“Your parents were the last King and Queen of Solaria. You return here as joint Heirs to the throne.”
“Max Rigel,” (the dark-skinned demi-god). “Caleb Altair,” (the blonde-haired beau next door), “Darius Acrux,” (my sin-filled fantasy). “And Seth Capella,” (the long-haired lothario). “This is Gwendalina and Roxanya Vega-”

“Nymphs aren't born with Elemental powers. But if they kill a Fae, they absorb all of their magic. Every last drop. And then they can use it against us.”
“So, someone's lying to us,”
I believe the House of Acrux was involved in the death of your birth parents. And I have my suspicions that the other Heirs’ families assisted.
