Astraea heard a familiar voice in the kitchen and looked up to see Josh walking in with Eider, carrying an enormous box between them. A smile lit her face and she gently shoved the toddlers (now 3 of them were on her) off her lap. "Grandaddy!" she squealed, running over beaming. Josh set the box down on the island and got down on his knees so that when she hugged him they were at the same height. "Hey, baby girl! How's my beautiful Astraea?" he asked, hugging her and lifting her onto one leg. Astraea giggled and shrugged. "I'm doing okay. Isaac and Auntie Sorrel have been keeping be company." Sorrel, the daughter of Simon and Josh's twin sister Gia, was a private detective who ran around the world solving murder cases. She did not have any Elemental powers, but she did have enhanced intelligence and an ability to see through lies or schemes. Despite the fact that Josh absolutely despised Simon to the point where long ago, when they, Jasmine, Gia, and Colter had been the only Elementals, he had tried to kill Simon multiple times, he still had room to love Simon's kids and grandkids. "Happy birthday, my little Shadow," he said quietly, as if the words were meant only for Astraea. He pulled another present, this one a very small, perfectly wrapped box, out of his back pocket. "Your Grandmommy Jaz doesn't know about this present; I got is especially for you," he said, smiling and handing it to her. Astraea carefully unwrapped it and took of the lid of the box, gasping at what she saw inside: it was a small silver chain with a black symbol hanging from it-- the Shadow Demon's Mark. It resembled the side of a cat's head, with one large red eye and a large, shredded black cat ear. She could see the reflection of a sea of blood in the eye, and scars were visible beneath the fur. The end of the cats head faded into a swirling design, almost like a music note, then ending in a sharp point that was red, unlike the rest of the black design. "Oh, Grandaddy, it's beautiful..." Astraea said, admiring the necklace. She knew it would seem creepy and scary to anyone else, but to her, it was just a piece of who she was. Don't ever try to hide who you are or try to be someone else just because other people can't see your beauty, Josh had said once. You may be half-blooded, but the other half is angel. She smiled and put the necklace on, admiring the way it complimented her black shirt. "Thanks, Joshie," she said, hugging him again.

Mavis smiled. She sighed as Natasha jumped up on her and Emily was trying to talk to her. Mavis looked at Natasha as Alex picked Natasha up. Ella, Jason and Mavis continued talking. Ella smiled lightly looking over at Josh and Astrea.

Astraea left Josh to go find Mira; although Mira wasn't biologically related to the rest of them, her adopted father was one of the Elementals, and she was best friends with Mavis. She found the pretty ginger talking to Simon Jr.'s wife Ileana, a human-dragon hybrid with golden eyes. "... not used to being a father figure," Aunt Ileana was saying to her friend, and Mira nodded understandingly. "I'm sure Oliver's trying his best," she said, "but a man who's barely more than a child himself is sure to struggle with raising a kid; let alone twins." Astraea felt bad about interrupting, but she gathered her courage and squeaked, "Um, excuse me? Mira?" The women stopped their conversation and glanced down at her, smiled lighting up their faces; both Mira and Ileana had always been nice to Astraea. "Oh, hey Astraea," Mira said, squatting down to give her a hug. For the party Mira was wearing a knee-length dark red dress with black wedge heels and her hair in a french braid. Ileana, as usual, wore a dark purple jumpsuit with a shiny obsidian sword strapped to her back; over her jumpsuit she wore a light layer of armor, including pointed obsidian protection covering her shoulders and upper torso, her waist, and boots that came up to her knees. Her golden eyes shone brightly in the dimly lit living room, and her dark purple hair in a bun with an obsidian tiara atop her head. "Hello, little ombre," Aunt Ileana greeted her, speaking partly in her first language: French. Astraea smiled at them and cleared her throat. "Hi, so, um, Mira? I was just, er, wondering if maybe we could, I don't know... *Deep breath* I was wondering if you would go on a walk with me? I need some fresh air, but I don't want to be alone..." Her vice trailed off, and she dropped her gaze to the floor. Ileana asked Mira something in French, and Mira responded in the same language before answering Astraea: "Of course, Astraea. I think a walk would be wonderful." Astraea smiled as Mira took her hand, said bye to Ileana, and led her out the front door.

