"High Priestess..." one of the younger priestesses called from behind her, drawing Veera from her thoughts. She turned and smiled welcomingly at the girl who managed a quick grin back.
"Yes?" she gave the girl an expectant, but every pacient look as she turned fully from the window.
"The royalty of the Earth Realm are to arrive here soon," she murmured, inclining her head. Veera nodded and fluttered her wings so that she was airborn.
"I will be there to greet them when they arrive, no need to remind me," she waved her hand dismissivly, "Would you please do me a favor, and see to it that there is a meal being prepared in the kitchen?"
"I doubt the chef's need reminding either," the girl giggled, "They've been looking forward to this for so long. But I will check on them as well."
"That's a good girl," Veera nodded, flying leisurly out the door. She made her way to the entry hall of the temple's main shrine, and waited there for their honored guests to begin arriving.

((Eh, I guess I'll voice the other Earth rulers for a bit, just for the sake of plot. >.>))
As Winggurdian pulled up next to the carriage as instruted, the window finally opened. A young man peered out of the window as the adviors in the background were shouting in glee. The young lad flashed Violet a "Worst-carriage-ride-ever!" fearful glance, and Violet had to stiffle a giggle.
"Where's Mom and Dad?" she asked curiously, not hearing them in the carriage talking with the advisors. They sounded like they were entertaining themselves as it was.
The boy rolled his eyes. "They're up at the front of the carriage, leaving me here with these crazy folk. Oh, and dad's nervous as heck, so if he looks at you all angry, he's in one of his nervous havocs again." the prince added, looking up at her. "Man, I wish I could've gone with you instead; would've been MUCH more fun! Did you get a nice view of the Eath Realm at sunset?" he asked curiously; the two got along pretty well.
Violet nodded with a small smile. "Yeah, it's always plesant when the weather is nice! So, learn any woman-wooing tricks?" Violet teased her brother, and he coughed quietly as to not attract attention.
"Let's put it this way for now; I learned more than I ever needed to know about women and......well, their times with them. I'll explain later." he sighed as his eyes nudged to the two psycho advisors. But before he could continue, the parents were back in the carriage. The King nodded curtly at her, but the Queen gave her a large smile.
"Ah, there you are, Violet! I was worried you'd get lost....oh! We're almost there, back in position for a bit if you could, Violet dear! You'll join us in a moment!" she said, before closing the curtain.
Violet nodded, and did as she was told. In truth, the carriage could only fit five at most, and both advisors, Queen, King, and Prince were needed, so this butted out the Princess. Good, she wasn't in the mood today anyways. They made it to the shrine entrance, and everyone Royal-wise got out of the carriage. Violet unboarded Winggurdian (which joined with the extra birds; only Violet was allowed to pilot him.), and joined the family group that went to the entrance of the shrine.

Mere days had passed since Faye had been magically dropped in what the old priestess called the Moon Realm, and she still wasn't anywhere close to understanding what had happened to her; everything about it made her head spin and her stomach ache.
At the moment Faye sat in the window seal of completely round window high up in the Moon Temple staring at the moon which never disappeared. At first she had loved that fact, but now after days of it, she wanted to see the sun. She sat up a little straighter when she saw the old priestess fly out a window below her. Seeing the flying woman made her remember she own set of wings that rested on her back, not that she could ever forget they were there, they left the feeling a hat on your head did.
'I guess I should go see what's going on. This place has been in such an uproar since I here.' She thought, slowly uncurling herself from the window seal, she made it out the door and down to the opening of the temple.
The temple was rather difficult for Faye to navigate alone, so it took her a few minutes and stopping different people to find the main doors. She spotted the old priestess when she got there, and walked up to her side.
"What's going on... Veera?" Faye asked, taking a moment to remember the woman's name.

((It's fine. I doubt anyone will actually want to play a king or queen anyways. I suppose you could make a profile for them if you wanted to though. And if you know anyone that would be willing to play the prince (or anyone willing to join this RP, for that matter) could you let them know about it?))
Veera smiled as Faye walked up, and gestured to the open gateway to the shrine, "We will be recieving company very soon," she explained, "The first of the four realms royal princes will be arriving...I did tell you about that, didn't I?" she mused, hoping she hadn't forgotten to explain to the girl her purpose for being here.
So much had been happening the last few days, and she had re-explained the legend to so many people, she simply couldn't remember if Faye was one of them. She glanced quickly back at the archway to see the royal ensemble was coming inside, and bowed respectfully, briefly prompting the former human girl to do the same with her eyes, though she wasn't sure if the girl got the hint. It didn't matter much if she didn't, the priestess reasoned. The royal families were here for her anyways.

