Princess Gwendolen Amelia Adrianna, Emma slipped through the alleyway having lost both her sisters and the guards. She'd meet up with them back at the castle later tonight. She was exhilarating in the sense of freedom at the moment. She stops and takes her crown off her head and stuffing it in her cloak pocket and calmly walks through the slowly traffic of the city. She hides the smile that is trying to be seen on her face and lets it shine in her icy blue eyes. A giggle does manage to escape however. She forces herself to walk slowly and not run for the sure thrill of it all. It wasn't easy but she manages it as she walks down the almost deserted streets, her hands hidden in the folds of her skirts. Her eyes move from side to side as she walks, cautious and excited. She turns down an alley and immediately regrets it for a man comes up behind her and pushes her farther in. "Hello love." He says, frighting Emma. Oh now she wished she'd stayed with her guards. "You are blocking the way sir." She says trying to move around him. "I know." He says and moves towards her, causing her to back up. Oh dear. "I really do have to get back home. Papa won't be happy if I'm late." She says firmly, trying to keep some control of the situation. That did not help at all. "Oh you can go home when I'm done with you Missy." He says with a grin. Emma shivers at his voice. She did not like what he was implying. Oh what had she gotten herself into this time. Edited by Mira Darkmoon, 5 Oct 2008, 01:13 AM.

Jio was walking down his usual alleyways that he traveled all time when he was younger. He decided to come back to his home town to see if anything has changed. Much to his surprise the only thing that changed was the crime rate. He sighed, "Why wasn't I hear for this? I could have commanded all the hoodlums here." Another sigh, "Oh well." He shrugs his shoulders and walks on down the alleyway. When he turned a corner he noticed a rather large man standing in front of a woman. The man seemed to be harassing the young lady. Jio was never too keen on picking on defenseless women. He decided to take a stand and help the poor lass. "Leave her alone you big brute." He shouted down the alley. |

Vincent was standing on top of a building across from where this harassment was taking place. He hated what he was seeing. Even though someone was taking a stand for her, he was shouting...not bothering to take any real action from what it looked like. He himself couldn't stand people who attacked young women...which is why he would never steal from one. "Tsk...going after a young lady? Despicable." He pulled his crossbow from around his shoulder and pulled out an arrow and loaded it. Once the locking mechanism sounded off he took aim, making sure he had a clear shot, he got one aiming for the man's right shoulder. He set it off and the arrow launched from the crossbow and after the mans shoulder. |

Jio noticed the man on the building and also noticed the bolt he just shot. He shrugged, "Oh well. Less work for me then." He looked at the man on the roof and shouted, "Hope you can take him." Jio turned around and took a seat on some of the crates behind him. "Since I'm here I guess I will watch. Never let the chance to watch a fight go to waste." Jio looked at the ground and noticed an apple. "Now who would let an apple go to waste." He picked up the apple and brushed it off noticing it only had 1 small bruise. He took a bite, "Mmm. Good. Forgot how great the apples here were." |

Emma ducks in time and the brute, who wasn't all that smart gets hit. He grunts and Princess Emma finds this as a good time to flee. Considering how many times she'd managed to get away from her Guards it shouldn't have been too hard. She assumed to much however. He grabs her with his good arm, a dagger to her throat. Passing out would not do her any good so she does the only thing she can do. She places her hand in her cloak pocket and sighs. "You do realize the king will have you killed if these two don't kill you first. Harming of any lady is a crime that is well punished. I should know, I've seen him put your kind down before." She says. She wasn't going to admit that she was one of the king's daughters, that would be stupid. Only Ella or Delia would say something of the like. Speaking of which, she really hoped those two were okay. "Now I know why father says to never leave the house at night. Oh Dear." She says closing her eyes. "Shut your trap lady! If either one of you take another step, she's a dead woman! Ya hear!" The man says to them. As long as she didn't die or have to empty her cloak pockets she was fine. If the later happened she might as well be dead. Her father would kill her when he found out, if he found out, what had happened. She glares at Jio when he says that, "I hope you enjoy that apple, when I get out of this I will make sure you regret that!" She says with pure womanly spite. Just like her brother would have done, it annoyed her. Edited by Mira Darkmoon, 5 Oct 2008, 02:51 AM.

