Scar of King's Roar [TW]
Leona's eye hurts.
A lot of stuff hurts. His eyes are dry.
It's rare he sees his father.
Talking to the doctor in the other room.
His ears ache; but he catches some words.
"--Unique Magic..."
"--sand? Everything?"
"--blot--"
"--blind?"
He can't see out of his patched-up eye.
Things are weird.
He wants a bath.
A nap.
"And STAY here. No one wants to look after a cursed prince!" The servant scolds, hauling him in the--well. He's not sure where he is, really. It's dark. And small. And there's no one here.
If he wasn't a lion, he wouldn't be able to make out this small, box-like space. He has to sit to fit.
Jiggling the handle does nothing. He can hear the clatter of a lock.
Maybe if he just naps?
---
The door's still locked when he wakes up. He's thirsty, and his stomach growls. Hungry, too.
Pressing his ear against the door...
"Hello?!" He calls, maybe he can't hear them?
"HELLO?!"
Nothing.
He takes another nap.
---
Sleep is nice, but when he's awake he's remembering how hungry and thirst he is.
Why are there no servants? That's... how it's supposed to be, right?
Why did the nanny leave him in here?
---
His tummy hurts.
His throat hurts.
He's hit the door, and tried to use some magic. But he's not strong enough to get out. His claws aren't as long or as sharp as Farenah's, either. He can't just slash through things like his big brother.
Farenah's at school, far away, too.
---
Why can't the door disappear?
Words--strange words bubble in his throat. "I am your hunger, I am your thirst. I am what steals your tomorrows. Kneel before me! King’s Roar!" He doesn't know where it comes from. This strong magic takes nothing, but--but the door!
The door he was pushing against... it's sand?
"What is THAT?" A servant yells, looking at him in horror.
"What did he do!?" Another.
Coming toward them, he grasps their pant leg. "I--"
The cloth turns to sand.
The servant screams. And shoves at him--hard. Their claws pierce and cut his skin, as he's shoved away by his face. It hurts.
It hurts so much.
Stumbling, he falls into a cabinet.
It turns to sand, slowly, as he uses it to get up.
It's.
There's a lot of shouts.
He sees guards.
He...
---
Waking up here...
King's Roar.
That was the magic he used. His Unique Magic.
He isn't sure anymore.
Did kids get their Unique Magics?
He's so tired.
"PRINCE LEONA!" The shout of Kifaji startles him. Ears back.
Leona doesn't want...
"Oh no--what did they do to you? My little prince..." The bird flutters and all that.
But he doesn't want to talk. "Thirsty." He gets out, stomach grumbling. Suddenly, all of it's back. The hunger and thirst.
"Yes, yes!" And off the bird goes, coming back with a fresh glass of water. "Slow sips, Leona."
Taking it, he downs it gratefully. It soothes a lot. But he listens. Slow sips.
"I want a nap, Kifaji." He wants his room.
"The doctor hasn't finished--but what happened, Leona?" The soft tone of the adult. The old bird bends to look him in the eyes. Eye.
"...The nanny put me somewhere..." He mumbles, looking away. "And I got out with sand."
The King and the doctor return then.
His father looks just like Farenah.
Sunset hair. Gold eyes. Large. Proud.
He looks like his mother, the late queen. Dirt hair. Green eyes.
But he's only seen her in paintings. Farenah's photos.
Leona bows to the king, as he should, and keeps his gaze to the ground.
The doctor pulls up his chin. "His Blot levels are high, he's severely dehydrated. He needs water. Several good meals. That is an impressive amount of magic for a five-year-old..." He doesn't like looking at the old doctor. But he doesn't pull away like he wants to. "My King, you should be quite proud. You have two powerful princes in magic!"
"He summons sand." The king cuts back.
Leona's ears press flat to his skull.
The doctor is older than even Kifaji. "My, yes, we... are unsure if he'll keep his sight. Kifaji, make sure he's here after dinner. We'll do twice-a-day looks until it's healed."
"Yes, of course."
"He can go now." The doctor releases Leona.
"Come, my Prince." Kifaji gestures for him to come along.
Leona slides off the table, and bows to his father quietly before he leaves.
He doesn't stumble until he's out of the older lion's sight.
---
The servants are scared now.
They were just mean before... cursed is thrown around a lot, more.
They say, in their whispers they think he can't hear, that he killed the queen when he was born.
He took too much.
Of course he did, look at that magic.
Sand.
---
It left a scar over his eye, but he can see out it.
His fingers trace over it again and again.
"It does make you look like the King of Beasts, Leona." Kifaji points out.
"Really?" He turns back, looking at the old bird, curious.
The bird gives a big smile. "Yes, and I think you'll follow a path of greatness too, one day."
Kifaji's just saying that.

Idk if anyone talked about this before, but do you think that the hierarchy of different beastmen in the context of twst and the Sunset Savannah means that Chenya and other beastmen that are like domesticated animals are looked down upon, kind of? I wanna know very badly if there had been instances of this in game, so please do interact with this post with your own thoughts!

Noah Sariel
Tumblr media
Unique Magic: Cold Eclipse. Warmth is absent with this spell. Through gritted teeth, a cold chill will run through the bone, stopping them in their tracks for some time. The length of time can either be short or long, depending.
Bio: 
Nicknames: Runt. Nana (Family). Zoe’s younger cousin. Born weeks before schedule, he is known to be the “Runt” as a child. But this does not mean Noah should be underestimated when it comes to fighting and being a guard. While he is honored to be anointed as Cheka’s guard once he graduates, he desperately wishes he was joined by Zoe as one of Leona’s guards. He continually fears being left behind and forgotten by his family and friends, although this is quelled by them constantly. 
Trivia
Older brother to Vida(5) and Kai(3)
Is the only one in his family that got accepted into Royal Sword Academy 
Is the first to create a fight club at Royal Sword Academy
Is not very social at RSA as he feels like he does not belong, and wishes to be at NRC. 
He looks up to Leona. 
His partner of two years, Iris, is half-Fae from Sunset Savannah and also anticipates being a Sunset Savannah guard. 
Although it is unknown to him now, his grandmother Nora has a history with Lillia Vanrouge.

Listen, doing my research about some African cultures and stuff for a Leona drawing, I remembered someone said that "Leo speaking swahili is hot", but me thinks: him speaking xhosa...
I'm deceased.
