Advisory Unneeded (semi-lit+)

[ElementalInsanity]

Mark was very... confused at the moment. Blood loss tended to do that to people and he was no exception. But it wasn’t just that. The boy that he had so nicely fallen over was now having girls left and right talking about ‘Oh brother mother is worried about you!’ No one would be idiotic enough to believe that. Mark sure wasn’t, and he was confused and laying on the ground in a small pool of his own blood. So all-in-all not very convincing on the girls’ part. Managing to push himself up out of his huddled position, he nearly just fell right over again, hand gripping to the rock beside him to hold him up and steady. His eyes darted between the company that was around him, before nearly falling over again as he let go of the rock to try and get out his own weapon at the sight of seeing ‘Rai’ pulling out his. When Arctria told him to watch it, that made him snap. He snarled over at her before weakly making his way over to her to point a knife in her face. “Oh yes, such a tough time. The boy is lying peacefully on the ground and looks like he is in so much trouble. Wouldn’t want to hurt him! No, not at all, not when I’m the one bleeding.” Perhaps he was just imagining things, but what was that small look that Rai had cast over to this girl? But that was insignificant to him once he, yet again, almost fell over. Giving a snarl to all three of them, Mark made his way to the rock to sit down and undo the bandaging that was doing little to nothing to stop the flow of blood from what now appeared to be a very bad wound. Huh. It hadn’t looked that bad earlier. Of course it was probably getting infected. Having nothing to provide as bandaging, he had used the last bit of bandaging this morning on his arm, he wrapped the already blood-soaked bandaging back around his arm, before his brain remembered that there were two people here. “You might as well give it up ladies. No one in this group believes that you are his sisters, let alone that he has a mother. The boy’s a street-rat.” Those last words just proved that Mark knew nothing or Ren’s actual identity, and it would be best on everyone else’s part to realize that and play along with that instead. For Mark was not a friend of the king, not as though he knew him personally. But he had made clear before that his intentions were to kill the king, for he did not like the boy. People tried to blame all his actions on his ‘Advisors.’ Oh yes? Well no matter who’s fault it was, Mark was still hungry, still starving, still dying slowly day by day. Dozens of others were as well. And King Ren did nothing but sit on his throne with the best of luxury. Mark had no sympathy or compassion to King Ren, and especially not at times like these when he was bleeding to death and had to worry about his wound getting infected. Standing up about to stumble his way out of this mess, the whole world began swooping around him, taking dives under his feet. And that was when Mark fell flat on his face, not bothering to move. Instead he lay there, trying not to inhale dust or bugs and just praying to whatever he could that no one would kill him or hurt him further. Laying there was actually peaceful, at least now he didn’t have to worry about falling over.

Sapphire -

It wasn't until that moment that the Street-Boy fell flat on his face, that my memories finally clicked with one another. Yes, it was quite impossible that I was his sister, since we had just met the other day, and none of us had been anything less, or more, than street-rats. I released the little King from my fake hug, and kneeled besides the other boy. He wasn't intelligent like me. He hadn't figured out the silent riddle that led to figuring out the truth about Ren. He hadn't been able to survive in this harsh world like me, though I doubt that at this rate I'd make do for long. Casting the prescence of the girl who had ruined my false act by trying to help me, I growled frustrated, "I really hate it when things don't go as I plan."

Blood covered the boy, though i had no idea why, he was wounded. I couldn't heal this, it wasn't in my power. Maybe I could drag him to a near doctor, but pay him with what? My eyes landed on my silver bracelet. It was worth quite a lot, enough to treat this wound, hopefully. "I need someone to help me drag him to the doctor." I said, looking at the king with a beg in my eyes. Though he was probably going to save himself, it was worth trying. Raised in a palace all his life, like a bird in a cage, fed to look pretty. If he where to ever escape, stopping to help a fish and and ant... It wasn't reasonable. Yet still... "Please."

