The Lands of Wyvernhallow ~Literate RP~

featherstar_stormclan • 15 March 2015 at 12:48 AM

{Intro}
The kingdom of Wyvernhallow lies on the island of Hollow's Peak. Along with Wyvernhallow there sits five other lands, rival kingdoms and neutral territory used to discuss treaties.
In all lands Sorcery, or practice of magic, has been outlawed and those accused of practicing it are accused on account of death.
But unlike the other kingdoms, Wyvernhallow is more lenient the future prince, Johnathan, helping accused Sorcerers escape, fighting with his mother Diana until his last breath for the safety of his future people. And yet, very few feel safe in this land.
A time for rebellion is upon the great land of Wyvernhallow, and it will shake all of Hollow's Peak, from the snowy alps of Camlann to the cliff side kingdom of Idris.

Alyss stood outside the castle grounds, in the forest. Her eyes watched around her as she scanned for anyone who might see her.
Seeing all was clear she headed into the woods before stumbling back after running into Cole, the knight was walking out the same way she tried entering and his clothes were the only reason she hadn't seen him.

"Sorry there." Cole said picking up Alyss' arm and hauling her up. "Didn't see you, I hadn't meant to run into you. Well I mean I was planning to run into you but not actually run into you." He rambled.
"Anyways I was wondering if I could get a treatment for shoulder pain."

((anyone feel free to drag Riko into something or totally interrupt Lutz in his stroll. 😋))


Lutz strolled through the city like he had nowhere to go and nowhere he had to be. His idle stroll through the city he'd arrived in only this morning dragged on, extended by the various sights down this street and that. If he was going to look for work at the castle, he may as well become familiar with the city he'd spend his spare time in. He was pretty confident they'd want him in the castle. The fool was tired of travel. He needed some stability, at least for a while. Lutz was typically modest about his abilities, but when it came to getting work, he wasn't going to sell himself short. After all, he was a man of many talents, and they didn't stop at entertainment...

Tawny:

My black dress swayed around me as I walked briskly out of the castle. I didn't live there, I was only a maid and preferred my house to the fancy lifestyle they had in there. Closing the oak door behind myself, I clapped my hands, two flames lighting up on the candles in the room. Whilst my bed made itself, the oven cooked and the clock ticked, I sat in silence, hoping no one would stumble upon me. After all, a maid in service to the queen shouldn't be a magic user. And I was one of the people to be born with magic flowing through my veins, forcing myself to work for the royal family and keep my powers hidden from the outside world.

{I'll get Riko involved with Sebastian. And have Alyss run into Lutz.}

"Oh sure." Alyss said, "I brought some with me in case something happened when I was gathering herbs." She said rummaging in her satchel, turning away from Cole her eyes flared a burnt orange color and a small red potion appeared in her bag.
"Here you go." She said handing it to him blinking before turning and heading into the city. She rushed past people and stumbled into a man with somewhat shaggy golden hair.
The girl's blue-gray eyes widened as she went face first into the floor, rolling deftly at the last minute and slamming her right shoulder and arm into the cobblestone floor. A small handled blade slid from the top of her boot as she fell and skidded to the mans feet.

Sebastian left the castle kitchens on a daily run to gather necessary supplies to keep the nobility happy. He went into the market and went to the stalls of the farmers and started buying things. He started back to the kitchens in the palace, but turned instead and headed to the training area for the knights.
Sometimes they needed someone to cheer them on-especially on days like this.

_____________________________

Tawny:

I looked up at the clock in horror. I had taken a nap for far too long and was already late for my kitchen duties! Oh no! My silk black dress swayed around my legs as I started to run towards the castle. The sleeve of my left arm was long and it got in the way a bit but I didn't mind. My other hand was free with only the sleeve on it. The sword supported by my black ribbon beat strongly and painfully against my leg as I continued running and stumbling down the rocky path of the kingdom towards the castle of the Queen. My special bag jingled with the items inside it and I remembered the strange pendant I had inherited from my nose around which was accompanied by the fan.

I opened my bag with magic and looked around. Fastening the locket around my neck, I beamed and hid it under my dress whilst examining the fan. Without closing my bag, I ran on, examining every inch of the delicate beauty Mistress never liked. Every fold stood out, the material glimmered in the sunlight and the edges were smooth, gentle to the touch. I smiled just when I crashed into something hard.

