"Soledad, your mother would like to-!" Her usual maid, who was only a 50 year-old human woman with wrinkles and gray hair coming out of every crick and nanny of her scalp, gasped when she saw that the young Fire Princess had vanished from her quarters once again. Her maids cheeks pushed up in anger as she stood in a stout position, every part of her upper body perking up. "That girl, she just loves to run away on her own doesn't she, hmph!" she swung her nose up, acting snobby and walking away to the Queen's quarters. As for Soledad, or Sol she mostly preferred to be called, she had run away to the Kingdom of the Humans, studying their every move and sketching them out on her drawing notebook, her sketches so quick that she could make 5 sketches in one minute. She stopped drawing after her 20th, her hand sore as she just stared out at the humans walking around. A little girl was bored as she picked the sand from the small sandbox and poured it down, only to do the same movements over and over again. Her eyes flashed a brilliant blood red and once the girl stopped playing with the sand, little fire people the size of a mouse danced around the hump of sand in front of her. The girl stared in wonderment, clapping as she enjoyed their dance. The little fire ones started swirling together around the sand and made a water lily out of glass, crystal clear glass so wonderful and beautiful. The girl was amazed as she looked around who did it, of course Sol had left by then but she left with a small yet soft smile that was barely noticeable and went over to the abandoned ballet studio only to dance to her heart's content.

Danika ran around the castle, chasing a small mouse that was lurking around, she nodded and smiled when people said hello but she was on a mission! She ran and dodged people along the way, until finally the mouse was cornered and she pounced, catching it in her two hands. She picked it up and smiled "Now what are you doing in a place like this? You silly mouse!" she held it, petting its soft fur, then began to walk out of the castle. The people in the town all knew her very well and she smiled and waved, she asked how the bakers we doing, how the kids younger than her were doing in school, but soon enough she reached the castle wall, seemingly to keep her locked away inside. She wasn't allowed out since her parents highly disapproved the other kingdoms, she sighed and placed the mouse carefully back onto the ground, watching it slip through the cracks never to be seen again. She kneeled there for a moment, wondering where the mouse would go now. Would it go the human kingdom or maybe the one where they do magic like fire or ice. She laid back in the grass then looked into the sky, wondering where she would go if she had the chance to come and go freely like that.

She wouldn't stop. She couldn't stop. She was just concentrating so hard and...she landed it perfectly, Soledad was indeed very successful at what she did. She sighed and calmed herself, stretching before stopping and sat down, taking off her shoes as she put them back in her bag and had her red flats on. Her black coat had a hoodie which is why no one has noticed her. Walking out of the abandoned studio, she looked around to try and see some new faces. New faces meant new drawings which meant drawing out what she felt like. Finding a couple chuckling at their small jokes she sat down on a brick wall not to far away from them, starting with the body structures and then started to take on the shape. After she had down the position and whole bodies, she started with everything around them. Concentrating in her drawing when she finished she found the couple staring at her drawing as she turned her head and gasped, jumping down and turning around to see her. "Oh no, we're sorry, we didn't mean to frighten you...we love your drawing by the way," the woman said as Sol looked at her drawing and tore it out easily, giving it to them. The woman stopped her before she could leave and gave her a gold coin. She smiled and thanked for the drawing as Sol looked at the coin and flipped it around. Going into the alley she saw some poor kids begging for food as she looked at the coin and put her hoodie back. She knelt down and gave them the coin. The kids looked at her and smiled, thanking her as they went to go get something to eat. "Aw, look at her, isn't she generous, I hate nice people," a man from behind with two other guys behind him as he looked at Sol, liking what he saw. "So what's you're name sweetie?" the guy asked. As soon as Sol turned around to glare at them with her bloody red eyes they flinched and backed away, "H-H-Hey! Y-You're that Fire Princess! Yeah!" They scat. Sol started making her way home, going on the boat and making it to the kingdom. A guard escorted her into the kingdom as protocol as the maid from earlier looked at her. "And now what were you doing?" the maid asked, crossing her arms with her chest puffed up. "Drawing...people..." she said softly. She showed her the drawings as the maid was fascinated by what talent she had, yet was wasted because her mother could not accept the fact that her daughter draws and dances instead of worrying about her getting married, heck why would she want to get married anyway? "Tired..." Sol said as the maid looked at her and gave her back her drawing book, walking with her to her room as the maid dressed her in her night gown, out of her royal dress and coat. "Thank...you..." Sol said, bowing her head as the maid curtsied out of her room and she went to sleep, her little pet mouse back in the comfort of its little bed that was one of her drawers. "Where...have you been...Riley...?" The mouse squeaked as Sol smiled and went to sleep.

