Belle smiled up to moon as she walked through the quiet town of Albatroviz, she probably would have gotten in trouble by her mum when she returned home, but didn't mind at all! Tonight was beautiful, the town made the sky look even more gorgeous than it already was! When she was around 100 years old, this town was built, and even then, it held such beauty as it does today.

Nothing really was different, and even though it was the town that marked the middle of all the kingdoms, it always remained peaceful. Belle felt happy, since there had been no wars for over 100 years now, all of them, all of the kingdoms for once, were coexisting. She raked a hand over the long, scarlet colored dress, it was made of satin and cotton, and rather puffy at that. She liked it though. Although dresses usually weren't her thing, this one unusually appealed to her.

Belle sighed, looking into the dark rooms of everyones houses. Her high heels clapped against the stone ground with every step, echoing through the air as if it belonged there. None of the crickets minded either, their song played on, just like the air, acting as if it belonged there.

Rei was also out and about in Albatroviz. The town had enough to do that it kept him busy, and therefore, not bored. Boredom was his least favorite thing in the world, just beating out defeat. He hated to lose, in almost everything; swordplay, chess, races, poker, eating, you name it. He wandered aimlessly around the town, for once not bored by it, by simply paying attention to what was going on around him. This place was a center of trade, a center of worlds, and a place where cultures clashed. One could always see Angels and Demons arguing about this or that, or a Werewolf antagonizing a Vampire. Quite entertaining. Eventually, he found himself in a park, and sat down. He watched nature around him, in an effort to stave off boredom. If he was like some certain other demons he knew, however, he would have been going berserk...

She wandered aimlessly through the small part of town, where the houses were. It was close to the ocean, and the huge park, therefore, it made the air so fresh and breezy. Belle could feel the ocean's waves crashing down onto the surface, every-time, a small wave of wind passing by her. It sometimes sent chills up her spine since it was a somewhat cold night, but she overcame that a little while ago.

Slowly, her nose let her breathe in a long, and deep breath. "It smells so fresh, that it's nearly sweet..." Belle chimed happily. A small giggle escaped her lips as she made her way towards the harbor. She suddenly had the urge to see the ships, and the air-ships. It was one of her dreams, to someday ride one across the galaxy of Rosent, and meet many other species, and maybe even the one called 'Human'.

Lithana scowled in disgust.

She had ended up striding through the midnight state of Albatrovis in an attempt to soothe her annoyance. It came from the teachers, oh yes, and how they kept on pestering her on how going out at this time was forbidden. What did they say exactly? Something about dangerous?

She was THE princess. The only real response they received were flying projectiles aimed at their heads and a click of the door.

It ogled her why they would deem Albatrovis insecure. It seemed to be the most peaceful place the world could offer, and if informed correctly, many species took residence in this town after the war her elders took place in. A glare was send straight at the dark castle, situated on a cliff looming over the ocean. How long she was away for, if long, then a good scolding would be taken by her teachers.

She muttered a few curse words under her breath before humming a random tune, taking the shortcut through a large park.

(OOC: *bangs head on wall violently* T_T.... I had written a 300 word post... and...and...aaannddd... IT DIDN'T GET POSTED!!! From now on, I'm copying my posts before posting them... T~T.... sorry if my post is bad quality, I'm in a bad mood now, and I'm really tired, so it's going to be quick...)

Belle looked up to the sky, a bright white moon stared back at her, along with a very petite scarlet colored one that sat by it's side like a faithful dog.

She smiled, and peered over at the park that stood right, you had the perfect overview of the park from here, making the harbor even more fascinating than boats floating over water!

Slowly, her arm lifted into the air, a deep scar stared back at her. She knew how long it was, even though it appeared small right now. The only bit that was visible extended from her middle finger to the wrist. In truth, it reached all the way to her shoulder, and if you had moved her collar over by a centimeter, you could see a part of it on the neck. Quickly, she dropped the arm to the side, pushing back dark thoughts of past memories. She would never, ever, tell anyone of them. Not even her mother. No one. No one would know the truth of Belle's past. Everyone had secrets, right? So then why... why did she feel so wrong about this one... little, secret about her past?

The gash looked like someone had just cut it, even though it had been there for almost 300 years now. That fact scared her so much... what if... someone found out who she used to be? Would people still accept her for who she was? Or would Belle be abandoned, again? A weak smiled tumbled onto her face, her small canines digging into the skin of her lower lip. Belle had been digging her teeth into her lower lip for some time now, and she didn't even realize that blood was gradually slithering down her neck.

