Torrence Meridian's Story

Jasmine let Prince Leigh-Aleyn lead her away from her brothers, who surprisingly allowed it. The events of what happened were still fresh in her mind. She wondered what would happened next. The next thing she knew, she was led to where a few of the other princes were as well as to few the girls she felt connections to. She still had the Carnelian fragment tight in her hand. She tried putting on a serene face for she was raised to be strong. It wasn't long before another person jointed their group, addressing the one called Averery, whom she recognized as the Prince of Mulada.

"Oh, my name is Jasmine Feelot, and I just got the Carnelian fragment. It's still a little surreal to me."

"Honey, why don't you go to where Phaine is? He seems to be talking to other people over there." Lady Givens told Louisa.

"Oh, it's a rather large group though." Louisa said.

"Louisa dear, this could be for you. After all, several of those girls there have stone fragments so they can probably relate to you. Besides, you will be going on a journey with them."

Her mother did have a point. So, taking a deep breath, she walked over to where Phaine was.

"Um, hi, might if I join you?" she asked.

Jasmine looked at the lavender hair young lady.

"Sure you can." she smiled.

Torrence smiled at Auralee. When she stood up, so did he.

"So you are from Anahaly? I figured you were since you have the Jade fragment." he said.

When she thanked him, he couldn't help but blush a little.

"Andun should be thanked. He was the one who healed her. I am glad to have helped though." he replied.

The prince blushed! Aura noticed it and found it extremely cute. Not every guy she met would have blushed like he did, She laughed and her smile grew wider. "But you were the one who fetched him. And I still am grateful." She looked over her shoulder to Nyxie and saw her with another, and she was looking very nervous in talking to him. She flashed a quick smile over at the other girl and turned back to the prince before her.

She surveyed the room and found it returning to a semblance of normal. People were returning ot eating and talking, though some were still upset or injured. She noticed a couple of the other girls a couple yards from where she was standing, they seemed to all be gathering together there.

She stood for a couple seconds, unsure what else to say to the person in front of her, and was about to ask him how he had like the ball before the earthquake and s everything else when her family once again surrounded her. They had seen her take hold of the jade stone and were both excited and worried for her. Her parents noticed the prince next to her and bowed, her siblings followed their lead and Aura stood in the center and smiled at her familys perpetual enthuiasm. She introduced them to Torrence. "This is my parents, my brothers Jordan, Samuel, and Lucas, and my sister Maria. Guys this is Prince Torrence." They all stood up with each mention of their name and then turned their attentions back to Auralee.

((Ok cool. I'll keep that in mind. It'll be cool to emote animals lol))

Aura nodded when Torrence offered his help with sailing for the islands later in the quest. She personally didn't know much about sailing. She had spent the boat ride to Mulada in a passenger cabin watching over her baby siblings, who weren't taking the rocking of the waves on the hull. As a child she tagged along with her brothers on fishing vessels a couple times though.

Across the table, one of the princes, Phaine mentioned the use of magic, that could be usedful, she thought, then he ordered a purple cloth to place over his face, which was unusual. Aura gasped as a feeling of shock and exhaustion came over her suddenly. She looked around and saw Moselle bend to the table to let her head rest. That was funny she thought. As quickly as it came over her it was gone and suddenly Aura felt the need to move, restlessness and energy filling her up. Kayla suggested going out to train just then and Aura jumped at the oppertunity. "I'll come. For some reason I have energy to spare." She glanced back over at Moselle who had been looking out into the distance before she slumped forward. What was going on she wondered.
