Welcome to Gaia! ::

PLOT:

There was once a prosperous kingdom in the land of Gale, ruled by a King that was loved by all of his subjects. Unlike the chaos that took place outside of its walls, Gale was a peaceful land. For almost one thousand years Gale has stood strong. Of course, Gale had the power to spread and conquer, but they were a peaceful people and wished to do no such thing.

During this time, humans were the elite race. Of course, without their weapons they would be nothing, but because of their brilliant minds, no other creature could stand up to them. The humans however, had grown corrupt over the years, wanting nothing more but dominance over everything; the Kingdom of Gale seemed to be the only hope for the purity of humans. Many of the human kingdoms had brought some of the other races that filled the world to extinction and forced others into hiding. Others however had been able to retaliate. But it would not be long before they fell. The humans, wanting to become more powerful so that they could destroy the remaining races, saw Gale's prosperity and tried reason with them to join their cause. But the King and people of Gale wanted nothing of their kindred's greed. Seeing them as traitor's (and wanting their power), the humans outside of Gale's walls tried to conquer them and claim it as their own. But every kingdom had been unsuccessful everytime.

So, in order to grow stronger, they were forced to fight amongst themselves, trying to conquer one another's kingdoms so that they could one day conquer Gale, which would in turn give them complete control and allow them to dominate the world.

However, as they fought amongst themselves, the other races that had been able to survive watched and waited as the humans destroyed themselves. As one would suspect, every other race despised humans because of their power and how they mis-treated it. They had however, always respected Gale because of their kindness. But, due to the plans of the humans outside of its walls, the Kingdom of Gale was now their enemy. If the corrupted humans were able to take Gale, then there would be no hope in stopping them spread across the land and killing off other races. So their only hope was to take over Gale themselves so that they could protect themselves

.... that was when a mysterious figure appeared on the gates of Gale....

The newcommer was definately not human, so the people of Gale allowed him in and in time, the creature, who called himself Asawrath, became quite popular. As the years passed, Asawrath had gone up the ranks and soon became the King's personal favorite, soon making him Head Knight of his dorment army. Everybody loved Asawrath; the army soon became quite enthralled with him. If he told them to destroy Gale, they most likely would...

However, one of the King's daughters Feona, had a dream. She had dreamt of Asawrath's true identity. He was, as he stated, not human. However, his intentions were not pure. He had planned to enter Gale and rise in popularity, as he had done so, so that he could take over the army and hopefully overthrow their Kingdom. And in horror, she watched as Asawrath and her father's army destroy her father's kingdom in her dream. Feona, of course, along with her sister Violet had incredible powers and had been used on many occassions to help the Kingdom by seeing into the future; they were one of the main reasons why Gale was so prosperous. As soon as she awoke, she had told her sister Violet of her dream. The strange thing was, Violet had also had a similiar dream. The two sisters soon decided that they had to worn their father, the King, of what they had seen. However, Asawrath, during his time in the Kingdom, had learned of the powers of both of the princess'. So, for a situation such as this, he had hired a spy. The spy had overheard the princesses' discussion and instantly went to Asawrath and told him that he had been discovered...

Before the two princesses had time to reach their father, they had run into Asawrath and a few of his men. There was a fierce battle, but, with their powers, they were able to kill his men. Asawrath tried to kill them, but they were too powerful. Before they had a chance to kill him, the creature chanted a spell that sent them far into the dark forest, miles from Gale. Now the two sisters must make their way back through the treacherous land, past the corrupt humans and the desperate remaining races. However, there is a problem. Aryssa has forgotten everything; her memory has been replaced by another life. Luckily, Feona has not been affected in such a way.

Aryssa origionally had not forgotten who she was. However, the spell took a strange toll on her mind. During her time wondering, she came into a surviving human village where she was taken in and adopted into their way of life. While she lived there, Aryssa spent much time with a girl named Aurora. And, since her mind was still greatly affected by the spell, all of her thoughts transfered to Aurora, while Aurora's memory went to Aryssa. In the final week of Aryssa's stay, when she began to understand what had happened, a war erupted, tearing apart the village. Unfortunately, Aryssa and Aurora were seperated; Aurora was captured while Aryssa was able to escape, fleeing deep into the dark forest.

