Fear and Loathing A Tales of Symphonia RP A thousand years before the Chosen known as Colette, the rain falls from a sky heavy with rainclouds. It drenches the land and casts a gloomy shadow on everything. A clap of thunder splits the monotonus sound of rainfall, having been preceded by a bolt of lightning.
Atop a futuristic complex stands a woman whose hair is slick with water, sticking to her lean cheeks and plastered down her back, covered by a worn leather cloak. This woman is a Half-elf of a high position, standing alone against the storm.
Lonliness engulfs the complex now, standing high atop a small village nestled in the trees. To this woman, there is nothing in her life at this moment. Strapped to her waist is a rapier engraved with the words "Amor est vitae essentia", meaning "Love is the essence of life".
For there is no love in this building. This is a place where humans suffer and die, for Half-elves care not about them. This Ranch is home to a hero of Half-elves, and this woman his second in command.
But this hero is not here.
None of these famed Cardinals are in their homes, for a menacing force has been bestowed upon them.
The Cardinals have been kidnapped.

Capricorn sat at her desk, chilled, half empty glass of liquor to her right. She had her hands on her head, and was staring blankly down at the surface in front of her.
It had been only a few hours since it was discovered that Forcystus, and indeed all of the Grand Cardinals were missing. Presumably kidnapped, for Lord Yggdrasill himself knew nothing of any meeting or plans for them.
A soft nudge aroused the Half-elf from her thoughts, and looking down, she discovered it to be none other than Anzul, her faithful companion. His golden eyes were filled with a sad, forlorn look, obviously saddened by the absence of his favorite person in the ranch.
"We'll find him..." she growled, shaking her head, "Sooner or later..."

((*spaz* Okay, here goes! :3))
Shem breathed deeply and knocked on Capricorn's door. "Excuse me... Lady Capricorn? May I come in and speak with you for a moment?" she asked in a voice much squeakier than she had hoped. In truth, she was nearly terrified. Not because Capricorn herself was scary, but the current situation had her highly-strung, and now was not the best of times for her to be speaking with someone who demanded as much respect as second in command. She had come to ask about what her orders should be, considering Lord Forcystus was missing. She had spent the past hour or so trying to keep the other Desians she worked with calm, and the ranch running smoothly. It had taken a lot out of her, but everything was under control.

"Yeah, sure." she replied wearily, quickly downing the last of the alcohol in her glass. She had given up drinking months ago, but the sudden disappearance of Forcystus had her dragging out several bottles of vodka and whiskey.
"Come on in."

Shem slowly opened the door and walked in. She noticed the smell of alcohol tainting the air, but said nothing of it. "Um, Lady Capricorn, I was wondering if you had any additional orders for me, considering Forcystus is... missing now." She had a lot of respect for Forcystus, as he was an excellent leader. Not that she had much personal interaction with him, though, but she also knew that he and Capricorn were very close friends. Really, she was worried about her.

Capricorn looked up momentarily, before sighing, giving in, and pulling out a bottle of whiskey. She filled her glass, took a sip, and then replied.
"You're Shem, am I correct?" she asked, placing down her glass. Not waiting for a reply, she continued.
"I would like it if you would continue what I've heard you doing; keeping everyone calm and under control. I'd also like it if you'd head to the stables and ready a dragon for me in a little while. No, not right now, just... I'll need to go for a ride later."
Anzul trotted over to the girl, sniffing tenetively before rubbing up against her leg, much like a cat.
"Don't mind him, he just misses Forcystus." she said, smiling weakly at the little beast, "He'll usually sit on his lap for hours just to be pet and stroked..."
She sighed again, pushing back from her desk and rising. The fact that she was referring to Forcystus in a very informal way to a lower-ranked Desian didn't bother her at the moment- in fact, it was a bit relieving.
<She has a strong will, this one.> Anzul murmured in Capricorn's head.
'Good. Perhaps she can help us... sometime down the road.'

Shem hesitated slightly before stroking the top of Anzul's head a bit. She nodded. "I'll ready a dragon for you as soon as possible, m'lady. Is there anything you'd like me to do in the meantime?"

Capricorn paused, before deciding to strap her rapier to her belt.
"Ready a dragon for yourself, too." she added, downing the rest of her glass in one gulp, "You can come with me."
((BY THE WAAAAY. The dragon species I'd like to use would be like... four legged, horse sized, with a mane and tail. Because it makes it so cool. xD ))

((xD I think I can handle that.))
Shem was shocked. "Of course, but- Why me? Surely there are more capable--" she paused. "Um, nothing. I'll go ready the dragons now." I'd better keep my mouth shut, lest she changes her mind... She excused herself and walked out of the room, closing the door behind her.
Almost mindlessly, she quickly walked through the hallways of the ranch towards the stables that housed the dragons. She knew the layout of the ranch like the back of her hand; it had become a second home for her. Upon entering the stables, she greeted each of the dragons by name. Almost all her life she had been around these magnificent creatures, and knew what she was doing. She grabbed a box of grooming supplies, tack for Lady Capricorn's personal dragon, and tack for one of the others that she would ride, and got to work tacking them up to ride.

Capricorn smiled slightly at the girl. Stroking Anzul's head, she stepped out the door, motioning for him to stay behind.
"Just wait here, Anzul." she crooned softly, ruffling the fur on the nape of his neck. He let out a quiet thrumming noise, before the door slid shut behind her.
Adjusting her belt, she headed down the hallway, nodding at a few footsoldiers running past. She took her time, stopping only for a moment to gaze out at the rain pouring down from the sky, the red and orange hues showing through the layer of clouds. For a moment she ceased to hear the chaotic events about her, but quickly shook her head to return to normal.
Pushing open the door of the stable, she slipped in, breathing in deep the scent that always resided in here- not of rotting meat, like what the dragons were fed, but one that smelled of straw and of fresh rain.
