Re: What do dragons dream of? [Silus]

Regardless of all that had happened, it was here that Sean felt safe, for some reason he felt as if nothing could harm him here. Not even if the Lych and his army of whatever rose form the deepest pit of some hell dimension, Ouro would find a way to kick their collective asses all the way back there. Little Sean nuzzled his face against the ethereals leg, making a small pleased sound, which would be purring if he were cat but it was more like humming. He grumbled lightly when Ouro pulled him away from his snuggling, but still managed a toothy grin, one large gap appearing where the front teeth would be, adding to the little kid look even more.

It was then that he noticed Ouroboros reaction, one that stopped his own breathing for a moment, as he realized that he didn’t know about the whole age reversal thing. Silus was likely not going to be happy about the whole thing, since the kid kind of blamed himself for most of what happened wrong, like that time he caught the kitchen on fire trying to do a simple fireball spell. The black haired runt turned towards Silus before returning his attention to Ouroboros, feeling the hug wrap around him tight as he let out a happy kind of squeak, hugging Ouro in return.

”I shrunked-id.” He said simply with a goofy grin, head lolling to the side as Ouro pressed a kiss against his forehead and undid the hug. The kid clad in baggy hoodie, wrapped his arms around himself, and simply seemed to go about amusing himself as Ouroboros dealt with Silus. Seeing that one leg leech had attached itself to Ouro, Sean decided to mirror that and latched onto his free leg, thus the two began to at much like restraints within a way. ”I’m not gonna stay shrunk forever am I? I don’t wanna go through pooo-berty again.” He said with a slight lisp in his voice.

. "I---may be a diabetic now." Ouroboros said, drawing out the I for a second and ending it on a note of a soft chuckle. Sean and Silus were...exactly alike. Granted Silus was far more well spoken, but that was probably because Ouroboros had been bonding and teaching him since day one. Shael's laughter subsided and he lay there on the ground, calming down and looking on. Ouroboros lifted his one leg and made his way, literally picking up the little kids as he walked to the couch, sitting down on the leather couch, Silus giggling about hos Ouro just walked around with them on his feet.

"My my, my, I might need to take these boots back, They're the exact same style, but ones' Brown and ones' Black!" Ouroboros said, as he pulled each of the boys in one hand each and pulled them back up onto the couch, wrapping an arm around the each of them. Silus was eager to snuggle himself into his daddy, making Ouroboros smile...happy even. His son still needed him... that feeling was... more satisfying than one could ever know.

"You're enjoying this aren't you?" Ouroboros asked the boys. Shael laughed a little as he stood up and sat into one of the chairs, turning to face the couch. Sean said about puberty and Shael started laughing again. "It's like he's fucking five!" Shael laughed like a drunk man in a comedy club. The little clicking noises could be heard down the hallway, and soon a woman in a stunning dress and beautiful blonde hair. Xarlessa entered the room and saw the Sean and Silus sandwich, causing a smile to form of her cherry-red lipstick.

"Wow... I should have been worried all along. Turns out Ouroboros can have any eleven-year old he wants." She said teasing the Ethereal King. Ouroboros glared at her, with a slight smile, warning the woman. Simply because Ouroboros tolerated her didn't mean insulting him was permissible.

"So...I think this'll wear off. I don't think he'll gotta go through puberty." Silus said. Ouroboros chuckled. Silus knew what words to avoid at least.... sounds like Sean didn't. Ouroboros.

"Alright. Well, Silus...why don't you and Sean go do something while I start looking for a fix...or a cure for Acne." Ouroboros said with a grunt. He stood up and started for his newest "room" in the safehouse.

by **Arcana** January 25th 2014, 3:07 am

If Ouroboros were diabetic, it would have not surprised Sean within the least. From what he could tell he was sickeningly sweet, and that was fine. The short male pressed his cheek against the ethereals leg, rubbing it affectionately against it once again. It was just comfortable this feeling, even though his clothing was just too lose for him. Sean gasped lightly as Ouroboros picked up his leg and began to walk with them slowly as of they were boots, little human clinging to him much like a parasite, an adorable parasite. He even smirked and giggled as the joke was made, picked up and set beside him on the comfy couch. With that done, Sean pressed against Ouroboros, nuzzling him much like a cat within a way. ’Maybe I am.” he answered cutely, laying his head against the ethereal kings chest, a small tuft of black hair ruffling slightly as he did so.

