The high crowned prince of the south-eastern faction of the seventh ring of the Geiseilian hierarchy had proceeded to cease communications between his skin and the bubbles. It was one of the rare times Eilender ever found himself alone. The boy of only nineteen years of age had somehow come upon the power of the kingdom and being the center of an aristocratic universe. It seemed he was never quite as alone as he wanted to be, save for this haven of marble and steam that served as his escape to everything.
At the moment he had just risen from his bath, slipping on a sleek emerald bath robe and slippers as he made to hide his naked body. He was a prince after all, and it would be a scandal if anyone happened upon him in that way, even in his own bathroom. The prince adjusted the soft substance against his skin and began out, but found himself sitting down rather abruptly as a dizziness overcame him. Apparently he wasn't going to dress and present himself to the court - but taking a nap as he grasped the edging of a day bed and sunk into it, the world fading to black as stars scattered his vision and he proceeded to faint elegantly into it.

The spirits in charge of assignments weren't entirely sure if they thought it very good that he could faint gracefully or thought it was completely gay. Either way, they drew him away from the plane he was on and into their own. His soul was sent to another dimension to bond with.......that was odd, ANOTHER unidentified spirit? This definitely wasn't one of the gods so how and why did it get there? Oh well, time to bond it, the spirit seeming to like taking the relic shape of a small bell on a leather cord around his neck. Luckily, the bell didn't actually ring unless it was trying to get his attention so he was safe from it causing him too much trouble.
His body had been placed on the small cruiser belonging to Cami and when his soul was returned to it, the prince was able to wake up and be greeted by the bizarre bellhop. Oh great, here we go again.

Blue-green eyes woke to what had to be the strangest council-woman he'd ever seen. Was she new?! Why hadn't he been asked approval of this matter?! For that matter...The boy sat up, quickly realizing his error in that this was not his castle, this woman was not a council member come to assist him, and that this was most certainly not any sort of thing he'd ever seen. What the hell?! To make matters even stranger, he seemed to have gotten a new piece of jewelry... He made to tug it off to find it wasn't going anywhere fast, leaving him to merely paw at it as he brought his knees to his chest and pulled his robe tighter around him.
He hadn't been harmed yet, so he gathered this might not yet be a hostile matter and decided to play diplomacy. "My name is Eilender, Prince of the seventh circle and ruler of Geiseilia - what is it you require so urgent so as to summon me in this manner?"

"Well I personally didn't do any summoning. The spirits who do assignments kinda dragged you here so I could inform you of what the necklace you're wearing is." Cami explained cheerily, "Nice to meet you, Prince. Though I thought he was a singer, oh well."

The boy shook his head, not getting the reference. Singer? Well he did in his spare time but...he was getting off track. Spirits had done this? A solemn look played upon his features as he contemplated it aloud, "Why would the spirits take me in this way? Are they displeased with me and seek council?" The comment about the necklace struck him as a puzzlement and as she had said it was her duty to inform him of what it was, he held it up and looked it over critically. "It's a bell. The spirits are putting a bell on me? What is that even supposed to signify?"

"Oh! I forgot! The notes said spirits where you come from are different from the ones where we come from. My bad." the girl said hastily, "These ones are just special beings employed by high ranking forces that govern the galaxy I come from, they are not at all related to yours. These ones were just on orders to bring you here and bond your soul with that of one of our deceased deities so as to aid in bringing them back."

Oh was that all? Well then, he could live with tha-...What the hell?!! Eilender shook his head a little, realizing that his soul had essentially been grafted to something strange and alien that would probably be considered enough to spark the council into even tighter security. "Ohnononono...I can't, I mean, I will but I can't, you see! The white stag could take serious offense to bringing such a thing into his holy realm and...and..."
The boy was cut off as said stag found it necessary to intervene. He had been listening and observing the entirety of the incident and felt he needed some say in this. After all, it was now bonded to him as well, and he was not entirely sure if he should be offended or not! Eilender's form proceeded to fade into the presence of the large spirit as he emerged from his catalyst to confront this woman. He looked down at her, ears perked inquisitively as that gaze then wandered to the bell. "What manner of creature has taken claim upon what we are? I am the say of what becomes living in our world. What right does this being have?"

"Um.........foreign goddess I think. I don't quite know how or why certain individuals are picked for the caring of the deities from our realm but they need to be raised somewhere other than in Tison since it is dangerous for them there and you were selected as a good parent for this child, it seems. Is that what you are asking?"

Good parent? The stag was the father of all life that ever was or would be on Geiseilia. He had raised countless generations and kept the most delicate balance at bay, holding the scales of existence in his antlers...
Of COURSE he was a good parent!
Still, the stag was prone to pride, and at the mention that his skill had transcended into the realm of another world caused his chest to swell. Of course he was a good parent...it was Eilender that was the matter. But bah, that could be fixed! After all, he had just then decided he'd planned the entire matter as well as he had mapped the stars, and happily strode around the woman before making to sound the bell. It was silent, but in his mind that was fine, and he was well swept up in the idea of being gifted with the seed of new life from someone else for a change.
"Her name shall be Belle and she shall be as my own daughter. You have my honor to hold to that Miss..." he inclined his head a bit. "I don't believe I caught your name."

"Cami...well, Cami, I thank you for this gift...but I must depart." The stag knew better than to retain his form for too long, lest the Prince he inhabited begin to suspect he'd more than simply fainted or spaced out. He leaned his head down to her level and licked her head before the white deer dissipated and Eilender was left in his stead.
The boy was clearly confused, dazed as he shook his head to clear the fog and see where he was now. As it appeared he was still on the ship he contributed it to perhaps a change in atmospheric pressure and went on with what they had been talking about as though nothing had happened. "I don't know if the white stag will approve of this...but it seems I have little choice, as the necklace won't" He tugged again to no use, "come off. I suppose I do have some duty to foster the poor thing though...I cannot simply condemn it to die, after all."

The purple female would have made a comment about the stag seeming to be perfectly fine with it a few minutes ago but decided to just go with the flow and show the Prince how to get 'home' or as close to it as she could get him. "K, go stand on the floaty metal plate if you will. Then close your eyes and count to ten."

Eilender nodded and did as bidden, stepping onto the metal plate, he closed his eyes and began to count to ten in Geiseilian. He didn't know what was going to happen but knew better than to argue with someone powerful enough to yank you out of your own bathroom. Hopefully this would end in him waking up in his own bed, with or without the bell suiting him equally as well.
