Through the night, he had forgotten where he was, so when his eyes opened to the room that wasn’t his, in clothes that weren’t his and a cot that clearly wasn’t the luxurious bed he was used to, the man panicked and rose up with a gasp.

“Oh! Good morning Kuro-puu!” Came the effeminate voice that he instantly knew was the bastard Indegri Prince that he now loathed. Kurogane turned to see him half naked and a set of Priestesses, as frail as the Prince himself was, dressing the man in a gorgeous set of blue and red robes. “I was hoping you’d sleep more while I was gone. I’m afraid I must go into another religious trial and even my personal servants are not allowed. Mmm…” He thought for a moment. “I know! Kurogane, go down to the bazaar and fetch some fresh fruit for me to snack on this evening. I’ll be in the trial all day and won’t be fed.”

Kurogane frowned as he tried to resist the urge as a smile played Fai’s lips. “Kurogane…” The name was said more firmly as sapphire eyes looked straight into his own red and now it was even worse.

“Fine…” He growled and quickly left to get directions to this bazaar.

The trip wasn’t going well. Despite the mark on his chest, which was clearly a symbol of the Prince, he was denied any service because of his appearance. Blue eyes and blond hair were a symbol of purity as well as a signal of a Borealin. Dark hair and any eye color with such violent, active meanings (such as red, yellow and orange) were signs of an Okal. A close enemy and disliked upon the community. After the eighth time being denied, Kurogane could not hold his temper. He flipped over the stand and punched the owner and was soon surrounded by people shouting and trying to get to him.

“That is enough!” A stern voice rang over the crowd and there was a unified gasp. “It’s him!” “The Prince!” “It’s Fai!” “The Phoenix! He’s come to us!” Were only some of the whispers Kurogane heard as the crowd split and went down on their knees and bowed, praying as Fai passed them. He stopped before Kurogane, who remained standing.

“What the hell are you doing here?” The Okal growled and the crowd gasped.

“Exile him!”

“How dare you speak to his Highness that way?”

“I said enough!” Fai raised his voice again, though his face and body were calm, and the people silenced themselves, bowing again and praying for forgiveness. He turned away from Kurogane. “My children. You have allowed hatred to cloud your minds. For this, I am saddened. Not only this but you have insulted me. This man bears my mark, requesting food in the name of the Prince, yet you turn him down despite this fact. And I ask why. Why have you turned him down? He is only but a simple servant of the Prince, only out to gather fruit for his Master whom is slaving away in the trials, trying to earn Mother’s blessing and power. I know why. You turn him down because of the color of his hair and eyes. Because he was once an Okal. In fact he was once the Prince of Okalus, his father exiling him due to his failure to kill me. You care only about where he is from and what his people have done in the past to ours. Not what he has done himself. However we are all human, children, and Mother has taught us to welcome those in need to her arms and tend to them in their dire hour just as Mother did to our ancestors thousands of years ago. I am saddened that I must leave the temple and reveal myself in order to defend my servant because my people have strayed from the path of kindness and peace that we have embraced for so many years.” He approached the man who had been punched. “I apologize for his violence and you will be compensated.” Fai gave him a gentle smile and the man kissed his hand.

“Your forgiveness, oh holy Phoenix?”

“It is given, my son.” Fai said with the same soft smile and the man burst into tears, which just weirded Kurogane out. The blond stepped away. “A basket of a variety of fruit, if I may?” He requested and the crowd dispersed each quickly returning with a basket of their ripest picks, begging for Fai to choose theirs. In the end, he took from a woman who looked ragged and sick, giving her more than enough money for it. “Kurogane, come.” He commanded and the warrior followed.

Returning to the palace, there was chaos. The Elder Priests were in a panic at Fai’s sudden disappearance from the trial that he had been praying so fervently at. When he and Kurogane had returned, both were dragged into Judgment, Fai’s father standing before them. “You went out in public?!” He shouted, though neither Fai nor Kuro reacted much. “On top of that you just abandoned a trial just to save your servant? What has gotten into you? You’ve rejected every bride we’ve selected for you…” Kurogane whipped his head to look at Fai, who just kept looking straight ahead. “…you refuse to let the priestesses dress and undress you, unless you are not in the mood to argue; you’ve skipped out on trials…what if there had been serious consequences to what you’ve done?”