What caught his attention and pulled him from the embrace was a familiar voice, one that made him cringe and lightly growl it would seem. The person that he knew as Shara walked into the room, silver pools narrowing into angry slits as he turned around, staring the woman down before grabbing onto Ouro as if claiming him a his own for a moment. Silus mentioned something about it wearing off and Sean grumbled lightly as he ehard that being said, hoping that was the case. He liked being older, and taller. Sadly he could not cuddle forever and that meant that Sean and Silus would have to go elsewhere, which would be fun within itself. ”Okay.” He sighed with a look of slight defeat, pressing upwards as he kissed Ouro on the cheek before jumping from the couch, and twirled to look at Silus.

”So, ya got like a park around here? I wanna go out, play in the dirt and stuffs.” He noted a small smile forming across his lips as he looked to Silus, wondering what his son would want to do.

by **Silus** January 25th 2014, 7:48 pm

"Okay daddy." Silus chirped as he nuzzled against Ouro before he detached himself. Sean hopped up and kissed Ouro on the cheek and it puzzled Silus slightly. Perhaps Sean didn't notice it...or perhaps he did. But Sean doing that changed Ouroboros slightly, almost as if his energy had taken a rather melancholic tone unto itself.

Ouroboros had already made his way and Sean twirled around and smiled at Silus. He apparently wanted to go to the park. Silus smiled, especially when he heard Sean say about playing in the dirt. Playing in the dirt was awesome! He was part of a "pack" of wolves, roughing and tumbling in the dirt was nothing foreign. Silus was actually receptive and loved this idea, since he was wearing old clothing and wouldn't mind getting in the shower later. Silus was always seen as the kid in the house that got away with showers every other day, and while it seemed gross to some... in truth he didn't DO anything to get dirty, so he was irritated at the wasting of the water. Then again, one of his best friends is a powerful Druid who helped raise him. subsequently... Silus was just a little bit of a tree hugger. "'Kay follow me!" Silus practically cheered as he walked off with Sean towards the park.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

"So... Sean's a kid." Shael said cautiously, sensing the emotional ethereal energy radiating from the ethereal king.

"Indeed, thank you for reiterating the obvious." Ouroboros snapped like a rabid dog, seething through his teeth as the gaps between his fingers were filled by his own locks which were black as sin. He drug the back of his hand across his mouth, drying the saliva from the edges that had been produced by the snap of frustration. He took his hands down from his hair and leaned back, head hitting the thick wall as he sighed. Keeping complete composure was proving difficult through this issue, and it was quite clear to Shael that his father was indeed struggling. The prodigal son made his way over to the loveseat where his father sat, and lowered himself down slowly and gently. With elbows posted upon his thighs, Shael kept bent over slightly as he looked to Ouroboros, whom let out a growling sigh as his features softened.

"Dad...are you alright?" Shael asked the Ethereal King as his closed eyes seemed to be up towards the heavens. Shael shifted slightly, and Ouroboros' ear nearly twitched.

"Do you have a way to fix Sean's predicament?" Ouroboros asked, bluntly not bothering to hide the passive irritation in his voice. The suave and sophisticated voice had met the irritated and spiteful monster.

"...No." Shael replied simply. Ouroboros had a slight smirk forming on the right side of his mouth.

"Is MY crown in our possession?" He asked, the irritance slightly elevated form the last question. Shael licked his lips and his eyes darted around on the ground. He was being reminded of the task before them, something he despised.... especially when he was not yielding results that Ouroboros desired.

"Not yet....We'll have it though." Shael replied, seeming it to be a promise. To this Ouroboros' eyebrows arched and the smirk returned, a long drawn out hhhmmm turning into chuckles, unhindered by the closes maw.

"Is my army ready to go to war with Michael?" He asked straight out of his laugh, a slight tone of amusement in his voice. Shael stopped breathing as his eyes turned away. He swallowed knowing exactly what situation he had been placed in. He had to answer Ouroboros and accept the punishment...or he would ignore his father...both of which had similar repercussions.

