I’m hoping there is interest for this one. It’s been over 4 years since it was first created and played on this site. Any questions?

Back Story

It happened on the 7th of September in 1100 BCE, just outside Phylakopi on the island of Melos in Greece. The night of a powerful lunar eclipse. The abnormal abundance of mystical energy seemed to meld into the air like a suffocating smog. The witches of Melos, had gathered their coven together, as tonight they would finally accomplish everything they had worked, and fought for. Generations of their kind had searched for immortality and eternal youth, many died in the process of failure. But now it was just within their grasp. The preparations were complete, and with the eclipse it was now time for the sacrificial ritual. Three young men, and three young woman were brought forth. Bound and gagged the witches dragged their human sacrifices into positions around the sacred blue flames.

The witches began to chant in an unknown language, as they stared into the dancing flames, and held tightly to the young people shoulders forcing the poor terrified ones to kneel. The high witch Magissa, seemed to run the show, as she circled around the fire, reaching her hands up towards the dark starless sky. In one hand she held a chalice, and in the other a jewel encrusted dagger. The youngest witch, threw dried herbs into the flames, making the air smell strange and the smoke seemed to morph into ghoulish shapes, like faces of the dead. The six could do nothing but stare terrified and confused, as their rope bindings dug into their flesh. The witches who held them whispered a strange language into their ear, and the fire sparked every time the high witch yelled certain parts of the spell.

The first sacrifice was Alexandros. The witch behind him wrenched his head back, as the high witch Magissa stood in front of him, and abruptly slit his throat. Magissa held the chalice to his neck, as his blood poured down, and the light left his eyes. The five left watched horrified as their own fate became apparent. More chanting as Magissa walked gracefully over to the next one. The second was Korinna, who was hysterically crying as the witch behind her held her in position. Magissa smiled at her, as she ran the blade across Korinna's neck, and proceeded to gather the young girls blood. The third was Iason, who glared with fury as Magissa walked towards him. He used all his strength to try and fight the witch yanking his head backward, but to no avail as Magissa just did the same to him. The fourth was Xanthippe, and she had been lucky enough to faint prior to her turn. She was limp, and quiet as Magissa sliced her throat. Fifth was Nikomedes, who had managed to ungag himself just as Magissa turned towards him. He screamed, and angrily thrashed trying to get free, but his threats and pleading fell on def ears. The witch behind him ripped his head back, pulling him by the hair. Nikomedes had no chance as Magissa brought the blade to his throat, he glanced at the young woman next to him, who would share his same fate and one tear escaped before the blood came pouring out. Lastly was the sixth one, her name was Myrrine. She had watched each of them die, and now it was her turn. Her eyes pleaded to whomever would look her way, tears rolled down her cheeks, as Magissa walked to her. And with her death the ritual was complete. Magissa drank from the chalice of blood and passed it around to her coven. Their blood drained bodies where thrown into the fire, and the blue flames turned purple.

The witches expected immortality, in fact they could feel a monumental change swirling in the air around them. To test if the ritual had worked, the Magissa stabbed the dagger deep into the youngest witch. The girl collapsed to the ground, and began to bleed out. The others waited. Some confident it had worked, and others nervous that they had just killed six people for no reason. The girl was dead, and as the minutes grew into hours it became apparent she was not coming back to life. Panic ensued, and many of the coven scattered. Magissa and a handful of her most loyal stayed behind. Angry and still hellbent on becoming immortal. The ritual had failed to do what the witches wanted, but immortality had been granted in a way...to the six sacrifices.

Through reincarnation the six were alive again, with all their memories intact. Now every time they die, they are born again into completely different circumstances, new family, new face, new language, new names, new culture, new rules...same memories. They remember every life they have ever lived, they have the memories and knowledge from every reincarnation they have had. In every new life the memories from their pasts come back in blurs and glimpses for the first few years of life. The smell of roses could make one remember walking in a garden in a different time, and place. The sound of an old song can make one remember going to a concert, or dancing in a royal court. By the time they are around ten years old, they can remember everything. But how would you know your not crazy, that its just your imagination? Why is it you remember so many things and no one else does? How do you believe in yourself? In your own mind?

During the 5th century BCE Iason met Xanthippe, by chance and they found that they were not alone. They were not crazy. And with that fateful meeting they promised to always find each other in every new life. They also came to the conclusion that they needed to find the four others like them. All the while the witches from so long ago, were still in pursuit of immortality and eternal youth. They soon found that if they could gather all the reincarnated and perform the ritual again, then they could get all that they wished and more. So generation after generation the witches have searched for them. In the 1st century BCE Iason, had been looking for Xanthippe, and during his search he found the writings of what people called a mad man. Thus Iason found Alexandros in Rome, and seven years later they found Xanthippe. In the 4th century AD they founded a group called The Guardians.

The Guardians was made up of the three of them, plus five others, who where their most trusted friends in that life, who believed their stories and for the sake of knowledge, history, love and so on, vowed to serve them generation after generation. They were tasked with keeping the many histories and lives documented, seeking to find the others that remembered, and to always find them in their new lives and protect them from the witches. That is what the guardians did, passing down the duties to their children and so on. In the early 7th century the Guardians found Nikomedes, and about 50 years later Korinna found them. By mid 10th century they found Myrrine in Constantinople.

In the 12th century, a guardian by the name of Jon Lytton became rather enraged when Myrrine, did not return his feelings. He killed her, but knowing that she would be reincarnated again, he left the guardians and started his own group called the Order. Religious people followed him and his mission was to find the six and kill them. The Order grew and became a central part of the Catholic church at the time, and the six were hunted as demons. Burning innocent people as witches and chaos was the result, but the order had its mission. Lytton soon became even more deranged and wanted immortal life. Murdering Alexandros, a handful of guardians, and blinding Korinna. He was able to kidnap Xanthippe, and he used her blood and his alchemy skills, to gain a sort of immortality like them. He ate her still beating heart, and with that he created what we call vampires. Months later they captured Korinna and did the same to her. Lytton's number one most loyal follower Agnes was given the privilege of immortality too. They left the Order, once they got what they wanted. The Order took on a life of its own, and is now a secret organization of hunters, whose only job is to rid the world of witches, vampires, heretics, and demons.

