Evangelina Vertesca - Huntress (Narrator)

In the distance she finally caught a glimpse of what she'd been waiting to encounter, the spiky hills of the Carpathian mountains rising up behind the bright light that was Adin. Her soft brown boots had taken a beating, but she knew well how to fix them up and would attend to them later than night when she'd arrive to her final destination and better understood what was being asked of her. The king's letter was strange and quite ambigious in nature, but needing an adventure and proving herself through a series of games in her own town of Demura, Eva was able to pack up and head out to a strange land for a unique adventure. She feared very little but knew that fear was healthy in most situations and tried to utilize reason and judgement to assist her when she was the only one in the crowd seeming to lack terror. A smile touched her pretty mouth as she made her last few steps over a small hill and made visual contact with the people of Adin. The beautiful city she once gazed upon in her childhood was but a shadow of what she'd expected to see. 

There were people everywhere, still busy trying to finish up their daily tasks and get their families inside before nightfall. The smell of anxiety and the electricity of worry sat heavy in the ether that surrounded her small frame. She continued toward the castle gates, others moving in the general direction that looked as if they fit not in the general population. Eva pulled her papers from a small satchel as she approached the small group of people that stood about before a few guards. Crumbs littered the ground around her, the after effects of her treats that her Aunt had packed from the bakery for her long trip. A young knight with blonde hair stood just beside her patiently awaiting his (Pete) turn to enter, as did a fiercesome man with chestnut brown hair sprinkled upon his strong face (Tyden).

She extended her small hand and smiled, "I am Eva from Demura. I assume you are here for the same as I?" She lifted her paper and nodded toward his as a lovely woman with short fiery red hair and bright colored clothing moved into focus. (Lily). Eva nodded to her and turned as a sentinel walked from the inner gates of the palace and looked at everyone. 

"Papers please. If you've com..." He was interrupted by a knight dressed from head to toe in armor (Reynault). "Hello there, fine fellow. Papers everyone. As I was saying, if you've come in response to the great King of Adin, please do follow me into the grand hall and I will give you drink and further instructions."

Just before them moved into the walls of the castle courtyard one of the guards moved forward, "Sir. Another male came just but a little early riding a horse and we allowed him entrance because he provided his papers. We apologize." He bowed as if waiting to be hit.

The sentinel shook his head and muttered, "Yes, well, carry on. We shall catch up to him (Marcus) shortly."

They begin to walk into the walls as the guard looked at the beautiful blonde (Kaelle) and nodded, his eyes a little wide. "Um, I'm but a guard, but please do hurry to catch the rest." He barely looked at her papers, but rather starred at the shimmer of her perfectly golden hair. Beautiful is what he whispered as she passed.
