 Over one hundred years ago the underground city, dubbed Oiche Baile, was found by Queen Reslin. Though it need of the time such a problem was quickly dealt with and soon Oiche Baile was used as a type of underground retreat for the people of Bellris, especially during times of catastrophe both natural and not. The underground reaches down several stories and is about 2 miles in all directions, it can only be accessed by two inner points of access and four outer points of access, the other points of which can be easily closed off by collapsible tunnels. Oiche Baile is made entirely out of stone can comfortably shelter 20,000 people including stables, cellars, storage rooms, ventilation shafts, and the bottom sections of the above ground silos. Oiche Baile is called the "Underground" because of the fact that it is underground, it is kept secret from outsiders and anyone that says anything about the underground city to outsiders are immediately labelled as a hostile threat, hunted down, killed, stripped of anything of Bellrisian origin, and thrown over the nearest boarder, the name that they once held is banned from use for any children born after the name is forbidden. Outsiders are not aloud into Oiche Baile without explicit permission from the royal family. Even now that Bellris is a republic this item remains solely in the control of the royal family, outsiders do not know about the existence of Oiche Baile. Those that want outsiders to be aloud into the Underground city must gain permission from one of the royal family before the outsiders are knocked out and brought to the city. Those that know about the city are: Hysteria Isadora Bellris Roland Leohearz Bellris Evelyn Aintia Lionis Bronzewell Sharla Esme Dial

Hysteria Izadora BellrisHair BraidsClothing: UndergroundMood: Cold Hysteria looked down at the city below her that was now alight with various shades of red, yellow, and orange lanterns that whispered and danced around the winding, uneven and ancient streets. A city of Darkness, carved and hidden in stone, a place of protection and strength, a last strong hold against war and cold, a haven of sorts. She closed her blue eyes and remembered her childhood, her first childhood, laughing and running around these tunnels with her blood born sister, not the one that this body was raised with, but her own... Kastara. Hysteria raised a hand to her chest and felt her heart beating. She wondered if she would still be alive today if she hadn't let go of her first body she had switched into. Probably not. Hysteria did not enjoy what she was about to do, but she wasn't going to fight with a knife at her back, an old fox knew old traps. Hysteria opened her eyes and moved her hand away from her chest...and a covetous man was good to no one, she hated that she was going to perhaps do something horrid, but in the end do a lot of good, but knowing this still didn't stop the sting that came in her abdomen, in her heart, in her throat, that stilled her tongue and turned her mind to stone. Hysteria closed her eyes yet again for a moment and remembered something else she was told before she walked into the underground castle and sat down on a dark throne carved from a strange slick, dark, oily substance that was stronger than any sword they had ever made...if they could mine whatever this throne was made out of they would, but that just made to wonder, what was strong enough to carve this? Hysteria shivered at the thought, some things were best left to the imagination, right now she was queen...she would act as a queen would, as a queen should. She had sent word to her brother to meet below ground...where the people now stayed for fear for the cold death waiting from above, she had told him it was important, and so she waited.

Evelyn Lionis════ Female // 20 // Mindset: Growling ════
Holder of the Bronzewell Estates
Trainer of the Bellris troop
Legitimate ruler of the Empire Evelyn breathed out hard from her nose, her arms crossed just below her chest as she shifted her weight to her left side causing her hip to push out slightly. She was not pleased with the armor she wore if it could be called that, clingy cloth that could hardly be considered leather though she knew it was very thin leather from the way is felt, but it made her feel exposed, had her paranoid. One wrong hit and she would be bleeding out and on her knees. Evelyn let her eyes trail over to the woman that she was acting as body guard to today "Why are you forcing me to stay up here?" she asked as she watched the woman as she walked over to the throne, Evelyn followed her and stood right behind her, ever the diligent shadow "Aren't you afraid that I will remember the layout of this place?" she asked from behind her, tapping a finger against her elbow, she was never a fan of meetings, but perhaps she should learn to deal with it, if she became Empress she would need to sit though dozens. ════ Love // Honor // Justice // Revenge
I will see the ones that I love smile down upon me
But I will not stain my honor with the blood of their killers
For Justice will make it so your enemies fall from up high
And Revenge will only make you the murder that stood behind them.