Five centuries passed and the vampires found the reincarnations of the six, making it seven new vampire in the process. Then they learned that it was not necessary to eat the beating heart of one of the six, that in fact vampires themselves could turn humans into vampires by draining the human of blood, and making them drink vampire blood. Thus creating their own race of immortals. The nine original vampires can only be killed by being stabbed in the heart with one of the silver daggers forged by Nikomedes many centuries ago, sadly nothing else. The daggers are kept with the guardians and used to protect. The vampires made by the originals can die by burning to death, decapitation, and a steak through the heart.

Random Info

Original Vampire: Posses super human strength, reflexes, and speed. They can run up to bout 70 mph, without getting winded or exerting much energy. They only have to feed like once a month to retain their human appearance. Without feeding they start to look more like a corpse. The can see in the dark. There senses are heightened, and they have impeccable hearing. They have retractable claws and fangs. They have enhanced healing ability (similar to x-mens wolverine). Vampires have a natural charm, and can easily persuade the weak willed. and They have limited telepathy between other vampires, and the six. They can walk in the sunlight. They can only be killed by being stabbed in the heart with one of the silver daggers forged by Nikomedes many centuries ago. There are twelve daggers total. The daggers are kept with the guardians. If you want more info, or have questions just PM me.

Regular vampires: They can die by being burned to death, decapitation, and a steak through the heart. They are stronger then a human, and can run as fast as an Olympic track star, but they are not super powered by any means. They survive by drinking the blood of humans. They have to feed about every 3-5 days to retain their human appearance. Without feeding they start to look more like a corpse, lose all their strength, uncontrollable burst of anger, and pain. If going without blood for a very long time they start to mummify, and become immobile. They are unable to walk in the sunlight, it won't kill them but it does burn them like fire. Thus they normally live more nocturnal lives. They have retractable claws and fangs. The six smell different and taste delicious to Vampires. The blood of a six can also grant a regular vampire abilities to walk in the sunlight, and give them strength and speed akin to the original vamps. If you want more info, or have questions just PM me.

Witches: who's ancestors participated in the original sacrifice have the ability to sense when someone is one of the six. There are also spells that can be done to find out a extremely broad location of the six. If the have a personal item, or lock of hair of the current reincarnation then they can easily pinpoint within a 5 mile radius where that person is. If you want more info on how the magic, spells and so on work and World just PM me.

The Guardians: They are typically regular humans that come from a long ancient line of guardians. There are a few vampire ones though, mainly who chose to become vampires to be able to see/serve/protect the six forever. The knowledge of the Six, witches, vampires, and the whole history of it all, is what is passed down from generation to generation. They are tasked with protecting the six if they ever come into contact with them. In the ancient times they also had the job of tracking them down, and getting them all together, but over time the Six and the guardians have set up permanent places throughout the world where they can meet up. These places are secret/hidden and only known by the six and the guardians. Usually there is one or two guardians who look after a particular place. The places are normally full of artifacts, scrolls, texts, and documents. Some written by guardians and other by the six. There are guardian families/groups all around the world. Many who never meet any of the six in there lifetime, but the knowledge is always past down. If you want more info, or have questions just PM me.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The voyage to Hua’ma had been extremely dull and uneventful. Her traveling party was on the smaller side, elegant and modest as her brother instructed. Mierea had been accompanied by a handful of knights, and her most trusted handmaidens, Chloe and Darla. Only five days into the journey, and she quickly had gotten bored of embroidering patterns on cloth, taking naps, and re-reading the same four books over and over again. Long distance traveling was not something she had done very often, and the expectations she had had about her adventurous journey were crushed as each day was filled with bumpy roads, boredom, and no baths. Three weeks in a carriage did not make for a happy princess. Thankfully she and her entourage had arrived at the Hua’mu palace three days ago, and Mierea had been incredibly thankful to finally have a bath, and sleep in a bed.

The Hua'mu royal family had greeted her properly, and she them. Gifting the king and queen with lavish silks and a hand carved ivory box of An'elle's famous chocolate truffles. Each Hua'mu princesses received a gem encrusted brooch created by the famous An'elle designer Sylvester Jiminy. The three days before the masquerade were spent relaxing and recuperating in the Hua'mu Palace. She was escorted around the grounds by a duke who had the kings ear, and show the gardens she remembered from the last time she has come to Hua'mu as a child. She later had tea with two of the middle princesses, and was entertained during a dinner by the palace musicians.

As for the day of the ball, she spent it lazing around in her room, rather than preparing like most of the noble ladies had been. Mierea smelled like she had rolled around in vanilla cake thanks to the bath she had just stepped out of. “I really don’t see a need to rush.” She said as Darla and Chloe ran about the room trying to make sure Mierea was on time and presentable. She only just began getting ready an hour before the party was meant to start, much to her handmaiden’s annoyance. Drapped in a thin towel she walked over to one of her trunks that held some of the books and things she had brought with her from home. Gently she took out a linen bundle, and placed it on the bed. “I will also be wearing that tonight.” She said as she smiled at Darla who looked surprised at and addition to Mierea's attire for the ball.

“Princess do you really think this is a good idea?” Darla said unfolding the linen bundle and staring at the item inside. The questionable idea that her handmaiden was concerned about, was a long brunette wig. She had decided that since this was a masquerade, she would not only wear a mask to hide her face, but also a wig to hide her short honey blonde hair. “It’s a brilliant idea Darla, no need to worry. I’ve already heard that some of the masks tonight will hide the wearer’s face completely, from forehead to chin. Covering my hair is no big deal.” Mierea said trying to assure Darla, who was a notorious worrywart.

Darla and Chloe helped Mierea step into her gown, and began lacing her into it for the masquerade had already started by now. The silk gown had been specifically made for this evening. It was created in a typical Albine style, though Mierea had decided to forgo the corset that was normally worn underneath. The dress was mainly made up of a pretty mauve silk, and trimmed in gold and silver thread. Her favorite part of the gown was the flowy sleeves, and gold beading around the hem.

Her handmaidens fixed the wig to her head and brushed out the curls. “I look a bit mysterious as a brunette, don’t you think?” She asked her ladies, as she peered at herself in the mirror. Both of the girls nodded in agreement, and Chloe handed Mierea her mask. It was made from gold wire, tiny diamond beads, and shaped to look like butterfly wings. It matched her jewelry perfectly. “You should get going now Princess, the ball has already started.” Darla said quickly as she opened the door to the hall. “I don’t think there is a huge need to hurry, it only started a few minutes ago, from what I’ve heard there are some guests who have yet to even officially arrive in Hua’mu. Apparently they decided to arrive during the party.” Mierea explained as she tied her mask on and stepped out into the hall.

