Remy

Leaning forward, Yuri kissed Remy on the forehead and smiled, "I said I love you."

Those words... They were so simple, yet so complicated. Nevertheless, they create the most beautiful statement ever spoken within the English language. So much meaning and passion are tied within those three words... even more so being spoken by the man watching over him. Remy blushed, flushed with the realization that Yuri meant it... truly meant what he said. The charge of adrenaline gave him a second wind well enough to brighten his features with joy. Slowly, he arched his neck up towards his Love, softly pecking Yuri's lips with his to show him just how much he loved him back. But even that action seemed to cause more unknown pains. Remy hissed under his breath when their lips parted.

"Do you have the strength to get up? I can dress you."

"Yes... I think I can... stand." With his arms around Yuri's neck, Remy attempted to find his feet only to cry out fiercely as his movements awoke a scorching pain down his back. His knees buckled but he held his place, "GGAAHHHH! My Back!" Tears whelped in his eyes again as he worked to control his breathing; the unknown 3rd-degree burn made its appearance known to him. "It... burns! What the hell.. did I do to myself...this time?"

Remy's used to these moments - falling unconscious to wake up finding himself damaged or the room torn up. Granted, starting magical school helped to eliminate such events happening daily. But recently, when he did have an episode like this, he ends up damaged, weak, and unaware of what transpired around him. He felt more like a burden than a helping hand...

Lithy

Touch and go - Lithy's awareness of her surroundings sat on the edge of falling over the edge of her PTSD. The screams of the assassin who lost his fingers for holding his tongue echoed throughout the room, almost causing Lithy to take a knee to avoid panicking. Her breath ran sharp and quick and her eyes closed to aid in maintaining her balance. She was already exhausted, hungry, and anxious about getting to a more secure place; if there was one... Now, this! The blood wasn't the problem, nor the gore of the act. No, she just knows far too well how the assassin feels right now.

"Everything is fine," Soul noted, pulling Lithy's attention towards the softer tone that wasn't normal for him. It was - strange, but comforting. Blinking back to reality, Lithy stood frozen, staring at her classmate almost as if she barely heard him... Then, she drew in a deeper breath and released it along with her past fears, and gave Soul a reassuring nod. She's still not use to others being considerate around her; it was much appreciated. Everything is fine... for now...

Emelia looked at Adam a little disappointed, "Okay, that's enough." Waving her hand before the damaged assassin - returning his fingers where they once were, unharmed.

Lithy was shocked. "She has regeneration?" she whispered in awe, wondering if any of the other students see the Librarian use such a high-level healing spell before. Silently, she listened further as Emelia gained more information from the assassins, learning that many were prisoners of Madame Muir. She enchanted them to attack, then teleported Black Hill Top into an inner dimensional trap! How was any of that even possible? The woman had already set plans in motion for the very location they were supposed to be safe... They were sitting ducks just waiting to be roasted! Lithy's senses were on high alert, now more than ever. If that madwoman was able to pull this off once, how possible would it be for her to attempt again?

"We'll never be safe - no matter where we go," Lithy hissed under her breath.

"Obviously that isn't going to work now. So what are you going to do with us?" The assassins knew they were stuck there, but - frankly - they're in a better place, right?

When Soul spoke to the crowd, his typical flat canter had returned. It had Lithy wondering if the walking spirit recently learned about how the tone of one's voice can express more than a single word... All of his suggestions were wise, but Lithy wasn't sure about any of them except death. The whole idea of dealing with these men again truly was an irritating thought, but she was not concerned about them.

"Um... well, the assassin did say that Muir would bring them back if they were successful here," Lithy's voice was timid but easily heard. Even though Amos was asleep in her arms, she was still nervous about talking before such a large group. "They're stuck... She's not going to bring them back. And, frankly, do they want to return to prison, or be freed?"

Staring at the responses of the assassins, she wondered if any of them wanted their lives back. "If they are bounded to a Contract of Truth, to never return to Muir or attack any innocent life for her sake, then it'll be possible for them to gain their freedom, and us... a day of peace? Maybe?" Folding her arms around herself for comfort, Lithy cringed, "But, I'm more worried about those ghouls more than the assassins... What were those things? And where can we go to stay safe, if Muir's capable of just transporting our entire location to - another realm of her choosing?" That's crazy!"

The Book of Wynn Series

Act I: The Protegio Institute

The Story

On the planet Wynn, Twelve Top Students from the most elite magical school in Arnestra Sera, The Protegio Institute, are about to complete their last year as Laymagi, preparing for their Finals. If they pass, they graduate as Acolytes and gain access to the magical underground world of Arnestra Sepa and their new home - the Protegio's Six Towers. Also above and beneath the surface of this planet are the Arch Protegas - the sacred Gateways to the 888 Plaines of Existence and the center of magic throughout the universe.

