“So… are we having chicken for lunch? Chicken sounds yummy. And… and… Oooh! Chocolate covered coffee beans! Mmm…Yes! Okay, let’s go!
…Chicken! I’ve been craving chicken since yesterday…I have a theory about it, too. About my craving. I’m totally pregnant. With triplets. Congratulations.”

A: “So… Rumors are flying about you and your Phoenix…”
N: “I bet. Wait, wait. Let me guess…I bet they say that I got eloped and did the nitty gritty in a dance club and now we’re pregnant with quadruplets?”

“I’m a Lion. I chose my mate: you. You are the one I’d choose again and again. My life? You think I had it all? I didn’t really come alive ’til I met you. I’m not going anywhere…your ass is stuck with me.”

“I take you as my hubby, to protect you from meanies and being over silly…and to eat Lava Chicken with you.”
-Nicolas Leonardt-Phoenix (Written by Corry)

“I take you as my husband… to… make sure you aren’t too serious and to give you lots of milk… and… to make you smile… and dance lots.”

Once upon a time Vin and I had started a roleplay world inspired by Jim Henson’s Labyrinth; in particular what happened AFTERWARDS. We’ve decided to create the characters that inhabited this world of the Underground and its King/Queendoms, and bring them to life. It all started with Jareth and Sarah’s children and their epic love stories…and it has epically continued on and on through the generations.
What this world means to Vin and me…it is more than words can say. We put our souls into this world and what it represents. But it is our pleasure and excitement to be able to bring them to life.

There were many shenaniganators in the world of the Underground throughout the years…but few had the mirth and random hilarity that Sora and Nico had together. They also happen to be two of our absolute favorite characters!
Nico Leonardt (eventual Phoenix) was part of the “Gorgeous Trio:” three best friends who were the most popular and desired young men of their time. Nico got some of the best of both his fathers: Aric’s fierce protectiveness, devotion to loved ones, and healing abilities and Cormack’s light-heartedness and passion for life.
Sora Phoenix had always been an odd little bean who was proud of it! He always had a smile on his face and loved his family and his people. It spoke volumes that he was so well-loved as the future King of the Phoenix that people knew him as “Sora” not “Your Highness.” They still did that even when he became King years later; something Sora was absolutely okay with!
Yet Sora had a dark secret behind all those smiles and cheerful laughs. He was a victim of bullying and sexual abuse from a couple of peers; something Nico discovered completely by accident. But once the Lion was made aware, Sora’s life began to change for the better as he learned to stand up for himself and got the help he needed. Eventually his abusers were brought to justice and Sora was able to move on…with Nico’s help of course!
Nico and Sora had found their chemistry to be rather explosive even on their first evening getting reacquainted again. What had started off as a joke quickly turned into something much more and the boys found themselves falling for each other hard and fast. It didn’t take much to realize they were perfect for each other.
It was not uncommon to be wandering the Phoenix capital and see King Sora and Prince Nicolas Phoenix in line for sushi or at the beach going clam hunting! Though their favorite place was the chicken restaurant which specialized in a super spicy dish (Sora’s favorite) known as “Lava Chicken” and the secret (and spicier) “Death Chicken;” both of which Sora could eat without batting an eye. This, of course, always horrified Nico (who could barely eat Lava Chicken) but he playfully promised to heal all of Sora’s future ulcers.
…though nothing beat the time that Sora declared he wanted spicy sushi with wasabi covered in lava chicken sauce (which he DID do and made Nico watch as he ate it)….but when Sora suggested what if he’d chosen death sauce instead?:

N: “Disowned! I don’t know you anymore…you’re going down a path that I cannot follow. Nope. Nope. Nope.”
S: “You can’t disown me! I’m your husband! You’d have to divorce me first… THEN disown me…” (since they were distantly related) “…And you remember that you did that when you have to sleep in a cold, hard Lion bed without me!”
N: “Well when you put it that way that just sounds like too much trouble. Okay fine. I’ll keep you.”
