The Dream of a Princess (open)

[ARaynes]

The King's daughter chose not to marry and wed a knight. Her views were often time different from her father's. This is her story. The story of a Princess falling for a knight, that was not such, only a peasant.

This story has no ending as of yet and all character except the princess are free. A king, a peasant (Thought to be a knight), and so on and so forth.

IC:King Alexander watched as his daughter and her chamber maid made their way out of the atrium. She was off to think of ways to deny her heritage as she had done so many times before.

In all reality she was going up to her tower where she often wished apon the stars that a man would come and wisk her away from the life of a noble. Jousting was boring to her. Balls of grand design seemed only to be a way for her father to introduce her to men of Noble birth to wed her.

Yet, a man of noble birth was not her hearts desire. She wanted to marry and live a quiet life. One where she was not asked to dance with all the young men at a ball. A life where she could walk the grounds without hearing a name of this noble or that.

This night, things would change. She thought to herself. "My love will come, whisking me away from here, will he not, nurse?" There was no answer, only silence as the nurse was mute. But she knew in her heart, that one day such a thing would happen.

Nurse:

Her words caught my attention as I drew her bath. Only with a touch and smile I could answer, mute since birth. Only a few years older then the Princess, in years, but ages in experience. Would I could tell her that her love would not magically appear, but needed to be sought and found. Like a treasure. Only worthy if fought and paid for. And then just as eagerly and ruthlessly kept close.

But I was a nurse, simple in her eyes. Lovingly I undressed her and helped her to the waters, the waters that had always soothed her in the past.

Peasent (who wishes he was a knight)

He was nothing more than a 21 year old peasent. A commoner born to a family in poverty; the only thing that he has going for him are good looks, some fine clothes, and a sword that was given to his father my a foreigner (a katana from Japan).

Years ago, as a young lad, he spied the princess heading towards the castle in a procession. She was so lovely, yet so sad. He vowed on that day to make her happy. He trained himself to use this strange blade, and worked hard for years to get these decent looking tunic, pants, and shoes. He had a handsome face that rivaled any prince's, and a body that most knight's trained years for. His eyes were like jade pools, and his hair as brown as fertile earth.

What he was planning to do could kill him. He was going to scale the wall of the castle and wisk the Princess away to live happily ever after.

So now he began to scale the wall, pausing when someone came by a window.

Evil Sorceress

Jealous of the princess's beauty and charm,the evil sorceress Angelique sets out to stop anyone,but anyone from rescuing the princess.. hearing that a young knight or peasant may try to scale the walls ,she places a curse of sharp thorns growing all around them ,intertwining wverywhere

 

[Suikodude007]

Peasent

A he climbed, the wall sprouted vines of thorns; they were everywhere!

But that did not stop him.... with hands that were now stained blood red, he continued to climb.

Each handful tore into the flesh of his palms, but his desire and courage did not faulter. Onward and upward he went.

He saw a window just a little bit above him on his right... he decided to go for it.

 

[~Dream~]

Evil Sorceress

watching the courage and stamina of the peasant as he continued to climb,only angered the sorceress further.
angrily ,she concocted yet another plan ,perhaps another spell,surely somthing will disuade him?
"Wonder if he's gonna like what he "sees' at that window he's coming up to now ? she cackled evily as only she could..

 

[Suikodude007]

Finally, he reached the window. Pulled himself up and rested for a second. He look at his hands, which were stained crimson with his own blood, the coppery smell reaching his nose. He pulled out some cloth, and bandaged his hands. He the reached into his side pouch, and pulled out some leather archer's gloves. Gingerly, he put them on.

He decided to see where he was at. He turned around, and what he saw in the window was...

 

[ARaynes]

OOC:Waiting on Artful's dream to post what he sees then I will post. Want to know what is hiding in my window! LOL

 

[~Dream~]

what he saw in the window was

the evil sorceress (who had made herself into the exact likeness of the princess)
"At last someone is here to rescue me and take me away from all of this!"
"What is your name ,my rescuer?'
The evil sorceress thought to hersel(now not only will she NOT be able to escape ,hehe but I shall also steal her man!! ) she laughed wickedly..

 

[Suikodude007]

Myse (pronounced Mice)

His katana began to vibrate a little.

Huh... wonder why it is doing that? he tought.

"My name is Myse. I am a knight from a far away land. I have come to take you away to be my bride," he said valiently. His hands still continued to bleed. He smiled at her. (ooc- my character looks like my avatar, except for the hair color and ears)
IC-"Please, come away with me princess," I hold out my hand to her. The sword continues to vibrate.

(ooc- ARaynes, when ur on tomorrow, be sure to give the princess a name. and we need a name for the soceress.)

*bump*

 

[~Dream~]

Evil Sorceress(Angelique)

"Yes ,of course I'll come away with you my brave Sir,said the princess/sorceress.
"I cant wait to get out of this place"! Taking his hand she stepped out of the window."Why is your sword vibrating so..kind Sir? Knowing the Kitana was magical and could possibly give her identity away the Princess/sorceress grabbed for it.."Can I see it ,please?"

 

[Suikodude007]

Myse

"Ummm.... sure," he said after she snatched it from his hands.

It then began to make a humming noise, similar to the sound that a fibulater (shock pads at hospital used to stimulate an unbeating heart) powering up. He grabbed it from her when he saw sparks and currents or electricity start to form around it's seath.

"Sorry, I don't know why it is acting like that."

He looked out the window and noticed that the vines were still there. "You don't mind if I hide out in here till everyone is asleep; its a long way down, and I don't want to put you at risk cy climbing down."
