she spots Ian on the mountain, now a distant figure cloaked in white. The sight both breaks her heart and fills her with hope - hope that her brother is still alive, still fighting for freedom. Tears stream down her face as she realizes just how deep this divide has become between them all.

Aria's eyes lock on the distant figure as it vanishes into the blizzard. Tears stream down her face, mixing with the frost that coats the castle walls. She takes a shaky breath, feeling the weight of their father's gaze upon her. He knows what she is thinking; he can see the defiance and determination in her eyes. But there is nothing she can do to help Ian now. All she can do is wait and hope that somehow, they will find a way back to each other.

Aria's hands clench into fists as she listens to her siblings discuss their plans. The mention of the white hawk sends a shiver down her spine; it means that Ian is watching them. She struggles to keep her expression neutral, but fear and anger simmer beneath the surface. How could they move against him like this? He's their brother, their friend...

She clears her throat, finally finding the courage to speak up. "Ian may be doing things we don't agree with,"

Princess Aria3/7/2025, 4:11:52 PM

"But he's still our brother." Her voice breaks, and she takes a shaky breath to steady it. "We have to find some way to bring him back... to help him understand that there is another path." She meets her siblings' eyes, pleading with them to see reason. "Can't we at least try?"

Ian's siblings exchange glances before Emma speaks up. "Aria is right. We can't just ignore what he's done or how he feels. He needs us." She takes a deep breath, trying to steady her own emotions. "We should send someone... to try and talk with him, see if there's any way we can help."

The others nod in agreement, though the tension in the air remains thick as ever.

Aria's heart pounds as she approaches the table where Ian sits, surrounded by an aura of intimidation. The patrons of the tavern part like a sea around him, their whispers echoing in the sudden silence. She swallows hard, steeling herself to face him, her sisters close behind in support. "Ian," she says softly, "we need to talk."

Aria takes a deep breath before speaking. "We understand that you're angry and hurt, but we can't let things go on like this." She gestures to their surroundings, indicating the distance between them all. "We need to find a way back to each other... to be a family again." Her voice cracks with emotion, betraying her fear that they might have already lost him for good.

Ian's expression softens slightly at the mention of family, but his gaze remains guarded. "You don't understand,"

Princess Aria3/8/2025, 7:49:53 PM

Aria shakes her head, refusing to back down. "No, I think I do understand," she says firmly. "You're tired of carrying everyone's expectations, of feeling like you have no control over your own life. But running away doesn't solve anything." She takes a step closer to him, her voice lowering. "Please, Ian... come back with us. Let's find another way to deal with this together."

Her gaze flickers away briefly before returning to his face, hopeful that her message is getting through.

Aria's heart breaks at his confession, but she doesn't flinch. "I know that," she says softly. "And I know it wasn't easy for you. But there has to be another way." She squeezes his hand reassuringly. "Please, let us help you find it. We can make things better, together."

Her eyes search his face, hoping that somewhere in there she can see a glimmer of hope, or even just understanding. It's all they have left to cling to.

She holds on to him, not wanting to let go for fear that this moment might be fleeting. "We love you, Ian," she whispers into his ear, tears streaming down her face. "No matter what happens, we'll always be here for you."

Her words echo in the silence as they stand together, their siblings and the world around them fading away for a moment.

"Mother, Father," she begins, her voice unsteady with emotion, "we need to talk about this." Looking from one parent to the other, she tries to convey the gravity of the situation and the urgency with which they must address it.

The air feels heavy with tension as everyone holds their breath, waiting for someone to break the silence.

She looks to their mother, pleading silently for understanding or support.

Her breath comes in ragged gasps as she sees the bodies of their guards fall one by one beneath Ian's merciless onslaught. Tears stream down her face unchecked, and she doesn't know what to do or say that could possibly make things better.

"Ian," she whispers hoarsely, "please... stop this."

She takes a shaky breath, struggling to regain control over herself before turning to their parents. "We need to find him," she says firmly, her hands clenching into fists at her sides. "And we need to talk about what happened here."

Aria inhales sharply as she takes in the sight of her brother, Ian, perched atop a mountain like some sort of ominous figure. His clothing is impeccable yet subtly menacing, with hints of his assassin training still visible beneath the layers. Despite her relief at seeing him alive and well, there is an underlying tension in her gut. This is not the Ian she knows—he seems almost... different somehow.

She climbs up to join him, taking care not to appear too threatening or aggressive. "Ian,"

Aria's heart aches as she hears the resignation in Ian's voice. She knows that he's been through so much, and it breaks her heart to see him like this. But she refuses to give up on him, no matter how difficult things may seem. "There is always hope, Ian," she says firmly, her eyes never leaving his face. "And I will never stop fighting for you, no matter how hard things get." She takes a deep breath, trying to steady her emotions. "We can find another way, together. Please, just let me try." Her words hang in the air between them, heavy with the weight of their shared history and the unspoken bond that still exists between them.

Aria stands before her assembled army, her brow furrowed with determination. After all they had been through, losing both parents left her feeling alone, unprotected...and perhaps even vulnerable at times too--this was one battle where nothing else mattered aside from finding Ian and bringing him home safely again, consequences be damned.

She addresses the troops sternly "Listen up everyone! We are here today because we need to locate our missing sibling at once before he can cause further harm to himself or others!"

She knows that they must move carefully if they are to have any hope of retrieving her brother without further bloodshed. "All units," she orders, speaking in a tone that brooks no argument, "we advance on Krat. But we do it quietly, and we do not engage unless absolutely necessary."

Her gaze flickers over to her brother's people, their calm demeanors belying the tension beneath the surface. Despite everything that has happened, she can't help but feel a sense of kinship with them.

"Ian," she calls out softly, "please... listen to me." She takes a step forward, her hands held out in supplication. "We don't have to do this anymore. We can find another way."

"Very well then," she says curtly. "If that is your wish..." She trails off, letting the implication hang heavily in the air between them. Turning on her heel, Aria strides back towards the army, barking orders to the soldiers surrounding Ian. They continue their blockade of the rooftop, weapons trained on the hidden figure amidst the shadows.
