Today was just like any other day, with a addition of a bit of sadness. Amaya was in her unusual session of being depressed for the past few days after breaking up with Taiyo. It was amongst6 the hardest thing to do. It was harder admitting that the one person she looked forward to seeing every day was no longer there for her to greet other then at the crimson lions headquarters. Dozing back to sleep wasn't about to happen as she heard the sound of her door opening. causing her to sulk deeper into the barrow of blankets hiding her "Clear any schedule Jianyu...I am not feeling well today." She grumbled not getting any response while hearing soft patting of paws. God it was Leone again. She ignored the mana beast knowing he always tend to stalk around the estate and often patrolled what he considered his Territory. [break][break] She curled up tighter hearing her curtains get roughly moved by the mana beast, shedding light into her room as she attempted to sleep more before feeling the Cub pounce on her bed, being seemingly careful with where he stepped around her, trying to get into a comfortable spot next to her before doing the unspeakable. He stretched out next to her, pushing her off the bed within his stretching. [break][break] Amaya gasped falling out of bed letting out a groan. "Leone! I Don't wanna get up!" She complained as the mana beast huffed in response before moving off the bed over to her table, bumping his back left leg against the night stand, knocking her grimoire off the stand while catching it on his bottom shifting it to the middle of his back before using his wings to allow it to fall into the small satchel he held on himself before he moved to the door sitting infront of it's opened entrance watching her. Amaya winced getting up before looking at the nightstand where her grimoire was missing before looking over at Leone "Give it back." She stated as the mana beast shaked it's head before scratching his ear with his hind leg watching Amaya slowly rise before he rose himself before turning on his heels racing out the door. Amaya scrambled after him only to stop at the door from a hand coming out from the side, holding out an open fan "Nah uh uh. Ladies need to get dressed and not be out and about in their nightgowns." Spoke Jianyu [break][break] "But..." She was about to argue before sighing as she rubbed her eyes "I am not awake for this." she grumbled shutting her door getting ready for the day coming out about an hour later adjusting her dress. "Now where is Leone at?" She asked scratching her head slightly as Jianyu laughed lightly before giving his response. "Find your cousin and you will find your grimoire. Leone can most often be found with Hania as he only has Hania while you had your little lion to chase and attempt to play house with." He teased getting a slight glare from her before she walked off to find her Cousin and her Mana beast. She wasn't in the best of moods and honestly just wanted to sleep the entirety of winter away for a better spring. Maybe she would be over her depression by then. She stopped at the entrance to the hall that held her room. She looked over to the wall that held a family portrait of two familiar figures along side a tinier, duller version of a child size Amaya. She watched the painting in silence before shaking her head "Good morning." She spoke gently to the painting as she did every morning. She slowly moved through the Estate taking her time in waking up while trying to find Hania and Leone so she could properly take back her grimoire that the damn mana beast took on purpose.
[attr="class","haniascroll"]It hadn't been too many days ago that Hania had been given the news from a distraught Amaya that she and Taiyo had decided to go their separate ways. He hadn't expected the relationship to last long, still, he didn't like seeing his cousin so upset. The ice mage had never been romantically involved with anyone and so he couldn't begin to imagine what his cousin was feeling. It was due to this that he went to his nanny Winter and asked for her advice as he knew that he was out of his depths with this one. She informed him that for her, her world had likely just imploded and so would need time to grieve the relationship that she once had, to give her space and be there for her when she needed it. To him, it made sense and he would follow the sagely woman's advice to an extent.
From what he understood, Taiyo and Amaya had known each other for years and during that time he had, had to earn the right to even be recognised by her as a friend. He had informed Ard that he had a few family matters that required his attention and requested leave until it had been sorted, he was glad that his captain was understanding. For the last few days, he had been taking her meals to her in the hopes that it would help her but she had just decided to hole herself up in her bedroom. As he was planning on making her heir of the family this just wouldn't do. Could they show emotion? Yes, of course, they were still living breathing beings. Could they let it control them to the extent that they would break down for who knows how long? No, they lived in a world of sharks.
On the fourth day, a much-awaited response finally crossed his desk, it was from the youngest of the Yuiee children who had accepted to help Amaya with her magic. In honesty, it couldn't have come at a better time in his opinion, the issue was attempting to get his cousin out of her room. It was then he came up with an idea that would force her to leave whether she wanted to or not. The idea? Having Leone go wake her, if she didn't want want to get out of bed then, then he would just take her grimoire and bring it to him. Ordinarily, he would never go to such drastic measures but then he didn't believe that anything else was going to get through her heartbroken stubbornness. With this plan in mind Leone went to do as was requested of him only to return around ten minutes later.
Taking her grimoire he placed it onto his desk and wrapped it in silk, he realized that it may have seemed odd to many but a grimoire was an extension of a person and so should be treasured. To him, doing this showed it and his cousin respect. With that done he turned and looked at Leone with a genuine smile. "Come, let's play." he said knowing that the cub wouldn't hesitate to take up the offer. The moment Hania was away from the desk and grimoire Leone pounced on the ice mage and attempted to pin him to the ground. Hania was holding his own against the lion cub mana beast but pretended to struggle now and then knowing that Leone would get frustrated if it wasn't given and take. It was how they bonded and Leone learned what would and wouldn't work. To someone not expecting it, it would look as if Leone had pounced on Hania and was looking to do some real harm, especially as he roared and Hania's arm was inside the cub's mouth.
