Gardenia City

Roy still hadn't caught up to her yet. 'Humans are so slow.'[i] She thought, standing there waiting for him. Then someone(Autolycus) greeted her and said he was the 'King of Thieves.' He persisted by asking her why she was here and what her name was. Except she didn't like the way the man worded it. It made him seem old, or from a different era. "[i]Kinuln nael, qiole huyoe tiquk roxazey fiore os wyarde." She mumbled before taking her hand away from him. She didn't sense anything from him, but she could barely make out a mark of his hand. "I am Katsuya Hirano. I am supposed to be a knight." She said turning to face the entrance that she came through to be on the grounds. "I should ask you, what are you doing here human?" She asked, acting snobby and a little annoyed. She hated it when people snuck up on her, only Prince Lyme was allowed to do that. She wasn't in her normal forms, so no one could tell what race she was. They had just assumed she was human, but now she had assumed the man in front of her was a human. He didn't smell like a human, so she did the same for him.

"What is your name?" She asked, continuing to speak English. She doubted anybody understood elfish, which was good if she wanted to say something without them knowing, but she couldn't share if she had ideas and didn't want some other people besides the person she was talking to to know. "Wah." She stretched again, thinking of how she had gotten from Kanavan to this city. It puzzled her, frustrated her. She had been relaxing in her meadow and then she woke up here. She was still getting soaked with rain as it fell. Her hair was sticking to her clothes, which were sticking to her body.

Roy Ametz

Roy's eyes widened. "Princess?" She's royalty? Alone, and dressed like that? But he had no reason to suspect she was lying, or that she was telling the truth, and so it changed little. He turned to look towards the castle. "Yes, that's the place. Care to travel with... Um..." He was suddenly aware that she'd vanished, run off so quickly he couldn't even see her already, and leaving him along under his barrier umbrella.

... Well, fine, if you want to get soaked, he thought, annoyed at her and himself.

Roy headed for the castle, manifesting and removing barriers overhead to keep himself from getting soaked further. Fortunately, the streets had mostly cleared, so no one was around to hear him mutter to himself like a madman. As he continued through the streets, he noted a few things further. Empty stands declaring newspapers for sale, boxes that lit up with the occasional burst of sound and light, but mostly just flickered... Some of the buildings didn't seem especially real either. It was starting to unnerve him. That, combined with the complete ignorance of him by the populace, made him wonder if perhaps he'd become a ghost.

But no. That was stupid. Ghosts weren't real, any more than... Than...

Any more than magic is, right? said a treacherous part of his brain. He sullenly told it to shut up or he'd turn the barriers off.

Either way, he was certain he wasn't a ghost. But that didn't explain what he actually was though. Presumably, the same thing as that girl- She didn't die, which ruled out ghosts. Unless she didn't know she died. Shut up, brain.

Soon, although not so soon that he hadn't nearly exhausted himself with his 'umbrella', he found himself walking down a dark forest path instead of a rainy street. The transition had been sudden, just as the disappearance of any life besides his own had. Before, he'd simply been alone metaphysically, an ignored outsider. Now the only people here were himself and... And...

Outside of a massive gate of black marble, he could see Katsuya and another talking. He felt the same sort of odd remembrance for the other man, an inexplicable comradeship that almost completely vanished when Roy saw him kiss her hand. That cheeky bastard! Smooth, though.

He waved a hand in their direction and whispered "itzuli." A barrier appeared over the heads of the two, hopefully keeping the rain off them. They might notice it as branches overhead were pushed aside and the rain began to slide off to fall off the path. "Hallo!" he called, hurrying up and getting rained on again as he outran his barriers. When he reached the safety of this one, he smiled. "Hello again, miss Hirano. And good evening, sir...?"

Calliope had exchanged her her dirty dress for a black skirt and tank top which were connected to eachother with a hauberk. Unlike she had expected it was quite comfortable and somehow even complimented her figure. The high heels she had been wearing were switched with black boots. The only things she was still wearing were a bracelet and her beloved ribbon. "Now let's try to find some other "Chess pieces",shall we?"

