Freyja will always be the greatest member of Phoenix Wing in my book! She was my first real family, and she taught me everything I know! She's cool, strong, fast, and super brave!!!
... when I lost her, I felt like I lost a piece of myself. And... I'm so happy to have her back... but I know she's hurting, and I just wish she'd talk to me.
Nerd... Dork nerd... nork..........
nah, I love him. He's a good kid, I feel like I'm always tripping over him, especially lately, but I love him. Don't make me get sappy.
My son is my pride and joy, and I endeavor to be everything a father should be that I never had. I will give him anything his heart desires, he need only say the word. I don't believe in the concept of "spoiling". We have an extremely close relationship that I am immensely proud of, we often bond over trivia!
It's come to my attention that my father struggles to relate to my sister and I on a personal level. A lot of times his interactions with me are limited to a strange pop quiz he'll intersperse throughout my day to test my knowledge... of course I am aware he means well. There is never a day that goes by where he fails to remind me... "Son, I'm proud of you."
...
and no matter how many times I hear it, it still brightens my mood. My father may not be a hero to many... but he's a hero to me.
My grandmother is my greatest inspiration. I can tell that in her youth, she must have been an incredibly talented wizard. She spotted the potential in me far before anyone else, I admire her keen eye and sensitivity. When all else is confusing, I trust my grandmother to guide me towards the light.
During the three years we spent together I learned countless things that I could never have found in any book. She is patient, but not smothering, precisely what I needed in a mentor. To this day, I feel more at home in her cottage then I do in the Serpent's Hand guildhouse.
My grandson... he is so bright. So talented and I am proud he has accepted my help. It's the first time in years that I feel like someone hears me and listens to all that I've learned. Helping Tobi with his magic gave me a new sense of purpose and hope that what I know could be helpful. He is sweet, a bit socially awkward but it never feels strange to me... though my goodness, sometimes my neck hurts when I have to speak up to him. I wish I had my magic just to fly up to his level.
Vesi is my BFFL!!!!! like, for life for life! Look, there's a lot of fake bitches out there in the world, but Vesi isn't one of them. She likes me, like, really likes me when most people are just mean!! We do all sorts of fun stuff together, rob banks, casinos, ice cream parlors, y'know wherever we feel like that day. I wonder if she wants to hang out today?!
Holly and I's friendship came from the strangest of places, but she gets me. She always seems to be able to make me laugh and always is up for fun adventures. She also has the best style in the guild -- but that's just me. I love getting into crazy shit with her and I'm glad she's still here!
My honest opinions or my manufactured feelings I project to avoid upsetting Vesilla?
She is weak. She was weak the day she bowed to the whims of her friends and voted to imprison me. She was weak the day that she allowed her daughter to be arrested without so much as a complaint. She was weak the day her guild crumbled around her and all she could do was cry for mercy. It is obvious to me that Vesilla is not her biological daughter.
That is................. complicated. He makes my daughter happy and loves her. It was very hard to adjust... but after I saw the lengths he would go through for her, I could do little other than be happy for them both. Still he... has a lot of problems. I've only seen growth though, so for that I am glad They found each other.
My nephew is one of the brightest minds of his generation, and I see a lot of myself in him. I've seen first hand that he has great potential, I only wish he would allow me to help him cultivate it. He wastes his time idling amongst the guild he inherited from his father with when he could ascend to true greatness if he would only follow my guidance.
My feelings concerning him are complicated. On one hand I do not know if I'll ever be able to forgive him for what he has done to Phoenix Wing. Yet everyone says we are alike, in fact many would say I'm more like him than my own father. Perhaps those many years ago, if he had truly taken me on as his pupil, instead of hiding behind his anger and hatred... maybe we could have accomplished something great. However, I will always oppose him should he dare to threaten Phoenix Wing and I will not lose. Mind your arrogance and your temper Uncle, they will be your undoing as they always have been.
The only thing I want from my brother is his complete unequivocal defeat. Such a foolish and selfish man has no business running a country, at this point I'm amazed the entirety of Drachmeer hasn't gone up in flames. I despise him with all of my being, and even to this day he vexes me with offers of supposed "diplomacy"? No. he merely aims to coerce my allies onto his side or lower my guard. Mark my words Almeric, whatever your plan is, I am prepared and I will have my vengeance.
...I just want a chance to be siblings again, you know? I think that deep down, beneath all the hatred, all the fights, that's all I've ever wanted. Despite everything he's done, he's still my little brother. For better or worse. But I'll say this, for somebody so smart... boy can he be dumb sometimes.
