Until Death (Arranged Marriage) OPEN!!

[Zenko Kaze]

Helena Ash
Promise me, When you see
A white rose, you'll think of me

Helena sat in the carriage, still fuming over why she in there and where she was going. Her parents told her out of the blue, during their evening meal, that she was chosen to be married to a nobleman from the Fire Kingdom. She kept herself together, asking her parents when the wedding will be and when she would be leaving. When she left the table and went into her room, she grabbed a sword that was used for decoration and hacked at her bed frame. There was barely any of it left, pieces of wood chips all over the room. That was two weeks ago, and she was now going to the Earth Kingdom castle. She had her silver circlet on, small silver ribbons twisted in her unusual white and black hair. She was wearing a silver and light green dress. She was completely uncomfortable, she would rather be wearing her usual clothes, a shirt and pants.

"Are you ok Helena?" a small voice asked. She looked down at her pet flying squirrel, looking up at her with his brown eyes. She smiled, petting the top of his gray furry head. "I'll be fine, Mikko. It's part of my job as a noblewoman." She looked out the window, watching the trees pass by. Beyond them, she saw the castle. She had visited it a few times, during important meetings and dinners.

The carriage stopped at the front doors, she waited till one of her servants opened the door and stepped out, taking the hand offered by one of the servants. Mikko had climbed onto her shoulder, looking around excitedly. She thanked him and entered the doors, looking at the main hall. It was wonderfully decorated, and very busy. Helpers running around, making sure that everything was ready for their arrival. She watched her bags being taken to a room that was to be hers. She didn't feel like going to her room, she quickly plucked a snack from one of the trays that a servant was carrying. She looked around as she ate it, hoping no one had seen her. She looked up at one of the paintings, wondering if anyone else from the kingdoms had arrived yet.

XXXX☣ Damien had been out for a little while, getting a new suit fitted for the party, so he hadn't been in the castle almost all day. Since they relied on the old fashioned mode of transportation, he was in a carriage led by two beautiful horses. He could tell upon his arrival that he wasn't one of the first to arrive. Before stepping out of the buggy, he sighed a bit and checked himself in the mirror that was inside His hair was good enough, though it was always a little messy and hard to tame. He was dressed to impress, like all the others attending the ball would be. He was wearing a black tuxedo with a green tie and handkerchief to match his eyes, which were an unusually brilliant shade of green.

XXXX☣ Damien walked up to the castle and stepped inside after a butler opened the doors for him. Which actually kind of bothered Damien as he felt he was fully capable of opening doors on his own. Damien just walked inside and off to the main hall, nodding slightly when he saw Helena and her pet squirrel."Lady Helena." He said simply, his own manner of saying hello. Damien was a man of few words. Though he still didn't completely know what to think of this whole arrangement.

You think you're special
You think you're something else

Darya was sitting in her carriage. She was very unenthusiastic about this whole arranged marriage about this. This was the last thing she really wanted to be involved in. She was a fierce Dragon rider... she had a glorious future before this all happened. The only reason she was even here, was because her two older sisters were already married. Her father had been more upset than she was when he found out that his gifted daughter was being taken away to marry some random person. Although just like her, he didn't have any choice in the matter. Which was very disappointing to her since she had hoped he might have been able to get her out of this.

Darya sighed some. She was in a proper red dress that her mother had gotten for you. It was rather beautiful, but not really Darya's style. Yes, she did wear dresses to any formal events she had to attend. But you certainly couldn't wear a dress riding a dragon. Well, you could, it just made it a lot harder and really inconvenient. So it just wasn't something she was used to. Plus having her cleavage all showing was a little uncomfortable. She knew her chest was a bit bigger than average, but she didn't like advertising that.

Laying next to Darya in the carriage was Lyulf (see pet form for coloration), he was her dragon familiar. He was currently in his pet form. Every dragon had two forms, a pet form, which was about the size of a cat or small dog, and a natural form, which normally ranged from horse sized to elephant sized. Every dragon rider had a dragon familiar, and you were born into being a dragon rider. Whenever there was a child of a dragon rider born, at the same time a dragon hatched an egg. That egg was the familiar to that child. The egg then would lay dormant until the child was old enough to care for their dragon. When a child was going to be trained to be a rider, they normally got and hatched their eggs between the ages of 5-8. Although those who were not going to ride them, normally got their eggs when they started puberty at 13 or 14. These dragons normally stayed in their pet form for the duration of their lives.

