Maybe, *shrugs* You guys can keep posting if you like- only two of us are interacting with Naya

[Ace of flames01]

Idk... I might have to shut this thread down for reals now...

[Lord Zee]

It had a good run, I won't deny that. You do as you wish, I support any decision.

[Ace of flames01]

Alright then! I declare this thread officially shut down! Thank you all for participating and I'm sorry that we had to end it before any real romance got started but I'm afraid that's how the cookie crumbles. I wish you all the best of luck on your other threads and thanks again so much for participating! :)

@Ace of flames01
Aye aye captain!

Twas a pleasure playing with y'all.

[Lord Zee]

And now Lucius can never become evil and get his revenge. It was probably for the best.

[Ace of flames01]

@Lord Zee yes it was. No evil.

[RiverMaiden]

...I don't know whether I should laugh or cry right now.

Thank you all so very much for RPing with me in this grand, bumpy adventure. This was one of the first RP threads I had joined when I first entered the Forum, and I wouldn't have changed my choice for the world. From the conflicts to fluffs to sudden goodbyes, this was a ride that I was happy to enjoy.

Thank you, Ace, for allowing me to witness and experience this wonderful journey. And to everyone here, I hope we meet again, and create more beautiful worlds and adventures! See ya!

hahaha, we should all do spoilers on our characters now... xD

Spoilers: If Aurora got together with ANYBODY (and I do mean anyone since her sexuality would allow that), she would have been very unlikely to go crazy, since a stable anchor would keep her from going off the deep end, and instead become a very enthusiastic lumberjack when the war ended, enjoying her life with her loved one.

If she didn't... Well, blood would be spilt, and she would die. Either by her own hand, or by the armies of the Kingdom which she had just relieved of its inhabitants...

Very cheery futures, she had.

I was trying to make a sort of inner struggle for the faerie, spurred on by the offhand comment made by Uriel ("To follow my king's orders is absolute[...] But lately, I've done nothing but... let them go. The princess, the human, the fairie..."), a direct signal of insubordination on the normally loyal general's part. On one hand, she wanted to keep her loyalty to her kingdom, said kingdom having helped her through her depression and lack of purpose. On the other hand, her kingdom was going to take her 'purpose' away from her (killing off all enemies of the Light, specifically the Children of Darkness), which should not, could not, happen for the sake of her sanity. Her 'purpose' was everything to her, the only reason for her continued existence. Without that purpose, she would have killed herself on that fateful night her family died. The appearance of a "loved one", someone who could give her a new purpose when her old one was denied from her, was the only way she could keep her sanity and not go on an insanity-induced blood rage.

Well, for Kelvin:

He died at the hands of his closest friend, trying to defend his sister whom had been turned into a vampire. Up until that point he had been almost as fanatical as Aurora- seeing someone he loved turn had 'flipped the switch' in his head. Realizing his mistake, he tried to protect his sister and smuggle her back to the Dark world, and was caught halfway by his friend's patrol. His friend believed that Kelvin had become deluded and tried to reason with him, but had no choice but to order the crossbowmen to shoot when he drew his sword. Kelvin reawoke a day later, to find his sister staked out on the ground, baking in the sun. In the end though, he was too weak from bloodloss to help her or himself, and they both died. His friend reported him to have died an honorable death on the battlefield, as a favor to his family (who knew the truth) and to protect them from the shame of a traitor.

As a ghost he had become angry and irrational at what had happened, and it took a long time for him to cool off. In a way, his ghost self slowly became an entirely different person, as pre-death he had been a fairly simple man. It was death that showed him what truly mattered to him. His goal before reincarnating was this; creating a world where those he loved could be reincarnated on either side of the border, and live safe, happy lives.

This makes the story a bit tragic, as if he did follow a romantic path and fall in love, it may have brought about events that eventually resulted in him moving on to reincarnation- leaving behind whomever he had fallen for.

Arg, real sorry for disappearing folks, but between finals and moving back home, it's been near impossible to try and get online. I'm really sad to see this RP go, but I totally understand. It's been great working with you beautiful bastards and I hope we see each other again somewhere else in the Guild.

Anyway, for Asher I was actually trying really, really hard to avoid the jerk with a heart of gold trope, as would have become painfully apparent in any romance he would have had. That's not to say that he's cruel or heartless, but more so like he doesn't understand how to truly be kind to others. It would have shown itself in the form of his inability to keep his sharp tongue at bay and just in general not knowing how to empathize or even sympathize with others.
