EOA Secret Santa Gift
Merry Christmas and happy holidays to all!!! @eoa-secret-santa-2018
Silv @maruvian I hope you enjoy this gift to you and have a wonderful day!
Thank you to all that have made me feel welcomed into this fandom that I just joined not too long ago
Enjoy!!
It should be a surprise to no one that Queen Elena could still proudly admit that her favorite holiday and time of the year was Navidad. From the delicious smells of her Abuela’s tamales, to the vibrant poinsettias, and beautiful tinikling of silver bells, it all never ceased to take her breath away.
And this Navidad was no exception. In fact, this year was even more special. The many friends and familia that Elena had gained over the years were all gathered together on one of the castle’s more private beaches.
The Royal Sirena family lounged on the shores, munching on kelp tacos as they conversed with Val and Alanso. The Jaquins, on the other hand, had decided to show off some fancy flying work with Isabel’s new and improved sky painting invention.
“Luna, Skylar, You’re going to throw out your backs again.” Migs warned as he stood beside Elena on the ground.
“Oh lighten up Migs!” Luna yelled back as she did some large red swirls.
“Just because we’re still young at heart doesn’t mean you need to ruin our fun!” Skylar exclaimed as he did a tight and reckless barrel roll.
Migs just closed his eyes and took a deep breathe. “He’s your King Migs, he’s your King.”
Elena just chuckled and stroked back some of the agitated fur on Mig’s neck. “Don’t heal them Elena if they get hurt, or else they won’t learn their lesson.”
“As long as you take time to enjoy the party as well.” Elena pointed over her shoulder, “I’m pretty sure Dulce could use some help with the cubs.”
“You’re right,” Migs said. Of course Elena was right, this was their third litter and their largest one yet.
“Try to enjoy yourself Pookie bear.”
Migs groaned loudly, “Not you too.”
Elena smiled as Migs went over and joined his mate and rambunctious children. And once he was settled on the ground and looked a little more relaxed, Elena decided to inspect how the rest of the festivities were going.
She immediately scoped out for her Abuelo and let out a sigh of relief when she caught sight of him. Old wounds and days as a reckless young vigilante were catching up to Francisco more and more, now confining him to a wheelchair, but that didn’t mean he had lost his dramatic flare or guitar producing skills. Her daughter Bianca and nephew Damian were sitting comfortably on his lap and Rafa sat next to him with Elena's son Julian in her lap as Abuelo seemed to be regaling them with some epic tale of his youth.
Her Abuela was still in a little better shape, as she was kicking an olaball back and forth with her other daughter Ana Lucia and Isa. All their skirts were hiked up high, but Elena was so glad that she decided not to get Lulu a really expensive new Navidad dress like Bianca, lord knows how long it will be until this one was covered in dirt and torn.
Estaban was the most surprising as he was playing and wrestling around with the younger boys, with Damian’s twin Dante clinging to one leg and Naomi’s son Bay on the other. Mingo had his paws on Estaban's shoulder and was leaning heavily against his back. Elena had asked Estaban once why he decided to not marry or to adopt any children of his own, since despite his pompous exterior, he had the makings of a great father. His only response had been:
‘If I have ever had children, I would hope that would just be like you and your friends. Which is probably why I decided not to reproduce, so I will just stick to watching over and guiding your little ones instead.’
Well, it had mostly been a positive comment.
Elena was relieved that everything was going so well. She had planned many balls and festivals before, but she really wanted this to be something more simple and cozy, something to brighten all their spirits for the next year.
“Gotcha!” An arm wrapped around Elena’s waist and she was pulled into a warm and familiar chest.
Elena looked up to see the loving face of her husband and also caught sight of Naomi and Gabe as well.
All of them were together around a small fire that Naomi had not doubt built, keeping the ocean chill at bay.
“The King has caught the Queen?” Gabe said in a cheeky tone, his daughter Daniella passed out in his arms.
“Just Royal wizard and you know it,” Mateo replied. “Unless you want to start being addressed as Lord Gabe and Princess Naomi.”
Elena laughed loudly at the disgusted looks that twisted on their faces.
“Seriously though Elena, don’t be so busy that you can’t stay with us for a couple of minutes,” Naomi said as she passed her a mug of champurrado.
“I can’t really help it, I’m just so excited that we’re all together for Feliz Navidad,” Elena said as she took a long sip of the chocolatey drink. “We haven’t really been together since the Spring Love Festival.”
A strong breeze then blew in, causing Elena to shiver slightly. Mateo instantly brought her even closer to him, rubbing her arms to warm her up and nuzzling his face into her neck.
“Ugh, I see your kids haven’t stopped you two from being so gross,” Naomi said in a haughty tone as she pushed back a lock of colored hair, that was one strand of purple, dark blue, and bright blue. Something she had gotten not too long after she began her not so secret romance with her Sirena lover.
She was such a hypocrite.
Speaking of which. “How did Marzel do on your guy’s voyage to Corona? Does he finally have his sea legs?”
“For the most part,” Naomi said as she looked over her shoulder to see Marzel being utterly confused by some ornately crusted and designed piece of jewelry that Val was showing off. “He’s working mostly in the rigging now to work on his balance now that he’s not the clumsy Cabin boy anymore.”
“You would think he would’ve jumped pretty high in the ranks by now,” Elena noted.