It was then that Aryssa was forced to travel the lands alone, soon loosing all connections with who she really was. Soon, she believed that she was Aurora. However, Miraculously, she came across her sister Feona, who had luckily not been affected the way her sister had. But how will she convince her sister? Will they make it back to their homeland to save their Kingdom from complete destruction?

STARTING POINT:

I would like this roleplay to focus around both Violet and Feona. This is going to be a different type of rp where I will act as "problems" both of the princesses will encounter. The other people that will join can be friends they meet on the way (which is prefered). But if you want to be the King, Arawrath, other races, the King's subjects, a soldier of the King's/Arawrath's army, that is fine. The rp begins in the dark forest..... what is next? Oh, since I added in Aurora, someone can be Aurora as well. 3nodding

3.
Gaia Name:
Name: Aurora
Description:

Feona stummbled through the ever darkening forest, her arms reaching out for anything that would hopefully be a support to her as she ran through the darkness. Her breath was quick as she continued to run, her face pale due to the lack of nutrition. With the combination of those two states of being, the princess' head swam, but onward she went. But why was she running? It was because she was being pursued by a group of four or more orcs. But wasn't she powerful? Did she not have certain powers that would aid her in battle? Of course she did. However, she was in no state to summon such power, neither was she able to take aim with her bow and arrows, which were slung over her bruised shoulder.

Not only was Feona's spiritual body deeply tattered and torn, but so was her outward appearance. Her clothes, which could be expressed as quite elegant, now were just raggs, holes torn into her blouse, skirt and upper garment by branches which had snagged against the material. Even one looked upon her, one would believe that she was a commoner, a peasant of low class. But if one looked closer, if one looked into those bright blue eyes, which were, even though quite pale, would be able to see the flame inside of her; you would be able to see her stature in life.

Wimpering, the princess continued onward, pulling back branches that reached out for her raven hair which hoped to entangle her like a fly in a web so that the orcs could feast upon her flesh. But, even when her hair did sometimes get caught in a branch of somesort, Feona never hesitated to rip the once elegant strands. So now, her hair, which was once beautiful, now resembled the nest of a bird. But as of now, the princess did not care; she was focusing on surviving.

As the sweat dripped down the side of her pale face, the princess looked back, hoping that the orcs were far off from her current position. However, much to her despair, she could see them not too far from where she ran, their rough bodies breaking through the branches as if they were just paper. Cursing silently, Feona brought her eyes back to her designated path before her foot caught hold of a root, causing her to fall to the ground. With a cry, the princess careened into the dirt; the chase was over. But, that did not stop her. Immediately, the girl took hold of one of the arrows straddled around her shoulder and placed it in quiver of her bow. "For Violet...." And, after pulling back the arrow, the princess released, sending the weapon into the neck of one of the pursuing orcs. With a gargled cry, the creature fell to the ground.

Of course, the remaining orcs did not even look back at their fallen comrade; it was now worthless to them. Instead, their contorted faces became more enraged as they lifted their scimitar's over their heads. Despite her condition, the princess quickly grabbed another arrow with her quivering fingers and soon shot yet another. This time, the arrow embedded itself in the leg of yet another orc, ending the creature's chase as if fell to the ground with a cry. But by this time, the last two remaining orcs were too close for her to fire again. And with fear and terror, she watched as the creatures came down upon her...

((Just remember that Aryssa does not remember who she is. She believes that she is Auora))

Feona could not believe her eyes; her sister had come back to her! In fact, she was more happy to see her instead of the fact that her life had just been saved. As she looked up at her sister (whose back was facing her, since she was dealing with the orcs head on), she noticed something different about her. She was wearing strange clothing which she did not recognize. What had happened to her royal garments? But of course, that thought was just a fleeting one, since more important matters were to be attended to, which included her own survival. With quick movements, the princess rose to her feet (which were now at this point bear) and followed her sister up a tree, who had to pull her up due to the fact that she was quite weak from the chase.