"...No Si-" Shael began, quickly shocked as two hands swiftly and skilfully grappled his broad shoulders and whipped him around as if he were a ragdoll, sending him into the wall and causing a crater behind it. (+4 Str to Ouro)

"THEN WHY ARE YOU ASKING ME IF I'M OKAY!?" The furious glowing emerald eyes settling into the faintly glowing brown. "I've lost my crown to what is virtually my most similar of kin, The very thing I love most in this world has once more fallen under Ailment whilest under my watch, and It seems as though I might as well reveal myself to Elena Marie with a fruit basket before I take the crown back myself!" He snapped.

"What are you saying?" Shael asked.
"WHAT I AM SAYING... is that Silus' little girlfriend could run this operation better than you!" Ouro hissed before letting Shael go, leaving his son stunned as he pulled at the collar of his shirt and tugged at his sleeves, playing with his hair for a moment as he stepped out of the room, pretending that life was at it's finest.... leaving Shael stunned in his wake.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Silus and Sean made it to the park while Ouro had his little "chat" with Shael. Kaisses had taken Silus, and Hocus had taken Sean on his back. Of course Sean took the faster of the two, and Silus ended up getting there second. Sean, Silus and the wolves could walk into the park, Silus walking net to Sean...seemingly nervous about how he was supposed to initiate conversation. After all, was he talking to his dad, a potential friend, was his mentality the same, was he a normal 11 year old? Silus cleared his throat. "So... whatcha wanna do?"

by **Arcana** January 25th 2014, 8:12 pm

If Sean had even the slightest of magical sense he would have felt it, even the faintest glimmer of it, but he was oblivious. The male was oblivious to anything happening within Ouroboros and the subtle change within his own energy, otherwise he would have not smiled as he did now. Silus seemed to enjoy his suggestion though, so he wasn’t doing everything wrong. The two would leave the safe house towards the nearest park, Sean taking a deep breath of the outside air as if he had not done so in many years. Hands dug deeply into his pockets, as Sean waltzed alongside Silus eyes darting about curiously, taking everything in with a certain childlike wonder. It seemed that even at this age he was till shortest among the family.

His son however found it proper that the wolves take them to the park, Sean set upon the back of the faster one, hands gripping tightly. Once the animal stopped its acceleration, Sean hopped off of it and landed with a small oomph on his feet, scratching the wolf behind the ears while he waited for Silus, who appeared shortly. So he had taken the faster wolf it seemed. ”Does this place have a swing set, I love those.” Sean said wistfully arms swinging back and forth like pendulums. ”Or maybe we can play hide and seek, or catch?” So many options were available for the little tyke a she seemed to pace for a moment, somewhat forgetting that Silus was even there or that he wanted to play in the dirt.

by **Silus** January 25th 2014, 9:29 pm

"Well yeah there's a swing, and we can do all of that stuff!" Silus said, suddenly feeling a rush of happiness as he saw his dad being as excited about it as he was. He trotted into the park, the wolves moving in a lax fashion and Sean at his side. Silus buried his hands in his hoodie pouch, and he yawned as he walked through the park, headed for the open space away from the trees. Silus positioned himself of the swing and sat there, seated comfortable enough for him to reflect on everything that had happened. He began to wonder why Ouroboros had been disheartened or mournful over the events. Silus assured him that the enchantment was going to wear off. Was his own assurances not enough? He began kicking and pumping his legs, moving slowly into large swings on the set. He loved the feeling of being so high up and then moving back.

      He noticed as he two wolves seemed to be relaxing. They had been very isolated since the events that lead up to the death of their beloved brother. He remembered bringing the puppy home... or where once was home... he brought Abra to Valhalla. The wolf immediately took to it, being part of a pack. The youngest of the three wolves, Abra was somehow the most reasonable of them all...especially Kaisses whom often times fit his paws through human's clothing and wore baseball caps sideways. Abra was certainly the most like Silus, more of a brother than a pet....a guy to hang with more than a guardian. When he died, Silus was mortified. For the first time ever...Silus WANTED to kill. HE calmed himself down, remembering how the wolves reacted to it ever so strangely.