She entered the ballroom behind a herd of other ladies, and her eyes brightened at the sight of the party. Fashions from every place danced around the room. It was beautiful, and Mierea was excited.

BIOGRAPHY
Embrina's father, Kyo, was the best friend of Chief Magnus, as they had grown up together, and fought side by side. Kyo even saved Magnus’s life on two different occasions. Resulting in a promise of joining their families, Magnus betrothed his eldest son Alois to Kyo’s yet to be conceived future daughter. Kyo held the position of admiral of the Estrye navy, though it functioned more like a pirate fleet under his command, as he was known to be wild. Her mother, Olinda, was a young beauty from port city of Salak in Estrye. She worked mainly as a silk weaver, but also modeled for the artist guild on occasion.

Embrina’s parents met by chance one evening during the summer lights festival. Kyo recognized Olinda as the beauty in one of the newest paintings hung in Chief Magnus’s palace. Though it was not that uncommon for a noblemen to take a pretty commoner as a concubine, it was abnormal to make a commoner your legal wife, but that was what Kyo did, as he had completely fallen for her. Embrina’s was born two years later. She was a sweet little baby, with her mother’s pink eyes, and her father’s black hair. They named her after the ancient Goddess of summer that had been being celebrated at the festival they met at.

The first few years of her life were spent in her father’s country manor, surrounded by his citrus orchards in the east of Estrye. Kyo was a decorated soldier and knight at the time; he had yet to receive the position of admiral, though it was only a matter of a few years. For a short while after she was born, he tried to play the family man and good husband, but the sea was calling him back. So when Embrina was two years old her father went back to his swashbuckling ways. Every few months he would come home with stories about his adventures at sea, and he would bring home presents for her and his wife.

Unfortunately when Embrina was five years old, her mother died after a fire broke out in the manor. The whole place burned to the ground claiming not only the life of her mother, but also most of the servants. Embrina was left in the care of the few surviving servants, until her father got the news and sailed home. A month later he arrived, distraught about his wife's death, and having no idea what to do with his little girl. He was unwilling to leave her behind with his distant relatives, who he had only spoken to a handful of times. So as captain of an Estrye naval ship, he brought little Embrina aboard to stay.

Though it quickly became apparent that a navy ship was no place to raise a little noble girl. The crew had grown fond of her, but it was extremely unsafe for a child. Too many close calls with cannon blasts, and steel swords hacking away. Six months later Kyo left Embrina in the care of an old friend, the retired palace architect Colben and his family.

Colben was already raising three of his grandsons, so one more child didn’t make a difference to him. Embrina excelled under his guidance, and his grandsons became like older brothers to her. The three boy’s names were Minick, Jarrick, and Barryn. Colben didn’t know exactly how to raise a girl, so she was instead treated the same as the boys. She began learning sword fighting, and taking all the same lessons as them. Colben’s wife Dorisa was thrilled with having a little girl in the house; she had raised five sons, and now had eight grandsons, so little Embrina was like a wish come true. Embrina was happy to be smothered with love, and girly gift by Dorisa, especially since she missed her mother so much.

Two years past and when she was eight years old, news of her father being confirmed MIA arrived. During a major fight with some unidentified barbarian fleet, he and his crew were overtaken, and his ship sunk. Officially he was listed as missing, but most believed him to be dead at the bottom of the ocean. Barley two months later her maternal great aunt Zendra, showed up looking to claim Embrina, and take her home with her. Colben had tried to reason with the woman, but in the end the stubborn witch would not take no as an answer, and after a short legal battle, Embrina left with Zendra. As soon as her father was officially listed as dead, Embrina inheritance would be under her guardians control, and that was all Zendra really wanted.

Embrina cried herself to sleep every night the whole journey to her aunt’s place in the lawless city of Grogren in western Estrye. Life here was very different for the eight year old Embrina. Her aunt was the madam of a brothel in the notorious Grogren red light district. Embrina spent most of her day cleaning, and cooking, for the prostitutes that lived there. Nights where spent handing out drinks to clients, and keeping the illegitimate toddlers occupied in the basement. She also was used as a messenger between her aunts brothel, and the local gambling dens, bars, and other houses of ill repute.

Due to Colben’s protests to King Magnus, Embrina’s father was still listed as missing instead of dead, even though it had already been over two years. She was now ten years old, and Zendra claimed Embrina needed to start earning her place, since her inheritance had yet to come in and Zendra was sick of paying for her needs. So Zendra sold young Embrina’s virginity off to the highest bidder. Embrina had hit, kick, and scratched hard enough to draw blood, but the real kicker was she had bitten the bastard’s ear off. Afterwards Zendra had her flogged for injuring the customer who purchased her for the night. Then she told Embrina that she was old enough to earn her keep, and expected her to smile from now on.

Embrina ran away a week later, and at the age of 10 she was on her own. She cut off her long black hair, and dressed in boys clothes. She decided to stow away on a ship that was heading to the condiment islands, as the stories her dad told her about the islands sounded magical. Three days into the voyage she was caught. Half the crew wanted to throw her off the ship into the ocean, and the other half had no opinion on the matter. Benji, the ships medic came to her defense, saying he needed an assistant anyway, and that tossing her overboard would be a waste of free labor. The captain reluctantly agreed, and Embrina spent the rest of the voyage swabbing the deck, doing laundry, and peeling potatoes. By the end of the three month trip across the sea, she had become the little mascot of the ship, affectionately nicknamed Kit by the crew.

After docking in the islands main port, Embrina didn't really know what to do with herself. Thankfully Benji took her under his wing as an assistant, and she joined him on board another ship he had contracted with. She learned how to fight with daggers, how to amputate limbs, and sew up wounds. She wanted to go home to Estrye, but she was a minor, and officially her great aunt was her legal guardian, unless her father magically came back from the dead. She was fourteen when Benji's drinking got out of hand, and she spent more nights cleaning up his vomit than anything else. He got fired multiple times, and no one would hire him since he became a drunken liability...nobody but pirates anyway.