Rank & Element: Junior ¦ Light Class & Type: Relic ¦ Accessory (bracelet) Magic Specializations: Physical Reinforcement ¦ Healing Appearance & Lore: A simple bracelet made out of reinforced glass with an opalite charm dangling from it almost like a pendulum, that gives off a dull light during the day and a bright light during the night preventing any natural shadow from forming.
There is nothing of major historical importance or deep story into where this item came from. The white-haired heir of the Ravencrest family has suffered from terrible day and night terrors since he was young and still does to this day. When asked what is wrong he brushes it off telling people not to worry it was a condition he had. He will never go into the terrible things he sees, in fact, he personally wishes he could forget he quickly realized that his perfect memory was a double edge sword and at times he truly wished he didn't have it.
His elder sister Lydia was the first to realize that it happened more when he was in an emotional state or surrounded by darkness. She also realized that he refused to sleep unless every light source he could find was active or he would sleep outside under the sun during the day, this wasn't optimal as he was to be trained to take over the family if anything were to happen to Lydia. Still, there wasn't much anyone could think to do to help him as he refused to open up but even if they could that came with a different set of hurdles they had to get over. Hania earlier in his life wouldn't take things from people due to his treatment before being adopted.
It took a while but Lydia finally found a way to help her younger brother, she had a crystal made with light inside and told him to use it when he sleeps. She said it was hers and she just wanted to see if it would help. He was reluctant but she said it only had to be a few days so he accepted. Throughout those few days, he slept somewhat peacefully so it was clear that it helped but not enough, she could only guess that the light wasn't strong enough. She realized this would be fine for a normal child afraid of the dark but it was clear to the pink-haired woman that this wasn't a normal situation.
She personally designed what she believed would help him the most, she chose the materials, their appearance even the opalite that dangles from it. As the bracelet was being made she slowly started to imbue her own element into the glass beads and the opalite as the former was created and the latter was shaped. It took close to a year to complete but Lydia seen it as something that should be done slow and steady, this was to make sure that it was done right the first time and that no matter what it would be near indestructible for whatever he may face in life.
On what is now classed as Hania's eighth birthday after a certain incident happened, she gave him a box, within it laid the bracelet. He was told to keep it with him always as she would be there to keep the darkness at bay and watching over him so he could be at peace while he rested. From that moment he has always kept it with him even if he hasn't always worn it.

[attr="class","julienglass2scroll"] Sol approached the gate of the Ravencrest estate in his usual attire of black plants and a black oriental shirt and his katana strapped to his waist as usual along with his grimoire, if one were to spot his grimoire however a noticable difference would been as instead of it being a three leaf clover on it now the mages tome had four due to the mantis having tapped into his true elements and true aspects of his magic. As he reached the gate he was stopped by the guards as usual and when asked for his reason Sol said what he normally did for these trips.”I have an invitation from Amaya Ravencrest” he stated as the guards nodded before moving and allowing him in before having a guard start to lead him to where his mentee was so he could hopefully begin the lesson, for the past few days Sol had hardly seen his mentee which was a bid concerning but not out of the ordinary due to being noble and also dealing with the duties of a magic knight. [break][break] As the tree mage and the guard walked Suddenly they heard a roar coming from one of the rooms and both blinked before moving to where the noise had a originated and both the mantis and the guard opened the door, upon seeing Hania being pinned on the ground by what looked like a large lion cub with wings Sol took a step in to dispatch the beast on top of Hania but after a step he noticed something that made him pause,while the cub was pinning him down and had the mans arm in his mouth he was not actually putting in enough force to cause harm or even damage his clothing and it instantly made the mage relax.”oh thats what the noise was my apologies Hania I heard a roar and thought there might have been trouble” he said bowing to show he was apologetic since it was rather rude to suddenly whip the door open all of a sudden. As he finished Sol glanced at the mana beast and despite the fact it was acting like it was mauling Hania the decay mage had to admit the creature was cute. [break][break] He had a soft spot for felines and large cats in particular were some of his favorites though he was always careful with them since while they could be friendly it never took away the fact that they were still wild and could do great harm if provoked.coming out of his thoughts he spoke again.”By chance is Amaya available for training today I havent seen her in the past few days” he asked a touch of concern in his voice and while he was wanting to know what was the cause of such a issue he resisted the urge to pry deeper knowing that if he was meant to know they would tell him.