((I'll wait and see if anyone else wants King and Queen before I even think about making profiles for them. xd As for the Prince, I'll look around and see if anyone is interested.))
The King quickly gave some orders to the Earth guard in charge of those waiting outside, before he followed the rest of the foursome family down the path to the front of the holy shrine of Moon Realm.
Violet looked about in interest as they entered the shrine, her book now in a shoulder bag that she carried; this was her first time in years since she had left her peaceful homeland. The Priestess up ahead had the look and figure of a kind gentle lady. However, before thinking farther on about her, Violet saw another figure that caught her interest. It was a young lady, timid looking, long beautiful hair that accented her eyes nicely. She looked lost (for the woman was trying to cue her in at the bow), scared, as if this place was foregin to her.........wait, was that the Fairy of Gold?! That would make sense; rumor had it she was once human. Well, at least this gold lady didn't seem like a total snob like the others, but they'd find out soon at dinner, Violet guessed. Who knows; perhaps she'd make a friend, as childish as it sounded.
At a glance, she could see that her brother saw her as well, and......aw, was he blushing, his eyes sparkling a bit? She could tell that he hid it and quickly, back to professional look. Good timing too, for now her parents were looking at them both for signal, before they all bowed in return and in unison at the Priestess and Fairy of Gold.
"Thank you for inviting us here to your Kingdom; we are all most honored to see you both, as well as your Kingdom safe and sound." The Queen responded, usually being the spokesperson for them all, for she had the most bubbly of characters.....once formalities were out of the way.

((Ok))
Veera nodded, "And we are most happy to have you here in our humble home. I and the all others of the Moon Realm welcome you," she smiled kindly at the prince and princess and then their parents, "Dinner will be served in a half hour or so. I will see to it that your belongings make is safely to your quarters. In the meantime, why don't you make yourselves comfortable out in the garden," she motioned toward some glass doorways to the side, beyond which lay a carefully kept garden with tiny flowers (though they were still bush size to fairies) arranged in a path, along with some more fairy size plants (think bonsai trees and such).
"I will be joining you in a moment," she continued, "But there are some minor things I must attend to first. Faye, you may join them if you wish, or you can come with, but it is up to you," she nodded to their guests, and went into another room behind the alter in the front of the shrine.

Faye watched in fascination at the arrival of the new group of important looking fairies. She was surprised when she heard that the some of the royals would be arriving soon, and was even more surprised when she realized that it was the ones in front of her.
She nodded her head gently when Veera spoke to her, and began to walk out to the garden without a word to the royal fairies behind her. She just didn't know what to say, she had never spoken to royalty before. She stopped when she though that walking away was probably ruder than anything she could have ever said.
Quickly she turn around and looked back at the group and said, "Hi, my name's Faye Bellamont. It's nice to meet you."

The four all mentioned their thanks, as ones of politeness would, before heading out into the garden, following Faye. Obviously, with new plants and stuff to explore, Violet was immediately intrigued, although it was obvious that her brother's mind was in a different direction, back at the lady.
As this spoken lady (who looked quite nervous as it was), suddenly turned around and introduced herself, this confirmed Violet's guess of that she wasn't a snob; she was just as nervous as the devil! But who could blame her; the family must've seemed so intimidating to her!
The Queen was the one to start off the introductions as they all greeted her together first. "Ah, it is a honor to meet you, Faye! Let's see; we're out of formalities for now, so let's finally relax a bit, and I'll introuduce the rest to you. I can assure you we don't bite!" she joked, seeing the girl nervous, as they all sat about the plants.
"This is my husband who is ruler of the Earth realm, but just call him Eric. We go insane if we go by too many courtous formalities in normal enviroments." she said, and the nervous man finally gave a hearty, relieved laugh. "As you can see, he doesn't do well with it." she added to the young girl in a playful whisper, and Violet and Evan nodded in agreement.
"Ah, I'm the Queen, but just call me Miranda. This is our daughter, Princess Violet, and here is our son, Prince Evan." she said next. Evan waved hello with an added "It's a pleasure to meet you!", while Violet smiled warmly and waved. Quiet one was the Violet.
"We'll leave you three some room; come now, Eric! Let's explore the garden!"
The Queen and King decided to wander about and give the kids some room, Violet already taking sketch of a plant she'd yet to see back in her homeland. There was already a blank part of her notebook titled "Moon Realm Plants and Animals", and she was starting on a pretty sideways-shaped tree ((aka a bonsai tree.)).
Evan took a seat next to the young fairy Faye, mentally thankful yet nervous now that Violet was giving them some space. He cleared this throat, keeping blush out of his face. But she was just so pretty....
"Hello, lady Faye. As mentioned before, I'm Evan. So, what do you think of the Moon Kingdom? Haven't been here too many times myself, but it sure is a mystical place, isn't it?" he asked nervously, tyring to start conversation.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Aren't you glad we came on time now, dear? I told you that if we left tomorrow, we'd be beyond late!" The queen teased her husband jokingly, now that things were more on the normal side for now, away from the kids.
"Yes, quite true. Especially how long it takes you to pack!" the man retorted back, his nervousness gone at the moment and back to his jolly self. She laughed and poked him playfully, before silence ensured them both for a moment.
"...Is something still troubling you, dear?" the King asked, for the wife was now spacing out a bit with a saddened look on her face. She came back to reality and spoke quickly.
"Hm? No, no, not at all! We got here on time, so that our little prince will have plenty of time to get to know this Faye girl! But.." she paused and looked back at the girl sitting by herself by the strange plant, sketching away, listening to her brother speak from another plant. "......I'm still worried about Violet. She's been too quiet, even back at home. She doesn't even play with the other children at home."
"It's because of that one meeting awhile back you told me about, isn't it? But that was so long ago!"
"Yeah, but I think that scarred her for life; I was there to take her home personly that day, and she didn't say a word to anyone after that. I don't want her to bug her brother when he's Fairy of Gold (and I doubt highly she would anyways), but........at the same time, maybe the two girls should get to know each other. I-I mean, just a thought..considering that they've no offense against each other yet..." she paused with a shrug, and the King put a comforting hand on her shoulder.
"I'm just worrying too much.....I doubt that Evan ((temp name here; can change. Just can't use prince over and over. xd )) will have any issues getting along with anyone (especially The Fairy of Gold), being a people-person and all. But Violet is much too shy, and she needs to open up to let her scars heal. My job as a mother to worry." she grinned half-heartly.
"She'll heal in time, Miranda. Whether with this girl or another fairy or sprite, she'll find a friend that she can trust that's not made of feathers."