Lyonner was busying himself with a painting. The sun had just risen, but he had already been hard at work for some time now. The painting was simple. A lone tree, surrounded by water hung on his canvas. It was painted in deep earth toned colors, and Lyon was near completion. He had been confined to his bed by sickness for the last three days, and was happy to be up.

Michael was done painting, and decided to get dressed. He pulled on a pair of tight black pants, and a baby blue shirt. Around his neck he wore a black spiked collar, and a black leather wristband adorned his right arm. He didn't feel like wearing shoes, so opted out of it.

Satisfied with his work, and happy with his appearance, Lyon set off through the castle.

AS we walked along, he looked out the window, observing the beautiful kingdom of Nipton. Trees everywhere, green and full of life. A wall surrounded the castle, which was in fact, a large tree that had since hollowed out. It was many thousands of years old, and the castle had been merged into its structure.

Lyon wandered about, hoping to avoid his parents if possible. He managed to get out of the castle unseen, and wandered the town, soaking in the sunlight and frsh air, happy to be out and about again. His tail swished back and forth happily, and his ears perked up, listening to the hustle and bustle of the city.

Sol couldn't tell whether it was morning or night until she lifted the covers off of her and blink. The sun wasn't up yet but it would be soon. Sitting at the edge of her bed and stretching out her arms she saw that Riley, her mouse, was waking up the same time she did. Sol walked over to her desk and started making a little note. Taking some string and wrapping the note around it, she tied it onto Riley's neck as the mouse looked at her curiously. "Now...wherever you go...maybe you can see other people..." she said softly, smiling a merely noticeable smile. The mouse nodded to her, journeying off to the Kingdom of Nipton once again. Sol's maid came in when she heard her moving around. "My lady, why awake so early?" her maid asked, a little concerned. "The lighting...its good right now..." she said. Her maid walked over undressing her from her nightgown and into a white-red, very simple dress that's simplicity made it very beautiful. The dress itself was white but the red laces and everything made it shine more. The sleeves were puffed and the collar was a rectangle shape. The dress was tightened at the end of her chest and was very lean and flow on downward, long in length. The red middle made it look like a real princess dress. Putting on her red flats, her favorites that she could take anywhere. "Make sure to take Dietrich with you my lady," the maid warned her. Sol nodded, her long hair the same as usual while her bangs parted to the side. So with her guard, Sol sat in the boat, drawing the plants in the mere spark of sunrise. What she liked about this time of day was the change of the flowers mood of a before and after. Wearing her kingdom's coat with the emblem on her right shoulder, she continued to concentrate on her drawing. She sighed when she finished it, showing it to the guard. "That's beautiful, very wonderful indeed. Do you plan to be a painter?" the guard asked her. She stood up and turned around looking to the horizon. "My mother...hates me drawing...or dancing...she hates...everything I do..." Sol said softly, looking down. The boat hit a bump, the current speeding up as Sol gasped, she had lost her balance and was falling over, her guard trying to catch her reached out hand, but she had already fallen in. "Princess!" he yelled, jumping in after her. Sol couldn't breathe, the water was her enemy and the fire was the water's enemy. She was losing it as the current brought her back to the surface as she couldn't swim, her guard trying to catch her. "PRINCESS!" Sol reached out for him but she turned her head and saw the waterfall. She fell back in and out, she couldn't breathe. When she felt the air, she looked behind her and she was falling down, her head going down first. She was reaching out for nothing as she fell in, not knowing where the current would take her.

Alison looked out her bedroom window from her bed. It was dark outside never one bit of light shone here. This place was filled with darkness and hate. You could have heard thunder if you were quiet enough. A forest below this castle,"The Forest of Death." No stranger had ever passed this forest only if they were someone we knew or they had a vampire with them but that would be a hard journey. Even herself,the princess had problems with this forest. It was a barrier to protect the kingdom from enemies,spy's,and people escaping. "I wonder what the world outside is like..." Will it be a foolish land of foolish people or will it be a war place. ..?

Alison laid back on her bed. She was way to tired to do anything. Her red sleeping stood out but it stood out to much didn't it... Her eyes were red with no sleep a horrible thing. The world became dark again and she was now in dream land.

