Name: Orion Eidean Age: 18 Occupation: Traveling merchant Personality: Orion is typically a nice dude. Although, he's a sarcastic a** and isn't very trusting of others. He doesn't like to show his real emotions and tends to hide them under a tough guy facade. Bio: Orion was abandoned at young age, due to his parents being poor and were not able to care for him. He was a street rat for several years, living by himself and stealing food just so he could survive. Life for him was bleak and difficult, and a hatred for the Royal Family began to seed. A family for merchants eventually saw him and decided to take him as their own. This family was kind and loving and taught Orion a lot about the occupation of being a lowly merchant. The pay wasn't much, but they survived and Orion no longer had to steal from venders. But even so, Orion's hatred for the Royal Family grew and well, so did he. His adoptive family died because of diseases and because they didn't have enough money to buy the expensive medicine that was required to cure them. Orion then began to take over the business as a merchant and then traveled around, selling his goods. The life he lived wasn't one that he dreamed of, however, it wasn't a terrible one and he made barely enough money to feed himself.
～Orion sighed as he stood in front of one of the many street stalls, waiting for the vender to be finished chatting nonchalantly with a friend before finally averting his attention to the customer at hand. In Orion's hand was a bag of fruits he wanted to buy from the vender. Without much dialogue, the two men finished the exchange, the vender giving the fruit to Orion and Orion giving the vender the appropriate amount of money. He then set off to his trusted horse, April, whom had strapped to her a cargo wagon, filled with various goods and merchandise. He patted April gently before reaching inside the bag of fruit to feed her an apple. The horse took it graciously and Orion smiled. The horse had belonged to his deceased adoptive family for many years and was a wonderful comrade. Orion turned his head towards the direction of the Royal Castle, looming above everything else, making all the other structures of the kingdom small and infinitesimal. With a scoff, he averted his gaze to his wagon. He made sure he had everything he needed in order to set off to travel the land once more. "Damn it," He cursed under his breath, realizing he was missing something. "I'll be right back, April," He said to the horse before setting off to the city once more.

Leonora's feet were on fire as she ran away from the castle and the surprising angry royal knights. She was grateful when she made her way from the streets of the city. 'I have to leave from here! I will not allow myself to be part of this life any longer!' Leonora spoke to herself, while she made sharp turns and zigzaged through the streets. Eventually, after many close-calls, the princess lost the knights along the way of her escape. She was tired and was more than a bit winded from the chase. Leonora tiredly tightened her crimson cloak's hood over her head, while she walked through the streets. "Everything is so different," she said with awe as she looked up at the various buildings and street stalls. However, her short-lived childish wonder was cut short with the sight of royal guards walking her way. She quickly spotted a unattended wagon and slipped into the wagon. She placed the sacks of potatoes on top of herself. Leonora waited patiently, and when she was about to come out of the pile of sacks, the wagon started to move again. 'Oh dear, this definitely can't be good.
～Orion returned to his wagon with a couple of old books in his hands. He threw them inside the wagon and then sat in the front seat, clutching the reins. "We should get going if we want to reach Hope by tomorrow morning," He spoke to April. "Hah!" He shouted, whipping the reins to get April moving. Obeying dutifully, April trotted along the dirt paths that led out of the city. Trees and scenic views passed by, views that Orion has seen plenty of times before. He knew the roads by heart, where they all led to and he knew the cities he has visited by heart, like what was their specialities and culture like. It was a weary job, being a traveling merchant.

Leonora was scared out of her wits, as she tried to keep still under the sacks of potatoes. 'Oh dear, how am I suppose to get myself out of this one? What if whoever is driving this wagon finds out about me? What if they try to sell me to the enemy nation? Or....I have to find a way out of here...' She tried to wiggle her way to the edge of the wagon.
～Orion continued to steer April towards the direction of the holy city, Hope. He was completely oblivious to the stowaway in his cargo wagon, not hearing the sounds coming from the wagon due to the noises of the wheels on the hard gravel. Every now and then, he would come across another travel, stranger or familiar face, and simply nod at them in acknowledgement. The travel to Hope was approximately nine hours, not including a lunch break or night stop. He wanted to get to the holy city early so he would have time to sell the new holy books he had before heading off the a neighboring blacksmith city.

