Dydri waved a hand over her shoulder. "A group of trees just missed me back there, and I sheltered in them." She had seen the trees fall, so that part of her story was safe. "Could I see the rulers, please? I have information for them."

The guard raised an eyebrow. "Ye won't g't near th'rulers that eas'ly, lass." he said, "What d'you need t'tell them...?

(Uh, misslynx, if the princes and/or princesses leave the castle, tell me... I'm just saying because I can't think of much for my character to do at the moment.)

Chris follows after Henes. Ice lies down and looks bored. He idly turns a near by tree into a gleaming ice sculpture with a single breath. Satisfyed he lies back down to take a nap.

((Oh, right...Sorry, forgot about that.)) Royal Palace, AnistawnThe next morning, Zach rose early. He had barely gotten out of bed that a servant was at his side, holding his clothes for the day. He took them without saying anything and dismissed the servant, then closed the door and got dressed. He then walked to the Mess Hall, which was deserted except for the servants waiting for him. Apparently, his siblings weren't up yet, and neither were the King or Queen. As he sat down and ate his breakfast, Zach went over the things he could do that day. Only one seemed interesting to him: going out for a right in the woods surrounding the palace. Zach finished and got up. "Tell the workers at the stables to prepare my horse. I wish to go out for a short time." he told one of the servants. "Yes, your highness, right away, your highness." she replied with a curtsy, then left. "I will go get one of the Archers to be your bodyguard, your highness." said one of the other servants. Zach frowned. He'd forgotten about the bodyguards. "No." he said. "But, your highness, we were told to get you a bodyguard every time you exit the castle..." argued the servant. "You are not supposed to argue with me. You will not get me a bodyguard." replied the prince, annoyed. "Yes, your highness, my apologies, your highness." with that, she exited. Amarante, who'd come in right in the middle of the fight, stopped the servant in the middle of the hall. "Get him a bodyguard anyway. As much as I hate him, I still don't want to see him dead." The servant smiled slightly. "Right away, your highness." and she went off to the guest wing to fetch a guard. DragonHood, AnistawnHenes got to the building and went in, holding the door open for Chris. Someplace between DragonHood & Fawlon, AnistawnThe icy wind tugged at Guo's clothes as shortened his reins again and patted AmberFire's neck softly. Good boy. Hang on, we'll get there soon. he told the dragon. It is cold and the wind is blowing hard, replied AmberFire. I know; don't worry, we'll get you in a warm place when we get there, and I'll buy you some nice steak as a reward. Wouldn't you like that?There was no reply. ...AmberFire?Still no answer from the dragon. The dragonrider was too busy trying to speak to AmberFire and didn't notice they were flying straight into a cliff until it was too late. *** "Ooh, a mortal..." murmured a female voice next to Guo. It had to be the most beautiful voice he had ever heard; a clear, melodious voice like no other. It continued, "Is he for me, Brother? He's kinda cute..." Soft fingers stroked his jaw gently. "Stop it, Misakchi. He is not 'for you'. I brought him here for a reason." replied another voice, this one male. "Aw..." said the female one, dissapointed. "Are you sending him to the Peaceful Realms? Such a waste if you do so..." "I need to talk to him, as do I need to speak with other mortals later on.” Guo opened his eyes to find himself in some kind of palace made entirely of white stone. He was lying on the floor, with a man standing in front of him. He bore a thick wooden staff that looked somewhat like a cross, and his skin was unusually pale. His brown hair was cut short and weariness shown in his grey eyes. He smiled down at the other man. There was a woman sitting next to him, gazing at him with interest. She was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. Her crystal blue eyes were in a tint he had never seen before. Her face was carved in a perfect oval shape, and her blonde hair framed her face perfectly. Her nose was thin and her lips full, and her body had the curves that men found so attractive in a woman. She had apparently noticed he was staring, for she laughed. A musical laugh just as beautiful as her voice. “Men like you are so entertaining…” she murmured. “Cut it, Misakchi.” said the man harshly, “He is not here to flirt with you.” Guo stared back and forth between the two. He had seen them before; but where? |

Thaine and his archers looked up as the servant approached him. "Can I help you with something?" asked Thaine.

Royal Castle, Anistawn
The servant curtsied. "Prince Zaccheus wishes to go out on a morning ride. He does not seem to like the idea of having a bodyguard follow him, but Princess Amarante told me to go fetch one for him anyways- she says she wouldn't like to see him dead, as much as she dislikes him..." she said.
DragonHood, Anistawn
Henes walked all the way down to the door at the end of the hall. He knocked on the door, then said, "There's someone here to see you, Da."
He turned to Chris. "There you go."
The God Realms
Misakchi, seemingly annoyed at Kuiriu's impatience, got up and left.
"Well, I guess it is just you and me, Guo..." said Kuiriu with a sigh.
"A-are you...Are you the god of death...? Kuiriu?" asked Guo. The man nodded slowly.
"Why have I come here?"
"I must speak with you, as I will with other mortals later on...
"As you may already know, some Llyans have attacked two of the three Anistan princes, Zaccheus and Ambrose. It is not the only thing unusual that has happened lately. An incredibly brief hurricane has hit Sakuya island, and it was not at all my Mother's doing. We think it is all a doing of Ikiun..."

