Kabal-Abdul "Vincent" Pyragni's Story

Misery

Looking around Misery was at peace, it was secure. Doors strong and she felt safe, Bowing respectfully to the Lion Man she glared at Vincent for being rude. He was her only 'friend' do to the fact that not many wanted to socialize with a tiny but frightning strong girl guard of the prince, one who's name was Misery was out of the question. When he looked around the room with a challenge in his eyes she sighed and slapped his back, hard, "Thats enough Vincent, We dont want to restart the war sense its at a momentary peace... I told you the King threatned to send me to the front lines if I let you do anything stupid." She scolded, her voice becoming softer and her face even harder as she said the last part, her cat Minx sat at her feet and hissed at The prince in away to warn him to stop irratating Misery. "And it will be fun, I mean theres no one here who can force us to wear the stupidly formal clothing." She said in a happier tone, she didnt resent the other nations like most other people but it didnt mean she liked them.

It was obvious that Misery felt uncomfertable in her clothing, it was to formal and a maid had pulled her hair into an dispisable hair do, "You have to help me undo my hair!" She complianed before realizing she had slipped into treating Vincent like a friend infront of the others, luckily she didnt think anyone had seen but a few guards and she thought most of the guards looked comfertable with their Princes and Princess's so they were probably in the same boat. "Sorry for treating you like a friend and disgracing you infront of the other royalty." She said in her 'guard' voice, her face blank.

Jackal

Jackal tensed when he saw the Prince who would be matched to his Princess, "I think its to hot, maybe the rooms will be cooler, seems like we are the only ones having probablems with the weaather though...I want to shift, im too tense. You?" he asked his partner Fala, it was cool but to him it was sticky hot but he had trained alot more in the ice part of the kingdom becasue thats where his dragon prefered it, part of Jackal wanted to go say hi to those around him but his face was blank, a skill he had forced himself to learn. If it wasnt for his control of water and shifting into a dragon he would have thought he was in the wrong nation. Somtimes he still did, he was too happy, too sad, too everything if you asked any one he grew up with.

"The Prince of Fire...His guard appears to have a friendship with him, maybe we can get information from her. Well when I say we I mean you becasue you are better at flirting then me." He laughed and patted Fala on the back before his eyes moved to the Princess of Darkness, he admired her for a moment before pretending not to. He knew he had no chance of ever finding someone to love him because of his outrages emotions.

As Sin waited for an answer from either of her guards, she heard someone from another land reply to the Council Members statement, which made her nearly laugh again. "Next, he'll be telling us to leave our doors open" She moved her eyes onto the three who were obviously from the Land of Water and Ice. First she noticed the Princess, whos aura was larger then everyone elses, however her eyes moved to the two guards. The one who had made the comment had a bright almost cheerful blue-ish purple aura, while the other guard, had a deep icey blue aura, similar to the princesses. However, his also held hints of red, which was quite odd. However, as she examined him a little more, getting a clear picture of what he looked like physically, her attention was taken away.
"I haven't received any word of it yet. Would you like me to go and find it?"
Sin glanced in the direction of her guard, Trage before thinking about the question. Of coarse, it would be nice to know where they would be sleeping, however she felt a little bad for asking, as she always did. Though Sin was pretty self sufficient, there was a few things she either couldn't do, or simply didn't like to do.
As she was about to answer, she heard someone on the other side of her burst into laughter, which lasted a good few minutes. She couldn't help but to gaze at him with her bright blue eyes before quickly looking away. She knew exactly who he was. His aura burned like fire around him. It was the prince from the Land of Fire and Electricity. Her eyes then moved to the two guards beside him.
She took a deep breath before turning her attention to her guard yet again, though it was Bujan this time. She gave a warm smile in response to his request, before nodding. "Do as you please." She whispered in a soft voice before looking to Trage again. "It would be nice if we knew where we were to sleep. I'm sure someone might know. Or possibly look on the doors?" She started to look around, however she would not be able to see the doors until she was much closer to them. However, on each door was paper that stated who the room belonged to.
"If you don't mind doing that, then you can do as you please." She added, wondering if Trage was as adventurous as Bujan.



