Despite the prince's earlier mirth the extended silence really gnaws at the young soldier and as it stretches on all he can think about is all the horrible tales he's heard about people who messed with or insulted the royal family. He is no fool, he knows most not to be true, but it is common knowledge that it is wrong to do, and such rumors normally have at least a small base in fact. His brain goes wild, getting more and more elaborate with his death, however as it does so it almost calms him down. 'Death is something I have faced several time. I find it far more calming an idea that anyone really should. But somehow, my demise almost sounds better than what's happening, right now'
He jumps as he hears the prince rise, his soldier instincts honed to respond to such motions when as stressed as he is. The prince's promise helps him calm down enough to open his eyes, looking up to watch the man walk closer to him. His body remains at attention, his eyes the only thing moving even as his head remains tilting down out of respect. 'He may just be being nice to please his father. I have heard many stories about the prince, not all very flattering, though I will say many spoke of how pretty he is, but even then, I am surprised. I think it mostly has to do with the ones that admitted his beauty were a but more lewd in their appreciation than I am' As the prince goes on to state his view on wars, in general, Aki finds himself feeling once more lashed by his words. However he once more holds his tongue.
A nervous tremble runs through his body as Hiro moves in closer, pulling one of his hands from behind his back then proceeding to drag him out of the indoor garden area. It takes less than five steps to match the younger male's pace and without thinking Akito follows him silently. As they walk once more into a room, his eyes go first to the walls, then simply go wide as the man announces that it's his room. He falls back into attention, for the comfort of it, and does his best not to look around in that same child like manner he'd had with the other rooms. 'One's room is their private place. Bringing me here. . .I don't know what it means, but with how he obviously views my kind, it can't really be because he wants me in here'
His eyes lock firmly on the floor when he realizes that the prince has decided to change and for a brief moment wonders if that is some kind of custom for royalty. Having only one outfit, Akito has never really had to think about what he'll be wearing the next day. All of his unit wore the same outfit for the entire war, so even if he changed once a day, he always looked the same. Even now, other than the overcoat, he looks the same he always has. While the prince is out of sight, even as he tries desperately to avoid it, Aki can't help but look to the wall with the tiger. Sparing a glance at the screen he quickly but quietly stalks over to the wall and with a gentle hand reaches out to stroke the tiger's face. 'Tiger in the grass. . . .That's how I feel right now. Like there is some fearsome beast just waiting to pounce on me at the slightest misstep. . .'
When Hiro finally comes back into sight Aki turns and watches him, his eyes still down a bit. A habit not soon unlearned, he wonders how long it will be before he can look into his betrothed's eyes without invitation. 'Speaking of invitations. . .Is he really inviting me to stay in this plush room with him? I don't see us getting along well enough, at least not for a while, to be able to share his private space. . . .' Coughing lightly he steps away from the wall, taking up a spot near the middle of the room while he thinks. When at last he comes up with an answer, he has the distinct impression it's not something the young man will like, however he feels the need to ask anyways. “Actually, I would like to see the training grounds. You father was a soldier, like many kings before him, and I would like to see where they stay in shape. . .I find comfort in training. . .” The last part he says softly, almost to himself but, loud enough for the other in the room to hear.