"Ouch!" I yelled out in pain, feeling metal hard on my cheek. I landed on the ground and rubbed my head in agony staring up at the figure I had walked into. I was surprised to see a knight. He was wearing his armour, his sword in it's case, his orange hair messed up and his dark red eyes surprised and apologetic. Widening my eyes, I saw the Queen's crest on his chest and I bowed hurriedly saying, "I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! I wasn't looking where I was-"

I stopped mid-sentence and looked at the spilled contents of my silk bag. Everything was in a pile, my notebook, pens, jewelry and many other things I collected. In haste, I began to pick everything up and sort it back into my bag with care, not daring to look at the stranger helping me.

"Thank you." I said looking at him. He smiled answering with a short "no problem". I sealed the bag carefully and carried on running to the castle. If I was late, goodness knows what Mistress could do.

@appleblizzard @featherstar_stormclan @poe Sorry it took so long to post.

~Theon~

As the breeze picked up, tossing his unruly locks about his face, Theon lowered his armload of swords to the ground. Brushing the stray hairs from his eyes, he looked around the courtyard, noting the various groups of people. Then taking up his load once more, he continued to the armory. He knocked loudly before pressing the door open, careful to mind his manners when it came to the knights. Empty. He strode into the room and returned each of the sharpened swords, placing them neatly on the rack.

Suddenly, he saw a mouse scuttle across the floor, ducking beneath one of the benches. Theon glanced around in order to insure that he was alone and took the bucket from the corner and removed his outer jacket. He crept up slowly on the mouse, which shivered and flinched as he approached. He lunged at the small creature, attempting to scoop it up in the pail, but it dashed out of his way. Again, he cornered it and tried again, but the mouse escaped once more.

“Stupid mouse,” He grunted angrily, “I’m trying to save you!”

In one swift movement, he caught the quivering rodent in the bucket and looking down at the frightened being, all his anger evaporated. “Come on; let’s go back to the forest.” He whispered gently, as if he were speaking to a babe. Then he dropped his jacket over the opening of the bucket in order to hide the mouse and left the armory. He marched through the corridors, his head held high and his usual expression of indifference plastered on his face.

{It's alright.}

Cole shrugged at Alyss' strange behavior and made to head back to the castle, on his way he downed the medicine Alyss had given him and put the bottle in a small sash on his tunic. He wandered through the streets and headed up to the training grounds for the knights. Hopefully he'd find someone to spar with soon.

((Sorry some assignments needed finishing))

Lutz was broken from his thoughts when a girl with a face full of freckles crash to the ground in front of him. He was disappointed in himself for his inattentiveness for a fleeting moment, then smiled cheerfully.

"Are you all right?" The fool leaned over to offer his hand to help the pale girl up, in the process stepping on the small knife he'd seen on the ground. Ever the skeptic, he wasn't too keen on getting stabbed, though he was sure the the girl was harmless to him in this moment.

_______________________________________________________________

Riko felt the rush of air as the eager blade rushed passed her arm, narrowly missing. Following the motion of her sidestep through, she lunged, her enemy's blade catching hers in a parry at the last moment. Riko danced backwards, back on the defence. She feigned left, but leaped right, finally tripping up her opponent. He was too slow to bring his blade around this time, and Riko triumphantly slapped him in the side with the flat of her blunt training sword. Her opponent laughed, out of breath, as he dropped his sword. She grinned, a little short on breath herself after a drawn out duel.

Over his shoulder, Riko caught a familiar pair of striking green eyes. A black-haired young man was approaching, and she was curious to know what he'd shown up here for.

@poe @mila_titan @appleblizzard @munchkinthemunch
{Tis alright Poe, we've all got stuff to do. I almost wasn't able to get on today. Band is so tiring.}

Alyss took the mans hand and lifted herself up. "I'm fine thanks." She said before grabbing her dagger. "Stupid things, but I can't get herbs without them." She added before stowing it back in the top of her boot.
"You seem new, how long have you been here?" She asked observing the man before her.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sebastian smiled at Riko as he found at least two people at the training grounds. "I was gathering supplies for the kitchens and wondered if you guys were needing anything, or wanting something." He said.

