Emerald Stone
Me: This is the first book in the Emerald Series ^_^ I hope you all enjoy reading it as much as I enjoying writing this. Shattered Emerald is the Prequel to this story but is not really relevant to read, just a side thing that I wrote when plot-bunnies took over lol. Anyways please leave your comments at the end
Over all Series Warnings – The whole series may/will contain:
Mentions of child abuse in speech and scenes in flashbacks – will be mentioned at the start of each chapter and marked if you dislike reading any in detail
Sexual references – this includes nudity, blow-jobs, hand-jobs, masturbation and full out sex (details below)
Slash pairings will be latter on in the story and detailed sex scenes – please leave now if you find this offensive. If you like slash but don't like detailed sex scenes I will be clearly marking each scene before and after as well as warnings on the chapters
Yuri pairings will be included but only kissing, hugs and mentions of sex – I don't feel very comfortable writing a female sex scene. Again I will mark at the top of the chapter to warn you if I included it
Normal malexfemale pairings I won't really go into detail again just kissing, hugging ECT just no detailed sex
Mentions of rape – this will come into play latter in book 2. It will be told through 3rd party view and maybe victims view. I will state at the start of the chapters if it contains rape and will mark the scene clearly for those who wish to skip it. Again if you find this offence please don't read the story
Bad language aka swearing and a lot of it sorry if you don't like it but I do, it's a great way to express one's self
Blood/gore/death – these are a definite in my Series. Characters will die, bleed and most likely torture scenes. Again I will mark if the chapter contains any of them
Warnings for this chapter:
Mentions of child abuse through minor flashbacks and speech
Bad language – swearing of adults and minor words such a 'piss' by children
Sexual references – nudity (shower scene) not in great detail though
Slash pairing – two OC's, you'll find out who when you read the chapter
Me: Right that's it for the first chapter. Please enjoy yourself
Chapter 1 – Corvinus Family
It had been almost 6 years since he started to live with the Corvinus Family. They were everything he had longed for as a child
Loving
Understanding
Guiding
Caring
His fathers, Marc Corvinus and Lucas Corvinus, were everything to him. They were always there when he needed them, but backed off when he felt overwhelmed by them.
His siblings were great as well. He had 4 older brothers and 2 older sisters. They always protected him but let him make his own mistakes but treated him like an adult
Yes he was very happy living with Corvinus Family
He belonged there
And he hoped nothing would take him away. Well even if they tried his family wouldn't let them take him. And he loved it
Emerald Series
Young newly-turned 11 year old Aeriona Caecelius Corvinus woke up to the soft whispering of his siblings. They were gathered around his canopy bed in order of age, "Shush you'll wake him," His sister hissed and a ghost of a smile crossed his lips. "I'm already up," He whispered to them and they grinned, "Hey Ria," Aeriona smiled at his nickname, after his entire name was ridiculously long and hard to pronounce . . . but strangely suited him.
His eyes opened to show beautiful Emerald orbs that shone with power and intelligence but also a loving loyal soul. That gaze passed over each sibling in order taking in their unique appearances:
Alver Dominic Corvinus: His eldest brother at 19, born on the 5th of August. His name, Alver meant white and was chosen by their fathers because of his usual naturally white hair which was grown out to his shoulders and pulled and secured with a gold tie that was a gift off Aeriona. His fringe was pulled to the left and covered his sightless left eye which had a horrid scar running from his hairline to his jaw. His visible eye was a deep earthy brown that shone with feeling. His skin was a natural golden tan and he stood at 6ft7 with slight build of a runner. He was attending Nyx Academy as a Blood Mage Apprentice.
Chrystal Elana Corvinus: His eldest sister and Alver's younger twin by 5 minutes which made her 19 and born on the 5th of August. Her name, Chrystal, meant bright, clear, ice, and was given to her for her icy blue eyes and bright natural honey blonde hair that was cropped into a jaw length bob with a full fringe, at the moment she wore it in loose waves. Her skin was also a natural golden tan colour and she stood at 6ft4. She was attending Nyx Academy as a Curse Breaker Apprentice.
