The Gyfted

4: Castien

Castien decided to just head back to his hotel since he had lost Aistel. He felt somewhat humiliated by the fact that she was able to give him the slip so easily. He was so deep in his own thoughts he hadn't noticed he was basically pushing people out of the way as he was walking down a busy 42nd Street. Humans should never be able to outsmart and outwit a Fae. It just feels wrong. He thought angrily to himself.

As Castien walked, he suddenly stopped and noticed his necklace pendant was glowing. Huh? What could he possibly be doing here?! I specifically told him not to come to the human mainland and to watch over our father. Castien thought angrily as he stormed off in the direction the pendant was going.

The pendant ended up leading Castien to a bar on 8th avenue. Of course it would be a seedy little vampire bar. He'd screw anything with a pulse or better yet a vagina! He angrily thought as he flashed his ID and stormed into the bar. Nearly as soon as he got in. He saw him. His younger brother Sebastian.

Sebastian looked very similar to Castien except for the bright pink hair he had and his icy blue eyes. Sebastian suddenly felt a chill and spun around to see his older brother glaring at him. To keep his bad boy imagine going in front of the fairies and Vampires, he grabbed a pissed Castien by the arm, roughly, and led him outside. "Elder brother. Why are you here and not looking for that unknown gyfted woman, Aistel?" Sebastian said in Fae. He knew Castien was fuming but didn't want him to make a scene.

"You waste of nuts, why are you here?! Who is with our father? Why do you disobey EVERYTHING I say?!" Castien yelled at his younger brother in Fae.

Several people had turned at the sound of Castien's loud voice. For a man who was relatively soft spoken, he was able to project his voice to a booming, intimidating tone. Sebastian began to feel embarrassed at the display due to the fact he was bowing to Castien. Deciding his pride was worth the disciple to come, he stood up straight and dropped the respectable tone towards his brother. "You need to relax, bruv. It's simple, I hired an aide for our old man. Plus our cousins said they will go and check on him everyday to make sure he is being taken care of. I haven't been to NYC in 20 years. I'm shocked how much has changed in the human world in such a short time. I guess because they don't last long." Sebastian said with a smug look on his face.

"My dear younger brother, your JAW is still attached due to human laws. I can be arrested for harming you as their laws extend to non-humans. Once we return home, however, I will try my best to break you during training and I will try not to kill you." Castien said coldly to his younger brother without so much of a twitch. Castien turned and crossed the street as a stunned Sebastian stood on the sidewalk.

Sebastian decided to ignore his brother for tonight and go off with one of the vampire girls he was talking to. He most definitely will kill me when he gets the chance. He'll claim it was a training accident. That's probably how Father killed Mother's best suitor... But would she still exist if... Sebastian's thoughts trailed off as the vampires gave him a drink of red poi, their blood mixed with alcoholic drinks. Highly addictive to humans and a mild drug for the Fae.

When Castien finally got to his hotel room, it took everything in him not to break something. Humans and they're over-inflated prices! He thought angrily to himself. I can't believe Sebastian would do that. He knows... he knows how much our Father hates aide's and help in that sense. A proud man, the head of the military might of the Fae Kingdom for nearly 400 years only to be struck down ONCE by a rogue, out-of-control troll. I didn't even know they could get that strong. I must get Aistel back to the Fae Kingdom as quickly as possible so that I can check on father. As well as figure out what to do with Sebastian. Castien thought to himself as he tugged on his clothes trying to remove them.
