Kayen and Vian
"Don't contaminate the clan's lineage with your worthless creations."
How he laughed then with his teeth bared as if he meant to take a bite out of Lucky Vereaux, who seemed far more insulted by his nonchalance than he was by her demands. "Angry as you might be, you can't stop me."
And between the two of them, in that moment, there was an unsettling silence that seemed all too familiar. Kayen could taste her doubt, and relished in what thoughts might inhabit a mind such as hers. Did she truly fear his pollution spreading through her dynasty? After having worked so hard to obtain a level of order, it was almost criminal that the older Fae would start releasing his heirs to roam unsupervised. Even if he had been there to police the actions of his fledglings, both he and Lucky knew he never intended to do such a thing.
Without a reply given, Kayen accepted what could only be defeat by nodding a few times while issuing a dismissive wave of his hand. "You might as well leave, Lucky. I'm sure there are things you need to attend to elsewhere, and I surely can't follow. Banished and all. I'm sure you understand." His geniality belied the cunning he was so well known for, though Lucky wouldn't have been fooled. Not for millennia had the other Fae present been naive enough to think anything good of him. Even Kayen was honest about his lack of sincerity and general admission of guilt. If it wasn't one thing, it was another; his reign of terror couldn't be countered by containment in the Dreaming.
So in his prison he would stay, even if it wasn't such a terrible place to remain. The Dreaming provided what he wished to have, and when shaped by one as old as humanity, there was no limit to what he could create to suit his needs. Adon had been his first creation, a little of himself and a bit of that crazed Englos woman. Perhaps the experiment had worked. Kayen didn't know for sure, as the youth was beyond his grasp in the fleshlands, and that distance wasn't one he was able to close. His second adventure in creation was Ki, who seemed so much like himself, he hardly knew whether he loved or hated her. His narcissistic nature ensured him it was the former, but there had been occasions that she disobeyed his commands, and for that, he felt a familiar pull of anger choking at his insides.
His latest creation was neither like Adon or Ki or even himself. Instead, she was a very close replication of Kismet Vereaux. Had he forcefully taken Kismet hostage for a few hours to ensure he knew just what to make when replicating her? What a silly question. Of course he had. All the past women in his life were members of the clan, and he had no intentions of ceasing the practice. Kayen was a creature of dark intent, true, but there was a sense of pride that encompassed even his carnal needs. No humans would do, and Fae outside the Vereaux were entirely foreign to the bound elder. Besides, assessing the other clans was difficult for those in the Fleshlands. There would hardly be a chance he could communicate with any of their members while trapped in the dreaming.
When Lucky finally left, Kayen returned to where he had been settled before the summon. His estate was larger than any singular being would ever need, but extravagance was his blood, and frivolousness his spirit. Having built the behemoth over the course of many years, it was safe to say the property was exactly as he wished it to be. High ramparts and towers, long winding stairways leading through drafty halls, and magnificently large chambers embellished with finery the world outside the dreaming would never be privy to seeing.
When one is banished to the Dreaming, they have little else to do but create. His first years were maddeningly silent. Just him, speaking to himself, while he struggled to understand how he might manipulate the lae lines to work in his favor. He made one single room over the course of a decade. By the time that was finished, he was capable of finer detailing. As the story goes, practice made perfection; he was one of the best at creating, Possibly better than Lucky, though he would never compare to Panzer or the old ones the lae lines had taken for recycling. The Fae before his generation were fae more sophisticated and articulate with their creations than the new breed was. Generation loss, unfortunately.
A colorful splash against the pillows alerted him she had followed directions. Promising. "How do you feel, Vian?"
"Fine, I guess." Her voice wasn't at all like the other Fae. It wasn't so magically altered that it was fantastical and moving to those who heard it. Instead, it was quiet and thoughtful. A delicate sound. "My eyes are adjusting to the light."
Kayen glanced around in question, unsure if she meant the artificial lights of his castle, or something he couldn't quite make out. "Are they too bright for you?"
"No, not really. My eyes are new though. It will take getting used to. Light, that is. Light will take getting used to." She brought up her fingers to rake through her plum shaded locks, the color seeming to ripple and change depending which way the light caused a sheen. "Where did you go?"
A valid question considering he was alone in the space between worlds most of the time. Besides Ki, who visited infrequently now that she was his eyes and ears on the outside, Kayen rarely received visitors. Just the lost souls who hadn't meant to trespass, but somehow found themselves wandering through his neck of the cosmic woods. He closed the gap between himself and the bed to take a seat on the edge of the mattress. "The Matriarch came to visit me on account of you."
"Of me?" Vian looked flattered, her luminous hues searching his face for hints of why this was the case. "What did she say?"
Rather than completely trample Vian's personal worth by admitting that the Matriarch wished she had never been created, Kayen instead shrugged. "Just that she was surprised I had made another Fledgling. Perhaps the two of you will meet one day, but no time soon, I'm afraid. You're no where near ready."
(and then more stuff I need to add still.)