Danika had fallen asleep after a while, when she woke-up she rubbed her eyes slowly and looked around, remembering that she went to the wall to let a mouse go. She got up and fixed her hair, dusted off her dress and was about to head back until she found a big grass stain on it "Oh no!" she said to herself and it was already dark, her parnets would ground her for life! She decided she would go and wash it out at the water fall, she quickly ran though town but bumped into someone along the way. "I'm so so-" she looked up to see her older brother Lyon. She looked at him with suprise "What are you doing out of the castle?!" she asked quitely.

A body washed up. Sol was unconscious with a gallon full of water in down in her lungs. Her pack was still on her and her clothes were still intact but she was unconscious. She didn't know where she was all she knew was that she was still alive but she couldn't wake up. The little mouse she had sent back to journey farther down to another land, to the Kingdom of Nipton, the mouse found her but couldn't wake her up. She squealed and squealed but she didn't wake up. Running upstream and looking around for someone to help, the mouse simply didn't know who to find. But then, she came across a girl, the same girl who let her go the other day. The mouse squealed hoping she could hear her.

Danika had no time to hear her brothers reply when she her ear twitched, picking up a high squeak. She looked down and saw the mouse from before, having a note on his back. She untied it but realized that wasn't the only thing the mouse wanted her to see. "What is it little mouse?" she asked, holding onto his brothers sleeve out of habit.

Omero found himself walking aimlessly among the road. "what is this purpose why do we bother to follow the rules set forth by our forefathers." He walked in silence

Jezebel sat at the table at the ball, crossing her ankles. Apparently, she was the first here. Her parents had ditched her and vanished, so she sat decked in a maroon dress, many layered and new. It was her best so far, but she couldn't care less. No, what was really worrying her was the question of in anyone else was coming. How embarrassing it would be to be the only one sitting at the Crown Royalty table. The Fae sighed, clasping her hands and looking about. No one was really in her age-range about - and so, she pulled out a twig from her sleeve and began to run her fingers along it, snapping off a bit of the end every time she reached it. The pieces fell onto the floor, forgotten.

"What a drag." She muttered, bored. They wouldn't even start with the food or dancing or anything until everyone was here, which, by the look of things, could take a while.

The mouse would stand on two and wave it's arms, finally getting her attention, she alerted to follow her. Riley made sure that she followed as the mouse led to Sol's unconscious and lifeless body. Her heart was beating very fast from hypothermia and the water seemed to gave seeped out somehow but at least she was breathing but rapidly.

Danika gasped at the sight and went over to the girl, rolling her over on her side and hit her back lightly until all the water came out of her lungs and then she ran over to a tree and climbed up it, pulling out a blanket. She use to go on picnics with her mother when she was little so that had blankets about every 10 trees along the water line so that they didn't have to go far. She ran over and wrapped it around her. "You okay?" she asked, slightly nervous.

Sol couldn't even lift her eyes, she was too cold to open them, but she tried opening her mouth and speak. "Cold...its...very cold..." she said, trying to heat herself up with her powers but the water all over her wasn't allowing it at all. She wondered if everyone was looking for her, even her sister and two brothers. Being the four elements wasn't as fascinating as it sounded. As soon as you get used to it you realize that it's not all that worth it.

Danika nodded and tried drying her off with the blanket to help her warm up but it was no use. "I'll be right back!" she said and she ran back home and snuck into a farm, quietly stealing a horse with a saddle and rein. She sat on it and quickly rode back to where Sol was, grabbing another blanket from one of the trees on the way there. When she arrived she swapped the wet blanket with the dry one, used all the strength she could to get her on the horse, and then slowly lead them back to the castle.

Sol slowly opened her eyes, looking at the girl who saved her, noticing her ears and tail. "Neko...you're from Nipton..." she said, her voice still croaked like a frog. After she was dry, she tried heating herself up again but the process was slow. Being the chosen one to hold the element of fire, it had its up's and down's, this was definitely an up. The heat started forming throughout her heart and brain first, heating up whatever was cold inside her body. Slowly getting out of the inside process, the heat started making up what was damaged from the outside. Some bruises and scratches here and there but nothing serious for the meanwhile. "My name is Sol..." she introduced, starting to regain her strength as she held onto the Neko girl, making sure she didn't fall off. "Thank you for saving me, my kingdom will gladly repay you for you're services," she smiled to her, her voice back to normal. Being able to get out of the kingdom and see someone else here was exciting for her. Something that she never thought of doing ever in her life, to visit another kingdom.

