His decision made his mother extremely unhappy but he refused to hide in safety if he had the opportunity to help his father achieve victory. He nearly died several times and Bellerophon was forced to make difficult decisions to stay alive. He routinely executed rebel prisoners after torturing them out of information, to the point where he felt numb towards death and torture by the end of the war. He removed the life support on Marigold after long deliberation, ultimately deciding that she would never wake up so keeping her alive just made her an easy target for his enemies and the healers tending to her would be helpful for his comrades instead. Bellerophon was scarred by war and he never truly healed from the loss of his two best friends: Kyuberos and Abiel. Near the end of the civil war Bellerophon discovered that his best friend, Abiel, was actually a traitor working for the rebels. Confused over the betrayal, he begged Abiel to switch sides and that Bellerophon would protect him if he did so, but Abiel refused. Abiel apologized and solemnly confessed that his name was truly Angiel Apollos, and that like Bellerophon, he could never go against his father. Horrified, Bellerophon realized that Angiel was the son of the rebel leader Seraphion and that their entire friendship was a lie; Angiel had been a spy the whole time and Bellerophon never suspected. He could not understand why Angiel and Seraphion, if that was even if true name, would rebel against his father if they were truly descended from Angelveion the Knight. Even worse, Bellerophon had come to love and trust Angiel so finding out the truth felt like his heart was ripped out from his chest. With Angiel's truth revealed, both knew they could not allow the other to escape, and they battled - fighting each other out of loyalty to their fathers, disregarding their personal feelings for one another. Unfortunately for Bellerophon, Angiel was older with more combat experience and was the one who taught everything Bellerophon knew about fighting, and he struck the prince near the heart. As Bellerophon fell to the ground in defeat, the years of friendship he wasted on Angiel flashed before him and his hatred for Angiel intensified as he fell unconscious. Unknown to Bellerophon, Angiel could not bring himself to finish him off so he brought Bellerophon to the rebel's healers as a captured hostage. The prince managed to survive and would eventually make a full recovery except for a scar where Angiel stabbed him, but Seraphion ordered Bellerophon into a forced coma he would not be allowed to awaken from until they were victorious. He was hidden away in The Under guarded by Seraphion's subordinates for months, until he finally awakened when Belladonna had become queen after Seraphion's victory. Bellerophon was awoken by Angiel, the last person he wanted to see again, and got informed of the situation. He had a bad feeling when he was told months had passed since his coma and his instinct was proven true when Angiel told him that Kyuberos and both his parents were dead, and Wiz was under a new rule. Bellerophon tried to pick another fight with Angiel after finding out his mother and father died, and blamed Angiel for their deaths. Not only was he a traitor, Bellerophon felt that he could have done something to protect his parents if Angiel had not betrayed him and made him comatose. Sadly, he was still in no condition to fight, and Angiel knocked him unconscious again. The next time he woke up, Bellerophon recognized he was back in his room in the castle, and immediately tried to escape. Because everyone else he still trusted had already died, he sought his siblings to check if they were okay and to gather information. He felt betrayed again when he realized that they had already adapted to their parents death and pretty much accepted Belladonna being a figurehead ruler for Seraphion. Bellerophon refused to let the man responsible for the death of his parents and so many of his father's loyal followers have any sort of power, but everyone else who felt the same way had already been dealt with. Since he would gladly execute Seraphion and any of his followers on sight, Bellerophon was kept isolated, with his imprisonment becoming worse after each escape attempt. In his solitude, Bellerophon's hatred festered and grew worse each day. His hatred was solely directed at Angiel and Seraphion at first, but then he started to despise all the rebels for killing so many of his comrades. As he thought more, his siblings were the next targets of his anger, for not doing enough to help their parents in the rebellion and adapting so quickly to the rule of that horrid Seraphion. The ordinary civilians were next on his shit list, for their roles in the war for either helping the rebels or doing nothing to help his father's forces. He even came to loathe those who followed his father loyally for not being good enough to emerge victorious, and more importantly, protect his parents. He fell into a depression and felt alone, too helpless and useless to do anything. He was not strong enough to avenge his parents and to his chagrin people were beginning to prefer how "fair" and "nice" Wiz was beginning to be with Belzeneff's "horrible laws" repealed. In his eyes everybody was a traitor and he no longer wanted anything to do with Wiz. Determined to escape his horrible home, Bellerophon started plotting on his options and decided that either earth or hell was his best option. Wiz was no longer worth anything to him and while he would have liked to visit hell to see Belisario again, earth would be easier for him to get to. He broke out of his prison once again and searched for his beloved Belufasa, who he had not seen since before his coma. Fortunately the lion was easy for him to find and simply found sleeping in Bellakane's room next to Belbark. Bellerophon convinced the guard that he was only looking for his pet, and the guard was eager to allow Bellerophon to take off the frightening lion off their hands. Bellerophon