“Mother wouldn’t punish her son for such petty grievances, Father.”

“Petty?! If anything you shouldn’t be doing such rebellious acts at all! You are the Phoenix, Fai! You are the incarnate of Mother’s son!”

“If you recall from the scriptures, Father, Phoenix was not an all holy being. He was the son of Mother, yes but he was quite rebellious. If you remember, he killed his other siblings. He protected the weak, even those that were lesser than him. He honored his mother but did not wish to follow in her footsteps.”

“I know the scriptures Fai, but it is high time that you start acting like a god.”

“Act like a god? Then doesn’t that mean I don’t have to listen to you?” Fai smiled and his father looked at him, shocked and Kurogane pretty much looked the same way. “Come on Kurogane. Let’s eat the fruit we got.” He ordered as he walked back to his room.

Fai started the fire with the blue glowing thing that he had and sat on his bed, taking an apple from the fruit basket. Kurogane stared at him. “Something wrong, Kuro-rin?” He looked at him with curiosity.

At the moment, Kurogane was debating between shock, admiration and full out crushing on the man right now because the way he talked back to his father was just flat out attractive to him. Simply because he wasn’t expecting it and plus this was supposed to be a good boy going bad. But on top of that he was shocked to find out that Fai was a god reincarnated or something. The feminine giggle broke his thoughts. “You’re…a god?”

“Demigod. My real mother was the queen. She died giving birth to me.”

“How?”

“According to father, when she got pregnant she said that Phoenix came to her in a dream and mated with her. Mother was a highly dedicated Priestess and she was Mother’s favorite out of all the Priestesses. To support her claim, when I was born mother went to the Tree and gave birth to me there. The marking on my back is my birth mark. Not a tattoo. It was another sign of what I was. Not to mention the magik.” He nodded to the fire place. “Only those of great power possess it. Even father doesn’t know it.”

“Then the thing about you rejecting the suitors…why did you lie to me? It’s because you are a demigod, right?”

“Wrong.”

“Then?”

“I care not for women.”

“You like men then?” This was not unusual to Kurogane. The Okal women were violent and the rituals to impress them were often violent and deadly. Usually reproduction occurred between men and women from other countries they had raided or if a woman was desperate and allowed a man to consummate with her without the need of any sort of impression.

Fai shook his head. “I have found myself to have little desire for any human presented before me. I have a sex drive, but any thought of any person I’ve had mild interest in simply gives me no pleasure.” He shrugged. “However, Father wants me to marry and bear children that may bring out an advanced generation that inherits the Phoenix blood. I keep telling him that it would be impossible for me to mate with a woman, with the fact that I cannot get aroused at all.” Fai sighed and took a bite of the apple. “No matter. Are you alright? They didn’t hurt you did they?” He asked, in regards to the day’s events.

“No. I could have handled it.” He crossed his arms, showing that he didn’t like the fact that Fai had interfered. “If you had ‘handled’ it without me, you’d be sent to the mountains as banishment. You embarrassed me today through your actions. You’re bearing my mark, you are representing me. However, since this is only your first day within the kingdom, I won’t punish you. However, starting tomorrow I will start training you.”

“Training me?”

“Teaching you the ways of the Borealins. Hmm…actually we’ll start tonight.” Fai got up and went to Kurogane. “Come. We must cleanse you first.” He dragged Kurogane out of the room, despite the man’s protest. He pulled down who knows how many halls till he felt a rising sensation of humidity. Baths. Kurogane firmly planted his feet down.

“Fuck. No. I ain’t taking no bath with you.” His eyes narrowed and he pulled away.

“But you must! Your next lesson cannot proceed without a cleansing bath. There is a private section reserved only for me. Father had it built after my birth since I’m a demigod and everything.” Fai grabbed and tugged him again. “Kurogane. Please?” He pouted and the warrior rolled his eyes and he let him tug him along.