"I will forget... time heals everything... I will forget..." with every word, she inhaled a deep breathe, pushing all the thoughts to the farthest part of her heart. "I will forget... I will forget you... I will forget everything about you... I will forget my past... I will... forget you... father... I will forget you... brother... I will forget you... everyone... everyone who used to mean anything to me..." 'This is me now.' she thought, sliding down onto the wood of the dock, 'And a person like me, wouldn't -- no... shouldn't, have memories like those... like mine.'

Viven sighed as she looked out the window. She had to pose for a picture that was going to be put up for all to see. Her long white blonde hair had been curled and her maid had gone a little over board with her make up. It was very bold to put it nicely. She was hungry and she couldn't eat until this stupid picture was finished.
'The sooner this picture is over the better.' Viven thought.

Belle looked down at the park, watching it for a few moments. It was almost as if she were expecting something to pop out of nowhere... a sigh passed through her, as she turned back towards the ocean. Belle listened closely to the sounds around her.

Waves crashed onto the sands, and smoothly pulled back. Crickets whispered together, making their song as loud as an orchestra. Belle closed her eyes, inhaling a deep breath of the ocean water.

Viven felt a sneeze coming on.
'Oh crap.' Viven thought. She tried to hold the sneeze back put it didn't work. She sneezed and the painter glared at her.
"Sorry." Viven said quietly as she went back to her other postion. She was going to keep very still for the rest of this picture. If she didn't the painter would kill her and then he'd die for killing the princess. Tough world don't you think?

She closed her eyes, and began to hum a song. Belle didn't care if anyone came up to her and scared the soul out her, she wasn't afraid anymore... Bell just wanted to be able to tell herself, that the world was a better place than it really was. Just for once... she wanted to know that wards wouldn't eve come back.

Like the Battle of Letton. The Forgotten Battle. A Sea made of Blood. Belle shuffled a little at the many titles of the war, but one struck her the hardest, A Battle where Love only ended in Death. She knew not many remember the battle, lived to see it, or even ever heard of it. Those memories, were one of the many she never dared to find in her heart.

Rei was, at this point, the one thing he hated most; bored. Whistling a slow tune, he ambled away from the park, through the city, and eventually arrived at the ocean. He looked out over the waters, breathing in the salt air and absorbing the sounds of the waves breaking on the beach. This was one place he wouldn't get bored. The volume of his whistling increased, and harmonized with the ambient sounds of nature almost perfectly, and a hummed tune. Closing his eyes, he thought that it was a shame that he could not always feel this contented in the everyday world. He never looked around to see if anyone else was at the beach.

Belle slowed down her humming, she slowly noticed the whistles. But... just for a moment, she just wanted to listen to it. Her mind seemed to allow her, just to let this moment be perfect with the melody.

A smile laid on her lips, Belle's eyes slowly closed... she listened to the music that seemed to play through the air in a perfect harmony.

The moon had appeared, shrouded by fog, and Ceridwen was brooding.
Stars, sparkling from the heavens, shone in her hair, shone in her eyes, reflected her beauty and her suffering.
"Why have I been left here?" she whispered, looking around her. The queen stood in her courtyard, wandered about, touched each leaf on every tree, and still she found no answer to what was haunting her, what had been haunting her for the past eight hundred years.
And then something came, carried on the wind.
Do not despair, my Goddess. came a voice like windchimes. Your time will come.

Ceridwen's eyes snapped open, revealing clear irises tinged with gold. Her long hair, caught in the night wind, strained towards the castle.

She went, then, to find the princess, sweeping through the dark halls of the castle, the ends of her red dress trailing along behind her.
Slipping silently into her daughter's wing, Ceridwen looked about for the girl, and horror came across her face.
Belle, her child was gone.
Making her way to her own wing, Ceridwen tried to breathe. After all, Belle was a girl who could look after herself. She would return by morning.

All the same, she would be found.

----------------

Seraphina Marielle looked all around her and checked her reflection in a nearby shop window, to make sure that her folded wings were hidden beneath the black traveling cloak that shrouded her, hiding her identity from the world. Her silhouette was passably normal, now, though not as slender as she due to the bulk of her wings. But, Mari supposed, the appearance of added weight made her look more average. She would not be recognized tonight, not as the princess of the angel realm. Tonight, she could be anyone. A smile lit up her pale, beautiful face, and she brushed back a wave of black hair, revealing eyes like the sky on the best of days.

With that last precaution, she ventured into the city, but something was calling her somewhere else. She focused on the feeling, and when she opened her eyes, she was on a shore.
This was not what she had expected. There were others here, a young girl and a whistling young man. Mari's heart fluttered with nervous excitement as she beheld them. They certainly weren't angels. Most of the other races of the world were darker, drawn to the night.
Tonight, Seraphina was no angel. Smiling at the thought, ignoring the fear in her abdomen, she made her way forth and sat, the tides lapping at her feet in anticipation of her immersion.
The ocean knew who she was, and this worried Mari. But it would not reveal her identity.
Not for anything.