She had been only walking for a minute of two when she saw the gates of a black castle. There were three other persons. One female and two males. The Female quite the beauty,the males weren't bad-looking either. She walked up closer wondering if she would interupt the dicussion they seemed to have. "Well even if don't bother them I'll will be disturbing them anyway since the place I'm trying to go to is the castle and they are standing right in front of the gates." When she had finally closed up the gap between them she had decided to just listen to their discussion for now. She sat down only a meter away from where they were standing watching them like they were the lead actors in an interesting play.

The woman took her hand away from his lips. He found that quite rude for her to treat him in such away when he had been nothing but a gentleman. She then told him her name. "You have two names? You must be a Roman or some easterner. Ive always found it a little too...........extravagant to have more than one name. Then again, your beauty is extravagant so, it fits." He said with a suave smile, his teeth seemed to gleam, even though there was very little light. "What do you mean, supposed to be? Are you a knight or aren't you? If you are, I'd say your a knight of Aphrodite. For only a woman of ethereal quality could have eyes like yours." He said, ever inching closer to her. He slowly walked around to where she had just recently faced. Her next comment was one of the rudest things he had ever heard. He stopped in front of her and looked her up and down. He then sniffed the air around her. "Yep, you must be royalty. Only a royal can think so highly of themselves as to believe any other person they come in contact with is beneath them. For your information, sweetheart, I ain't no human. I'm the son of a god. That isn't a figure of speech, I'm Autolycus! Son of Hermes, God of speed, sportsmanship, travel and thieves. So no matter how blue your blood is, you can't outrank a Demigod." He turned away from her and walked a few feet away from her with his hands on his hips. "Then again." He turned back to her. "I'm sounding exactly like you now. I guess we both need to work on that. I'm not going to though. I pride myself by having the biggest ego in the known world. How could I not when your as skilled as I am. After all, I am....." He did a quadruple back flip from where he was standing all the way to the gate of the castle and landed on one of the small spikes sticking out of the black gate. Both feet seemed to be balancing perfectly on the single spike. His scarf blew in the wind and he looked directly at her. "....The King of Thieves." He then jumped off the fence and glided all the way to her.

When he landed next to her, he turned to her. "As to what I'm doing here......well that's none of your business, little girl." He then suddenly appeared incredibly close to her, holding her hands. "Unless.....you'd like it to be your business" He said with a grin, eyebrows dancing up and down. He was about to continue when an awkward looking man(Roy) waved at them and greeted them. He immediately backed off, not knowing what could happen. He also noticed that no rain was hitting him any more, but it was still raining. He found it very odd. He greeted the lady as if he was her servant. He seemed very nice though. He turned to him. He smiled and grabbed his forearm in a warm grip. "Name's Autolycus, King of Thieves. Well met. You a friend of...uh.......which name do you use as your casual name. I can never figure it out." He said, scratching his chin. "Ah well, it doesn't matter. Since we all seem to have some sort of mark, I believe we are all here for the same purpose. I am a Bishop. Katsuya, you said your a knight. That means.......whatsyourame over here is a...." He turned the mans arm and looked at the mark. "A pawn. I have no idea what any of that means, except that were comrades. Fighting for the glory of.....Black, I believe." he said, still thinking about it.

He was going to say more, when he saw a redheaded woman(Calliope) standing a bit away from them, watching them. He immediately went to her. "Well, fortune spreads her legs for me this day. An other beauty has come into my.......wait a minute." Autolycus slowly made his way toward her, looking very intently at her face. "I know your face........" He examined her even closer, his eyes then lit up. "Calliope! Apollo's girl! It's been awhile. Last time I saw you, you were pining after that one mortal. What was his name? Adndrocles? Ajax? Atraxis? Anyways, I hope there's no hard feelings about Pyrois. It was only one of your dads horses....and he got them back." he said in a friendly manner. He then stopped and looked at her. "Calliope....what are you doing here? And.....what are you wearing?"

