Esme didn’t bat an eye at the smouldering creature reduced to ashes. She had seen and done her fair share of destruction, bringing the colosseum almost to ruin herself during the Slaughter Ring. She cast a glance down at the ashes, crimson eyes trying to decipher what it could have been before her gaze returned to the Guiser. “Did you have a score to settle or they just had it coming?”

Reina chuckled and gave a small shrug. “A little bit of both; I don’t like rats and it was trying to go after a small lizard....so, I couldn’t let that happen.” The female said simply, then took in the other woman’s outfit smirking. “You look nice Esme--haven’t seen you in a while.” Though Reynalda hadn’t exactly been out in public other than work in a while also.

A lot had happened since the last time Reina and he saw each other. A lot more..if they hadn’t agreed to finally meet, perhaps. So tonight, one might say, Jaxon Reed was happy to be out and about..his dark, brown eyes easily spotting the dainty woman sitting in one of the tables at Lolita’s. Of course she looked as wonderful as ever, and it wasn’t too late before the Alpha was pulling back the chair to sit by her side. “..I see you dressed up. That for me?” he teased, bending down to place a soft kiss to her cheek before sitting. “Sorry If I made you wait, darling. How’s my witch been?”

“And here I thought dressing down-the less clothes the better- was more your style to see me in Lobito?” Reina teased, smile on her lips as she leaned back and returned the kiss on his on cheek, her hand running through his hair once before she pulled away. Tilting her head, her eyes searched his face as she said, “Don’t worry about it, wasn’t too long.” She paused, lifting her glass and taking a sip of her drink. “And I’m not just your witch remember?” The female joked, winking. Setting her glass down, her body turned towards him. “I see you’re looking a tad bit stressed though Jax...whats going on?”

“Reina!” Cody called from the entrance of the grove, bounding over to the witch with a grin. They were glad for a familiar face, that was for damn sure. “I’m so glad you’re here, we can do this together! What door would you pick, hm? Answers, company, or madness? I was thinking the door with the pretty flowers!” 

“Cody!” Reina replied, a smile and chuckle coming out as she greeted them. Reina turned back to the doors looking at each one of them-though her dark eyes kept drawing back to door number one: answers. The natural witch always seemed to want answers. “The pretty one?” Reina laughed shaking her head and looking back at Cody with a raised an eyebrow. “Always attracted to pretty things aren’t you.” She teased, giving them a playful wink.

It had been a long time since Reynalda spent any time with her Lobito; it wasn’t always the easiest to find time given he was now an alpha and she had been injured and healing as well as making sure to train witches when she wasn’t working. But they had finally agreed to meet-catch up. And as Reina waited patiently at the bar table, she smiled smoothly at the bartender who handed her a mixed drink. ( @thejaxon-reed​ )

“There....see, all taken care of.” Reynalda replied, dusting off her hands even if nothing coated them. She placed a soft smirk on her face as she looked at the person who appeared as she was burning the already dead creature that was in the way towards the entrance of Myre Grove; not a good sign if anyone asked her. But the creature was now ash on the floor. ( @sirenxsong​ )

Smile Reina! Her words yelled in her mind, as she moved her hair out of the slight tangle it had gotten in the top portion of her genie outfit. She was here to get back into the groove of things; surly a smile would be easy to manage. And she finally did, lifting her face to greet whoever had come closer to the Myre Grove entrance. “Hi! You don’t happen to see a blue hair tie somewhere do you?” ( @hxlfcrxzy​ )

#here we are!!!!

[reinacastro]

Reynalda hadn’t planned on attending the event this year--yet, something inside her told her to. You need to get back out there, the little voice reminded her as she finally stepped into Myre Grove-eyes entranced with what she was able to see. The natural witch continued to walk, the jingles from her genie outfit being the only current sound her ears caught. Until it wasn’t. ( @deathbeckons​ )

Linda? Freyja furrowed her eyebrows at the woman’s words. She wasn’t sure if the woman was talking to her or someone else. But there wasn’t really anyone else around. How do you know if someone is telling you the truth. She wrote out and showed to the woman. It was filled with spelling and grammatical errors. If someone actually cares about you or if they are… faking? She scribbled onto another piece of paper. And I am not Linda. I am Freyja.