As soon as they were safe for the moment, the sister turned to Aryssa, a huge smile spreading across her bruised face. "Sister! I thought that I would never see you again!" With tears flowing from her eyes, the princess fell upon the other, her bleeding arms wrapping themselves around her figure. "Now that we are together, we will be able to get through this. We will be able to save Papa from letting the kingdom fall to utter ruin! Together we can! I promise, I will never let you out of my sight again!" As she spoke, more tears streamed down the side of her face. And from amist the soot, a smile formed across her abused face, most likely for the first time in days.

As this occured, the orcs, who had recovered from the attack, immediately began to chop at the tree's trunk, hoping to cut it down so that they would be able to kill the humans. As soon as she felt the tree shake, the sister slowly turned her head to their assailants who were now back on the attack. "Sister, do you still have your power? I myself am too weak to cast any spell and I am out of arrows... you look well enough, my beloved Aryssa..."

Feona could not believe what she was hearing. Could she be dreaming? For a moment, the girl shook her head, hoping that whatever she had believed that her sister had just said was all apart of her imagination. She had been running for quite sometime and could just be tired; that was the only explanation which the princess could muster. However, as soon as she opened her eyes again (she had closed them in attempts to clear her thoughts), the same bewildered almost demeaning look met her own gaze. Unable to move, Feona could just stare until the girl (who had once been her sister) quickly pushed her aside to deal with the creatures trying to kill them.

As her body fell into the branches, Feona could just watch as the girl, who had just called herself Aurora, tried to deal with the creatures who were now successfully cutting down the tree in which they were in. 'This is impossible,' thought Feona as she watched her sister from blurry eyes,'why does she not remember who she is... or who I am for that matter?! We were always so close. Could something have happened to her? Oh, Aryssa...' As she stared in helplessness, Aurora turned to face her, her face angry (which greatly shocked Feona, since Aryssa had never before been angry with in her life) as she spoke.

Due to the shock, Feona could just stare as the words left her sister's lips. "I...I..." stuttered the princess, unable to complete a sentence. She did not care about her life, or the fact that the orcs were able to kill her; she had lost the most important person in her life (since she pretty much believed that her father was dead). "Aryssa..." Was all the princess could say as the tree swayed to the side menacingly. However, somehow, Feona got the messge and slowly unsheathed a small dagger which she kept by her side, holding it out on shaking hand. Her eyes were blank, the look of disbelief glazing her features as she stared off into space, her hand just barely holding the knife in her hand...

Again, Feona was unable to act. She could just stare as her supposed sister jumped forth from the tree to attack the orcs. She could even see a difference in the way in which (Aurora) moved as she swiftly curved in figure to dodge the assaults that the orc placed upon her. Was she in fact not her sister? Could it just be a resemblance? No. That was impossible. Even despite her words and her strange personality, he could see it in her eyes when she had stared into them earlier; he could see her soul. She was definately her sister. But for some reason she had completely changed.

As she continued to watch the brawl occuring below her, a thought came to the princess. Could her current position be an after effect of the transport spell that the General had placed on them? It was possible. But then, why was she herself not affected? How come she still remembered who she was? And who was this Aurora character she kept on claiming herself to be? Was she in fact another person that actually existed? If that was the case, then could that other girl (undoubtedly Aurora) believe that she was Aryssa? If they were to survive, she would have to find out about who she believed to be Aryssa. And, in order to gain her trust, she would have to play along and call her by her supposed name.

As she came to this conclusion, a horrible thing happened, which instantly snapped the princess to attention: Aryssa, or Aurora, had been pinned to the ground by a boulder which the orc had thrown upon her. Lucky for her, she had killed the other, but now, she was trapped; she had to do something. "For the sake of Aryssa," said the princess aloud as she stood to her full height, staring down at the scenerio below, "give me strength so that I may call upon my inner power!" And with those words, Feona closed her eyes and pictured the rock, soon stretching her mind towards it in an attempt to connect with its image. She was greatly weak, there was no doubt about that, but she had to do this. With her forehead now creased from concentration, the princess continued to try and invision her mind waves as a solid force which could be tampered with and shaped to do ones bidding. "Aryssa...."