There was two rooms for each nation, and the environment of each room was based on who it belonged to.
The Land of Water and Ice would be a lovely blue/white room of crystal, fountains, and to anyone not from the nation it would seem very cold. However since they thrived in such environment, this would be rather comfy for them.
The Land of Fire and Electricity would be covered in light browns and earthy colors, much like their land. The temperature would be a bit high for most people, but of coarse, they would be used to it.
For the Land of Shadow and Light the room was themed a little differently, since no one really knew that much about either area. The Land of Light, was a room that looked like heaven. The furniture was cloud-like objects that seemed to float while the decorations where of angels and other holy things. However, in the rooms for the Land of Shadows, it was simple. On the ceiling was a painting of the moon and stars, each actually emitting a little light for the room. Everything was cloaked in shadows, however there was plenty of light from the moon to see where you were going. The furniture was a dark cherry wood while the bed and other cloth things were black silk.

Not wanting to become a burden to Bujan yet wanting to help, she just sheepishly smiled and the nodded, jumping up into the air with her umbrella which allowed her to glide and hover over to places while searching. Since it seemed that Bujan wanted to chat with someone else, then it seemed as if she didn't have too much to worry about. She hates seeing it as a competition, but she'es just afraid of the princess no longer needing of her assistance. She looked around while hovering the place, seeing the prince of fire and electricity along with his guard, and the other nations. Eventually, she came across a door that had noted being for the Land of the Shadows, and as Trage opened it, it sure enough had moon and stars on the roof that illuminated the room with dark furniture. She slowly shut the door and hurried back to the princess Sin to report that she had found it. Trage felt eager that she had found it, but calmed down and dropped to the ground onto her feet and with her umbrella still open. After arriving at Sin again, she responded, "I found it. It's just down here, I can show you if you'd like."

Misery

Playing with Her hair Misery looked sad when he walked away, following quitly she sighed and watched the guards of the Water nations princess carfully but her eyes showed the full force of her pain at Vincent being angry with her. When he entered his room she closed the door behind her for a and leaned agianst it. Ignoring him looking at the picture she waited for him to put it away before talking."Im sorry, You know me I have to prove that your father made the right chose by allowing me to stay with you on this trip, I mean look at me Vincent Im more then a foot shorter then you, Im at least five inches smaller then anyone. I dont want to disgrace anyone. Im sorry I acted like that, Im your friend and your my only one please dont be angry..." She whispered to him, her blank guard look had been ripped away and her emotions where raw on her face.

Vincent would know that her letting even him see her truly raw emotional state was rare and it was her way of letting him know she really was sorry. "Im going to go now, Maybe go see if I can fix the mess you made...I wont let anything happen I promise, if I lie may my life be forefit." the last sentence was the same thing she said everytime she left his room, it was a tradition of sorts. Padding lightly out to the main room she looked around, she let her eyes linger on the Prince of Light...She believed his name was Ariston. Looking around she found the Ice Princess she seemed to have lingered.

"Princess Aria, please excuse My Prince...Umm... Wow...Im short" She mumbled the last part to herself. "I really have nothing else to say but he wont kill you, he couldnt no matter how much he wishes he is just to nice and I wont let him... I will leave you now... Thank you for your time." during her small speech her blank look had opened up alittle do you could see the thoughtful look on her face. Misery spun on heel after looking up at her to guards and the was a competive glint in her eyes, she wanted to try to best one because to her it would be the best way to know if she was as good as she thought she was.

Jackal

Jackal had laughed at his Princess's comment about flirting, Eyeing Fala he smirked he was willing to bet Fala would end up flirting with one or more of the girls weather Princess or guard. When he saw the Prince of Fire charge over after what appeared to be an arguement with his guard he tensed but didnt stand infront of her, he wasnt a threat yet. WHen the Prince went on his rant to Aria Jackal raised his eye brows but found himself watching the guard, she was tensed and expectiong but there was suc sadness on her face that he felt for her, he was her friend and she hurt because she hurt him. Sighing he stepped closer to Aira at the mention of killing but the Prince, Vincent, Soon turned away followed by his depreassed guard.

"That was interesting wasnt it?" He said softly and it wasnt more then five minutes when he saw the guard return and
aplogise for her Prince. He smirked at her mumbled comment about being short before he pulled his face into a blank mask, he was intrigued by her but he looked up to see the Princess of Shadows talking to the Prince of Light and he looked at them with intruge, he wanted to know how their relationship was going.

(I added Armana on accident.)

Bujan walked towards the wolf, dog looking man. He paused a moment as the prince of Fire and Electricity was talking with the princess of Water and Ice. The relationship, from what he could hear, did not seem to be on great terms. Those two nations didn't have the petty problems the Shadow and Light nations had, some of them must be hard to over look. Perhaps they would benefit the most in marriage. To create a bond that would cause all past problems to be overlooked.