"He isn't as dumb as I thought. Seeing as you only have 1 good arm, I imagine that you won't be carrying that knife too long. Unless of course you can stand pain very well." While Jio was talking he was taking small steps that weren't too noticable while continuing to eat his apple. "If you can keep it up I have misjudged you. In that case I am sorry." He pauses for a moment. "Have you tried one of these apples? They are delicious. You should try it." Jio takes the rest of his apple and throws it at the man's face. |

When the man yelled out, Vincent did the one thing he could do...especially since he just used his last arrow. With the way he was positioned on the roof...he would really only look like a silhouette. He let his wings out, almost looking like an angel himself...but in reality he was only half angel. He drew his katana and held it at an angle at his side. "And if you so much as lift a foot, or cut that young lady, i swear I shall drag your soul to the pits of Hell myself!" he yelled to the man. His voice was deep, stern, and his tone serious...an excellent bluff. Though he really didn't have such ability...he looked the part...so long as no light hit the front part of his body. ((Sorry if i use the name Razael from time to time...that's the character i usually use...but if i do i will edit it back to Vincent ok?)) |

The man releases Princess Emma and she falls forward while he falls backwards. Her crown almost falls out of the pocket but she quickly shoves it back in and is on her feet again in no time. The grace of a cat was with her. Her wild blue eyes darting between the three of them before standing up again and taking the dagger from her boot which she hadn't been able to get to before. A royal dagger. She does the strangest thing with the dagger however. Being half elf, her blood held a small bit of magic in it. Enough to heal fast, cast small magic but not enough to create a barrier. She flips the dagger in the air and it flys at the man's heart before he can react. "Thank you for your help gentlemen. Now if you'll excuse me, I do have prior arrangements that need my attention." She says and curtsies to them before she starts walking away. However not having walked five feet she trips on one of the stones and falls, her crown spilling from her cloak. "Damn it again!" She mutters, not realizing her crown had escaped until a moment later. Her hand quickly grabs at it. (that's fine, I usually use Aura so this is new XD) Edited by Mira Darkmoon, 5 Oct 2008, 03:13 AM.

Jio was almost speechless at what just happened. Not only did she somehow kill him in one blow with a single knife stab but she was of royalty. He couldn't help but glimpse at the crown that fell out of her cloak. "Umm, may I ask your name? Your full name please and not something you just make up." Jio walked towards her and offers his hand to help her to her feet. |

Vincent retracts his wings. Vincent jumps down from the roof and his feet hit a pole that was protuding from the wall, he lets his feet slip to the side as he puts his left hand up to grab the pole as he fell, slowing his fall enough to land on the ground safely. He started to walk over to her when she fell. But when the crown fell, he was looking at the sky and didn't notice it, nor did he notice her hide it away again when he looked back down. As he stood in front of her, his sword sheathed, he extended his right hand. "May I help you up miss? I hope that createn did not harm you." His voice was different now, calm, smooth, and gentle. He however did not inquire to her name, it was not his place to know. If she wished she would tell him. He looked at the man that had come up towards her as well but who sat on the sidelines taking no real action, and pretty much gave him a dirty look. He hated men who attacked young women, but he hated men who took no real action even more. In his mind, this man had no right to be offering her help now, seeing as how he made no true movement to do anything earlier.

Watching from the darkened alley near the group, Xavier watched the whole thing, surprised to see that young lady handle a brute like that, and the whole time, he had his sword readied in case the situation had a worse outcome. but retract it. "She's quite impressive" Xavier thought to himself. He stepped out from the shadows and strolled along the way. Edited by Sigma, 5 Oct 2008, 03:38 AM.

Emma straightens herself properly before turning to the two and her eyes widen. "Oops, almost forgot!" She says and makes a circular movement with her hand and the dagger lays back into her hand, no blood even on it. She turns to the two and sighs before tucking the dagger away. "Very well then since I doubt we will meet again I see no harm in it. Just keep it to yourselves. I am Princess Gwendolen Amelia Adrianna, Soon to be crowned princess. Please call me Emma as my sisters do." She says with a nod, a small sigh escaping her lips. "Tonight has not gone as it should have. You see, I only gave my guards the slip...er I managed to escape them don't ask how. I just wanted some time to not be princess." She says with a smile. "I'm the one they call the Rebellious Princess." She says with a laugh. Her eyes look towards the two of them before nodding and heading to the entrance of the alley. "Adieu, have a good evening gentlemen." She says before she, as she did to her guards, tries to slip off. She was running again. |

"Well, I figured as much. I noticed her crown fall out of her jacket," He says walking towards the winged man to introduce himself. "I am Jio," He stretches out his hand as a greeting. "You are a nice shot my friend. I hope to meet you in the future on better terms." ((Dirty ninja poster?)) |