Now we weren't a cat and a mouse. It was a bird, a fish, and an ants; the bird that craved freedom, the fish that wanted to fly, and the ant that needed to be saved.-

Arctria hadn't noticed the blood covering the other boy until the girl had mentioned it. She stood and walked to them. "I know I won't be much help, but I did call for my brothers they should be here soon. They could carry him easily between the two of them. It would probably be nicer than us draging him anyways." She was still standing, but after getting a closer look at the other boy he seemed very thin. He couldn't weigh very much, she could see a few of his ribs through his shirt. For the first time since she became a masterharper, she wished she'd paid more attention in the healing classes. No harper was as good as a doctor was, but almost all harpers knew some basic medicines. And she couldn't remember one of them.

((Sorry I have to go. I'll add the other characters in about an hour when I get back.))

Ren watched what happened around him silently; throughout the year since the previous king died, Ren had long since learned that there was nothing safe to say, saying nothing was a wise idea. Of course in that case things were different, but instinct came first to his already dazed mind. Naturally, he just about impaled Sapphire with the knife that remained in his hand throughout everything when he felt her arms around him. Touching, being grabbed... just no. Constantly fearing assassination, Ren rightly jumped at the slightest touch, so suddenly having the girl holding onto him was quite the shock. Do remember that just a few moments ago Mark's foot had connected with his head, and Ren's reactions would be a bit slow. By the time he fully realized what she had said and was going to say something in response, playing along with it all, someone else spoke before him.
From there, Ren both couldn't and wouldn't get a word in, watching as the two girls for one reason or another pretended to be his siblings. Sapphire Ren only recognized after watching her for a minute, and once he did looked away. Ah. What was she doing there...? Mark and her were not a good combination; a bomb and a match. If Mark realized who he was? He would either have to kill the boy or be killed himself, undoubtedly. And Sapphire could -Ren was unaware that she was smart enough to not do that- with a single word give it away. After a moment of thought, the young king wanted nothing more the slap himself in the face; both girls knew. Ah well, at a certain point Ren had stopped caring. So what? Once he was back in the possession of his advisers, it wouldn't matter anymore. There was hardly any freedom there, he probably wouldn't see the outside of the castle for months, if he lived that long.
Blinking a few times as he realized that not only had he been pulled to his feet but Sapphire was asking something, Ren's hesitation was clear. Going to a doctor was a blatant no for him; that was like screaming 'I'm here!' to the world. But still... the street child had a odd sort of sympathy from Ren. His lack of ability to do anything had resulted in the life Mark had live through, and just a few nights ago they had been playing a little game together with Sapphire, and he had received a small gift of bread from him. Leaving him there to die of... some wound that Ren really didn't want to look at, however much he could regret it later, wasn't something he could do.
And then, thankfully, the other girl stepped up to say that her brothers could carry Mark. Ren used that as an excuse to not answer, as usual. Even if he had the advantage of being male, Ren was weak of body and health; he would be of little help carrying Mark. Seeing as the bleeding street-child didn't seem to be in any shape to notice what was happening around him and both the girls already knew who he was, Ren fumbled inside the coat he was wearing for a second. Even if dressed as a street-child as well, Ren was no idiot, and kept several... things with him in case of needed money to bribe someone, or kill an attacker. Drawing out what looked to be just a dirty, small bag of sorts, Ren tossed to it Sapphire lightly. "Not much in there... use it to pay for part of his treatment." Actually, inside that bag as a single coin. A heavy gold piece, which would easily pay for Mark's treatment. No need for Mark to know that he had it though, of course. And the spare change left from it... well, that would be his little thanks to Sapphire for everything.
And now, it really was time for him to go. If he could, Ren didn't exactly want to be near those three for much longer, given that each one of them could ruin much with just a few words. Of course though, Ren could do the same to them; even if he was a puppet in the hands of his advisers, his orders were not ignored by them.

It would be wise not to forget that the bird could eat the ant, and perhaps the fish to.

((Sure, I've got Zaire, N'mec, Tristan, and Zayne. Take your pick.))