[break][break] Rank & Element: Junior ¦ Shadow[break] Class & Type: Relic ¦ Weapon (Sword)[break] Magic Specializations: Attack Creation ¦ Sensory[break] Appearance & Lore:[break] [break][break] An ornate katana with a twenty-four-inch (60 cm) blade. the sheath is made of what seems to be made of marble which has been carefully carved into and engraved with what looks like ruby, the base of the sheath has a gold kojiri. Just above the midway point, there seems to be a piece of onyx that has been set around the sheath, the top and bottom of the onyx seems to have the same white marble though it has been fashioned to look almost like fur or feathers. Connected to the onyx there seems to be additional ruby fastenings with ruby chains connecting one part to the next, near the top there is a ruby set in gold that leads off to three carmine red tassels. The handguard seems to be made out of gold leading into the hilt a hilt that is just under half the size of the blade that covered in lackered red marble before being surrounded in black ribbon with gold helm and small ruby beads at each crossing pattern of the ribbon. [break][break] The corrupting shadow was made using an unknown method outside of a certain noble family within Clover. This family has been shunned by many other noble houses because of their appearances and they macabre magic that they are born with so choose to remain in the forsaken region instead of the noble. Not a lot is known about this secretive family, it's hierarchy or its family mechanics and they aim to keep it that way, it allows them to continue doing what they are without too many questions being asked. One thing people will notice of this family is that when they pass their trial of adulthood they start wielding a weapon of some sort and how the dynamics of the family will change to that person.

Amaya rubbed her eyes, moving through the estate. She probably could have caught Leone and gotten her grimoire back by now, but no, Jianyu made her get dressed before chasing after the Mana beast, giving him a ten-minute headstart. Amaya just wanted to hibernate in her sorrow for a few months. That was all she wanted, wasn't much to offer the poor girl. However, it seemed even her mana beast wouldn't let her remain in her sad state. [break][break] "If I was Hania, Where would I be right now." She muttered, trying to think of where her cousin would be. It was odd she didn't know his schedule fully, but she knew most of the common areas you might find him more than. "Not the library, as that is a place I am not allowed in, so that would be cruel. Not the dining room, as it isn't time for breakfast, or would it be lunch right now." She questioned in a grumbled tone. She was so tired and worn and exhausted from her depressed state. Why was she hunting for her grimoire? It was just a book, after all. Well, that would be what those who didn't understand. It was an extension of the mage it was with. It was a part of her, just like Lady madness, the scar down her left eye and her life memories. Those all were meant to be near and dear to her. The Mana beast knew better than to take something out of the blue. No, it had to be planned by Hania, and somehow, Leone was willing to agree. Her Mana beast decided. She didn't get how it was approved and knew what to do flawlessly, knowing she would chase after him. [break][break] She turned her attention to the roars she heard from the only known source. "What is Leone roaring about." She asked, speeding up her run, sliding to a stop, and seeing Sol and a guard at the door of Hania's office; she heard the sounds from "Oh crap," She whispered, moving through the doors and allowing an audible gasp "Leone, Get off him." She called, pushing gently between Sol and the guard. She stopped a few seconds later to register the sight. She was too tired to acknowledge, not even thinking the first thought was Hania and him playing. She sighed, rubbing her face in annoyance before quickly collecting her mask of ease and happiness to being awake and out of her room. [break][break] The Mana beast was enjoying his play time with Hania, doing as they tend to at least twice a day, if not more, when time is available between Hania's busy schedule. He was trying his best to play and handle the animal instinct of trying to overtake his prey playfully. It was a reward for him doing what was asked of him successfully. He stopped playing as he turned to the set of new voices and a familiar voice. If he had visible eyebrows to raise, one would be presented in confusion as he let go of Hania's arm. Leone studied Sol looking him up and down slowly before turning to the female of the hour, letting out a playful roar of accomplishment. [break][break] Amaya composed herself before looking behind her, finally acknowledging Sol's presence and listening to his concern about not seeing her the past few days as she sighed. She didn't want to deal with anyone or anything, but he was there and, at some point, would figure out the sudden change of topics and acknowledgments of her daily life, so he might as well hear it from her mouth. "I have been dealing with sudden changes in my life as much as I want to say that I had them under control. I didn't, as I hadn't wanted to leave my room for the past few days." She spoke, not feeling ready to go into detail. She didn't like feeling this vulnerable in front of anyone. She felt better handling her issues on her own as small things like her feelings and dealing with relationships shouldn't be of anyone's else concern in her book. [break][break] These were problems she had to deal with and get over as she could pour her heart out to everyone, but that would raise more concern and attention she didn't want, especially around two important figures in her life. They didn't need to tend to her emotional state. She didn't want to bother Hania more than she had to, knowing he always made time for her out of his duties and schedules. The past few days, Amaya did appreciate him bringing her meals significantly. For the past few days, she had just been sitting wrapped in her blankets, watching the window, not paying any mind to anyone or thing. She appreciated the short alone time she had been given in an attempt to get back to her old self on her own. [break][break] "So, can I get my grimoire back now? I will be fine for the day since I can't go back to bed." She muttered, glancing at the mana beast who held his head up, proud of getting her out of her bedroom. Amaya locked eyes with the smug mana beast as she wasn't too enthused about being out of her room. Still, she knew there was no way she could go back to sleep thanks to the sunlight and running, waking her body up, having energy, and the want of not being stuck inside as her mind and heart wished to be.
