the pendragon dynasty << o & a

[the.smitty]

The king is dying.

King Braydon was forced to separate his two children at birth in order to protect
the Pendragon dynasty after the death of his beloved wife and Queen. His first-
born son and heir to the kingdom Jasper Pendragon was sent away to be raised in
secret so that none would know his true identity and the power that flowed through
his Pendragon veins. His daughter on the other hand, was kept within the castle
walls, under the knight’s watch.

For twenty years, the witch that killed his wife could not be found.
As his reign comes to an end, the knight's watch must track down the prince and heir
to the throne before the king perishes.

A western wind blows and carries the wicked witch with it, the King knows death
is knocking on his door. Will the knight's watch find the heir before it's too late?
Or will the wicked witch seize this perfect moment to take her revenge and
destroy the kingdom she was denied.

Before most of us were born, in a time when all magic still flowed through the Kingdom of Arlamore a young prince by the name of Braydon Pendragon, had a tough decision to make. Marry his childhood sweetheart Theodora, a simple commoner who had no association with any royalty. Or marry the fair maiden his father had chosen, a partnership that would strengthen the kingdom of Arlamore and please his father.

Now, we’d all love to say that the young prince married his sweetheart, defied his father and lived happily ever after. But this isn’t a fairy-tale.

Theodora was heartsick when she heard her beloved was marrying someone else, in her moment of weakness her magic consumed her. The once cheerful, opportunistic girl was consumed by the ancient dark magic that lived within the citadel. Her heartbreak and thirst for vengeance fuelled the dark magic and it flooded the citadel like a virus. The dark magic started manifesting creatures and spirits that the kingdom had once thought to be extinct. Theodora’s once pure heart was now consumed by hatred and anger, all she wanted to do destroy the man that broke her heart and everything that he cherished.

This started the war.

The magical war lasted 12 years. By the end of it the wicked witch and her dark minions could no longer be found, magical creatures had disappeared from Arlamore and any person that used or associated themselves with magic would be bannished or worse. At the end of the war, the Queen gave birth to two beautiful children, a boy & a girl. The royal family thought this signified a new era of peace and harmony but Theodora had tricked them. She disguised herself as an elderly widow and snuck into the castle with evil intentions. But the King had heard whispers in the wind, before she could cause much harm he sent a small group of Escorts and Guardians to take his son, the future heir to the kingdom far away and raise him in secret. So that none would know his true identity and the power that flowed through his Pendragon veins, not even the prince himself. As he did this in the dead of night, his queen passed away.

Now that twenty years have passed, the King knows death is close by and that the wicked witch Theodora is waiting to pounce.

Winter is coming, the days are getting shorter, nights are getting colder. The powerful witch & evil queen Theodora
will attack the citadel and kill the king before he has had a chance to grab his sword. By midday, she will take the
throne and rid herself of anyone who tries to stop her. At her disposal is an arsenal of magic and magical beings who
have been forced into the shadows by King Braydon, they are vial and on the hunt for the prince & princess. The dark
magic and beings that were once considered outlawed in the kingdom of Arlamore is now flooding the lands.

The princess and the knights must escape the citadel and find the true heir to the throne before the world descends
into chaos once more.

It is believed that Arthur Pendragon - the first Pendragon. Was blessed by the grand dragon for his
courageous efforts, as a result, any of Arthur’s true descendants are born with the dragon birthmark
somewhere on their bodies. Only members of the royal family and escorts know about this well-kept
secret, this helps the knights watch and the royal family identify any imposters. It will also help
them identify the lost heir. Due to Arthur's blessed lineage, true pendragon descendants act as magical
power generators or users. They have the ability to harness this ancient power in a variety of forms
that vary from superstrength, speed or accelerated healing. However, each pendragon member can
only harness one power perfectly it is noted that other family members may never be able to harness
their inner power, such as King Braydon. This power can be sensed by highly skilled magical beings and
users, it can also be used by the Pendragons to communicate with any remaining Dragons (Dragons have
not been seen for centuries so it is unsure if this fact is true or not).


