* Azriel and Leda's Story
Where can I begin with Echo ... Full disclosure in the beginning, Echo is heavily inspired by Wonder Woman, which I already hinted when I made Gal Gadot the fancast for Echo in the Family aesthetic. ... I must admit that I don't really think of her that much, so it will probably not as long as Ari or Art.
Echo is an Idol to younger and older female Illyrians. She is unbeatable, powerful, compassionate and graceful. Every Illyrian or other Warrior who challenged her got defeated by her. She can bring Cassian flat on his back every time they fight. Azriel and Cassian couldn't be prouder everytime she does it. No one ever defeated her, but only after she finished the Bloodrite.
Before that Echo was like everybody else new in the camp. She didn't really knew how to fight. Sure she knew a few things because of her family, but nothing that would give her any kind of advantages. She still was really excited to start training with Ari, but also a little sad, since Aurelia wasn't with them. These three were nearly inseparable when they were together. But Echo learned that the Camps weren't as easy or "fun" as she thought they would be. Especially the belittling to females, was something Echo shocked and offended by. So Echo and Ari decided that they would show them that females are just as good or sometimes even better than Males. And they got a lot of help from Marcella - Art's Friend and future General Commander. She trained females at the Camp and took Echo and Ari directly under her wing. Marcella was the Strongest Illyrian before Echo dethroned her. And Marcella wasn't even mad about. She is actually really proud of Echo, because Echo and Ari kinda are like the little sisters she never had.
Echo trained and trained and worked really hard to get good at fighting. And she learned fast that she had an affinity to it. She was/is a quick learner when it comes to combat. She is also quick-thinking, resourceful, fast-adapting and cunning in combat and battles. And so she fast tracked to be one of the best. And after the Bloodrite she is the undisputable and undefeatable Best™.
While Echo loves fighting, especially in a fun sparing situation, she never actually actively seeks out conflicts. But she will not turn down a challenge. And she will kick your ass into the next week.
Her status as "The Undefeatable" is not the only factor that makes her the Best™, but also that she needs to use 10 Siphons to use her magic to it's full extent.
Fun story: In the beginning they only gave her 7 like her dad, and that was ok at first. But a few months later, while trying to use a lot of her magic, half of the Siphons shattered. And Az, who was training her at that moment, quickly concluded that 7 were not enough for Echo and her magic. So they quickly contacted Rhys who then contacted the Illyrians. (I don't know how they decide who gets how many or even who gives it to them, I just pretend they have a kinda like consul or something in Illyria where they decide and measure the new recruits.) Rhys gave them the info that they miscalculated Echo and she got newly measured and equipped. Her Test results positively shocked the whole Family. Since before Echo, 7 and 8 (Marcella and Nikos (Art's best friend, future Commander of the Illyrian army and Marcella's future Husband) were unheard of, but Echo brought it into a new high with 10 Siphons. Azriel and Leda (and everyone else) were so proud. Their Little Wonder just got to be the new Recordholder and Strongest in Combat and in Illyrian-Magic.
Echo is more like Azriel in personality and more like her mother in looks. Echo looks also very similar to Azriel's mother.
When she was little Echo was a shy child, especially around strangers and in public. She liked to hid behind whoever of her family she was standing closest to or she hid her face in whoever was holding her. They always needed a few minutes to coax her out of it and greet the one she was hiding from.
She also wasn't really good in making friends on her own. Echo mostly just followed Ari and Aura around and both were bubbly little girls and made friends on their own. Echo was mostly just a plus-one with almost every other friendship. (Like "i am only friends with you if you are friends with Echo as well, otherwise I wouldn't be your friend since Echo is way better than you" situation with Aura and Ari) But that didn't bother Echo at all. In Echo's mind Ari and Aura and the rest of the family were more than enough.
Over Time Echo lost her shyness, especially in the Camps. But she still is an introvert who would rather be alone or with only a few loved ones most of the time. Not she has something against being with other people for a short period of time, but if there is a choice between doing something alone or with a lot of people, Echo will choose the former.
And like Azriel, Echo is quiet and introverted, but like her mother, Echo likes fighting and being in the spotlight. Echo had nothing against it if attention is on her. She sometimes prefers it to being ignored.
Leda and Azriel are/were glad that their daughter inherited Leda's singing voice. Echo has no problem with singing in front of a lot of people, but only after she grow out of her shyness. Because when she was little, she most of time refused to speak let alone sing in front of strangers. Even singing in front of extended family, especially when all were there, was something Echo didn't really like doing. But alone with only Az and Leda, she would sing loud, boldly, a lot, sometimes out of tune and sometimes complete non sense. Making up her own songs on the go, while twirling and jumping and dancing around their apartment. She also preferred lullabies over Goodnight-stories.
Echo is also very kind and generous, she likes to help people. Especially the ones that really need it. Children love Echo and Echo loves Children, so she taught a lot of young Illyrian children in the Camps. She thaught them basic moves in Combat, how to read your opponent and their movements, how to take care of yourself without depending too much on others, basic survival skills, how treat females, different Fae races, humans, and others with respect, and most importantly confidence in themselves.
A lot little Children - Male and Female - had her as their Role model, Idol, or/and Hero. Most of them still have her as that. And they love to brag to the others, who so unfortunate not to get taught by her - for various different reasons -, that they had "The Undefeatable" Frickin Echo as their teacher.
Echo is an Icon and Inspiration for the Illyrians, especially the younger generations. The younger generations love her and sometimes "worship" her/ "fangirl" over her. Azriel is happy that the Illyrians at least treat his daughter with the respect and admiration she deserves.
I think that's all for now. If you have any questions regarding Echo or anyone else, please feel free to ask, I would love to answer them.

5 Times Echo Wanted A Big Brother ... Part 1
Hi guys! I'm done with my newest fic about Azriel's Daughter Echo and Cadan, which is supposed to be a One-shot, but Tumblr is being a bitch about it, so I decided to split it into 6 parts for this website. I'll post a new part everyday.
If you want to read the whole fic, you can find it on Ao3. The link is in my Fic Masterlist, which is linked in my blog description.
This fic is also for the anon, who requested a Fic about adult Cadan. I have played with this fic idea for a long time, but your request has finally pushed me to writing it. I hope you like it.
This (when completed) fic is my longest fic yet! And I hope you'll have as much reading it, as I did writing it.
___________________
1
Three little girls are playing together. Three little girls are twirling and running and jumping around  in colorful dress. What game they were exactly playing nobody knows. They seem to change the rules on a whim. Only a child could imagine a coherent game that includes tiny pink painted wood swords, six blankets, 15 pillows, 20 stuffed animal toys, two pack of Card Games, Three flags on sticks, 12 tiaras, a bed, chalk, two buckets, two tiny tables, three sets of children tea sets and for whatever reason one broom. Whatever they were playing, the three little girls are having the time of their life, screaming a war cry, jumping from the bed onto the heap of pillows they just laid out before climbing on top of the bed.