Calliope showed him a bright smile.
"Long time no see,Dear. And didn't you know? My mortal was called Andreas and well,I kind of made him immortal but then dumped him by making a deal with Hades. He cheated on me and you know that I hate it when people betray me. Maybe I'm a little too hard with that but I cant' change my personality even if i would want to. But I guess I don't need to explain to you. You know how easily I'm prickled on that area. What I'm more suprised about is that you didn't know. Since it's the talk of the century between the gods I figured you would know but...seems not. And of course I habor no hard feelings about Pyrois,It's my dad's horse,not mine. So,in a way it had nohing to do with me. And if you ask me he should have cared more for the thing. Then now moving on to the clothing,Next time ask one thing at a time okay? Now I have the feeling that I just keep rambling on and on....." She stopped for a moment to sigh and took a deep breath which she didn't need to take."To be honest with you I'm not a fan of the clothing either,you know I like my clothing to be more ....daring. But the gown I was wearing became dirty and an old man was willing to trade with these clothes ..... "

Deliberately she let a blush came on her face before continuing her talk. She really loved how she was able to completely control her face. It was ony of those skills which came naturally with being a muse. You had to be a perfect artist on every area,acting included. She took a deep breath opened her mounth but then immediatly closed it again. She did the same progress several times to make it seem like she hesitated to tell him. "....Ah.....,it's kind of embrassing but the reason I am here is...Well after my problems with my mortal,I realized just how much of a gentlemen you were and I know that this is going to sound cheesy but I can't put it in anyother way." For a moment she was quit to give the words she was going to say next more impact. She really loved acting."I..I...I am afraid that I have fallen for your overflowing charms and while searching for you to confess my love I ended up here.....Hahaha,Don't worry that was just a joke. Even though I would love to have a romance with you that isn't the reason why I'm here." She showed the crest on the palm on her hand,the crest of a queen. "I have also been chosen,Who are your friends ?" she said with a look at them "Mortals? My name is Calliope by the way." Those words had been directed at the other two who were with Autolycus

Roy Ametz

Roy looked between the two, the newcomer and the cloaked man, confused. Their names were very familiar to one educated in the classical style, but... "Er, excuse me," he asked, certain he'd heard wrong. "Did you just say Autolycus? King of thieves, stole entire herds of animals, taught Herakles how to throw down?" He forced his tone to be light. "And... Calliope? Homer's Muse? Surely, this is some kind of a jest?" He looked between them, as they talked of things that were surely just mythical. Or, so he would have thought. "Aha, you're... You're not joking. Aha." Well, there goes all reason and sanity. Myths and legends walk among us. Of course, Roy himself was dead, so he supposed he shouldn't be too surprised.

He cleared his throat, aware that his face was probably reddening. That's right, Roy, make a fool of yourself in front of two young ladies... Such a gentleman you are. I just need some time to figure this new situation out, that's all. "Ah, my apologies... I am Roy Ametz, of London. Er, I suppose you'd never have heard of it, considering your time period..." He racked his brain. The Romans had conquered Britain, but had the Greeks even known of it? Years on the streets had reduced his knowledge, but he was pretty sure the answer was 'no'.

Calliope looked at the one who had introduced himself as Roy Ametz. "Yes,I'm Homer's Muse,But Sweetheart of course I know where Brittain lays, how would I otherwise have been able to inspire Shakespeare and go annoy him everyday. Well I annoyed him in the beginning but in the end he treated me like his sister and he offered me a romance.....I should have made him immortal instead of Andreas,At least he was a gentlemen,had talent and actually loved me. That's not something you can say about Andreas."

'Greek legends?' She thought, sitting down in mid-air and thinking to herself before she asked out loud, "What are these... Greeks you speak of? Are they a type of dessert?" She crossed her legs and looked at each one of them before going back to think about what Autolycus said.