'Come on! Just a little more,' Leonora wiggled about a bit too much as a sack of potatoes fell off of the wagon. 'Oh no!' She reached in failed attempt to catch the sack, only sit up and practically reveal herself to the entire world...or at least the surroundings around, which indicated that they were definitely no longer in 'The Sidhe' nor near the Royal Castle. They were mostly about 4 or 5 hours out from her home and now she had no idea where she was.
～Orion was calmly sitting on the seat nd steering his trusty horse towards Hope. He was silent and impassive as always, his surroundings being empty except for plant life. He eventually stopped April, once he felt they were several hours away from the kingdom, to rest. He pulled her over by a large tree with plenty of shade and got off to stretch. The silence was then interrupted by the sound of something hitting the hard earth. He looked towards the direction of the sound, spotting his sack of potatoes had somehow fallen off the wagon... Not only that, but a girl had revealed herself, hiding in his cargo wagon. Orion was confused at first, until he finally recognized the girl as the Princess Leonora Sterling, of the Royal Family. His dark blue eyes narrowed at her. "And what do you think you are doing?" He questioned the girl, forgetting all about courtesies and manners that was supposed to be given to the Royal Family. He didn't like the Royal Family, and finding of them hiding amongst his belongings didn't make him feel any better.

Leonora looked quickly at the merchant, and almost immediately felt the other's intense glaring. She had never meet a commoner before. That only made her more than a little nervous, especially when she did not know the common language of the commoners. "E-Eh well, I wanted to know the life was outside the castle, sir. Though my father definitely did not appear, so I had to out run all of those royal knights. I was out of the clear for a few minutes, but they were coming my way! So I saw what I thought was a vacant wagon with sacks of potatoes and hide there. Then you took off out of the kingdom, which is why I tried to sneak out of the wagon. But then the I accidentally k-knocked a sack of potatoes! And...and..." Leonora took a deep breath and bowed her head slightly to Orion. "I-I'm sorry for the potatoes, I'll do whatever you want or need to be done."
～Orion was actually quite surprised by the Princess' self-effacing demeanor. However, that did not pacify his ire for the presence of the girl or her reason for being there. "So, just because you saw a seemingly vacant cargo wagon, you think you can just stow away in another person's belongings without any thought of whom the wagon belongs to?" He inquired with impassion. "As per usual of the Royal Family... They just like to do whatever they please," He commented nonchalantly as he walked over to pick up the sack of potatoes and stuffing them back inside the wagon. He turned to look towards the Princess with an irritated sigh. "I don't care about the potatoes," He stated rather bluntly. "What I am more concerned about is what am I supposed to do with you?" They were several hours away from the Royal Palace and there was no way in hell he was going to waste those five hours just to travel back and deliver the Princess back to the Palace. It was such a waste of time and inconvenience to him.

"I-I was just looking for a quick hiding space, and I didn't think the wagon was going to move any time soon. I didn't want to go back to the Castle.....You know, this is actually the first time I did something I wanted to do. Even royalty has too many restrictions and rules upon themselves, especially for me since I am the princess. I was closed off from most things expect anything that I needed to learn and would be beneficial to our kingdom...However, from what I was able to learn from the servants, I hear that many of my future subjects are in distress, because of the hardships that have to go through." Leonora replied as she watched him placed the sack of potatoes back into the wagon. She frowned a bit in confusion by the other's words, as if he was practically speaking Greek to her. "I thought these potatoes were your means for living?...If you don't take me to the Castle, I will do whatever you say...I might be useful for you in one way or another..."
～Orion scoffed at the Princess' words. "Yeah, right. But you do nothing to help your people?" He countered with obvious disgust. He walked back to April and petted the horse gently, all the while keeping his eyes on the Princess. "Do you think I'm stupid?" He questioned. "Your father will come looking for you. And what do you think he'll do when His Majesty's knights has found me with his beloved daughter? Accuse me of kidnapping? Probably."