Embrina was able to find Benji a position on a rickety old ship. Little did she know the crew was not made up of the most loyal or friendly people. Two weeks into the journey, there was a mutiny and the captain was killed. Dwaine the cook took over as acting captain, and anyone who went against him ended up dead or locked in the brig. Benji unfortunately couldn't keep his drunken mouth shut, and Dwaine slit his throat. Thus Embrina ended up in the brig, and was told she that she was to be sold off somewhere. Weeks later, they finally docked, and Dwaine sent his goons to sell Embrina on the black market in the city. It was at this point in time that she started building walls between people, and not giving her trust out willy-nilly.

As she was being dragged to the market in the middle of the night, by some miracle she was able to slide her captors’ dagger out of it sheath and stab him in the gut. She slashed at the other goon, and missed, but the second swing got him in the leg. She ran, as fast and far as she could. A few days later she sold the dagger, and used the money to by passage to Estrye, in the hopes of finding Colben and his family though she couldn't remember where in Estrye they lived. The voyage was safe and uneventful.

It took six months but she finally made it to Colben’s home, and they took her in with loving arms. They also had news of her father. He was not dead, but in fact had been alive, living in a small An’elle village, suffering from memory loss. After a suffering a bad sickness, he regained his memories and made his way back to Estrye three years ago. Zendra had been locked up, and her father had been searching for Embrina since. She also now had a step-mother and half brother, Gavin, who just turned four years old.

The reunion with her father was sweet, he even cried, which was extremely rare for him. Her step-mother Cornelia was the An'elle woman who had taken care of her father when he lost his memory, and they had married when she had found herself pregnant three years ago before he regained his memories. Officially Cordelia was her father's concubine, but as he had no living legal wife, Cordelia was treated as the high lady of the household. With Embrina being back, she technically should have taken over that position, but Embrina had spent the last seven or so years surviving, and was nothing like a noble girl should be. She had no idea how to behave, or do her duties. Not that her father particularly cared about her behavior, in fact he loved that she knew how to sail, and wield a sword.

She wanted to be the perfect daughter for her father, who she had thought was dead for almost a decade. So under her step-mothers guidance she was rigorously taught etiquette, manors, music, dancing, fashion, art, and other noble lady pursuits. A year or so later her father happily explained to her that she was betrothed to King Magnus's oldest son, and that she had been so, since she was born. Apparently she had even met him before, back when she was four years old during Alois's birthday celebration at the palace. Not that she could remember it.

Traditionally noble women in Estrye married between the ages of 16 and 20, and apparently now that she was 16 her father and King Magnus wished to officially join their families. Thankfully Cordelia was on Embrina's side when she objected to the hasty marriage. And Alois also expressed a desire for a proper courting period before an actual marriage. So instead, the wedding was postponed for another year, giving her more time to memorize and be educated in the ways of being a noble woman; something most girls started at three years old, she had only been learning for a little over a year.

In the meantime her great aunt Zendra died in prison before she could officially be punished for her list of crimes. By the time the year passed, Embrina had given up on the idea of becoming the perfect noble daughter, as her father seemed happy and proud of her just as she was. As someone marrying into Estrye's royal family she did have to keep up her noble lady studies, but she didn't stress about it anymore. She met with Alois a dozen or so times over the year, at parties, and on occasion they had tea in the place gardens. "Courting" as everyone referred to it, was not as dull as she assumed it would be. And they slowly went from cordial polite strangers to become friends. At least according to Embrina, it was hard to read Alois.

Their wedding was put off again and again over the next three years, first by both parties, but then the reasons of being young, unprepared, and in need of proper education stopped being valid for Embrina, and it was only Alois excuses that prolonged their engagement.

BIOGRAPHY
Sindia is the youngest child of Renshu and Vanna Fang. Her parents were madly in love with each other, and married without their parents blessing. As Renshu came from a family of poor gentry, and Vanna was the only child of a count, it was quite the scandal among noble circles at the time. Thankfully they later obtained Vanna's father's approval when she announced she was pregnant with their first child. Little Caslan was born six months later, and Renshu took his wife's family name of Fang. They were a happy young family living in Renshu's small picturesque manor near the border of Hua'Mu and Estrye.

Three years later Vanna became pregnant with Sindia. Tragically when Vanna entered labor she began to show the early symptoms of pre-eclampsia, and the midwife was ill-equipped to do anything for her. After delivering baby Sindia, Vanna began to experience a series of severe fits and spasms due to the eclampsia, and was unable to breathe. Little Calsan, the midwife, and the households ladies-maids were present at her bedside, while Renshu held her as she suffocated and died. Renshu could not accept the fact that Vanna was gone, and took to drinking himself to sleep, and ignoring his two little children, who only reminded him of his dear Vanna.

A month or so later after the burial, Vanna's father arrived to collect the children, as Renshu had written that he could no longer bare to look at them, and needed a brake. So their grandfather collected the toddling Caslan, and newborn Sinna, whose nursemaid begrudgingly came along, irritated that she had to move to the isolated south western Hau'Ma. Renshu was nowhere to be seen, as his children and father-in-law departed, in fact according to the household servants he had run off a week ago, delirious, drunk, and insane with grief.

Unfortunately things were only going to get worse for the siblings. Being under their grandfather's guardianship was awful. Their neglectful absentee father was heaven compared to Count Fang. He blamed Sindia for the death of his one and only child, and made sure she knew it. So she grew up terrified of and abused by her maternal Grandfather. She was regarded as fearful and furtive by the manors servants, who always looked the other way during the abuse. Her brother Caslan tried his best to protect her, and take the brunt of the abuse, but there was only so much a kid could do. So they found comfort with each other, quietly playing in the library, and gardens to stay out of their Grandfathers path.

Count Fang had never forgiven her for his daughter's death in childbirth, and frequently made her the target for his frustrations, by making it practically impossible to go a day without braking any of his ridiculous rules. His "punishments" included simple things like going without food,to much harsher things like whippings, and beatings. Being dragged by the hair, getting locked in the stables overnight, and verbal abuse was Sindia's normal for the first nine years of her life. Her brother was fortunately always there, sneaking her food, tending her wounds, teaching her to read, and hiding her when the count was on the war path. She was nine years old when she was beaten severely and locked outside during a storm. She ended up with a serious infection, and became so sick she was bedridden with fever and hallucinations for almost a week. The doctor informed Caslan and the Count that she may not survive if it lasted any longer. Thankfully she lived through it, though her health would never be the same. Two weeks later her grandfather, who was healthy as a horse, and as strong as an ox, died in his sleep...