> can communicate with dragons
> twins and siblings have been known to telepathetically communicate with eachother if they
have a strong bond
> temporary use of superspeed, strength & healing
> technically considered magical powerhouses
> can be unstable and dangerous magic if not taught correctly
> this magic can control and consume the host

Hand selected at the age of 13, these knights are skillfully trained to be elite soldiers that are highly
skilled in hand to hand combat and magic identification. Their only objective is to protect the royal
family and the kingdom of Arlamore from both human and magical threats. They are responsible for
hunting magical beings and creatures within the kingdom, maintaining peace and eliminating the evil
witch and her horde. Members of the watch are divided into three sections: Rangers, Guardians &
Escorts. Each division reports to the commander and/or their assigned royal member.

Once you have joined the watch any relationships you previous had are considered non-existent, it is
against the law to have a romantic relationship as it can be considered a distraction and a weakness.


rangers >> Rangers are complex and multiskilled individuals, they are the brute strength
of the knights watch. They are often found scouting and recruiting new members, completing almost
impossible missions and other confidential tasks.
guardians >> Guardians focus on protecting the kingdom, eliminating any magical being
and hunting down the evil witch Theodora.
escorts >> Are assigned a royal family member to protect and serve. They serve as personal
guards and have the ability to assign tasks to Rangers. Each Escort has a specific set of skills that are
fine-tuned for their royal member.

the commander >> Oversees all members of the watch, this person orchestras missions and
guards in alignment with the king.

"Another day another pointless hunt, huh." Klaus muttered as he slipped on the black
guardian uniform, a blazing red dragon printed on his dirty chestplate. His
large hands running through his hair as he attempted to tame it whilst his
eyes flickered over Lake Winchester, a clear blue lake rumoured to be protected
by merfolk. If anything, Klaus had found the rumour to be fake and the presence
of merfolk within the area non-existent. What a let-down. Klaus rarely returned to
the garrison empty-handed, well, in this case almost empty handed...

A sense of uneasiness and paranoia had ruled Braydon's night. The old king had given
up on any hope of sleep that night, instead of wasting the cool, crisp night he had
been strolling around the castle grounds - people watching. His mind was foggy and his
heart was astray as he thought about the events that had transpired on this very night
twenty-one years ago. the night sent away his heir and precious son, the night his
queen cried and the city mourned.

As the warm, golden rays of the sun started to light up the kingdom of Arlamore,
Braydon found himself resting on one of the stone chairs in the castle gardens, embracing
the beautiful sunrise as he did every day. He couldn't hear anything other than the blissful
morning song of the willowbee birds and the soft sounds of the horses waking up.
"What a beautiful morning."

"That it is father. Another restless night?" Ezra's soft voice enquired as she sat beside
her father, watching the sunrise and embracing its warm rays.

roslyn smiled as she exchanged a few coins with a man, he handed her a small basket full of vegetables. she thanked him and left for the forest. the small town would soon be too busy to shop in. rose carefully moved along the forest path she grew accustomed to know. occasionally stopping to pick up some herbs and mushrooms. she was twelve when the woman who found her taught her the difference between deadly and healing herbs, poisonous and editable berries and mushrooms. she was thankful for the woman's wisdom and teachings. she slowly headed for the small stone building that was overgrown by plants. it looked almost like a witch's home, but it wasn't. no one lived there except for roslyn. roslyn and the memories of madam rue. she gently placed the basket that was practically overflowing and got out a few bowls, and separated the basic veg from the mushrooms and berries. she felt like she was being watched but she didn't know if that was just a feeling or what. she brushed it off easily and continued to move around the small room.

it was cold and the dragon was too weak to fly again, backing herself into a small cave, she rested her head on a large rock. her thin and long neck was adorned with scars, her pale grey scales smeared with traces blood and mud, the chain metal dug into her neck slightly so she adjusted to be more comfortable. the dragon was dying. not from old age, but starvation and weakness. she couldn't hunt properly, especially now that man and the other creatures have grown smart, they can now hunt her and possible kill her. especially in her weakened state. she looked like a ghost, the ghost of a fierce dragon that had long since died. she looked like an empty shell, like a shed snake skin. bones' tail coiled around her and her wings folded up neatly. she kept watch as she rested, only letting herself sleep once it was too dark for the humans to be out.

