Hawke
The Sorcerer
It was true, Declan was a feared person in Blackhaven, various reasons of course. Some for his family, others well...they knew his powers and what he was fully capable of. Most had no reason to fear him, but still did this was no different when they'd arrived at Moby Dick's, the whaling and nautical atmosphere was a nice touch for a seafood place...it really added to the ambiance too. Still he'd not requested the private or VIP area...but was appreciative of it, going as far as to give poor waitress $50 for her troubles and also to ease her a bit.
"Merida has a boyfriend, who he is I don't know, she won't give that information out, probably due to dad's reaction. You know he wanted to marry her to a MacIntosh, Dingwald, or MacGuffin. Needless to say that didn't go over well. Merida got so upset about that particular Highland Games, she accidentally turned mom into a bear..."
How had that happened? He didn't know, he wasn't able to make it home in time for the games, he'd arrived that night in fact. Merlin had him on spring break, so he was able to stay home for the week, the house in Perth actually. The summered in Aberdeen...and Declan had been left unknown to Fergus, an estate on Skye. Still Merida had involved herself with a witch that masqueraded as a wood carver...Declan at this point was only 19 years old with Merida being 17, so he was only in the 689th circle in his training, still an apprentice but almost a sorcerer, one would need to reach the 700th circle to be a full fledged sorcerer or sorceress. Still Merida had kept it a secret while Declan did damage control at court, Merida and Eleanore seeking a reversal, Declan couldn't help break that curse...
This is where their blood feud with Mordu had started, a former druid that liked the form of the dire bear, Mordu had injured Fergus when Merida was 5 and Declan was 7...though he was with Merlin when it happened. This changing Eleanore into a bear furthered the feud, as Merida needed to seek out the sacred stones, the famed Ring of Brogdar on the Orkney Islands...the same islands that her brother Declan had been born...in the city of Kirkwall. Eventually the siblings managed to undo the curse, with Merida mending the family tapestry...one that her brother Declan wasn't on...but she now added much to Fergus' objections. Declan had managed to impale Mordu with an ice spike and watched him tumble into the sea...his fate unknown.
"Still, use caution with my brothers okay? I don't want them to cause you harm."
He took in the comment about Merida...well he needed to give some more insight.
"Merida just doesn't want to see what happened with Tinkerbell...well to happen again...I can't explain why she's protective of me, she's always been that way especially with the way dad acts. But the Tinkerbell thing made her more so...still I am hoping we can meet this boyfriend before too long, I suspect dad's reaction is why we've not met her. Did my mother give you any insight? Or say anything to you about us?"
Declan was wondering if Eleanore had commented about approval or something to the effect of them being a match or couple, she was good at pairing people...but usually in the sense of the upper class.
Flagging down the waitress, Declan made a request.
"Miss, getum við fengið nokkra drykki? Alkóhólisti vinsamlegast?"