The baths were beyond comprehension. At least, Fai’s version was. It reminded Kurogane of the Okalus baths. It was an indoor paradise. The marbled and tiled floors of the regular palace baths were now soft green grass with patches of flowers that only grew on the southern coast of Mindiro, along with a few set of trees. A glorious statue of the Phoenix jutted out from the far wall directly across from where Kurogane stood and water rushed out of its opened beak like a waterfall into the steaming pond below. It smelled sweet. No doubt scents from herbs and flowers were added to the bath so that Fai could smell clean and his skin would be soft, despite the hot water. “For a people that only take what they need, this is rather excessive.” Kurogane scoffed.

“Trust me. When I was allowed to speak my mind I immediately told Father to rid of this bath but he insisted that ‘The Son of Mother’ should be given all that he needs and then some. Especially since I’m only a demigod, I still have to go through religious training and Father didn’t think a cleansing ritual in the normal baths was enough for me.” He shook his head and sighed. “I’m getting rid of it as soon as I take the throne.”

“Hn.” Kurogane grunted. “So how is this cleansing thing work?”

“Well…first we get naked.”

“Say wh-“ He had turned to see Fai already nude and he blushed, remembering just two nights ago the display he got from a distance. Back then he had though that the distortion from the scope and distance had made Fai look beautiful but now he knew he was sadly mistaken. Red eyes widened before he averted them. “Don’t look.” He growled as he stripped and then stepped into the water. “Alright. Now what?” He asked, eyes still averted.

“You shy, Kuro-pii? You didn’t seem so shy a few nights ago. Is it because I’m up close?” The blond giggled and stepped into the water in what was probably the most seductive way possible.

“Tch…no.”

“It can’t possibly be because you have respect for me. What else could it be?” He stated, tugging the other towards the waterfall. “This is just a typical cleansing. You will be cleaned and blessed and then dressed in white robes to symbolize your cleansing.” Fai put him under the water fall and pulled him out once he was thoroughly soaked…and pissed. “He he you look like a wet doggy Kuro-puu!” He sang.

“Isn’t this supposed to be something serious?” He barked.

“I didn’t think you would take it serious! You’re so funny!” Fai laughed as he got out of the water, swaying those damn hips of his and grabbing a bottle of something. “This is special oil for cleansing. It’s supposed to be made with the sap from the Tree.” Fai led him to a rock and made him sit on it. Kurogane made sure he covered himself with his hands. Fai remained in the water and poured the oil on his shoulders. Kurogane shivered. It was cool, despite that it was exposed to such heat and humidity.

Then, Fai started to rub it in and Kurogane had to bite back a groan. Soft fingers caressed the battle weary skin and massaged tightened muscles. He really wanted to protest the blond touching him at all but his body was telling him that he /desperately/ needed this. The only time he did speak up was when Fai was getting a little too close to his man bits. Once he was done he felt…odd? No. He felt relaxed. Something he hadn’t felt in what felt like forever. The cooling sensation of the oil relaxed him, as did the rosy mint scent it gave off. And it felt like it was absorbing all his stress away. “Come. It is time to dress.”

Fai took him back to the room, both only covered by towels. Kuro was put in Fai’s former cleansing robes which were loose enough to fit the muscled man. What was it with this kingdom and loose clothing? Anyways, Fai dressed in a far more decorative robe. It was a pale blue with a gold stripe down the center that went up and around his collar. He donned a head piece with beads of gold and sapphires. The sleeves of his robe went down past his hands. Along the sides of the center stripes were wings, similar to the style of Fai’s tattoo. He looked very holy in it.

“Come.” Fai took his hand and led him through the palace. When servants saw they hushed themselves and bowed out of his way.

“Fai, just what-“

“Shhh…” He hushed him and led him to a rather simple and small door. Any person just walking by would probably miss it and if not, would probably not care for where it led. It led to a set of stairs that led down. So, they went down till they found another simple door. The blond Prince went up to it and with his magik, he drew out his symbol on the door. There was a loud click and Fai smiled, turning to the man. “This is a place no one but me knows about. And no one but me can get to. This is a place where I can talk to Mother in private.”

AN: Not my best chapter. I tried to make it like Fai wasn't an all powerful being...:/ I have firm belief that I failed. Sorry.
