♔

♦ you look just like your mother. a pair of watchful, dark red eyes. a mess of blonde curls refusing to be tamed by you - or anyone else. a frail, but elegant figure, and a soft, effeminate face. a smile, that conquers the hearts of even the most hardened men - only you find it hard to smile, and she doesn't. that's where your similarities end. you do not have her lust for life, her desire to be freed from the birdcage she has built around herself. she sees it in your timid eyes, and she sees being a mother to you is holding her back. so she sets herself free of you and flies away.

[break][break]

♦ your father is another story entirely. he's a stern and intimidating man with no taste for forgiveness. you wonder how he could love someone like your mother - a songbird, who couldn't stop singing of a life without the two of you - and if he was once like her, wild and adventurous. you're afraid to disappoint him, but even when you do your best, he sees your flaws. you're too soft, you lack ambition, he says. but really, you just look too much like your mother, and he sees it fit to punish you for her sins. you grow up in the birdcage your mother left behind, and you're not brave enough to break free.

[break][break]

♦ you grow to become a passive child, singing only the song your father wants to hear. you have no siblings or friends around to play with, because he thinks it's better for you to spend your days studing magic, so that you'd become a great witch and carry on the family name onto greatness. you find your talent in enchantment, an art of mana manipulation, the same art your mother had excelled in, much to your father's distaste. you pursue your studies, until you're of age to join a coven - in which you have no choice in. you are scared and relieved to be sent away to become one of the helios knights.