He would have to put off the chat with the dog man, he won't want to leave his post after that encounter. So, looking around, he looked for other intriguing persons to learn more about. The prince of Fire and Electricity was one of the few options, and his less than frightening guard. Or go back to the others.

Looking back, a woman caught his eye. The guard for the prince of Light. Such stunning radiance, but that seemed to be just about everything. The light shone brightly, which hurt his eyes, and made everything else nearly blinding.

No other option seemed better than this. So with confident steps he went back to the Shadow and Light gathering.

Within normal speaking distance, he said to the guard, "I like to make bets, do you?" He didn't wait for a response, "So how about you and I make one? If this marriage between our nations goes through then we get married also. If it doesn't... well, you can make that one up. It can be anything you want, money, property, whatever you want and I will have to give it to you." The ol' gambling proposition, most of the time he is just rubbed off or he loses, but there is always that chance that he could win and one simple word: jackpot.

First Impressions is what counts....well, that is what is commonly said, but that all depending when, where, and who, since some people find putting their message across easier than others. For Fala, he says how he feels and likes to lighten up the mood, which explains his little comical remarks. It seemed to him that he wasn't the only one that saw the situational comical when he saw one of them burst out laughing, which instantly brought Fala's attention, and it seemed the one laughing was one of the royalty, the Prince of Fire and Electricity, by how he and the female beside him reacted and his fiery red hair. Though unlike Fala, he saw that the Prince meant his comical remark more than him.

His attention then fell back to those of his own, as Jackal commented how he wished to shift and how tense it was, which he completely agreed with. It was tense with all the other Kingdoms round them, not to mention the burden of their Kingdoms on their shoulder, and their duty to defend the Princess, unsure which would be friend or foe with the different nations and their guards. The important thing was, that they stook together.

The problem with fur, was that it heated you up, so you were more accustomed and more comfortable in cooler, colder environments, though being able to shift into their animal form gave them more strength. Glancing round, it seemed he was the only one. No, there was another it seemed, as he saw a man in the distance with wings upon his back, just as he had his ears and tails showing in his human form also. Least he was not alone in that sense. With the wings on his back, and how he stood, he must be the royalty which meant he must be the Prince of Light.

However, it was not the Kingdom of Light he was concerned about just now, as Jackal brought him back from his glance, "The Prince of Fire...His guard appears to have a friendship with him, maybe we can get information from her. Well when I say we, I mean you because you are better at flirting then me", as Jackal laughed and Fala chuckled, "Don't say too loud or I'll lose my touch", as his tail came up and brushed against his hand, before falling back down.

However, the "flirting" would have to wait, since he had his work to do, as Aria then spoke, "No one is flirting with anyone...Don't trust any of them. Let's just go to our rooms...", in which Fala responded with a nod ready to go, before turning back to his casual smile, and catching Jackal's smirk, before they were all approached by the Prince of Fire, and like Jackal, he remained at hand ready to pounce in if he tried anything and stepped forwards even closer when he saw Aria's head tilt to show he was there for her. The Prince of Fire sure was fired up, ironically, yet somehow he had the feeling that he sort of enjoyed his little dig at Aria, until he retreated and his guard came back to apologise.

He admired how she had returned to apologise on her Prince's behalf, before she turned to leave after Aria thanked her and then left. With the guard of the Prince of Fire left, all that was left was him and Jackal, as he noticed how he was looking towards the Light and Shadow nations which seemed to be talking nicely, though unlike them, there was not a murder involved.

The last order Aria had given was that they'd be no flirting and not to trust anyone before entering their chambers. If he could not flirt, and with the tensions growing, it all fell back to his duty being more needed than ever since the commotion which no doubt was noticed by all now. He then went to Jackal's side and said quietly to him, "Sure seems brighter over there....", he commented as he took a pause, "....We'll do some digging later. Aria will no doubt be waiting for us", as the corners of his mouth tugged and a smile appeared as his right hand held onto Jackal's left shoulder, before heading towards their room.

Once Aria was settled, she might let them roam a bit, since the best way to know others was to get to know them, and avoiding them wasn't getting no knowledge at all, but he would take her words onboard, that none could be trusted. He only hoped these arrangements by the Council would be alot more better than the last time. Fortunately for Aria, she had him by her side, and the thing about wolves was that they had heightened senses and seeing as his human form was not fully human but part wolves, his senses were often always on the go, so if anything dared happen, he'd immediately leap into action, though he hoped it would not.
