Around her waist, a ribbon of ebony silk cinched the gown, accentuating her slender form with a gentle, feminine grace. The ribbon trailed behind her, ending in a delicate bow that added a touch of whimsy to the ensemble.

Her long, obsidian tresses, cascading down her back like a waterfall of midnight, were adorned with shimmering pins that held intricate braids and adorned her hair with tiny, glistening stars. A tiara of silver and sapphires rested atop her brow, crowning her with an air of regal splendor.

Eyes, as deep and mysterious as the forest at night, held an enigmatic allure, framed by long, dark lashes that brushed against her porcelain skin. They radiated a quiet intelligence and a touch of mischief, hinting at secrets known only to her.

In her dainty, alabaster hands, she held a small bouquet of night-blooming flowers, their petals as dark as her attire and their scent a sweet, intoxicating perfume that seemed to draw the very essence of the night around her.

"Welcome back."

…

"I love you…"

"I love you too…" Synzer smiled back before letting me spoon her from behind, our legs entangled with each other after having an amazing time together.

…

"How has Clandestine been?" I whispered before giving the dark elf a kiss on the cheek.

She slowly turned her head to look at me and with an expression that seemed so unnaturally bothered, I quickly decided to drop the topic. Clearly, she wasn't intent on talking about work, especially after such a long business trip.

"Sorry, sorry… Anyways, is Lucius doing fine?"

"He's… going through his teenage years," Synzer sighed. "Recently I've gotten into contact with the school and they told me that he has been getting into trouble as of lately. That kid… seriously, I'm going to withdraw him from that damn school if I get one more call."

"But his grades have been doing fine, right?'

"Yeah, but at this point it won't matter as he'll be kicked out before he can even graduate and do something with those brains of his."

"Why not take him under your wing and teach him the ways of business? Wouldn't be too bad as you can keep an eye on him and he can most likely succeed."

"I'll think about it," The dark sighed once more before straddling my hips and leaning down to lock lips. And as she came back up, I saw a slight smile on her face. "How about you take him under your wing?"

"I don't want to waste his intelligence… and I don't want him to be in any part of this war."

"If he becomes my assistant he'll definitely become a part of this war, just not on the physical side," My beautiful wife stroked my cheek before giving me another peck on the lips. "You know what, I'll ask him. We should let him decide anyway. He's grown up enough to make his own decisions."

…

(Synzer POV)

"Come on…" I sternly smiled while gesturing for the boy to get out of the chair and with a slight roll of his eyes, he followed me.

The door slowly closed behind me to the headmaster's office and what do you know, I was back to pick him up after he got into some more trouble. This time it involved interest in some cult in the human world. Obviously, that was illegal and I'm glad my boy wasn't expelled yet… but I wasn't about to let him off too easy.

"DO YOU UNDERSTAND HOW PISSED OFF I AM RIGHT NOW!? EVERY TIME I HAVE TO MISS WORK FOR YOUR TROUBLEMAKING ASS! UNDERSTAND!?"

Elandrin, the young dark elf, my very own son had a reputation for trouble. At the tender age of fourteen, his appearance hinted at both his mischievous nature and his undeniable charm.

His raven-black hair, untamed and unruly, cascaded over his pointed ears with a sense of disarray that mirrored his spirited personality. The vibrant lavender hue of his eyes seemed to dance with a mischievous spark, reflecting the curiosity and audacity that defined him.

On closer inspection, one would notice the telltale signs of Elandrin's adventures etched onto his youthful face. A subtle scar near the corner of his lip served as a testament to some past scuffle, and another, more pronounced mark adorned his forearm, both relics of his daring escapades. He wore these scars with a certain swagger as if they were badges of honor earned through countless exploits.

Elandrin's attire spoke of a carefree spirit. He favored clothing in dark, earthy shades that allowed him to blend seamlessly with the forest surroundings, a practical choice for one who often found himself slipping into or out of trouble. His garments bore the marks of wear and tear from his adventures, but he wore them with a nonchalant pride.

His movements exuded an air of confidence, and his quick wit and sharp tongue were readily apparent. Elandrin had a penchant for clever quips and sly grins, making him both an engaging source of amusement and a source of exasperation for those around him.

When not causing a ruckus or embarking on escapades, Elandrin could be found in his element, practicing his agility and marksmanship with a bow. His natural aptitude for archery was evident, a skill he had honed through countless training sessions hosted by his other mother.

"Sorry," The boy rolled his eyes once more before attempting to walk away. But this time, I was so angry that I grabbed him by his shoulder and firmly placed him in front of me. He cocked his shoulder back to try and relieve some of the tension, but I squeezed hard, making sure he had no chance of escaping.

"You know what, that's it. I'm taking you back home. For the rest of this school year, you will be training under your mother. And I will personally make sure you see the horrors of war so you know just what it's like to suffer a bit…" I grit my teeth while hovering my hand over my face. "God, we spoiled you way too much. You wouldn't choose the streets if you were really born in them."
