Masdurett, The Fallen (Closed Permanently)

[passione]

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

Masdurett.
Home of all the monsters and beasts you thought were only make believe.
It is here where your wildest dreams are true, but it is also here that your biggest nightmares are a reality.
On the night of the young princess’s 10th birthday, calamity fell upon the kingdom.
The King and Queen were dead and gone, killed by the demon hidden below.
Dusk has set, the crows have called, The Devil’s War has begun.

This is the story of the young royals who fled from the palace that fateful night.
The story of seven Royals who were soon to be six,
the story of how a world of wonder became naught,
and the story of how the remaining children were to save their home.
Each Royal with a story to be told, and each story to fulfill the Prophecy.

You are righteous for the Royals, or nefarious for the Devil.
One side must perish.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

♔
❝The seven Royals of children’s past,
Gone together, one at last.
The Trapper,
The Seeker,
The Keeper,
The Hope,
The Joy,
The Dreams,
The Heart.
Now in one shell combined,
To stop the evil of nature’s time.
Sound the bells of war,
Ring them loud and clear,
The Devil’s War shall come to pass and none shall become heir. ❞

The Castle
The castle, pearly white in colour, blends well with the serene
landscape of Masdurett. Surrounded by a forest, towns, and mountains,
There wouldn't be a single landform that does not situate near the palace.
The castle houses many personal chambers, most of which belonging to the
royal children, a grand library, the throne room, ballroom, and much more.

A complex labyrinth runs underground as an escape route, lined with torches
and pillars, which leads straight to the garden. Residing next to it through a
thick wall, is the prison block, where offenders would spend their sentences.

The Lake
The lake sits on the right of the forest, and the left of the castle.
A wooden bridge runs directly across the diameter of the lake,
and is overshadowed by several weeping willows that grow along the banks.
The children of the royal family would often hang around the coast,
swim, and even study due to the serenity of the general area.
Several large rocks lay on the marshy coast, allowing some people, such as
soldiers or sometimes the royals to sit and meditate.

The Fields
Studded over with Lavenders and Chrysanthemums, among many other
flowers, the vast fields of Masdurett are easily some of the most beautiful
places across the land. Every morning when the sun rises,
dew clings to each individual blade of grass, causing the land to sparkle
like diamonds. Sunsets are especially breathtaking. Pinks, purples and
oranges collide over the horizon, increasing the contrast between the sky
and the silhouettes of trees from the forest that lurks behind.

The Forest
The forest can be a mystical place when it comes down to a quick stroll.
The suns rays penetrate the dense leaves of coniferous trees and mist
evaporates from the damp forest floor each morning, giving off an
eldritch kind of effect.
Many creatures lurk between the crevices left in the ground, between
the branches of trees, and even behind you when you least expect it.
Of course, deer and squirrels coexist with the monstrosities that they
reside with, but they may be more scarce, as...
Well, everything needs to eat.

The Moon Pool
The moon pool is usually where you go when you want to be alone. However, beware!
On a full moon when the moon hangs overtop the mountain and shines through the
opening, the water becomes charged with magical properties and becomes
unpredictable. All that is known is, good will be good, and bad will be bad.
There are two ways to reach the pool. By hike, or by swimming.
Swimming there requires a 30 second to 1 minute dive in order to reach the
cavern system below, and passes by a reef.
Hiking requires a trek through a forest by a river, eventually leading to a
small tunnel. The tunnel can be considered as a slide, leading straight into
the pool. The stone has smoothed out due to years of erosion.

The Garden
The Royal Garden that situates next to the Masdurett Castle is certainly
one of the best in the realm. Aside from the pearly white gates, lush
grasses and arches of flowers, many other plants sprout and grow,
flourishing into a mass of beauty that compliments the ivory castle.
Among all of these flowers, however, the blue and silver rose bushes that
circle the perimeter off the garden are the most remarkable. They
symbolize Masdurett as a family and as a nation.
The garden was used as a place for the royal children to have their daily
chats and play tag with each other when they were younger. Nowadays,
the garden is used as a special place for grounding and meditating for
some of the royals, simply to rid of stress, or enjoy the beauty of life.

Whatever beauty is left in it, at least.