-May I ask where is Tristan...?-

[zippyzoo77]

((Tristan is on his way to his sister, Arctria, who is with the other people (Mark, Ren, and Sapphire). Tristan's with Zayne, since they are brothers, both headed to help carry Mark, though they don't know that bit yet. If you want you could follow them or run into them. Zaire's in the stables, N'mec is somewhere where he can be lazy (since that's sort of his thing). So you can really just have your character find any of them.))

Arctria
After about two minutes of waiting, she decided that she ought to whistle for her brothers again. They were much faster runners than this, they should be here by now. She lifted her head and began the drum measures once again. Come. Trouble. Soap shop. Arctria. The same message she had used the first time. If they had been on the other side of the castle they wouldn't have heard her the first time, but hopefully they would be in the front this time. Or maybe they were just walking.

Zayne
"Wow, must be urgent." Zayne remarked to Tristan, hearing Arctria's whistle again. He decided to reply this time, to let her know that they were almost there. Forming the measures of drum code in his head he began his message in the shrill whistle tones that would carry for quite a distance. I come. Two minutes. Zayne. Tristan. The solid tone rang out clear for the message, which was good because sometimes Zayne screwed up on messages like this. He was much better with an actual drum.

Tristan
"Wonder what's going on. I haven't seen her all morning." The worry was obvious in Tristan's voice as he spoke softly to his brother. "The king was missing this morning, I heard the advisors talking about it. There were two murders as well, they seemed worried. A bit out of their usual voice too, all high pitched like little kids." He gave a small laugh as he remembered the way the pair of advisors he had 'overheard' had been speaking. One of the men's voices had cracked twice, they were so funny to watch sometimes.

Zayne
Zayne smiled, it must have been pretty funny to listen to, even if the material had been bad stuff. He wondered if it were another one of their assassinations, but would they really be that worried if the king were dead? And why the murders? Well, Arctria must have something good if she was calling them so much. Just then they came into the small square, identifying the soap shop they walked over. Smiling politely to the owner as they neared.

Tristan
"Where's Arctria?" Tristan whispered, not seeing their sister in the square. She had said soap shop, right? "Let's check the back." He said, going around the corner of the building first. There he saw a very strange sight. Laying on a rock was the king, holding a knife. His sister and another girl were standing next to a second boy, who was covered in blood. "Oh..." He mumbled. Those wounds did not look good.

Zayne
Zayne was the first to really speak. "What's going on Arc? And who are they?" He made a small motion to the girl next to her and the boy on the ground. He made sure his motion did not include King Ren, which could be overlooked by the others, but Arctria would notice it right away.

Arctria
"To tell you the truth I don't know these two. But he is injured and none of us," Her motion did include the king, "can carry them." It was strange that she hadn't thought to find out who these people were, or at least their names.

-Okay!-

Celeste's shoes tapped across the floor as she made her way around the town, holding her notes and minding her own business since she decided to take a break. The you astrologer narrowed her eyes slightly as she noticed the group and she made her way over, keeping her distance and staying silent as she listened to their chatttering. She perked up when she noticed Sapphire and the blonde female decided to at least ask what was going on and why there was blood."Hello."she greeted softly, seemingly startling them with her sudden appearance."May I ask what's going on her?"she asked in the same quiet voice, tilting her head to the side in curiously, her eyes studying them all.

Nickname - Ella or Ell
Age - 16 going on 17
Gender - Fae

Description - Ellena is a skinny and pale blond haired girl blue diomand blue eyes and hands made for archery.She wears comfortable clothing and doesnt care for style. When she has the rare free time in her days, she usually has a decorated bow ((wich is in the picture)) straped on her and a sheath of arrows around her back. Her slik blond hair goes down to the waist. She doesnt care for the silk dresses or the rediculous hair styles. Shed rather be herself, a girl of adventure and bravery. Not a gentle feather that she was suppose to be. Ellena has pale skin eyt she seems to be in the sun most of her time. When she cholses her own clothing, a king or a queen would mistake her for a normal villiager, socializing with others or talking to the young children of the villiage.
Height - 5 6
Weight - 105 pounds
Position - Foreighn Princess

