The prince put on the best smile he could for the group of girls that had surrounded him. He really wasn't too good with the ladies at all. War, he could deal with that, but this was harder than any battle he had fought. "Really? That's a lovely though." He said, putting on the air of interest. Really, these girls were no different than the ladies in court. Boring and filled with nothing but hot air. Someone save me before I go and run one of them over with a sharp object... he prayed silently.
Albel turned towards the walls that she was so interested in. It had never occurred to him that his walls could actually do that. Sighing to himself, he slipped on his shirt and pulled on the pair of pants that he had finally chosen. "Hey, are my walls really that interesting?" He asked slipping his prosthetic arm back on with a loud popping noise.

Asvel sniggered as he walked up to the prince, coming to silently stand next to him. "I am back, Prince Yunho." He watched Yunho carefully. He was going to have to remove him soon. The prince looked to be at wits end.
Axelle turned around at the popping noise, eyebrows rising as she saw his prosthetic arm. She hadn't noticed it before. Then again, she had only ever seen this man with long sleeves on. She moved forward, entranced by the glass working she could see woven into the arm, and grabbed it gently, forgetting the man it was attached to as she brought it closer to her face, to inspect how it had been created.

"Thank God..." Yunho mumbled under his breath when he saw Asvel. "Ladies! Meet one of my trusted warriors, Asvel!" He introduced. "Well... I should get going to meet up with Soren... we've got very important things to discuss. Why don't you ladies entertain him? Eh?" Yunho quickly excused and slipped away before anything else could be said.
"Oye! Oye! What the Hell do you think you're doing?!" Albel exclaimed yanking his arm away from her. "Watch the merchandise!" He grumbled and plopped himself onto his bed. "Geeze... I never knew there was such a freak among the gardeners like her..." He complained throwing the covers over him and trying to get into a more comfortable position to sleep.

Pandora nodded at Soren's reason for summoning the women and sighed. She entered the study room and stood in the middle of the room, "so what will happen to the women that don't marry the prince? do we go back to our old lives and pretend that none of this happened?"

"Ah... I haven't thought it out that far yet... Perhaps they'll find someone within the castle and marry them?" He suggested with a slight shrug. "I don't mind them staying here... it's really all up to the prince in the end." He explained and opened up a large tome. "Now.... I have to warn you before hand... black magic is hard to wield. Much harder than the healing white magic. Are you sure you want to learn?" He asked his face solemn and his dark red eyes staring at her intently waiting for an answer.

"Yes I'm sure, it's been my dream since I was child" she answered as her blue eyes were fixed on the large tome. The peasant was thrilled to learn black magic and waited patiently for Soren's command.

Soren let out a small sigh and closed the book in his hands. "Very well. If you're so determined to learn this, then come her tomorrow after your lesson with Rhys and we'll begin. That is all." He said in a very professional tone. "You may go to bed now."

Pandora bowed and left the study room, she walked down the hallways of the castle that was dimly lit by flames on the candles. Unfortunately, as she was walking she remembered that she had on idea how to get back to the sleeping quarters, she let out a loud curse word and tried her best to look for her room.

- THE NEXT DAY -
Saryelena yawned and looked around at the sun that was beginning to rise at the horizon. "Time to get going..." She murmured sleepily rubbing her eyes and in an almost trance like state started to get ready to go down to the stables and make the trip to the desert. Quietly she hummed a song to herself as she packed and got ready.
Soren had spent the rest of the night looking through all his tomes, checking which one would be the easiest. It was nearly dawn when he fell asleep onto his desk, his face covering the page on the book he wished to teach his new pupil.

Pandora had fallen sleep near the window in the of the halls of the palace, she had no idea where she was going so she just gave up and curled up like a cat on the floor near the window. Servants were giving her odd looks but didn't bother to wake the peasant up. The sun was blazing down on Pandora but she didn't budge.
Yoochun dragged his groggy self towards the stables. He yawned loudly while entering the stables, "hey Apollo, good morning" he said to his precious mount. The knight stroked the feathers as he guided it towards the exit, "got a long day ahead of us, hope you got your rest."

He didn't notice that it was morning until the sun's rays actually hit his eyes. The mage grunted, squinting against the bright light as he was awoken rudely by it. He had a crick in his neck from sleeping in such an awkward position, quite frankly, he had no idea how or when he had fallen asleep. All he knew was that he now had a pupil, she would be arriving soon to learn from him, and he was dirty as anything.
And, he smelled quite bad. "Ugh..." He moaned stretching out his back and feeling the air bubbles pop several times. It was an odd sort of pain that he found comfort in. His neck felt stiff from being bent over for hours on end and over all, he was sore. "I should at least get a bath..." He mumbled closing the impossibly large tome on his desk and toted it with him towards the bathrooms where he planned to take a bath to freshen up a bit.
The spacious bathroom was amazing, tiles gilded with gold everywhere and several full length mirrors. One look into them was enough to make Soren want to go back to his room and sleep. He looked like an absolute mess, his hair was awry from having his hand run through it so many times, the worst part was his entirely bloodshot eyes from having so few hours worth of sleep. "... I think I'm getting too old for this already..." the mage muttered quietly to himself as he tore away from the mirror and started to take off his robes to bathe.
~~~~~~
The Pegasus Knight happily sung to herself as she saddled up her mount Scheherazade. "And then... when we get there... we'll fly as high as the sun..." She murmured comfortingly to her mount while brushing the white hairs of the mane until it shone. "And then... we'll stop by our village to rest a bit... and I'll be home... just for a little bit..."
She paused, a tear starting to form at the corner of her eyes but blinked it away. There was no need to cry for such a happy occasion, her previous life in the desert wasn't a pleasant experience, but it was home, and it had a quality that only it could bring. The dunes forever changing, the brilliant shapes of the sand storms, everything, no matter how horrid it was, it was a pure sort of beauty that could never be matched in the city.
"And we'll sing... and dance... and we'll laugh... we'll be merry..." She murmured when she finally finished grooming the Pegasus. Checking one last time to make sure the saddle and the reigns were properly buckled on, she led her mount outside to the rosy dawn light and waited for the others to come out as well.

Pandora felt someone poking at her while she was asleep, she muffled a small curse then rolled over to see who was poking at her. To her surprise it was one of the servants of the palace, "oh! uh ahem, sorry I couldn't find my way back last night so I just collapsed here and...slept" she explained as she stood up from the concrete floor. The servant just gave her an odd look and guided her towards the bathing area. The servant gave Pandora fresh robes and closed the door so she can have her privacy. Peeling off her clothing, the boyish woman jumped into the warm water, "wow this is nice, warm scented water."
Yoochun guided his griffin towards the Pegasus knight, "so are you almost ready?" he asked as he mounted on his griffin. "We have a long day ahead of us" he said as he patted the side of his mount, "you got plenty of rest right Apollo?" he asked his precious griffin. Yoochun looked up at the clear skies and couldn't wait to feel the warmth of the sun and the clear breeze to follow.

The mage was aware that there was someone else on the other side of the baths and from the sounds of the female's exclamations, he deduced that it was one of the girls that he had invited over from the town. "So... I'm going to assume that you're still getting used to palace life eh?" he asked, his voice carrying over the divider that separated the female and male baths.
Soren closed his eyes and let out a small sigh, enjoying the warm water against his skin. It had been such a long time since had last been able to relax completely and this was complete, utter bliss for him.
"I couldn't be any more ready." She said happily, petting her Pegasus gently. "The day's still young, it's best if we set out earlier than later." She murmured quietly. "At least we'll be able to avoid the worst of the desert heat." She smiled slightly to herself, eager to once again see her home.