'A Demigod? What the hell was a Demigod?' Katsuya sighed, giving up the matter. Humans were confusing to her, but Elfish might be confusing to the humans, so all was fair. She pushed the air around her to turn to face the girl with red hair and odd clothing(Calliope) and Autolycus. "To let you know, Katsuya is my first name," she said blankly before continuing. "Also, I'm don't know of 'Westerners' or any of the like." She switched to laying on her stomach, again still floating in the air. "I am the proud Elven Princess of Kanavan." She giggled, finally noticing the rain was no longer falling on her again.

Then what everyone was calling the girl finally made through her thick skull. "What is a 'Homer's Muse?'" Katsuya asked impatiently, hating being left out. Again, humans were getting on her nerves, along with the... Demigod and Muse. She sat there silently, her blue eyes illuminating in a bolt of lightning that flashed suddenly. The weather seemed to be calming down, but ferocious still, dragging it out.

As he entered the room, from first impressions, it seemed to be just a normal room. There was nothing particulary extraordinary, there was a full-size bed, a closet, and a door that he can only assume leads to a bathroom of sorts. The bed though beckoned him, he felt weary, a nice relaxing nap could be what Adrian needs. After all he hasn't been getting much sleep anyway. When he went by the bed he noticed the closet door behind him was slightly open. I wonder why this was left open? he thought as he touched the door. Before he closed it he discovered a strange object, curiousity taking over, he opened the door fully to unveil a sword. Well, a sword, must be a collectors., Adrian assumes. He then discovered what looked like a long, draping article of clothing. Hm, it looks like its covering something. Adrian proceeds to open the other door. After the matter he discovered a shield, and next to it a cape covering what appears to be a black suit of armor.

Well, whoever he is certainly went all out with the medieval theme., Adrian touched the armor and had a strange sensation as if it belonged to him. He gaze deeply at the attire as the sword and shield seem to emitt signal to his soul as he felt connected to the weapons. What? Ugh, I don't understand a thing about this world, its all so alien..., he thought a bit frustrated, as he closed the closet door. He turned his attention back to the bed as he once again considered falling asleep, then lightning stuck him out of his trance as he looked out the window. It's still raining...is it ever going to stop?, he asked as if he felt this storm has lasted for days. Adrian wandered up to the wind peered out. It was dark and the rain still fierce as he could make out the shape of the grounds, as his gaze wandered he could barely make out, what seemed to be people. They were by the gate Adrian passed on his way to the castle entrance, immediately apprehension over took Adrian's senses. Oh no! It must be the people that live here! I knew this castle couldn't have been abandoned with all of the furnishing and cleanliness of the building. I've got to get out of here! Adrian charged out of the bedroom as he searched frantically thoughout the castle corridors for an escape.

Roy Ametz

Roy shook himself out of his shock. She taught the Bard himself! This more than makes up for my death. Imagine what I could learn from this woman- What the world could...! He shook himself out of that, too. No, no, slow down, Roy. You're dead. No doubt this isn't the same world you're used to. He recalled some degree of his instruction under the venerable Mario Apicello, the one who'd taught him how to use his magic; Something about how there were many worlds, of which his had been just one. While he had dismissed it as preposterous then, who knew, now? But no, more likely this was some different time or place than he had lived in. They might as well have been the same thing. His education, frivolous and obsessed with tradition as it was, would no doubt be next to useless here. It was his street skills that would protect him. Nevertheless, curiosity prompted him to speak. "I'm impressed by that- Tell me, does that mean that the 'Dark Lady' from his sonnets might be-?" He was interrupted, however, by Katsuya.

"What are these... Greeks you speak of? Are they a type of dessert? What is a 'Homer's Muse?'"

Roy turned, surprised. She looked foreign, though. I shouldn't be surprised to learn she is. "The Greeks are... A people, I suppose. In Europe, and obviously in Greece. Once upon a time they controlled much of the known world." He wrinkled his nose. "Mind, the 'known world' generally consisted of a few hundred miles of coasts, back then. And Homer was an author of epic poems, apparently inspired by this lady, the Muse Calliope." He hesitated. "You speak English, though. Where are you from, if you've never heard of the Greeks despite that? They're fairly well known."

