Elemental kingdoms

"you cant' stop me, Not that you should, if you knew what i did, you'd be helping me" Devon shook his head.

"I know who you are, Prince of the Dark Kingdom. I know you are not to be trusted, and i know that i can stop you." Ciana said, glaring.

(Would his staff show him that there was a piece of a source on her?))

(yeah, what source would it be tho?)

"You know that? Do you know what we are raised to do? Why we are kept locked away all of our lifes" Devon glowered.

(Light source)

"No. But i do know that you have never once come to the annual meetings, where me keep peace, review treaties, and make sure everything is alright between the kingdoms. I know that, other than this, nobody has ever seen a dark kingdomer. and i know you are trying to steal bits of our sources. And i know that the sources must not be tampered with."

"I need the fire source so I can get the ice source, which I need to get the water source" Devon crossed his arms. "I can't tell you why, unless you join me. I'd ask for yours, but your source is not use to me yet."

"You don't get any of the sources. except, apparently, the electric source." She said, letting her illusion fall. "I have no idea why the crown price decided it was a good idea to give it to you" She snarled, "But I'm not letting you get any others."

"Well, I decided it'd be better to get on the high kings good side" Elias shrugged, causing Devon to glare at him.

"You really don't know how to shut up" Devon shook his head, he looked around before removing his mask with a sigh, "I don't want to fight you miss, honestly. But I need the sources." His face was covered in scars, his purple eyes glowing the same as the staff.

"Tell me why, and maybe ill consider letting you." She said, casting a curious glance at Elias. (I hope devon knows that nobody can find the light kingdom without the aid of a bit of the light source…))

(He doesn't need the light source to get another source, so he thinks that by the time he needs to get it, he will have the others)

"The Dark Kingdom don't have any known gifts or powers…but… there is the prophecy that one person will be able to control all elements. Well…we are… tested for that, our entire lives…and for the last few centuries no one has been able to… but… I can't prove it without the sources… And I don't want to be… this high king…but… I have the ability. I'd much rather keep things the way they are" Devon sighed, he doubted she would believe him, but he could prove it if need be.

"Look, the source is useless to anyone who can't use the power, the only reason they are so protected is because without them, the kingdom would be in great trouble, so whats the harm with giving him just a piece." Elias shrugged.

((he'd have to wait for the annual meeting if he lets cianna go now))

"If you'd rather keep things the way they are, why bother trying to get all the pieces?" Ciana asked, not believing it. She believed that he had the power, but she didn't believe it was going to be beneficial if he got it.

(huH?)

"Because… I have to…" Devon sighed. "I can't disobey my father…the king…He isn't very forgiving, or nice" He motioned at the scars on his face. "I don't have a choice, i have to get as many as I can before the meeting…where we will make our appearance"

(Ciana is the only person that has a light source thats not currently in the unfindable light kingdom.))

"You don't have to go back. what would he do with that power? he would probably start wars, create distrust, break treaties. You could hide. run. Ignore what your father says to do. But I still cant let you get any more sources."

"He can't use the power, don't you get it. Only people born with the ability to use a power can use it, and there is only ever going to be one person who is born to use them all" Devon shook his head.

"But you said you can't disobey him. so even if you are the one with the power, he'll be the one in control." Ciana said, watching him intently.

Devon was silent for a moment, "I have to get the sources, I don't have to use them, he can't force me to do anything, which he should of learnt that by now"

Elias started picking at the lock to the door, bored.

((… ciana was still holding elias's arm-))

"Then he cant force you to get them." Ciana said logicly. "If he cant force to to use them, then he cant force you to get them."

"you don't understand…he isn't very nice, if I don't do it, I might lose a limb. But I can use the power against him…I want to have a council, all of the heirs working together, of course, I would have to be in charge…for it to work…" Devon sighed.

"I would totally be the second in charge" Elias smirked, earning a head shake from Devon.
(They were close to the door, he just started poking the lock… idk)

((okay))

"You can't be completely in control, just the head to make sure everything was working. Everyone gets an equal say. No powers used against each other, only to help." Ciana muttered, not loud enough to hear. Then, louder, she said "I still can't let you do that. not without permission from the heirs. You'd have to actually ask Ginger for exactly what you need. And she'd have to say yes."

"… She won't… no one will agree…this idiot only did it because he likes to go against the system. But, either I get them to follow me, or I take the throne as high king and they get no say….neither would I" Devon sighed, he put his mask back on.

Ciana frowned. "I can't let you do that." She said, pulling out her knife. "You have to get permission, or i cant let you touch the sources."

"Would you give me permission?" Devon put the staff back across his back and crossed his arms.

"If you gained permission from the other heirs to get theirs, then i would personally cut you a piece of my own."

"well, Winter will, he's like my best friend, sooo there is two for you. And I could probably get the second heir of water, he's also really close to me…granted…a bit more than friends sometimes." Elias grinned, "So what about that?"

Devon facepalmed.

"That would work. but i dont need to know about your sex life. I'll go with you. you will ask. you will explain why. if they still say no, then you leave it." Ciana said. "Do you understand?"

Devon nodded, "you can release Elias now, he's less of a threat than me."

Elias huffed, crossing his arms, "My sex life is very interesting."

Ciana let go of Elias, rolling her eyes. "I'm sure it is. I'm going to go find that servant boy.. And have her come back to the garden. Then you'll explain the situation. And if she says no, then we'll leave it. Okay?"

"Ok, deal. either way the next stop is the ice kingdom" Devon sighed.

"I mean, I can make you a part of it if you want" Elias flirted.

Ciana didn't even acknowledge that Elias had spoken. She quickly found Cimbaline, hoping the boys could find the garden again. She, looking like a guard again, send Cimbaline to call on Ginger, before heading back to the garden. Cimbaline went to Ginger, bowing deeply. "Princess, someone is sending for you in the garden."

Devon and Elias followed Ciana, Elias clinging to Devon's arm, hurt that Ciana ignored him.