snuck back into his room and began to prepare to leave, but Bellerophon was unsure of what to expect on earth. He contacted Valerik, the cousin he had been closest to, and admitted his plans as well as his need for advice. Valerik was not happy about Bellerophon's intent to leave and the two got into an argument, but Valerik eventually relented with a promise to keep his departure a secret and he would try his best to find useful information for him. The next morning Valerik knocked on his door at the crack of dawn. Valerik handed him a book of spells he wrote just for Bellerophon that he might find useful on earth, including a language translator he stole from a book in Valentine's office. Even though they were not as close as they were when they were kids, Bellerophon still felt touched that Valerik went to all that trouble and asked if he wanted to leave behind Wiz and all its bad memories with him. Valerik looked like he almost wanted to accept his offer, but finally said that his mother was in bad shape and he worried that should he suddenly disappear, her condition would only worsen. Bellerophon understood his reasons; Valyn was his aunt after all. Before they parted ways, Bellerophon offered Belufasa to Valerik. He had been planning to take the lion with him, but he did not want him placed in unnecessary danger and Belufasa still liked Wiz. Valerik just grumbled about “troublesome pets” but agreed to take care of the lion if Bellerophon needed to leave it behind. After saying goodbye to Valerik and Belufasa, he headed to the door Bellerophon sometimes saw Kyuberos used to travel to earth. Bellerophon was thrilled to find out it was left alone and unguarded; apparently, nobody else understood its significance. With a bag slung over his shoulder he stepped through the door, heading into a new world and a new life. His first days on earth were full of confusion. After arriving in what seemed like a shop and evading the bewildered men in the building when he suddenly appeared, Bellerophon had been wondering why people on earth resembled wizards. He probably would not have lasted even a week without Valerik's useful book helping him understand "english". Eventually he figured out they had slips of paper resembling the belzecash on Wiz as currency, so he handed people some of his gold for dollars. His very first (legal and successful) purchase was at a place he had been drawn to ever since he first arrived, a small building with golden arches that served food. Bellerophon was amazed by the taste of the chicken nuggets he ordered and returned every day to order more. He got his first earth job as a part time worker at McDonalds and gained a reputation around town as "the strange boy who decorated his uniform with gold". It was not long after he arrived on earth that demons apprehended him at that very same McDonalds, stupidly thinking he was his outlawed cousin Valente, after hearing rumors of a blond worker at the restaurant who would kindly show children "amazing magic tricks" during his breaks. His co-workers and customers were terrified, but Bellerophon was thrilled to get arrested by demons. He did not resist because this was an easy way for him to go to Hell and visit the one of the few people left in the universe he cared for, Belisario. He was probably the happiest prisoner in all of hell and it did not take long for Belisario to hear about it, pointing out he was in fact [i]not[/i] Valente. After giving him a cheerful greeting at their reunion, Bellerophon became somber as he informed his brother about the death of their parents, the aftermath of the war, and his disdain of Wiz. He did not stay in Hell for long and returned back to earth, after promising he would visit again. His employer was happy to see him again because they thought Bellerophon had been kidnapped and was declared missing, and glad that he was okay. Bellerophon laughed and said that he was rescued by his brother and there was no need to worry about him getting kidnapped again. He returned to work as if nothing had happened. Eventually, one of his coworkers asked how he did his "magic tricks" and Bellerophon just said it was real magic. Thinking he was joking, his coworker thought this meant he just had a sense of humor and decided to befriend him. Bellerophon was happy to make a human friend, and had many things explained to him and he finally had answers to the human customs that confused him. His friend introduced him to anime and Bellerophon was immediately addicted. He spent all of his free time watching it and took advantage of Valerik's language spell to teach himself Japanese. His friend was impressed by how fast he learned Japanese and how dedicated he must have been, so Bellerophon was taken to an anime convention. Bellerophon thought it was the most amazing place on earth. He bought every little thing that interested him, plus souvenirs for when he visited Belisario again, and his obsession with anime grew until the point his entire apartment was decorated with anime merchandise. His favorite shows were anything with magical girls, or fantasy and magic in general, and he tried to learn the spells he used in shows. Bellerophon thought the humans had vivid imaginations, but the more he wondered about he magic in anime, the more he became curious about magic users on earth. As far as he knew, there were no wizards on earth. He researched at the nearest human library for anything about the history of magic and wizards, and disheartened that wizards were only beings in fantasy. But the supernatural was kept hidden from ordinary humans so Bellerophon thought there was a possibility that wizards were hidden, too. Plus, the fact that magic users were also called "wizards" led him to believe that there must have been some living on earth at some point. Bellerophon looked up other types of magic users and the closest things to wizards seemed to be witches. He was horrified to learn that witches had been burned at he stake in the past, and figured that must have