Cendrillon

Rin shot up from her bed screaming. Once again, she had had a nightmare during the night time. She looked around, she was still in her room that was in the palace of Cendrillon. All the memories of the day that her parents had died were stuck in her head, that was what her nightmare was about. All the screaming and the blood. She tried to shake the memories out of her head but they wouldn't go away, they were all just too painful. Rin stood up from her bed and walked over to the door. She was wearing her white night gown as she cracked open the door a little bit and looked around.

Arie turned to face the now open door. what a cute little girl she thought. the she straightened. she had been leaning against the wall, playing with her dagger. watching, waiting for an opportunity to find the dark ones target. This has to be her she thought.
"Its alright. don't worry. let me in, and close the door. it's going to be okay, but there are some things you need to know." She said, coming towards her.
"I'm not going to hurt you. I wouldn't hurt you, but there is someone out there who would and you need protection." She tried smiling; she had heard that that was how you calmed peoples nerves, that that was supposed to cheer them up. Or something like that. "And I may be the only one who can help."

Rin looked at Arie. "Who are you...?" she asked quietly. She opened the door a little bit more so that she could see who Arie was. She had a dagger and it looked as if she had been here for a while. All the memories of the day her parents died were still wandering around in her mind, but after realizing that a stranger was right outside the door of her bedroom in the palace she had forgotten about them mostly. Mostly

"a friend. Of a sort. I'm no friend of the palace but I'm a friend of the people. and if it takes helping the princess to help them, I'm all for it." She began to say more, but paused. "I'm sorry, I can't say anymore while we are out here. You are going to have to trust me." She moved, with lightning speed, and put a notch in the door with her knife. "there, undeniable truth. If I wanted to hurt you I would have done it already." she said, a little too confidently.

Rin backed up away from Arie. Who is this girl....? she thought as she backed up to the window. She looked over her shoulder at the window, it was open, wait, didn't she close it before she went to sleep earlier? Weird.... She looked out into the night and at the full moon then back over at Arie, if she needed to she could jump out of it, she was a powerful mage afterall. But she knew about all the strange creatures that lurked about in Cendrillon at night....

Rin then turned quickly, grabbing her cloak and jumped out of the window. It was about 5 stories up on the ground but because she was a mage she landed lightly on a tree branch. Once she was on the tree branch, she put on her white cloak then jumped down from the branch and ran out into Cendrillon, she had to get away from whoever that was.

Arie ran. She followed the girl out the window, and was nearly caught up to her. It took some doing, so this girl isn't totally helpless she thought, glad. When she was nearing her, she called out :
" Rin. You have no reason to fear me. I'm here to protect you" She tried not to sound menacing, but she knew her voice was scary.
" Look, If you keep recklessly running from even the small protection offered by those palace walls you are going to get in trouble. And I dont mean angry guardian trouble. I mean this entire kingdom and it's people will fall to ruin." She tried appealing to the girls empathy
" Do you want that to happen child?"

Teclis sighed sitting on the cold ground with his legs cross and his arms resting on his knees. His eyes were closed but he could feel his masters gaze on him, always watching for the slightest hint of disturbance. He felt the winds of magic flowing through him, caressing his skin, no feeling in the world could compare to that warm embrace. He felt his body leave the ground and had to fight down his triumphant grin. His master had said it would take months to learn how to levitate, but who showed who!

It had taken him years to master the elemental magic which his master said you had to master before you could move on to the more delicate magic as they were in themselves just more complicated forms. His long black hair flowed freely in the air only confined by the single braid holding it. He could faintly hear his master walking around, the soft swooshing of grass as his robes rubbed against the tiny blades.

He was calm and at peace which was what master said you had to do in order to succeed. New sounds disturbed him, the sounds of falling and than running, but he wouldn’t lose his focus. His master still walked around him, focused only on him. It was so late out and honestly Teclis was tired and wanted to go to bed, but Master was always fickle about making sure Teclis got everything from training.