Mavis wawched Mira leave with Astaera. She was distracted though as Emmi came over and pulled on the side of her top. "Mama.. Mama.. Tasha fell. She hurt her knee. " Mavis sighed as Emmi and her walked outside. Natasha was sitting on the backdoor step. Natasha's knee was bleeding. Mavis sat beside her and sighed. "Uncle Sammi come'n " Emily said. Sam came out with a plaster. Quickly he used his powers to clean the cut then he dried it with a small but of help from Mavis. Then he put the plaster on Natasha's knee

Mira and Astraea went outside after Mira grabbed her sweater. It was warm with a light breeze, and the blue sky was cloudless and sunny. "How does it feel being one year older, Astraea?" Mira asked, sliding her arms through the sweater sleeves as they walked. Astraea shrugged and considered the question; she hadn't really thought about it. "I guess I just feel... stronger. Not in like a magical sense, but more like... self-confidence. I'm not as scared of myself anymore." Mira seemed satisfied with the answer and looked ahead, her emerald eyes reflecting the sun. "My birthday was a week ago," she said, smiling. "I turned 30." The realization that Mira was mortal struck Astraea, and she stared at the woman's face; she had aged extremely well; her hair was silky and fiery ginger; her eyes were bright and full of life; even her skin, which most other 30-year-olds would begin to see wrinkles on, was still flawless and smooth. But in the small things, like the way Mira looked at her, and the way she walked, Astraea could see the several years she had on her parents. Eider and Mavis had stopped aging around the time they married, so they still looked in their twenties, and they always would. Mira, however, would continue to age, and eventually she would lose her perfect beauty. "You don't look a day over 21," Astraea said, and it made Mira laugh.

((I feel really bad, but I dont know how to reply.. So like maybe could we have Eider come over to mavis or something?

[spioradkitty]

((K, it doesn't really matter to me. I guess we need to do something dramatic to give us some inspiration for a bit. OMGGGGGG XD idea! Ok, so since Mira is like the only mortal person there, what if while they're walking she has something terrible happen like a heartattack or something??? Then Astraea takes her phone and calls her parents or something??))

Eider, who had been talking to Oliver, left when his cousin ran off to chase after his son. He spotted Mavis through the glass back door and squeezed between the many people in the living room to go see her. He opened the door and sat down beside her. "Hey Maves," he said, glancing down at Natasha. She had a bandage on her knee, and Emily was watching her friend with a distressed expression. "What happened?"

[rainbowwrowell]

''As far as Emmi and Natasha told me, Tashy and her were playing.. They went to run outside and Natasha fell on the step,'' Mavis said. She looked up at him and then back at Natasha and Emmi. Natasha stood up. She whined as she did. Emily took the slightly younger girl's hand before walking away.

((I dont really know how to rp reacting to anything like that. Usually things I rp are kinda related from things that I know about or have experianced... like you could have Astraea maybe go to the bathroom and when she came back out, Mira wasnt there but like her phone was on the floor..

[spioradkitty]

((ok, like I said, it really doesn't matter to me. Ok, so I know our role-plays don't go like this, but here's how Eider and Mira's story went in the book I wrote: they got married, and when Mira was 22 they had their first child, Astraea Williams. She's pretty much the same in the book as she is in our rp. But since Mira is mortal and she gives birth to an immortal child, she dies in childbirth, and Eider has to raise his powerful demonic daughter alone. But my point is, Mira's meant to die anyways, so if we want to kill her off it's fine with me))

Eider sat beside Mavis and put his arm around her, leaning his head against hers. "We've raised some pretty amazing kids, babe," he said, taking her hand in his free one. "I know they stress you out sometimes, but you're such a good mother to them. Thanks for being there for the kids when I don't know how to." He remembered all the times Astraea was struggling with her powers, or when Emmi got hurt and Eider didn't know how to help. Mavis had always been there, and for 10 years she had never failed to be the mom their twins needed. "I love you so much," Eider said, and kissed her head.

[rainbowwrowell]

She smiled "I love you too babe.." She smiled. Natasha looked at her aunt and uncle. "Ew Emmi.. Your mammy and daddy are so mushy." Natasha looked grossed out. Mavis looked at Emily's face and giggled. Emily looked between Eider and Mavis then Sam and Alex.


((I dont want Mira to die.... I actually want to know alot more about all your roleplay characters.