Veera chuckled to herself before walking into the room. Faye was such a sweet girl. She sat down at her desk in the room that served as her office, and scanned over a letter placed in its center.
"You know, I don't really care if this works or not, but I thought I might voice my doubts," Koreck muttered, stepping out of the shadows, "I'm not sure I want it to work either."
She raised an eyebrow at him and shook her head, "I suppose that's to be expected from you. What did you need to speak to me about?"
"I thought you asked me to get this for you," he sighed, placing a vile of clear liquid on her desk. She looked at it in puzzlment for a moment before realization dawned on her.
"Ah yes. Thank you Koreck. This will come in handy," she nodded, putting it in a drawyer.
"Dare I ask what it's for?" he smirked. She glared at him.
"I don't pay you to question me," she snipped, starting to walk back out the door. He shrugged and nodded. Veera sighed tiredly as she stepped back out into the main shrine. She went to the garden doors, and looked outside to see Faye and the prince and princess of the Earth Realm were already seeming to get along fairly well. Or at least she hoped so. Oh how she hoped Koreck wouldn't try to mess anything up. That was the last thing she needed.
((It's fine, don't worry. Hopefully someone will play him soon, so you don't have to anymore. But so far we haven't gotten any new people))

(( A'ight, I'm going to try and catch my footing on this already moving story. Correct me if I get anything wrong, and sorry for the short first post. ))
Elc formed his preferred appearance in a small stirring of wind inside of the garden. At first he was leaning against a tree, but when he saw the Earth Realm King and Queen, he immediately straightened and bent at the waist slightly.
"Good evening, King Eric, Queen Miranda," he said formally, a small smile the only thing visible of his face beneath the wide brimmed hat he wore. He straightened again. "I came to give my regards to the Lady of Gold. I didn't expect any of the royalty to have arrived yet."

Both the King and Queen looked curiously, not frightenly, to the sound of the noise. "Ah, good evening, Elc!" Miranda greeted him, moving closer to him for the sake of not shouting across the garden. Eric followed suit.
"Yeah, we came here early because there's talk of some heavy storms tomorrow. Not life threatening in any way, but instead would interefere with our travels and make us horribly late!" she answered.
"If you're looking for the Lady of Gold, she's over there with Violet and Evan." the King added.
"So, how have you been, Elc? Haven't seen you in awhile." the Queen asked him.

The formalities dropped, the Oracle stood a little easier and said, "Oh, pretty good. I took a little vacation in the Bahamas. Great place, Bahama." He winked at the King. "They're rather informally dressed on some of the beaches there, if you catch my drift.
"And you, Lady and Lord? Personally, how have you been? Not the political woes; we'll hear enough about that later, I should think."

Above the other fairies the royal family of the Fire Realm were just arriving. Two flaming orbs were whirling through the air above, looping around each other as if in a contest of who could do the best aerobatics. In actuality it was the Fire Realm's prince and princess, trying to show off and out shine each other as the normally do.
As Cain neared the Moon Realm's temple he dropped out of the form of a fireball and arched backwards, falling with his wings pulled in upside down toward the ground for a moment, and then he flipped himself in the air to land on his feet in the garden. "Forgive my entrance, I was racing with my sister," He apologized in a surprisingly soft but rough voice as he bowed. "I'm Cain, prince of the Fire Realm." She introduced himself, bowing again just for good measure.

Faye looked at the boy next to her, silently deciding what she should say. Evan may have not been to the Moon Kingdom very much, but it was sure more than she had ever been.
"It's very pretty, but I don't have much to compare it too. After all Earth is the only other place I've been to." She answered, a sad smile covering her face. "I'm sure the other kingdoms are just as beautiful as this one."
She let out a scream and jumped up to her feet when the man fell out of the sky, and stared with wide eyes through his introduction. With his second bow, she began to calm down, and sighed. 'God, what is with this place?' She asked herself, trying to even out her breathing.
"I'm Faye Bellamont. It's a pleasure to meet you Prince Cain." Faye greeted with a small bow of her own.