And, from amist her struggles, the power within her unleashed itself. In moments, her body was surrounded by a purple aura which flared around her image. In addition to her own body being shrouded in power, so was the rock. By this time however, the orc was about to slice Aurora's head from her shoulders. But Feona, who was now connected with the boulder, thrusted it at the creature, which successfully tore the orc's head from its shoulders. As the orc's headless body fell back onto the ground (with the boulder soon falling upon its dead image, which Feona immediately released), Feona jumped from the tree, her aura now gone.

Remember... she is Aurora now... Taking a deep breath, the princess fell to her knees, her hand falling upon the girl's forehead. "Are you alright, Aurora? I am sorry that I took so long... I have just been so confused lately..."

Feona could not help but smile as her "sister" praised her abilities; it was almost as if she was back to normal. However, as soon as she asked how she herself could use them, the princess' hopes were completely shattered; she was just living in a dream. It was so ironic, after all this time she had finally found her sister, but in truth, she had not. Of course, once "Aurora" had spoken, Feona almost automatically responded by saying that she could use the powers herself (since they were indeed sisters), however, she quickly stopped herself and just sighed, nodding with a faint smile. "It is no problem. It was my pleasure to save you. And, I do not know if you can learn those abilities. It is still a mystery why... umm, my sister and I can wield such powers. Ordinary humans cannot usually possess such a technique, however, we both were somehow blessed with them... while, at the same time cursed..." And with those words, her sentence faded, as her eyes drifted away into another world.

However, the girl spoke up almost instantly, asking for her name, causing her to break from her day dream and fall back into reality. "Oh, uhh, my name is Feona. It is nice to meet you. And I gather that you are Aurora, since you have had to remind me many times and for that I am sorry..." However, as she spoke, Aurora began to listen intently to the ground, an action which surprised the princess. "Umm, what are you doing?" By this time, Feona had pulled herself to her feet and had dusted herself off and was about to fix her hair. But before she had time to do so, this strange behavior in which Aurora was executing, caused her to forget all about her appearance.

The response, of course, caused the princess' heart to suddenly take flight; Aurora knew where her sister was! However, it quickly sank once more when she heard that she had been taken captive. "She's a slave!? Who has done this to her!?" Feona had, at this point, immediately gone up to her "sister", her eyes filled with hurt and despair. "Are they comming here, right now?"

Feona could not help but curse after Aurora found that the carriage carrying her sister's mind was not present. Turning away for a moment, the princess tried to regain her composure, which she was able, but after a few moments of pacing. And once she had obtained that serene state of mind, Feona turned to face the other, her eyes glazed by tears that were beginning to form; she was so close to her sister, but yet so far. Even though she was standing right before her, Violet's mind was lost... and that was the part of her sibling that she loved the most. Sighing, the princess leaned back against a tree in dispair as she listened to Aurora's words, causing her to curse once more, but this time more to herself than outloud. From the sound of the creature that was in charge of the "slave trade" was quite ferocious, just like her father's general was. And the only way she was able to beat him was with the help of her sister, before they were tossed in the dangerous lands outside of the kingdom... how was she supposed to fight such a creature without her?

Aurora continued to speak as Feona continued to drown within her thoughts of helplessness, until she mentioned about going to her village. Immediately, the princess looked up at her sister. Why did she not think of it before? If she lived in a certain town (most likely the same one in which Aurora lived) than they were sure to notice the fact that she was not Aurora but Violet! Even though the idea was a short in the dark, it was still some form of hope; something which she did not have as of late. And with that, the princess immediately stood to her feet, nodding, a smile spreading across his face. "Of course. I will follow you to wherever there is shelter, my friend. Thank you for your kindess." And with that, the princess bowed her head before waiting for the other to lead the way to the supposed village she had spoken of.