Sindia believes that he died, due to her prayers being answered. As she had been praying to any and all of the gods of various religions every night since she was seven, praying to make her grandfather disappear. When she woke up in the morning to a wailing maid, and the news of her grandfather's death she ran for her brother. Life changed quickly after that. Caslan inherited everything, including the estate, and title of count. Relatives they had never met, came out of the woodwork to dispute Caslan's inheritance, and try to manipulate their way into their lives for selfish reasons. The excuse that Caslan and Sindia were only children, was thrown in their face more then once. Caslan wasn't having it, and took over the Counts seat rather well for only being only twelve years old. These so called relatives were basically banished, and ignored from then on.

Caslan spent quite a bit of his time on martial arts training, Sinna wished to follow him and train too, as was custom for girls in the Drink Empire, but after her illness she could never fully keep up. Her training flittered to an end by the time she was eleven, and instead she took up playing chess, and helping her brother manage the household. Her life was now peaceful and enjoyable, her brother made sure of that. A governess from the capital was hired, and so began Sindia's official education. Though her brother had thankfully taught her what he learned from his tutors, so she was not completely behind in academics for her age. Learning the etiquette of being a noble lady came easy to her, and she actually enjoined learning to dance, sing, sew, play the harp, pursue the arts, and write poetry.

Nightmares still plagued her, and anytime there was a thunder storm you would still catch her crying, bundled in blankets hiding in the wardrobe, but for all intensive purposes she was safe and happy. She was fifteen when Caslan was appointed a position as a official knight and guard at the Hua'Ma palace in the capitol. She came with, as the idea of living alone, and a whole months journey away from him was horrifying to her. So at fifteen she debuted at the royal court, and has been living there since, becoming friends with Princess Minagi.

TRIVIA
.    She has a horse named Cymbeline, and a black cat named Nixon.
.    Bites her bottom lip when she is nervous.
.    Always has coins in her purse to give to beggars and peasants.
.    She is scared of the idea of giving birth, and believes she killed her mother by being born.

BIOGRAPHY

A Bit Long

Mierea was born to King Jordan Albine, and his second wife Queen Castella. She was precocious, sweet, and full of smiles as a child. She was the kings third born, and only daughter, as she had two older half-brothers, Prince Rolo, and Prince Turron. Unfortunately the King's first wife Queen Halva, died from complications after giving birth to Prince Turron, and that was the start of his descent into madness. It would plague King Jordan for the rest of his life.

Prince Turron was four years older, and he quickly became Mierea's protector and best friend. She was never close to her eldest brother Prince Rolo as he left to start training as a knight when she was only three. Many days were spent in the gardens together with Turron, and her mother. Queen Castella would read the children poems, and tell them stories as they giggled and played. Most of her early years were spent barefoot and following Turron around, climbing trees, and running around the castle.

Mierea was only eight years old when her mother passed away after many months of illness, and being bedridden. She was old enough to understand that her mother was gone forever, and life seemed to change inside the castle. Her father grew even more cold, serious, and distant. His fits of madness, and self-loathing seemed to happen more often, and last longer. He blamed himself for the death of Castella, claiming he was cursed.

A year passed, and her father had no idea how to raise children without a wife, nor did he have much of a want to. After loosing Castella he knew he did not want to marry again. The king's adviser Lord Macon, and the children's governess Lady Madeleine were doing fine on their own, but he believed the children required a mother. That's when his younger brother Duke Astros and his wife came to stay with them. What started as a month long visit ended up with them coming to stay indefinitely. Thus a great part of Mierea's early education came from her aunt Duchess Bredela, who taught her sums, heraldry, ethics, reading, etiquette, dancing, geography, writing, philosophy, and the practical subjects such as running a household, weaving, and sewing.

As a youth Aunt Bredela, Lady Madeleine, Turron, and the cooks daughter Kyra were the people she was closest to. She spent her spare time riding horse with Turron, pretending to be a mermaid during baths, reading books in the library, playing with her dolls, and daydreaming about knights and princes asking to marry her. She and Kyra liked to sneak fresh cookies from the kitchen and have picnics on the roof of east tower. They would giggle about boys, and make up stories together. She taught Kyra to read, and Kyra in turn taught Mierea all of the names of the flowers and the medicinal purposes.

Throughout Mierea's childhood, Lord Macon negotiated potential future marriages for her. When she was only seven years old, she was promised to the young heir of the Licorices dukedom, but the contract was repudiated after three years. At the age of eleven, she was then betrothed to marry a prince from the Starch Kingdom, but the engagement was broken off within a few years as the Starch kingdom ruler was overthrown. Two more subsequent betrothals would take place over the next five years, both ending abruptly.

Her Uncle Duke Astros acted like a charmer for the first year he lived with them, but he slowly began to show his true colors as time went on. More then once little Mierea witnessed Duke Astros hit his wife. So Mierea made it blatantly obvious that she hated the man. She would roll her eyes when he spoke politely to others, and she would glare at him anytime she saw her aunt had been crying. Her father and Turron both told her that it was between a man and his wife. Duke Astros seemed to ignore her behavior, taking out his annoyance and anger on his wife more and more. Mierea was twelve years old when she got the courage to stand up to the man after seeing him backhand her Aunt for the final time. She threw her wooden doll at him, as she angrily screamed for him to leave her Aunt alone. The doll hit him square in the face, hard enough to bloody his nose, and he went off, picking Mairea up by her hair, and twisting her arm around till it cracked. Luckily Turron intervened.

Her father was who spent more time locking himself up in his room, finally showed himself, furious when he learned about the whole scene. He sent his brother Duke Astros away for a short time. It was no secret his brother had a temper, and no respect or care for woman. Duke Astros's own daughter Dyana died at his hand, not that anyone outside the family knew the whole truth. Several months later Duke Astros returned on his best behavior, and Mierea kept out of his way. Though she was refining the art of being passive aggressive and making witty snide remarks anytime they conversed. She could tell by the way he bunched his fist, and clenched his jaw when he smiled, that she was getting to him.

