Bird
“Birds have wings; they're free; they can fly where they want when they want. They have the kind of mobility many people envy.”
-Roger Tory Peterson-
Bird sat upon her black and white horse, Kai, walking through the forest of Elyadon slowly with Hawk the wolfdog trotting along at her side. The coin purse at her hip jingled happily with the money that she'd managed to pilfer from some of the wealthier residents of a nearby village. She avoided going into the biggest cities in the kingdom even though she would probably have much better luck making a living. She hated them though. To her, they represented everything she hated. She much preferred the freedom that she had living on her own, going whenever and wherever she pleased without having to answer to anyone for it.
"Alright Kai," she said, leaning forward and patting the horse on the neck. "Let's head to the next village. I don't feel like scavenging for dinner tonight, and I think that with this money we might be able to buy a few decent meals. Whad'ya think?" Kai tossed her head with a quiet neigh, picking up the pace a little bit with Hawk matching her.
When she reached the next village, she stopped just outside of the boundaries, tying Kai to a post and promising the horse that she would be back soon. With Hawk following her every move, she walked into the village. Earlier that day she had rubbed the charcoal from her campfire into her hair, disguising its distinctive white coloring and making her blend in a little bit more. She walked towards the center of the village, keeping her eye out for anyone who might recognize her. It was unlikely, but she preferred to err on the side of caution.

Ethan
"The love of family and the admiration of friends is much more important than wealth and privilege."
-Charles Kuralt-
Ethan sat on a barrel in the stables where his horse was housed, an old, weathered book in his hand. It was a copy of the same book that his father had read to him so many years ago that had inspired him to be a knight. In the same fire that had taken his family from him, his favourite childhood legends had also been lost. When he'd arrived here, though, he'd been ecstatic to find that there was another copy of the book in existence, and that it was in the library of his new home. Whenever he had a few moments when he wasn't working or training or otherwise engaged, he brought this book down to the stables or somewhere else where he could be alone and leafed through its ancient pages.
The knights of the Kingdom of Avalon were the crown jewel of Avalon's army, he read, though he'd practically memorized them by now. Since the splitting of the Kingdom, the Princes and Kings of Avalon have relied on the knights for the safety of all, and they have not been disappointed.
Ethan felt a tug at the shoulder of his jerkin, and looked up to see the soft black muzzle of his horse, Areo, nibbling at the fabric. "Areo, stop that," he said, affectionately stroking the horse's nose. "I know you don't like being cooped up in there, but we rode all morning. Aren't you tired? And I'd really like to get through this book again. It reminds me of them," he said, his voice quieting so that it was almost a whisper by the time he finished. Though the book brought him joy, it also made fresh the wounds that loosing his family had left six years ago. He knew that he should be focusing on moving on and allowing the wounds to heal, but he couldn't bring himself to do it quite yet. With a sigh, he turned his attention back to the book, ignoring Areo's quiet protests.

((Both of them are free to RP. Hope these are okay first posts.))

{ ooh I'd like to rp with ya Mei :3 I have Lucifen, an Avalon maid if you'd like that }

Lucifen || Avalon || Eldest Princess's Maid
Lucifen was wandering about the castle, her hair billowing behind her as she lost herself in her thoughts. She hadn't seen the Princess lately, and it was beginning to worry her. Usually she was called for several times a day before she had any free time to herself. It was odd, but Lucifen didn't think much of it. After all, it wasn't her business, and she wasn't about to go stick her nose in it. Besides, this free time was more than she could ask for. It was a chance for her to unwind, to be free and relaxed for a while. Perhaps I should go for a ride. she thought as she looked out into the green countryside and thick forest, It would do some good to exercise the horses.

Ethan
"The love of family and the admiration of friends is much more important than wealth and privilege."
-Charles Kuralt-
Ethan stood up with a deep breath. He'd just finished the last chapter of the book, closing it gently and getting ready to take it back up to the library. "I'll see you later, Areo," he said, patting the buckskin stallion gently on the nose before heading back to the castle. He walked slowly up through the familiar hallways, lost in his own thoughts as he often was. He made it to the library without incident, walking along the rows of books that he knew so well and putting the book back in its exact spot without having to think about where it belonged. He'd been here so often that he was almost more at home here than he was in his own chambers. He breathed in the dusty smell of the old books once before heading back out into the main corridors of the castle.
As he walked, he thought quietly to himself about his duties for the following day. Wake up, clean Areo's stall, take him out on a ride, sword training.... It was incredible how repetitive his schedule seemed to get. Out of the corner of his eye he saw the rolling hills and emerald countryside that he'd come to call his own. Suddenly, he bumped into someone, not even noticing that the girl had been there before.
"Oh, I'm sorry," he said, looking down at the girl with the blazing auburn hair. "I didn't see you there." After looking at her face for a moment longer, he thought that he recognized her from around the castle. "You work here, don't you? Don't you work personally with the princess?"

((For sure! (: ))

~Arabella, Princess of Elyadon~

"You're the best I could ever hope for," she smiled and kissed him quickly, then turned back to the castle. "I'll talk to my father tonight about it, there shouldn't be any problem, but he likes to be kept in the loop." She sighed and looked back at him. "I really don't want to have ot go up there for dinner," she said solemnly. "I'll just be reminded that my brother's gone and that Tristan's going to be king someday. And when that someday comes, my worst fear will be realized. But, for now, I have to go and find Crystal."