Personality - Ellena is a smart, kind, and brave young girl who doesnt care for the needless luxury a girl of royal would receve. She would like to a be a nobal knight, fighting for a kingdom of many. But since she is a princess, she is forced to try more..elligant percuites. She is very courages in her acts and will do whats best for everyone. Ellena has a special skill in aim with a bow. She can easily shoot a target within 100 yards radius if she sets her mind to it. Seeing the young teen in a dress is rare since Ellena is not the dressy type. She wants whats right for the people, not whats right for herself. Though she feels that the responsibility of a queen would bring selfishness apon her. Ellena doesn get along well with the rich and the royal. She often speaks to the villiagers and the poor. She finds the people who are related to a royal family or just rich in the matter are just childish. Though she finds the knights kind company and the villiagers as friends though some dont take her kindness so easily. She wont fit in with the jesters or the kings or the princes. She belongs somewhere a princess should not.

Ellena Beleives in freedom and peace. She thinks war is pointless and people should just stop being selfish and handle things without the death of their people. She also believes a leader should be nobal and free, not forced to lead. She thinks freedom is something that the people in this world cant grip aswell as her thoughts of the savages who deicided to take a young man or women into becoming a king or queen, where they are a slave with no meaning. They might aswell rip their heart out. Its made out of stone anyway. And than the villiagers are stuck in the mess.

Ellenas past was said to be elegant, but she saw it a living nightmare. At the young age of 12, she rode horses becouse she was forced to. Than she grew fond of the beutifuk creatures that romed the praries. She began to shun the many dresses they had intorduced to her. She became more rebelious and escaped the kingdom at midnight just to look at the wild and wonder if she could run. She mostly felt inslaved.
Looking to take the throne - Ellena is looking to leave what every part of royalty is hers. She dispises being something of a gentle feather.
Crush - looking XD

Sapphire -

I clenched my teeth, trying not to scream out at the little King some nasty words that where flying by in my mind. Not because he was being selfish, or cruel. From the familiar weight of the bag, I could tell what was inside. 'No, I've followed you for almost three days now! I won't just leave you alone because the boy who we played a game with, the only game I had played in so many years, is dying!' the thought screamed out in defiance. I also had my silver bracelet, which was just as valuable as the golden piece that hid inside the bag, enough to pay the treatment! Now I was being selfish, like always. But growing up as I did, you'd also learn to be like that. It also tended to get me into unwanted, tight situations where it makes you wonder how I survived.

But even so... Mama always said I liked things that sparkled. Except, that the thing that I wanted that sparkled now wasn't the golden coin, or a treasure chest, or even all the riches in the world.

I grabbed the bag that the Ren gave me, and gave it to the girl with a smile, looking up at her brothers. "Can you please take him to the doctor?" I took off my silver bracelet that curled around my left hand, and put it on top of the bag. "I hope this is enough. Thank you." I added, my sapphire blue eyes then looked at Ren, a genuine smile like the day we met marked my face. "You know, big brother, I think I'll follow you for a little longer." I think that one day, I'll regret those words, and that if he wanted to, he could easily kill me there. A bird could easily eat the fish, after all. But if the fish were to fly, then would they be considered kin? I got up, hoping that the two boys that had just arrived wouldn't think I'm suspicious or anything. A fish can easily eat an ant as well though.

But since I am the fish, and it's the bird's reaction that counts.-

[ Sapphire totally ignored Celeste coming into the picture xP I figured, she'd be to preoccupied. Also, I know I'm not a mod for thsi RP, but Pocky, I think it'd be best for you to write several paragraphs, or at least a few more sentences. ^^" ]

-Sorry, sorry I will. I'm trying to get rid of my dear stupid writer's block. I thought blocks were supposed to be easy to break! Anyway, I'll be sure to add more in my writing,-