Darya sighed when they finally arrived at the earth kingdom. It had been a 5 day trip to get here. It would have taken her two days if her mother had just let her ride there, but she said that wasn't how you made a good first impression. she sighed some. When the carriage came to a stop, she got up. She looked at Lyulf. "Come on sleepy, time to go." She said simply. Lyulf opened an eye and looked at her. He sighed before getting up. He crawled up her extended arm and onto her shoulders, he just hung around the back side of her neck, his tail curling around the front of her neck kind of like a necklace. She then got out of the carriage. It had dropped her off in the town center, where the peace festival was taking place. She was supposed to be at the festival tonight. The carriage left once she was out, it was going to bring her stuff off to the castle. She sighed, now what was she going to do?

That don't impress me much
You think you're cool but have you got the touch
Don't get me wrong, yeah I think you're alright
But that won't keep me warm on the long, cold, lonely nights
That don't impress me much

⇒ The ride to the Earth Kingdom was rather wonderful, Maggie has never been on land longer than a couple minutes so the ride to this kingdom was something that was new for her. Every three hours, she would make the driver stop and she would escape into this new world for a couple minutes, taking in the surrounds and the air, allowing her feet to feel the grass, dirt and just the feel of the earth. She was awed as the land changed from beaches, to planes, and then to forest. The tress were so tall! She couldn't even touch the first branch when she jumped, laughing when some of the animals gave her a curious look.

Now that she was so close to the castle, her stomach rolled from nerves and the distaste of being inside tall walls once again after tasting this freedom. "I hope the Lord will be handsome" she says in jokingly to herself, she was being wishful, yet she didn't know much of men, what was she suppost to except? This was a man that she knew nothing about, so she just picked a trait out of her head and that is what she says she wishes for when someone asks. She had a large library at her fingertips for the past eleven years and knew quite a lot about the outside world, by having an idea about it and knowing it were two completely different things. So as the castle came into view, she held her breath not just because of its beauty, but because that would be her new cage for the next ten years with a man that would be her new leash.

As the buggie stopped infront of the castle, she felt the weight of it crushing down on her yet, as she stepped out into the courtyard, her feet were covered with proper shoes and her dressgown was clean and crisp. Her hair was pulled up in a half style, though some of her hair was still as wavey as it was if she came out of the water just then. As she looked around the yard, some of the men running around, gave her a second glance, she knew her hair and eyes were queers to the eyes. A dark shade of pink and voilet eyes that can't make up their minds if they are blue or purple. Giving them a smile, she walked up the steps and entered the castle, her heart beating against her chest as she walked into the main hall, "Good morn everyone" she says in greeting as she curtsy, "My name is Margaret Ross, call me Maggie" she introduces herself to them, unsure of what else to say to them she allowed her eyes to roam over things. ⇐

Jay let out a soft sigh, staring at the passing clouds. He was surrounded on all sides by members of the Angel Guard, the king and queen's personal army. Their pristine white wings glittered in the sunlight that reflected down on them. Jay's wings, on the other hand, were pure black, spanning a few inches longer than the Angel Guard's wings. The seemed to glow instead of glitter, and with a dark hue.

Suddenly, in perfect synchronization, they turned and dived through the clouds, breaking through the cover and descending at an extremely fast pace. They went in full dive bomb, none of them batting an eye. When they came within about five feet from the ground, they twisted upwards, tucking their wings in as they soared carefully over the ground. The Earth Kingdom now came into view for them, and one by one, the Angel Guard soldiers broke away, turning and flying back up into the clouds.

By the time Jay reached the castle, he was by himself. He tucked his wings in, dropping a few feet to the ground. He looked behind him, then sighed quietly. Alone again. It wasn't a big surprise. The escort was really only to make sure he wasn't shot down on his way to the Earth Kingdom. Sinjin wouldn't arrive for awhile, and neither would his luggage. He was stuck with nothing for now...

Sighing, he adjusted the lapels on his coat. It was a dark purple dress coat with matching purple vest and pure white shirt and black tie. His pants were black, and he wore knee-high riding boots. He wore golden cuffs, and golden buttons on his coat. He looked like royalty, and he supposed he was. He certainly wasn't treated like it, but at least his mother could dress him up like a doll and ship him out to be married.