Company:: Hysteria and Evelyn Outfit:: Sir RolandFeeling:: Condition:: Healthy Location:: Currency:: 5000¢ EC Items:: DyrnwynOOC::  Prince Roland Leoharz Bellris He was a Knight of Bellris first and a councilman second. Roland had to make sure every foreign man, woman and child kept their blindfold on when the city migrated underground for shelter from the cold. Roland and the rest of the country's soldiers made sure the secret of Bellris was kept safe and kept only in the blood of the true children of his country. While the snow and harsh winds kept him from meddling outside in the world he was able to send a raven yesterday after his visit in Ethe to warn Sharla in Zalto of what he had learned in the meeting with Dixon, Youkimi and his newly acquainted friend, the charming wordsmith, Lady Chhatrapati. He explained that he chose to tell her because then Sharla could warn his princess Athena of the danger near her kingdom while also not letting on Roland was getting involved and thus putting more stress upon his lover's heart. He didn't want Athena worried about him but he knew he couldn't resist the call to action as well. Especially when good can come of the outcome. With preparation done Roland finally had the time to appear before his sister as she had requested but his eyes widened at the surprising sight of another woman being present and the attire she wore. With a slight blush aimed at Evelyn, Roland aims his crimson eyes to his sister and clears his throat before speaking. "The day's previsions for everyone are being handed out right now and no one seen how we entered the underground...So, there was something you wanted to speak to me about, sister?"

Hysteria Izadora BellrisHair BraidsClothing: UndergroundMood: Cold Hysterias eyes slid over to Evelyn and she smiled "Seeing the streets and walking them are to different things. The roads aren't made out like a grid here, they curl and twist and meet at strange ends, you would get lost and die of starvation before you were able to actually make anything of the information to gather from up here" she said as she reached out a hand to rest on the small of Evelyn's back. She felt the leathers that hugged her skin and started to move her hand up slowly, but then she heard her brothers footsteps and she pulled her hand away and looked at her brother. Hysteria smiled "I'm glad you could make it" she said as she folded her hands together "I would hope that you believe me when I say that for this last year you have had my complete trust. I have not had you followed, I have not monitored the mail you've sent or received, and I have left the family estate alone... However even without any of this I can assume you've still had contact with that b***h in Ethe, and I wonder if she has been poisoning my dearest brothers mind" she said sadly "I don't think my life or our bond as siblings means much to you anymore she said, avoiding his eyes for a moment before looking back at Roland "However, it means something to me and I believe that we shouldn't be having knives at each others back" she smiled, her eye lids lowering as she crossed her left leg over right "How would you like me to step down from my role as High Council woman? To leave the Republic to you?" she asked.

Legitimate ruler of the Empire Evelyn looked at Hysteria when she touched her and she raised an eyebrow, she didn't think that she swung that way. Shen then smiled, her eyes whispering that perhaps they would have some fun later. The small of her back feeling cold as the Queen moved her hand away. Evelyn then turned her head to look over at Roland, a small smirk coming to her face as she saw the slight red in his face and she winked at him, leaning forward slightly for the cut of the leathers between her chest to work, showing off one of her best physical assets. before she stood back up straight, surprised as what Hysteria said. ════ Love // Honor // Justice // Revenge

Company:: Hysteria and Evelyn Outfit:: Sir RolandFeeling:: Condition:: Healthy Location:: Currency:: 5000¢ EC Items:: DyrnwynOOC:: Prince Roland Leoharz Bellris With his helmet off it was easy to see where his eyes were focused on Evelyn's body but he had to try to control himself, keep focused, and keep things professional while shaking away the memory of an indecent Evelyn mounted on top of him. The outfit Evelyn had on made things damn hard (no pun intended) but the shock of his sister's words were quick to keep the prince with his eyes on the prize. "Hysteria... Sister...is something happening? Is there something wrong going on that I should know about? This all seems too sudden and without reason that it makes me worried for your heart." The knight stood where his sister could look him in the eye and the show of concern was very clear as he waited for an answer from the women he's lived with as a sister his whole life.