He thought he heard, faintly, the sound of crashing movement, but felt certain he was wrong. After all, nobody else was near, right?

(Sorry for the huge delay)


Medusa's grip lessened as she felt the spritiual energy getting less and less yet closer. In such cases it made her grip the chain of her dagger more. Such things could be a supression of energy but Medusa remained unaware that only "Queens" weren't affected by such things. "I better be on my gua-". She was interrupted by the boy who appeared to be stumbling towards the gorgon in terrible way. She looked towards him and immediately pointed her dagger towards him. The weapon followed as he stumbled to her after speaking of what it seemed a command word his weapon. "Sheathing thy weapon to one who doesn't even know my side...nor do i know his... None-the-less we'll find out what he is plan-" again her thoughts went interrupted as she saw the poor boy fall callapse infront her her looking up to Medusa.

"Ah, well...Hello there, names Loki, might I add that you look quite beautiful in the rain..."

He spoke exhaustedly. Medusa gave a gentle blush, It has been long since she was called beautiful or was thought of in such ways. Her savagery back then was the loss to such things and even though the comment back then could be a dire thing since men lusted far more then they do now, it was a different time. She shook her head only looking down at him for the moment.


"You're a brave one..to fall upon me without knowing who am for but .. even if you are for Plenoran, I will let you go none the less" She spoke as she began to kneel down to him until sudden she felt the other pressence suddenly drop and then disappear entirely (Saul is dropped from the RP). She payed no mind as she grasped the boy's hand turning it to see the crest of a pawn.

"Pawn... I see..." She then lifted the boy and herself to her feet then nodded.

"Let us be off..." she said as she walked through the gates to Seramel castle.

(Medusa and Loki have left to Seramel)

She looked around as she walked through the garden, it was calm and peaceful but the flowers were bright even at night. The hall seemed very welcoming as she walked along the steps towards the door. opening it. Making sure he wouldn't thrash Loki around too much or so as she walked into the hall of the castle the bright moon seemed to come right through a stained glass window above them and before she knew it a maid closed the door behind her.

"My lady...?" she said with a pleasant and loyal tone. She looked around seeing white armored knights standing in positions as statues but there was definately a pressence within them. The gorgon looked down towards the maid and nodded.

"I am well" she then moved exploring the grounds of the castle with loki still in her arms. She was honestly in awe from the beauty of the fortress. Even here she came to encounter a garden far more beauty then the one outside. She moved to a bench and sat down holding Loki in her arms however she didn't really pay any attention to the fact she has yet to let him rest. She figured that she would rather just allow him to rest where they were at the explore and carry his body uncomfortably. The gorgon placed his head upon her lap and sighed relaxing and hoping others would show soon as well...

"M...Medusa?....by Coeus! My lady I did not know"

Medusa looked down at him startled by his sudden actions to roll from the bench and kneel in respect. It appeared he was examining her but his eyes stopped just before her face. "Would be a rather common thing to avoid since he recognized me almost instantly.." she thought. Suddenly the gorgon watched as he crossed his legs as he sat looking upon her still avoiding her eyes. She smiled as she was being examined yet the smile wasn't about such matters. It was more so that he possibly didn't know what side she was on. That too is a typical situation if one such as themselves were brought upon this strange world so suddenly. The boy spoke to Medusa in questions. He seemed to have little trust and felt uneasy of the situation none the less.

"You are in this game as well my lady?" A question towards her but said as if meant to be within thoughts. Medusa leaned back taking in the scent of the garden before hearing another question that seemed to be out loud. She leaned forward as she then swiftly brought her face to him. Her hands taking the boy by the chin to face her face as he spoke.

"What rank, may I ask?".

She smiled as her and the boy's face were close. She stroked his cheek afterwards with a friendly touch. Her visor remained over her eyes as she spoke.