~Brigida~

Plunging the floor-brush back into the pail beside her, Brigida stood up. She had been putting off going to the well for fresh water but at this point, the murky water was doing more harm than good, turning the dirt-caked floor into a pool of mud. She picked up the bucket; both hands wrapped firmly around it and called out to the head cook that she would be back soon. As she made her way through the nearly vacant hallways, Brigida found herself occasionally looking down at the surface of the filthy water. She watched as the grease floated on the liquid, dancing and twisting into different shapes as she walked.

Just as she was thinking about the spot’s resemblance to a lady, she found herself crashing into someone, hard. The bucket flew from her grasp and the water splashed on her and the other figure. She wiped the water from her face and looked over at the person she had collided with. The girl, who appeared slightly older than her, sat on the floor; the front of her auburn dress was soaked with water. Her expression was an unreadable mixture of surprise and something else, something cold.

“I’m so sorry.” Brigida bumbled, her words almost a whisper and her wide eyes burned with tears of embarrassment, “I wasn’t looking. This is my fault.”

“Yes, it is.” The girl replied coolly as she got to her feet. She was much taller than Brigida. The frank tone that the girl had used made her words hurt even more and Brigida ducked her head in guilt. “Then again,” the girl continued, “I suppose it takes two people to run into one another. You should watch where you’re going though.”

“She’s so rude,” Brigida thought, “She’s not even trying to be polite.”

“My name is Roseia. I’m a maid in the palace. You must work in the kitchens.” The girl stated and just as Brigida was about to ask how she knew, Roseia continued, “Your dress is filthy and old, too unflattering to be a maid or work around the royals; you’re too pale to have seen much sun, so you don’t work in the fields; you are covered in food stains, so you work in the kitchen; you are far too polite to be in a position of leadership; your hands as worn and wrinkled, so you work with water. You wash dishes or floors, or both.”

Brigida was far too insulted to congratulate the girl on her powers of deduction. Her cheeks flamed with an angry blush. “What’s your name?” Roseia asked. And for a moment Brigida entertained the idea of slapping the girl and walking out without another word. But, she answered evenly, “Its Brigida.”

“Brigida, huh? Sounds like an old widow name.” Roseia said matter-of-factly and she started walking away. “Goodbye, Brigida. Maybe I’ll see you around.”

“I certainly hope not.” Brigida muttered. And with a huff, she picked up the bucket and headed towards the well.

"Indeed!" Lutz's contagious grin grew.

"Just got in this morning. Quite the place, it is. Oh!" Lutz exaggerated his realization. He liked to be polite. "The name's Lutz. And yours, if I may?"

______________________________________________________________

Riko made a show of contemplating what she might like.

"Well..." She drew out the vowel. With a girlish smile she began what she was sure Sebastian was anticipating, "I certainly wouldn't mind if some sweets happened to show up with my name on them."

Her sweet tooth was one of the first things the men around here had learned about her.

featherstar_stormclan • 30 March 2015 at 12:34 AM

@poe @mila_titan @appleblizzard

"My name is Alyss." She said. "Good to meet you Lutz, where are you heading I might be able to help you out."
/If only to keep you from getting in my way again.\ She thought.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sebastian nodded. "I'll see what I can do." He said, "It might be a bit, I have to get these down to the kitchens before dinner, but it won't be that hard to sneak something out from there." He said.

poe • 30 March 2015 at 2:24 AM

@mila_titan @appleblizzard @featherstar_stormclan

"A pleasure." Lutz extended a hand to shake. "I'm slowly making my way to the castle. Thought I'd stroll through the town and take in the sights a little, first. But I should probably keep on, eh?"

_______________________________________________________________

Riko's little smile held fast at the thought of getting something tasty. They didn't often get things like sweets or baked goods of the treat variety. Knights weren't terribly spoiled.