Jasper - Hunter/Prince - Open
He leaned against the cabin where he and his parents lived it was on the outskirts of the town hidden between trees the sun just peaked through the trees enough to warm his face. Closing his eyes he took a deep relaxed breath waiting for his father for their morning hunt as they usually did. Blinking his eyes open he peeked into the window his father kissed his mother goodbye and walked outside "Ready boy?" his father asked. Jasper chuckled "Do you really have to ask old man?" he poked fun at his father as they started into the forest both readying their bows in hand. They walked silently, for the most part, using hand signals to communicate as to not scare away any animals splitting up Jasper watched as the trees enveloped his fathers figure into the near distance. Taking a deep his eyes scanned the tree it seemed not much was awake aside from the smaller animals such as birds and squirrels nothing worth using an arrow for.

Kira - Towns herbologist/Medic - Klaus
She had gotten up well before the sun in order to go find herbs that she was lacking in her shop it seemed lately everyone was either having issue sleeping or needing something to help with headaches. It felt like something big was happening and everyone could just tell tho no one knew what it was she didn't want to find out. Walking down to the lake she looked around the ground near the waters edge smiling seeing the herbs she had planted had taken root and were growing well. Kneeling she opened her satchel and began harvesting a few leaves glancing around before using her magic to help it grow more so she would be able to harvest enough. Glancing up she noticed a little ways away there was a guardian she shifted uncomfortably he was looking at the water so she hoped he had not seen her use her magic even something so minor she could get in trouble for.

a festering heat wakes atreus from his slumber, a warmth that spreads from deep within his chest. the man wakes with a startled gasp, his hand clutching at his chest as he jerks into a sitting position. after a few tense moments, the heat fades and the glow that was starting to spread across his skin diminishes. it wasn't the first time the dragon soul woke him, his dreams were getting more and more unsettling and it's spiking his emotions. the soul was already unstable, even with the witch's magic, and these dreams were making things worse. half the time he doesn't remember them, but when he does they still make no sense. many were filled with fire and pain, battles with unknown faceless enemies, while others were muddy visions of strife and uncertainty.

since there was no way he'd be able to return to sleep, atreus leaves his closet of a room to start the day. the room was only big enough to hold a small cot to sleep on and a basket of clothing, there wasn't even a window. the man was use to such accommodations though since he's had it for several decades now and besides, it's not like he spends much time in it. the evil witch who 'rescued' him, a word that always makes him sneer in contempt, has been running him ragged over searching for the pendragon king's missing heirs. her obsession with the royal family was something he use to silently question, but has grown to ignore it and simply follows the orders given. ever since the prince was put into hiding, atreus has been forced to search for him, but hasn't had any luck. that is until recently. a lead has given him clues as to where the prince might be hiding, but he's kept such things from the witch, rebelling against her as much as he possibly can.

atreus eats a meager breakfast, some cold meats from the day before, before leaving. he doesn't bother going to find the witch who has gained control of him, he already has his orders for the day and he doesn't want to deal with her right now. her rantings always lasted too long for his liking and almost always ended with more things for him to do. atreus takes a deep breath as he gets outside, enjoying a moment of fresh air before he has to once again start his search for the missing prince. he's got an idea where the boy might be, but doesn't want to actually find him so he doesn't check to see if his feeling was right. atreus winces with a sigh before letting the dragon loose to transform. the burning heat from earlier sparks in his chest and consumes him, a bright flash of fiery light engulfing his figure as it morphs into that of a dragon. it was agony to change forms, the fire in his veins burning him from the inside out. after so many years of transforming, he's grown numb to the pain though it still hurts. atreus stands as a two-legged wyvern after the fiery light fades away and he waits a moment for the pain to subside before taking to the skies. hopefully today was just as uneventful as all the others, he hates to think of what the witch would do if he actually does find the prince.