“You know me too well Elena to know that I don’t give handouts to anyone, and he’ll have plenty of practice when Marzel, Bay and I head out to Norburg.” Naomi took another sip of her drink, “After that, we are heading back to Coronado since Marisa and Marzel want to start teaching Bay on the politics and landscape of the Kingdom.”
‘I see now,’ Elena thought to herself.
Though many had placed bets on it, Marisa had never shown any interest in marriage or even having children of her own. It didn’t mean she was any less a kind, compassionate, and wonderful Queen, but there had definitely been talk about who would take over once she served her reign. It seemed that they had made their decision on the matter and Elena was ecstatic to hear the news, though she did send her friends good fortune and strength about any challenges they may have from naysayers about having a �� Sirena heir on the throne.
“And what about you,” Naomi said as she turned to Gabe. “Are you going to be enjoy being a stay-at-home dad while your super smart science professor wife works at the academy?”
“Hardly,” Gabe said as he readjusted Dani. “Royal Preparatory Academy is a school full of other little royal students besides just my boys, with my wife, the princess, as faculty, and our Jaquin guardians.”
“Translation: Gabe is going to keep being the heroic soldier and Captain of the Guards at the school and they’ll never have to worry about safety again,” Mateo explained.
“And what about this little sweetheart?” Elena said as she motioned to her niece, “Is she going to be known by your new comrades as ‘Nina Captain’ as well?”
“She wouldn’t be my daughter if she doesn’t immediately make that first impression,” Gabe said as he kissed Dani’s forehead.
“Itchy papi,” Dani moaned in protest to Gabe’s stubble as she adjusted her head away from his face.
“And here I thought you would have finally gotten a dad haircut to go with that dad beard of yours,” Naomi jested.
“Just because you have a midlife crisis thing going on doesn’t mean you need to drag me into it,” Gabe joked as he pointed to her undercut. “And this hairstyle still goes with this facial hair. I would only need to change it if I grew a patch like Mateo.”
“Say whatever you want, but I’m proud of this,” Mateo said as he rubbed his facial hair. “Though the girl’s certainly loved pulling on it, thankfully Julian wasn’t as grabby.”
“How’s Olivia enjoying her new student?” Elena then asked, knowing full well that her son’s ‘they’re fine’ response to how his lessons were going wasn’t exactly the whole truth.
“Well,” Mateo said as he looked away from her. “He’s may have blown up the courtyard fountain the other day.”
“That sounds about right,” Elena responded, it only seemed natural that the poor fountain be abused a little by the next generation of magic users.
“So who’s taking over for you then while you’re gone then?” Naomi asked.
“Ricardo is.” Gabe then puffed up his chest slightly, “But I already told Isabel we’re not leaving until he can do everything forward, backwards, upside down, and blindfolded.”
Elena quirked up an eyebrow, she hardly believed that Isabel easily agreed to all those terms. But, she knew her sister probably had some tatic up her sleeve in case Gabe really did go too hard into soldier mode.
“Ricardo’s acting just like a new recruit,” Elena then noted, she had been quite surprised with the soldier's change in personality since he usually seemed so high and mighty. “It’s actually kind of adorable.”
“Oh is that so?” Gabe said with a sly grin.
“Do not do anything Gabe!”
“You better not Gabe,” Naomi said, “Ricardo’s going to have his hands full with the still very reckless and gravity defying Queen.”
“Hey, I can keep count how many times I actually do anything that extreme.”
“Oh boy, now there’s a drinking game for you,” Naomi said not-so-subtly to Gabe.
“And die of alcohol poisoning?” Mateo added.
“Hey!” Elena said as bumped her hip against his, “You’re supposed to be my backup. That might be considered some treasonous behavior to your Queen!”
All three of her friends though just immediately busted out into roaring laughter, not taking her threat at all seriously.
Elena of course laughed along with them, but in the middle of her giddiness, she felt some realization that stabbed into her. This may be one of the last navidads she had that felt…routine? Traditional? Whole? She wasn’t entirely sure. There were already so many changes going on, who knew what this new year would bring.
“What’s wrong?” Mateo then asked.
“Why would anything be wrong?”
“Your eyebrows are scrunching together and your nose it twitching,” Mateo said as he tapped her forehead. “You only do that when something is bothering you.”
Since when did he get so perceptive of her? Then again, she was never one to hide her emotions very well.
“It’s just weird to think that we’ve reached a point in our lives where we’ll all separate in different directions, but still come back together.” Elena looked down bashfully into her mug, “It’s just not for very long anymore.”
“But you know you’re not getting rid of me that easily,” Naomi said proudly. “Especially when you’ll need someone to take over as Supreme Commanding Master Chief Admiral once my mom steps down.”
“Are you really keeping that title?” Gabe asked.
“Well, we will have to throw Grand Council Member somewhere in there too.”
“I guess all we can really do is just to focus on the happy moments and make sure we can preserve them,” Mateo then said. “That way we can pull them out and use them as a source of power and goodness for when the bad times do come. Otherwise we’ll just keep ourselves worrying and stop moving forward.”
And with just that one sentence, Elena felt immense comfort. She smiled as she laced her fingers with his, “I believe you just earned a pardon from your Queen, Royal Wizard.”
Mateo returned her smile and leaned down to kiss her forehead.
Elena then turned towards her friends and proudly held her mug out. “To always being together.”
The other three immediately joined her in festive toast.
“To always being together.”
