Amavain Tyraear
A small figure was seen sitting in a window seal which was part of the castle located in the Kingdom of Eyllisundlin. She watched as the town folk seemed to just be going on with their lives and here she was with her life literally at a stand-still. Just as easily as she was seen she was gone. Her small, now see-through, figure was found looking at herself. She took a step back as she took a deep unneeded breath. There was her real body, but it didn't look itself. Her skin was pale and it seemed all the life had been taken from the body..
Well it had been.
Her spirit was now out in the open, not protected, but not easily seen. It confused her. She looked at the other three princesses. They were all said to be the "Blessed Ones" and honestly she didn't want to be. She didn't want to be princess. She didn't want to be a "Blessed One". And she sure as hell didn't want to be a ghost. With her luck, she was all of these things. How? 'Her' Kingdom, the Kingdom of Baequiaear, wasn't even there anymore it was gone! Her powers..those she couldn't explain, but this ghost thing..it was really beginning to get to her. She couldn't stand it, because people would come in and speak to her body and tell her they missed her when they didn't even know her. They would come in with handfulls of flowers and presents. Why did they care? Why couldn't she just be one of the normal peasants? It would be a lot easier.
That's when she heard a noise, coming from the entrance to the King's part of the castle. Her first instincts was to check it out, so she did. She slowly faded into the air, slowly becoming less and less visible. She was able to think of the place she wanted to go and was there. There she saw four knights. Must have been the four that were given the job of guarding her and the other princesses. Which she found useless, what were they gonna do? Try to run away? She had heard bits and pieces of the King speaking to his wife of how four of the knights were "Chosen" to guard the princesses. She just rolled her eyes and then found herself back in the room where her body was still resting, unmoving. Her cold blue gaze flickered to the door as she saw the knob begin to move. She looked at the other princesses' bodies.
Zarail Cyredeplith
Zarail was rather relieved after the King himself came up to him and told him that he and a three other knights were to guard the castle while he was gone, in other words guard the princesses, he was just relieved it was about that..he thought maybe he had done something wrong. He nodded his head in respect, "Yes, my lord." He said, his voice seeming rather proud and strong. As soon as the King was gone he looked at the other three, Ulrich, Lyvain, and Tzar. "Well, seems like we get to go and check out the castle." He mumbled, trying to sound uninterested but he was beyond curious.
He led the group into the part of the castle where the King stayed, where the princesses were said to be. He had only caught a few glimpses of them when they were..awake. He had to admit, all of them weren't hard on the eyes. That, he liked. But now, there were rumors that the princesses had fallen into deep sleeps like the fairy tales that were told to young children. As soon as he opened the door, he felt cold..as if something was watching him and the other knights. He glanced back at them and then continued on..until he found a door..
The door to the princesses.
He reached down and slowly turned the door knob. He peaked in and then opened the door all the way for the others to see. He looked at each of the princesses. It was said they were "blessed" with powers. He could tell, each had a special quality about them that gave a vibe of Wind, Fire, Water, or Earth. He then saw something else..two of each princess. One was still peaceful in their bed, the other was translucent. "What is this?" he asked aloud, only to get an answer from one of the see-though princesses that had piercing cold blue eyes. "What does it look like?" She snapped, her tone rather sarcastic.
So it was true, the princesses were asleep..and there was another rumor saying their spirits had escaped their bodies. It was all adding up now. That was why the King left..to go find Naharthal the ancient healer in the forest of Lafnyn. So he could have the spirits put back into the bodies of the princesses.