"I am indeed in this game hehe but do you worry, my eyes will not activate with my mask... I will speak upon your question though. . ." She said gently releasing his chin and lifting herself back up sitting down with her leg crossing over the other. Once again she took a nice pause taking in the tranquil scent. In addition to the scenery and scent it possibly was also due to the fact that it was quiet as well, unlike the Gardenia which the city was loud. Although waking up upon a park was a little nice, It would've been somewhat peaceful if it wasn't for the disgusting pig who was turned to stone. She continued after the moment.

"I am queen, Loki. - As the rules stated within our minds, we are only able to see the ranks of our force...Sadly if i was this easy to make out then perhaps i must change my attire..." She spoke snapping her fingers. Her visor turned into glasses that still concealed her viscious mystical eyes even though it may seem it didn't and her attire completely changed instantly into black turleneck ,dark navy pants and has her hair slightly tied with purple ribbon.

"Do not fear my eyes, the glasses are still my visor in disguise but you may have to fear if they fall off... I'm not use to wearing such things hehe" she said in a joking tone ending with a giggle towards Loki.

Katsuya hesitated a moment before following Roy into the castle, though she was distracted by so many things. "Hm." She grunted, resting her head in her hand. "I do wonder about these things sometimes." She proceeded, laughing to herself as she went through the giant doors. "Roy?" She asked around, losing him, occasionally seeing outlines of things as her eyes slowly adjusted to the darkness. It was one one of the things she hated more than her fear of drowning, or dying.

The darkness seemed to close in on her, practically suffocating her in it's grasp. "N-No." She charged forward, smacking her head into a pillar. Her forehead had a bump on it and she feel backwards on top of that. "It hurts!" She cried out like a small child who had just scraped their knee. "ROY!" She screamed this time, wanting someone to be there to comfort her and tell her it would all be alright.

After a few moments of silence, she pulled her knees to her chest and started crying. "I want to go home. Back to Kanavan." She hiccuped in between a few words, but she knew that wasn't going to happen. It pained her to think that she would never she her family again. None of the friendly neighbors. None of the Palace Personnel. "My heart truly hearts." She sobbed a bit more, letting her face face on her knees. "I don't know anyone here! I probably won't make any friends!" She screamed angrily, her legs making it quiet so it wouldn't echo. Her body could be seen shaking up and down, and she continued to wail quietly.

He heard voices. This wasn't good it must be the owners of this castle. Adrian's mind racing he was running out of options. Who was he kidding, he was no criminal and he wasn't going to act like one. He may as well come clean.
Adrian moved towards the first voice he heard that called,

"Hello?" he called out, unusually brave for once. "Is anyone there?" The sound of movement was still audible from nearby...


Adrian moved towards the voice and he could see the silhouette of a person. Slowly Adrian crept from the shadows with both his hands raised in the air in a "don't shoot" pose. As he moved into the light of a nearby torch he lit some time ago. "Please I am sorry for intruding into your home...I will come quietly." Adrian spoke towards Roy as he surrendered himself. "There is no need for you too shoot me or anything, I am unarmed." Adrian spoke as he kept his distance from Roy as to not startle him. Adrian then heard crying, that made him felt bad. Perhaps it is another resident maybe worried that I stole something. He felt nothing but guilt but he he oh he was being stupid. Entering another home like this. "Stupid, stupid." Adrian spoke softly to himself.

Adrian surprised was bit startled by Roy's remarks. "No I swear I didn't do anything to her!" "I-I didn't even steal anything from this castle!" Adrian said trying to plead for his innocence. The only thing he was guilty of was trespassing. Adrian then heard Roy make and odd request.

"You have a mark, don't you? Show it!"