    "I wanna fly" He said casually with a little laugh. This was rather pathetic...but this was one of the few times he'd ever been tot he park. He was counting on Sean to show him the ropes around the place.

by **Arcana** January 25th 2014, 9:58 pm

All it took was Silus saying that to cheer Sean right up, well more than he already was anyway. Both trotted through the park, exiting through the trees as Sean saw the swing set as soon as it could be visible, little kid running as fast as his legs could carry him to said swing set, and jumping onto one of them while Silus chose another one. Little wriggly fingers curled around the chains that held the swing and legs kicked back, and then forth. It had been a long time since he last could just relax and swing, swing without having to worry about any crazy magical things within his life. His head cocked to the side upon hearing Silus say something about flying, and his mind ran over something.

”I do too. Don’t got any wings though, would be cool though.” Sean noted stopping the kicking as his swing steadied, one hand running along his back as far as it could go. ”Oooo can you like give me wings? Big ones with feathers!” He seemed to have gone off on a slight tangent, catapulting himself off of the swing and landing on his knees, wincing lightly as he turned around to sit on his butt, looking to Silus.

by **Silus** January 25th 2014, 11:12 pm

.      Silus lunged himself off as well, landing right on his knee and then sitting next to Sean as well. He hummed and then placed a hand on his chin. The thought itself was interesting. Maybe with his Aether Augmentation he would be better suited to actually add on to his physiology. He would use his ability regarding to Death, however it was not something he was willing to risk. This young Sean would be a rather early interaction to his total jackass self as a Titan if he tried it. Silus snapped his fingers and giggled as he shifted form his butt to his knees again. He took in a deep breath.

     "Yeah, I think I can! Here, I want you to imagine he kind of wings you want. You are gonna feel warm and fuzzy but that's all normal. It's gonna feel like you got feather's tickling your shoulders so uhm...don't spazz." Silus warned him as best as he could. His eyes began to glow slightly as he placed a hand on Sean's chest and a bright white light spread around Sean, blanketing over him like a snow, or a celestial veil. The energy hummed at low vibrations before sinking into the skin, two white flames bursting through the shoudler blades, not breaking nor burning the skin. Soon Sean would have his own pair of wings. (Aether Augmentation +2 Flight via Wing physiology to Sean) Silus then empowered himself with nether, and his eyes hardened as silver orbs as his canines sharpened and black flames sprung from his back. Deep purple spined Dragon like wings radiating with the energy of death sprouted from his back. The webbing of the wings, the more towards the wing's base were a light golden yellow, then fading to pale green as it made it's smooth transitioning descent.

    Silus gave off a rather sly toothy smile as he breathed out a near invisible mist of dark ethereal, as if he were stepping out into the winter morning. A Silus looked about, silver eyes darting a bit as he hummed. (Death- +2 PP Flight Via wings) he snickered to himself seeing Sean's wings. His draconian nether wings spanned out, giving the four foot something human a near nine foot wingspan. He felt his energy radiating off him, but he kept it in check, not allowing the energy to reach Sean. "I like this look." He giggled as he looked about, sniffing the air a bit.

by **Arcana** January 25th 2014, 11:35 pm

”Mkay.” Sean said with a nod, a wide toothy smirk playing across his face as he waited for Silus to do whatever it was that he was doing. A hand was pressed against his chest, Sean letting the foreign energy run through him and do whatever it was that it would. There was to be a strange sensation washing over him and that would be just fine, not that Sean minded it too much. The white light would surround him much like snow, Sean feeling a floating sensation running through his body, one that was wondrous and flighty within its own way. Golden fire sprung from hiss shoulder, rising higher and higher as they took the form of wings it would seem, thin yet strong. Soon enough they formed, large white wings much like one would imagine on an angel, immaculate and beautiful.

Silver orbs glowed brightly as the aether ran its course through him, Sean taking a deep breath as he gave them an experimental flap. His cheeks even seemed alight with a certain innocence, Sean running fingers through the wings around seven feet in span that rose from his shoulders. Strands of light blonde could be seen within the dark hair that adorned his head, the little angel then turned his attention to Silus wings and let his mouth drop open wide in wonder. They were just so…cool! Even compared to his they seemed far better, draconic in design and something about them radiating an aloof darkness that was something he felt he would like, yet he was still pleased with his own wings.

