Introduction
The secret? Magic.
In the year 215 AD Arthur used Excalibur to become king, it was a magical object and with it he knew that his rule would last a long time, unless of course someone with magic more powerful than his own rose up. To prevent this from ever happening Arthur employed a powerful warlock named Merlin to cast a spell that would take the magic from the land. Of course, this magic could not just be destroyed. So Merlin sealed it into six precious stones, sealed it with his life, each stone holding a different element of magic. He warned that if ever the stones fell into the wrong hands they could be used to do the worst things, they would last forever, so forever they must be protected.
Arthur Anumi entrusted each stone to one of his most trusted knights, he kept the Stone of Light Magic.
To Sir Ignis he gave that of Heat and fire.
To Sir Glacies he entrusted that of Cold and Ice.
To Sir Levitas he gave that of Lightning.
To Sir Ventus he entrusted that of Air and wind.
And to Sir Obscurum he entrusted that of Dark Magic.
These stones gave the power that they held to those who wore them, each of the knights had the stone in a necklace that was around their neck on a chain that can not be broken and can not be taken off once the true knight (Most of the time this is the first born child of the previous Knight, when the necklace loosens from his/her neck it is time to pass it on) has placed it over their head.
How was Arthur to know that the powers can manipulate a Knight who is not strong enough to bear them? How could he know that Obscurum would turn against them?
It was a dark night when Obscurum rose to his full power, each knight fought bravely but in the end it was a face off between Arthur and Obscurum. They fought and the roof caved in, Arthur’s trusted Knights found him amongst the rubble, dead, the stone of light still around his neck. Obscurum was never found. Since then nobody has stepped forward to take on the stone of light and the remaining four families, Ignis, Glacies, Levitas and Ventus have passed their secret to the next heir as all have protected Light, it is kept with the Ignis Dynasty.
And now it is modern day England, in a town a few miles outside of London where the wealthy rule. Four rich families reside, they are the descendents of the Knights of the Round. In the last year the first born of each family has emerged as a Knight. But one Knight is missing, the most important, the descendent of King Arthur has been missing since 290 AD when Obscurum killed him and escaped, leaving the stone of Light Magic behind.
Now there are four seventeen to twenty-one year olds who are the current protectors of the stones, they are in college/working as well as being trained by the last protector (Mum or dad) and hanging out with each other. They are pretty much the most popular kids in town, and why not? They are good looking, charismatic and wealthy. However Robert Ignis, father of the current protector of heat and fire and an ex-knight, has recently remarried, he can not say why but he fell immediately in love with Rosa Meadows.
Rosa already has a daughter, who is drawn to the stone of light that is being protected in the Ignis basement. This happens as Obscurum minions begin to appear again, they are foul demonic creatures whose will is to destroy all knight dynasties, will the other Knights be able to train Rosa’s daughter before Obscurum rises again? And resist the temptation to go to his side, due to the influence of their own stones? As well as accept this stranger? And deal with their personal lives?

"I have been meaning to go visit, but..." He didn't want to keep using the excuse of the new additions to the family, knowing that it was starting to sound a little old. "Things have been a little... hectic." He said instead, pretty sure Kato would know what he meant.
"I'll be coming over early tomorrow though, see how rusty you've gotten compared to Tam," He changed the subject quickly to a lighter note, lightly jabbing at Kato's arm.
That subject was soon dropped too as they entered the kitchen, Tamsyn talkng about making food. Usually Henry and the others were the ones to make them food, but they did seem to have alot on their hands today with moving day. It wouldn't do any harm to make themselves a few meals to save them the bother.
"Doesn't sound like a bad idea," He commented as he edged closer to the fridge, "Could even take some up to Juliette and Lucas." He added, glancing at them. "I suppose I have to make some kind of effort as her brother-in-law."
~~~
Lucas couldn't help but grin as she said he could borrow it, now putting it down so that he could actually help her instead of distracting himself with books. He couldn't help but frown at her as she said something about his dad.
"I think it's more of a case of trying to make his new daughter-in-law happy." He replied, though he was unsure whether it was just to keep himself in Juliette's good books. If he could keep her happy, then he keeps his wife happy. Lucas knew all too well that their father did not want to be alone anymore, even if it meant buying some of his love. His frown remained as she seemed to think the new stuff would suit her, seeming a little nervous about the clothes. Girls loved clothes didn't they?
"I'm sure you'll feel more comfortable in them if you tried them on."

Re: [OOC] Arthur's Knights of the Round.
- Age 25
- Knight Older sister
- Weapon Short sword held in a spine sheath.
- Personality Key is utterly smooth and flawless, seeming endlessly cold to anyone she meets. When it comes to family she hates her father and loves her little sister Mai, she feels no regret over the recent death of her father. An outwardly violent person, she will easily fall into a fight; uncaring if the cause is worth the effort. She comes across as a cold hearted goth, evil poised perfectly over her head, few people would approach her for anything.
- Appearance
Long hair falls to her chest, with a long fringe that covers her emotionless eyes; usually she has half up bunches. Her eyes, when uncovered glow the pales ice blue; showing that she is almost blind; rarely does she let them be seen by others, thinking them weak. Her ruby red lips attract attention, though she rarely smiles, they have a richness that many envy. Like most of her family she is short, the top of her head only just surpassing her sisters at 5ft4, with her slender body overly muscled for someone of such a delicate frame. Her every move promotes violence with its predator like movements.
- History Like her sister she was trained from the first time she could move under her own efforts, but soon her father gave over the main interest to her younger sister, appalled at her poor eyesight even when she was younger and she often felt like faulty goods. This however did not put her off her training, simply she trained on her own without guidance, furthering her special techniques that helped her deal with her sight. At the age of 17 she was put into a juvenile correction facility for one year, after beat a man who had come onto her, leaving him at the brink of death in a side street. There she soon became one of the most feared women, her utter ruthlessness uncompromised by where she now was. After 2 years out she was placed in jail for murdering man, the 20 year old had been picking on her sister aged 14 and she flipped, slashing him into tiny ribbons as her rage took over. She stayed in prison for 5 years, failing to get out after her 3 year sentence because of a prison riot she instigated; only now let out to take care of her younger sister. Though she had been informed of her fathers death it took many years for the paperwork to come through, making it almost impossible to find her sister. Months after release she has finally found an address with the right name and is returning home.
(This is a temp character to get Mai posting as I think we need some evil!)