He heard a somewhat menacing older girls voice speaking about something stupid about the kingdom or something else equally unimportant compared to his training. Finally after a short time he lost concentrated and plummeted out of the air following two or three get to the ground and landing hard on his backside. He felt his anger growing as he was now going to be scolded because of them so he yelled into the darkness.

“Could you two shut up! You are not the only people in the bloody castle; please try to be considerate to others.” He yelled, his anger quickly spent from getting out his frustration on those rude girls. It wasn’t a second after until he felt a something hit him in the back of the head and he yelped rubbing the sore spot and looking up at the perpetrator.

“Not only did you fail, but now rude!” the old wizards voice came out soft even when chastising Teclis but Teclis knew that tone. He looked down somewhat embarrassed and mumbled out “Sorry master..” The old wizard smiled, lighting up his face before tapping his staff on the young apprentices head. “I do not need an apology young one, I believe they do.” At the mention of they he pointed off in the direction of the voices, but Teclis didn’t reply merely sat and watching the shadows. He had not been wrong, they were the rude one not him.

Arie heard a yell from above. A rude one at that.
"Shut the bloody up, you!" she yelled, angry. "We aren't in the dang castle."
Hopefully no guards would hear her. either way it didn't matter. She could hide quickly. She heard footsteps coming, and made a rash decision. She sped up, grabbed the girl, holding her close, and ran, jumping several floors into the window of a nearby castle tower. When she was there, she let the girl down and looked around. there was a teenage boy, and an old man. The older one was a wizard. The younger was cute enough, but looked incredibly annoying.

Rin looked around at the three other people, one she could tell was a wizard, the other was a young boy, who she could tell was the wizard's apprentice just by looking at him. Since she was a powerful mage she could tell lots of things just by looking at someone. She was still wearing her white dress and on her head was her white headband, she was still wearing the white cloak though. She knew that the girl who had brought her here already knew that she was the princess of Cendrillon, but the Wizard and his Apprentice would probably notice after taking one look at her.
"W-where is Len...?" She asked as she tried to hide her face with the hood cloak, even though she knew it wouldn't work. Even though she was a mage, she still didn't like being around complete strangers. She looked out at the window and saw dark figures lurking around the Castle Town. She then turned around to the others and asked; "Where am I?"

"a tower hon. Now sit. and listen. If you dont people might very well die for it, and I will be very angry." Arie turned to the others
"you two as well, listen, we're going to need help." she looked at the older man "I'm sorry, I've been rude. Im Arie, and you are?"
She tried that 'smiling' thing again. It was difficult too, but she had to try. or this kingdom would be lost.

Rin looked around as she held her hands behind her back. Silently she closed her hands together behind her and then when she split them a part and ton of white birds flew out of her hands and into the night towards the main part of the Castle. It was a signal, and only she could do it because of how much of a powerful mage she was. One bird still sat in her hand though as she put her hand in front of her and looked down at the little bird, it was a white, baby bird, and it sat there with it's eyes half closed and half opened.

"I wont hurt you sweetie, Im here to help!" she sighed. this was almost more trouble than it was worth. "can anyone cast, like, a truth spell me or something? Something so she can't doubt my word?" This girl was troublesome, and needed to learn some manners. If she ran one more time it would take all of Arie's self control not to throw a dagger at her. she took three deep breaths and calmed herself down. she is only a girl she reminded herself gently. I have to give it one more chance. I have to tell her the dark one's plans. she had to save the girl. She had to save the girls people. and in turn, her own.

Rin looked at Arie like she was crazy. "I was sending a sign to the main part of the castle about the dark figures lurking around out there.... I already know you won't hurt me, I'm a mage, and a powerful one too.... I can tell so many things about others just by looking at them, for one, if they're lying...." she said. The white birds were a signal that something strange was going on in the Castle Town. "And please.... don't throw a dagger at me...." She pulled the hood of the cloak off of her face then looked at the Wizard and his Apprentice. "I am Rin Kagamine.... the Princess of Cendrillon and also a very powerful Mage..." she said. She was still holding the white baby bird in her hand as she spoke.