The first to jump down is the oldest of the three,  being over 5 years old. Her Raven black hair is in a very messy braid, some of her hair already escaped and falls wildy into her face. On her head sits slightly crooked a violet tiara. Her face is flushed from playing and screaming. The blush makes her freckles across her cheeks and nose stand out. Her blue-grey eyes are sparkling like stars on a clear night sky. She was also the palest of the three. Matching the tiara, she is wearing a violet dress. Two playing cards stick out from her dress pockets. Her dark bat-like wings are tucked behind her tightly. She is barefoot. Her hands are covered in blue chalk, as is her forehead and her dress. She lands with a soft thump in the mountains of pillows, nearly being completely swallowed by them. With a laugh she frees herself from it and races back to the other side of the bed to climb on top again.
The second to jump was also the second oldest, having just turned 5 years old two weeks ago. She also had a braid as the girl before her, but it came apart not that long ago. Her black hair is tucked behind her ears, keeping it out of her face. The green tiara is almost falling off her head. Her amber brown eyes are alight with joy. Her chubby cheeks are red. The golden skin nearly glowing. To keep up the trend, her green dress matches her tiara, but instead of cards, a tiny teddy bear is peaking out her pocket. Her wings, the same as the first one's, are folded neatly. She is wearing two different colored socks, one light blue, one dark pink. Her hands seem to be clean, but her dress has white chalk stains.
She jumps and lands on her back with a delighted laugh, before she rolls down the pillow mountain. Jumping back up, she runs around her bed to climb up again. Yes, the girls are certainly playing in her room.
The last and the youngest one, is only 4 years and 6 months old. And she looks the most different from the other two. Her gold brown hair is braided into five different braids that fall messily around her head and face. Her blue tiara fell off some time again. Now her hair is covered in different chalk colors. As was half her face. Her almost bronze colored skin makes the chalk even more stand out. Her fawn brown eyes shine like sunshine and she smiles a big and toothy grin. Her blue dress was also covered in chalk. As are her hands and barefoot feet. She looks like she fell into a pool of chalk dust and rolled around in it. She could make clouds by moving. Her pockets seem to contain two play tea cups and chalks.
She jumps with a scream and lands with a chalk cloud and a giggle. She tries to get out of the pillow mountain before she was completely submerged.  After she managed to crawl out of it with the encouragement of the other two, she just continues crawled around the bed while laughing.
This goes on for two more rounds, when they are interrupted. “Girls, it's late! Could you please clean up before you two get picked up?” Asks a beautiful winged female in the doorway, looking over the chaos the girls have created. The girls make a sound of disappointed.
“Mom, can't we play just a little longer, please?” Pleads the second one with puppy-eyes. “Yes, please?” The other two follow suit. “I'm sorry, Echo, girls, but I have already let you play way longer than usual and this is a mess.” The girls make a grunt in disappointment, but say a small, but defeated fine. But Echo's mother wasn't done. “Arianna, Aurelia, wash of the chalk first.” The girls look down on themselves and than internally agree that yes that should be off before they clean up. “Where did you even get that? We don't own chalk.” “I brought it with me. But now it seem it gone up in dust and clouds of dust.” Aurelia, the chalk covered child admitted with a solemn smile at nothing in particular.
“Move, Aura we still need to wash it off, before we can help Echo!” Arianna, the oldest, demands. She pushes Aura slightly into the direction of the bathroom and while pointing at Echo, who already picks the tea sets back together where they were strewn around In-between stuffed animals and blankets. Ari takes Aura's hand impatiently and strings her behind her, before Aura could move herself. Giggling at being dragged forward, Aura starts skipping to catch up with Ari. Echo meanwhile finds Aura's tiara and places it on her dresser. With a fond smile, Leda, the only grown up in the house at the moment, leaves her daughter and her nieces to their own chaos.
After ten minutes and some shouting and sounds of chaos, which don't sound promising, the doorbell rings. At the sound the girls let out a shriek and the sounds out of Echo's room get more fanatic and chaotic. Shaking her head with a smile, Leda opens the door to reveal three fae. The first through the door and greeting and hugging his Auntie Leda, is Artemas, a Raven haired and lanky fae and Arianna's older brother. The red haired and rather tall female, Hemera, Aurelia's oldest sister, greets and hugs Leda next. The last one, a black haired and buff Half-Illyrian, Cadan, her nephew and the other's cousin, copies Art and Hemy.
“Girls, your pickups are here!” Leda shouts and ushers her older niece and nephews, into the living room.
“We're almost done!” Ari screams back, immediately. “You have five minutes, Ari! Dinner at home is already ready. So move your butts!” Art shouts back. “You said butts!” Aura's giggles can be heard in the living room. “We also don't have that much time, Aura! Mom said dinner's almost ready and grandpa is visiting for dinner.” Hemera hollers back. “We're almost done!” Echo shouts calmly back.
“You want anything to drink, dears?” Leda asks already standing up. “No need Aunt Le, we're fine.” Cadan says and tugs her down to sit again. It wasn't the biggest surprise to see Cadan here, even if he didn't have anyone to pick up. He loves his younger cousins, and was most probably just hanging out with Hemy and Art before coming here. And just decided to go with them, either due to boredom, to hang out with his best friends more, or to see his younger cousins.
He is always welcome in their home, Leda is just happy to see him again.
As they wait for the girls to be done cleaning up, the trio and Leda just talked about trivial things and updates in their personal and familial lifes. At the same time they also partly listen to the sounds of madness from Echo's room.
“I think we're done!” Echo says as she stands in from of her closed door, looking over her room. Ari and Aura standing beside her, nodding and looking rather proud. The room does infact look pretty clean. Here and there are still some things out of place, but otherwise the room looks vastly different from a few minutes before. Both Ari and Aura already had their bags and shoes in hand. Aura's tiara has found its way back on her head. Ari's braid had been so loose that she needed to open it up and put her hair into a ponytail.
Echo opens the door and let's a storming Ari and a skipping Aura out before she follows them to the living room. As they march, if you can call it marching with one charging, one skipping and one jogging, into the living room, the adults in the room stood. Because they know what's comes next.
The Archeron-Night greeting ritual.
A family tradition they adore.
A spiel to say hello and goodbye.
A thing they always do. And always will do.
And the spiel begins.
Ari immediately charges to Hemera and jumps into her open and waiting arms. Ari screams a delighted “Hi, Little Sun!” while Hemy in return mumbles a “Hi, Little Night!” into Ari's hair, avoiding the tiara.
Aura at the same time bounces into Cadan's outstretched arms with a sunny “Hilla, Little Hero!”. Cad laughs out a “Hilla, Sunshine!”, as Aura knocks into him.
Echo, a moment behind Aura, jumps into Art, his arms coming only around her as she makes contact with him. She greets him with a merry “Hi, Little Moon!”. Art purrs out a content “Hi, Little Wonder!” against her temple.