Alexandriana Bella Corvinus: Was Arian's older twin sister by 6 minutes and as such is 17 and born on the 20th of April. Her name, Alexandriana means defender of man, and was given to her due to her natural instinct to defend her twin brother who is more vulnerable than her. Her hair was a dyed bright fire red and fell to her elbows and was at the moment pulled into a fish tail at her left ear, her fringe was a sweeping left fringe and was always kept above her eyes which were a soft blue with tints of silver. Her skin is more olive and she stood at 5ft7. She attends Merlin's Academy in her final year and is has decided to go to Judi's Academy to appearance in Arithmancy and Ancient Runes
Arian Ociel Corvinus: Was 17 and born on the 20th of April. His name, Arian meant silver, and was given to him for his bright silver coloured eyes that glowed with mischievous intent, his hair was a dyed dark purple and cut short at the back with jaw length bangs and slight right parted fringe, his natural hair colour was a dirty blonde. His skin was more olive and he stood at 6ft1. He was attending his final year at Merlin's Academy and had decided to go onto Warding with Judi's Academy.
Leon Sora Corvinus: Was 16 and born on the 1st of March. His name, Leon, meant lion, given to him because of the orange/yellowy colour of his hair which was very wildly spiked like a lion's mane. His eyes were a soft brown and he stood at 6ft5 with a swimmer build. He was in his 6th year at Hogwarts and was considering a career in either Healing or Wards
Dojan Felix Corvinus: The youngest next to Aeriona at 12 and was born on the 17th of June. His name, Dojan, meant dark because of his near black eyes and raven hair that he always spiked to the left with midnight blue tips. He stood at 6ft6 and has a 6 pack with a nice set of muscle. Of all the Corvinus's Dojan was the most intimating. He is in his 2nd year at Hogwarts
Each sibling gave morning/happy birthday greetings before leaving so Aeriona could dress in peace. He got out of bed and smiled when he felt the warmness and knew Alver cast a warming charm for him knowing of his extreme dislike of the cold. He passed a mirror and sighed at his appearance
Knee length raven black hair but had natural highlights of sandy blonde and dark earthy brown, his skin was a soft creamy ivory colour, his eyes were emerald with thick dark lashes, lips were red and pouty, body slender and slim and he stood at 4ft4. He was easily the most beautiful of the Corvinus – or so the others told him. After all:
Aeriona . . . meant beauty.
Shaking his head he dressed quickly in tight gray jeans, and a soft silver silk shirt, put his socked feet into the black slippers and left the room soundlessly.
He went to the drawing room to greet his father's
Marc Elias Corvinus was the tallest of the two men at 6ft9 with a solid yet slight muscle build, his skin was a gentle olive colour, ink black locks of hair fell to his shoulders but was pulled into a loose ponytail at the base of his neck, happy loved filled celestial blue eyes gazed at Aeriona's own face from thick dark lashes.
Lucas Rex Corvinus was only shorter by 4 inches as he stood at 6ft5 with a dancer's build, his skin a natural golden tan colour, soft honey blonde jaw length locks swayed gently with his every movement as he brushed his fringe back behind his right ear. His deep earthy brown eyes started gently at his face as Aeriona went closer
"Happy 11 birthday, my dear Aeriona," Marc opened his arms and Aeriona hugged his father tightly pressing a kiss to his father's cheek gently, Lucas smiled as he watched his husband and youngest hug before hugging his son himself.
"Let's enjoy breakfast before you can open you gifts sweetheart,"
The three left the drawing room and walked to the dining room where the others were sat waiting with big smiles on their faces.
On the table was a wide range of Aeriona's favourite food that the House Elves had made up and even a banner with
'Happy 11th Birthday Little Master,'
The House Elves were incredibly devoted to him for some reason but none of them questioned it.
The three sat down and enjoyed the breakfast; cheerful banter was passed between all of them as they dug into the delicious food.
Afterwards they retired to the informal living room where there was quite a sizeable pile of presents
Chrystal ran her hands through his loose hair as she handed him the gift she bought first with a smug grin to the rest that she was the quickest. Aeriona pressed a gentle kiss to her cheek when she sat in the velvet green armchair and he decided to sit against her legs. He carefully pulled the green wrapping paper off and smiled at the lovely set of midnight black velvet battle robes, they consisted of tight moveable jeans that were charmed by Chrystal herself to be fire-proof, water-proof and had a couple of protection charms against minor curses. The top was also black but made of silk that would cling to him like a second skin and had the same charms on. The shoes were calf length black combat boots. There was also a wand holder for his right wrist and a few blade holders. "It's wonderful, thank you," He pressed another kiss to her cheek and hugged her, then she pulled a brush and emerald leather tie from her own robe, "May I?" Aeriona nodded and she brushed his hair before dividing into three equal sections at his hairline but leaving his right sided fringe and started to do a French Braid.
