IA Taste of Power

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

“So this is how it’s going to go,” Yongguk stated in his gravelly voice. Misun was sitting at his feet, legs crossed, along with Daehyun and Jongup.

“One of us will show you our wings. Who is up to you. And after we’ll all show you our magic or at least our main element,” he continued.

The female blinked up at him, “Why can’t I see all of your wings and your magic?”

Himchan laughed at her tenacity. “That’s because we’re pretty sure you only made it so far into the Royal Wing due to all the personal attendants having their monthly meeting, which should be ending in about half an hour. Once that’s over and Ciel finds you aren’t where he left you, well… I’m sure you can guess. Therefore, all we have time for is what we're offering.”

“Besides,” Zelo added seeing her pout, “No one likes a selfish girl.” Misun pouted more, and the tall blonde grinned happily.

Youngjae gave him a look, before placating, “What he really means is that once you see our main elements you will already get a rough idea of what our wings look like. You see, all Faye wings are naturally designed after their main power source so just like Zelo’s wings looked like lapping waves, a person can automatically tell he’s best at controlling water. That’s also why we’ll be skipping over him when it comes to showing off our magic.”

This time Zelo pouted and he released a whiny, “Hyuuunnng!” But of course once he remembered who was sitting in front of him watching it all he immediately threw a hand over his mouth and turned a slight pink color.

“So, who do you pick?” Yongguk finally asked.

Misun bit her lip and let her eyes dart from one blonde to the next. With their matching hair and pretty looks she couldn’t help but think they looked like a boy band. With this in mind she decided to go with who she would think the leader of said boy band would be, and surprisingly, it wasn’t the King.

“You!” she pointed at Yongguk who blinked and then gave her a large, gummy smile.

“I see, you have good taste,” he joked, much to the dislike of his friends. Himchan even had the nerve to fake vomit into Youngjae’s shoulder. The latter was not impressed.

Shooing the others out of the way, the army commander stepped back and faced his back to them. He then proceeded to remove his sweat soaked shirt. “Just so you know,” he said over his shoulder, “You don’t really need to remove clothing to let your wings out. They are made of your own magic and are not actually an appendage that grows out of you. Instead they sort of…appear or form from under your shoulder blades. I’m only removing my shirt so you can see how it works.”

Misun nodded understandingly and furrowed her brow in concentration. She was trying to shake the image of slightly tanned skin and rippling muscles to just focus on the clear area just beneath his shoulder blades.

She watched as the male in front of her flexed his back briefly before a heatstroke worthy wave hit her. She flinched and covered her eyes, but then peaked past her slender fingers. In front of her, Yongguk stood tall and slightly intimidating with wings that were practically an adversary to Zelo’s.

Instead of rippling water, the female found herself staring at flickering fire that seemed to the air around them as well as the skin of their owner. Like the broad shouldered male had said, they weren’t actually attached to anything, but more so floated just off his skin. Still, they were very close to him and she couldn’t help but wonder how they didn’t burn him when she could practically feel herself sweating even being at a good distance from him.

At the center, near his shoulder blades, Yongguk’s wings were a dancing mass of yellow and orange, while they turned a deeper red toward the center, and ended in a sapphire blue at the tips. They were quite beautiful to look at just like Zelo’s, but they somehow lacked that jaw dropping, awe inspiring feeling the King’s had provided. They also seemed to be smaller. They didn’t reach far past his lower back, and just past the tip of his blonde head.

Misun figured this was due to them being different statuses and she also guessed, from the shape and color of the wings, that Yongguk’s main element was fire. She wondered what hers would look like, and if they would match even a third of the beauty the two B.A.P. members’ provided. She doubted it though, sh wasn't even sure she had any, and her status or level in the Faye Court hierarchy was nowhere near that of the males around her.

“They’re beautiful,” Misun smiled. Her smile fell slightly when he turned around, and shouldn’t help but to fan herself. “Although they are a bit…hot, and they were kind of hard to look at,” she continued.

Yongguk smiled, “That’s because they are a mini sun. Not quite as deadly as the real star, but if I really wanted….”

“You’d get yourself killed,” Youngjae deadpanned.

Misun blinked, a bit confused. “Huh?” she asked. “If he were to ever attempt to create a star’s luminosity with his wings it would most likely take all his magic, and therefore kill him,” Daehyun answered her.

“Can fairies not live without their magic?” she asked look