Vincent brushed his hair out of his face. "Vincent. And thank you, i wouldn't be much of a....marksmen if i wasn't a good aim. he didn't know if he could trust this man with the fact that he was a thief, seeing as how he had a few bounties on his head from both towns and rogue clans. He had no intention of following her, she wanted to be alone that's what she he would let her have, but coincidentally she was running off in the same direction he would have to go to get to his hideout."Princess or not...a lady is a lady...and i cannot tolerate people who attack a lady. But if you'll excuse me i must leave." He ran off into the alleyway and jumped straight up, kicking off the walls until he was standing on one of the roofs and ran off towards his hideout. Even though she wanted to be alone, he figured since they were going in the same direction...he'd keep an eye on her until their paths split. ((yes you are a dirty dirty ninja poster...you make me edit! T,T Im kidding but seriously...you have ninja posted me 3 times now...and the thread just started XD)) |

Jio waved to Vincent as he flew off into the sky. "Well, Guess I should be headed somewhere. Not sure where though. I do need a place to sleep." He opened his pouch to see if he had any money at all. He opened up his pouch and two moths flew out and flew around his face. "Aww. Guess I get to sleep on the ground again. Maybe I will sleep on these barrels where I found the apple. If I'm lucky there may be another one." He slepped back to the back of the alley and layed down on the crates. "Aww, no more apples." He lays there for a moment. "I'm hungry. Time to find some food." He hopped off the crates and hurried out of the alley and towards the merchants street. (I figured it was that. Oh well.)) |

Her father's words from the night before echo in her mind. Another forbidden act and I will have you married off to King Darin's son Deon. "Oh why couldn't I have been born to a noble's family instead or even a commoner's." She says with a sigh. She stops by the fountain and sits on it taking her crown out and staring at it. She couldn't refuse. A Prince might refuse but a princess never refused. Never questioned. "A princess is to just sit and look pretty and always smile, never question her father's word. The King's word is absolute." She says to herself, staring at her crown with a sad look in her eyes. "A princess does not marry for love but for alliances. I wish it was the other way around...But it never will be. Princesses most definitely do not marry commoners and only Princes. Stupid rules, they ruin the fun of life. Do nots seem to out number the dos." She says to herself, her head resting on her hands, her eyes half closed. Princess Emma was allowing herself a time of sadness which never was seen in the public eye, nor to her sisters or family. Though she was the most beautiful, most intelligent and by far the most graceful she was also very lonely. The company of her sisters only helped for so long. The words that had been burned into her head by her mother, nannies, tutors and governesses seemed to annoying her of late. For now she just wanted to be alone, but that wouldn't last long.

The Ice Queen

The night air was chilled against her skin, easily seeping through the material of gown on her slender body, bearing a faded shade of royal purple. The flowing skirts of her gown whispered with each movement of her legs, barely displaying the tops of royal purple slippers on her feet. The skirts rose to fit nicely around a tiny waist, a modest bust, the material vanishing beneath a mauve taupe wrap over her shoulders, secured at the center of her chest by a ruby broach. Trimming the top of the wrap was a portion of ivory silk that fell around the back of her collar, forming a triangular shaped design against her back, hidden mostly by the long silken tresses of golden hair. Her clothing, however, had been mostly hidden beneath the folds of a vermillion-colored cloak. A golden bangle around her wrist shinned in the moonlight, as did a plain golden band on her center finger. The young woman moved slowly through the darkened streets, the tip of her cane quietly tapping against the cobbled ground at her feet with each step to keep her balanced. Eyes the color of leaves darted this way and that, to every shadow, searching for something, someone. Ella raised her free hand to her chest, as if in attempt to still her pounding heart. Was it bold of her to have gone on without Delia to search for Emma? Perhaps foolish was a better word. Though Emma had gone off without the both of them at all, apparently eager to get away from the bright castle walls, the feeling of the ever-watchful eyes on their backs. Even so, it disappointed her that her dear sister had gone off without them, and while Delia had also come out that night, the fact remained that each sister was now separate from one another. "Emma," the young woman called, her voice young and soft. "Where are you?" She made the attempt to keep her voice down. Who knew what sorts of people there were out here at this time of night. Ella had heard stories from her sisters during their early adventures beyond the castle walls, but bearing that knowledge only seemed to make things even more frightening at night. What if she ran into vicious brigands that stole her away in the night, never to see her family ever again? Ella shivered at the thought. A princess was meant to be safe within her castle. What was it that had been so appealing about that which lay beyond the secured castle walls? True enough, Ella sought freedom like her sisters, though perhaps it had been solely because of her sisters that she sought it to begin with. Until their stories had reached her ears, all she had longed for was a more active life within the castle walls. What more could be found outside that couldn't be found within? But perhaps that was the fate of Gabrielle Eleanor Nicolette. To blindly follow her sisters, no matter their goal, simply as a means to belong somewhere. Edited by DeFalco, 5 Oct 2008, 04:19 AM.