Danika smiled at her " I don't need a reward, and it's nice to meet you Sol, I'm Danika, but some people call me Dani or Nika." she giggled. 'I've never meet someone from outside the kingdom you know, it's quite exciting!" she slowly lead the horse to the back gate of the castle and opend it slightly, making sure no one was there "Do you think you can walk?" she asked, no sure if she would be able to sneak in a horse or not.

"Yes, thank you. I say the same to you to about being outside from another kingdom," Sol told her, smiling and still quite a bit excited that she got to get out of her kingdom for once to see new things and new people. Being able to get out of the clutches of her mother was relieving, the bird that was originally caged was now free. "I come from the Kingdom of Elements, Lunars, I am the Fire Princess of that kingdom," Sol told her, she didn't want to tell her her whole story so just an introduction was absolutely fine.

Omero finally makes his way back to his home and his mother and father proced to argue and yell about his carelessness. "You could have been hurt"said father "YOu should be trying to find a queen." said mother. he tuned them out not the first time won't be the last. But something did catch his attention his father mentioned the ball. He ruched past his parents and placed on his finest clothes and in a bag packed lots of clothes and things to survive. This was his chance.

Danika looked in awe "Wow that's really cool!" she smiled "I'm the Neko princess but I don't have any special powers." from the inside of the castle she could hear that the maids and butlers calling for her. She looked back to Sol and whispered to her "There's a secret passage that leads to my room, I'll show you how to get there, but you'll have to find your way back since I have to leave with them for the ball, okay?"

"That's fine, I must get ready as well, but first, may I draw you?" Sol asked, taking out her notebook and pencil. Traveling back home was easy but she wanted to make a memory out of the new friend she made so she would never forget her.

Danika blushed a little and nodded. "Y-yeah sure!" she smiled and just stood where she was, not sure how to pose.

Danika blushed a little and nodded. "Y-yeah sure!" she smiled and just stood where she was, not sure how to pose.

Crouching down, Kekki closed her eyes as she took in a deep breath. Her heart was beating out of her chest. Raising up her right arm, she wiped the sweat off of her brow and then ran her fingers through her hair. She was fair skinned and very thin, but she had a slight sensuality about her figure. She opened her eyes and stood up, raising her arms behind her head. She looked down to the water with a grin, and used all her energy to throw her body down in to the lake. With a big splash, she went under, letting the cool water lower her body temperature. She opened her eyes and gazed around as she slowly swam her way back up to surface, gasping for air. Swimming to the grass area, she fell back with a smile, her eyes watching the clouds dance across the sky. It was about that time to head home. Something she wasnt anxious for. A ball.. A stupid ball which requiered a stupid dress. Her smile turned into a frown. She pushed herself up with a grunt and started to wring out her shirt at the bottom.

"Whyyyy meeeee.." she said under her breath. Kekki took off through the outskirts, taking the quickest way home. She was an outgoing bundle of energy, and usually broke all the rules. She wasn't what you would call "bad" but maybe just a little rebellious. She found herself near her bedroom window. She rubbed her hands together, and jumped till she grabbed a hold of the window ceil. Pulling herself up, she tumbled through the window and onto the floor. "Great.. thanks for the fresh paint!" She looked at her hands as she laid on her back. Covered in paint. She giggled to herself but stopped once she heard her bedroom door open. She laid her hands on her stomach, and tilted her head back. Still on the floor, the image was upside down but the face was too familiar..

"Ehehehe.. hi mom.. t-that the dress?"
"Sure is.. and the touch of paint on your hands will go just well." She said disappointed yet again.

Her mother laid the teal dress down on her bed and quietly walked out. Kekki rolled onto her stomach and slowly stood up, walking towards the bed. She grabbed the dress and held it against her torso, and took a glance in the mirror. Her wet long black hair hung over her shoulder, her bright blue eyes staring back at her. The dress wasn't all that bad.. and the night probably wouldn't be bad either..

Sol started studying her before doing any sort of skeleton of anything. Finally getting the right position, she started drawing her and not that fast for most, but very fast at the least, only being a sketch, she finsihed in the least five minutes and showed her. "I shall take my leave," she looked out of the window. She took in a deep breath and put her hands together, doing a multiple, yet fast hand movement, stopping at one where both hands were intersected between each other. "Summoning, Fire Dragon of the West!" she yelled as she blew out fire from her mouth, making sure none of the furniture or anything was burned, she did a great job by not having anything touch it as a red dragon was sitting in the room, looking at his master and the stranger. "Take me home," she said, the dragon nodding, looking at the stranger in a particular matter, not mad at all. Sol waved back before getting on. "I will see you at the ball," she whispered, riding off.
