The Alania beach borders the Alania Ocean: an ocean that can range from being calm, to vicious. Along the beachside, a large city by the name of "Ocia" was formed. Many clans have made the beautiful beach-side city their home; however, with recent control from the Scian Empire, unrest has begun to stir from the rebellion. The city remains under strict control from the Scian's.

sub-character: Range  Range sat on the sand a few feet from the water. His worn teddy resting on his side. "Quite a day isn't it?" Range stated, turning to face Keal. The creature shook its head with a small snort as it's golden hair danced in the wind. Keal was the griffen the boy was currently taking care of for Alaura. Range smiled and nodded once before answering himself, " Some day it is. Sunny, Warm. If only for that griffen..." Range looked down to his teddy bear with a grim face, "Len, you can be quite the trouble some days, " He paused for a moment before replying, "But you know those are the best days you have." The man turned toward the ocean again. His brown eyes fixed on the waves. "Nah, you got it backwards. When you're quiet, THOSE are my best days." He remained hushed for a moment as he watched the gentle waves fall onto the shore. ((Note: Range suffers from multi personality order. His other side is Len, but he tries to make it so that Len is his teddy bear. Sorry if it's slightly confusing...^^"))

 David Solomon Meanwhile, as a beach provided an otherwise serene environment, a Sciaran general marched down the sandy strip of land. Ahead his target could be seen: a red-headed male with a stuffed animal in his arms.
David had been instructed to find a puppeteer for the sorcerer: a puppeteer whom could be used as a weapon to kill the rebellion leader. David was to recruit him. David was confident he could do it as well. After all, one doesn't go about being an army general without knowing how to persuade others.
"Range Kale?" David's deep voice finally rose as he stopped beside the male, looking down at him with curiosity. The male was rather cute. He'd look like a teen if it wasn't for the fact that he was so tall. A smirk tugged at his lips.
"Puppeteer Kale?" David continued to ask. Rumor had spread of a young male who was curiously skilled at the art of puppeteering; however, rumor also spread he was a little unstable. It was even better for the empire.
"David Solomon, general of the Sciaran empire. I've come to request your services" David spoke flat out as he crouched beside the strawberry-haired male.

sub-Character: Range Range shifted himself on the sand to face his approaher. "Yup, I'm Range Kale. And... services?" The young man took the sandy colored teddy bear in his hands, " Pupeteering silly." Range shushed the stuffed bear before turning his attention back onto Solomon. He estimated his next response. "Well... since Len cleared that up... Now it depends on why." The teen turned his head away, off to the sea again as he dug his feet into the sand. "Why do you they need it?" Keal ignored the whole ongoings as he continued his stroll on the sand. Sniffing here and there. Exploring the waves. Hunting down any small birds or fish that dared to come within his sight.

David Solomon "Entertainment for our enemies" David spoke with a smirk. "And a touch of guile" David continued with a soft grin as he rose and followed the male as he strolled along the beach.
"So cute" David mused as he chased various gulls and other creatures that crossed his path. "You're like a child"
However, despite the occasional admiration of the male's nature and looks, David was still focused on recruiting him to help with assassinations.

Range shifted uneasily again and questioned, "But... why?" The answer was still pressing at him. Slowly he covered his feet with sand and shook them free before repeating again. Although Range held himself meekly and slightly wishwashy, he liked to know the whole story. By himself, he couldn't sort things out well exspecially with Len there at every thought. The teddybear slide off his lap and back onto the sand. "I think we shouldn't ask, Range." Range spoke as if he was the teddybear. "But we have to." He whispered back before turning his attention back to David. ((^^" what does guile mean? XD))

David Solomon David smirked as he placed a finger beneath the male's chin and made him look up at his chestnut eyes, smirking.
"Because it'll better the empire, cute boy" The fiery-haired male nonchalantly hummed as his hand slid along the strawberry-haired male's jaw line and up the side of his head.
"Wouldn't you like to be of help to the empire? You'll be compensated well. Money. Housing. Pleasure. Whatever you desire" David offered as he gently ruffled the male's hair before returning his hand to his side.

Range scratched his jaw as he hugged his teddy. "Well... Money would be nice." The boy paused and looked off the waves again. "And pleasure... So, food probably." the stuffed animal coughed. "Food is good. Quite good." He smirked and rose his hand to his chin. His eyes squinted as she asked, "Soo... How much food?" The wind slighlty picked up as the waves thrashed harder against the shore. A cool mist brushed against Range's face as Keal, the griffin of Alaura, wondered back and rested on the sand beside the boy.