Patch/ Theif-Stable Boy/ Elaydon
Patch smiled at her "Thanks", he returned the kiss with moving her hair behind her ear. "Okay, i hope he says yes to you, i could use the job anyway, so its a win win" he chuckled. He bit his lip at her sigh and jumped off his horse, he went up to hers and cocked his head to the side, "If you not at dinner then i can't think about tomarrow with you secretly" he said, "If they try to remind you just ignor them, and think about how awesome you were today, and get some ice for your hand tonight, it'll swell." he added smirking. He rose his eyebrows "Worst fear huh?, what does that happen to be?. And when you find her tell her to meet me tomarrow mornign in the gubber" he said.

[Just a FYI; we now have two characters named Crystal Swan.]

(ye thats not kool, i have a name twin sis who looks nothing like me!)

[peppersdots]

~Arabella, Princess of Elyadon~

"My worst fear. Being married to someone I don't know and trapped in the life of a princess forever," she said closing her eyes tightly. "I was born a princess, but I will not die a princess! I'm going to find a way out someday." She smiled at him and kissed him again before turning to ride into her vast stone home. "I'll pass the message on to Crystal," she smiled. "Will you meet me here tomorrow so I can tell you what my father said?"

Lucifen || Avalon || Eldest Princess's Maid
Lucifen stumbled back a bit, but regained her balance quickly. She looked up at Ethan, scrutinizing him. "Yes I work here, I'm Princess Aria's maid." She informed the young man. Lucifen wondered where she had seen him before, thinking back to all the events she had been to recently. He didn't appear anywhere in here memories, but she was absolutely positive that she had seen him somewhere. "And you are?"

Nickolas Nathaniel Jonathon Charles ~ Prince ~ Elyadon ~ Age 15

~Born when the first star appeared in the night sky,
This boy will never lie.
And no matter how they try,
This curse will not die.~

~But when he turns eighteen,
It has been foreseen,
That the curse will be lifted,
And he will be one of the gifted.~

Nick slowly came to, the world around him spinning like a top. He blinked several times, trying to get his bearings. He was in a carriage, tied up, and lying on one of the musty smelling benches. There was a window, and as he tilted his head upwards to sneak a peek out, the sun streamed through it and burned his eyes, making him wince. The prince tried to loosen the thick strands of rope around his wrists, but they were so tight that they were cutting off his circulation. His feet were bound as well, and he was in such an uncomfortable position that it hurt to move an inch. His back and neck ached, his brain pounding with dread. He could remember the mysterious man all too well, and wondered what his fate was to be. Was the prince going to be slaughtered in the forest where no one could hear him scream? Or tortured for information about the crown? Or held for ransom? The last thought didn't seem as dark, but it didn't help to lighten his mood. The jolting carriage slowly came to a stop and the prince could hear the horses whinnying from outside. The carriage sprang up a few inches as someone stepped off of it. Probably the coachman, who was probably the mysterious man that had kidnapped him. Nick prepared himself as the carriage door shuddered open, a pale face hovering close to his. It was a girl with dark blue eyes. He yelped in surprise as she pulled out a knife. "Who-Who are you?" he asked, his voice slightly shaking. She smiled with a secret behind her eyes, but didn't reply to his question. She stepped into the carriage, leaning down and slicing the bonds on his feet.

The woman dragged him out of the carriage, and he took a quick look around, noting that the mysterious man was no where in sight. He was pushed into the forest, after she gagged him, and led him through the trees with no apparent pattern. He began to wonder if she knew where they were going when they came upon a tower. It wasn't a big tower, but it seemed sturdy enough to house a few floors. The woman knocked rapidly on the stained wooden door, three times, then turned to Nick and gave him another mysterious smile. "My name is Cassia." she whispered.

[ btw - I've added a new character. Her name is Cassia Morsa Zeed. She's a nun. ]

___________________________________________

Cassia led the prince inside, setting him down on a worn, wooden stool. A rather wrinkly man with a eggplant-shaped nose shut the heavy door behind them, locking the twelve or so heavy bolts. Once they were secure, Cassia scraped another beaten stool across the rough cobblestone floor, perching on it in front of the prince. The woman gestured around the small, circular room. Men peered down at the seated prince, some scowling, some seemingly uninterested. But every eye was glued to the prince. Except the man that had bolted the door. One of his eyes was glossed over and stared at nothing in particular. "You, Prince Tristan, have stumbled upon what is known as His Royal Majesties' Band of Protectors. Bop, for short. Each one of us," She gestured at the men around them once more. "Including me, have been.. hired to protect you and your precious siblings. Don't worry, we're completely loyal." One of the men, a short troll-like man, handed her a small purple glass vial. "Ah, thank you, Ferston." she said, gently taking the tube from the man's hairy hands. "Now, if you'll just drink this.. potion, you'll be all set." The woman handed the vial to Nick, watching him encouragingly. Prince Nick eyed the glass warily, but decided that the odds of him escaping from this circle of strange men was not likely, and tipped the purple tube upside-down, all of its contents slipping down his throat. "You may, uh.. Experience strange things. For example, you may be sent to hell for a little while.." Cassia's voice slipped away from the prince's mind as he tipped backwards on the stool. The last thing he felt was heavy arms and hands supporting him, and the present faded once more.


{ DeerInYourHeadlights - I actually think it would be okay for Nick to just be in a comatose state instead of getting kidnapped all over again..

BUT CAAARL!! - Does your character have the traditional Merlin's powers?
