For centuries past there has been a violent and bloody battle between humans and dragons. In this empty battle every dragon that was killed meant an entire village would burn as penance. To avenge that the humans would kill yet another dragon and so on it would go. Generation after generation of humans were taught to hate and kill the winged creatures, they were told that the dragons were soulless creatures incapable of thinking of anything other than killing the innocent. Dragons were taught that humans were violent creatures, incapable of learning or understanding and so the battle continued without any end in sight.
After near a millennium of endless battles a peace meeting was called between the leaders of both the dragons and the humans, victory they realized would never come to either side and so they had decided to end the futile fighting and instead forge a peace that would last just as long. The Treaty of Ceret was signed, promising peace that would outlast the ages.
In the few months after the treaty was signed the humans discovered much about their hated foes, the dragons were discovered to be one of the most intelligent species on this earth, rivalling even humans. Dragons, through their magic have discovered the ability to shift into a human like form with one exception, their eyes for one are usually of an unnatural colour that matches the colour of their scales. In this human form the dragon cannot fly but they still poses their fire breathing ability. Most dragons have used this form to appear less threatening to the humans and to communicate their desire for peace.
A year after the treaty was signed, to mark the end of the battle between dragons and humans and to celebrate the beginning, a marriage was arranged between the two species. In three weeks, on the anniversary of the signing of the treaty, the second prince of the Kingdom of Asiali and the daughter of the Elder Clan of the dragons will be married as, not only a symbol, but a conformation that the peace so longed for by both sides has actually been established.
The daughter of the Elder Clan has arrived in the Capitol of Asiali and even though it has been a year since the treaty was signed, people still harbour hatred, fear, and distrust for the creatures that once burned their crops and slaughtered many of their people, and who are now among them living as ordinary beings. There are many who would do anything to prevent this marriage from taking place, many would even resort to murder. The peace is precariously balanced on the edge of war and if this marriage crumbles so will the foundation on which it stands.

➥ Now before you get into this any deeper I would like to point out my fondness or literacy please, please, please post at least six lines per post. Do more than that and I’ll be super happy! But if you don’t think you can write that much then please don’t submit a form. I am not a mean person and really don’t want to tell anyone that they can’t join but I will if I have to. Writers block is okay but don’t tell me that everyday.
➥ For the characters you will notice there is no from and that’s because I love seeing what everyone comes up with; a form can express what your characters like and that’s just amazing so please, make your own forms! As well if you want to change the face-claim of the character then please just PM me and I will probably change it for you c:. There is limited spaces so I’m limiting the amount of characters to two. If you make more than one character make sure to balance the genders! Please PM me reservations so that the thread doesn't get too cluttered C;
➥ Being respectful to all the role-players is, I believe, one of the most important things. Please don't ignore other role-players when they ask for re-caps or if anyone's open; it's one of the worst feelings in the world to be ignored and I won't tolerate it here. When you are speaking in OCC please be respectful and polite to your other role-players.
➥ Please, please read all the rules for roleplaying that Tess has posted, most of it is common sense so I'm sure that we'll get along great.

❝ｔｈｅ ｄｉｐｌｏｍａｔ❞

[age] twenty|four hundred [dragon] diplomat [ location ] castle garden [ tagged ] open