”Woah, those are awesome!” Sean shouted excitedly as he leapt upwards and his wings pulled him higher, making the jump much higher than anticipated, though they served also as a parachute that let him float slowly down. Landing cleanly upon the ground, Sean looked to Silus with a rather sweet expression, perhaps made even sweeter by that certain angelic glow about him.

by **Silus** January 26th 2014, 1:17 am

Silus wings began to lap and slowly his knees left the ground, and slid up as his wings let him fly with little issue. He laughed and flashed a toothy grin as he began flying around, doing 720 spins and tumble-flips. He landed with a front flip and as his sneaker almost touched a blade of grass, he began floating above it. He then began to strafe off to the side, still looking at Sean as he strafed the entire circle around him, inspecting the wings to make sure he didn't deform Sean in any way. Beyond the obvious wing adding.

"Nice. Tag!" Silus said before closing in and tapping his dad, draconian wings flapping fiercely as he took off flying towards the trees. He took off over the wolves, up into the sky before heading towards the park pond. He dove down towards it and pulled up just quick enough, and if Sean closed in, he'd give a powerful thrust of wing and slash water up at the one closing in. He's playfully twist and give the forefinger-middle finger salute as he dove off. He came through the trees, zipping away as best as he could before stopping dead, nearly colliding. His heart froze and he stopped breathing.

Zell was here, and so was Naes? He smirked, the exposed Canine giving him a rather mischievous idea. He recalled Ouroboros and Zell both being heavy sleepers. Silus having to wake Zell and Xarlessa up was rather difficult. They slept like they had ben buried together or something. He flagged Sean down, putting his finger up to his lips as he rummaged through his hoodie pocket with the other hand. He giggled as he threw the one arm around Sean, keeping his wings tucked in as he pulled out a sharpie marker. Silus made sure to mask Sean's energy signature and make him as invisible to the senses as possible. (+2 Ability Sensory deception to Sean) Silus produced two sharpie markers and handed one to Sean and pointed to Naes, then uncapped his own Sharpie marker and pointed himself to Zell. Silus leaned in and Began to write a strange letters on Zell's forehead.

Zell suddenly shot his hand forward, snatching Silus' arm. Due to Silus' sensory deception, he would remain unseen by the Ethereal being as he saw Silus. He moved Naes' head ever so gently, making sure to assure the "unconscious" Naes that he'd be back in a second. Zell lowered Naes into the grass and strained to use his telepathic attributes to keep the blonde asleep. Zell immediately turned to Silus and glared at him, removing the sunglasses and pulling Silus far enough to the side to keep out of ear-shot.

"Silus, what are you doing?" Zell asked hushed but harsh.

"I think I know why he likes you..." Silus said as if things finally made sense. Zell scoffed and rolled his eyes as he folded his arms. Silus just giggled slightly as he began to saw back and forth in the air, like a little sprite.

"Oh shut up!" He said.

"Why can't you and dad just get along? I mean... why do you hate him?" Silus asked, simply thinking about it since Sean was there with him. It made him very curious. Was it normal for people to behave like this? He looked, perplexed.

"Silus... I can't hate him. I don't hate him. He didn't do anything wrong! But I have Xarlessa, and Ouro has Sean..." Zell said. Silus' eyebrows rose as he leaned off to the side slightly, looking to the blonde Sean.

"Xarlessa looks funny..." Silus said, obviously teasing Zell about his current predicament. Zell rolled his eyes. This kid was so much like him it wasn't even funny.

"Look, Silus. I love Sean alright? He...he gave me you, and Michael...but... I'm not getting into this." Zell snapped as he took Silus by the wrist and pulled him up a little. Silus gave his most pathetic look to Zell, and of course his heart just melted.

"So... if you and Ouro are the same...why don't you stay with him?' Silus asked, seemingly curious. Zell rolled his eyes, now was not the time for his discussion. He smiled as he placed a hand on Silus' cheek.

"You know the little voice in the back of your head that tells you "go for it"? Ouroboros was that voice.... I just listened to him for so long that I lost control. Look, Silus... No matter what you're always my son, and I'll always love you and Sean and all your siblings. But... I have to... live the life I was meant to live. I can't go on being what I don't want to be. You're a good kid Silus... and I hope when I'm gone, you'll all be able to have a life free of worry. But I'm not going to.... no- I can't. Even IF I wanted to...it could never happen. He'd kill me if he knew. Now... get yo dragon butt outta here before I call Ouro." Zell said, quickly and quietly making his rhetoric to Silus before sending him (and Sean subsequently) away.