"Oh thanks." Chris opens the door and goes in not knowing what to expect. Since this was the first time someone from Dragonhood had ordered from him.

"Fine, I will go and be the bodyguard," said Thaine. He got his bow, arrows, sword, and his horn. "If you hear this horn blow," he said, "I want you all outside immediantly. Understood?" The archers all nodded, then Thaine went out of the castle, got his steed, then started to catch up with the prince.

If you mind, say the word, and I'll stop. ^-^)) Raynaer couldn't have been more bored. Bored, and unable to get a glimpse of a hem of Yu Jie's dress. Not that he expected anything different; he would have to work for a decade to become her personal servant, the only way he saw to getting close enough to assassinate her. Ikiun would have to wait, and that was that. "Will I?" Raynaer tumbled over into the washbasin, straigtening within a hair's breadth of soaking his face in water meant for chamberpots and little else. Turning around, he tried to glance at the person coming into the cellars for not apparent reason. Tried, because he ended up staring. A man in an all-consuming cloak leaned on a chest, looking at Raynaer and grinning. A hood covered his face, showing just his chin that looked sunburned - and his eyes glowed from beneath to hood like polished stones. His teeh seemed to protrude a bit from bloodless lips. The cloak shimmered a little, and had a strange quality that reminded Raynaer of... a scab. He gulped. Or old blood. Or just lots and lots of it. "Ah, is someone wondering what to do?" A nail, lacquered scarlet tilted Raynaer's chin to stare into Ikiun's eyes. Black eyes. Black eyes became fire. Literal fire that burned Raynaer's skin. "You will find Yu Jie and kill her. You will go to the Head Maid this second and ask for a promotion to the highest position next to being the princesses's personal servant. And you will kill the Princess of Sakuya tonight, or I will have my Llyans rip off your limbs. Am I clear?" Raynaer stared. For a very, very long time. He stayed frozen until Ikiun had vansihed as instantly as he had come. He sat there until high noon, where he numbly walked to the Head Maid and, numbly, asked for a promotion. The Head Maid opened her mouth, gasped, and in a trance said yes. And Raynaer went, dumbly, to his rooms to change into his new robes. *** Ikiun sat on his throne and waited. Always waiting. That princess was going to cause him more trouble than he cared to think about - and that boy... at least he had gotten to him before Amari. The consequences of failing in that had not even been worth giving a first thought. Ikiun shifted - bones crunched underneath, and a distinct scream - and waited more. Tonight, it would end. End, or begin. |

((No, no, that's fine...))
The God Realms
"And what does that have to do with me...?" asked Guo.
"We need fighters. Ikiun has probably already lured people into working for him, and we need to have mages and fighters on our side too."
"But why me? There are so many great warriors out there..."
"You have been blessed by my mother. Your ability to communicate with dragons is not something everyone has. And a dragon'd wisdom can be useful in such situations." replied Kuiriu.
"Okay...so that's all you wanted to tell me...? When will I fight? How? And against who?"
"Those are details I can not give to you. You should recieve news from my Brother, the Warrior, soon. Now, back to your body before they bury you."
The next thing he knew, Guo was at the bottom of a cliff, with AmberFire at his side and his sister looking down on him.
"Guo?! How can--I thought you were--" started Yra, then, all of a sudden, slapped him. "You had me worried SICK! Don't do things like that!"
"I was...I saw Kuiriu." mumbled Guo. "He wanted me to--"
"Probably just visions. Next time, don't be so distracted and maybe you won't crash into a cliff." said Yra, helping him up.
Royal Castle, Anistawn
Zach was dressed in full riding gear and already on his stallion. He was talking to one of the queen's ladies-in-waiting; more like boasting about how he went to the royal university and recieved prizes and special diplomas in philosophy, when he saw Thaine coming. He growled. "I thought I asked for no bodyguard!"
DragonHood, Anistawn
Baron Cyrus, an old man in his fifties, looked up from his pile of papers. "Yes?"
((Eh...Would you guys mind if I killed your characters? I need to bring Thaine, Chris and Dydri to the God Realms, and to do that I have to make them die. So I'd sorta need your permissions...))

"Here is the sword you ordered. I had it blessed like you asked."
