3rd Pov
"Mommy! Daddy!"
Hearing the cries we see a figure open his eyes and turn to see that it is 3 in the morning looking to his right he nudges the person sleeping next to him in a gentle manner. "mph, Vias calling us."
Half-awake the figure pulls more blanket and with a tired voice speaks. *Grown* "You handle it, Stolas."
Sighing at the response the now named Stolas gets out of bed and grabs a robe. After getting ready he leaves the bedroom and heads towards the crying voice. Stopping in front of a pink door he opens it and addresses the voice that called out for him. "Via, what troubles you, my owlet."
The camera pans to the bed where a small figure lifts the blanket up revealing a small child whose features look like a humanoid owl and jumps out of the bed and run up to Stolas. "Daddy! Daddy! I had a really bad dream."
Picking up his child he hugs her gently. *Yawn* "A nightmare."
Via looks up to Stolas' face and gently sobs while telling him about her nightmare. *Sob* "I was looking all over the palace and, I couldn't find you anywhere. You weren't there!"
Via then leans forward and sobs into Stolas shoulder. Stolas gently pats the back of Vias head while calming her down. "There there Via it's okay, you're okay."
Stolas looks back into the hall and levitates a book to follow behind him as he walks over to the bed and sits down on the end of the bed with Via in his lap. "When you're scared and don't know where I am you must remember, no matter what happens to me, I will never be far away from my special little starfire."
Stolas seeing Via begin to calm down raises his hand glowing with magic and opens a portal into space. Stolas begins to sing a song to help Via fall back asleep.
"It always seems more quiet in the dark~"
"It always feels more stark~"
He then begins to fly up into the portal still holding Via in his arms as the camera pans across the stary reaches of space past a moon orbiting a sun.
"How silence grows under the moon~"
"Constellations gone so soon~"
The camera then stops on the moon as Stolas lands and begins to walk along the moons dusty surface.
"I used to think that I was Bold~"
"I used to think love would be fun~"
"Now all my stories have been told, except for one~"
As Stolas sings a bright light draws Vias attention to in front of them as she sees a burning meteor be pulled into the sun and the other planets orbiting also start to slowly get pulled into the sun.
"As the stars start to align~"
"I hope you take it as a sign~"
"That you'll be ok~"
"Everything will be ok~"
The moon they are on begins to collapse as it gets drawn closer to the collapsing sun and Stolas uses his magic to levitate the stone they are sitting on to fly a distance away as he continues singing.
"And if the seven rings collapse~"
"Although the day could be my last~"
"You will be ok~"
"When I'm gone you'll be ok~"
As they float away Via can still see the collapsing sun in the distance as the moons get dragged in and the sun explodes in a beautiful display of light.
"And when creation goes to die~"
"You can find me in the sky~"
"Upon the last day~"
"And you will be okay~"
As the explosion dies down Stolas goes back through the portal to Vias room and lays her down on the bed and pulls the blanket over her as she snuggles in and begins to leave the room. Before Stolas closes the door Via turns over and calls out in a tired voice. "Daddy."
stolas turns back to see Vias tired eye looking at him from beneath the blanket. "Yes, my little owlet?"
"Daddy, can you start teaching me magic tomorrow?" Via says as she starts to close her eyes and drift off to sleep
Stolas slowly turns back and closes the door and starts to think 'hmm Via is 8 years old now, I should start teaching her magic so she can be ready for her responsibilities when she turns 18.' coming to this conclusion he slowly walks down the hall till he arrives Infront of a large set of double doors with gold lining and opens them to reveal the library.
Walking through the rows of books he turns down one of the rows and stops in front of a bookrack that holds many books of various shades and sizes and reaches out for a book with a gentle glow. pulling the book from the rack he turns it over in his hands. "Hm, this one should be a good place to start Octavia off on the path of magic, I do wonder what her affinity for prophecies will be."
Taking the book Stolas leaves the library and heads back towards his room and goes back to sleep thinking of how to best start teaching magic to his daughter.
Time skip 9 am, Stolas Pov
Waking up I had to rub the sleep from my eyes, morning has always been hard on me because of my owl-like body, and it has only gotten worse as I have gotten older. Sitting up I hear the door to my room open, turning to see who had entered I see my imp butler Impington entering, probably to try and wake me like usual.
"Ah, I see you are already awake master Stolas, breakfast is ready for you and the young mistress seems very excited about something this morning." I hear him say as I finally get out of bed and head over to my wardrobe as he follows to grab cloths for me.
