the ice of my mind the twenty-one year old stood in the gardens of his family's summertime mansion. his ice-blue eyes stared out onto the grounds, coldly registering the glorious landscape. he went to the training area, clenching his fists angrily. then he straightened, calmed, and shot a spear of pure, white-hot fire at the target dummy. he screamed in complete and total rage, angry at the world. his mother had just been killed. a freak accident, they called it, but thomas knew better. she had known the secrets masked by riches, by powers, by smiles and false sympathy. the storm in my heart he knew his mother had kept those secrets, and she was on the verge of telling him. on your birthday, she had said. six months ago. now, he had to find those secrets. make sure she didn't die in vain. but for know, thomas would keep an icy mask of calm. he walked the streets of summerton, hoping to find someone to help clear his head. |

devon was enduring one of his "im an effing failure" moods. so the crown prince left the summer home, deep in thought. he felt awful. frustrated. sad. similar to how thomas was feeling, but for a completely different reason; thomas was angry about something that had happened, and devon was mad at himself. irs just a phase, he had told himself over and over but he knew better than to believe it. hed been this way his whole life and there was no way to change. it just wasnt fair. life wasnt fair.
he kicked a rock, hands in his pockets. he frowned at the ground, eyebrows furrowed in thought and frustration. he then spotted thomas and blinked. oh frick. girls were always around when he didnt want them there, and when he did, they were gone. he really could use the company of a girl, he realized, but that would just be awkward as he didnt dare tell a soul about the little issue he was dealing with. he took a deep breath and pushed all thoughs from his head. "hi,"

thomas whipped his head up. "hello," he said calmly, not recognizing the prince. thomas made sure not to betray anything. "i'm thomas."

he offered a small smile that didn't quite reach his sea-green eyes. "i'm devon - nice to meet you thomas," he said, offing him his hand to shake. it was only polite after all. it seemed that this guy didn't recognize him, and he was quite thankful for that. he just wanted to feel like a normal eighteen year old.

Sapphire approached the two boys. The 19 year old girl had bright blue eyes and wavy, blonde hair that fell halfway down her back. Recognizing Devon, she gave a small bow, but not an obvious one, as she could tell he didn't necessarily want to be recognized. "Hi," she said softly, offering a small, shy smile.

He offered a weak smile and pretended not to notice the bow.

"I'm Sapphire," she said quietly, unsure of what else to say.

then he turned back to devon. "wait, you're not-"

He nodded, relaxing for a moment into false security. Thomas hadn't noticed the bow the girl had done. Then he spoke again and Devon tensed up. "Uh?"

"i thought you might be... nah," he said, murmuring and shaking his head. thomas was now a bit cautious but this new guy seemed nice enough.

thomas smiled for real now, showing bright white teeth and dimples. he then turned to the girl, sapphire. "what houses are you guys from? I took my mother's house, najore, but I have power over fire," he said, flicking his wristband and sending a column of flames up in the air.

Devon grinned and flicked his own wrist, creating a spark which he manipulated into a ball of fire floating above his wrist. "me too," he said. "i'm a titanius, so- oh shoot. well, that totally blew his cover.

thomas gaped. "then you are prince devon! forgive me, your highness," he said, bowing nervously. most people would think he was afraid of the crown princes wrath, but he could not let devon know who he was, and what his mother had known.