Teclis quietly watched the scene with curiosity. The young girls power was horribly pathetic to one who had traveled around with Master for so long. The wonders Master could do were beyond imagining, hell his power was far above the girls, but he had lived longer and had spent every second of every day of his life learning magic from one of the greatest Wizards alive. The girl had no such luxury. He almost raised his hands to dispel the birds but saw that his master had not moved which meant he didn’t want it to be stopped so Teclis lowered his hand.

Master continued to watch his face revealing nothing just watching from behind his glasses, but Teclis was not so quietly “Powerful” he snickered before out-right laughing. “That’s funny. You’re a good comedian princess, but your power is laughable. I guess in this backwater kingdom you are mighty, but compared to Master or me, you beneath me.” It always annoyed him how weak mages assumed they were strong. They had not seen master’s wonders and yet always assumed they were strong. He had visited many countries, had seen numerous mages, wizards, warlocks, and witches and none could hold a candle to master.

Master smacked Teclis in the shin with his staff before turning his head to the princess. He knew who she was, he knew her father and his father before him. “We get you’re a mage my dear, you have said that a couple of times now.” Teclis mumbled something about old men, but the master ignored him offering the young girl a tiny glass bowl “Sweets? It’s an interesting blend of this very peculiar plant from the south called a coconut. Very delicious”

Teclis gave a very softy smile, lifting his hand to brush aside his hair. That was master, never caring about someone’s history. This was a terrible princess, he had met this Antivan princess from the east, and now that was a princess. Beautiful, elegant, refined, and full in the chest area unlike this princess..

Arie thought she was going to explode. "and you made me think you were running from me this whole time!" Her nostrils flared "You led me like a dog!" she took a few deep breaths. "nevermind. Sit. you are in danger. Of falling in love." "and i would love some sweets. You, annoying boy. Quit fantasizing about pretty girls, its degrading, and you already look stupid" she could see him blushing a bit and it was annoying. He was all around annoying but.... still cute. she shook away the thought. she had more important things to worry about.

Rin looked at Teclis with an annoyed face. Her eyes started turning white, she could tell what he was thinking. "I don't like it when people judge me, apprentice." she said as her powers took over her and the powers of past Climas were starting to gather in her.
(yeah and Climas are these type of creatures that can control other people, like what they do, their actions, their thoughts, and what they say, and yeah, they don't exist in Cendrillon anymore because they were all killed, but Rin like has the powers of all the type of creatures that have or are living in Cendrillon, theres a reason why but I'll tell that later in the roleplay)
She was still looking at Teclis as a thought of hers was hurled into his mind. Don't judge me just because of how often I use my powers, and when I use my powers at my fullest As her eyes continued to glow white her powers had actually started to work, her powers made the boy's knees tremble and he fell to the ground. Once she realized that her powers had started taking over again she shook her head and her eyes returned to normal. She pulled the cloak back over her face so it wouldn't happen again. After her eyes had stopped glowing, she couldn't control the boy anymore.
"I'm sorry.... my powers do that a lot.... But I use small amounts of my powers at times, I have never once used my full power, that was only about a fifth of what I can really do." she said then looked at Arie. "In danger of falling in love....? That's kind of.... strange...."
Out of her cloak Rin pulled out her mother's Journal. Her mother had been the most powerful mage of all time, and she had cursed this journal for that what someone wrote in it would happen in Cendrillon's future. She flipped through the pages up until this day and everything that had happened was in it. I haven't read the Journal in a while.... I must've forgotten.... she thought as she closed the Journal and held it in her right hand.
Rin then looked at Arie. "Can we please go somewhere else other than here. Like in the great hall at the castle?" she asked. She wasn't very fond of the wizard's apprentice, and she wanted to make sure Len wasn't worrying about her.

"huh? oh, sorry, I guess that was a tad unclear. long story short:
there's an evil dude and he wants to marry you, to become king and take over the kingdom. Don't worry honey, it's not Len. I know what you're thinking 'I would never stray from my dear love' but this guy has control. over people. and therefore you. you're powers wont affect you. I'm almost immune... because of my- lineage- but even I not quite. He can only control me for about fifteen minuets without taking a short break, its brief but its enough. usually he can go longer."
"Hey, wizard guy, can you put up some sort of barrier? there's some more sensitive information and I don't want it heard."

