[b]Eyrie[/b]

Eyrie Goldmoon dismounted her small pony and strode confidently toward the guards at the gate of the palace. Her shop was on the other side of the capitol city, but when she's received the letter from the king she couldn't let herself delay. This was the opportunity she had been waiting years for. Her father had once had his brief shining moment of glory when he was asked to make a ceremonial sword for the king's coronation. The result had been strong and beautiful, and had awed many who attended the grand event. However, her father had never once been summoned to the castle. Eyrie loved her father, but there was still a part of her that was jealous of her father's skill with crafting weapons and armor. So, when she's received the letter she could think only that the king wished to commission some enchanted item from her, something apparently so important that the job must be given in person. She smiled lightly to herself as she held out the letter with the rune for the guards to examine. They looked at it, then at her, the one raising his eyebrow, but then he said simply, "Follow me." With that, the two guards walked into the castle, Eyrie close behind. They walked through the main throne room, up a flight of stairs and through an open door into a large chamber. Eyrie was quite taken aback by the sight within. There were many other people here, people who were so out of place in the room that it was obvious this was not what she'd thought it would be. She dropped her hands, staring at all of the strangers gathered on one end of the room, while the King, Queen, Lord General, and another beautiful woman stood on the other end. She didn't know what to do and her confusion was making her angry, her light smile fading into a disappointed scowl as she leaned against the wall right next to the door, staring at all of the other people gathered there. What would the king want with so many odd fellows? 

[b]Sebastian[/b]

Sebastian wandered towards the gate of the castle, his eyes staring up at the large beautifully crafted and strong building, following it's lines as if he were looking for something. The guards there, looked at each other, bewildered, then back at the odd looking man approaching. Sebastian paid them no heed, simply attempting to walk past them towards the castle. The taller guard said, "Hey!", and they both placed their spears in his way, but to their astonishment the young man walked right through their spears, and as he passed them a small piece of paper with a rune on it seemed to fall out from under his cloak onto the ground behind him. The young man didn't even pause for a moment, simply walking straight through the door to the castle and heading upstairs, almost as if he already knew which way to go. He arrived at the door to the room and walked in straight for the window on the far side of the room. His eyes clamped onto those gathered in the room, roaming from one to another, a curious smile on his lips as his head turned rapidly from one to another, apparently enamored by all of the people. However, as he walked across the room he passed right through several of the others gathered there, a red haired young man, a young girl with a large hammer, and a man holding a large book. He sat down on the windowsill at the far end of the room, saying nothing. However, when he saw the brooding form of a man in full armor, dark and devilish, he broke out into a wide grin, his remarkably clean teeth showing as he simply stared at the brooding man and grinned.