Once her poor Aunt Bredela started looking worse for ware again, with all the crying and bruises, Mierea took it upon herself to exact revenge by pouring ink into Duke Astros expensive rare wine collection. Later in the day her best friend Kyra received Duke Astros's punishment for the destroyed wine, when he knew full well Mierea had done it. Young Kyra had practically been whipped to the bone, and unfortunately she succumbed to a fever brought on by her wounds the next morning. Mierea blamed herself for the death of her dear friend Kyra. But she also would never forget who had killed her. After this Duke Astros seemed to be utterly calm and content for a long period of time.

Mierea made it her job to say out of his way, and Turron never seemed to leave her alone for fear of their uncle. Their father barely left his room now, and when he did his eyes always seemed soulless and hollow. Her eldest bother Prince Rolo returned, now an official knight of An'elle, and he took over much of their fathers Kingly duties. Duke Astros was sent away on a journey for the next year and a half. Time passed, and Mierea was fourteen when Turron left to train new knights outside the capital. Mierea made sure to not enrage Astros once he returned. Normally that just meant staying out of his way, and being cordial. Sickeningly Rolo and Astros seemed to get along like long lost friends.

She was fifteen when a maidservant found Aunt Bredela dead in her room, clutching her deceased daughters hair ribbons, and a goodbye letter. On the bedside table was five empty bottles of belladonna. Astros's list of innocent lives taken was ever growing. Mierea had resented her father for not doing anything in all these years to stop his brother, but a few months after Aunt Bredela passed he sent Astros packing, under the orders of reviving his own crumbling dukedom. Her aunt's death took a tole on Mierea. She refused two offers of marriage and even told her father she was contemplating a life as a priestess, for fear of having a husband like Astros. She was blossoming into a beautiful young woman, but marriage was off the table for the next year, as she mourned her aunts death.

She was seventeen when her latest betrothal fell through due to the young knight dying in battle, she wondered who the next possible match could be. Sometimes she felt like she was cursed to never marry, as every betrothal seemed to end in the grooms death or Lords reneging for finding love in another. Her father grew even more mentally ill. Prince Rolo had taken to drinking, and sneaking off to brothels. Thankfully Turron finally came home now married to Lady Thalia of the Drink kingdom.

She was now nineteen and technically getting past her prime in blushing bride years, when a series of misfortunes happened one after the other. Rolo died unexpectedly in the middle of the night, to what was later found to be cancer of the brain, Lady Thalia miscarried their first child, and then six months later King Jordan was found dead, as he had jumped from the east tower in the middle of the night.

Turron of course became King, and Lady Thalia became Queen. It has been just over a year now, and thankfully the Sweets Kingdom is recovering under King Turron's rule, though people question why he has allied with the vegetable kingdom. With Turron as king, she doesn't feel the pressure to marry for profit, title, or some kind of gain. If he asked it of her she would, but he has made it completely clear that he only wishes for her happiness, so though the past year was spent in mourning she has also become more free.

TRIVIA
.    She has a horrible sense of direction.
.    Turron taught her how to use a sword.
.    Tends to secretly walk around barefoot if she can

Relationship Sheet

Hua'ma

I visited Hua'ma when I was very young. I believe I was about five years old. I can remember meeting Princess Minagi, and playing in the gardens with her, and some other Hua'ma noble children whose faces I've forgotten. Mainly what I can recall of Princess Minagi, is that she was a pretty blonde who was the same age as me. She was rather cheerful if nothing else. My memories of that visit are more centered around the delicious jelly cakes that decorated the garden party I was there to attend. I do remember getting lost in the hedge maze, and the princess was the one who found me. She kindly walked me back to the party. I was adamant on becoming her friend after that, but unfortunately I had to go back to An'elle a few days later. I wonder what she is like now?
-----------------------

Like her sister Princess Minagi, I met Asami during the same visit to Hua'ma. She was a sweet little red headed toddler, who sang better then any three year old I've ever met. I can remember a few days before the grand garden party, I was walking around the Hua'ma Palace with my bother Turron, when we heard singing coming from down the hall. We turned the corner, and there was little princess Asami toddling down the hall, barefoot holding a bunch of yellow flowers, and singing some song about roses. The hem of her dress was covered in mud, and her nanny followed behind her holding a pair of tiny muddy slippers. I remember hearing about the kidnapping indecent when I was fifteen or so, and that Princess Asami refused to speak. I've heard she is still silent to this day. I hope it is not true, as she was such a sweet kid.

An'elle

Turron thinks highly of Sir Crispata. Which is why I assume he has been assigned as my personal guard for the journey to Hua'ma. I've of course know of him, and have spoken with him before. As the typical guard rotation is basically the same every week, I usually find him assigned to guard in front of the Kings offices. He is rather nice, but what I like most about him is his wit. Thankfully he is not as over-protective as my last guard who barely let me walk three paces ahead of him.

BIOGRAPHY
Her father was the youngest of five sons, and thus there was nothing to inherit from his father’s prosperous merchant company, and small barony. Especially after all his older brothers got their shares, and quickly ran the business into the ground. He pursued his passion for medicine and became an apothecarist. Rather than appealing to the nobility and rich with his skills in medicine he chose to settle in a village on the border of Estrye and Ilepia, and help the people for practically nothing in return.

Willa’s mother was the only daughter of the local noble family. Their elopement was not approved of by her family who had hoped to marry her off to a wealthy nobleman, and thus she was disinherited for disobeying her parents, and marrying below her station. Fast forward four children later, and Willa was born. Two days of painful labor in late winter, during one of the worst storms of the decade, she came into the world.

As a child, Willa and her family lived above their father's apothecary shoppe. It was a cramped and cluttered home, but one full of love. She was very close to her father, who she called papa. Though her father was always very busy, he always had time for his children. In his spare moments, he would teach Willa about all the medical plants, how to read, and write, and everything else he knew. At night before bed, he would tell her stories, and point out all the constellations in the sky. He instilled in her to always follow her heart and do what she thought was right. She liked to help her father in the apothecary. Young Willa didn't want to just marry, have babies, and spend the rest of her life cooking and cleaning, she wanted to forge her own destiny, and do as she pleased. She wanted an adventure and to make a difference in the world.

Willa was eight years old when her mother died from cancer. It was a crushing blow to Willa, and her father was never the same after her death. Her mother's side of the family had a change of heart with news of her death, and they offered to take Willa and her siblings in to be properly educated and raised as nobles. Her father refused not wanting split his family apart, or lose his children. But six months later he contracted scarlet fever and died. Willa and her older siblings were now under their maternal grandparents care.