They all hug for a few seconds, before the girls are released and already jumping to the next person.
The spiel continues.
This time Ari lands in Cadan's arms, Aura in Art's and Echo in Hemy's. Greetings are exchanged again and the hugs last a little.
And the spiel is finished for now.
Ari finally jumps into her older brother’s arms and greets him the same as the others. Aura also is now in her oldest sister's arms and greets her in kind. Echo on the other hand lands into arms of one of her only three male cousins, Cadan. The only other male cousin she has, beside Art, is Morpheus, Aunt Mor's son. But Echo likes Cadan the best from her male cousins, even if Art is a good challenger for the top spot.
“Why do you all stink like chalk?” Hemy asks as she sniffs Aura and the air. “Because we played with chalk!” Aura begins merrily. “It got a little out of hand” Echo continues a little apologetic. “Aura was practically dosed in it!” Ari finishes their statement, swinging her feet. “I made pretty chalk dust clouds!” Aura tells them in a wondrous tone, as if she is imagine them in her head.
“Oh Sunshine, you'll definitely need to take a bath before dinner!” Hemera begins as Aura cheers at the mention of bathing. She does like bathing time. A lot. “A quick one, because Mom would never let you to the table like that.” Aura just hums and tilts her head.
“I don't need a bath right? Art?” Ari suddenly asks loudly, drawing the attention to her. Art sniffs and looks at her closely. “I don't think so, Ari. I think a change of clothes should do,” Art shrugs “Now say goodbye to Auntie Leda, Hemy and Cad, Echo and Aura, in that order.” And he sets her down, vanishing her bag and shoes.
At this Echo realizes, she is still in Cadan's warm and strong embrace. She had been in the same height as her friends and was not looking up to them as she most of the time would.
Looking up at them was not one of Echo's favorite things to do. It reminded her of something she doesn't like to think about. That she is an only child and is envious of Ari and Aura having older siblings. By the mother she would love to have an older sibling, she dreams of it sometimes, what it would be like to have an older brother or sister. A big brother like Artemas or Cadan. That would be the dream. A dream that will never come true.
Echo is suddenly startled out of her envious thinking, as Cadan sets her down too, to say goodbye to the others.
And the whole spiel begins again.
Almost everybody hugs and says goodbye to almost everybody. Echo has a feeling she misses a small detail in the goodbye ritual of their family.
After the ritual was done, the two older faes with their little sisters in their arms move to the door, they are trailered by the rest. Finally goodbyes are said as Art and Hemy vanish into nothingness as the crossed the lawn.
Looking a little bit at where she last saw her cousins, Echo sighs, she needs to finish cleaning up her room. Her mother would not be that happy with the way it is right now. She turns and runs right into Cadan's leg.
Startled and baffled she looks up, eyes wide, mouth open in surprise and disbelief. Cadan raises both eyebrows at her. He can't raise one eyebrow.
“What are you still doing here?” Echo knows that the question is rude. But that's the only question that her brain is able to release. She hears her mother beginning of a reprimand, but Cadan throws his head back and laughs. Her mother sighs and smiles softly at Cadan and than goes back into the house.
“Because, Little Wonder, I was invited to dinner and I accepted.” Cadan tells her with a big grin, not acknowledging his Aunt Le's retreat. “And I didn't really had anything else to do today.”
Echo blinks at him and tilts her head with a frown. “Don’t you have Family dinner with Uncle Cass and Aunt Nesta?”
“Ha No, they have date night tonight. I would rather be anywhere but there.” He ends his statement with a shudder. Then he turns and asks into the house. “Speaking of dinner, can I help you with that, Aunt Le?”
“Don't be silly, Little Hero, you're a complete guest tonight. But if you really want to help, than help Echo finish cleaning up her room.” Her mother voice is carried over from the kitchen. The smell of roasted chicken and potatoes and spices is finally reaching the open doorway. Cadan chuckles and than bends down to pick Echo up again.
“Now Echo shall we start our quest of defeating the enemy in your room to report a victorious ending on our side to the Lady of the house?”
Echo starts laughing but nods as Cadan carries her into the house, letting the door close behind him, and into her room.
_______
And that's a wrap for the first part. Five more to go.
I hope you all like it. Feedback is always welcome and appreciated.
If you have any questions or requests, please feel free to ask me. I would love to answer them.

5 Times Echo Wanted A Big Brother... Part 3
Hey, what's up, guys?? I hope you like some Hemera, Cadan, Artemas, Arianna, Echo and Aurelia play time together.
_____________
Five days after Hemera's Birthday, it was again Hemy's, Cad's and Art's turn to look after Ari, Echo and Aura. Since it is a beautiful sunny day in the Day Court, they are outside. Because that's where they are. In a park near a library in Day. The older trio was actually in the library, before the younger trio was dropped there unceremoniously before them by Aunt Feyre. So the older trio decided that being outside with the three little girls would be the  smartest move. Because Ari, Echo and Aura love playing outside. A lot actually.
Now the three girls are playing a game of tag, with a tree as a safe point. Ari is it, chasing Echo around. With Aura being gigglingly chased here and there, when Echo runs too close to Aura. But both keep evading Ari, which starts to frustrate her.
Meanwhile Hemera, Cadan and Artemas are sitting on a bench, watching the little girls play. Art slouches lazily, hands in his pockets. His raven black is a mess, sticking in wild directions. A stake of books sits beside him. On his other side sits Cadan. But unlike Art, Cad isn't slouching, just leaning back, arms crossed over his chest. He watches the girls with a soft smile. Beside Cadan, Hemera has made herself comfortable, leaning completely against Cadan. Head on his shoulder. She seems to be napping. Her braided fiery red hair falls over her shoulder. Besides her stands the bag Aunt Feyre has left them with. Just a bag with snacks, a change of clothes for all three girls, something to drink, some outside games, and other things that they could need.
To her misfortune, Echo is chasing Aura to get Ari to chase Aura, to stop Ari from chasing her. But Aura keeps her distance from her and Ari is still hot in her heels. Echo is slowly losing her breath. She needs to have a break and some air in her lungs. Making a critical choice, Echo suddenly turns and rushes past Ari, narrowingly avoiding the hand reaching out to touch her. She makes a mad dash to the safe point. And the second she is close to it, to her saving grace, she makes a hard break to suddenly slow down and forcefully stop against the tree, hugging it. She presses her forehead against the bark, eyes closed, and heaves.
Air, fresh and wonderful air, fills her lungs. She takes deep glups of it. Expanding her lungs and chest.
Suddenly the tree shakes as someone threw themselves against it. Startled Echo opens her eye and sees Aura on the other side also heaving, clinging desperately to the tree. Aura's eyes are on the now prowling Ari, who circles the tree. Looking at them like a predator watches his prey, hungry and ready to strike. Echo tightens her hold on the tree, pressing herself against it. Ari can look a little scary sometimes.
