Leo was nothing short of terrified as the cool metal pressed to his flesh. tears slide from the corners of his eyes and glided down his cheek and over the sharp blade. he knew for a fact that no matter how much the master ravaged his face, it would quickly heal, leaving no mark of his being injured at all. when he was allowed to fall to his knees, he immediatly curled in on himself, protecting his stomach and hopefully his face as well, but then the master's angered words sunk in and his face snapped up. he held as still as he could while Lucian bushed and tied his hair back. then the master was pulling him close and hugging him, face pressed into Leo's neck. when he heard the sob, Leo's arms encircled Lucian's shoulders, hands fisting in the other's shirt. "f-Forgive me, master" he said softly, "perhaps it would be easier to just hate me and be done with it." leo's stomach clenched with ice cold fear, but he forced himself to continue. "You should send me back to my people. i have failed both you and them and deserve my punishment. i will only hurt you more should i stay."

Lucian buried his face into Leo's chest and sobbed. "Damn them. Damn them to hell and back! Damn the power, the money, the royal blood, damn it all! I don't want any of it. I want to be normal, I want to be able to walk in the sunlight and never fear someone will try to kidnap or kill me. I want to be able to spend my afternoons watching the clouds, not sitting in royal councils or meetings." Lucian's entire body shook with the power of his sobs. He could hardly get enough air in as he wheezed out the next sound. "I want to take you with me into the nothingness of the forest and be free, but I can't take you away from the chance at something greater than what you've had. I want you to regain that part of you they killed, I want to mend your broken body and heal your fractured wings but you wont let me!" Lucian banged his fists against the floor and sobbed. "I can't fix you and I can't save me. I don't know what to do." Lucian fought the convulsions that started in his stomach and tightened the muscles in his back. "I hate the look you give me when I stand over you. I hate the terror in your face when I raise my hand. I hate the way you flinch at my slightest touch to your skin. You expect me to be like them and I can't make you stop without becoming one of them." His hands tightened into little fists and he spoke through clenched teeth. "I see the wings that are in you. You see my beast right beneath my skin and you've touched it. It wont let you leave. I've found my other half, my other beast. I've seen your beast. I know not its name, but it has wings of a light so bright they cast shadows over the creature they cling to." Lucian's head suddenly tilted up and he was staring at Leo with eyes like small storms. "I want you to see that beast and I want you to tell me you don't want it. I want you to tell me you don't crave that creature to flow under your skin and be alive." Lucian grabbed Leo's hands, wrapped his fingers around the wrists and gripping tightly, his power flowing off his body in hot scalding waves. Lucian poured the power over Leo, streams of tears running down his face. He touched his forehead to Leo's and let his power brush against Leo's and he gave a soft sigh. "Can't you see it?"

Leo was cinfused by the master's words. he tried not to flinch at the painful grip on his wrists, but the burning power washing over him was almost more than he could handle. he tried to look away, but the master's face was so close it was all he could see. slowly, Leo met the master's eyes and what he saw allowed him to grow bold, if only for a little while. "Master, why should i say i hate something that is a part of who and what i am? I do not know what you mean by my having a winged beast inside of me, but if there is one there then it is a part of me and why should i hate myself anymore than i already do?" he felt his own power rising to gently brush against Lucian's heated force and cooled it. "You are fire master. you are the storm and i-i am water, the peaceful calm found below the tempist tossed waves. we are oposites and yet we are the same. you hate they way i have been treated, you hate the life you are forced to lead. but your country is the strongest and most peaceful country in the world. if you run away, you the future of this proud and wonderful country, how long do you think that peace will last? when i was told i was to be given to you, for the first time in six years i had hope. even now the hope is there, and yes, it terrifies me. i'm scared because if that little ray i have hidden deep inside is crushed, i'm not sure i'll survive. i'm sorry that i flinch from you, but master i have only been with you a little over two days. do you expect me to overcome six years of torture in so little time?" he shook his head, "master, even for me that is impossible. i'm sorry, i'm sorry i hurt you but this is the only way i've been able to survive." he said, his honesty clear in his voice and eyes

Leo's eyes widened, "You really mean it, don't you?" he said softly, knowing that the other was seinser now that he'd allowed his powers to flow out just a little. "I'm sorry about the scent, i can't help it, it's just a part of what i am." he smiled a little, his power allowing him to be confident in himself and he dared to be even more bold than he had been before, "However, if you can contain youself, we really should get back, you father wont be happy about his precious dogs"

there was only one thing Leo truely wished for, and it was something that no one could ever possibly give him. he smiled warmly at the pince and nodded, "then lets go, master. i pray that i have not caused you too much trouble, for i'd never be able to forgive myself if i had." he stood and walcked to the slightly opened doorway, "the sun feels so nice-" he said softly as a gentle breeze blew his hair back and a soft russling sound, almost like the shifting of feathers, drifted from him. "As a faie, i can recieve nutrians and energy from sunlight. My element is water and as such i can survive on nothing but sun and water for a fair amount of time, it is a useful trait for a bentien" expecially when the master was angry with you and ordered for you to not be feed for days at a time