Retaining another sigh, Jay shifted his golden eyes to the castle. A beautiful work of architecture. But it was so warm here. Jay pulled at his collar, then looked around. He saw a woman retreating into the castle, and decided to follow her. He walked up the stairs, hand gripping the ceremonial sword strapped to his hip. The blade was blunt, but it sure looked nice with a handle of darkened wood and golden details.

He quietly circumvented the girl who introduced herself as Maggie, turning to her. "A pleasure, Maggie," he replied, his stance straight with a polite smile on his face. "I am Jayson Cassius, but please, call me Jay."

He offered his hand to her, which was cloaked in a fine white felt glove.

⇒ Maggie hadn't heard anyone else come in and when the gentlemen spoke, she jumped a little as her eyes focused on him, her hand to her chest as she gave him a shaken smile. "Oh my... You frightened me, Lord Jay" she spoke as her eyes took him in, "You look rather handsome" she says as her eyes came to focus on his eyes, they were queer like hers', a molten gold. When she noticed at his hand was held out for her, she tilted her head and kinda stared at with a frown. Was she suppost to take it? If so, was she suppost to kiss it? She wasn't sure if the other kingdom's had different greeting styles, at her home, they bowed and curtsied for greeting, or hugged. Taking his hand after couple of moments, she went with the only other greeting she knew of and kissed it lightly before dropping his hand.

A servent came over to them, holding a tray full of different drinks, she took a glass holding the clear liquid of water in it and sipped on it. She felt awkward in this conversation since she hadn't met many strangers but more so because she hadn't met many male strangers. "Its a pleasure to meet you" she says after the moments of silence passed. She sipped on the water as she waited for his reply, curiousity in her eyes as she began to take in the other people again and wandering which kingdm he came from. She wasn't able to guess, he a darker vibe about him yet, he dressed richly and beautifully. ⇐

ANNOUNCEMENT

The festival is NOT in the castle. The festival will be in the center of town on the festival grounds. A large, decorated field with stands for food and entertainment. If your characters want to drop off luggage there that's alright, but they will be celebrating at a different location.

Jay blinked in surprise when she kissed his hand. He certainly hadn't expected that. He'd expected her to place his hand in his so he could do the kissing. But oh well. She didn't seem to be of the Air Kingdom. Her appearance suggested Water Kingdom. Her beauty was different from that he usually saw. The women of the Air Kingdom prided themselves in eyes and facial features, but her beauty seemed to extend from her face along her form. Very interesting.

He smiled to her, letting his hand rest on his sword. "I apologize for frightening you, milady," he said. His voice was deep, but raspy, almost. It wasn't painful to listen to, but it was distinct, enough to grab one's attention. "Thank you. I must say, you are quite beautiful yourself." He bowed a little. Politeness was first on his list in most cases. He had to work constantly just to prove that he wasn't some kind of monster, at least to others back home.

As the silence passed, he too felt like she was tensed. His eyes glanced around the room. There were three others there, one woman with a dragon and two that looked native to the area. The woman with the dragon was surely a dragon rider.

His eyes moved over to Maggie again. "Tell me, are you from the Water Kingdom?" he asked. "You seem the type. I'm from the Air Kingdom myself, so I'm afraid I do not leave the mountains much."

XXXX☣ Damien was still standing around the main hall of the castle, not really saying much of anything to anybody. When the others came in, he gave a slight smile and nodded as a way of saying hello. The night was still young, so the festival wasn't going to start for a little while, although they were surely close to finished setting it all up. Until then, there were cooks in the castle kitchen making hors d'oeuvres to bring out to the lords and ladies. This night should be interesting to say the least, although nobody knew who they were to be paired up with yet. Damien was curious, as probably everyone else was too, but he didn't seem very interested. It was a mild curiosity at best.

XXXX☣ Damien had been standing around listening to the others talk and snacking on some shrimp when he overheard a lord and lady talking. "The carriage set to take us all to the festival is not here yet." He said simply in his foreign accent. "We will have to wait for the festival to start, and also for others to show up...Although if they're late we will leave them behind." He said simply. They had a scheduled ride set to bring everyone to the festival at the same time. If anyone didn't show up in time for the carriage, they'd still be brought to the festival. They would just have to wait for another carriage to make its way to the castle.