Fire and ash filled the sky trying to choke out all life from the earth.....the clang of swords against claws......the agonizing cries of both humans and dragons mingling in the air and nothing that Mira could do to stop it. No matter what she did Mira could not budge from her position overlooking the battle, her cries for peace drowned out by the wind and the din of battle. Suddenly a dark shadow fell upon the soot and ash, hovering just above the silver scaled dragon and suddenlyMira felt something come crashing down on her, twisting Mira tried to see her attacker, only to see a glimmer of black scales. "What have you done?!" the familiar voice roared as sparks flew from her father's mouth, images flew before her, all of the destruction and death she had dealt now flashed before her "What have you done?!" he roared again.
"No!" Mira gasped, her breath coming in ragged shuddering gasps as she stared at the ceiling waiting until her breath regained some normalcy. Watching the light of the morning sun spread across the ceiling the diplomat tried to push her nightmare to the further recess of her mind, a practice that over the years had become more and more common for her. At last feeling as if she was more back to her normal self Mira finally rose from the warmth of her bed to get ready for what was to be a very interesting day. It was the day that Kelta of the Elder Clan would be introduced to the court at a banquet tonight as Prince Draco' fiancee, while the diplomat did hope for the best she was nervous all the same for any unforeseen events. With these thoughts swirling through her head Mira began preparing for the day, after slipping on a dress of deep blue Mira brushed the knots from her raven black hair, as a diplomat she felt it best to keep a simple but elegant look.
Stepping out of her room Mira took a deep breath, straightened her posture and headed down the hall the small space making her feel trapped, truth be told though this feeling wasn't as bad as when she had first come here in that first visit she hadn't even been able to stand the great halls they were so cramped. Of course after her multiple visits this claustrophobic nature had somewhat lessened in Mira but there was still only one place in this castle that made her feel comfortable and at peace.
The garden was always a quiet place, a respite from the flurry of activity that was always occurring in the halls of the castle. As the cool breeze washed over her Mira closed her eyes and tried to recall the feeling of flying, she'd been so busy with trying to keep a crumbling peace together that she had overlooked such things. The diplomat was what she was in this life and until she was sure that her father's wish was fulfilled that was not likely to change. As she continued on her walk through the gardens Mira reflected on the events to come. Was this marriage really a good idea? It was pinning all hopes of peace on two young adults and hoping that everything worked out, if it succeeded there was a chance for lasting peace but, if this marriage fell through there was little that Mira could do to stop everything she had worked for from crumbling into dust.

Just woke up | Nervous | in the castle gardens | Open

Sleep did not come to me easily, only months before i was swinging a sword at a target so i could kill dragons, then suddenly i am to marry one. i woke as the sun made its way into my room from a square in the wall that had a colorful window. My eye lids spread open, then i sat up only to be greeted with the silence of my bright room. I sighed deeply the silence had only given me time to think and reflect on the events that occurred. Today i was to be introduced to my bride to be, a dragon, I am nervous mostly because i have never met the young lady then all of the sudden i am expected to marry? I shall for the sake of the sanity of my people but really how well can i fair with a complete stranger? I closed my eyes then sighed deeply again to clear my head of such thoughts i had other things to worry about, Like what i am suppose to wear. I groaned as i tossed my legs off the side of the bed then put my feet on the cold stone floor. I had plans for today already before they were changed for me. I wanted to go out dressed as a common man and interact with the people here. They seemed to open up better when they think your just like them. "i guess that will have to wait." i whispered to my self as stood up then made my way to my wardrobe. I had to be clean, cut, and well dressed for today, but i would go no where without my sword Leon. --- What seemed like ages passed, i was dressed and ready to face today's challenges head on. My sword Leon was strapped to my side in it's sheath. Even though i had taken my time to get ready i still had extra time to spend waiting so i made my way to the castle garden. That place was quiet and welcoming. --- As i walked on the tile that lead all around the gardens i couldn't help but think what if this marriage failed? what then? what kind of chaos would be unleashed then? I sure hope as adults we could make this work for the sake of both of our Species.

Atlas woke up just before dawn, hot and sticky from the humidity. His room wasn't much, it was quite dull to be honest. A simple old bed, a basin for water, and a little wardrobe for his clothes and that was it. The cramped room plus being confined to his human form made him feel very claustrophobic and in an even more irritable mood than he normally is in. It also didn't help make his opinion on the humans any better. Atlas laid in his bed for a bit, thinking about the trip to the castle and tonight's plans, anything to keep his mind from wandering to battle memories. He had been in the thick of the fight for a long time and he had seen more than his share of death. Finally, after an hour of just staring at the ceiling, he got up to get dressed and explore the castle. After pulling on a shirt and breeches, he donned his leather breastplate, greaves, and bracers. He preferred leather over the normal metal armor, it allowed him to move more freely. Then he strapped his scabbard around his waist and slid his sword into it, and headed out of his room and into the castle halls. It was a small castle, though anything the humans created was small in contrast to the dragon, but it was nice. Whenever he passed a human, he would make a point of looking them in the eye with his blood red eyes. No one bothered him. After walking around a bit, he stopped at an open window in the hall and leaned against the wall, looking out over the castle grounds, enjoying the breeze.