Ari circles them again, before she pivots in one foot and walks away from them. To create an illusion of distance. An illusion of a chance to escape her. But neither Aura nor Echo are fooled. They know Ari would be on them the second they aren't touching the tree anymore. The tree might be a safe point, but if Ari's it, than that safe point is a trap for certain transfer of the it title.
Echo doesn't want to let go of the tree just yet, nor does she wants to be it right now. And Aura seems to share her sentiment. But Ari is getting bored and impatient, but still watchful towards them. Than Arianna straightens and she smiles mischievously to them. Then winks before pivoting around, prowling to the older trio on the bench. She stops in front of Art. Art looks at her questioningly, raising one eyebrow, but before he could say anything, Ari makes her move. She taps his knee and shouts “You're it!” Before turning and running away.
Art blinks once. In that moment, Cadan already shooted up from the bench and races in the opposite direction of Ari. Hemera apparently still asleep smacks into the bench sideways, waking her up on impact. “What?” She murmurs while rubbing one eye. Annoyed at her rude awakening. “Art is it!” Ari screams, as Art is still baffled beside Hemy. Without hesitation, Hemy takes off from the bench. Hemy's hasty departure wakes Art out of his stupor. Narrowing his eyes, Artemas stands slowly, his eyes never leaving Ari. Echo makes a wince as Ari breaths out a “Uh Oh”. “She is in trouble!” Aura exclaims with what only can be described as a sad giggle.
Faster than Echo expected, Art starts chasing Ari, who starts screaming in either delight or some kind of fear. Maybe both. Echo honestly had no clue.
The chase between Art and Ari is pretty impressive. Ari climbs over benches, bridges, stones. She rounds several trees multiple times. But she never lost Art. In fact the distance between them hasn't change once since Art started chasing his little sister.
But even Ari's stamina needed to run out sooner or later. By the looks of it, it is sooner, as she is already making a beeline for the save point. Which  Aura and Echo hasn't stopped touching.
Ari literally slams into the tree so hard it shakes, her breathing heavy. Turning her head she glares at Art, who wasn't even a little out of breath, despite chasing Ari around for almost five minutes straight. He is just pouting at her and them, before he turns his head and smiles innocently at Cadan and Hemera. Both let out a “oh crap!” before making a sprint in two different directions. “Oh no, you don't!” Art warns and takes off after them. The girls sigh in relief and than laugh at the funny looking behavior of the grown ups chasing each other.
The game goes on for about 30 more minutes, before the girls collapse against each other on the grass, demanding water and snacks. Well, Echo asked nicely, while Ari demanded. Aura just nodded to both of their statements. Cadan lets out a laugh as Art summons the bag to them. Hemera is already sitting in the grass beside them when Cadan and Artemas finally also sit down. Handing them the bottles of water, Art puts the bag beside him and summons to books to Hemera. The girls take to bottles greedily with a thanks and start drinking their fills.
“We should go to our home, maybe play a board game or take a nap?” Hemera suggests with a yawn. She apparently didn't sleep that much the last couple of days. Which is nothing new for Hemera, Cadan or Artemas, they like to stay up very very late. “Sounds like a good idea!” Art agrees and yawns as well. Cadan nods and yawns too. Yawns are contagious. Echo herself yawns at the sight and she isn't really that tired. Ok maybe a little. After all that running, all she wants to do is lay down and relax. A nap does sound kind of nice. Aura yawns and seems to agree with her, but Ari despite her also yawning, doesn't seem to agree. Ari always has so much energy. Echo has no idea where she stores that much in her body. Or if she ever stops moving at all.
But Ari also knows that she is on the losing side of things, she makes her demands. “We walk there, not winnow!” She glares at Art, he glaring right back. Before he rolls his eyes and agrees to it. But Ari isn't done.
“And you'll carry me in your shoulders!”
“What?!”
“I want to be carried on shoulders too, Hemy!” Aura exclaims in a sunny tone. Hemy and Art look at each other and than shrug and roll their eyes. “Fine.” They agree simultaneously.
Echo just shrugs to herself. She has nothing against walking. And maybe she can hold Cadan's hand again. That should be fun too. A welcome distraction from having to looking up to her best friends. Envy and sadness start taking hold of her heart. No. She isn't sad about this. Her eyes begin to water a little. No, she doesn't want to cry about something so unchangeable. She blinks her incoming tears away. Her hands are in tiny fists, white knuckled, clutching her shorts.
Echo barely registers the standing up of the the others and the picking up of her best friends. Suddenly she is jolted out of her sadness, she makes a surprised sound of “Ahh!”, as two big hands had picked her up and placed her in broad shoulders.
Cadan had placed her on his shoulders. Echo  blinks and grabs Cad's head and hair to steady herself. “Why?” She asks confused. She didn't ask him to do that? Why would he do that?
“Sorry, I just assumed you wanted be carried around on shoulders too, Little Wonder. But if you don't, can set you down again.” There is an undertone of disappointed in Cadan's voice. As if he would be sad if he didn't get to carry her around.
Cadan wants to carry her around. Echo couldn't believe it, but the evidence is right there. And it couldn't have made her happier.
“No, I want to, I want to. Thanks, Little Hero!” Echo says and leans against his head. Cadan walks up to Art and Hemy, who already walked ahead of them. Now waiting for them, looking curiously at them. Ari and Aura smile and wave from atop their older siblings at Echo, who smiles brightly and waves back.
Artemas and Hemera just gave Cadan knowing but soft smiles. Who blushed a little and looked away.
The older trio made their merry way to Hemera's and Aurelia's home, with the three girls on their shoulders.

I hope you like it.
If you have any questions feel free to ask me. I would love to answer them.

5 Times Echo Wanted A Big Brother... Part 7
Finale!!!!!
It's done finally!!! I hope this is cute!
________________
The next day comes faster than Echo hoped. But now she was standing in Ari's bedroom, as they prepare to go downstairs to the older trio. All three girls are shaking, but for different reasons. Ari in excitement, Aura in sunny merriment, Echo in nervousness and anxiety. They are all dressed in pretty dresses matching their cards, to make the whole thing a lot more fancy and official.
“Let’s go!” Ari announces to Aura, who lets out a cheerful agreement, and Echo, who just swallows. As quietly as they could manage they make their way downstairs, halting a few places before the living room. Ari looks at Echo again and than sighs and screams. “ART! Can you help us with something for a second?”
“Sure, with what?”
“Kitchen I am not telling you! And move your butt!” Ari turns and goes into the kitchen, Aura and Echo just look at each other, shrug and follow their best friend.
A few seconds later, Art steps into the kitchen, frowning at them. Ari glares at him, Art glares back, but smiles softly at her.
“So I put up the silencing spell, what's wrong?” Art asks sitting down on a counter. Aura and Echo just shrug, Ari is the one that called him, she should also have the answer. And indeed she answers.
“We are about to give you your invitation to our tea party!” Ari starts, tapping her foot. “And the theme is “older siblings”. Can you see the problem?”