Helena heard her name, Mikko getting excited. She turned, seeing Damien, and smiled. She hadn't seen him since the meeting three months ago. He still looked like the strong silent type that he was. His hair was messy, still unable to be tamed as usual, it was probably because of his second nature. "Lord Damien, how have you been? Haven't seen you in a while." She asked, as Mikko flew onto Damien's shoulder, sniffing his cheek. "Mikko get back here, you know better."

Helena shook her head, smiling. She turned toward the door, seeing a woman walk in and introduce herself as Margret Ross. Helena smiled at her as another person walked in, someone from the Air Kingdom. It seemed that they were arriving, Helena looked out for anyone that seemed to be from the Fire Kingdom. She looked at Damien. "How do you feel about this? Hopefully as nervous and unhappy as I feel."

XXXX☣ Damien had been standing there with a small plate in his hand, sampling some snacks while he waited for the carriage. Hopefully it wasn't going to take too long. He was rather big, being tall and muscular, so these little snacks wouldn't hold him off for too long. Real food was what he needed. It seemed as though Helena had a free minute to talk now since she wasn't dealing with her luggage or anything. When Helena came over Damien nodded a bit. He was just about to answer her question when Mikko glided over to his shoulder and sniffed his cheek. Damien made a bit of a face and picked the squirrel up gently by the scruff of its neck before handing it back to Helena. He wasn't a fan of critters. Mostly because he tended to eat them.

XXXX☣ "I've been fine." He asked simply, just to be polite. Still, Damien wasn't much for talking but he would hold a conversation if the other person had something interesting to say. Had Helena not spoken again, Damien would have asked how she was, but she ended up telling him that she was nervous and unhappy. Damien simply shrugged. "I'm not sure how I feel yet." Sure, he didn't like it, but he'd at least give it a shot. It was the least he could do for his kingdom and especially his parents, seeing as they adopted him and saved his life to begin with. Plus he was loyal to the kingdom.

XXXX☣ Hopefully the person he was to be paired up with wouldn't be annoying. He didn't like the fact that they wouldn't know who they were to be paired up with until they got to the festival. There was supposed to be some sort of announcement or something. Damien couldn't really remember exactly, since he hadn't been paying attention when the nobles went over the plans with him.

((That's alright, you didn't have to edit since my post was directed at yours to correct it. I forgot to mention that the event wasn't at the castle so I figured since everyone was already there, they could go together. So that was my fault. Although I've made an ooc thread for everyone to post in just to chat link to ooc It'll also be posted on the first page/first post.))

⇒ Seeing his surprise, she gave him an uncertain smile, "I did that incorrectly, didn't I?" Maggie asked, watching his expression as she refocused on him. A light rose colored her cheeks from embarassment, he hadn't seemed upset with her for messing up his custom, which was a relief. "Forgive me, I am not used to other people's customs. How was I suppost to do that?" she asks as she gave him a smile, might as well learn the proper way, she was going to be with these people for a long time.

Her cheeks deeped as he told her she was beautiful, leaving her staring at him with her mouth open slightly. That wasn't something she heard often, she always thought she was funny looking, with her odd hair and eyes. Clearing her throat, she looked away from him, trying to hide the blush and the smile on her lips, "T-thank y-you..." she says as she looked back at him, hoping her cheeks weren't as red as they were. Even in her embarassed state, she could tell he was laying the politeness on thick, making her wondered if he was just being polite.

Maggie was thankful when someone spoke up, informing them of that ther carriage was not here yet to take them to the festival, her eyes grew wide at the thought. "A festival? That sounds wonderful!" she says with glee in her voice, oh that sounded like so much fun. To think she could would be outside and around so many people and the fun games! "Do you also know who we will be paired with?" she asks, though she figured she knew the answer to that question. And soon he was distracted with another woman, they seemed to be familiar with eachother and knew they were of the same kingdom, Earth Kingdom to be correct.

