Aleksander was already awake when his sister knocked on his door. A blue messenger バタフライ, 蝶 had flown through the cracked window half an 時 前 with an urgent message from the Red Army: the White Army’s leader, Wilhelm Magnus, was expected to attend the neutral Circle’s spring solstice celebration. Aleksander had already received the same news from Magnus’ own daughter and was attempting to explain to the Reds that he had the situation under control--without revealing his communications with the other side.
Even if he had been raised a strategist, playing both sides when he only wanted to watch those sides tear one another apart was headache inducing. A 秒 glass of ウォッカ had eased the migraine, but not his nerves. Nor had the fifth または sixth. The time would come for the armies left over from the Russian revolution to decimate each other, but Aleksander had to insure neither he nor his daughter nor his fiancée nor his sister nor his sister’s boyfriend were caught up in the mess.
He had just crumbled his third draft of the letter to the Reds when he opened the bedroom door to find アナスタシア standing there in a furred caribou coat. The young woman had quickly become comfortable in the 城 in the last week. It had been Alek’s idea to fall back to their family’s secret retreat after his sister had returned from Berlin and reported being attacked によって the undead raptor--another enemy in the every growing complexity of these war games. The two had barely spoken since arriving.
“What is it?”
“Can I come in?”
“No, Tara’s sleeping.”
“But you’re awake?”
Rather than answer, Alek stepped out into the cool hallway, tying the ベルト of his robe. Down the hall and up the winding stone stairs of the castle’s shortest tower was a 机, デスク among walls of maps, shelves of novels, and cases of family heirlooms. Perhaps the young man should have been 書く his letters here in his grandfather's office, yet he found it difficult to spend so much time away from his fiancée while she slept. Even if she had no idea of his strategies and alliances, a prevalent enemy threatening her life made him reluctant to leave her alone for long hours. It also made him feel less like he was alone in his planning.
Now the 22-year old leaned back against the 机, デスク and regarded the younger silently. Ana squared her shoulders under his stare, meeting his pale-blue eyes with her エメラルド irises. Her wild curls tamed into Dutch braids gave her a もっと見る confident, mature appearance. "What are we going to do about Magnus?"
"You know I'm working on it, Annie," Alek responded automatically, によって now accustomed to her abrupt demands.
"Yeah, I know, your planning and planning and planning..." she muttered, her homeland’s upper class accent, something akin to British, slipping out in her agitation.
"What did あなた expect? He's a 500 年 old warlock with an arsenal of magic and resources, not to mention the entire White Army behind him."
“You 発言しました あなた were almost ready to 移動する foward!” she argued.
“That was two weeks ago, BEFORE あなた went to fucking Berlin and revealed yourself and your strength to Magnus-“
“Are あなた drunk?” she asked, taken aback as his calm demeanor caved. Alek continued フォワード, 前進, 楽しみにして as if she hadn’t spoken.
“You were meant to be our secret weapon against both the Reds and the Whites. An actual legitimate heir to call off this absurd struggle for power. Now I have to completely reassess our options, so if あなた could NOT do anything ludicrously reckless for the time being-“
“Or what? What happens if I’m too much of an inconvenience for you? Will あなた kill me too?”
“What are あなた going on about now?”
Alek took a step back as the teenager produced the file from her コート and tossed it to the floor. Pages sprayed across the floor and stained the stone with evidence. Palpable tension descended on the study.
“You told me Thomas killed himself.”
“Annie, I didn’t-“
“No!” she shouted. “No もっと見る of your lies! あなた act like you’re so much better than me, so much smarter, but you’re a murderer.”
“It was an accident.” His voice descended to a whisper with his shame.
“How do あなた accidentally デザイン an explosive, build it, and set it off remotely AFTER you’re out of range?” Ana growled, closing the distance between them. Alek drew himself up to his full height, but pressed back against the 机, デスク as the enraged woman stuck her face in his. “Seems もっと見る like a scheme a well-trained strategist would come up with if あなた ask me. Admit it: あなた killed Thomas so that あなた would be the last male heir to Russia’s throne.”
The man was silent as he turned his face away from hers.
“Admit it! Thomas’s death was not a suicide. Admit あなた killed my brother!” She raised her hands to shove him, but suddenly found herself on her knees, wheezing for breath, an arm bent painfully behind her. She felt the man’s weight leaning on her, keeping her from getting up. His warm breath smelled of alcohol as he leaned close to speak softly in her ear. “I need あなた to calm. Down. あなた obviously aren’t willing to consider my side of the story, but I did not want to harm Thomas. He was my brother too, in case あなた forgot.
“I know you’re angry, Annie, and frustrated, because so am I. But we can’t turn on each other right now. あなた can despise me, but abhor Magnus even more. Kill me if あなた like, but AFTER the Reds and Whites no longer want to use us in their games. No one knows あなた and I are working together, so we’ll still use the element of surprise to our advantage at the spring solstice as we’ve discuss, but we have to work TOGETHER for this to work. Understand? It’s Magnus who wants to hurt you, NOT me.”
The woman under him was silent a breath before muttering, “Let go of me.”
Alek released her arm and stumbled to his feet right before Ana sprung up, jabbed an elbow into his stomach, sent him back to his knees coughing. The young woman crossed her arms, standing over the kneeling drunk. “Fine, a truce. But only as long as Magnus lives. Then it’ll be just あなた and me.”
Aleksander remained on his knees as the teenager strode from the study. The thick oak door slammed behind her before he used the 机, デスク to pull himself to his feet. As soon as the floor steadied under his feet, he would make his back to the bedroom to get dressed. There was another plan, one to keep アナスタシア 安全, 安全です no matter what. And he would not fail her like had had failed their brother.
Even if he had been raised a strategist, playing both sides when he only wanted to watch those sides tear one another apart was headache inducing.

Selene-Human form
Hair:
Where i was originally born, i was royalty. Chosen immediately because my hair was white. In my tribe white hair was a rarity. And that child would become the クイーン または king at the earliest time possible. I became クイーン at the age of eight. I was wiser than i sounded. I was terrifying, yet generous. I helped and protected when ever necessary. But When my indecent occurred, and i was banished i left. And i was replaced によって a new queen. A seven 年 old girl with short white hair. At that time i had long white hair.
It was to grow out for however long i was ruling. Now i had to cut. It was custom. Now i cut and left my hair grow out at what ever pace i choose. But as i look at my hair and see it flow, the pain flows too. The past i had. I loved it so. But it was part of my cursed color of hair that i became who i am. but then without it now...who would i be? Would i be here? Would i have the フレンズ i do now?

Eyes:
My eyes are cast as a clear Silver. It helps pull the information from my target. And when my eyes glow, it only glows brighter, no need to change color. At one point my eye color showed dominance. Nothing got passed me. I saw it all.
But after i was over throw i was looked down upon. Like i was nothing. I felt hurt. Then my eyes glowed. Like a cursed child, my body levitated from the ground and i gained many gasps. And curses. I destroyed my tribe. The nation i once protected, now needed protection. And worse, from me.
I can never look into a mirror now, those eyes that pierce themselves into my soul. That make me feel my own inflicted pain. I cannot look into someones eyes and hear them say i am beautiful. Because i wont believe it.
