The Arts Are An Art: The Ciro Family

I feel horrible for this family.

The Ciros are elves. They are immortal, yet can still die. So, to phrase it better, they will live indefinitely unless killed by severe illness or others.

The primary figure in the family is Aori Ciro. Aged 270 years as of The Lost Sister, he is a very sensitive and rather young elf. He was born and raised in the seaside village of Viera in the Irelian Empire. At the age of twenty, his family friends the Farhans had their eldest child Lavita, whose parents desired she marry Aori when the time was right. The two grew to become the best of friends as Lavita grew up, but not once did the two ever think of marrying.

Until, of course, Lavita hit puberty.

As soon as she started maturing, Aori felt some kind of connection to her, and she felt one towards him. It wasn't any normal love, though, they realized. The electricity and power created when they kissed was simply divine, and a sign that the two were soul mates. When Lavita was finally 20 and Aori 40, the two were married.

As the years passed, they quickly evolved into decades, and eventually two centuries. At the age of 238, Lavita gave birth to their first child, Jarvis. At the age of 242, she gave birth to Lucy. And at the unfortunate age of 250, Lavita was cruelly murdered.

It's an unfortunate story, really, her murder. The Ciros were visiting Lavita's parents in Reyjavik, and were on their way back to the Farhans' house after attending a party when they were attacked by a man Aori would learn months later to be the legendary Horned King.

Aori sent Jarvis and Lucy running back to their grandparents' house, but Lavita had already been in the Horned King's arms. Granted, the Horned King was disguised, wearing black clothing and a black hooded cloak as well as a mask of a human's face (which one can decide on how he acquired such a realistic mask), but he could not conceal his horns. The Horned King had Aori restrained as he beat Lavita, eventually choking her to death. If you know the Disney movie featuring the Horned King, The Black Cauldron, then you know how much he loves choking people. He releases Aori, only to disappear for a few months and return not for Aori, but for the "young" lady he happens to be with.

Since then, Aori has lived without his beloved wife, but just barely. However, a few months after her murder, he meets a woman who claims her name is Rebecca Laiserydes, and that's where his involvement in The Lost Sister begins.

I hope this elaboration on one of my favorite OC families pleases you and encourages you to read the first story featuring them, The Lost Sister.