Hysteria Izadora BellrisHair BraidsClothing: UndergroundMood: Cold Hysteria thought about it for a moment before sighing "how to put this gently...and where to begin" she muttered before looking at her brother "I guess I should start with, Once upon a long time ago" she smirked slightly, "a little under sixty years ago Crown Princess Kastara and her little sister Shiphera were playing in one of the many rivers of the Delta. The queen at the time, Enthrallia , and her lover... an Ethen phoenix, and the children they begot were with them. However despite this Princess Shiphera fell into the river and then a coma." she paused for a moment to let it sink it "Before this incident, Shiphera was thought to be a late bloomer...but then she found her power. I found it" she said to him, her eyes hardening. This was where the history books differed from what she was about to say "For almost a month I lay trapped in my own body as my sister wept over me and then she gave me a kiss..." Hysteria brought a hand up to her lips and grazed them "Without my control my soul transferred from the body of the little drowned girl into the body of my older sister and I watched as my body died along with my older sister whos body I took."Hysteria uncrossed her legs "That body was not assassinated by Ethe Phoenix's as Enthrallia allowed everyone to believe, it was a simple accident made by a young child." She was looking at the ground for a moment as she took a breath "Years later I took another body, I watched as the Bellris family rose in strength and so quickly lost it, it was like watching the snow melt when thrown into a fire. As I watched I came across a little blonde haired girl" Hysteria brought her hand to her own blonde hair "She had died hours ago but no one seemed to notice, her body was already growing cold. This little blonde haired girl was the only hope to bringing the Bellris family back up from its decline since the second born...Theodora was looking to be a bit dim witted and the third born was male. I used my magic once more and became this blonde haired girl. Ever since then I have been pretending to me your sister... for a very long time... And." This was where Hysteria hesitated, but then she took a deep breath and said "Two years ago, that magic that let my soul transfer from one body to another for all these years was taken from me." she said to him "It was as if my hands were cut off. If this family falls again, we are finished. I have come to learn that perhaps its time that Bellris grew in another way and that I have a gift for you...if you are willing to adhere to certain conditions" she said, her eyelids lowing "Do you follow?" she asked him as she moved her fingers slightly to motion Evelyn forward slightly.

Evelyn Lionis════ Female // 20 // Mindset: Following Orders ════
Holder of the Bronzewell Estates
Trainer of the Bellris troop
Legitimate ruler of the Empire Evelyn closed her eyes as she listened to the former Queen speak, this was all news to her. Part of her didn't want to believe it but she kind of did, something never really sat right with her whenever she was around Hysteria, almost as if she was never right in her skin. Yet she did not bring it up. Instead when she opened her eyes once Hysteria finished speaking and saw that she motioned her forward Evelyn simply stepped forward obediently, her hand going to the sword at her hip. She understood this bit though, Hysteria had just revealed a lot of information that might sound a little crazy, Evelyn had been brought here for Hysteria's protection if things went south. ════ Love // Honor // Justice // Revenge
I will see the ones that I love smile down upon me
But I will not stain my honor with the blood of their killers
For Justice will make it so your enemies fall from up high
And Revenge will only make you the murder that stood behind them.

Company:: Hysteria and Evelyn Outfit:: Sir RolandFeeling:: Condition:: Healthy Location:: Currency:: 5000¢ EC Items:: DyrnwynOOC:: Prince Roland Leoharz Bellris Why was his sister trying to give him a history lesson, Roland first thought as he listened to what Hysteria had to say. But the more Hysteria explained the less sure Roland was in himself and what his life has truly been. What has his sister's life truly been? The blonde woman he knew as his sister his entire life was not the same person he knew as a young child. The trick question he planned to ask now meant nothing as the truth came freely flowing from this...impostor. The sister he knew and love died long ago without a single soul knowing this...but somehow Roland deep down always knew something was wrong. "This is all so much to take in..." The shock and stress was obvious but his next actions were unsure. His eyes were slightly brighter as his crimson gaze reflect flickering flames of the lanterns off his tears that wouldn't flow, and his hand balled into a fist with his sword's handle damn near the hand which grasp so tightly. Roland wanted to be sure what he was gonna do was right...and so he heaved a saddened sigh, his heart aching over the learned death of his true sister, before he would let his hand relax and straighten out his back strong and true. "I think I get it now...So what are the conditions you want to talk about?" Though he was sad and felt a mixture of emotions he wouldn't let them cloud his mind nor the future vision he has for his country and the people there in which he cares deeply about.

