The Elements
Chapter 30
Ayiana listened to her son with half an ear. There was something different about Leif, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it. Maybe he was maturing? Was that it? Was he growing into his role as the future king of the Elves or Sidhe? Was that why he was here? No, if that was the reason for his visit, Eric would be with him. One to rule the Sidhe, one to rule the Elves. Or maybe to rule both, together. But that didn't equate with what Leif had said--"grave news." Maybe he was here to tell Ayiana and her beloved King that he was going to renounce his right to rule. Or maybe It had happened.
Startled by that thought, Ayiana listened to her eldest son. Apparently, her musings had not caused her to miss much.
"When it was just Rafe and Rhys, I was content to leave it alone," Leif was saying. "But now Heero's involved, and I don't want my little brother getting hurt. I'm sorry I didn't come to you sooner." Leif broke off and looked away from his parents, but Ayiana could see the tears spilling down his cheeks even as he raised a hand to shield their gaze.
There was only one thing Ayiana could think of that would make her son that upset, only one thing that didn't involve the Riders. She risked a glance at Legarian to let him know that she'd be the one to ask. After all, she'd been the one to insist that, if the boys could only have one permanent guardian, that it be Rhys. He was by far the best of the Sidhe, and-as much as Ayiana loved her husband-only a Sidhe would do as a bodyguard. Ayiana hoped that she was wrong in her assumption. She didn't want to have to punish her favorite.
"What *exactly* happened?" Ayiana asked Leif, silently begging him to tell her something other than what she thought. //Tell me that there was an accident in pottery class, and all three now have living statues of themselves running around the state of Pennsylvania. Tell me that Rhys has been letting Rafe do illegal, mind-altering drugs, and you recently found out he was letting Heero do the same. Tell me *anything* other than what I think. Please!//
Leif sighed and looked at his parents. Legarian wrapped his hand around Ayiana's.
"Rafe and Rhys have a...romantic relationship," Leif said. Ayiana felt her face fall and knew Legarian's did the same. Before either of them could say anything, Leif continued. "I know it's wrong-consorting among the classes, *especially* royalty and warriors-but they seemed so in love. You never saw them together, but they were so doting on each other. I could see the love they had for each other. I could almost touch it, it was so tangible.
"But today-oh, God!--today, I went to visit Heero, and-and--" Leif cut off abruptly, turning his back on his parents. He got himself under control and began speaking again in a much more controlled manner. "Hid door was unlocked, so I went inside his room. It was empty, or at least, I thought it was empty. I heard noises coming from the bathroom. Heero was moaning; that right there should have tipped me off. But me, being the naïve person I am, I thought he might be hurt, so I burst in. He wasn't hurt, though he would've been if Rafe had opened the door instead of me. Thankfully, he was in our dorm room with Eric."
Ayiana didn't have to ask what Rhys and Heero were doing, but she needed to know one thing. "Was it rape?" She honestly didn't know what she wanted the answer to be. One look at Leif, who whirled to face her, confirmed that he hadn't even thought of that, and she rejoiced that her son hadn't had to go through something like that, and she was saddened that he would willingly participate in it.
"No, at least, I don't think so. Heero seemed to be enjoying himself." That was definitely like Heero. Ayiana couldn't count the number of times her youngest had gotten into trouble over the years because of his he would kiss first and think never. "I only wish that I'd told Heero about Rafe and Rhys when I first found out. Then, maybe, this could have been avoided."
"Avoided?" Legarian asked, leaving Ayiana's side and stalking over to Leif. "This could have been *avoided* if you had come to us when you first became aware of Rafe and Rhys' relationship. How long has this been going on?"
Leif looked at Ayiana for help, but she would offer none. She was too disappointed-in Rhys, for fucking two of her sons; in Rafe and Heero, for having sex with a lower; in Leif, for knowing and not doing anything about it; and in herself, for not knowing and not preventing it-to really do more than stare at the impending argument.
"Tell me, Leif, how long you have known of this perverted *abomination*!" Legarian demanded. He looked truly ridiculous glaring up at his son, or he would have, had his glare not been as fierce. "How long have you covered for that-that *pedophile*!"
Leif averted his eyes from his father, again. If Ayiana didn't know better, she'd think that he was trying to hide something. But she hadn't known he was hiding this, either, so maybe she didn't know better.
"I found out when we were thirteen," Leif said, sounding ashamed. "I'm sorry that I didn't tell you sooner."
"He'll have to be punished," Legarian said, stalking away from Leif. "For daring to touch either of my sons, I will discipline Rhys."
"*You* will punish Rhys?" Ayiana asked, indignant. "*You* won't be punishing *anybody*, unless you choose to discipline Heero or Rafe, which I highly doubt. The two of them could ice-skate through the corridors, naked, with a horde of lower-class men on their backs, fucking them, and you wouldn't do a damn thing to punish your pwecious wittle babies. No. I will punish Rhys as I see fit, and you'll not do a damn thing about it."
"As you see fit?" Legarian questioned. "I think we all know what that means. By the end of tomorrow, I think *you'll* have Rhys on his back, "punishing" him." He affected a high-pitched voice. "Oh-oh! Rhys, you naughty, naughty boy. You take your punishment like a Sidhe. Oh, right there! Let your queen ride her favorite!"
"How dare you!" Ayiana crossed the room and smacked Legarian. "I have never cheated on you, though the Goddess knows I should have. You're just trying to throw suspicion off yourself. If you *do* get up the courage-and I do mean "get up"--to "punish" Heero for being a bad, bad boy, the servants will be able to hear your grunts of pleasure for a whole three minutes down in their wing, you incestuous, pedophiliac, *little* coward. Though, it will give Heero a chance to get in a nap-he's obviously not getting much sleep in his new school."
"I would never--"
"The lady doth protest too much, methinks," Ayiana said.
"Ah, oh, ugh!" Legarian sputtered. He reached around his neck and yanked off the necklace symbolizing their union. "This is the last time you insult me. This is *war*!" Legarian stalked out of the room.
Ayiana rolled her eyes, pulling off her own necklace and throwing it to the floor. Really! Elves were such drama queens! She strolled out, barely noticing that Leif was still there.

Bel smiled to himself. That had been almost too easy. He hummed to himself as he imagined Oberon's reaction to this. They were that much closer to getting this beautiful place as their own, without any pesky faeries.

Rhys could definitely sympathize with Duo. Way back when , when he'd realized that he was Rafe's soul mate (she'd been Rosmerta then, and a pixie) he'd taken it hard. And he had been in love with her. From what he'd heard, Duo didn't even particularly like Heero, much less love him. To find out that he had, not just liked, but been in love with someone he could barely stand must have been very difficult.
Duo shook his head, as if emphasizing Rhys' thoughts. "It makes no difference," he stated, "and I won't-I can't-pretend that it does."
Duo turned-presumably to leave--and walked away from the others in the room. Before he reached the door, however, he collapsed in a heap on the floor. Rhys rushed over to his prone form, and felt for a pulse. It was there, but rapid. What the *had* that stupid son of a bitch done to him?
