Introduction

The land is seemingly peaceful, with hills and mountains and trees and flowers and bugs and images that fill the heart with wonder and joy. The dark mystical energy from other lands seem to be warded away by this place...there is only one little area in this land that seems to radiate a certain . . . unfamiliarity . . . a certain, darkness, as one might call it. It is a cottage, a cottage in which fresh black and dark purple flowers reign supreme...little other color surrounds. The cottage is made of plain black painted brick, there are two windows from which there radiates no comfort, only the dim flickering glow of candles on a table.

She closed the windows to her cottage softly; making almost no noise at all...as a mere breath of wind softly closes a door. She gracefully walked to a cherry-wood chair and sat herself down by an ebony-wood table. There she sat, her back to the table, she faced a large body-mirror in which she stared. She had long, straight black hair which she kept in an elegant style, she wore a very dark purple nearly black dress that fell to the ground and covered it with its length of a few feet past the feet. Her skin so pale that it was nearly white, she wore a light purple-like color on her lips and a dark eye-liner and shadow. Her face wore the expression of one that cared little, that has seen much, that has done much, that has felt . . . too much.
The Lady called Edenna stood and turned her chair to face the table and sat back down with grace and softness enough that she may be assumed an assassin, which though far from her . . . vocation . . . was a fair statement of her power, though those who have felt her full wrath might consider it an understatement. She reached out her arm and snatched a white piece of parchment that looked as though it had been rolled and then unrolled and patted down. Edenna scanned it once again, and once again, read:


"Come one Come all to the greatest tournament of Riches and Glory held for over a thousand years! Test your worth and skill at the Arena of Blair Ceneval Kingdom!
Rules are as follows: Participants MUST bring 3 other companions for group battling. Individual battling is an additional option which comes off with less wealth. Please note that each battler must possess different skills and technique and that outright sorcerers are limited to one per team though other battlers may have magic of some kind! The tournament takes place forty days from today! Prepare yourself as you must. Please arrive at the Castle of King Ferdinand Ceneval a week prior to start date so that you may be evaluated and the wide array of teams may be whittled down to a more reasonable draw. Thank you, for more information, have your sorcerer send us your questions."

Edenna gave a small tight smile, "Well, I suppose I’m the sorcerer of my team...now to find some companions." Edenna picked up a black umbrella to guard against the scorching sun outside and walked a short distance to Aganon, a town a little northwest of her cottage. 'Here,' Edenna thought to herself, 'I will find at least one . . . of my companions.'


[Feel free to join in . . . you don't HAVE to be on my team or start in Aganon (though someone must) . . . You may be someone creating your own team . . . REMEMBER TO READ THE RULES and comply.]

Character Portrait: Edenna
Edenna played by Edenna
Edenna is a Sorceress who travels realms both intentionally and unintentionally, yet most often without qualms. To cross her is to cross death itself if she dislikes you, or a passable breeze if she deems you less than an annoyance.
Character Portrait: Tyro the Kitsune Tyro is a traveller, wondering aimlessly from place to place in the hope that he can help in the place he arrives. He will be secretive about where he has been and even more secretive about his pendant.

"Aaaaaahhh....." He said as his weary frame sank below warm, scented waters. It was a simple tub but at the moment? Paradise with a hint of lemon in the mounds of bubbles. He slid inside like a fine duvet, letting the water get soaked up by his fur. His muzzle rested on the water line, making small bubbles.

Yep! This was worth the fuss...

Right...Plan, plan, plan...Get out after soaking in here, dry off, wonder around Aganemnon or whatever this place is called then dinner, methinks!. Ah, simple pleasures...As steam wafted towards the ceiling, it seemed to ease him down the drowsy spiral...Not that getting him to sleep was, in any way, difficult. In one way, its incredibly simple for a certain individual to just shut him off like a light...His weapon was by his bed and clothes, reflecting a little of the light from the window in its surface.

Just watching nothing happen until his eyelids close...

