Cecile walked through the castle of Entrada, her heels echoed around the walls. Her hands were holding a tray of food in front of her as her gold cat-like eyes never strayed from the view ahead of her. Her long silver hair hung down to her waist but didn't dare to fall in her face to get in the way of her vision. She spotted the king's door and she balanced the tray on one hand as her other hand knocked on his door. "King Lupin! Are you awake?" she asked as she patiently waited for his answer.
Caroline was walking out of her room after quickly getting dressed. Her pink hair was curled and her pure white wings were gracefully wrapped around her. She always wandered around the castle though there were always a few places her family tried to keep her away from. She wondered if any of her family was awake at the moment, but she doubted it. She was always an early riser. She passed by a few servants and she smiled a greeting to them or would occasionally say good morning. She never really treated servants like servants. To her, everyone was equal.
Wanderer was packing up her things back into her bag as she was getting ready for another day of traveling. She was heading off to Aral today and she knew she would be getting there soon. She didn't know if she could find the weapons here, but she hoped she could at least find the prince and kill the kidnappers who took him away. She knew the poor queen of Litari might not last much longer. Which meant she couldn't waste a single second. Rikki woke up when he heard Wanderer moving around and then he scurried up her shoulder, completely excited to be moving again. He hated sitting still.

Ace found the library and slowly walked in. It was pretty elegant for a small town. He looked around then went into a section about legends. Maybe there'd be something about the weapons.
Lucida, fully dressed in her usual black dress, silently walked up to Wanderer, guards following her. She usually never left her castle, but Wanderer had always been a companian to her, almost like a daughter. "So you are leaving?" she said softly, feeling a twinge of sadness crawl through her soul.

Wanderer looked up at Lucida and smiled softly at her. "Yes, I am. But do not worry my queen. I always come back. You know that. I could never leave you for good." she said as she gently held one of the queen's hands in hers. Rikki seemed to nod his head in agreement as he scurried onto Lucida's shoulder and rubbed his head against her cheek. "And this time, I'll bring your son back. You can count on me. Just please, fight this depression before something horrible happens. You have to Lucida. Don't you want to see your son again?" she asked as she squeezed Lucida's hand reassuringly.

Lucida bit her lip as fresh tears covered her eyes at the thought of her son. It took about ten minutes for her to pull herself back together, then she looked back up at Wanderer and asked, "Which kingdom will you be journeying to?"

"Yes, you may enter," replied King Lupin softly as he rubbed the sleep from his eyes. It was only the maid again, whatever her name was. He sat on the edge of the bed with a hand gun lying next to him on the sheets and a small grin on his face as he stared at the assassin's body on the ground. "So what has the chef prepared today?" he mused.
Yatz sat behind a pillar, crouched down and giggling like a drunk. "This is going to be fun!" she thought as her baby sister was approaching. About ten animal teddy bears were hidden around the corner and mornings were the best time for pranking. "Oh no! It's a stampede!" shouted Yatz as her violet eyes glowed and the toys came to life and soon charged.
Boris panicked as he followed the prince. Where did Prince Ace think he was going? What if he was assassinated? Didn't he know how much was at stake if he died? "Breathe," muttered Boris in the form of a cat from a perch on a bookshelf. However, his nerves were getting the best of him once again. "Are you insane your highness?" he asked.

Aki rose her head at the hushed whispering from the legendry section. She closed her book- the cover written as 'Legend of the Weapons' Her ears twitched- as if they were trying to pick up the noise coming from that area.