"You hog," Alver rolled his eyes as she pocked her tongue out at him. Aeriona smirked at his eldest siblings antics as did the rest – it was always some sort of competition between them, the: who can get to Aeriona first game. It was amusing but slightly annoying at times . . . well for Aeriona it was
"Anyways, here kiddo, happy birthday," Alver handed him a white and red package, the boy took the gift gently and pressed a kiss to the boy cheek which made Alver smirk at Chrystal,
"Tch, he gave me one first," She said with a slight hiss and a smug smile, "I'm afraid that's where your wrong dear daughter, his first kiss belonged to myself," Marc commented lightly
"Fuck," Chrystal swore much to everyone's amusement, "Anyway, open it Ria," Grinning at Dojan he gently pealed back the paper and grinned at the blood red box which had complex carvings in gold. He opened the box and ran his fingers over the Alchemy Kit. There was a solid silver ritual knife with a jade at the hilt, a small gold bowl with silver carvings of ravens on the rim, several pure crystal vials, a crystal stirrer and a silver cauldron with bronze and gold carvings of ravens on the sides and there were also 2 books on Alchemy by Edward Harrison Brown.
He grinned at Alver, "Thanks," Hugging the older boy tightly, he could practically feel Chrystal's glare aimed at Alver
But before he inspect his Kit further Arian pressed a small box wrapped in black paper at him, "Before you get engrossed in Alchemy again dear brother," Everyone laughed, none but Aeriona could even being to understand the complex process of Alchemy. "Right," Aeriona grinned sheepishly, he couldn't help it that he was fascinated in the complex and very precise art. He took the paper off slowly and gazed at the beautiful pendant laying on a black velvet cushion
The chain was made of pure silver but there was a bronze chain intertwined with it, from it hung a pure silver heart shaped locket pendant, he flipped it open and smiled at the photo of the whole family smiling brightly, on the side engraved into the silver were the words, 'Forever Family,'
He smiled brightly and pulled it over his head and it rested comfortably over his chest, "It's charmed so that no one but the owner can remove it, none but you can take it off, there's also protection charms on it," Aeriona hugged Arian and kissed his cheek before Alexandriana pressed a gift at him, it was wrapped in bright gold paper and about the size of a small chest, he knew exactly what this was
"You insist on buying me clothes every birthday dear sister," Alex shrugged, she was a fashion-holic, she loved buying fashionable clothes for her whole family but never went above a set limit by either herself or fathers. This time it was a limit by their fathers, she loved to spoil Aeriona, and he would wear anything she bought him. Aeriona pealed the paper off gently and looked inside the black chest, there were several pairs of jeans in different colours and styles, a few shirts of different material and various colours, jackets and robes. "Their brilliant," She accepted the hug kiss, and promised to help him put the clothes away latter and get rid of the older ones that no longer fitter him.