Rei let his whistleing fade out into the night air. Whistling was one of the best ways to beat the boredom of life, at least for him, and he had become somewhat an expert at it. Of course, it hadn't hurt that he had spent at least 7 years becoming the best whistler in all his kingdom, just so he could have another thing he was the best at. Finally opening his eyes, he looked around to see two people at the beach, a young-looking girl and a person sitting in the waves. He had to ask. "Who the hell are you two?" Politeness was one of the few things he wasn't any good at.

Belle felt a wave of realization crash on her, and she immediately recognized the boy as the demon prince. Quickly, as if it were a natural reflex actually, she stood up and stared directly at him, "I might be asking you the same thing."

Never in her whole life had she met much of the other kingdom's royalties, only once had she visited the vampire's 200 years ago. Ceridwen, the Wiccan Queen, also known as Belle's mother, barely ever let the girl out of the castle. That's why she had always snuck out at night, but her mother hadn't ever caught her.

"But, if you must ask, I am Belle Orenda, princess of the Wiccan Kingdom." Her voice stood proud and strong, but in truth, she was trembling in fear of what could happen

"I am Rei," was all he said. He gave no title, for he had never really cared to much about it. One couldn't be the best in status, because status was something you were born with, not earned. The things he was good at he had trained and tried to be good at. Not his status. His attention drifted away from the girl and back out to the sea, whistling again, this time a much faster song. He had met a few of the other royals, but none of them had really stood out to him. Politics was boring, built of slow moving plans and almost no action. Hell, he paid so little attention he wasn't even sure if there were any wars going on.

Belle no longer felt like being out, fright was filling her. If she went home now, maybe she wouldn't be noticed by anyone when going in. Generally she wouldn't head home for another 2 hours, when the guards were on their 15 minute break.

But... it didn't really matter if she got grounded or something! Right now, there were two royals around her. An angel, and a demon. She had easily figured them out, Wiccan had that sort of power to communicate with nature, and they told her what they both were, and that she should go home. Belle was going to take their opinion. Slowly, and very quietly, she walked off the harbor to try and escape from this scene as soon as possible.

Lithana paused. Were those words she was hearing? She scanned the area with her bi-colored eyes. Maybe she was hallucinating. A while back, she heard some whistling, and before that, a different humming coming from someone else. Was it really dangerous?

"Maybe the town is haunted." she declared in a loud voice. No one was around to hear her anyway. Who would be up and about at this hour?

She made the rest of her way back to the castle in silence. Surely, a long lecture of 'you should be studying instead of performing your irresponsible little stunts' would be handed out. There was no one else she knew of that shared the stupid pain and boredom she went through at the castle. Confined, chained, forced. Figuring out her status as a Demon Princess, she even expected a little bloodshed would be involved. Instead, she was stuck in her own room, ripping out pages and jotting down quick notes. There were reasons why her room had gaping holes in it.

Kicking open the steel gates with an ear-piercing creak, she prepared for the worst and could only wonder if the other royals had to deal with this.

Rei had decided he had been here long enough. He had seen the town, and nothing had really stood out to him. There was more exciting things to do back in the castle, like dueling the troops or exploring the surrounding forests. The trip back took him quite awhile, so he whistled the time away, As he approached the gate, he noticed their state of destruction. Looks like Lith was coming back, too.

Belle was almost to her castle, before an idea came to mind. She smiled, before quickly whispering a spell, "Mask of Solitude." A mask in the shape of a tigers head came into view, floating in front of her. She pulled it to her face, turning completely invisible.

Silently, she climbed over to 30 foot tall wall, having a bit of trouble. This was probably the most brilliant plan that she had ever thought of.

----------------------------------------------

Alexa sat quietly on top of the tree named 'Sight', because it was enchanted with the abilities to see anything, no matter the distance. There wasn't really much to do tonight, despite the fact being that she had so many human friends in many, many, many villages, towns, and cities. A small dragon flew by, completely oblivious to the fact Alexandra was sitting right there.

She sighed, "Why is it that animals seem to never notice me? And whenever they did, always, always.... why... why do they always run away? I have the spirit of an animal, yet they're scared of me!" Alexa puffed out her cheeks with air, and glared childishly at the world. "Hmph. Life's unfair."

Lithana shoved her heel into the gut of her ancient history's teacher before sauntering the corridors of the castle. There was nothing left to do, save for the thick forest surrounding the cliff.

Night didn't take a toll on Lithana, she was rarely tired. She reversed her direction and headed back to where she had come, only to pause. She stared at the figure entering the castle and narrowed her eyes.

"Oh, well look who's back. Where have you been, Mr. Prince Charming?" she muttered.