Wanderer looked at the queen and sighed at the fresh tears. She then heard her question and gave her a small smile. "I have traveled everywhere but Aral and Fentrol. So I shall head out to Aral today in search of your son and any of the legendary weapons I can find." she said as she felt her heart twist in agony. She couldn't stand seeing the queen like this and she wanted more than anything to make her smile again. "Please Lucida, wish me luck. And promise me that you will be here when I return." she asked her quietly.
Caroline spotted the toys now charging at her and she snapped her fingers, trapping them into a ball of light. Her eyes then scanned the room until they landed on her sister. "Morning Yatz! Don't you think it's a little early to be playing pranks? Especially on me?" she asked with a light giggle.
Cecile walked in and set the tray on Lupin's lap. "It's just the usual delicacies and I made sure they were checked for any poisons. It took a few tries and a few deaths before they actually decided to play nice and make something that wouldn't kill you." she said emotionlessly. She spotted the dead body on the floor and she rolled her eyes as she drew a circle in the air, creating a black hole. She shoved the body through the hole and then sealed it before glaring at him. "Are you really too lazy to clean up your own bloody mess? I've told you time and time again. I will not have the blood of your victims on my hands." she said in her cold tone. She was never afraid to be blunt with anyone and even the king knew that.

Ace was reading a book titled 'Legendary Spells' when he heard his butler. He jumped and almost dropped the book when he saw the cat. "Boris, you've got to warn me when you shapeshift." the young prince hissed then smile. "And I'm just researching some stuff." he said then glanced at the book again, a devious smile on his face. "Here, let me try a spell." he muttered and held his arm out to his butler, the palm of his hand facing him. He muttered a spell with backfired and lit Boris' tail on fire. "Uh, whoops." Ace mumbled.
Lucida nodded numbly. "The Kingdom of Magic is ruled by a friend of mine, King Deaven." she mumbled and looked down. "He tried to tell my husband not to go to Entrada." she said and let out a small sob then looked back at Wanderer. "You have my blessing." she managed to say. "Tell the king that you know me and he should provide you a place to stay." she said, her voice breaking a few times.

Aki blinked a few times, not being able to get much of the conversation.

"But you do such a good job," he replied with a small smirk. He took a bite out of the buttered toast. Her name was supposed to be Casey right? "And your hands look perfectly clean Cecile," he tested out. Cecile sounded like it fit but you could never be too certain with these things.
Yatz appeared from behind the pillar with a frown. "No it's not!" she whined. "This is perfect training for me for when I... grow up!" Yatz corrected herself in time. Father and mother would be extremely angry if the shortie learned about the war. "So where you heading off too?" she asked quickly changing the subject.
"My beautiful tail!" yelped Boris before stuffing the tail into his mouth to out the fire. Something that wasn't a bright idea. "My mouth!" he cried out before changing into a raven and heading out the window. He was soon seen crashing into a bird bath with relief; a couple of pigeons laughed at him.

Aki watched the cat become a bird and fly out the window.
She chuckled softly and turned to the boy in the Legend second, "Is that your pet?" She asked- quirking an eyebrow.

The peasant boy turned around to the girl and smiled. "He's, er, he's a mystery, I'll leave it at that." he laughed then noticed her book. Legend of the Weapons?! "H-Hey! Can I see that?" Ace asked, eyeing the book.

Aki smiled lightly, "Isn't everything?" When he asked of the book, she nodded, "Uh, yeah. Here." She said simply, handing it to him.

Ace grabbed the book and started reading it like crazy. He skimmed through it and flipped a page every few seconds.

Wanderer looked at Lucida and only felt worse as she could tell it was hard for her queen to speak. "Thank you. But I'm not leaving until I hear you say you promise. I would be devastated to come back with your son and you not be here. Please, you have got to stay strong and fight this. For the kingdom. For your son." she said as she gently caressed Lucida's cheek before she quickly pulled away. "For me." she added softly.
Caroline smiled at Yatz as she continued walking. "I don't really know sister dear. I think I might head off to our library. There was this book I found that I haven't had the chance to read." she said as her eyes sparkled in curiosity.
Cecile turned to Lupin as she heard him speak and she rolled her eyes. "The blood of a murdered man sinks into your skin. It weighs on your mind and it never goes away. As long as there is guilt, you're hands will never be clean." she said as she looked at her hands for a moment. A bright grin spread across her face and she chuckled. "But luckily for me, I do not feel such a spineless emotion such as guilt. And you should feel lucky that you guessed right. Is it really that hard to remember my name? Because if so, then I just might have to find a way to help you remember." she said, her voice giving a hint of seduction.