"Thanks, Sebastian. How's it going in the kitchens? Busy as ever?" She asked.

featherstar_stormclan • 30 March 2015 at 10:50 PM

@poe @mila_titan @appleblizzard
{So guys I've added a festival type thing to this place. A mid-summer's festival in which the lords and rulers of other kingdoms come to a revolving kingdom to relish in prosperity and survival of the damp rain filled springs. It is taking place in around 1 Role-play day(so like 4 more real life days). This year it takes place in Wyvernhallow.}

Sebastian nodded. "Even more so with the approaching festival. We're working overtime to ensure we can make all the food properly, it's fairly irritating but when other nobles are coming it's kind of hard not to act your best." He said, "I'll be back soon then." he said smiling at Riko.
"Enjoy your training. I'll look for you here once I get some extra sweets." And with that the boy turned and started heading to the kitchens again.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Probably, it's fairly unusual to get someone new to the kingdom at this time. But I don't think the Queen would turn you away." She said shaking Lutz's hand.
"I can show you around before I head back to home if you want." She offered. /If he's polite enough to help me up I can at least show him around.\ She thought waiting for a reply.

poe • 1 April 2015 at 12:36 PM

@mila_titan @appleblizzard @featherstar_stormclan


"Don't work too hard." Riko chuckled, waving goodbye.

The knight sighed, thinking about how she hoped to have time off for the festival.

_______________________________________________________________

"Sure, sweetheart." Lutz winked. He really couldn't help himself.

It wasn't yet late in the afternoon, and there were all kinds of people wandering the streets going about their business. Many even had smiles on their faces. Except the man with a distinctly indifferent expression who carried a bucket as he walked down the street.

featherstar_stormclan • 2 April 2015 at 12:09 AM

@poe @mila_titan @appleblizzard

Alyss furrowed her eyebrows at Lutz but shrugged it off. She looked around as she led him through the lower town. They passed Theon and Alyss stopped long enough to call out to the blacksmith in training.
"What's in the bucket that's causing you such anger?" she asked the man.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sebastian returned to the kitchens and set to work distributing the supplies he had gathered and set with the other cooks to preparing dinner for the nobles.

Deleted • 9 April 2015 at 2:36 AM

@featherstar_stormclan @poe @appleblizzard Sorry it took so long. Thanks for your patience! 😊

~Theon~

Theon’s eyes darkened in annoyance but he tried not to betray his emotions in his expression; Even then, irritation and anger boiled just beneath the surface. He stopped and turned to face the doctor, a forced smile on his face. His mind raced for a good excuse for the bucket as saving the life of a food-stealing, disease-carrying rodent wasn't exactly smiled upon.

“A dead raccoon.” Theon lied, meeting her gaze. “He’s been hiding in my wood reserves for ages now and I've finally got him. I’m taking him out to the forest to bury him. I don’t want him rotting outside of the blacksmith’s workshop.

“Well I’d best go. I want to get rid of this thing as soon as I can.” And Theon turned to leave, hoping that his tale was enough to ward of more questions.

featherstar_stormclan • 9 April 2015 at 3:44 PM

@mila_titan @poe @appleblizzard It's alright we've all got a ton of stuff going on in real life right now.

Alyss nodded at Theon's words. "Well good for you on catching it. I hope everything turns out alright for your forge." she sais smiling.

Cole was stopped on his way to the training grounds as a castle servant ran up to him slightly out of breath. "Sir the Queen and Prince require the presence of all the knights at the main entrance to the castle the first rulers of the other kingdoms are arriving and they need the knights and doctor present." he stated before running to the training clearing to tell the remaining knights.
Cole sighed as he turned in his path and marched up to the castle bowing as he reached the Prince and Queen.

poe • 12 April 2015 at 11:25 PM

@mila_titan @appleblizzard @featherstar_stormclan

"Ages? That's a little... Sad." Lutz remarked, a hint of condescension in his tone. A raccoon hiding there for ages? Lutz was amazed a rodent could hide that long. Perhaps he shouldn't have picked this castle.

Back in the castle, Riko quickly caught word that the knights were needed at the main entrance of the castle. She rushed off the training field to straighten out her appearance and put her armour on. Riko was well versed in getting her armour on quickly. She was amazed that the people here never gave advanced notice of anything.

featherstar_stormclan • 12 April 2015 at 11:58 PM

@poe @mila_titan @appleblizzard

Alyss rolled her eyes. "Well sometimes creatures can be crafty." She said shrugging. It was at that point a servant approached them.
"We require the presence of Alyss at the castle. The representatives from the other kingdoms have now arrived." He said breathlessly.
Alyss groaned inwardly but turned to Lutz. "I apologize but I must go, I hope you find what you came here to look for, and I'm deeply sorry I couldn't give you a proper tour." With that she turned and headed to the castle, bowing to the royals before she took her place near the far side of the steps.