Reynalda watched as the other quickly scribbled words down, but her brown eyes were scanning the other in more ways than one; something about this dark haired woman was different, similar, familiar-to those who Reina spent time with. And Reina was old enough to be able to sense when a witches powers were growing or coming through. Tilting her head and placing a hair strip behind her ear that had fallen forward, Reina spoke. “First, hello Freyja-I’m Reynalda. Second....linda is for the word “pretty” in Spanish. It is a word that can be used for endearment or casual friends.” She paused, looking down at the sheet and the rest of the words that filled it; a little chuckle came out as the female smiled and shook her head. “Thats...a bit tricky to answer Freyja-it all depends on a situation but the short answer is: it’s complicated.” Reina shrugged then, leaning back and pushing the paper back to Freyja. “How well do you know this other person? Or what have they done to give you the impression that....they would be faking it?

Cecilia thought about that idea and it made her smile. “You know what, I like that. I guess you’re right, can’t be the life of the party when you’re not having fun in the first place,” she chuckled and took another sip of her martini. She eyed the other, yet another good point. “Aren’t you full of wisdom? I’m Cecilia,” she introduced herself. “Where do you get all this insider knowledge from?” she wondered with a smirk. The other certainly looked like she could rock a stage, but then she could also just be a fan of live music for all Cecilia knew. 

Bringing the drink to her lips, Reina nodded at the others words. “Exactly dear,” She paused, a light chuckle passing through before adding, “on both accounts.” Reina was old, and with age-as cliche as it was-came wisdom. After drinking a small sip of her own, Reina set the glass down with a light smirk appearing on her lips; her legs crossed over on another as she sat straight and searched Cecilia’s face. “Cecilia, gusto en conocerte guapa.” Nice to meet you, Reina answered. “The knowledge comes with experience dear.” And age, Reynalda would have added but let her gaze look around the room again. “It’s been a while since I’ve come to visit here....it hasn’t changed far too much.”

Fire crackled, flames rose and merged with one another. Quiet-peaceful to anyone who truly watched as the flames pressed against one another. Beauty in the smallest colors of orange and yellows under a moonless night.

And Reynalda felt none of it.

The witches connection to the flames was still there, she knew it was-still felt it on her bones and each time her skin awoke the next morning. It was a hard thing to escape-a second layer to her skin was what her power could be described to by others. But Reina was having difficulty adjusting back into it.

Who wouldn’t when silveriron messed with not only ones insides but your mind as well?

It had been hundred of years since Reina had felt this way: powerless and betrayed. Betrayed by those humans who she had tried to protect and keep safe if they weren’t able to defend themselves. And powerless….because that was exactly how she had felt in the weeks after her body healed itself at a normal human pace once all the silveriron was out of her body and system. Even with Reyna being a thousand year old natural witch, who had healing powers on her side, she was still not invincible; she was still someone like all others who needed time to adjust and let her body do what it needed to.

But Reina’s body was healed now. Her powers right there if she called them.

And yet, Reina did not. The woman had returned to work after several months away to heal and still chose not to go on stage and do any performances. Her mind playing back the responsibility and power she had to keep in check, her anger as well. And then there were the memories of her past that would resurface no matter how deep she tried to keep them.

A past friend dying. Her father dying. Humans betraying those who helped—humans hurting her in the past in more ways than one. Her own mother taunting the “dark” side and making it sound more appealing than it should.

“Basta Reina…” Reynalda told herself, giving her head a small shake and standing from where she sat on the ground. Her brown gaze never left the fire before her though; eyes watching flames sway left and right, up and down, in and outwards.

Theres nothing like this, she thought, a power not worth yielding no matter which way she was tempted. A power she didn’t touch in fear of loosing control over it again as she had many times over through the years. And still….

“For you papa, only for you.”

And this statement was what drove Reynalda forward to keep herself centered: her father being the only soul reason she held on each time she felt herself slipping.