So, who do you think should start? I think either of us could work, but it may be better if you do. I'm thinking my guy would find yours out in the woods. . . . .But your post wouldn't go to actually meeting me, just an establishing post so I know what my guy would be walking into :P Sound good?
No no, leave him as is. I can get my thrills for that particular itch in other places. I like being a Papa in stories anyways :P Glad you like my guy! Yours is adorable :P
Ah, I see you want no actual sex going on in this RP. . .Cute kid!
~*~*~*~*~
Name: Dirk O'Lauriel
Race: Vampire
Age: Over 1,000(Looks 23)
Height: 6' 1”
Weight: 149lbs
Hair: Black, mid back length, straight, bangs as long as the rest of the hair, parted in the middle, most hair tied back in a hair ribbon most of the time, with bangs left loose to frame face.
Eyes: Frosty light blue(Flash silver when angry).
Skin: Alabaster.
Build: Slender, not scrawny, only vague muscle definition on arms and legs.
Clothes: Tends to wear English gentleman’s garb in dark colors consisting of coat, undershirt, cravat, vest, pants that match the coat, and shiny black shoes. At first meeting he is wearing a dark purple overcoat and pants with deep red undershirt and matching cravat, black vest, and of course the black shoes.
Accessories: Has a wide variety of cravat chains, but only brought three silver ones set with different colored gems for the journey. On the shell of his right ear he wears the mark of his house, which he is the head of, in the form of an ear cuff, silver, with a red stone, inside of which is a falcon beneath the surface.
Powers/Skills(If Applicable): Faster and stronger than humans with better senses and the ability to turn humans into vampires. Good at climbing and nails can extend a little to become claws. Fangs are naturally inconspicuous however they do grow a little longer when feeding. Darkness is no obstacle. Due to his age he is able to last several minutes in sunlight, and if covered in thick clothes he can last up to an hour before the burns become life threatening.
General Personality: Despite his love for the rich life, Dirk has always had a real sense of adventure. His early life is shrouded in mystery and people have discovered it's not a good subject to ask about as it seems to trigger some negative feelings. He fits in easier with humans than most due to his apparent easy going nature despite his high status in society. He is rather forgiving, however he holds some strong morals that when broken before him he is compelled to act. He is very over protective of children and will go so far as to attack his fellow vampires if he sees them feeding off the young. Despite how well he gets along with humans, he is also disgusted by them on the whole, able to get along with them as long as he doesn't think about how foolish and petty they are as a species.
Background: He was turned a long time ago and spent most of his young like with his sire. Not much is known beyond that. For several years after they separated he traveled a lot, getting to know the world the best he could. It wasn't until he found a calling as a horse breeder that he actually settled down. Before that he worked as a map maker, occasionally “Dying” while out exploring and popping up as a cousin thousands of miles away who picks up the business. However after becoming a world renown horse breeder two generations ago he has regularly taken in youth to “Take over” his business, and running things behind the scenes as an anonymous donor.
The youth would be bound to him, grow old, and die, and another would take their place. Once the new world was discovered he saw it as a chance to be out in the open again and after checking to make sure the coven thought it safe set out to the new world with some good breeding stock. Horses are in great need in the new world so he quickly rose in wealth and fame, however as with any vampire coven, he has his duties to them as well, and when called on, he acts. This particular case interest him greatly and after receiving the order he set out right away to the town, leaving his estate in capable hands.

I'd like a little thought on the void itself. Is this just black nothingness? Is there random crap floating around from the "Gods" making stuff and leaving it to drift when they get bored with it? Also, I wanna talk about the nature of the rift a bit Is it some big rip in space, more like a portal, or is it even stationary? I like the idea of a part of the universe just having this almost gate like thing where the rift is, and no one's normally around it. "Heaven" would be a bit of a ways from it me thinks. Your thoughts?
The light smile gracing Seishu's lips is by far one of the most subtle gestures he's ever offered the man he loves, however when that stream of negative energy begins streaming into him he almost closes his eyes in the pleasure of it. Kaila and Tyar are both fascinated at the sight, but as they both begin working up their own shields they have little time to wonder about it. Like rockets they fire forward and take out the flying sentries, their bodies falling slow so they don't hit the ground too hard. Seishu pours on the speed and in no time his wings snap out bringing the two of them to a dead stop. His eyes fall on to the man in his arms and with a soft sigh he leans in to whisper in his ear.
“You are the most amazing guy I've ever met. You balance so much, and despite your shortcommings, you still inspire all the love an loyalty due a guardian. I envy you, and I have come to care for you in ways that would make Caligula himself blush. You are beautiful, and so strong. I can't wait to see you shine. Become my beautiful star in the night.” The stream of positive energy flows into the smaller guardian and as soon as the last wisps of it vanishes Seishu drops him. His aim is true, Enasi's landing point will be just off center of the fountain in the middle of the courtyard. As he watches the main fall his shield comes up and his minions crowd around him, their own shields strengthening his. Once he is at the right point in mid air for the blast Seishu shouts, “Now!”