Hysteria Izadora BellrisHair BraidsClothing: UndergroundMood: Cold Hysteria grinned as she looked at her brother and then at Evelyn for just a moment before looking back at him once more "First condition, Salome will hold the title of head council woman when she comes of age, despite any daughters you may have. Despite my soul inhabiting this body Salome and Keiron are still your niece and nephew without question, and passing up on Salome will anger Antari to heights you would perhaps never imagine" she said as she gripped the throne she sat upon hard enough that her knuckles turned while "Secondly you will put the people of Bellris before any others. You will maintain this republic...or at least a pristine illusion of it once you step into my place. Thirdly, you will use my death to spur people toward a common goal" Hysteria's eyes narrowed "I would prefer you use it to the spread of the Republics Ideals... but what you do with it after I am out of the picture has nothing to do with me" she took a breath "Finally If you ever hear from me again and I request aid you will come at cost of you and your families station in this world" she said and paused "I have also made a deal with Lady Kai for Obsidian, Ash, and Iron. These three Items will be delivered down here into the underground as they arrive. I have lived to long to mince words, do we have an agreement?" she asked.

Company:: Citizenry on the streets Outfit:: Sir RolandFeeling:: Alright Condition:: Healthy Location:: Underground - Streets Currency:: 5000¢ EC Items:: DyrnwynOOC:: Prince Roland Leoharz Bellris No. They did not have an agreement. Yesterday was a lot for Roland to deal with and the weight placed on his heart was slightly lifted when he denied his sister's proposal to become head councilman of Bellris. Plans that were placed before yesterday still go as planned, Roland had no arguments there, but there were certain conditions he just couldn't fully agree on... Today, however, the roaring above the underground had been worrying the civilians so Roland took the time to see the people and ensure them nothing is wrong; Even if he wasn't completely sure that was true. Maybe the smiling citizens around him could help him forget for a moment that his sister is not truly his sister...or how Evelyn looked in her outfit yesterday and how it got a blush out of this prince who was spoken for.

Hysteria Izadora BellrisHair BraidsClothing: UndergroundMood: Pissed off but delighted A personal door to the outside would open just long enough to allow Hysteria and a few others back into the underground, she was dressed the same as she had been the last day but now parts of her dress seemed to be frozen in places and perhaps a little red in tint. Her skin was cold to the touch and ever since Roland's refusal to agree with even one part of her plan she had been ignoring him ferverantly. Her metal claws had been extended and were covered with blood and her face was unreadable until she made it to the main balcony that over looked the underground city. Her very presence demanded the attention of those around her and a gong began sounding though the underground city until it had a majority of the peoples attention. Hysteria then coughed loudly before finally saying "Good people of Bellris!" she shouted, several people echoing her to make sure her words reached those far below "The storm still rages on, but our food stores remain. Even if this storm was to continue the rest of this winter we will be able to fell the horrible fate that has frozen our fields" she paused and let the words relay though the people "We are Bellris, we will always be able to rebuild as we always have done, ever since Bellris herself took it upon her being to take the barren northern lands and make them the most prosperous of Epsilon" She leaned forward and put a hand on the balcony ledge "However once this storm of Ice wanes we shall have a storm of fire to contend with" she said and the words again were relayed, causing murmurs to echo though the people gathered "The Drosselmeyer family, The so called Emperors of Epsilon have unceremoniously declared war upon us by burning down the villages closest to the capital. We know this as early this morning after a very long and tiresome tribulation..." Hysteria raised a hand, despite only few being close enough to see the blood on her fingers "General Kerseus The Stormbreather now lays dead upon the ice and ashes of the village he destroyed! Once this storm ends however news of this will travel across Epsilon, but let it be known that Drosselmeyer attempted to strike the first blow, but that Bellris stood and struck faster!" she slammed her hand down on the railing of the balcony, raising her voice over the people continuing to relay her words "By the time the storm above ends Bellris will rise from below ready for war with this Empire we split from, both as rebuke for the action they have taken and for the protection of Bellris and its people." she raised her head "We will raise the flag of Bellris above the head of Drosselmeyer and show them that we do not begin our growth by being cut from anothers branch... but we begin in the ground as seed we plant under foot and that no matter what they do we shall always be stronger because unlike those that would destroy us, we have roots that can not be reached by the fire they would bring" she said. A roar of the people would come from below just as Hysteria turned her back on them and she would walk back inside and she would look over at her brother "Despite your refusal of my proposition yesterday, perhaps the allure of war and glory would persuade you to fight for Bellris?" Hysteria said, practically cooing at him. Now that she had told him that she was only a soul using his sisters body she no longer attempted to act like Hysteria around him as she crossed one leg over the other under her dress and lowered her eyelids "Do you once more want to hold a sword in your hand that isnt attached to your body? now that she was showing her true colors to Roland it was almost like an animal that only she held the reigns of was crawling under her skin.
