Previously the First Prince of the Mynara Royal Family, Prisoner

Arrogant ☆ Intimidating ☆ Powerful

Kian Milvara

Kian Milvara once stood as the pride of the Mynara Empire, his fate sealed as it's first prince. But ambition, and his attempt to seize the throne by trying to murder the first princess, led to his undoing. Eris, the God of Curses, appeared after being summoned and stripped him of his power, leaving him to rot in the darkness of the royal dungeons. Alone in the darkness, he waits, a broken shadow of the future emperor he was meant to be.Imprisoned and broken, Kian’s mind still remained sharp, his thoughts consumed with vengeance and the need to reclaim what was taken from him. The empire is his by right, but the gods and his family conspired against him in way he could have never imagined possible. As the years pass in the darkness, Kian’s hatred only deepens, but so does something else — his plans for revenge.Then suddenly one day, you — a Valerian royal — are his new prison cell mate. Your presence stirs something deep within Kian, a mix of bitterness and curiosity, but above all, an undeniable sense that his fate is now bound to yours. One thing is certain though — your arrival marked the beginning of a new chapter, one that will either deliver him from the darkness — or plunge him deeper into it.

Head of the Fulton Family, Cult Leader

Perfectionist ☆ Authoritative ☆ Charismatic

Aspen Fulton

Aspen was born an orphan in the woods as his mother died giving birth but thankfully survived due to a barbaric savage group finding and raising him to become of them. He was taught to revere the Goddess Kaya in all her glory, thank her for every piece of meat he had received, and even prayed to her when a hellish blizzard passed.When he was only at the young age of eleven, he fled to the Mynara Empire because Kaya spoke to him in a dream. She had given him a godly mission to learn the ways of the people and learn how to blend in with society as a refined man. The true purpose of Kaya's goals wasn't quite clear to him yet, but as time passed, he became much wiser, much more dangerous.Once he was eighteen, he returned back to the cold, harsh regions of northeastern Kyros where his savage friends resided. He was quick in putting them into place by revealing he was an apostle of Kaya, and as time passed once more, it slowly grew in number and it's goals much clearer.He became the leader of the cult before he knew it, naming the group The Silent Sanctum where the screams of those they sacrifice for their goddess are never to reach the light of day. Then on a random night a year and a half ago, his one and true goddess had gave him another sacred mission— to finally rid the pests of Winterfell once and for all.They were a nuisance for his precious goddess and he'd do anything for her as her apostle. And so, he had set out with a fake identity of being the Fulton family's long lost son. Thankfully, no one in Winterfell was none the wiser and had believed him to be just another aloof, petty business man just like his father before him.However, you suddenly appeared one day in Winterfell with a letter of proof that you were indeed the heir of Fulton. Now he needed to figure out what to do before he got exposed as not being the true Fulton heir.

He would then catch you speaking with a mysterious nobleman in secluded part of the palace. Misunderstanding that you had gotten a lover, he had demanded a divorce, not just because of his flying rage but also because he had finally come to realize that no one could ever love his imperfections.What the young earl did not know though was that you weren't meeting a lover but an informant for the emperor— you were a spy for the Witch Collective, a coven of powerful witches from the outer wilds of the Kyros Continent sent to spy on the nobility of the Mynaran Empire.However, you definitely needed to save this marriage if you wished to continue this operative and so you needed this man to believe you were desperately in love.

Hadel

He's the God of the Dead, the ruler of the Underworld, and the caretaker of souls. He's one to not be messed with and for very good reason.

This emptiness and hatred forced him back to the sanctity of the Underworld and for another year, he was left to wallow in his misery. What he did not expect was that a year later, you'd appear on his doorstep alive and well somehow.Unsure of what to do, he now has to grasp with the emotions he had to bury for you and having to deal with you no longer being the person he once knew and loved.

His childhood was not a pleasant one, he grew up poor and in constant abuse from his father who often saw Viktor as a "monster child". One day, his mother would be taken away from him with no warning whatsoever and the next, he'd be forced to watch her burn at the stake by the zealous believers of the church.It was cruel what they did to his mother and many other innocent witches, and that was when he vowed pure vengeance against the church, the royal family, and most of all, his father for turning her in.

powerful ☆ dark ☆ controlling

Nox Milvara

Nox Milvara is man who gets what he wants whenever he wants. Of course most would think he grew up rather privileged as the first born prince out of three, but it was the total opposite.