"...He's confusing...isn't he?" Silus asked, a dumbfounded look on the little Ethereal's face with a line fang sticking out of his slightly agape mouth.

by **Arcana** January 26th 2014, 1:46 am

As soon as Silus took off, Sean gave a powerful flap of the wings that were clinging to his back, feeling the wonder of defying gravity wash over him. No longer was he tethered to the ground but he was soaring through the air much like a bird, his angelic wings seeming to support such a lofty venture. Wind whipped past his hair hair, black strand lightly flapping about as Sean accelerated through the air. If the game was tag, then he would be more than able to keep up with him. Well, that was saying if Silus were not too slow, yet he was already taking a huge lead, a blur ahead of him. As far as being aerodynamic, Sean was not very and Silus seemed to have known more about this than he did and that made things difficult. Trees blurred under them as they flew through the air.

Silus stopped, and Sean nearly lost control trying to do the same, turning to look at his son. Looking down, Sean seeing something rather interesting, which was his other half snuggling up with Zell Atterrius, and Hell spontaneously froze over. ”Ew.” Sean muttered as his white wings held him aloft, looking upon that rather disgusting scenario, though he had a feeling more had been done.”I thought he liked Xarlessa.” He wondered to himself, arms crossed as they descended upon the ground, one foot stepping upon the green colored ground, a mischievous grin forming upon Silus face. He did something to him and then handed the male what looked like a sharpie, and Sean already had an idea what he wanted him to do, and a similar mischievous grin formed upon his own lips.

While Silus did his prank to Zell, Sean would do his little joke but that only amounted to rather crude drawings of the male genital upon Naes face, one that he probably did not feel, as he seemed to only stir slightly. Zell snapping awake caught him offguard slightly, but then again the male did not notice him it would seem, yet he detected Silus and pulled him away. So Sean followed like the little snooper that he was. Silus was asking him about something, and from what Sean could tll he was involved, which made him want to learn more about what it was. Silus seemed to want to know why he and Zell could not get along, something about why he heated him. Not that Sean would blame him, with the whole trying to kill his girlfriend thing, and that time in Georgia. It was a fun time, well minus the whole being thrown in prison.

It went from there and a nifty little confession of love was made, or at least something along those lines, and with something else being said Silus would make his leave with Sean in tow. ”Really confusing. ” He said simply, before pausing. ”I’m hungry.” Sean grumbled running a hand over his stomach and looking to Silus with a slight frown.

by **Silus** January 26th 2014, 2:26 am

Random phalluses all over the blonde boy. Silus looked to Sean oddly. His face flushed with sheer embarrassment. This is exactly why he'd never let Helia or Lily stop by the house. They would have a playdate...with him and his penis-obsessed eleven-year old dad. That wouldn't make a good thing for them to go home and talk about their day at the dinner table. So what did you do with Silus today? Oh one of his two dads drew phalluses on sleeping dude's heads. That's a real prize of a friend right there. Silus ended up understanding very little, but none the less understanding some of the situation Zell was in.

"Yupper Zupper." Silus said as he shrugged and flew off. Zell was left but nothing with a bit of an anger seething from him. He growled as he lay back on the grass, Naes not too far away, but not immediately touching. There was a great breeze flowing through as he sighed. He slowly began to loath himself more and more as time began to pass. Existence... how could he really miss this?

"SO hungry huh?" Silus asked. He wasn't sure exactly his dad liked to eat. They didn't exactly have family dinners too frequently, especially since there was no reason for them to take place. Silus pondered for a second, about certain restaurants and places he liked to eat at, or places he assumed his father would like to eat at. He instantly was satisfied with the concept of eating, but he wasn't exactly sure where he felt like eating from. Looks like Sean would have a decision to make yet again. The unoriginal Ethereal smirked as he took tot he air, while simply floating there, waiting to be joined by his patriarchal party member. "Well uhm. What do you like to eat? There's tons of places to eat around here, literally. I mean you just gotta say what you like and I can promise you they'll have it." Silus assured his dad, hoping that his fathr already had something delicious in mind.