We run out of the tunnel, our breaths coming out in sharp little bursts. Finally back into the light again,
though now it was the light of the cold, full moon. We had outsmarted the monster and left him running
through the maze of underground tunnels beneath the palace. I turn to my siblings with a smile, my tenth
birthday was almost over. The moon was slowly reaching it’s peak and when it did it would be midnight. I
hug my brother tightly, our parents still had not come out to meet us. Where were they? I knew the monster
had almost caught us and if it was here so was mummy and daddy… right?
I cast my gaze around to my siblings stopping on Allan’s, all of their faces were crestfallen.
“Allan?” I pipe up still hugging him. He looks at me with sad eyes and picks
me up, “Yes Natalie?” he asks hugging me close. My long golden locks
shimmered in the moonlight turning them almost silver.
“Where’s mommy and daddy?”
I feel my brother wince, and watch as he tears up water drops spilling out of his eyes, “Allan?” I ask
placing my hands on his cheeks wiping away his tears with my thumbs, “Allan what’s wrong? All of you,
you all look so sad...”
I start turning my head to face the others, but I was still met with silence, but finally my brother speaks up.
“Mother and Father are sleeping Natalie…” he says in a sullen manner, “Just sleeping…” With a confused look
on my face, my brother sets me down and pats my head, asking the others if they would take care of me, before
walking off.
Per usual, my first reaction was to follow him, but something about the way he looked told me that he wanted
to be alone right now. Turning away from the sad sight I go to Amelia instead tugging lightly on the fabric of
her clothing clinging to her gently.
“Sister… why is Allan sad?” I ask her delicately, completely oblivious as to what had happened, the picture of
perfect innocence.
“Why are you all sad…? I don’t understand...”

❝The Princess's 10th/Flashback scene❞

A heated family gathering is what you would have called it.
It's what you would have called it if spawns of the Devil himself hadn't crawled up from the ninth layer of hell and ruined everything.
Allan, Elle, Amelia, Drake, Estelle and Evan had left their youngest sister Natalie behind as they had prepared a bit of a surprise.

There would have been a feast, some games, the royal children would have even danced for a short time afterwards while their parents sat back and clapped to the rhythm of the instrumentals. Everybody had their best clothing on, Amelia herself, in a blue silk dress. It was her favourite one, with the square collar and frilly bottom. The skirt was quite heavy, but it was nothing she couldn't handle. Evan was in a nice little suit, tailored specifically for him.
He looked like a charming and sophisticated young man, even being seven years old.

Her youngest sister, Natalie, was among all of them, the most astounding with her blonde locks and pastel pink dress.
Her clear blue eyes complimented that pearly smile. Smiles fade, however, and your loved ones die in the bitter end.
There would not have been a better night than this, as the second heir celebrated her big day. The day that marked her tenth year in Masdurett as a royal child. Swapped with a changeling at birth, the true Natalie Masdurett must be having a fine time in Midea.

"Wait here, we will be back shortly, sister."
That is what they had said. They never returned, however,
as they had gotten themselves into a bit of a situation before they could retrieve their beloved sister.

Natalie had entered the throne room to find that her siblings had been bound tightly together with chains, and sat on the floor. Amelia had tried to wriggle herself free from the bindings with no prevail. Her powers were underdeveloped at the young age of twelve. She had only begun her training less than two years ago, and she thought it would have taken another good while before she could master the energy manipulation she was currently working on.

But the King and Queen weren't treated as equals to the rest of the family, as they had been confined to their thrones wrapped in thorn. Amelia couldn't see the pain that must have emitted from their expressions, her back was towards them. Evan and Drake would have had the best view, however, deep within, Amelia doubted that her brothers could keep their eyes on someone that wasn't Natalie, who had just stumbled into the room.

Her mother, Queen Alexandria; her father, King Zachariah, were dressed ever so elegantly as the rest of her siblings had as well.
But now, small holes torn in their clothing where the pricks of thorn had marked with damage, flames of fury burning in their eyes as they were afraid for their children's lives. Bodies writhed and wrists chafed within their restraints as the heirs fidgeted on the floor.

The King and Queen had vowed to stay behind as Allan had freed them, and his siblings from their tight bindings by condensing air around his hands and cutting through the chains. He was to take the rest of the children down the narrow labyrinth that was the underground cave system, and escape with their lives, skin unscathed.
Amelia reminisced, her heart dropping in rhythm with her heavy breaths.

She lifted the heavy skirts of her cobalt silk dress, skidding down the stone-walled tunnels of the underground system.

She trailed just after Allan, and Natalie who was gripping his hand tightly with intentions of keeping up. Amelia felt her eyes bulging out of their sockets as cool air blew against her, the crackling fire of torches that lined the walls taunting her ears in chorus with the echoing of footsteps that sounded from her siblings a few paces away.