“You feel guilty that you'll not invite Cadan and now you want me to make him go but without hurting his feelings?” Art frowns, shrugs.
“No!” Aura and Ari scream at the same time. Echo is shaking her head, her throat is closed up. Ari continues, “Of course, Cadan is invited!” Art’s frown transforms into a full on grin, his sparkling eyes focus to Echo, at her card in her hand. Echo blushes. “Oh, How can I help you with that?”
Echo keeps quiet, stepping on the spot. Art smile can only mean something good, right? She hopes so.
“Just answer a question.” Ari tells him, crossing her arms, tapping her foot. She is really getting impatient. “I sure can do that. I love answering questions. Shoot!”
“Would Cadan like to be Echo's big brother?”
Art throws his head back and laughs. But before Echo could feel hurt and humiliated by it, Art stops and looks at her with a big smile.
“I think you'll have to ask him that, but I'll promise you, Little Wonder, you'll like the answer. So chin up.” Echo nods, smiling back. Hope rising in her. Maybe this will end up going great for her.
“Now that that's out of the way, let's get going!” Ari declares and charges out of the kitchen into the living room, Aura skipping after her, smiling encouragingly at Echo. Echo can Ari hear announcing their Tea party invitation tradition.
But Echo is frozen in her spot. “Art?” She asks softly. “Yes, Echo?” Art asks kneeling in front of her, tucking her hair behind her ear. Strangely Echo feels her hair tugged and moving, but she is ignores it out of nervousness. “Can you make the card invisible until I ask him?” Echo swallows. “Sure!” Art says, stands and takes her hand. “And for the record, you asked me to braid your hair, okay?” Echo blinks and touches her hair. Indeed, her hair is in a braid. “Okay.”
“Echo! Artemas!” Ari screams from the living room.
“Patience, Little Night, patience.” Art tells her as he and Echo enter the living room. Nobody is asking why they took so long, they just look at Echo's hair knowing she didn't have a braid before and just assumed that she asked Art to braid it. Because Art is really good at braiding.
Hemera and Cadan are already sitting on the couch. Aura standing before Hemera in the middle. Ari is standing before the empty spot beside Hemera. And that's where Art slouches down. Ari gave him a glare, Art chuckles and then sits straighter, still slightly slouching. Meanwhile Echo come to stop in front of Cadan who gave her a smile. Echo didn't really know what to do so she looked away, to Ari waiting for her to begin.
Ari straightens and begins with a voice of importance. “Our next Tea Party is this weekend. And the theme Aura chose is “Older Siblings”.” Cadan immediately deflates, starting to slouch, smile thin and forced. He starts to pick on the pillow beside him, completely missing the big eyes Echo is giving him. Hope and excitement is blooming in her chest. Meanwhile Ari continues after a dramatic pause, steps forward and holds up the card to her older brother.
“As my older brother, I officially invite you to our Tea Party!” Art bows his head and takes the card, immediately opening the envelope, opening the card. Eyes wandering over it as he reads the card. “Ah, the dress code is as usual!” He turns to Hemera and Cadan with a big mischievous smile. “You two want to go dress shopping tomorrow? I definitely need a new dress for this party.” Cadan just grunts, not looking up, while Hemera agrees, eyes full of questions, her eyebrows in a frown. But Art just grins at her and than looks rather obviously at Echo's seemingly empty hand. Hemera follows his line of vision and her eyes widen, but starts grinning lovingly at Echo.
“I accept the invitation, I'll look forward to it, Little Night!” Art tells his little sister, who puffs her chest up in happiness. Aura steps up as Ari steps back.
“As my oldest and biggest sister, I officially invite you to our Tea Party.” Aura strikes out her card to Hemera, jumping in one place. “I am honoured, Sunshine!” Hemy takes the card, opens it and praises Aura for her drawings. Aura beams and spins. “I'll give Hely her invitation later.” “I'm sure she will accept too, Sunshine!” Hemy tells her, folding the card back together, laying it on her lap.
Echo swallows as the room grows silence, all eyes except for Cadan's are on her. All grinning at her. Cadan on the other hand is still picking on the pillow lost in his head. Echo starts stepping on the spot and biting her inner cheek. Mother, please let it end like she hopes it would. Please.
After a full minute of silence, Cadan seems to realize that the girls haven't left the room yet and looks up. He is greeted with everybody grinning at a nervous looking Echo. Cadan frowns, but then Echo closes her eyes for a brief moment, gathers her courage and steps forward. She holds the card in front of Cadan who looks almost owlishly at it.
“As my older brother, I invite you to our Tea Party.” Echo ends up almost whispering, looking away from Cadan. Cadan is gaping at Echo, completely frozen in disbelief, tears gathering in his eyes. Echo squirms when Cadan still hasn't anything and adds hastily. “If you want to be. My older brother, that is.” Echo's arm starts to shake, but just as she wants to take it back and run out of the room, she feels strong arms wrapping around her and crushing her against a hard chest. The smell of leather and bergamot surrounds her. Cadan nuzzles her hair. He pulls back a little to look at her. A grin splitting his face in half, a tear or two are running down his face.
“I would love nothing more than to have you as a little sister, Echo.” He tells her, pressing a kiss to her forehead. “Really?” Echo asks hopeful. Cadan chuckles. “Absolutely, Little Wonder. I would be happy to be your big brother.” Echo couldn't say anything, words failing her, she is so relieved and happy. The only thing she can do and wants to do it hug Cadan, so she does just that.
“Finally!” Ari exclaims as the others clap and celebrate. She and Aura high five each other for their succeeded plan. Art and Hemy beam at the new pair of brother and sister.
“You knew?” Cadan raises both brows.
“We planned it!” Ari and Aura explain proudly.
“I found out, when they called me for help.” Art tells him with a shrug and smile.
“I put it together when Art asked you to join him to dress shopping!” Hemera states proudly.
“How?” Cadan asks, feeling like he missed something rather obvious.
“You really think Art would bring you to dress shopping for a tea party you're not invited to, with the theme older siblings, like it wouldn't make you absolutely miserable? I'm mean he likes to tease us and share his suffering in shopping with us, but he isn't that cruel.” Hemy rolls her eyes, sounding a little condescending.
“Yeah, I'm not that cruel!” Art chirps in. “Now be good big brother and open your card and accept the damn invitation before Ari does it for you.”
Indeed Ari looks like she is almost exploding out of impatience. Though she is holding back, she didn't want to ruin the moment for Echo. Cadan laughs and takes the card, sits Echo down on his lap and opens the card. “This is a very beautiful card, Echo. Thanks you!” He says into her hair. His eyes never leaving the card as he reads through it. “And I accept. I can't wait for the party!” Echo cheers and gives Cad a kiss on his cheek, beaming like the sun herself.
Nothing can ruin her mood today! She has an older brother. Better yet, Cadan is her older brother! Silly dreams can come true after all
___________
And that's a wrap guys! It's finally over and done!
