The Dark Prince: "M-mmor-MORTAL??? How dare you address me out of rank! I am no mortal, indeed! I have been here before the creation of all worlds! I used to be the highest Ark Angel in the King's army, but I decided that it was time to take up my own army and take command! I will prove one day that I am unarguably greater than the King! Now you be careful, Ziklag, or you may end up lying motionless on the ground."



The Prince: "What you do not realize, Michael, is that my 'nice' world, as you call it, is where you live. It is where all truly live, whether they realize it or not. This world is what you may call your spirit, your conscience, and your mind. Although you may not truly be able to see it now, you live here with everyone else, and you will eventually end up in the Shining City or the Light-bearing City. However, the choice is yours. Now I bid you adieu."

Gloria and Victoria: *gasp* "Do you mean that you are to duel with Lars?!"

Me: *shakes head* "Could this thread get anymore chaotic?"

Me: "Better not ask..."

Julliana: "You can't duel Lars yet! He still needs to answer Victoria's and my questions! That just isn't fair."

Victoria: "I keep telling you, life isn't fair, Julliana, but you keep insisting that you will try to make it as much more so as you can..."

Julliana: "I'm just trying to make the world a better place."

Me: "Oi, I missed a ton."

Shawn: "He does..."

Me: "Yeah, bad time to do something mindless."

Jay: "It's no help that you don't know what is going on. Can I get a summary?"

Me: "Blame me."

Jay: "Will do."

Me: *glare* "Yup, he has faults."

Ziklag: I find thy first words humourous my poor unpowerful
pitiful popper... You might overcome a prince of my light such as this? One who bears such power and love can not be overcome.
Concerning thou vanquishing my mortal form; 'tis off of any possibility for me to be destroyed unless by the gods. If you destroy one of my physical forms; which is nearly impossible by itself; I shall remain in Cramaphar and send another form of myself back to the world regaining light to it. Your sad sickly sadistic slimey soldiers do nothing against the power of gods!



Me: The Dark prince is the allegory for the devil and the light prince represents Jesus in Nemo's story, Michael and the prince are fighting over Michael's occupation and the dark prince is questioning the authority of one of the gods of my story! Michael is about to start a duel with Lawrence (who has a funny name). 'Tis all!

Michael: Aye; 'tis all!

Lars: "Oh, that's it?"

Me: "Go for it."

Lars: "I'd rather work it out. Why me, anyway?"

Me: A kind of condensed version of what has been going on, but includes everything, if you care to read it. It explains it a little more:

Michael: You are much weaker than that other prince over there! *cuts Dark Prince’s arm* Stop criticizing my job! I just do things in it that you disagree with! Will ya help me out, oh prince of light?

The Dark Prince: *Cut does nothing and heals* "Less power? What do you mean?! I have so much power! Look! My arm has healed with my own power. Your puny weapons cannot harm me! Now get that sword!" *digs stiletto deeper into Michael's back*

The Prince: "Because you have asked for my assistance, I can and will help you. But, I must warn you, if you leave and reject me again, you may fall back into the grasp of the Dark Prince." *pulls out two-edged sword* "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives his life for his sheep!" (John 10:11) *unsheathes two-edged sword covered in the words of the Prince. As it unsheathes, it whispers*

Sword: "According to the words of my Lord, so it shall be carried out."

The Prince: *holds his sword above his head, and brings it down to face Michael* "I cannot do this alone. You must do your part as well. The power of my sword will now go in you and your blade, and you must push yourself away from the Dark Prince. Know, however, that you will be aided with my power." *a flash of light soars through the air towards Michael, then vanishes*

Michael: I believe we’ve gotten off on the wrong foot. I actually steal for good! I get rid of idols, take their gold and jewels, and I give it to the less fortunate in my land, keeping only a little for me to survive on.

The Prince: “However, Michael, the gold from those statutes is not yours to give in the first place. Did my messenger Paul have to destroy or steal idols to aid me on my quest? However, I do appreciate you trying to help me and my father. Now hurry! Use my help and get away from the Dark Prince! Quickly now!"

The Dark Prince: “Do you really think a little tiny flash of light can do much for you Michael?” *digs stiletto into his back, strengthens grip on him, and awaits Jayson’s next move* “I hope that hurt!”

Michael: I am only stealing from those who stole it to begin with. I do not live in your world, so I’ll don’t have to worry about your laws. I will keep helping those who cannot help themselves. I wish your battle with the Dark Prince will go well, and I am off to duel another. Lars! Pick up your sword!

The Prince: "What you do not realize, Michael, is that my 'nice' world, as you call it, is where you live, whether you realize it or not. This world is what you may call your spirit, your conscience, and your mind. You will eventually end up in the Shining City or the Light-bearing City. However, the choice is yours. Now I bid you adieu."

Gloria and Victoria: *gasp* "Do you mean that you are to duel with Lars?!"

Julliana: "You can't duel Lars yet! He still needs to answer Victoria's and my questions! That just isn't fair."