Closing her eyes, Reina inhaled deeply as her hands reached forward, over the flickering fire which barley brushing her fingertips. 

“I’m fine.”

The fire flickered higher in protest. Reina flinched, pulling her hands back, only to frown at herself and push her hands forward once more. And this time, when the female spoke, she made herself believe her words.

“I’m. Fine.”

The fire ceased, vanishing and leaving nothing but smoke behind.

And one would think, after so many years of telling herself such words, Reynalda would believe it; she did….if only for splitting moments.

__________________________

Reynalda has been in and out of work for several months. While working she sticks to the bar or attending tables. If she is on stage, she chooses to be a backup dancer or singer—she will be center stage if others wish to practice using their magic and sync it with her movements. But her own magic is still not being used during these performances.

Reina has been in and out of town as well for breaks here and there. She’s taking a little time for HERSELF versus looking over others first. But now she’s back. Slowly getting back into the swing of things. Long story short, she’s roughly at a 60% of herself versus the usual 100% 😜

“Sometimes it can be both linda; something may start off as a lie and end up becoming true-other things can be true to start with and then with time one realizes it was all a lie they kept telling themselves.” Reina paused a little and shook her head. “It’s a tricky question and observation,” she replied honestly and paused what she was doing to really look at the woman before her, glancing down at the paper that had written the message. “What is on your mind though? Or what’s got your gut so confused?”

location: anywhere ! @calamitousstarters​​

cody was absolutely exhausted. her day had been filled with her powers acting up, constantly lashing out and burning her out. the bloodwraithe was weak on their feet, and visibly struggling as she leaned against the nearest wall for support. if she could just get the the hotel castillo, or the citadel at least she could get some support; the hotel had comfier beds though. a bed sounded like heaven right now. even walking she felt her eyes growing heavy, lids trying to close and take her away into sleep but she couldn’t, not until she was somewhere safe, not until– “ah!” cody cried out, hands coming to cover her ears as a loud ringing erupted in her ears, the noise startling her powers into reacting which in turn caused nearby metal objects to collapse and crush around her. the ringing stopped, and she was on the floor gasping for breath, more shaky than before as she attempted to gain her footing again. “go away. please, go away.” the witch whined, wishing her powers gone in this hellish moment.

Reynalda shook her hair out of its tight bun that had been on top of her head for the whole evening. While the Guiser didn’t have a problem with training or performing with hair with up or down, it was nice to give her head a rest. Except, that was hardly ever the case here in Calamity, and the witch quickly realized that when her ears caught the sound of a scream and a crash near by. Reina rushed towards the person struggling as she shoved her hair back in the hair tie. “That’s not in my nature to do-and that’s not something I’m sorry for cariño.” The woman stated and took a few more steps closer, arms out to her side and eyes scanning the area quickly to make sure others weren’t around to get hurt by accident. “You have to breathe-steady your heartbeat first....” Reina started, but her own powers lifted, creating a small heat shield around herself and extending it to begin to cover both of them inside. Just incase the other’s power really begin to get out of control, Reina reassured herself.

Cecilia just finished her set at the hotel castillo and stepped down into the crowd to get herself a martini from the bar. After retrieving it, she sat down and took a sip. “So, how did I do?” she smirked. “I figured a classic 1980s rock set would be fun, but then I’m not sure how many people here were alive back then,” she chuckled, glancing around the room. Her need to collect things she found valuable meant she had tons of sheet music of her favourites ever since she started performing at clubs in the 1900s, she was going to personally make sure none of the songs ever completely died out.

It was interesting and entertaining to be the viewer instead of the performer for Reina; there was always something to see or catch-whether it was during the performance or around those who were performing. But, the natural witch enjoyed herself tonight. It was rare when she wasn’t working at R.E. or training younger witches. So tonight she would make sure it was a fun one. Taking a sip of her drink, she smirked right back and chuckled. “It was a fun set-and honestly, if you’re having fun during it, then it passes right to the crowd.” She paused, searching the crowd and added, “And it doesn’t matter who was a live back then, a good beat will always remain a good beat.”