The dark and eldritch aura of the devil that lurked behind almost caused her to swivel towards him. She kept going, however, in hopes that Allan would decide to lose him at the next turn.

"Keep going, keep going.
There will be more people to leave behind if you cannot tear your gaze from the death that loiters ahead.
The King and Queen... They said to move. I shall move, I shall live!"
Her mind went briefly back to her mother, Jophiel Elwyn. She was dead, that much was true, and left nothing with her but a little poetic song as she dropped Amelia Skadis Elwyn off at the local orphanage that sat in the country side. She met Elle there, whom had been the only one that easily worked up the nerve to speak.

"A small town that burned down to the ground,
Burned down to the ground, dead and drowned.
Drowned in the flames, the little town was,
'Til all that was left, was ashes and blood."
She repeated the words in her head with her mothers voice, rapidly brushing away tears that could not be seen by her siblings.

It was hard to recall all that had happened for Amelia Masdurett that night, as fear bled from her eyes and her hands went clammy upon feeling her new parents' energies hit a flatline, drowned out by the nefarious, the sinful, the iniquitous, the corrupt, yet she hadn't fully registered that something like this had happened until after they had reached safety.

Upon finally reaching the garden, Amelia stood solemnly as Evan, her youngest brother, wandered off, oblivious to his surroundings. He was a sharp kid, but at this moment, he had decided to prod at the blue and silver roses that sprouted near the white fence gate, perhaps ignorant of the fact that his second parents were just as gone as the first. Soundless tears seemed to track Allan's face as Natalie pleaded him for information, begging to know what had triggered this mass amount of melancholy emotion.

"Zachariah... Alexandria... They had been so strong.
They had given me my strength. They had given me shelter when my mother and father left me behind, and now?
They are gone. They have perished among the stars, never to be spotted until one day I sleep with the dust,"
she thought to herself, Allan's words entering one of Amelia's ears and leaving directly out the other as he left their sides.

Her hands trembled with anticipation and the fear that she and her siblings would be next.
They wouldn't be next for quite a while.
She felt Natalie clutch her dress and fought the urge to follow the young girl's eyes.
She will learn the truth when she infers such a thing eventually. For now, though,
Amelia's eyes were trained upon Evan in the near distance and briefly wondered what it was that currently ran through his mind.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬♕▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

Amelia's eyes slowly opened towards the blue skies of Masdurett,
recovering those repressed memories from four years ago that had just resurfaced. She was really an orphan now, again, at least. But she was glad that she could be alone with her siblings as a group. Puffs of clouds that resembled smoke floated just above her. She kept her gaze on them as she moved her arms out from underneath her head, sprawling out her limbs like a starfish.
Messy waves of her chestnut brown hair weaved around the wisps of grass that danced in a gentle breeze.
The garden was serene as always, and none of her siblings seemed to be here today.

Amelia sighed, taking in the fresh air and once again, closing her eyes, remembering the pile of dust that the king and queen had become. Surely, she wouldn't end up like that.