Her life with her overly strict grandmother, and fearsome grandfather was not exactly pleasant. Being waited on by servants and treated differently by the villagers she always though of as her friends was hard to get used to. Cooped up indoors, learning to dance, play instruments, and become a reverent passive wife to whomever her grandfather chose, was not her cup of tea. Besides their best efforts to brainwash Willa into their way of thinking, she was steadfast in her beliefs. Unfortunately that was not the case for her eldest sister Jerrica who seemed to thrive under their guidance as materialistic snobs. A few years later, their grandfather was able to finagle Jerrica a spot as a concubine to King Magnus. Jerrica was ecstatic. To Willa the idea of being a concubine, or having to share a husband with other wives sounded awful. Over the next few years three of her siblings managed to marry into wealthy noble families, and have children.

By the time Willa was eleven, her grandparents had given up on trying to manipulate and train Willa to be the perfect mindless noble girl. They decided instead to send her to a convent in the hopes the priestess could pray some sense into her. Life at the convent was worse then under her strict grandparents. The woman of the convent believed in corporal punishment, and long hours of silent religious study. All the little joys in her life seemed to be sucked away here. Her only happiness were the letters she wrote and received from her sisters.

She was fourteen when Jerrica managed to get Willa a position as a lady-in-waiting to Princess Hanne, and with her grandparents blessing she was able to leave the convent and move to the palace. Her sister warned her before hand that Princess Hanne was hard to deal with, and that her two previous lady-in-waitings quite after less then a year. But Willa would befriend just about anyone if that meant she could leave the convent. Her arrival at the palace was one of splendor. She arrived right in the middle of the party season, so her debut into high society was quick. Princess Hanne was older then her by a few years, but the amount of trouble she would get them into made Willa feel like the older of the two sometimes.

When they first met, Hanne didn't seem to like Willa all that much, she refused to be dressed by Willa, and practically kicked her out of the room when Willa offered (as a lady-in-waiting should) to help her bathe. With all the warnings her sister had given her about the Hanne, Willa had expected her to be a snobby spoiled princess, but Hanne was anything but. She was just a little too adventurous for her own good, Willa went along with her schemes though. At first only because it was her role, but then she and Hanne actually became friends.

Willa was sixteen when her grandfather died, leaving his title, fortune, and land to Willa's eldest brother Walden, who took a concubine as soon as he was able. Willa felt sorry for his wife. What was even sadder was that her sister Linnea's husband had three concubines, that he seemed to prefer over her. Her parents had married for love. Her father was originally from Ilepia, so the concept of plural marriage and taking concubines was not something she or any of her siblings initially grew up with, but since it was the custom for the noble and wealthy of Estrye she had to come to accept it for those around her. She officially decided, when it came to herself and her possible future husband, she would only marry for love.

Life in the palace was a dream compared to the convent, and her grandparents house. Spending her days accompanying Hanne was a joy, even when Hanne decided to do something wild, she would follow along. She will be turning 19 soon, and wonders what she should be doing with herself, as both of her sisters were married with children before they were 18.

TRIVIA
. Her eldest sister, Jerrica Bonnelle, is one of King Magnus Guo's favored concubines. Jerrica is also the mother of his two youngest children, Prince Ashen, and Princess Liesolette.

BIOGRAPHY
Embrina's father, Kyo, was the best friend of Chief Magnus, as they had grown up together, and fought side by side. Kyo even saved Magnus’s life on two different occasions. Resulting in a promise of joining their families, Magnus betrothed his eldest son Alois to Kyo’s yet to be conceived future daughter. Kyo held the position of admiral of the Estrye navy, though it functioned more like a pirate fleet under his command, as he was known to be wild. Her mother, Olinda, was a young beauty from port city of Salak in Estrye. She worked mainly as a silk weaver, but also modeled for the artist guild on occasion.

Embrina’s parents met by chance one evening during the summer lights festival. Kyo recognized Olinda as the beauty in one of the newest paintings hung in Chief Magnus’s palace. Though it was not that uncommon for a noblemen to take a pretty commoner as a concubine, it was abnormal to make a commoner your legal wife, but that was what Kyo did, as he had completely fallen for her. Embrina’s was born two years later. She was a sweet little baby, with her mother’s pink eyes, and her father’s black hair. They named her after the ancient Goddess of summer that had been being celebrated at the festival they met at.

The first few years of her life were spent in her father’s country manor, surrounded by his citrus orchards in the east of Estrye. Kyo was a decorated soldier and knight at the time; he had yet to receive the position of admiral, though it was only a matter of a few years. For a short while after she was born, he tried to play the family man and good husband, but the sea was calling him back. So when Embrina was two years old her father went back to his swashbuckling ways. Every few months he would come home with stories about his adventures at sea, and he would bring home presents for her and his wife.

Unfortunately when Embrina was five years old, her mother died after a fire broke out in the manor. The whole place burned to the ground claiming not only the life of her mother, but also most of the servants. Embrina was left in the care of the few surviving servants, until her father got the news and sailed home. A month later he arrived, distraught about his wife's death, and having no idea what to do with his little girl. He was unwilling to leave her behind with his distant relatives, who he had only spoken to a handful of times. So as captain of an Estrye naval ship, he brought little Embrina aboard to stay.

Though it quickly became apparent that a navy ship was no place to raise a little noble girl. The crew had grown fond of her, but it was extremely unsafe for a child. Too many close calls with cannon blasts, and steel swords hacking away. Six months later Kyo left Embrina in the care of an old friend, the retired palace architect Colben and his family.

Colben was already raising three of his grandsons, so one more child didn’t make a difference to him. Embrina excelled under his guidance, and his grandsons became like older brothers to her. The three boy’s names were Minick, Jarrick, and Barryn. Colben didn’t know exactly how to raise a girl, so she was instead treated the same as the boys. She began learning sword fighting, and taking all the same lessons as them. Colben’s wife Dorisa was thrilled with having a little girl in the house; she had raised five sons, and now had eight grandsons, so little Embrina was like a wish come true. Embrina was happy to be smothered with love, and girly gift by Dorisa, especially since she missed her mother so much.

