As the name states, The Forgotten Realm is a realm that was completely erased from the minds of the civilians that lived throughout the other twelve realms. The land of this realm was said to have been blessed by the gods, making it a highly scared place. Many used to come to the ruins on the holy ground to pray. This realm consists of a wide spread of snowy ground, high mountain peaks in the distance. Within a valley before the mountains lies the ruins of a forsaken castle surrounded in a thick forest. It is said that the forgotten souls of the past reside within the castle's corridors.
Note: To enter the Forgotten Realm, you must be able to know the lost Angelic hymn that was forgotten by most individuals. Only few remember the incantation into this realm.

Stepping out of the portal, Lucifer's feet landed on the snow-covered ground with a slight grunt escaping his lips. Stepping to the side, he stood upright in a formal position, ready to aid Elizabeth as she fell through the portal. He figure she would enjoy it here; peace and serenity filled the area... not a single living soul remained in this realm..

Elizabeth stepped through the other side of the portal, her foot catching her leg, she tripped. She let out a small scream as she fell. It was very cold in this realm, and snowy.

Just as he suspected. Outstretching an arm to catch the clumsay woman, Lucifer chuckled lightly under his breath. "Careful... it's cold." He warned her, removing his arm from her, allowing her to stand up. The snow beneath their feet had just recently fallen, though beneath the fresh layer, the snow was icy and packed down, making it easy to walk. "This way.." He said lowly, beginning to walk towards a palace in the distance, the rooftop and the eavestroughs covered in snow.

She looked around, amazed. She had been to every single realm, but this felt different. It felt peaceful.. empty even. She smiled at the man as if thanking him for catching her. She was quite cold, shivering even. Her feet would be frozen by the time they reached the castle. Liz followed alongside Lucifer not saying a word.

Yes, she did not say a word, but being a mercenary, serving women for multiple years.. bringing them places, protecting them and such, he knew them all too well.. he did have a wife afterall... He lowered his head as he walked, allowing his ebony hair to fall over his eyes, hiding any expression that he may have had, allowing a gentle sigh to pass his lips. His mood, however, seemed to have changed.. to more of a cold tone. "..Are you cold?" He asked, his tone seeming slightly rough.

Liz looked up at Lucifer. ' No, I'm quite alright.' She gave him a small smile and then lowered her head once more. He seemed annoyed, and she didn't want to feed his anger. Of course she had just lied, which might upset the mercenary more.

"Hmm.." He mumbled before speaking up. "The last time I had checked, I do believe heeled open-toed footwear was not too warm in the snow, yes?" He asked, his voice still cold. Both of his arms hung down at his side, but looked like he was ready to catch her. "Come on..." He said lowly, moving his hands a bit, tellingher to jump up onto his back. It was his job of course. If he was serving and pprotectiong someone, he better to a damn good job at it, especailly with the amount of money she was going to pay him. "I don't want you getting forst bitten...."

She looked over to the man's gesture. Liz stopped walking, centered herself behind the man, then triedjumping up onto his back. She was quite short.. and he was well, very tall. She couldn't really jump high enough to get onto his back. She blushed slightly. ' This is a little embarassing but, I can't quite reach your back. Would you mind bending down?' She asked him, quite politely. He seemed angry with her. From the way things were going, this wasn't going to be a pleasant journey.

Lucifer glanced back at her, a slight bit of a chuckle passing his lips. She was quite the proper woman. "...Sure thing.." He replied, kneeling to a lower position and before she could even try to jump onto his back, Cullen grabbed the back of her legs and lifted her onto his back. "You're going to have to hold on..." He said firmly, giving her a few seconds to position herself comfortably before releasing his hands from her thighs. "Lock your feet around my waist and your arms around my neck.. please, just don't choke me.." He said aloud. It wouldn't take them too long to get to the manor, at least Elizabeth would be warm inside...

Elizabeth let out a small gasp as she was roughly lifted onto his back. ' Th-thank you Lucifer...' She spoke while settling herself on his back. She locked her legs around him, and gently held around his neck not wanting to caus ethe man any harm. A small smile came upon her face, she was free... Finally away from her family. She looked at the nearby manor, and sighed. Not another castle... She thought to herself as she unknowingly rested her head on the back of the mercenary's head.

Oh.. but it wasn't any castle, it was far more then that. Lucifer chuckled inwardly as the princess rested her chin upon his head. Cute girl... He thought to himself, this incident reminding him of his younger daughter, Emily. The two often used to take walks in the forest or around an area with some kind of... body of water. She always liked water, just the sound of it relaxed her. The memories that filled his mind allowed a gentle, unheard sigh pass his lips. It was hard to say if he would ever get over that carless mistake he had made.. a sin you could say.
As the two approached the worn manor, a heavy gust of wind blew down into the eroaded stone path leading to the entrance of the castle, clearing the freshly fallen snow from the ice path. A set of footsteps were still visable, fresh ones to be precise.

Elizabeth looked up at the manor, if was enormous, much bigger than her own. She looked to the ground. Footsteps, are there others here? Her hands turned into fists as they layed around Lucifers neck. ' Where is this place?' She finally decided to ask.

"..The Forgotten Realm." He replied, feeling her cold hands against his skin. "Best be going inside, I don't want you to freeze on me, do I?" He said aloud with a gentle chuckle. His mood was... swinging again, shifting to another. As he stepped across the packed snow, the footsteps that lead to the manor seemed to be exactly the same size as his, resembling the same pattern. By the looks of it, he has been the only one here for a while.

She watched his feet. The tracks were the same. Why wasn't there anyone else here? ' Mhmm..' She replied. The Forgotten Realm...? She thought to herself. As they entered the castle she felt a chill down her spine, even colder than it already was. She climbed off of Lucifers back, and straightened out her dress. ' Thanks for carrying me.' She said in a less polite way then she had spoken before. She wasn't a perfect prim princess, she hated the pampering. She looked at the tall man. By the looks of it he probably thought she would get home sick, but who could miss her family?