by **Arcana** January 26th 2014, 2:46 am

”Food would be great.” Sean said with a smirk, Silus taking off into the air flioating only a few inches above it while Sean did the same hovering stance as well. What did he like to eat? Sean did like pizza, and burgers, even a little Italian but what he was hungry for? That was the question that was soaring through Sean’s mind at the moment, finger running along his chin as he thought of this carefully, yet nothing came to mind. ”Ooo I wanna burger, know any good places round here?” He asked whimsically circling his son, wings flapping ever so lightly as he did, a smirk paying across his face and the missing teeth prominent.

by **Silus** January 26th 2014, 1:33 pm

. Burgers was brought up and Silus smiled. He remembered actually having his first one when he met Lily...or was that another time? He shook his head, hair flopping around as he smiled and straightened himself out. He didn't know too many burger places, but the one he did know was pretty great. It was a little ma and pa shop, and things were always pretty good when you ordered them from this joint. Silus nodded to Sean and motioned for him to follow as he shot up into the air at a decent speed. He began flying towards the city, leaving the park behind and the strange Ethereals behind as well. Silus mazed through the city carefully, certain that Sean would not attract anyone's attention. He sipped himself down and in a back alleyway. during his descent, his wings curled over him, as if enveloping his body, but before he touched the ground black flames diminished the wings and they faded away, and Silus landed on the grounds as if he had jut been on some form of invisible escalator.

"Well, here we are." Silus said as Sean made himself closer. White Aether energy drained form Sean and seemed to flow back into Silus, his pale face gaining a little more color and his sharp canine seeming to recede back into his mouth. The chipper young male did a double take to Sean before humming, as if something were out od place. Silus reached into his pocket and felt his own loose money running about, which assured him that he was perfectly okay feeding both himself and his father. Unless his eleven-year old father ate like he drinks when he grows up. If that's the case, Silus was going to need a co-sign on a loan. "SO uh...a burger, anything in particular? Cheese, mayo, ketchup, relish, onion tomato or their Pizza burger, or.... you know what, here's a menu. You can read." Silus said that last part, almost as if he felt bad about reciting a good portion of the condiments and such. "...right?" He asked, searching for reassurance that the eleven year old was capable of fundamental reading.

Silus took to his own menu, and he looked it over quickly. Pizza burger, tangler burger, western burger, jalapeño cheese filled pretzel bun burger, Westerner's burger, Cajun burger, and finally there was a two pound burger, the one that Silus almost wet himself seeing for the first time. The two pound burger came as any other burger, except two pounds large. It was called "The Sasquatch" Something about it intimidated Silus, probably because the burger looked like it was able to actually eat him instead of the other way around. The small male shifted slightly and watched as a waitress brought out the large burger to a table of four. He wasn't sure, but when he laid eyes upon it, he could have sworn the very nether in his titan blood whispered... heart attack with the eerie echoing fade away in those horror movies. he returnedto the menue and saw the mushroom burger, the Hispanic burger, the pasta burger and finally he saw the sea-food burger. Sius hesitated as he sat on one of the balcony tables. A waitress who knew Silus walked over with a smile.

"Here with the dog's again, or your friends?" She asked kindly. The tall blonde woman flashed a brilliant white smile that made Silus hide behind his menu a little bit, nervous. He looked over to Sean. What was he supposed to do, introduce this as his dad? No. He was weird enough without having a parent his age.

"This is my cuz! He's in town for the week and we're just runnin around." Silus said, trying to sound like normal person, for the most part succeeding. The waitress smiled.

"Well it's nice to meet you "cuz" I'm Ashley, and if you're ready I can take your order." She said to the little Sean with a smile and a pen in her hand.

Sean had hoped Silus knew where a nice burger joint was, and part of him believed that Silus would come through with an awesome place. White wings flapped as he followed after Silus higher into the air, that free feeling never truly fading away as the sleeves of his baggy hoodie began to whip about, pulling itself from agaisn this thin arms and then slapping against them. If he could have his way, Sean would be able to fly like this forever, but that was not likely to happen, as nothing lasted forever. Gravity would have tis way or his wondrous wings of light would be taken, much like many things. His age, as well as his own power, nothing remained forever. It was this thought that seemed to cripple the joy as Sean dipped within his flight before managing to reclaim some altitutde, something else strayed across his mind.