Looking back at Jay, she noticed him looking at the woman with the dragon around her neck. At first she thought it was just fake, but it was a living breathing dragon! She thought they were much bigger than that, for them to ride them... Then Jay pulled her attention back to him, asking if she was of the water kingdom and he was from the air, she gave him a smile, "Yes, I am from the Water Kingdom, born and raised there. This is actually the first time I have ever been out of the Kingdom, let alone the castle for this long" she answers giving him a small nod. "Air? That is impressive. I bet it is beautiful up there in the mountains, but cold... I don't think I could handle the cold" she laughs, letting her finger play with the rim of her glass. ⇐

Jay couldn't help but loosen up at her mention of doing the greeting incorrectly. "Ah, you were close. Allow me to show you how it is done in the Air Kingdom." He once more offered his hand, and when her hand was in it, he bent down, one hand behind his back, and he kissed the back of her palm. He smiled up at her, releasing her hand. "Again, you were very close."

He noticed how flustered she'd become when he told her of her beauty. He couldn't help but looked down a little bit and smile. He didn't want to say that her blush made her even more attractive. He certainly didn't want her heart to give out. Besides, he had no idea if she was even his betrothed. And here he was, being flirtatious with someone who may belong to another. He couldn't deny it, though. Maggie intrigued him. Especially when she said she hadn't left her Kingdom.

"Really?" he said in intrigue. "Yes, the mountains are lovely, but the sea must surely be breathtaking. I've never swam before, and I very rarely leave the mountain." He was about to state that his flying was an exception, but he decided to leave that be for now.

Then the man, he assumed from the Earth Kingdom, spoke of a festival, and he withheld a groan. Festivals...he rather disliked them. All the loud noises and lack of personal space...it was quite obnoxious. But Maggie seemed to look forward to it. He also wanted to know what the pairings were, and he hoped that this gentleman would fill them in.

♔ ❝Ura Imasu❞

♔ ♕♚ ♛♔ ♕♚ ♛♔ ♕♚ ♛♔ ♕♚ ♛ aka Lord of the Fire Kingdom

_____________________________❝Listen when I speak❞




Ura, Imasu as he prefered to be called, was standing in the room he'd be residing in at the Earth Kingdom. The vampire stared out the window into the forest. It was beautiful, full of animals he wouldn't mind sinking his fangs into. He knew better, however. Sweat beaded his forehead and the vampire took deep breaths to calm himself. No, it wasn't the predator in him trying to take over. He was hungry. Imasu hadn't eaten for the entire trip. He had nowhere to store blood without it leaking, and he had been told not to hunt in other kingdoms.

Long ears raised just slightly as he picked up on others entering the castle. Maybe one of them would offer him some blood when they saw his condition. The vampire chuckled, a small joke to himself and one that he needed. He knew what was going to happen next. The longer it took for him to feed the more likely it was that the predator inside of him was going to take over. First his fangs would grow as if ready to feed, and then instinctively he would begin to choose a target. He would blend in and spend as much time as he needed to to plan how to capture that target and then sink his fangs into said target. Some of the servents had tried offering him water, but that was just not going to cut it.

Deciding that it was time to go downstairs and meet who was there Imasu left his room. He closed the door behind him and went down the hall to the staircase. From the top of the staircase he could see the beings that were already here. One was from the Water Kingdom. She was easy to identify. There were two from the Earth Kingdom, also easy to identify. There was another, though Imasu wasn't sure where the black winged creature was from. The Air Kingdom perhaps?

Imasu made his way down the stairs quietly. He used his hand to clean the sweat from his head and he fixed his breathing. The vampire was dressed for the occasion, but still had a little bit of armor on like his spiked shoulder piece. That was how he preferred to dress to any event in case of emergency. There was no telling when something would go wrong, or when someone would crash the party.

Once he was at the bottom of the staircase he tuned in to what was going on. From what he understood they were waiting for a carriage to pick them up and take them to the festival where they would be spending their time together for a little while. Due to his condition Imasu hadn't had a chance to see what was there while he was passing by, and that was probably a good thing. After fixing his cape Imasu went to wait by the door, leaning against the wall and eavesdropping on the coversations to see if he could get any relevent information out of anyone. He wasn't much of a talker but that was due to his training. He could, however, be casual like everyone else was being.

Imasu had to admit he was just slightly surprised. He figured there'd be more anger in the air but what he sensed was comfort. Were they all just all right with being wed to someone that they did not know? He wasn't.