Oh no... Alli's gone and talked me up once more... I can assure you, she is the far more interesting member of our duo. She is responsible for all of our plans, and all of our power. So if I am neither the brains nor the brawn of our duo... that leaves me nothing more than her shadow? Don't misinterpret that comment as unrest, that is where I am most content. My sister is a prodigy, and she is deserving of all the praise she receives and more.
Tobi is my rock, I don't know where I'd be without him. I feel powerful and secure when he's around. He knows what's going on before I even have to say it. I love my little brother, no matter how tall he is.
My daughter is perfect in every conceivable way and I will not entertain opinions to the contrary. End of discussion.
I do wish she would spend more time at home however, and less pursuing dangerous missions... I always insisted she not become an active guild wizard until she was at least 30 but alas, her mother had other ideas.
Pft. My father is the definition of the word 'over protective.' He's got a lot of shit going on that I don't know about but he's been nothing but good to me and Tobi and mom. He helped me reign in my magic and raised me to be who I am today. I'll defend him to any asshole who tries to something wrong.
I thought Vesi would be the one fighting to destroy everything I held dear... and in the end, she's turned out to be my greatest ally. I, and likely the rest of the world, owe her our lives. Had she not discerned the truth behind our mothers' plans and sought me out we all might've perished.
Personally, she has a tendency to call me her rival. I can't say I've ever really sought out such a relationship, truly what is the point of so much volatile competitive energy? But it entertains her so I don't disagree. For me, Vesi is one of my dearest friends, and I wish nothing but the best for her. She is brave, and kind, and threw a lifeline to me when I had given her infinite reasons not to. She is always welcome in my home, it's miserably lonely most of the time anyway. Someday I hope to join her on the other side of the ocean, and we can live our lives together without quite so much melodrama.
Hooo boy... Lorian and I have a long history -- before we even knew it. I feel like he is the only person who truly understands the hell that we've been through, since no one else has been. We were destined to be in each others lives and... it's nice to know I'm not alone. Though he is a bit lax, at least he's strong. I thought I hated him, now he's one of my best friends. He's still an idiot though.
No comment... ᶠᵘᶜᵏᶦⁿᵍ ᵇᶦᵗᶜʰ
I used to look up to Freyja. She was my mentor, my role model... my hero.
Now? I'm just glad she's back.
I am convinced my mother does not know the definition of the word "restraint"... and if I must admit it... she can be a bit embarrassing at times. Though that tends to run in the family. As for the positive, she has always been immensely helpful with mastering my magic. I admire her for the power she wields... and yet she still won't answer my questions about the marks on her arms. I have a hypothesis that I could exceed her power if I were to undergo a similar procedure but- oh, what's that? I've gotten side tracked again? I love my mother, I don't believe there is anything more to say on that matter.
The surprise of my lifetime, probably literally. Had I known I was carrying twins I think the whole process would have made more sense? He's my miracle boy and I only want his happiness. It makes me tear up when I think about him taking after me and my mother... I'm so proud of him. Though if he could've just... slowed down a bit, that would have been nice.
Vesi has terrible taste in men and has never ever listened to my advice even once... despite that I still count her among one of my closest friends. Our friendship is simple, Vesi is fun to be around, even when she's kicking my ass. Though... lately she's been worrying me with the things that she's been saying... there are times when I don't recognize the girl I grew up with.
Galen? My best friend obviously. Galen was my first love, probably both platonically and romantically. We've grown apart since things got... complicated. I don't blame him but I do miss him. I hope to get him back into my life more permanently. He's what I can call my older brother so to speak. He taught me a lot in regards to slayer magic and the world in general. I just wish... it was as easy as it used to be.
My 'feelings' about the light of my life? as if I'm supposed to sum it up within the confines of a single speech bubble... I owe all that I have to Vesi, because of her, I have a guild that I can devote myself to, I have reclaimed my family that was nearly scattered to the wind, I have a purpose as protector for my guildmates who respect and admire me... and most importantly, I have the most perfect wife I could ever hope for to share it with. Uncertainty used to frighten me, but with Vesilla by my side, I eagerly await every new day we'll share together.
Otto is truly softer than anyone realizes. I love him and the family we've created. I feel lucky to have him in my life, even if we've had to struggle through some of it. Nothing can tear us apart and I swear he's my soulmate, if such a thing exists. We grew together and I am a better person because of him. Not to mention... he's ridiculously hot and such a nerd.