Leon then brought out a thin but long case; it wasn't wrapped as he hated wrapping paper but the case a beautiful mahogany wood with gold vinyl carvings on the glossy wood. "I know you like the old blades, but they were get a bit rusted," he explained as Aeriona opened the case and smiled at the twin blades lying on red velvet
They were made of steel but had bronze, silver and gold vinyl patterns carved into them, the hilts were wrapped with bright emerald cloth that allowed for a good firm grip and the ends had a jade embedded into the hilts. The sheaths were made of mahogany as well but the inside was coated with real leather which allowed the blades to sharpen as he pulled them out, the decorations were a lush flower pattern in reds, oranges and yellows, "Their beautiful, thank you," Leon nodded and smiled when Aeriona hugged and kissed him
The Dojan pulled Aeriona to his feet and whispered in his ear, "Happy birthday, my favourite brother," He pressed the long thin package into his hands and stepped back, again there was no wrapping paper so he could see straight away what he was given. A beautiful rosewood bow with mermaid hair for the pull-string, the carvings on the wood were done in bronze and meant 'true flight' in Latin, the quiver was also made of rosewood and had the same carvings but an extra one meaning 'everlasting sky,' in Latin again. The arrow tips were made of pure steel, the wood was rosewood with the carvings on both the bow and quiver, and the feathers were from his own snowy owl Hedwig. "Their charmed to return to the quiver and re-sharp after you use them. A never ending range of arrows." He smiled and hugged Dojan then his father's stood,
"Why don't you lot go get ready," The others left with smiles and Aeriona turned to his father,
"We have two gifts for you, this," The parcel was unwrapped allowing him to see the two beautiful silver guns inside with a floral pattern on the buts, the small knives that would be easily hidden up his sleeves or in his boots and the long sharp fencing sword with the hilt wrapped in a emerald cloth and a guard that would coil elegantly around his fist
"Thanks, their beautiful," They hugged him and pulled back seriousness in their eyes
"Our other gift is optional, you don't have to do it Aeriona like Arian and Alex opted out of it but we are going to offer you the choice of being Turned," Marc said and Aeriona started in shock
"You would still age until a certain point and will have a destined Mate, maybe more than one depending on you power." Lucas smiled at Aeriona's expression, "You don't have to love, its' entirely optional like we said Arian and Alex didn't wish to be Turned, and Dojan is still deciding whether he wants to or not,"
Aeriona bit his lip, being Turned he knew was painful and not all survived the transformation, and some went mad a few days after the Turning. "Can I think about it please?" He was back to being shy and timid, even after 6 years the abuse he suffer the first 5 years of his life was ingrained into his very soul and he found it hard to overcome.
"Of course sweetheart, you take as long as you need, we offered it to Dojan a year ago and he's still trying to decide. He may not until many more years to come, but the offer will always be there." Marc reassured his youngest son and gently hugged him, he felt the flinch but didn't let go or heed his anger that even after all the years he could still be afraid of them
"Now then, go find Alex, she had what you need for the rest of the day, we'll meet you in foyer in 10 minutes," Aeriona nodded and with one last hug he left the room
"Do you think he'll go for it?" Lucas questioned as he hugged his husband around the waist, "I'm not sure, but like with Arian and Alex we won't pressure him, it is his choice and life, like always we shall be patient, now then let's go husband or the kids will leave without us,"
The two left the informal living for the foyer were their kids were all packed for the party Aeriona's friends and family had planned for him down at the beach.
Me: First chapter done, it was sort of like an intro the Corvinus Family than anything else. Next chapter we meet Aeriona's friends, he gets his Hogwarts letter and discuss with Dojan about the Turning.
Vote time:
What Creature would you like the Corvinus to be?
Vampires
Were-Creature – any animal is included
Elves – if this is your vote please say what type of elf ie. Light Elves: Wind, Forest, Water. Dark Elves: Blood, Fire, Winter. Neutral Elves: Royal, or a mix of both Light and Dark ie half wind elf half blood elf
Incubus and Succubus
Dracken's – will be able to turn into dragons and would be able to control an element, ie a Lighten Dracken will control lighten/electricity a wind Dracken would control wind ECT
Bakeneko's – These are Japanese Cat Demons, there's a wiki page if you want to check it out but my variation will be, humans that transforms into large panther like cats with two tails that vary in length (the stronger the person the longer the tail) their powers will include, control/entering dreams, manipulating/control/summoning fire from the smallest spark to the largest inferno, the powers of Necromancy (but the person has to be very, very strong to do so)
Kitsune – Fox Demons with powers of earth and plants
Nymphs – different types of nymphs ie water, fire, blood ECT depending on what type they are depends on powers
Shinigami – The Japanese Grim Reapers. They will be in charge of collecting the souls of the dead, send those who refuse to move on into the after life . . . I guess you can say like the Anime Bleach so if you want to know what I'm thinking of for this one just look up the Bleach Anime
Yosei – Japanese word for Fairy. So they'll have wings, and plant/earth powers and can bring the dead back to life if they have an extreme attachment to departed person
Me: Those are just some I chose if you have anything else let me know I'm always open to ideas, personally I'm leaning to Shinigami as I've never read a fic like that before and if none vote or it's a tie this will be the ending vote.
