1-A ☆ Bookworm

It was a perfect crisp autumn afternoon and the vibrant colors of the changing leaves was a pleasant sight from within the small walls of the greenhouse. Those passing by The Archives on their way to do their daily tasks could see that there was a new face that graced the library. A rather large owl-like Goetic Demon was hard to miss. Sitting at one of the "medium" sized tables, it still looked like a child's desk in comparison to his tall and slender stature. As usual, the prince looked unbothered by how much of the world around him didn't conform to his body proportions. He was engrossed with the stack of books that were neatly placed around him as he scribbled into a blank leather bound tome of his own.

One by one, with a flick of his talons bluish purple magic entwined between his claws as a similar aura would surround the next book in the stack, levitating it to a cleared spot on the desk beside him. With a casual flick of his finger, the pages turned on their own accord until something caught the demon's eye and the flutter of pages would pause long enough for the owl the scrawl in his journal. Once the books provided no more useful information, Stolas would simply wave with a glow of his hand to send the book floating carefully back to its home on the shelves. On and on this process would repeat, with the graceful dance of drifting books and the glimmer of magic.

1-B ☆ Map the Stars

The night was still with the pleasant hum of Reverein's nocturnal wildlife in the air. Under the boughs of one of the elegant trees that lined the silent banks of the large lake deep within the forest sat Stolas. Knees buckled into his chest to prop a journal in his lap, his red eyes turned skyward. There wasn't an air of concern about what local fauna could be lurking in the dark. The Goetia was enjoying the peaceful scenery as moonlight glittered in the ripples. A part of him couldn't help but wish his daughter could see this. That he could share it with... Never mind. He pushed that thought away.

Bathed in the glow of the two moons, it was bright enough to illuminate the page before him. To those with a keen eye could see the contents of his notebook. It appeared to be a circular grid in which he was studiously drawing on. A map of some kind?

2-A ☆ Cursed Candies

The Goetic Prince sure did love his fair share of festivities~ Ones that weren't made at his dispense, that is. The locals around Reverein were getting the owl into the holiday spirit with all their little parties that seem to be sprouting all over. And besides, who doesn't love a costume change or two? Certainly this daddy diva did~ Dressed like a swash-buckling pirate complete with two eyepatches to cover his secondary eye over his forehead was Stolas, enter mingling with the small cluster of fae that flooded the street. Towering over the flock of colorfully dressed fae was probably a sight to see. But Stolas appeared to be enjoying himself regardless. Who wouldn't be with the gifts of free candy? Pocketing the sweets into a draw-string bag that one of the locals graciously provided, he occasionally would pop one into his mouth in between idle chit-chat.

Some had an... interesting after taste that left his tongue tingling. And the lingering urge to plunder some booty.

2-B ☆ Birds of a Feather

The sun was high and the corvids were cawing~ Seriously.. as of late, the number of crows the Goetic Prince had counted had nearly doubled over the past few days. Not that he minded this feathery invasion. Just... a curious observation. The demon chalked it up to being apart of the Halloween spirit. Only being here for a month, he had already grown used to its oddities.

Walking down one of the forested paths, Stolas carried a small basket filled with quills and parchment as he heads back towards the library again. However, along the way he stumbled upon a murder of crows. Normally he wouldn't spare a second glance but something caught his keen eyes. A glimmer. Clutched in the bill of the shale black bird was a marble? No. It was one of those strange baubles that appeared by his bedside. Why in Hell would it have one of those? A kind deliverer? Or a thief? Looking at the rest of the flock he realized they all had something glittering in their beaks. But before he could take a closer look, the biggest of the group gave Stolas a throaty kraa singling the clan to take to the sky. Curious, the owl followed.

The air around him cooled as he could hear the whisper of water over rocks. He could tell the river was close as the birds descended back into the trees. Was their nest nearby?

Time to brag about the family? Time to brag about the family!!!

"Oh, my entire bloodline is full of explorers! From my ancestors up in Scotland all the way to my own little boys!" She proudly thumped a fist to her chest. "I've been going all over the world, finding lost treasures and rediscovering ancient cities since I was a duckling!" If her ego could get any bigger, they'd both suffocate.

"That's why I love this place - it's full of totally new stuff to explore!"

Eyebrow quirk. A guy with that much power didn't have freedom? Very curious. But his line about the family hit home (haha...) too hard, and she looked away, a little uncomfortable.

"Well... yeah. I mean, the best part ABOUT adventuring and exploring is doing it with my family. Normally I'd be all over this place with my uncle, my brother, my boys... so, uh... this place is nice, but not as nice as it could be."

Way to be a Debbie Downer, Stolas.

Funny enough, him stumbling and fumbling with his words actually did cheer him up. It showed her that he was being sincere, not putting up a front. She wound up chuckling, and leaned back, resting on her hands.

"Ease up there, big guy. I know you didn't mean any harm. Being sad's just a part of life, and it comes and goes. Yeah, I'm bummed now, and I'll be bummed again. But it's not something you have to apologize over." An off-hand shrug.

"I'll make a long story short... I was away from my kids for about ten years. And I'm not gunna win any Mother Of The Century awards. So when I say I'm gunna be a sad duck again, that's a promise. But I don't think that's something to be ashamed of. We're allowed to be sad. We should be sad. It just means... that's how deeply we care about families. If we weren't sad about being away from them, we'd be kinda evil, huh?"
