Pride beamed from him as the voting began. A pat of his tail hit the ground each time someone spoke her name. His smile grew when the twin sister voted FOR Euphemia. Was this fate? Was this meant to be? Are the stars singing and wishing for Euphemia’s story to be told, loud and clear?
The two were probably just awkwardly staring at each other from anyone else’s point of view, completely enamoured with each other.
Euphemia abstained from the vote for Wisdom, and voted for Brynhild for power. The last pillar was not contested. Adonis shook himself out of it when a dark figure spoke, their words spitting venom like an upset snake. The effects of the flame were an odd thing, still flowing through his veins like blood itself. Any upset he would have normally had, was completely dulled, though it still did not mean he did not like what was said.
Of course, Adonis simply did not understand the implication of what was going on when Euphemia abstained from voting. This system was completely new to him, and he was new to the pack…AND his mind is warped. Euphemia could do no wrong.
It was another dark woman who spoke, giving vote to Euphemia and Tiberii. There was so much going on, and he was in and out of his spell with Euphemia. He felt then he was free to speak.
He had already completely forgotten Monty had spoken.
”This one gives his vote to Euphemia, the great golden light that rises in the sky, for Wisdom. She held the wisdom to see this one rise from the mud and choose not fear, but kindness,” he said lovingly, molten eyes blinking as his stare did not leave her. ”For power, this one gives his vote to Tiberii…for the strength of the stars rests strongly upon her,” he said genuinely, breaking point with Euphemia here, though true to his thoughts.
”This one holds no objection to Courage. In truth, this one wishes to stand within that pillar, as an Adventurer,” he finishes, tail still thumping slightly behind him, excited to see if his love would get what she wished for.