We did it, we had made it out of the tunnels alive, yet I was still sad. The creature had come chasing after us, and this could
only mean one thing, my parents had fallen. It was evident that everyone had realized this fact, everyone but the second
youngest, my sister, Natalie.
I feel my sister's warm embrace and gently wrap my arms around her, silently, casting my gaze to the starry night sky. There,
I saw two stars shining brighter than all the others. The spirits were toying with me once again, for those were the stars that
my parents had an affinity to, Ede and Draemlir. The star of the royals, the king and queen star. I think back to the time that
mother and father had told me their story.
Origins nowhere near similar, yet tied together by a fate even the Gods could not deny, together forever in the sky, fallen
heroes of the land.
Suddenly, I get pulled out of my thoughts by my younger sister who had called my name. I tear my gaze away from the stars
and down to my sister gently taking her up in my arms, my little moonbeam, as I liked to call her. Just as I was about to open
my mouth to ask her what she needed she asks a question.
“Where’s Mommy and Daddy?”
I feel my heart constrict in my chest as tears blur my vision my entire body tensing. My moonbeam, so innocent, I couldn’t
bring myself to tell her. I tried to keep silent as the little girl, not a day older than ten wiped the tears from my eyes, but
per usual, she was persistent calling my name once again before asking, “Allan what’s wrong? All of you, you all look so
sad...”
I turn to look around at all of my siblings shaking my head in a plea begging them not to tell her, and when her eyes finally
come to rest on me I quietly say, “Mother and Father are sleeping Natalie… just sleeping…”
With those words, I set my sister down turning to my family, “Please watch her.” I say in a bit of a broken voice before
wandering off. I needed some time to myself, I needed to control these emotions raging inside me.
I feel the tears falling slowly down my face. The world had forever lost two great leaders, heroes. I approach the side
of the tunnel the remainder of my family now out of sight, nearly out of earshot. I would be quiet, they wouldn’t hear
anything.
“I’m sorry…” I whisper slamming my fist into the stone wall. I felt warm blood trickle down my fist, I had cut it on a
jagged piece of stone sticking out of the wall.
Little did I know that the scent of my blood would attract the monster chasing us. I fell to my knees and started to really
cry, full out sobbing, it was not a pretty sight, I was a mess.
A few moments later, a chill ran up my spine, it suddenly got cold and… dark. I look up to see the monster who had killed
my parents standing before me right in front of my face.
“Oh you poor child. Mourning the loss of your Mummy and Daddy?” it says in a mocking tone.
Anger and rage started to fill me as I aimed a kick at the foul creature. Unfortunately, the kick only struck open air as
the demon jumped back landing atop the lowest branches of the nearby tree. It grinned at me shaking it’s head as if
disappointed.
“Allan, Allan, Allan... you can do better. Do you not know to control the power that lays deep within you?” It asks with
its face twisted into a foul grimace as it hops down from the tree cutting it’s wrist, beginning to circle me as if I were its
prey. I feel my fingertips begin to glow with a soft light calling forth the air spirits. I was going to borrow them to enchant
my sword, but before I could even draw the weapon, the creature was standing before me it’s claws bared aiming for my
heart.
Unable to react in time the creature’s claws strike me across the chest, but much to my surprise I felt nothing, yet
blood was trickling down my skin. It was the demon’s, it was merging with my blood and forming the shape of the animus.
It took merely a few seconds before the mark was complete. Carefully I run my fingers over it and find that it was purely
scar tissue.
“What did you do to me?” I ask the creature getting defensive, and getting mad. I felt my whole body tingling, but thought
that it was just the rage I was feeling.
Now drawing my sword and successfully enchanting it with the spirits of the air, I dash towards the devil with the sword in
hand, moving significantly faster.
My feet tread lightly on the ground as I aim my sword at the devil’s heart, only to have him catch and stop it with his bare
hand.
“Nothing Allan Masdurett. I merely unlocked your untapped potential.” explains the demon snapping off the tip of my
sword. Immediately, my eyes widened, vision going red with rage. I had never been this wrathful before, in fact, before this
moment I had never known anger. I try to grasp control of my emotions, but it was too late for that. The rage took me over
forcing me to recklessly attack the foul beast that had killed my parents, and making me unable to feel all the damage I had
taken.
Eventually, I collapse to the ground light headed having lost a lot of blood. The normally green grass was stained red under
the light of the cold, unforgiving moon.
“Allan Masdurett, I request that you cooperate with me. I want you to become my vessel.” the creature explains in its ever
soft, and alluring voice. I find myself starting to shake my head.
“If you accept I will spare the rest of your family the burden of becoming my vessel. I want you… but, I suppose if you should
refuse, I could most likely convince your younger sister, the lovely Miss Natalie Masdurett to take your place.”
The devil grins looking down on me covering my body with its shadow. My mind was muddled, yet I had never been so sure of
anything in my life. Looking up to meet the green eyed creature’s eyes, I quietly whisper to it, “Stay away from my brothers
and sisters. Take me and leave them be.”
In that moment, time seemed to stop as the devil whispered into my ear, “You already know my name… now say it….”