Could Ouro truly love him as he was? The child frowned as his mind thought over this, considering so many thigns until it began to hurt and Sean just gave up on that. Soon enough they landed with a dank looking back alley and Sean felt it, the aether leaving his body as it returned to Silus. The smile of wonder fading away into a small smirk, that light within his eyes dimming like an amber doused with water and small blonde coloration within his hair seeming to disappear. He didn’t try to seem too disappointed, considering that it was an inevitable thing, however that did not go well. Still, he managed to keep somewhat of a smile on his face and that was more than enough. They were at the food place though and that was when Sean found his expression perking up.

”Ooo this place looks nice.” Sean said with fascination, hands digging into his hoodies pockets, a certain wonder falling into dull grey silver eyes. It was a little Ma and Pa’s place, one that reminded him of somewhere that his mom took him once. There was some pretty good burgers, but like New York that place was destroyed and he would never be able to return there again. The people that would smile at him were probably dead, and his life was long since dead. His mind wasn’t even on Silus as he seemed to list off whatever one could have on their burger, Sean sitting down at a place and resting upon his elbows. ’Nope totally can’t read?” Sean stated picking up a menu and reading it upside down as if serious, before turning it right side up and smirking widely.

’Well duuuuuuh I can read. You must think I’m some kind of mooooron or something.” He grumbled with his voice taking on a rather strange accent, Brooklyn almost within its sound. If one thing was a constant it was that he could never truly expunge that aspect of himself, more so when he was younger. If Elena didn’t have her way, he would have had a much thicker one. ” Ooo this Sasquatch thingie looks delish. So gonna have that one.” Sean said with a certain positivity permeating within his voice, placing down the menu and looking to Silus, though a young woman soon enough caught their attention and Silus reaction to her his as well. That shy way that he acted told him one thing, that…he liked her? The little Sean could not help but laugh, giggling childishly into his sleeves for a moment before regaining composure.

Silus referred to him as a cousin and that was a rather amusing prospect, but understandable. He was an eleven year old and no one would believe that he was in fact Silus dad. ’nice to meet you Ashley. Yeah, I’ll take that uuuuum….Sasquatch thingie and a sprite.” he said with a wide smile, revealing the missing teeth and then Silus would say what he wanted, so she would leave them alone for a moment. So that was when Sean could viciously tease Silus, or maybe just lightly tease him. ”Awwww how cute, Silus has a crush.” He said with that voice, impish smile obvious on his lips.

. "Oh...oh dear. Are you going to be able to eat it all? Okay nmot the Sasquatch is just a size...so what kind of burger do you want, and do you want it rare, medium-rare, medium medium-well or well done?" She asked as she jotted it down on the notepad. Sean would need to answer first before Silus made his own order. Silus chuckled sheepishly as her blue eyes fell on him next. His dad probably had no idea how big a two pound hamburger was. Ashley had looked to Silus with a smile. Probably waiting on him to just speak up. "And what about you little guy?" She asked with a rather nice smile. Silus let out a small exhale.

"I'm just gonan eat some of his." Silus said. There was no way possible the child could eat a two-pound hamburger. Ouroboros couldn't do it as an Ethereal. No way a squishy human would be able to eat all of that. If Sean could eat it he had like...matter-ingestion as a hidden super-power or something. The waitress laughed a little as she made a stray marking on the pad.

"You two share favorites a lot, or is the Sprite a coincidence?" She asked Silus with a raised brow. She took the menu's away with a chipper smile. Silus knew Ashley pretty well by now, and he had been to this place multiple times with Jordan. Ashley knew Silus by association and after a while she caught on to the fact he always asked for sprite. With all of that out of the way, Silus looked to Sean.

”Awwww how cute, Silus has a crush.” Sean said. Silus narrowed his eyes as his cheeks burned a bright red.

"S-shut up. That's Jordans' girlfriend!" Silus rushed in a hushed voice as he started to hide his face a little. This was more embarrassing than the time he had a crush on Saileyra. He shook his head slightly and looked out over the park, waving slightly as he noticed his wolves keeping their distance. It was harder for them to hide these days. Not having a light bending wolf to bend around them was something they weren't used to. They didn't even try to hide anymore, they just kept distant and laid about form the bushes.

"But she is cute." he muttered as he buried his face into his arms as they lay upon each other on the outdoor table.