It wasn't until he was already heading there that Jio relized the merchants were in the direction the princess had ran off to before. He didn't think he would actually run into her because he figured she had gone straight back to the castle. He stopped at a merchant stand before he came to the fountain. He grabbed a loaf of bread and headed off towards the fountain he once played in as a child. |

Vincent had run past where Emma had stopped it seemed that their paths would end there. Shortly after loosing sight of her, he heard another voice, calling someone's name. He stopped on one of the rooftops and looked down, it was yet another young lady, this one was walking with a cane. He sat down on the edge of the roof and watched as she passed under him. "It seems almost as if you're lost miss. Are you looking for someone?" He laid down his sword and crossbow in a hole near where he was sitting, he knew they would be safe there, but he held onto his tiger claws which remained on the back of his pants, hidden under his dark shirt. She didn't seem to be in any trouble, but he wouldnt want to climb down and startle her any more than he may just by addressing her from a rooftop. |

A thought stuck her as she sat there. "She wouldn't. Ella wouldn't even think it." Emma mutters to herself as she straightens herself, brushing the dirt from her gown and placing the crown back in the pocket. She was going have to do something about that cloak pocket. She closes her eyes with her face pointed heavenward and rolls her shoulders, as if to rid herself of some duty. She would never be rid of her duty. She had more of them then her sisters, though they didn't know the stress she'd been under lately or the threat their father had issued her. One more slip up and she'd be married to one of the cruelest men in the far kingdoms. Prince Deon. She shutters at the thought. "So that's my life then, hu? Duty, marriage for alliance and looking pretty. That just isn't right.." She mutters, accepting her fate as it is. Her fighting spirit was seen less and less these days and even the court was starting to notice. When people at court noticed that was a bad sign. Emma hadn't been herself since the commoner she'd fallen for two years before was killed by her father. She just didn't seem to care what happened to her any more. She dusts off her purple dress and her face slowly comes to face the fountain again. She really hoped Ella hadn't followed. |

As Xavier was passing by the merchant streets. he noticed the same boy from before running off to the nearby fountain. he saw the boy holding the bread loaf. normally, he would let it be, but today, he decided to walk up to him. "Hey kid, think you should pay for that bread?" he asked. |

He faces the man that came up to him. "You don't think I paid for this? I used the last of my money buying this loaf." He was hoping his lie was going to work. If not he wasn't quite sure what would happen. He also wanted to get back to the princess, something was obviously bothering her. |

The Ice Queen

There was a voice that had sounded out somewhere nearby, momentarily startling the young woman as she halted her steps, slender fingers clutching the top of her beautiful cane. Ella's head turned this way and that, looking around for the source of her voice, when something silently nagged at her to look upward. There, sitting on the edge of the rooftops, was a man staring down at her, his body barely lit by the firelight of the nearby street lamps lining the street at interval. Ella stared up at him with a bit of astonishment, as though never having seen such a thing in her life. In truth, she hadn't. The castle walls had always been too high to climb, and it was likely death would only wait for the foolish who sought to brave such heights. Realizing he was addressing her, she stammered for logical thought to process, though it came slowly. The princess was a sheltered bird, not a socialite, and because of this, she only bore a measure of decent "people skills" when her sisters were near to give her confidence. What could she say to a stranger? What would this stranger want from her? Nervously, her free hand came up to thread her fingers through golden bangs, her gaze averted from him as though seeking to hide her face from view. "I-I'm only...looking for someone..." she replied to him, wondering if her voice was loud enough to reach him at all. "My sister went out alone tonight..." She struggled for more words to come, but at this point, her mind was in a fog as it struggled between her thoughts of communication, and the desire to be with her sisters again. Ella's green eyes burned and she blinked rapidly to supress the sensation. She only wanted to be with them, to be with her sisters who must have loved her in some way. A father's love hadn't been enough, tough as it was, as he was a man of politics and things Ella couldn't bring herself to completely understand. Emma and Delia, however, were closer to understanding and unconditional love. Or were they...? How often had the young princess wondered if her sisters had loved her at all? How many times had she feared that the two sought to leave her behind because she was merely a burden that slowed them down in the end? Perhaps that was the truth, but so long as they were kind to her, Ella knew she would take advantage for the sake of remaining close. "Maybe you've seen her?" she asked up to the man, turning her face to him. "She's a pretty young woman with long brown hair. Half-Elven." The description was simple enough, but Ella could easily picture the face of Emma within her mind, not considering that any other stranger would have a more difficult time imagining.

Kind of confused Jio takes the gold. "Thanks. I'm Jio by the way. Hope to meet again, as long as you aren't going to chop off my hand for taking bread." He laughs at himself while the man is walking away. He turns around and notices Emma staring at the fountain. Jio approaches her, "Something seems to be bothering you." |