"Ha, yes I think I know what her excitement is about, I have decided to start teaching Octavia magic, we will begin after breakfast." I say as I change out of my night robe into the cloths Impington hands to me.
Impington turns his head up to meet my tired eyes. "Oh? Then I will prepare the magic training room for the lessons while you have breakfast, what supplies should I get out for you?" He asks.
Turning to the door I walk through and head towards the dining hall as the little imp follows close behind as he has since I was a small child "oh nothing much maybe just some small snacks today I will only be teaching her the basics in how to feel her own magic and maybe the beginning of how to see prophecies." He gives a small nod and heads off, probably to make some snacks and drinks for me and Octavia.
As I enter the dining room, I notice Stella and Octavia both sitting at the table, Stella with her ever present glaring eyes turn and look at me as I walk over and sit at the head of the table, and with disinterest turns back to her plate and keeps eating. I then turn to look at Octavia who is eating her breakfast as if it could disappear any second, I grab my fork and start to eat my breakfast which just so happens to be large rats.
"Daddy! Daddy! Did you think about what I asked you about last night!?" Octavia asks and taking a second to swallow the rat I had started chewing on I turn and answer her. "Well yes I spent some time this morning thinking and have come to the decision to start teaching you magic."
Looking into Octavia's eyes I could see the joy in them almost as if there were stars bouncing around in her eyes. "Really! When do we start!? Are you going to teach me to open portals, shoot flames from my hands, OH OH are you going to teach me how to turn people to stone with my eyes!"
Stella starts to frown seeing how worked up Via is, coughs and draws her attention "Octavia what have I told you about your manners at the table." She says while giving a glare to Octavia.
Octavia seeing her mother's glare sits back down and quickly finishes eating, Stella then turns back to her empty plate then gets up and leave the dining room, probably to plan another one of her get together with her friends so she can talk behind my back again. 'Ha, why does she have to be like this, I know there's no love in our marriage, but she can at least pretend for Vias sake.' I think shaking my head as I finish eating.
Turning to Octavia I finally speak to answer her earlier questions. "Via to answer your question we will begin your magic lessons as soon as we get to the training room, but no I won't be teaching you attack magic till your older for now I will teach you how to bring your magic power out and how to see prophecies."
Octavia hearing how she won't be learning strong magic right off the bat gets a disappointed look but cheers up at the word prophecy. "Really! I'm going to be able to see prophecies just like you, wow."
I smile feeling a bit of pride seeing my daughter's excitement in learning prophecy magic, seeing as how she will inherit my role and responsibilities when she is ready. "Well seeing as how we are both done with breakfast lets head to the training room and begin your lessons."
We both get up and leave the dining room and start walking to the training room with Octavia walking ahead of me bouncing off the walls with her excitement repeatedly yelling out "I'm going to learn magic! I'm going to learn magic!"

Upon reaching the training hall Stolas and Octavia enter and see a mostly empty room big enough to fit a house inside. In the middle of the room was a small desk and in front of it was a black board with some entry level books on magic sitting on a small table near the board. "Ok Octavia sit down in the chair and we can start the lesson."
After Octavia takes sits in her seat Stolas walks in front of the black board and begins telling her about the different kinds of magic. "So, to start off the lesson let's begin with the different types of magic."
"There's different types of magic? I thought all magic was the same." Octavia asked.
"Well, no there are four distinct types of magic. There is Hellborn demon magic that you and I have. There's also sinner magic, which is unique compared to other forms of magic. Then there is angelic magic which only archangels and higher have. Lastly, we have fallen magic, which is a mix between angelic and demonic magic, this came to be when King Lucifer fell from heaven." Stolas clarified after hearing Octavia's question.
"What do you mean with sinner magic being unique?"
"Well, when I say unique, I mean it in the fact that no two forms of sinner magic are the same, sure some might look the same but can act or behave very differently. A sinner's magic is based on a variety of factors, but it mostly stems from three main factors. One being how they were when they were human, the second being what sin cause them to become sinners and thirdly is how they died. A sinner's magic doesn't affect only their power but also their appearance." Stolas explains seeing the confusion on Octavia's face. "But that will be covered more later for now let's focus on demon magic where we draw our power from and more importantly get to teaching you about prophecy magic"
Time skip 3 hours
"Ok so do you understand how the magic works Octavia?" Stolas ask, while said owl nods her head completely focused on the lesson. "Daddy, am I able to try and see a prophecy, please please please." She asked while looking into his eyes with her large sparkling owl eyes.
