Introduction
Now, many rebel factions have already formed inside the capital city of Williston and plot against the royal family. To go anywhere, even inside the city, means possible danger. With a cloak and dagger lurking around every corner, it is only a matter of time before this powder keg explodes. This is where their story begins. The story of...
The princess and the keeper.

The Story So Far... Write a Post » as written by 2 authors
"This will just take a moment." The boy, oddly seems confident as he takes out...one of his knives...
Maneuvering the boat to turn so the side faces the grate as it approaches, the boy leans toward the metal and begins to push down with the knife. "Hold on..." He readjusts the knife after looking closer at the part he was touching and makes a deep scratch with it. Then he does so again with the bar below the first, then the next, then the top and the other side before sheathing the blade again.
What could a knife do to this water grate? What is the point? Still confident, the boy calmly mutters to himself, "Here we go...", as he lifts one of the boats oars and then thrusts it against the metal grate. And...
Nothing. Nothing. What was the point of even trying the knife?
The boy draws back the oar and sharply exhales as he thrusts it again. Once more, it does not budge, so he draws it back again and thrusts it once more. This time, though...a high-pitched creak sounds from the metal. Another thrust and the grate actually comes down. "Eeh! There we go!" The boy puts the oar back in the water and starts to move the boat once more, taking it through the gap in the metal part of the wall.
"Pre-cut the grate on the other side earlier with a saw. All she needed was a good-ol' push..." The boy looks around as the two exit out from under the large stone wall. "You're my sister", the boy says as he peers around at the world....
"If anyone asks, you're my sister, Darri, and I'm taking you on an early morning ride in my first boat. I finally saved up enough coin to get myself my first boat and I'm giving you a ride to show it off." It was a long pause between the sort of command and explanation. The possible meaning behind it turn the few seconds of pause into a few minutes.
"I am your lovable idiot of a brother, Fredrik."
Still dressed in her tomboyish out of pants and a tighter shirt, she thinks. "We look nothing alike, Fredrick. I think it's be best if we were a... Couple. "
"-Oh, buy me dinner first," the boy who calls himself Fredrik teases. "Sure, I suppose it would be better that way. In that case, we've known each other for three years now and have been dating for two. You~..." Fredrik looks down at himself and the boat. "...Aren't in it for the money, obviously."
"The region has a few nearby towns. Trade has its way of popping up around important cities so their's bound to be people for a bit." Fredrik looks around. "This river flows to a secluded place where we can regroup, though. We should be fine..."
Until then though, the boy proceeds to be just about the best actor ever as 'Darri' plays the girlfriend act and acting just like the low-income, nervous boy he is supposed to be. When they finally pass under trees for a few minutes, the boy finds a soft spot to disembark. It is muddy, and filled with bushes and other plant life, but it is better than a bunch of rocks in the way so he draws the oars back into the boat and jumps out to pull the boat up on the shore for the princess to get off safely.
"We should be fine for now. There's certainly going to be somebody hunting us but, for now, I think we can catch our breath..." The boy pauses for a moment..."My Lady"...and then turns around.
"My name is Gabriel."
"We're alone. You can drop the act, you know."
In truth, he had not thought this far forward. He had figured, 'YEAH-I'LL KNOW EXACTLY WHAT TO DO WHEN I GET THERE-NO PROBLEM'. But now he is here...and it is kind of a problem. "Well~, y'see...I don't exactly know." The boy has a stupid smile on his lips; one that says 'please don't kill me.'
Setting
0.00 INK
To be honest, he had figured the princess would put up much more of a fight to leave than she did. Like...a lot more. But here she is now, following some random boy's orders to the tee, despite his look and lack of any sort of explanation.