Adrian again was surprised by the request and wasn't sure what he meant. Maybe he was talking about his tattoos. "What do you mean my tattoos?" Adrian asked tried to quickly answer the man's questions. "Uh I have this dragon tattoo on my right cheek that shows it's head and it moves down to my back shoulder." Adrian explained as he turned his face to his right cheek in the light to show the dragon's head. "And well I do have this other one but I don't remember when I got it." He turned his face to the other side to reveal another black tattoo. There was the crest of a Rook present on his left cheek. "That is all of the tattoos I have, I swear!" Adrian spoke still pleading. Adrian worried about what might happen next. This woman crying might be his girlfriend or worse his wife. He knows how protective one can be over the one they love. So much so that they would go to extreme lengths to protect them. "Please I didn't do anything." "I was just trying to escape the rain...please just don't shoot me." "I will submit myself to the authorities even!" Adrian spoke tying to make himself sound convincing but at this moment it is all up to Roy on how he decides his fate.

Calliope grinned as she leaned back against the wall,they only had been a minute in the castle but they already had trouble. I just love a good drama,that is if it does not involve people i know. She thought while the grin dissapeared making place for her normal charming smile.
'Roy,Please calm down. Can't you sense it? This person belongs with us,The Plenoran group. See he has a mark on his hand. The sweetheart is so scared that he's as pale as a corpse.
Oh wait you don't say it like that in the English language. It was as pale as a ghost. Sorry,it seems like I've been in Belgium for a little too long.
They always say there "Zo bleek als een lijk." Which means as pale as a corpse in English.
Well,Whatever. Our Cute little lady Katsuya just is a little bit homesick and worried that she won't make any friends.'
She slowly walked towards Katsuya. Calliope knelt before the girl and took her by her armpits so that she could pull her up. Once she had done that she lightly hit the dust out of Katsuya's clothes making sure she didn't hurt her.

Then she directed her words towards Katsuya.
'Sweetie,I am going to be a little bit hard now but I'm sure you'll be able to take it. You're a daughter of nobility,right? So start acting like it!
Honestly,I'm not sure what you're parents were teaching you but I'm quite sure that it wasn't to be this easily discouraged. And why are worrying about making friends? look just how much Roy cares about you,I'm quite sure he already sees you as a friend. And I wouldn't be acting like this if i didn't regard to you as a friend. So that already makes 2 friends.....' Now directing her words towards the one who's name she didn't now yet (Adrian) 'O by the way,you can let your hands down. I doubt the fact that Roy has a gun strongly. Plus this is also your Castle.' She walked towards him and quickly let her eyes inspect the new person. Then suddenly Calliope grabbed his hand while happily smiling. 'Alright we got another hottie in our team! Welcome to Plenoran.'

Adrian was taken back by the woman's sudden appearance. Whoever she was she acted like she knew these people. He watched her take charge of the situation calling of, well, Roy and calming down Katsuya. Adrian watched her walked about as she spoke to him.

'O by the way,you can let your hands down. I doubt the fact that Roy has a gun strongly. Plus this is also your Castle.'

Adrian let down his hands as he watched her walk towards him. He was little bit worried that she might snap at him too. But before he could speak in his defense she immediately grabbed his hand. What is she doing!? Adrian thought as he had a dumbfounded look upon his face.

'Alright we got another hottie in our team! Welcome to Plenoran.'

"Uh...thank you?" Adrian said as he lifted his eyebrow in confusion. When he heard her talk she seemed to know some things he didn't. Perhaps she could answer some questions.

"Um I don't mean to be rude or anything but could you answer me some questions?" Adrian said as he pulled away his "stolen" hand from Calliope's grasp.

"Um what did you mean by it being "my" castle?" Adrian asked, "Also what is this Plenoran?" Adrian asked as he lifted up his shoulders in a shrug.

Calliope raised an eyebrow.
"Are you telling me you don't know? Normally you know the purpose of why you were send here. Did you hit your head or anything?"

She sighed,somewhat tired.
"Well,whatever. Let me explain you. You're in the city named Gardenia.
You are here to fight for the Plenoran side of the city.
This battle takes place every 100 years,It's winners deciding who will rule the city until the next battle. This castle is the base of the Plenoran team. Which you are in. Look at your hand. You're a rook."

Wondering what his reaction would be she looked closely at his face.
