]] That spoiler is also tied into his mother forbidding him for speaking their family's affairs and concerns with others in an attempt to maintain some secrecy and privacy. And he is terrified of accidentally revealing too much to outsiders and thus disappointing his mother.

to:

* {{Interspecies Romance}}Romance}} All of royal-blooded are descended from different magical ancestors. They refer to themselves and other royals as their ancestor as well.



* {{Love Potion}}

to:

* {{Love Potion}}Potion}} [[spoiler:One can conclude from the timing of the love spell that Windfire and Nightshade like one another and have a deep friendship, but that their sexual encounter was sparked by the spell instead of the situation and their feelings for the other. It could have also intensified the physical contact between the two so that the {{Addictive Magic}} effects mentioned above more or less tricked them into falling in love.]]



* {{Revenge By Proxy}} The ancients (who are not the best people by far) have enacted this upon one another. [[spoiler: Skybolt (the Simon family ancient) finds out his wife Dawnbreak (Deverille ancient) is pregnant with another man's child. The man is Nightfall Gerard. And since mixing bloodlines is seen as powerful and Dawnbreak married into his family instead of vice-versa, Skybolt sees her affair as robbing him of his insanely powerful heir since it would have to be the firstborn of both of their families. So he arranges for their son to be abducted and taken to where he will never be found. And he did this as an act of torture against them because that is far worse than them finding out that the child is dead. For this, Nightfall murders Skybolt with the intention of marrying Dawnbreak.]]



* [[SinsOfOurFathers Sins of Our Ancestors]] The Gerard family hypothesizes that this is the reason for the misfortunes of the Deverille family. This is because ancient history is forgotten, languages change, documents are lost and there is nothing they have done in modern history that could have been seen as a declaration of war. It turns out that [[spoiler: The Simon coven has kept detailed records that have been passed down from head of coven to head of coven for millions of years. Unlike the other covens, they do so orally instead of with written word. And for every sleight against their family, Earthwind is enacting vengeance. YMMV on whether it is justified after seeing how the ancestors behaved toward one another.]]

* {{Beware the Honest Ones}} This is part of the reason Windfire is distrustful of him. She knows that she can count on various witches to be dishonest and to behave in their own self interest or politically via their family's wants. But, he seems not to have an agenda.

And he shows up on the mortal plane to give her half of what he earned. He could have easily given her less money. Or simply not given her any of the profits at all.
