Mark Devinchi had not seen the outside of his castle for quiet some time, Let alone the country. But, in his mind, Mark had no choice but to leave. Mark was in a forced engagement with Alison, the princess of Carton. Mark himself was the youngest son and closest in age to the princess so his father the king of Artheh had chosen him to be with the princess. The engagement was supposed to unite the kingdoms and end wars. Mark Devinchi was not willing to do that. Why should he marry the human who was from the same country that had been slaughtering his people for years? It did not seem right to Mark, let alone the fact that he nor the Princess would have any say in this, Mark knew the Princess would probably be agenst the idea aswel, so he decided to run.

Mark ran and ran, he had changed his clothes. He was known for having long hair, wearing elegant clothing, and he had a white heart shape birthmark in is fur on is forehead which was why he kept his hair back in a pony-tail quite often to show it off. So, Mark changed his outfit completely. He cut his hair to make him less recognizable and he wore a light gray-brownish color hat to cover his birthmark. Mark did not have a special fur color, plenty of his kind were brown with some sort of pattern so he was not worried at all about what his fur color was. Mark obviously decided to ditch his 'fancy' 'proper' clothes. He got a light orange tee-shirt from a local shop and put that on. He got a darker brown-greenish pair of jeans that were a bit loose and he wore those aswel. He then got a pair of brown tennis shoes with black laces. Mark thought he blended in pretty well. His soft brown eyes were a little less common, alot of his kind had more green-blueish eyes. But, this did not make Mark stand out so he dint mind.

Mark was running to a kingdom where he thought not many would even know of him much less recognize him, however with the marriage being broad casted on TV on plenty of News channels, this made it harder for Mark to blend in. Let alone the fact that he ran away would also most likely get on the News along with a search for him. Mark dint worry about that all to much though. He had two older brothers who could take his place, so why would he matter? Sure, he was closest in age to the princess but his older brothers were only 2-5 years older than him so it was not so unbearably wrong for them to take his place. Mark wanted the kingdoms to unite and end the wars, he very much did. However, he ws not willing to marry the princess of the kingdom that had wiped out thousands of his people.  

Mark was running. He had no idea where to go. He dint want to go to an athro-only kingdom because he'd stand out. But if he went to a human-only kingdom he would stand out with no doubt. He sighed. Mark did not know of any mixed kingdoms. He had however heard of one, so he decided to head the direction of that kingdom. It was a long walk and it took Mark many days of camping in the woods and acting natural, like he belonged there. Honestly doing that was harder than expected. To hide his identity more Mark had changed his name to 'Kyle'. Mark was out of food when he arrived at a kingdom where there was a mix of humans and athros. He sighed. He was going to continue running, but he felt he was at a safe distance. He went into a town and went to a social meeting area. There was a bar with food and drinks.

Mark smiled. He had money, and quite liked this place. He decided to stay here for awhile before continuing to run, maybe even get a job. He let out a small sigh of relief. He felt safe, he'd been there for a day or two already and no one suspected a thing. Mark went into a social area with a bar. He was hungry. He went over to the bar, there was a human there. Mark shrugged. He figured he may aswel try to make a friend or two while he was here, maybe learn a bit about the area he was in. He walked over and sat beside the woman. She looked fine, dint seem like she would cause a commotion or anything so Mark chose to talk to her. There were plenty of others to choose from... but for some reason he wanted to talk to her.

Mark went over and sat next to the woman who had just pulled her hood down. He ordered a drink and some food. More specifically he ordered an orange juice with a bit of alcohol mixed and a small plate with some salad, and little bits of meat cheese and crackers. Just normal things. Mark looked around, there were plenty of people. All humans and athros mixed. He smiled. Mark thought he'd fit in well here sense there were plenty of humans and athros. Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves, with a group of friends all dancing, singing, or just talking and drinking. Mark smiled, he wanted to make friends and be able to do such things aswel. Mark went over and sat beside the woman he had decided to try and make friends with. He smiled at the woman, She looked.. beautiful actually... She had blonde hair, soft skin, beautiful blue eyes... Mark almost lost himself looking at her, before he cleared his throat and smiled at her, his soft brown eyes looking into her blue eyes as he spoke in a gentle tone. 

"Excuse me, Miss? My name is Kyle. Are you from around here? I recently moved." Mark asked. The people around here had a bit of an accent then from his country, and he'd picked it up a bit so he decided to talk like that to disguise himself even more. He smiled warmly and gently as he awaited a reply from the woman who had caught his eye.