David Solomon "All you can eat" David spoke simply as he smirked at the male's interest. It seemed that persuading the male was easier than he thought. If he was pleased with food, then it was even low-cost to the empire.
"And not just any food. Some of the finest in the land. The royal chefs at the castle are extremely talented at what they do. Delicious meals and desserts of both savory and sweet nature" David continued, hoping to make the offer even more enticing.
"And some of the softest beds in the land. With smooth, silk sheets. They're to die for" David added as he gazed over at the griffin nestled in the sand. It was so tame and gentle: what kind of griffin had that nature? Was it a summoned creature? Or just trained from a hatchling?

"I like food." He stated before answering, "But I still want to know why exactly... and how long." The young man straightened himself out. He faced David with his eyebrows bent downward, "So... For how long?" His feet wiggled into the heated sand and his hand wipped the mist from his face. The griffen maintained it's cosy position, only looking up to check up on his second owner every so often.

David Solomon "Your puppets would be enchanted by the great wizard to be used as tools for assassination, cute boy" David spoke as he looked down at the bear. He didn't fully understand why the boy would talk through his bear at times, but he assumed it had something to do with the rumored instability of the male.
"And we'd like your service for a while. A minimum of three months, but we might ask you to stay for longer. But with what we're offering you, I don't see how you could refuse" David grinned as he slid his hands into his pockets.
"So, do you think you can handle that, cute boy?" David asked with a smirk, hoping the nature of the occupation wouldn't scare him off.
((Sorry, I didn't see that you asked what guile was earlier. It means insidious cunning or crafty deceit))

Range looked off as in a daze. "Assassinations..." he muttered to himself. The other voice in his head stopped as the world echoed. "Months.. I could do that." He said as if speaking to himself. Gently, the boy squeezed the bear beside him as he seemed to come back to reality. His light brown eyes flickered as they turned back to David. "I couldn't do that." Range stated, "killing... I just... dunno." Len picked back up too quiet for Range to even state what he would be saying.

David Solomon A grunt escaped the male as the male declined the offer. Why couldn't he?
"I beg you to reconsider. The wizard himself asks for you. And if you don't. . ." David spoke in a soft, solemn voice as he gazed down at the sand beneath them.
"I'll be tortured for failing to fulfill his requests. The wizard is talented as torturing those he fail to please him, and his magic brings them back to life so even death can't end their suffering" The general held much trouble and fear in his eyes as he turned his back to the puppeteer and slid off his vest so he could see his back. Although the male's back was tanned and toned nicely, along it were many scars, many slashes and harsh scratches.
"Please. If you don't I'll have to endure more of this" David was excellent at faking sadness, fear, and uncertainty. And the fact that he had battle scars and scars from lovers in the heat of the moment only helped to make his claim more valid. If David couldn't convince Range, maybe he could guilt him.
"If you do this favor for me, cute boy. . ." David spoke as he slid his vest back on, then turned to the male. "I'll give you whatever it is that you want, even if it's something the wizard himself refuses you" David sighed as he placed a hand on the male's slender shoulder. "Please?"

Range buried his head in the fluffy stuffed animal."I just... I just don't think I could...." he muttered, "I couldn't." The boy shook his head against the bear. 'But WE could.' Range covered his ears with the palms of his hand. "No... No." he cried as something swirled inside of him. "NO." The young man hit the hand off his shoulder and stumbled to his feet. His hands still tightly covered his ears as he coughed back, "I apolgize... But I can't..." With that, the boy bowed and ran off. 'We could, we could, we could...' the words echoed in his head like a voice in an empty cave. "You don't own me Len. You never did!" Range cried, stumbling his way back to the seaside town. Tears had streaked his face as he continued to recite a song, "This is me. All I've ever wanted to be. No one else, just me. And even when the memories return, the only person I ever wanted to live to be is me." Hugged against a stone wall, Range's mind began to calm. His own words came back. The cold rock against his back returned his senses. Range took a deep breath before moving his hands from his ears, to his face. He didn't want another person to go through pain for his own disagreeance, but he couldn't knowing bring himself to kill. It brought up his past: the person he had been raised to be. The person, or 'personality' he had been saved from. When the moments of old habits returned, it over came him. But this time, he was safe from being taken control of again. Sighing, Range tilted his head upward and closed his eyes as be basked in his glory of overcoming.

 Suigintou looked troubled as she sat on the cliff side she felt like she was needed somewhere that someone may have some use of her talents besides her looking cute and innocent it was just a disguise to help her blend in sighing softly she started to sing softly "Tears from behind my eyes but i do not cry...waiting for that endless sunny blue sky...when i tell ya...good bye to you, good bye to everything than i knew...you were the one i loved the only one i tryed to hold on to..." Hearing the waves crash beneath her she slowly began to stand up picking up her teddy bear to make her seem more cute her gothic lolita style still got looks as did her cosplay bunny ears that were mosty hidden by her hat the teddy was also a rabbit both white and fluffy "Well this was a waste of time i come here hoping to find someone and they don't show -sigh- well theres always later" she said perking up slightly