been the reason they went into hiding. Bellerophon resolved to track down these witches and learn more about them. It took him awhile, but Bellerophon managed to track down a witch. To his disappointment, they knew as much magic as a child back on Wiz would know. Bellerophon decided he would teach "proper magic" to any witch he came across and formed a coven with himself as the leader. Most were human with diluted wizard blood, so they were unable to wield as much magic as a pureblood wizard and he refused to acknowledge them as wizards so he called them witches. He treated leading the witches as babysitting, not truly respecting them because he saw them as more human and hardly expected any of them to ever match a pureblooded wizard prince like him. His attitude changed when he came across a boy named Zahndros Sohma, who had unique magic due to his ridiculous lineage of being descended from a fairy, angel, and hunter. Zahndros was amazed to meet a true wizard and to discover the existence of a planet full of them, since his father Jin constantly preached about how amazing magic was. Bellerophon saw him as an interesting friend that he respected for his talent at magic, but Zahndros had become entranced by Bellerophon's beauty and magic. They became friends and after years of one sided feelings, Zahndros asked what Bellerophon thought of love. After his time with Marigold stolen from him and his one sided love for Abiel shattered his trust, Bellerophon never expected to fall in love again and admitted that he refused to ever try again. Disheartened by the response, Zahndros asked how Bellerophon would feel if Zahndros loved him, but Bellerophon just told him that he had learned that romantic love only hurt people and he much preferred friendship and family. But not wanting to give up on Bellerophon, Zahndros decided he would have to resort to drastic measures to get what he wanted from him. Using a spell done by trickster fairies, he cast powerful magic that would make Bellerophon fall in love with him. Bellerophon, arrogant that his wizard magic was superior to Zahndros' fairy magic, never suspected his emotions were being messed with by him. Some time afterwards Zahndros finally confessed to him after Bellerophon was under the spell, and Bellerophon happily accepted, telling Zahndros he would be the exception to what he said about love earlier. Because Bellerophon was unaware of the truth, they had a happy relationship that lasted several months. Bellerophon was finally freed from Zahndros' control when his lover introduced him to his family. Zahndros' great-grandmother Shea, who was apparently a super powerful fairy and the one who taught Zahndros magic, noticed the spell and lifted it from him. He was shocked over the truth and angry for being controlled, but a part of Bellerophon felt desperate to be loved. He was all alone in a strange world, those he loved most were dead and his siblings were out of reach. But Bellerophon craved the happiness he had felt under the love spell and how he no longer felt lonely with Zahndros. He felt scared of losing one of the few good things he had found on earth; Zahndros had become his best friend before the spell was ever cast and although he felt betrayed, Bellerophon didn't want to lose their relationship. He deluded himself into believing that he should feel happy Zahndros loved him so much that he resorted to the spell for Bellerophon to return the feelings. Zahndros cried and apologized for manipulating Bellerophon like he did, but didn't regret the past months because even if it was not truly real it was his dream come true. Zahndros said he never wanted to let Bellerophon go and said that if he could, he would marry him right now. Bellerophon didn't think and just blurted out, "Alright let's get married then." Zahndros was surprised, wondering if he heard right, but Bellerophon didn't take back the proposal so he did not hesitate to accept. Zahdros took on Bellerophon's family name, since it was a common custom on earth, but Bellerophon added "Zahavi" to his own name in honor of Wiz's traditions. It was after their impromptu marriage that Bellerophon figured out a way to visit Belisario like he promised years ago. Shea, Zahndros' awesome grandma, created a portal to Hell for him. She tagged along, claiming she had an old friend to visit, but they temporarily split when Bellerophon when to the castle to find his brother. To his surprise, Belisario was no longer there and King Lucifel nearly killed him for trespassing, only stopping after Belial of all people convinced him not to. It was then Bellerophon learned that Belisario had somehow become king of Wiz and Belial was now living in Hell instead of their brother. Their reunion was short since Lucifel barely tolerated Bellerophon's presence, so Bellerophon quickly went to look for Shea. He found her meeting with the creepiest demon he had met so far and after being forced into an uncomfortable and strange conversation with her, finally got a chance to speak with Shea alone about what happened. She effortlessly made him a portal to Wiz with a snap of her fingers which made Bellerophon seriously question how she could be so powerful, but did not want to anger her after she had been graciously helping him. unfinished [hider= Living Family] Husband: Zahndros Black Siblings: Belisario Black, Belial Black, Amery Pahaliah Brother-In-Laws: Hades Hyperion-Black, Lysandre Petrova In-laws via Zahndros: Mavis, Ezreal, Shea Niece: Lyssa Petrova 1st Cousins: Valentine Mancini, Valroya Mancini, Vallix Mancini, Valerik Mancini, Valente Mancini, Perielles Lereon Alexius, Valerio Mancini 1st Cousins once removed: Valexander Mancini, Valalee Kairi Mancini, Valiance Mancini, Valrose Isara Mancini, Valstell Mancini, Illuminato de Montisquieu, Grazio Merlani 1st Cousins twice removed: Noel Siran, Valarc Mancini, Valeri Mancini, Valtiaro Mancini, Valkristo Mancini 2nd Cousin: Nathrachean Vargas 5th Cousin: Pericles Santiago Alexius Pet: Belufasa [/hider] [/center]