Victoria: "I keep telling you, life isn't fair, Julliana, but you keep insisting that you will try to make it as much more so as you can..."

Julliana: "I'm just trying to make the world a better place."

Jay: @ Dark Prince "You'd be more afraid if the sword was at your neck. What's it to you?"

The Dark Prince: "Oh my, my, my, my. Jayson, Jayson! Do you not realize that I am the epitome of fear? I am the one who freely gives it to others! And, that little knife is not at my throat, now is it?" *pushes blade against Michael again* "I hope that hurt, too, knave!"

Me: "Kurt is no longer Shawn's brother, and his name is Lars. His role in the story is to show a lack of development in Jay."

Julliana: "Jayson, have flaws? Really?... Ignore them Jayson. I think you're just fine!"

Victoria: "Julliana, is it your personal goal to make everyone satisfied with 'just fine'?"

Julliana: *glares* "You know what I mean..."

Victoria: "You're right... I do..." *turns attention to Lars* "OK, well, you're basically the same character still, right? Please, tell me about yourself!"

Julliana: "We're eager to listen!"

Victoria: *glares*

Lars: "My name is short for Lawrence." *eyes Michael and Sven steadily*

Svensteel: Still a funny name... *nickers*

Lefwen: Ugly name for an ugly dog! Or man? I can't tell?

Ziklag: Now Ixion! *a ball of light comes from the goddess's hand and shoots toward the dark lord's body*

Ixion (whilst in possession of Lefwen): Stop! I shall cease ridiculing this sad creature.

The Dark Prince: *easily steps aside and dodges the light* "Haha! You'll have to do better than that to defeat me!" *looks at the Prince* "Is that fair? I thought this battle was between Jayson and me, and no outside forces can help him unless he asks for it! However, I may use all the resources I need..." *points to stiletto at Michael's back*

Ziklag: Ha! That power was not meant for you, mortal. Go play in your sandbox!

The Dark Prince: "M-mmor-MORTAL??? How dare you address me out of rank! I am no mortal, indeed! I have been here before the creation of all worlds! I used to be the highest Ark Angel in the King's army, but I decided that it was time to take up my own army and take command! I will prove one day that I am unarguably greater than the King! Now you be careful, Ziklag, or you may end up lying motionless on the ground."


Me: "That's about it... I hope it's not too much."

*adding on myself*

The Dark Prince: "Michael, as far as I can see, you are not going anywhere while I still have my hold on you!" *prepares to fully insert stiletto into Michael's back* "Any last words, knave?" *laughs Dr. Regis Blackgaard laugh*

Michael: Because you are funny! Now pick up your sword!

Me: By the way guys; when reading Michael's dialog... keep in mind he has a british accent! It's fun to read it like that!

The Dark Prince: "Who's to say that I am not a god??? In fact, I think that I am greater than the greatest God!"

The Prince: "HOW DARE YOU INSULT MY FATHER THAT WAY! On the final day of judgment, your punishment will be more severe than anything ever thought of before! Beware, that hour is coming sooner than you think."

The Dark Prince:

Me:

Jay: "Let. Him. Go." *swings sword at the Dark Prince*

Sword: "Begone from me!"

Me: *can't think with a stuffy head*

Lars: "Um..."

Me: "He has no backstory at the moment..." *sighs*

Jay: *mutter again about flaws*

Me: "I like your flaws."

Shawn: ^^

*sword doesn't even come close, and the Dark Prince stares blankly at it*

The Dark Prince: "And that was supposed to do what?"

The Prince: "Think Jayson! Remember that my word is sharper than any two-edged sword! You know how to use my power!"

Jay: *thinks*

Me: *growls*

Jay: *swings sword at the Dark Prince's shoulder*

Sword: "Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed."

Jay: "John 8:36."

Me: "Better."

The Dark Prince: "Haha! Although it may be written, that second passage you stated is in the past tense, so it can't mean me. And as for the first one, I believe that it is also written that 'the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea.' Now, this can only mean that that kingdom can be defeated, and who else is to do that than I?"

The Prince: *holding sword in the air, ready to strike* "It is also written that 'if anyone takes words away from this scroll of prophecy, God will take away from that person any share in the tree of life and in the Holy City, which are described in this scroll.' And I believe you have done this, Dark one! (Revelation 21:1 and 24:19) *Cuts through a layer of skin on the Dark Prince that does not immediately heal*

The Dark Prince: "That hurt!"

The Dark Prince: *winces at blow and drops his stiletto temporarily in the process* "You little-! You'll pay for that blow!" *whistles and magical characters and dragons surround Jayson*

Jay: *grins and then readies himself*

Sword: "He trains my hands for battle so that my arms can bend an bow of bronze." (Psalm 18:34)

Me: *is getting this*

Shawn: *watches carefully, holding onto Gloria's arm*

Michael: To arms against the foes of the prince! *jumps on top of dragon and starts slashing at it's head*

Svensteel: Delusional dark lord! *starts running for the dark prince*



Me: It was seen in a dream and written in past tense*

The Dark Prince: "My hands are already trained for battle, and they have first-hand experience! I have more practical experience, and so have more knowledge of what to do in these situations! And, one thing I have learned is that this can be very handy!" *pulls out long sword lightly coated with a strong virus and slices Jayson's side, causing him to catch the virus and weaken* "Take that, super hero! How are those arms for bending bronze now?" *evil Regis Blackgaard laugh*

The Prince: "Jayson, just say the word and I will rush to you and aid you, but I will only move at your command."