If you have any questions or requests feel free to ask. I would love to answer them.

5 Times Echo Wanted A Big Brother... Part 5
Here is part 5.
____________
“And the reading lesson starts now!” Art announces into Aura's bedroom to three small girls playing with their dolls. But not in a “house” way, more of a “three warrior princesses saving themselves and the world while taking over kingdoms and defeating monsters and demons” way.
Certainly they appear to be in a battle between them and a army of demons, if their shouts are anything to go by.
“NO!” Ari lets out horrified scream. “Reading is boring!” Art lets out a shocked and betrayed sound, pretending to faint into Cadan behind him. Cadan rolls his eyes and steps aside so Art just falls to the ground.
“My own sister! My own beloved little sister is saying such horrible words! My heart! My sanity! Cadan, Hemera, please tell I just misheard her, because my own flesh and blood could never say something so horrifyingly wrong!”
Cad and Hemy just roll their eyes, used to Art's dramatics. Art who still lays on the floor, face buried in his hands as he makes noises of despair and crying. Aura and Echo just giggle at the sight of their older cousin, and are already cleaning up their mess. Ari on the other hand stands with red cheeks, hands fisted into her shirt as she glares at her older brother. She also seems to be shaking in anger. But then she stomps over to him and kicks his leg.
“Artemas! Stop it!” She shouts at him, kicking him again. But before she could kick him and shout at him again, both suddenly vanish into wind and nothingness. Then Echo could hear from the living room of Aunt Elain's and Uncle Lucien's house, a scream-laughing Ari, who was most probably being tickled into taking back her words by Art.
Being done with cleaning up Aura's room as moderately as possible. Aura's room is always on some level messy. Aura skips out if her room, Echo hot on her heels, they are actually excited for the reading lessons, unlike Ari, who has no patience for them and generally finds them boring.
As they walk into the living room they come into the view of a upside down hanging and heaving  Ari, hold by one feet by Art. Ari apparently has already apologized and isn't tickled anymore.
“We should start immediately, so you three can go back to playing.” Cadan tells them, while sitting down at the table, sorting the books on it. They already know the alphabet, but they still need to learn how to read correctly. Artemas agreeing with his best friend, has put down Arianna opposite of Cad, slouching down beside her. Hemera and Aurelia have seated themselves between Art and Cad. Echo makes a beeline to Cad and sits down beside him.
“What book do you want to read, Little Wonder?” Cadab asks her as he pushes the books to her.
She always gets to choose first on what she wants to read. And she is actually the only one of the three that has this privilege. Ari doesn't care about reading, so she lets her brother choose and Aura just closes her eyes and reads the first thing she puts her hands on.
Echo looks over the books, all with colorful covers with animals, knights, faes, princesses, witches, children and dragons on them. All easy and thin books for younglings her age. Some are only a handful pages long. But which book sounds the most interesting? Than a green book with what she can identify as a rabbit and a turtle.
“This one!” Echo tells Cad and picks the book up.
“Ah, The Tortoise and the Hare. It's a great choice, Echo!” Cad nods, pushing the books to Aura. Who closes her eyes, hums and waves her hand over the books. Than she stops and the hand lands on a yellow book depicting what Echo would describe as a bean, a straw and a coal with a arms and a face on them.
“You always pick the weirdest stories, Sunshine.” Hemy tells her, picking up the book and pushing the rest to Art. “What's it called?” Aura giggles at the book, curiosity gleaming in her eyes.
“The Straw, the Coal and the Bean.”
“Really? That a funny title of a fairy tale.” Aura giggles. “I couldn't agree more, Aura.”
“Now that Aura choose her as usual weird book, Ari, do you want to choose or should I?” Art looks at his sister, who lays face down half on the table, arms outstretched, palms hitting the surface of the table in a uncoordinated beat. Ari lets out a muffled “you”. Art just shrugs. “Whatever you say, Little Night.”
Sitting up, Art looks over the books. Picks one. Echo could only see the back of the blue book. It was a little thicker than her’s and Aura's.
“The Emperor's New Clothes. How does that sound?” He asks turning to the now sitting up properly Ari. “Boring” she tells him honestly.
Art rolls his eyes and pushes the rest of the books into the middle of the table.
“So let's get started!” Cadan tells the little Illyrian next to him, opening the book in front of her. “Should I read you the sentence first and than you repeat it or do you want to try to read it own your own first?” Echo thinks about it. The former option she had done already, often enough in her opinion. She also really wants to try for herself first.
“I try on my own first!”
“Good,” Cadan ruffles her hair and scoots closer to her, “then let's begin, Little Wonder!”
“The Hare was on-once b-bo-boa-” Echo begins and Cadan corrects her softly.
“Not Boa, Boo.”
“boas-boast-boasting of his s-sp-spee-speed be-bef-before the o-oth-othe-other a-an-ani-anim-anima-animal-animals.”
“That was great, Little Wonder!” Cadan praises her and smiles down at her. But than he points at the sentence. “But now again, but more fluidly.”
“Okay! The Hare was once boasting of his speed before the other animals.” Echo was careful and concentrated on every word, to pronounce it correctly.
“Perfect!” Cadan beams at her, looking so proud. Echo beams right back, pride filling her chest. “But can you tell me in your own words what is happening in this sentence, Echo?”
She nods. “The bunny is really fast and now he is bragging about it to others. Like Art does sometimes with his magic!”
“I don't brag, Echo! I'm stating facts. Absolutely true facts.” Art says loudly from across from them. Echo wipes her head to him and tilts her head.
“But Cadan always says you brag!”
“Well then Cadan is stretching the truth!” Art claims, “I never brag!”
“You do brag, a lot!” Hemy and Cad say at the same time. Art glares and pouts at them. Ari is laughing beside him, hiding behind the book she is holding. Aura has her hands pressed against her mouth, to quell her giggling at her older cousin, who now looks like spoiled and childish prince who didn't get his second cake. Echo shares a giggle with Cadan.
After a few minutes the situation in the living room has finally calmed down, after Artemas optioned to just ignore them and to just torture his little sister with reading.
Echo started her new sentence. “'I ha-have n-ne-nev-neve-never y-”
“It's yet, not i-et”
“Yet be-been”
“Pronounce the “ee” a little shorter like “been””
“Been like that?”
“Yes exactly like that!”
“Been be-bea”
“Bee, not be-ah”
“Bea-beat-beate-beaten,’ s-sa-sai-said he, 'wh-whe-when I p-pu-put f-fo-for-fort-forth - what does that mean? Forth?”
“Something like forward.”
“Forward… okay thanks!”
“You're welcome.”
“Now where was I … ah there forth my f-fu-full speed.”
“Now again.”
"’I have never yet been beaten,’ said he, ‘when I put forth my full speed.’”
“Perfect! You're getting pretty good at it. Now tell me what does it say.” Cadan smiles at her she thinks, drumming his fingers against the table.
“No one had been faster than him!”
“Yes basically! That's what he is saying!”