Under the watchful eyes of the Master Sufi (Sufu/Sufa), these Acolytes will embark on their amazing magical journey through each step of their training (Acolyte to Journeymagi to Apprentice) - until they've harnessed their inner Xim - their true magical connection to the pure source of all magic within the 888 Plains of Existence, becoming Sufi. But, other eyes are secretly watching these students, much more carefully than the Master Sufi.

As if these new Acolytes didn't have enough to worry about, word spreads among the student body of an old practice never used in over 200 years. Well, there's been no need for it - until now. The Grandmasters of the Six Towers, known as the Master Avats, have sensed an abnormality; one they haven't felt in a long time. Among the new Acolytes, there's a Taun - a student who holds a pure connection to all six forms of magic.

For six years, a life of solitude is the standard training for a Taun, allowing them to strengthen their powers within each tower of magic individually. Such a life is unimaginable to these new students and all wish to avoid such a fate - losing their freedom for unfathomable power; no connection to family, friends, relationships - they'll even have to disconnect from their dragons during the time! That's unheard of but necessary for this training. It is known that Tauns are the only students qualified to become Avats, sacrificing their lives to protect Wynn and the Arch Protega from below, while the Avat Legionnaires, Master Dragonriders, protect them from above, and the Twelve Elders of the Citadel protects all of Wynn.

Meanwhile, as the new Acolytes begin their new lives, another strange phenomenon occurs - The Gatesway opens for the first time in two hundred years as well, to a dying planet called - Earth. And unknown to the protectors of Wynn, an Earthling was pulled through the portal.

Can these students manage to keep up with their studies, and protect their freedom, with these issues looming over them?

Note:
(So basically, as our dear Yuri goes through the trials of graduation and the fears of becoming a Taun, he and his friends encounter the Earthling Remy. And, for some odd reason, Yuri attempts to keep this outsider's presence a secret, rather than turning the stranger into the Citadel. In spite of the warnings from his friends, he attempts to give Remy a crash course in living on Wynn - since there's no returning to Earth unless the Gateway reopens. Unfortunately, Remy's presence on Wynn comes without pomp and carries a greater cause that they all become involved in.

If you want to create any NPCs or other charries you wish to hold, feel free. I have - several - I'll be holding onto to move this story along. Hopefully, if we're able to reach an end, everything we do here will become canon for Act II - the group RP. I've done this once before and it was pretty cool, even with people coming and going. I tend to keep shit going regardless... And this will be a long-term thing, cause RBR - Reality Before Roleality, that's my motto! I can keep a story going for years, so no worries there.)

About Wynn

Wynn

The planet Wynn is the center world among the 888 Plains of Existence. Because of this, they are the central source of ancient magic for the entire universe. Connected to other universes, Wynn's abundance of magic helps to maintain the 888. The strength of the other worlds, once they have grown in magic and peace, returns the favor by contributing to the universal storehouse of magic; keeping the universe vibrant. However, some worlds fall into darkness, losing their spark. If so, in order to keep the magic pure, the dying planet must be severed from the web of Wynn to keep the 888 safe.

About Dragons

Dragons

Dragon Types

Agylapu (Ice) - The rarest breed on Wynn. Agylapus are a crossbreed of a Water and Spirit dragon and they only produce one egg every hundred years. In order for an egg to survive, it must stay within below-freezing temperatures. Most Agylapu do not survive high temperatures during adolescence due to the lack of proper harvesting temperatures from the start.

Hyperion (Water) - There are very few Hyperion dragons above ground - preferring to be near or underwater more than anything. They only produce their eggs underwater where they must remain until hatching. They are cliff dwellers, living near the beaches or large lakes near their Familiar's cities.

Dulsorian (Spirit) - With the abilities of summoning and telepathy, Spirit dragons are loyal and protective of their Familiars. They are, in essence, a breed of all elements, for they live off of the spirits of all living around them - especially their Familiars. They are the second rarest breed on Wynn.

Gengha (Fire) - The most dangerous breed to obtain and train. Genghas possess violent raging tempers and are extremely wary of trusting others. However, once they gain a Familiar's trust, they'll go above and beyond for them. Known to attack their Familiars and Riders if they're upset at them.

Balatian (Earth) - The most common breed of dragons, Balatian are very docile and aware of their surroundings. Natural camouflage, they are able to blend into their environment easily. A very loving breed - they're like giant teddy bears.

Luxis (Lightening) - Like their cousins, Gengha, Luxis are extremely hot-headed and difficult to handle. But, compared to Gengha, they're easier to train and tend to build upon their trust quicker. However, they are known to ditch their Familiars/Riders if they're upset at them. Luxis are also the fastest flyers amongst the other breeds.

Bolduris (Stone) - The second most common breed of dragons, Bolduris also have camouflage abilities. They are, however, very cumbersome, accident-prone, and a very heavy breed. They are considered the tanks in an aerial fight and have the ability to rage.