((Please don’t take control of my characters without asking. It’s rude. I have no problem with you using my characters to try and set your power bar, but ask first or do it so it gives an option. Also careful with mage stuff as it defeats the purpose of the RP if your stronger than the bad guy.))

Half way through her demonstration Nagash lifted his hand and snapped his fingers. Teclis stopped shaking. His master spoke with the same quiet voice “The next thing I shall have to teach you is how to avoid such things young one.” Teclis got back up and wiped his hands on his pants. This reminded him of the time when the warlock had summoned the greater demon, and it had tried to possess him, but like than master stopped it. Teclis looked up at the girl and smiled with full blown mockery “Its not my fault you lack the… assets to be seen as a women.” At the mention of assists he touched his chest mocking even more.

It was true, she had no breast. Her edges made even boards jealous. His master leaned on his staff, and he knew his master did not wish to speak, but felt he had no choice to “Dear girl, I knew that book. Your mother was a good mage, but there are better. In a small country like this every act will soon be exaggerated.” Teclis blinked, she had not spoken of her mother, it must mean that the wizard knew who the book belonged too or read her thoughts one or the other.

Mages were weak thought as far as Teclis was concerned. Mages used only instinctual powers. They lacked the learning that came with wizardry. Teclis as usual was proud of his master. None could compare to his master.

"no. no palace grand rooms. I left Len a message, don't worry, his love for you will lead him here. besides, anyone could be a traitor or a puppet. We're staying here." she turned to the elderly man "that is, if its okay with you, good sir"

((That comment was more for kelly...))

((oh.... nemind. ima go delete that now...))

((sorry))

Rin looked at Teclis. "Your a strange magic user and you don't understand the real meaning of magic. Magic isn't about showing off to girls just so you can impress them or bragging about how strong your magic is. Magic is something of soul and life, and you, I see, have not realized that. I have studied about every single type of creature in Cendrillon and what their magic is, even creatures that your Mentor doesn't know about. I have the power of every creature that steps into Cendrillon, even you and your Mentors power, and only I know the reason why, it's an ancient story that not even your Mentor knows." she said. "And your way of mockery is stupid and foolish, and you are very rude and insulting to others. You need to learn more about another type of magic called manners, try it, it works wonders."
Rin then looked at Arie. "Are you talking about the one with the dark soul...? He's mentioned in this Journal." she said as she looked at the Journal.

"the two of you better quit bickering this instant, or i will hang you from the tower steeple." Arie growled. "And Im not afraid of either one of you. quit glaring. Princess, your magic looks to me to be in nature. young wizard, yours lies in study. they are differemnt. do not compare them. it is like saying your magic skill surpasses my skill with a knife: it can't be measured, and therefore, not be proven. now, a sound wall? please?" she begged, with her eyes, to the elderly man. Please, please have a shred of sense in you...

((Check OCC))

"And how pray tell me young girl, do you know what I know and what I don’t" the old wizard said softly. Teclis was sure only he could see the faint hint of a smile on the corner of Masters lips. It must be funny to see a child maybe of 13 talking to about a wizard who has travelled the world, and been alive since her grandfathers time and saying she knew more about the world when she had never left this small kingdom, but she was young and stupid. Of course he too was like this but what guy would ever admit this.

Teclis started laughing holding his sides "a 13 year old, thinks she knows more than a ancient geezer like Master? Well that’s a high opinion of yourself" She was kind of funny in her tiny prudish attitude speaking of manners she did not have "Manners? you come flying through our window, summoning birds, claiming to know more than my master in his own home, and now we are the rude ones? They don’t raise princess like they do in Antiva. Why don’t you ask the almighty princess to cast the protection spell, since she is soooo strong" his mouth almost starting watering at the memory of Princess Isabelle, but he had a princess to mock so she would come later.