“Then why is saying it so complicated?”
“Because he likes to make himself sound more important and better than anyone else, probably.”
“Sounds like Ari!”
“Hey!” Comes a shout from the other side. “Concentrate on your own text, Ari!” Art scowls Ari. “Sorry Ari!” Echo shouts back.
“You don't need to shout, you sit opposite each other.” Aura tells them with a giggle. But then tilts her head and her eyes brighten. “Or maybe we only shout from now on?”
“No!” Art, Cad and Hemy say almost instantly and simultaneously. Aura giggles again and looks back down on her book. Echo smiles at her and than gives Ari a apologetic smile, who just waves it off and smiles back. Than her eyes focus on her book.
“So where was I? There! I c-ch-”
“Like sh, not like the ch in your name.”
“Cha-chall-challe-challen-challeng-’
“The g is pronounced like a j here, Challenge”
“Challenge a-an-any-anyone here to r-ra-race with me.”
“Again” "‘I challenge anyone here to race with me.’”
“Perfect! Absolutely perfect, Little Wonder!” Echo's chest puffs up in pride, feeling absolutely amazing and mighty. “Now tell me, what does he say?” Echo didn't need to think about it. “He wants to race against other animals to show them how fast he is and to win against them. Like you and Hemy and Art do sometimes to with each other, so you can brag about your winnings.” Cadan lets out a laugh.
“Fantastic Echo, but you should turn down the comparisons a little. We don't want you to accidentally insult someone, do we?”
“But comparisons are easier and funnier.” Echo pouts. Eyes gleaming at Cadan, who rubs his mouth with one hand, hiding his smile. His blue-grey eyes gleaming in amused, meeting hers.
“Fine, only if you think they fit, and not every sentence, or else.” Cad says strictly. Echo knows he isn't serious, because his eyes are lit up and a smiles is tugging on his lips.
“I can accept that.” Echo says back after a while of thinking, acting like she made great sacrifice. Cadan smiles at that and than flickers her forehead. “Continue reading, Little Wonder.”
“Okay, Little Hero!” Echo turns the page. And begins reading. “The Tortoise said qu-qui-quie-quiet-quietly, 'I a-ac-acc-”
“The last c is more like an s.”
“Acc-acce”accep-accept your challenge.’”
“Very good.”
“That's very brave and bold of the tortoise to do, but can he win?” Echo wonders out loud.
“Let's find out. But first read it again.”
“The Tortoise said quietly, ‘I accept your challenge.’”
“Good next sentence.”
“Wha? No explaining?” Echo looks up at him, eyes wide. Cadan laughs. “I think you know exactly what is happening in the sentence, Echo.”
“If you say so.” Echo shrugs and looks back at her book. “‘That is a good joke,’ - hey that's not nice of the bunny! He didn't need to be this mean about that!”
“Yeah, Echo the bunny isn't the nicest animal, but don't worry he will learn his lesson.”
“He will? How?” Disbelief fills her voice and face. “Keep on reading to find out.” Cadan teases her. Echo looks still doubtful but than just shrugs. “Then let's keep on reading.” She looks back at fable and sits up straighter.
“'Said the hare. ‘I could d-da-dan-danc-dance a-ar-aro-arou-aroun-around you all the w-way.’” Than without hesitation, Echo reads the sentence again. “‘That’s a good joke,” said the hare. 'I could dance around you all the way’”
And so they continue on through the whole book, slowly reading each word and carefully pronouncing them correctly. Pausing for explaining the sentence were also made, but they just here and there, when Cadan thought the sentences were a little difficult. But Echo read through it brilliantly, making Cadan really proud and also herself.
She loves it when Cadan is proud of her. It makes feel really good about herself. She is also a little sad that she is now done with the book. While the ending with the bunny getting his rightful punishment and the tortoise, whom she had been rooting to win, actually won. Echo found it is a very fitting ending to the story. But know the reading lesson is over. At least was the first to finish her book.
Ari is the one with most pages left, her reading had not seem as fun as her own. Mostly because Ari is bored, easily distracted and really impatient. She would probably rather run in circles than read for that long. But she needed to be able to read normal. And Art, Cad and Hemy had said multiple times to her, that one day she will thank them for the excruciatingly boring reading lessons. Echo kind of agrees with them, but she would never tell that Ari.
Aura is almost done with her book, slowing down her reading process by going of script and adding thing to the sentences to make them more interesting to her. On some instances Hemera let her do it, in others not so much. Aura has her fun regardless.
“How about we get ourselves something to drink and some candies?” Cadan whispers in her ear. Echo lights up at that and nods wildly, jumping down from her chair, racing into the kitchen, followed by a laughing Cadan and the eyes of two other tiny girls. Their eyes bright as they stare at the pair leaving the room. Then Blue-grey meets fawn-brown. They seem to be talking just with their eyes. A resolute nod to each other before they get back to reading. They have definitely planned something.
___________
I hope you all like it.
If you have any questions feel free to ask me. I would love to answer them.

If you assholes think for one second longer that your poor fragile ego’s and disgusting sense of tradition gives you the right to decide for other people’s bodies, choices or life’s, than you, you abominable turds, will have a lifelong enemy in me. Because I’ll hunt you down. And. Break. Every. Bone. In. Your. Body. Every. Bone. More. Than. Once. And than I let lie where I found and broke you. Where you screamed so much and loud, that at the end you can only cry and whimper. Where you’ll die slowly, painfully, alone and forgotten. Because nobody is going find you, much less remember you.

5 Times Echo Wanted A Big Brother... Part 2
Here is part 2 of 6 (or 7, It depends on Tumblr being a bitch or not).
Azriel this time makes his appearance!
________________
Echo stands in her room. Hands on hips. Strands of hair are held back from her face by turquoise hair clips. She wears a green top and gray shorts with flowers stitched on it. Wings folded. A open bag lays in front of her feet. The bag already contains some things she could need for crafting.
She had a crafting date with all her cousins, except for Hemera. Because they are going to make birthday presents for Little Sun. Her birthday is in two days, on summer solstice, the longest day of the year. Hemera is turning 89 years old, which to Echo sounds old. But not as old as her parents or uncles and aunts are.
And now Art and Ari had invited everyone of the cousins except for the birthday girl to craft and make some presents for her. Which means the whole bunch would be there, Hely and Aura, Morie and Morph, Art and Ari and Cad. Echo was more than excited, Art is incredible talented when it comes to all things creative and he could definitely help her.
She actually doesn't need to bring anything. She has no doubt that Art had stocked up with everything. But she has something in mind and she needs the things in her bag for that. Probably. Just in case. Maybe she really didn't need to bring anything. Crossing her arms, the tiny Illyrian bites her upper lip between her teeth and sucks on it a little. Maybe she should just take “Asher”, her toy dog with her.