Okay, so you're thinking on the lines of starting the story on the day her mother brings her back to her home realm, or will this start a few weeks/months after she's done with her princess training? It'll be wild if her mother tried to explain to her that she's not from earth, that she's a princess... oh yeah, and ya gotta get married like now, or else! 😄

A fight for a kingdom-a fantasy royalty rp.- closed

Hey @Vampiretwilight, what ideas do you have on starting this? Are ya thinking of like a meeting or a ball where the suitors introduce themselves to her and they all have a moment to just dance and chat with her. Maybe, that day a challenge can be placed for them to see who can claim first notice to spend a day with her while visiting their KINGDOM IDK, brainstorming a starter than can open things up.

Remy

It was an instant relief when Emelia's spell rushed throughout the grounds. All of Remy's muscles were taut as his aura energy was released to the masses, but when the Librarian's attack struck, his energy exploded like an agitated volcano shooting up in the air. An audible crack echoed along with an agonizing scream as his muscles popped and Remy's body dropped like a stone from the air. He landed on the bed with a thud, almost bouncing off the edge. Unconscious and breathing shallow, Remy's mind wandered across the realms and back again, not quite isolated within the room anymore.

"Remy, Remy baby wake up."
A voice... he was hearing things now? Remy felt so numb in his stupor, he could barely understand the words or the sensations present...

"Open your eyes, listen to the sound of my voice."

Familiarity - his eyes began to flutter. He wanted to see the face behind that voice. Was it...?

"I'm here. Open your eyes."

A groan left his lips as Remy fought to regain his consciousness. He was drained of mana and could use a strong B12 shot for energy, but the presence beaconing him back to the surface urged his body to recharge and pull itself out of the deep. He wanted to see Yuri's face...

"Remy, come back to me. I can't lose you. I... Remy if you can hear me, I love you, and I need you."

He was going to say something... His body shifted unconsciously, sending another agonizing shock of pain up his back forcing his red, blood-shot eyes to widen in a silent scream. Breathing to calm the sting, and eyes fluttering to adjust to the dull lights in the room, Remy found himself held in Yuri's arms.

"...Yuri...?" His voice was feeble and the tone of his skin held no color. But as soon as his dull eyes readjusted upon Yuri's face, everything seemed to return to the surface of his mind - including the voice he heard in his waking dream. Instantly, Remy's eyes lightened to sweet pastel pink. "Was that..? Did you say..?" Weak, stuttering; not sure if he was still wandering within his subconscious or if he woke up to the best daydream ever?

Lithy

Organized chaos - that's how Lithy would describe the activity within the estate. There were healers urgently moving throughout the grounds, the newly healed heading inside to find their friends and help out, and others taking on the task of watching their prisoners while all waited for their instructors to announce the next step. Lithy waited calmly, trying her best to remain patient as the activity began to calm down around her. She was nervous without Amos taking control of her confidence. He was - resting, rolled up in a ball within her arms. This short battle took a lot out of them both - her last little effort used a significant amount of magic to guard so many people. So, as Amos rested, Lithy tried to be... social without feeling paranoid about everybody.

"Why do you and that cat share a scent?"

"AAAHHH!" Lithy jumped in her boots and whipped around, catching her heart in her chest as she found Soul behind her. "Soul!" Taking a deep breath she stilled herself. Amos barely moved. Her brow folded confused, "Share a scent you say?"

"Also earlier it was as if another person spoke with your mouth. Is this a common occurrence for you, or is this a problem we should be wary of?" His curiosity was strange to her, but Soul was a different sort. He was unlike the others within their student body; one who walked absence of an aura she could understand- hell, she should have been able to sense his presence! Soul was just a difficult book to read - yet, an interesting one. Timid as she was, she gave Soul a welcoming grin. This was the first time she's really spoken with him since becoming acquainted. She should get to know her other classmates. These days, tucking herself away from the world wasn't a good plan anymore.

Taking a moment to soak in his question, and finding the right words for him to fully understand, Lithy nodded with a nervous grin, "Amos... is a special kitty. He and I share a bond; he's my Familiar. At times, when I require his assistance, his spirit will connect with mine to boost my abilities. He can either share my form with me or during dangerous moments, take full control of my form while - my spirit - steps away to execute various attacks." Giggling, a sign of relaxing just a bit, she shook her head, "And no... it's not a problem. That's just part of my abilities as a Vessel - a collector of spirits."

Just then, Miss Emelia stepped within the large circle of students and prisoners in the large entrance of the estate. "You are in the presence of a large gathering of real, powerful witches, both male and female. I would suggest you cooperate with our questioning." With the number of students and instructors around them, power in numbers, even Lithy could read from their captors' auras how intimidated they were. And to add to their fear, Adam, another member of the elite student body she's never had the chance (or the courage) to meet, stepped forward to seize the hand of one of their attackers. He held a blade of pure darkness, one Lithy's never fathomed could ever exist within this realm, and placed it near three of the assassin's fingers. The man squirmed, fighting off the 'Bad Cop' interrogation, but he kept his lips sealed.

Lithy intensely watched with an uncomfortable touch of deja vu - quickly closing her eyes and turning back around towards Soul. The situation was just... far too personal to her. She's been on the other end of a blade far too many times.
