The Fallen One

@rivaan Fair enough! Haha.

The Fallen One

@rivaan - Didn't mention this, but other mythical creatures should be rare. Not that dragons don't exist... though it was probably more along the lines of a drake than a true dragon she fought. Even Giants are rare I'd say, despite being very similar to humans. ^.^ If you want, I can write more information on it... but yeah. Other races and creatures are rare compared to humans. :)

Regardless, what a fun post to read!~

@Rekaigan@rivaan

Ok, the IC is up! ^.^

The Fallen One

Your eyes begin to grow heavy, slowly closing until all you see is darkness, quietly drifting off to sleep like any other normal night. However tonight is different, for the dream that comes to visit you, is not one you ever recall having. It seems so real and yet your vision is blurred and your awareness is heightened, as if you knew fully well that this is not reality, and yet you can feel your heart beat faster and harder. The scene is painted before you of a town square inside castle walls, a crowd merry and intent on their prizes, for it's one of few that parade slaves across a platform like animals for the sell. As one of the women steps on the stage, she becomes crystal clear, and you feel a sense of urgency as if she is in danger and if you don't protect her she will face something terrible.

The scene seems to skip ahead and you see her in chains, upon the floor with cuts and bruises. A man stands over her with a stick, wrapped in spikes, pacing back and forth as she cries her heart out. The dream doesn't last long enough for you to determine if she dies or not, but your heart sinks at the thought of an innocent passing away from such hatred. Suddenly a whisper of a voice enters the fog, clear as the cloudless afternoon, "you cannot let this come to pass, my dear guardian... please, save her, for she is our only hope."And just like that, the dreams ends.

Days Later...

Both Ellie and Amelia arrive at a kingdom on the western plains, a small one, but still within the territory that claims slavery. Somehow they knew the directions to it without any prior knowledge, as if something or someone was leading them to it's walls, urging them to go inside to find the mysterious woman. Surprisingly, the scene that comes to their gaze is exactly like the dream, with a crowd that is talkative and eager to buy the new stock of slaves, a string of individuals being forced onto the platform in the middle of the square. That's when they spot her, a commoner woman with fair skin, blue eyes, and stunning golden hair which somehow makes her stand out against the other potential slaves.

Quickly, the bidding begins, the fiercest being for the mystery woman, as everyone else sees the value in her unique and beautiful look as well. Most of them are too caught up in the moment, but a couple cast odds glances to Ellie, her great height making her stand out. A man who looks more like a butcher than any sort of noble seems to be winning, and looks very familiar to both women, sending shivers down the spine. It seems they both have a chance to stop what's about to happen next - the woman's beating and possible death. What will they do?

Quest Notes

Welp, here we are! They both have the chance to stop the second part of the dream from happening! Do they try and outbid the man, stop the auction, or just try and run off with Evelyn? So many choices. You guys are free to control the NPCs, including the bidders, the auction peoples, and the guards. ^.^

The Fallen One

Since the two don't know each other, I'll be setting the scene of introducing the message to both of them and then fast forward to them both being where Evelyn is. You two can then take it from there. ^.^

Edit: Finished Evelyn's CS!~

The Fallen One

@Rekaigan Haha, very observant of you!~ I'm finishing up Evelyn's backstory. Not as long as normal, but there's not much excitement in a servant's life anyways. xD

The Fallen One

Age: 26
Race: Human

Occupation: Commoner (Ancient Royalty)

Personality: Evelyn is both a confident, strong woman and a dependent, clingy girl. Her life has been one of mundane housework under the care of a noble man, serving even in her childhood as a servant to his whims and needs. This has left her scarred without much love in her life and a hate for being yelled at or being in any sort of trouble. However she has come out the other side with a strength rarely seen and a will for doing good in the world where she is able. Still, she can be fragile at times, giving off a picture of a broken woman with hidden strength in her heart. She is otherwise kind and secretly a huge romantic, despite her draw towards other women.

Likes: Reading, lakes, flirting, helping others, being submissive
Dislikes: Being yelled at, spiders, dark places, being alone

Deity: Arete, Goddess of Virtue
Abilities: Evelyn has a particular seal on her inner wrist in the shape of Celtic knot. Though for most of her life, she hasn't been able to use it, it has a couple abilities;
• Object Forming: In times of need or when she calls upon it, she can manifest any physical object into temporary existence. Normally these are things like shields or weapons, which are always unbreakable and weightless.
• Blink: This is a short-ranged instant teleport which is activated by will or in times of extreme danger. She cannot teleport anyone but herself however and her belongings.
• Martial Insight: Though not giving her the ability to master martial fighting, the seal does give her insight in moderate techniques of fighting, giving her a decent chance in most melee battles.
Skills: Housekeeping and basic survival skills, along with journeyman martial knowledge from her seal. She can also cook, sew, read and write well.

Background
Evelyn was born to a common man and woman, but did not know of her parents past the age of three, when she was effectively sold into Lord Heril's service. Though not considered a true slave, she nevertheless had little freedoms and was forced to stay on the estate at almost all times, even as a little girl. Due to this, the closest thing she had to a family was the other servants, though even they weren't really that close to her. Instead, they acted more like teachers and tutors for her duties as a house servant, in which she learns how to cook, clean, sew, and tend to errands for the lord.

Most of her life did not see much else from it other than servitude, though more stress was put on her when she found that it was common for the lord to force a pseudo-marriage within his servants to bear more children. This was not good news for Evelyn despite that most of the women and men seemed to accept it, finding at least some comfort in pairing up, but she knew she never really enjoyed being around men much. Finally, when she hit her twenty-sixth birthday, Lord Heril told her that she would be married within the next month.

Something sparked in her and she couldn't stand it anymore, being told what to do, how to do it, and who to love. She made an attempt to escape and left in the middle of the night. Sadly, she was not skilled enough to slip away and was caught in the town over. When handed over to her lord, he didn't just beat her, but put her up for actual slavery, where one had no rights and no protection against their master or others...

The Fallen One

The moon is my sun,
the night is my day,
Blood is my life,
and you are my prey.

The world is not without strife and danger, but neither can you call it without peace or warmth, for in the fourth era of Ioeter, it seems outside of the squabbling and greed of mortal kingdoms that the land is without fear. People travel, adventure, and lives their lives without worries of an army sweeping by their homestead, the dead rising from their graves, or some mythical beast terrorizing the countryside. There are battles and wars between kingdoms, but this is a truth of morality that will always exist, and therefore the fourth era is called one of peace.

... but how long does peace ever last? Inside the belly of the northern mountains lies another beast, awakening once more to spread it's claws across Ioeter. Once again, the gods of light see the danger slowly groaning from it's slumber and send aid to the mortals in the form of a human woman. She doesn't seem like much, but there is a depth to her power that is uniquely hers and Arete will once again guide guardians to her aid so that the land may survive the onslaught.

M A G I C

Magic in Ioeter is normally from two main sources; either the gods themselves, counted as divine magic or by study of the arcane energies that flow through the world. For obvious reasons, wizardry is not an art form that is widely spread since it can take decades for some to even understand the simplest spell. Of course there are unique individuals that have an better, innate understanding of the arcane flows, but they are few and far between. Though not exactly more common than wizards, are those who are gifted with divine magic - usually in times of great need or when a deity chooses a champion.

The Seven Elementos

@Kaithas I'd say stuff, but people usually tend to ignore me in OOCs, so... I tend to stay quiet. :P Seems silly to say something and then be ignored, right? xD
