Mahnoor Lorelei Bianchini's pov
※※※
Summer ended again, and I changed my hair, again, not much though, but my hair was just so damn long beyond my ass and around my thighs that I decided to cut it on my hip line, still long, but not Rapunzel-long. I think I mastered a new thing on the past summer: hair styling. I used to struggle with it a lot, so I just left it all loose, but now I've learned a total of fifty different hairstyles for my hair, which is amazing, can you believe it?
I trained it on my sister-in-law.
Apollo be damned, I never thought I would have a sister-in-law at 22. Not the sister of a boyfriend, because I'm definitely not getting into that kind of trap again, but my older brother's girlfriend. He got freaking married in May, which was why I was allowed to do the finals earlier than anybody else so I could be at home by May 20th, as the finals would be on May 30th, and the wedding was on May 23rd.
One thing you should know is that we un-naturals, aka non-humans, live in the veil of magic between the natural and the un-natural world, we can be among humanity and they will see us as if we were like them, and we live in their "countries", but in a different side of it, a side that humans cannot see, where there's a whole different system of power. Kings, Queens, Dukes, Duchess, Princes, Princesses, and beyond, that typa royalty system you probably know of.
Each human "continent" is a Kingdom in our realm, having one of it's "countries" as the royal capital, correlating with one another differently, and the other "countries" are all governed by Dukes and Duchesses, their children are Noble Princes and Princesses, while the King and Queen's kids are Royals, whereas the Dukes and Duchess are also Royals.
All those important kinds all over the world are accepted into Zeus Academy, it's the most important academy in the world, and it only takes in kids from noble and royal families, be it a Baron or a Duke or a King, or even bastards of noble and royal families, and adopted kids from those too, as long as they are un-naturals. It's a sky academy, so, no getting out of it, you need to be teleported inside, for that you need prior permission of the headmaster, it's a lot.
Orpheus is of peasant nature, but his maternal aunt married the Marquis of Poland, giving him the connection needed for him to have a free pass in Zeus. Can you see how did charity I made by being with him? I feel bad for who I was before.
I'm the daughter of the 2nd daughter of the Indian Duke and Duchess of Asia with the firstborn son of the Italian Duke and Duchess of Europe, as my madre Maya Navya Khan is the 2nd out the 10 kids of Shreyas Ayaan Khan and Aadhya Anika Rathore-Khan, and my padre Pietro Alessio Bianchini is the 1st out of the 5 kids of Leonardo Matteo Bianchini and Valentina Serena Giannini-Bianchini. And because the kids always take the last name of their most politically dominant parents, my name is Mahnoor Arianna Bianchini, and my older brother is Riccardo Aaryan Bianchini.
My parents only had us so far, he's six years older than me, from June 5th, so, currently 28 years old, and the heir of our family, the future Duke Bianchini.
What kind of un-natural are you, Mah?
The Bianchini is a long line of storm dragons, while the Khan is a long line of magma dragons, so... I'm a storm and a magma dragon, because that's what happens when two different orders, if mates, procreate: hybrids born to be stronger than both their orders ever were and with an extra unique power that formed from the interracial breeding. Mine is time, though it's a secret that only my parents and Ric knows, while Ric's unique power is dream manipulation that can also be used as nightmares manipulation as is badass as hell.
So... I'm a dragon.
Ric still lives in our home, which is, well, a castle, and that's why after a month away in his honeymoon in Bora Bora, he and his wife came back to Italy, and how I spent time with her. She's 25 years old, 3 less than him, 3 more than me, in our middle, and she's absolutely amazing, and gorgeous, and we spent a ton of time together, which made my brother overly-happy because he always wanted me to be friends with his future wife, which happened.
Well, I've known her for ages, but we weren't close, and I never thought she would date him. She graduated in Zeus a bit more than a year ago, and that's when she actually got close to him, they dated while I was away, and I met her as his girlfriend in the last winter break, when he popped the question. Then they married in May as I've said.
Giulia Maria Martinelli, now Martinelli-Bianchini, the 3rd and youngest kid of Marchioness Francesca Martinelli with Marquis Paolo Guerra-Martinelli, both wind dragons, thus she's one too, but still a dragon. Always been under papa's family, and are loyal to the core, so it was a good and blessed union. She's taller than me around 1.83m, looks like a model, slim, light skinned, with waist-length wavy golden hair, and the bluest baby blue eyes.
My brother looks just like me, but male and with black hair like mamma, and as tall as papa around 2.05m, which is a lot more than me for sure.
If we were measuring by human rulers, I wouldn't be short by any means, as I'm 1.70m, but by un-natural rulers? I am very short, in fact, by un-natural means, Giulia is average. Average. While my brother is a bit above average for males, can you believe that shit?
I blame mamma's genes, she's taller than me but she's also considered short at 1.77m, I took it from her, since papa's bloodline is made out of giants.
HOWEVER, I'm tall as a dragon, in fact, to their dismay, I'm even huger than my parents or my brother, and my scales a the same color of my hair, that's how it goes, so, mahogany, dark cooper-ish, with a rare crescent moon tail, also never seen before, so, that's that.