When Aryx mentions his sudden confidence Viltez' tail begins lashing back and forth playfully behind him as his smile widens with a nod. 'I do suddenly feel quite confident. I think figuring out this about my tail has made me want to move forward with it. I want to get better, and I'm no longer afraid. . .At least, not of my tail. . .' The half-breed is definitely curious about the sudden change, however he has little time to think about it as his guest complies with his wishes, with enthusiasm. The first cone comes at him fast but almost as if he could sense the playfulness in the stranger, Viltez is prepared for it.
Catching it with one hand he whips it back at Aryx who whips another one. This time his tail snags it before it hits him. Somewhere in the back of the mind he knows the man is aiming at him on purpose, but rather than being upset, it feels somehow comforting. 'He's testing me, my reactions. I've already shown that it will attack threats, and responds to how I feel, and I may be playful right now, but it would be nice to know it will defend me even when I'm not really sure there is danger' Just as he thinks this a cone gets split in half with a loud crack as his thoughts distract him from the actual game. With a laugh his tail slips out to pick up another cone and like a bullwhip snaps it at Aryx.
The game takes them a ways from where they started, Viltez ducking behind trees and climbing rocks to check the rang and angles. He notices that when climbing his tail moves to steady him and when his footing is unsure it acts almost like a third leg. 'It seems when I let it act naturally, and I act with it, we work together towards the ends I'm aiming for. I like that idea. . . .' Viltez laughs lightly, climbing on to a rise before returning the cone he just caught. He seems almost perfectly at ease now, no fear or nervousness behind his gaze. He doesn't know that it is the forest itself that is part of why he feels better, or that it was Aryx that facilitated it. All he knows is he feels alright, and this man is okay with him, just as he is. It is a good feeling.

Feeling good is good! I have faith in you! You can do it!
Blinking slowly Yu smiles softly, standing up straight. His head rotates this way and that, making sure no one is around. Once he is sure he steps in a little closer to the youth and kneels down. With his smile still in place he motions for the young man to join him. “Would you come down here for a moment? You are not being rude, however I would like for you to have as much proof as you need.”
The human nodded, ever so slightly confused by the request, but willing to oblige. He knelt down in front of the youkai, with only the slightest feeling of confusion. Well, this isn't the weirdest thing I've ever done.
The smile never wavers as he waits for the boy to get settled. Once in place he gently reaches out for one of Ethan's hands and lifts it up. Careful to move slowly he places the boy's palm over his heart and for a few seconds nothing happens however after a moment he begins shifting back into his animal form. His body shrinks, fur erupts across his skin and the clothing vanishes. The transformation is quite fluid and beautiful, and by the end Yu stands on his hind legs in front of the youth with his paws crisscrossed atop the extended arm. He begins purring loudly under the youth's palm.
Ethan adjusted his glasses with his other hands, watching with the wide eyes of a child. "That is amazing..." he muttered, fascinated and stunned. Not wanting to keep staring at Yu like the youkai was on display or something, he stood up and softened. "You are a remarkable being," he commented, still unable to keep the awe from his voice.
Yu's purrs redouble at the obvious amazement on the youth's face. As a feline, he loves the positive attention and as he drops on to all fours he slips forward to rub against Ethan's legs. Looking up he murmurs softly, “Thank you. I find you quite interesting as well.” Taking a few paces away, he turns and sits, picking his paw and rubbing his face a few times before saying, “Should we part for the evening? This would give you time to think, and you know where to find me I hope.”
If I leave, I will surely find that this has all been a dream. Besides, I like his company. Ethan laughed slightly. "Me? Interesting? I'm just a boring human," he replied teasingly. "Thank you for indulging me. Goodnight." As he turned away, he remembered something. "Wait, I don't even know what to call you... I'm always forgetting to ask that," he said, turning back.
Yu lets out a yawn, shaking his head. “I think you are interesting. . .” He gives a little bow, watching the boy leave for a few seconds before he turns back. Trotting forward Yu pauses next to the youth and looks up. “My name is Yu, and you little one?”
"Ethan," the young man replied, smiling a little.
Yu returns the smile and before heading out he pushes up once more on to his back legs and licks the human's hand. Dropping back down the youkai makes his way down the walk until he is beside a wall. Once at the wall he launches himself the fifteen feet into he air it takes to get atop it before racing off towards his favorite evening place to find food. A family that has taking a liking to him leave a bowl of scraps out every evening, and if he gets there before other scavengers he normally gets a fairly good meal. As he runs he thinks about the encounter with Ethan.
'He looked really amazed, and he asked smart questions. He really should not be attacked the way he is. . .' At the thought of him being attacked Yu picks up his speed, determined to eat and get back to the arch soon. Though he knows the boy will likely not seek him out in the night, nor need him, he still wants to be there should he be. Dropping into the back yard just in time for the back door to close after the scraps are in place Yu eats quickly and is off again before the little girl who normally watches for him returns to the door. Like a bolt he races to the arch and settles down, stretching out for his before bed nap.

So, your king's kingdom is a big badass kingdom, got it.
A less racists kingdom, sounds good! Oh, and I wanna be a beast man. . . .Any issue?
Yes, those are the base 4. Base 6 adds Light and Dark, and everything after that are sub divisions. I was just wondering what "Known" magics you want in the RP.