"Ha very well I suppose seeing as how you have the basic understanding of how magic works and also the fact, I'm a master of prophecy magic we can maybe take a little look at a new prophecy." Stolas then levitates his grimoire in front of him and begins to recite the magic words. But just as he's about to finish the ritual Impington walks into the training hall.
"Master Stolas, there is a phone call from Lord Paimon, he wants an update on all the recent constellations and new prophecies from this year." Impington says. "Alright I'll be right there, give me a moment." Stolas replies then looks back down to Octavia "Ok my little owlet I have to go talk with your grandfather but as soon as I'm done, I will come back and show you a prophecy." He says as he leans down and ruffles the top of her head.
Turning around Stolas walks out, but as he was leaving, he forgot to take his grimoire with him and had left it sitting on the desk open to the page showing the ritual of prophecies and left it there with a very young and very curious owl girl.
Seeing the open grimoire Octavia slowly walks over looks at the page. 'Huh dad left his magic book, oh this spell description makes it seem like reading the spell aloud three times allows the caster to see the most current prophecy as it happens.' She then begins to read the spell aloud as she channels the little amount of magic, she has as symbols and words start to float out of the book and surround her.
"Corpus. Altus. Lumen. Oculus. Anima. Vita. Corpus. Altus. Lumen. Oculus. Anima. Vita. Corpus. Altus. Lumen. Oculus. Anima. Vita." As soon as Octavia finished the last word of the spell the door open as Stolas walks in. "I'm back, whose ready to see fate unfo- OCTAVIA! NO STOP YOUR NOT READY TO DO THE SPELL BY YOURSELF!"
As the last word leaves his beak a bright burst out from the grimoire blinding him and knocking him flat on his back "Ah, Octavia! Octavia are you ok." As the blinding light dies down Stolas opens his eyes and looks to see Octavia floating a couple feet off the ground with her eyes glowing a light pink color.
Seeing the state Octavia is in fills Stolas with dread as he gets up and runs to her floating body. "Octavia please answer me! Octavia! Impington get in here now!" Stolas yells out
Impington hearing the panic in his master's call comes in as fast as his little legs allow him to move. "What's wrong! Did something happen!" As his eyes settle on the form of Stolas cradling his arms around Octavia's body, he hears him speak.
"Impington get all the royal doctors and nurses and meet me in Octavia's room! What are you doing still standing there! Go!" Stolas yells as he picks Octavia up and begins carrying her to her room. 'Please be okay my little owlet.'
Pov switch Octavia
"Ugh, my head what happen" I shake my head to try and alleviate headache I feel. feeling the headache fade I open my eyes and look around and see that I'm no longer in the family training room but instead in what appears to be a grand throne room.
As I look around the room, I notice five figures at the other end. 'Wait, are those humans?' I ask myself. The first one seems to be a king of shorts sitting on a grand throne, even without a crown he gives of an air of regalness and quiet authority my mother would be jealous of. The throne itself seems to be unique in both its size and looks, being made of some strange black marble or stone and inlaid with probably hundreds of pounds of gold, and the throne stretches all the way to the ceiling.
The other four seem to be young adults possibly early to mid 20s with three of them side by side and the fourth sanding a couple steps in front. The one in front looks to be the leader of the four he has black hair and wearing a black leather jacket with black pants that are rolled up on the bottom and has black leather and rubber combat boots. 'This guy's kind of handsome'
I start to walk up to the group to try and get some answers but none of them seem to notice my presence. 'what's going on, am I invisible or something?' As I think this, I walk in front of the group of four and call out. "Hello, can you help me?" But I get no response.
'Huh so I can't be seen or heard, the last thing I remember doing was reading the spell from daddy's magic book and then there was a flash of light and then I ended up here. Am I viewing a prophecy?' My thoughts get interrupted from the voice of the man on the throne.
"The decreed hour is come, set forth with my blessing Prince Noctis" My eyes open in shock 'Wait this guy a prince?'
"Thank you... Your Majesty" Noctis bows in respect. "Take your leave, and go in the grace of the gods." The king says confusing me. 'Wait Gods? But isn't there only one God?' Then Noctis stops bowing. "Right." And then turns and walks away almost shoving the tall man that was standing behind him out of the way.
The other 3 turn back to the king and bow in respect and then jog to catch back up with the prince, as they walk towards the door, I feel a force pulling me to one of them but don't know which one. "Huh, is the prophecy about one of those four" as I'm wondering the force starts to pull with a even greater force till I get dragged right behind the prince as the large doors close behind us.