An indefinite amount of time passes…

I blink open my eyes and find my family surrounding me. My head was pounding and I couldn’t remember anything that had
just happened. Natalie was… Natalie was crying…
I move to reach my hand up to her, but wince as I do. With a frown Elle gently placed the back of her hand against my
forehead saying, “Do not move, you’ll strain your injuries.”
I feel someone place their hand over mine softly, casting my gaze over to see Estelle.
“It’s alright Elle.” I say whilst raising a hand to pat Natalie’s head softly, she was laying on my chest crying, I had worried
her…
Just as I’m about to speak words of apologies Amelia pipes up, “Allan, what happened to you? We heard your scream and
ran over, but wha-”
My sister’s sentence falls short when I interrupt her, but it wasn’t me talking. I couldn’t move and yet I was sitting up on
my own.
“The demon attacked me. Did something to me, I can’t remember… I’m sorry.” I say in a tone of voice that was slightly
off from my usual. It sounded sharper, more alert. I try to call out but my words equal to nothing, my mouth not even
working leaving them to remain thoughts. Despite the silence, a voice responds to my call, the voice of the devil in me.
“Your body, and soul now belong to me, but I will allow you to keep your mind.” states the demon.
“Let me go!” I exclaim trying to take control of my body, but my efforts were futile. The demon had me in it’s grasp
and it wasn’t letting me go. I wouldn’t give up though, and eventually, I felt something wrap around me causing me to
quiet down. The familiar sound of chains clinked as they wrapped around me causing my conscious to drift into a dream
like state. I didn’t know what was happening, but I didn’t particularly care anymore.
I just watched as my siblings helped me up and took me into the woods. We were camping out until the guards came to
tell us it was safe to return home, but that wouldn’t be for at least three months time.
It was all a waiting game now.

At the camp several things happened, and by the end of the first month the demon had full control over me. I could no
longer do anything without it’s permission, only watch my siblings as they worried for me. During our fights, my powers
would start to get out of control and I would have episodes of violence attacking anything nearby.
Eventually, the constant struggles had forced my siblings to tie me up in fear of me hurting myself. Last time, I had nearly
fallen off a cliff into the river. If Drake hadn’t caught me, I would have died, and all in due course we returned to the
palace where later in the future, a war would take place between the demon in me, and my family, bringing calamity and
sorrows to the kingdom.
It was impossible to know who would win The Devil’s War, but I prayed that it would be my family, and that peace would be
restored to all the lands.

[Arya22]

Lilith entered the tower, her tower. It was just inside the castle walls, near the entrance. Lilith looked up at the hundreds of shelves, all full of books. As she climbed up the stairs, she was climbing up in time.
Down here were the books about hundreds of years ago, when the castle didn't exist and the humans only primitive savages.
Lilith kept climbing.
Later came the books when they had started building villages.
She could almost see the top of the tower.
Now, came the books when the castle had been first built. The first times she had been asked to be their guardian. Their gatekeeper.
Lilith touched foot on the floor, barely breathing hard from the long climb.
Here were the more recent books, of years of peace and prosperity. One book stood out, in midnight blue. It was the most recent book. Of the night the king and queen were killed and the others ran.
Lilith smiled a little as she saw that one. She had been standing in her tower, watching from above. They weren't even able to protect their own parents, and they were one day expected to protect the whole kingdom?
Lilith shook her head as she went to a desk, I'm front if an open book. It was blank. This was the new chapter, the new Era of the kingdom.
Sighing, Lilith sat down and began writing.

Walking out from the dark palace halls, I make my way to wards the gardens. It was a breezy day and
the clouds swirled silently in the serene blue skies. I pass through the blue and silver rose arches, the soft
grass tickling my barren feet which tread upon their green stalks. Under my breath, I hum a song, a gentle
requiem of peace.
These were the good days, the days when all was bright, the sun was shining, and there seemed to be an aura
of wonder in the air. It seemed as if nothing could go wrong.
Having just passed by the small tranquil stream the ran the loop of our palace, I spot my sister Amelia off in the
distance. Holding the ends of my light pink gown, I break into a light jog to meet up with my sibling. I wished
that I hadn't had to attend my meeting, I wouldn't be in a gown if I hadn't.
“Amelia.” I call out coming to a halt beside the brunette.
“Are you busy?” I ask her with a smile, my long gold locks fluttering in the gentle
breeze.

I quietly rise from my chair at the head of the table. The meeting had finished ages ago, but I had decided
to stay for an extra while longer pondering the matters that had been discussed. I let out a heavy sigh as I look
out the nearby window. Outside the sky was blue, and it was a lovely day, to anyone but me that is. I scowl at
the bright sun and slink back into the shadows of the palace moving towards the door. I felt my royal robes cling
to my skin as I make my way towards my room, my boots making soft clicking sounds as they hit the cold marble
ground.
I needed this process to go faster, yeas I was in the body of a prince, and soon to be king, but it still wasn't enough!
His power was still locked away from me trapped in a seal I couldn't break. It was getting extremely annoying. On
my way to my room, I pass by countless servants including Estelle's mother who gave me a brief greeting before going
back to her work. All so irritating!
I storm into my room closing the door with a slam before moving to my bed and lying down growling, but soon the
corners of my lips turn into an upwards devilish grin. It was nearly my birthday and I would take full advantage of
it this year. The night when my powers hit their peak.