# Country of Aganon and Surroundings, 2010-06-04 00:42:07, as written by Edenna
It was a crystal blue day; the sun, a blindingly blight jewel amongst the sea of azure beat upon Edenna's umbrella without relent, trying to penetrate its satin-vinyl skin. The Dark Lady strode over to her stable, each step carefully placed and guided by a sixth sense that could only be described as . . . mystical. As she approached the stone-wrought stables beside her deceptively "spacious" cottage, Edenna tried to calm her thoughts and remember her way through her Frostback Mountain pass to the eastern entrance to Blair Ceneval Kingdom. She had not been to the god-forsaken kingdom since its citizens deemed her unworthy to share their breath. Edenna was cast away from the kingdom from fear on the part of the council members of Blair Ceneval and the King's own daughter. Her name was Shaya Ceneval and she was perhaps the most devious and deceptive creature to ever walk the world of Krine.

Edenna had lived within the gates of the city previous to her unceremonious ejection and had not disturbed any of the kingdom's citizens. Princess Shaya Ceneval was a cavorting demoness (or at least seemed like one) whose values were as distorted as were the colors green and red to a colorblind old man. Princess Ceneval knew that Edenna was a sorceress, but more importantly, she recognized the Dark Lady was a very powerful sorceress. Edenna had held several meetings over the course of her residing within Blair Ceneval in order to advise him and was hold in good moral standing with his highness. Princess Ceneval, who was nothing short of a jealous, short-fused, time-bomb, decided that Edenna was a threat to her inheriting the throne after he father passed into the netherworld. Princess Ceneval threatened the Councilmen into subservience and forced them to vote for removing Edenna from the city permanently. Edenna only mildly complained and left quite complacently, not however, having forgotten her treatment by the people of the kingdom after Princess Ceneval's false rumors spread. Princess Ceneval held Edenna responsible for the miscarriages, deformities at birth, lack of abundance within the crops, and many other "unnatural" and inexplicable occurrences. These unfortunate events had always been blamed on the evil corruption of the Keeper and so Edenna was branded a follower of the dark Keeper of Death in a world when one should only worship the good gods and the Creator of Life.

Edenna had, however, discovered a way back into the city and a way to regain her honor and integrity with the people of the kingdom and in doing so, teach them a lesson. The sorceress had sent a letter to King Ceneval, asking him to send her an invitation to the wide-renowned arena event. Such an invitation was only to be sent by the king himself, and could not be revoked, even by the Council of Blair Ceneval. The invitation overruled all previous charges against the invitee in question, therefore allowing them to participate in the tournament. King Ceneval was happy to oblige as long as Edenna dueled in the name of the King himself; King Ceneval was worried that his daughter planned to remove him from his throne and make herself queen as she tired of waiting for his seemingly far away death. Edenna graciously obliged the king and found her way back into the kingdom of Blair Ceneval.

The sorceress patted her nightmare's nose softly, a slight smile playing on her lips. Her nightmare was of the interdimensional nether itself, she traveled the realms of the universe and came to Edenna in times of need. The two did not have a relationship of owner and object, but of friends. Adrasteia, the steed, had quite happily agreed to aid her friend, Edenna, in her endeavors in exchange for comfort and the occasional delectable treat.

"We shall be leaving to Blair Ceneval now, Teia," Edenna said, addressing her Nightmare with its common nickname, "We must ride swiftly so as to arrive early; we must seek out potential partners for the upcoming battles. Also, remember to avoid being frozen in the cold and baron mountain pass of the Frostback Mountains!"

Adrasteia snorted her acknowledgment and pawed the ground, shaking her head. The pass of the Frostback Mountains was deadly indeed; 'twas like riding through the most impossible blizzard, the wind and snow and sleet ripping at your body and trying to suffocate you. Teia knew the journey would not be the most pleasant, but at least looked forward to the upcoming meal. Edenna shook her head with a slight smile and prepared to mount her glorious steed; what a tournament this would be.

It was a heavy, wet thump as he stepped out after he'd soaked for long enough. He spent a while drying off then changing back into his clothes. A white T-shirt under a black shirt with grubby jeans. Then, he hit the town! Ah! To just aimlessly wonder. He walked out of the inn, already looking out of place in plenty of different ways. He ruffled through his scarlet hair as he wondered further on this mild day.

He soon made it to a small fountain in the centre of this place. He watched the two winged women kissing the heavens spout water from their mouths into the pond. His hands in his pockets, he looks out over the glimmering pool.

They never give them dresses that fit properly...If you can see cleavage, you get paid I guess...