Asher is her favourite stuffed animal, he appears to be a grey Cú Faoil/Wolfhound with red eyes. She got Asher with a name already attached to it, but as a baby, she had a little trouble pronouncing the name correctly and would call it “Assa/Asha” sometimes. According to everyone, Cadan has gifted her it when she was born.
But Echo's thinking got interrupted by her father calling her. “Echo, your pickup is here!” Her pickup? Her Dad isn't going to take her to Ari? “Coming!” Curious Echo makes a quick decision and bends down to pick up Asher and goes to the front door.
Upon seeing who stands in the door, Echo brightens and she lets out a sound of delight.
Cadan! Cadan is picking her up!
He is dressed in a simple red shirt and black trousers. His shoulder long black hair is partly in a bun, keeping it out of his face. His wings aren't visible. His arms loosely on his side. He talks with her Dad.
The spiel begins.
Echo starts sprinting and jumps. Cadan had his arms already out, ready to catch her the second she started sprinting. “Hi, Little Hero!” Echo greets with a laugh, smiling at him. Cadan adjusts her a little and answer with a “Hi, Little Wonder!”, smiling back at her. Azriel meanwhile smiles with fondness at his daughter and his nephew.
“No bag?” Cadan asks her. She shakes her head.
“Just Asher. Art should have everything already, shouldn't he?”
“Smart girl!” Cad compliments her. Echo puffs her chest in pride and than giggles. “But we should get going, Little Wonder.” He adjusts her again and practically brings her into her father's waiting arms.
Echo hugs her father and then kisses his cheek. “Bye, Daddy!”
“Bye, Little Wonder. Behave and have fun.” Az tells her and presses a kiss to her forehead.
“I love you, my little wonder.”
“I love you, too, Daddy!”
Father and daughter smile lovingly at each other for a few seconds. Than Azriel gives her back to Cadan. Echo stares and frowns when her older cousin keeps her in his arms instead of setting her down.
“We’ll winnow to Ari.” Cadan answers her unanswered question, as he walks out the door. Tightening his grip on her, Cadan winnows the second they are out on the street.
Hours later and a lot of crafting later. Everybody had their presents for their oldest member of the Archeron-Night Cousins ready. After finishing up cleaning the chaos they somehow ended up making, one by one, or more like in groups, the cousins left.
The first ones to go were Morena and Morpheus. The fraternal twins, Aunt Mor's adopted children. Both are blond and have dark grey eyes, that seem black in certain lights. Despite being only fraternal twins, they do look similar to each other. Morpheus or Morph yawns into his shoulder and is leaning slightly on his older by 16 minutes sister, who is a whole head tinier than him. Morena or Morie rolls her eyes at her brother's behaviour, it makes the three scars on her face like claw marks stand out a little.  Echo didn't know how she got them, only that Morie loved them and didn't want them gone. She says it makes her look badass and scary. The Twins hold their presents for Hemy in their hands. They did basically the same thing. They bought two of Hemy's favourite books and decorated them to the theme of the books. The newly covered books looked very beautiful in Echo's opinion. Hemera will love them.
The spiel begins again.
Everybody hugs the twins and says “Bye, Little Wraith!” to Morena and “Bye, Little Ghost!” to Morpheus.
The next to leave are Helena and Aura. Hemera's little sisters. Helena or Hely, is a red head as Hemera, but her features are softer than her older sisters and freckles are splattered across her nose. Hely doesn't hold a present in her hands. She had already finished hers a week ago. It is new piece on her violin, which she composed for her older sister. Echo couldn't wait to hear it. Helena was absolutely amazing when it comes to playing her violin and composing new pieces. A complete prodigy in the musical field. And Echo loves it when Hely plays, it's always so, so beautiful. And emotional. Aurelia on the other hand has several framed pictures in her hands. All is full of colours. Nothing is untouched by Aura. Even the frames are painted and decorated. She couldn't decide which of her pictures she should give her older sister. So she will just give her all of them. In Echo's opinion, every picture Aura painted is pretty and amazing. And Aura seems to agree with her, as she smiles proudly down to them in her hands, while rocking back and forth on her heels.
And the Spiel begins again, as it always does. And they hug and say “Bye, Sunflower!” to Hely and “Bye, Sunshine!” to Aura.
All that are left are Cadan, Artemas, Arianna and Echo herself. Artemas has of course painted a painting for Hemera. But he hadn't shown it to them. He wanted it to a surprise for everybody. Which Ari didn't find fair, as he knows all their presents for Hemera. Echo did agree, but she didn't voice her agreement, due to Art teasing Ari. Arianna, to her own unending frustration, doesn't have even a little bit of a creative vein in her body. It irks her a lot especially with a older brother and mother like Artemas and Feyre. But Ari did manage to make something decent for their oldest cousin. It is a bookmark with sun charm on a string attached to it. It actually took her multiple times to make it until it came out good enough for her. The other first attempts were immediately destroyed due to frustration on Ari's part.
The only ones that still need to go are her and Cadan. Is her dad or mom coming to pick her up or….
She is disrupted in her thought as Cadan says. “We should get going, too, Little Wonder. It's getting late.” Echo snaps her head up. “You're taking me home?” She asks surprised. Cadan laughs. “I brought you here, I'm taking you home, silly.” Echo instantly brightens. “But can we walk instead of winnow?”
“Of course, Echo. You have everything?”
Echo nods and presses both Asher and her presents against her chest. She really hoped Hemy would like it. Her present. She decorated a few plain pens and pencils. To make them look prettier, for prettier notes.
Cadan pockets his gift, three empty notebooks decorated with quotes and suns and swords and flowers and crowns. Surprisingly the notebooks fit her pens. So now Hemy's notes can be even prettier. Than Cadan turns to Art and smirks. They seem to have a silent conversation, mind to mind. But then they nod and smile.
And the spiel begins again.
After saying goodbye to Little Moon and Little Night, Echo and Cadan have a fun time walking home. Echo holds Cadan's hand the entire way. They joke. They laugh. Cadan lets Echo jump around and walk on lower walls. Cadan had pocketed Echo's present for Hemy in the beginning of their walk home, so Echo could hold his hand.
But too soon the walk was over and they stand in front of her home. Echo knocks on the door. Her father opens it. “Hi you two. How was it?” Azriel asks as he lets them inside.
“It was so much fun, daddy!” Echo exclaims, eyes bright. Az laughs softly. Cadan just smiles down at her. Than looks at the clock in the hallway and winces.
“I should get going. I'm meeting Hemy and Art in the Day main library in a few.” Cadan explains and gives her the present he had been holding for her.
The spiel, the last one for Echo tonight, begins again and ends in a brise.
First he hugs Azriel and than Echo, saying his goodbye to both. And before Echo could say anything other back, Cadan already rushed out the door. Closing it behind him.
Echo frowns at the door. Upset, that Cadan left that early. “How about you tell me in detail what you did today, Little Wonder.” Az asks her, smoothing a hand down her hair. Echo almost instantly brightens. “Okay!” Her sadness about her older cousin leaving that fast already forgotten.