Two years past and when she was eight years old, news of her father being confirmed MIA arrived. During a major fight with some unidentified barbarian fleet, he and his crew were overtaken, and his ship sunk. Officially he was listed as missing, but most believed him to be dead at the bottom of the ocean. Barley two months later her maternal great aunt Zendra, showed up looking to claim Embrina, and take her home with her. Colben had tried to reason with the woman, but in the end the stubborn witch would not take no as an answer, and after a short legal battle, Embrina left with Zendra. As soon as her father was officially listed as dead, Embrina inheritance would be under her guardians control, and that was all Zendra really wanted.

Embrina cried herself to sleep every night the whole journey to her aunt’s place in the lawless city of Grogren in western Estrye. Life here was very different for the eight year old Embrina. Her aunt was the madam of a brothel in the notorious Grogren red light district. Embrina spent most of her day cleaning, and cooking, for the prostitutes that lived there. Nights where spent handing out drinks to clients, and keeping the illegitimate toddlers occupied in the basement. She also was used as a messenger between her aunts brothel, and the local gambling dens, bars, and other houses of ill repute.

Due to Colben’s protests to King Magnus, Embrina’s father was still listed as missing instead of dead, even though it had already been over two years. She was now ten years old, and Zendra claimed Embrina needed to start earning her place, since her inheritance had yet to come in and Zendra was sick of paying for her needs. So Zendra sold young Embrina’s virginity off to the highest bidder. Embrina had hit, kick, and scratched hard enough to draw blood, but the real kicker was she had bitten the bastard’s ear off. Afterwards Zendra had her flogged for injuring the customer who purchased her for the night. Then she told Embrina that she was old enough to earn her keep, and expected her to smile from now on.

Embrina ran away a week later, and at the age of 10 she was on her own. She cut off her long black hair, and dressed in boys clothes. She decided to stow away on a ship that was heading to the condiment islands, as the stories her dad told her about the islands sounded magical. Three days into the voyage she was caught. Half the crew wanted to throw her off the ship into the ocean, and the other half had no opinion on the matter. Benji, the ships medic came to her defense, saying he needed an assistant anyway, and that tossing her overboard would be a waste of free labor. The captain reluctantly agreed, and Embrina spent the rest of the voyage swabbing the deck, doing laundry, and peeling potatoes. By the end of the three month trip across the sea, she had become the little mascot of the ship, affectionately nicknamed Kit by the crew.

After docking in the islands main port, Embrina didn't really know what to do with herself. Thankfully Benji took her under his wing as an assistant, and she joined him on board another ship he had contracted with. She learned how to fight with daggers, how to amputate limbs, and sew up wounds. She wanted to go home to Estrye, but she was a minor, and officially her great aunt was her legal guardian, unless her father magically came back from the dead. She was fourteen when Benji's drinking got out of hand, and she spent more nights cleaning up his vomit than anything else. He got fired multiple times, and no one would hire him since he became a drunken liability...nobody but pirates anyway.

Embrina was able to find Benji a position on a rickety old ship. Little did she know the crew was not made up of the most loyal or friendly people. Two weeks into the journey, there was a mutiny and the captain was killed. Dwaine the cook took over as acting captain, and anyone who went against him ended up dead or locked in the brig. Benji unfortunately couldn't keep his drunken mouth shut, and Dwaine slit his throat. Thus Embrina ended up in the brig, and was told she that she was to be sold off somewhere. Weeks later, they finally docked, and Dwaine sent his goons to sell Embrina on the black market in the city. It was at this point in time that she started building walls between people, and not giving her trust out willy-nilly.

As she was being dragged to the market in the middle of the night, by some miracle she was able to slide her captors’ dagger out of it sheath and stab him in the gut. She slashed at the other goon, and missed, but the second swing got him in the leg. She ran, as fast and far as she could. A few days later she sold the dagger, and used the money to by passage to Estrye, in the hopes of finding Colben and his family though she couldn't remember where in Estrye they lived. The voyage was safe and uneventful.

It took six months but she finally made it to Colben’s home, and they took her in with loving arms. They also had news of her father. He was not dead, but in fact had been alive, living in a small An’elle village, suffering from memory loss. After a suffering a bad sickness, he regained his memories and made his way back to Estrye three years ago. Zendra had been locked up, and her father had been searching for Embrina since. She also now had a step-mother and half brother, Gavin, who just turned four years old.

The reunion with her father was sweet, he even cried, which was extremely rare for him. Her step-mother Cornelia was the An'elle woman who had taken care of her father when he lost his memory, and they had married when she had found herself pregnant three years ago before he regained his memories. Officially Cordelia was her father's concubine, but as he had no living legal wife, Cordelia was treated as the high lady of the household. With Embrina being back, she technically should have taken over that position, but Embrina had spent the last seven or so years surviving, and was nothing like a noble girl should be. She had no idea how to behave, or do her duties. Not that her father particularly cared about her behavior, in fact he loved that she knew how to sail, and wield a sword.

She wanted to be the perfect daughter for her father, who she had thought was dead for almost a decade. So under her step-mothers guidance she was rigorously taught etiquette, manors, music, dancing, fashion, art, and other noble lady pursuits. A year or so later her father happily explained to her that she was betrothed to King Magnus's oldest son, and that she had been so, since she was born. Apparently she had even met him before, back when she was four years old during Alois's birthday celebration at the palace. Not that she could remember it.

Traditionally noble women in Estrye married between the ages of 16 and 20, and apparently now that she was 16 her father and King Magnus wished to officially join their families. Thankfully Cordelia was on Embrina's side when she objected to the hasty marriage. And Alois also expressed a desire for a proper courting period before an actual marriage. So instead, the wedding was postponed for another year, giving her more time to memorize and be educated in the ways of being a noble woman; something most girls started at three years old, she had only been learning for a little over a year.

In the meantime her great aunt Zendra died in prison before she could officially be punished for her list of crimes. By the time the year passed, Embrina had given up on the idea of becoming the perfect noble daughter, as her father seemed happy and proud of her just as she was. As someone marrying into Estrye's royal family she did have to keep up her noble lady studies, but she didn't stress about it anymore. She met with Alois a dozen or so times over the year, at parties, and on occasion they had tea in the place gardens. "Courting" as everyone referred to it, was not as dull as she assumed it would be. And they slowly went from cordial polite strangers to become friends. At least according to Embrina, it was hard to read Alois.

Their wedding was put off again and again over the next three years, first by both parties, but then the reasons of being young, unprepared, and in need of proper education stopped being valid for Embrina, and it was only Alois excuses that prolonged their engagement.
