ADRYAN SHARPE

"Nice to meet you, Aaron!" The figure shouted and smiled at me.

"It's...it's Adryan," I smiled awkwardly. "You are...?"

"No, you did not just get his name wrong," Tiara frowned, "how dare you??"

"Nice to see you too, sister!" So this was who Tiara mentioned earlier with the mind magic. "Sorry Adryana -"

"Adryan," I corrected.

"Okay, I'm terribly sorry Adrien- I meant, Adryan. I'm Coraline, I'm genderfluid - too - and I use he/she pronouns," he introduced, grinning happily at me, not the same smile Tiara and Helena had though. "I know what you're thinking! I'm adopted, no worries, my mother did not cheat. Okay, maybe she did."

"It's delightful to meet you, I'm just a normal male Anmonian creature, heh," I said, forcing an awkward smile.

"Why did Helena invite you anyways?" Tiara rolled her eyes, putting her hands on her hips. Their sibling's eyes widened and he gasped loudly.

"Are you not welcoming me?!" She shrieked, presumably being sarcastic, "Helena said we were having a karaoke night!"

"Great, having a karaoke night with a music freak," The other groaned, that was before they both burst out laughing. "Does this mean Felicia's invited?"

"Obviously! Felicia, Aunt, Uncle, me, you, Aaron - I meant Adryan if he wants to, Helena, Darlina, Ashley, Zace...basically everyone's invited! Except for stupid Armaros and Avi, I don't even wanna admit they're from our family. Unless they're being nice for once," Coraline said, voice going from cheery to upset. "Did you even hear? Avi's applying to make Armaros the stupid future king or whatever that is."

Tiara frowned at the mention of their names - I think. It was silent for a while, seemed like they were deep in thought. Who were these Avi and Armaros guys? They seem to dislike them. Once again, millions of questions decided to form inside my mind.

"I did, Helena's taking the situation greatly, to be honest," She looked away, quickly doing something else like magicking up some flowers and plucking their petals. "I heard he got the position. I don't know how Rey even agreed to that."

"WHAT?! You're joking, Armaros can't be the future king, he's too stupid. Plus, he's not even Aunt's child, and Aunt is the Queen along with Uncle!" 

And now I was excluded from the conversation, all I could do now was to stay silent and listen.

"I know right? But Fey decided to talk about how Avi is his firstborn and he only chose Aunt to be Queen because she got married in youth. If he really cared about firstborn shit, Avi would've been the king, why his child? I'm sure he doesn't even KNOW how to rule a literal realm," She ranted whilst her hands started to pluck the flowers as quickly as possible. They were angry. Whoever this guy was, he was possibly someone who everybody dislikes.

"He couldn't, and even if he becomes king, we're all gonna be against him and cause more mischief to his life than he ever wanted. Hey, we have a God of Mischief on our side, he supports Helena being Queen! Hel ruled over kingdoms before, she has to be the experienced one. Armaros only manipulated some people and decided to say that he has control over everyone. What is wrong with him? Ack, what's wrong with Fey?! Such a bad grandfather for not knowing who's better for the realm, I've always hated him."

"Please, everyone hates Fey. I don't even want to refer to him as my dear grandpa. I'd love for him to fuck off and die already, he's like what? Ten million years old?!"

"He's in all the Nomnanian history books, piece of shit. Everyone knows about his legacy, he has everyone manifesting him a longer life. Look at him, shining so bright and healthy. Whatever shit I meant."