The Dark Prince: "However, I will move as I please!"



The Dark Prince: "Haha! You fools! What good do you think that will do you? Hmm?"

Dragon: *spits out fire through wounds caused by Michael and knocks him off fifty feet in the air, then proceeds to blow a great burst of fire at Michael*

The Dark Prince: "Delusional you say? If I am so delusional, than what do you call those blokes who believe in those silly little dreams about kingdoms and burning lakes and such? All stupid nonsense I say! And, whats more, what will insults do to me, the creator of insults? Nothing I tell you!" *scrapes stiletto across Svensteel's arm as he passes by the Dark Prince* "Take that, you nonsensical dream-believers!"

Gloria: "Shawn, go do something! Help them! I do have a weapon at my side, but I am still unsure as to whether I should use it or remain neutral... but go ahead if you wish."

Me: "By the way, I will soon be creating a new thread for Victoria and Julianna. It seems too difficult to keep track of two worlds in one thread and effectively develop all the characters. If you wish to interact with them in their new home, feel free to do so!"

Victoria: "Farewell all!"

Julianna: "Hope to see you there!"

Shawn: "I-"

Jay: "Shawn, don't. You'll get hurt."

Shawn:

Jay: *throws a looks at the Prince, tired*

Me: *feels bad for her characters*

Lars: "Jay, do you need help?"

*Michael pulls his glider out of his cloak and glides down to the dragon, carrying a bag of gunpowder...*

*Svensteel's wound immediately heals when he calls unto the name of Shaishie*

*Svensteel's anger rises, and Telem posseses him, he grows nearly a foot taller and unsheathes his rapiers*

*Svensteel yelled out in the tongue of the gods*

Svensteel: Gelfast Ni-reaba telellhael fienalkorr! Bafkorrinhigh lielquirr selvinban!

Me: Hey Nemo... your characters made mine angry!!!

Svensteel: Hazor filkorr jiiktror beleth!
(God of fire! Burn him apart!)

*flame erupts from Svensteels fingertips and his body bursts to flames, his eyes turn to a dark red. Flame swirls around the Kylor, and creates a ball of fire... Svensteel releases the fire onto the dark lord*

The Prince: *Stands back, awaiting Jayson to call him to his aid* "Jayson!"

The Dark Prince: "You better believe he needs help. That is, if he wants to defeat me! Haha! But there's nothing your puny little help will do for you, Jay Bird!"

The Prince: "Jayson! I am here for you! Call me!"

The Dark Prince: "You are so cute, protecting little Shawn like that, but it won't do her any good! You see, you're already too weak to do anything. What's to prevent poor, defenseless Shawn to get hurt next?" *makes a move towards Shawn*

The Prince: "NO!" *hands his sword to Shawn and stands in between Shawn and the Dark Prince* "JAYSON! MAKE A DECISION! NOW!"



Me: "Um... that was kind of the point."

The Dark Prince: *in a casual way, popping momentarily from the battle to face Svensteel... the author* "What can I say? I'm completely evil." *pops back into previous position in the battle*




Fairy God Mother: *said in sing-song voice* "Bippitty boppity boo!" *points wand at Michael's bag of gunpowder, which proceeds to expload in his face while causing his glider to flip him over onto the exploading gunpowder* "What did you think I'd do? Turn you into a prince? Mwahaha!"

The Dark Prince: *jumps over the fire, redirects the fire at Shawn and Gloria, then proceeds to throw icecicles at Svensteel's heart, while at the same time working his way towards Shawn* "Haha! Beat that, you foolish knave! You shall never beat me! Your puny efforts do not even hurt me at all!"

Gloria: What can I do? I don't have any experience fighting... What can I do? I don't even know who I trust right now.

The Dark Prince: Join me, my dear. See that I am winning, and know you will make a wise decision by joining my ranks. Win with me, and experience riches beyond your wildest dreams!

The Prince: Gloria! Use your dagger and fight bravely along my side! Although this is Jayson's battle, as soon as he gives the command, we will fight and defeat evil once again! Stay near me, and you will not get hurt.

Me: "For the authors: Those previous three comments were basically mental telepathy. The Dark Prince and the Prince have the ability to use mental telepathy, but none of the other characters can do it unless it is with the Dark Prince or the Prince."

Gloria: *stands with an unsure look about her face, looks at the flames, then looks at Shawn hoping to find an answer*

The Dark Prince: Gloria!

The Prince: Gloria!

Me: ...

Ok... what? Was this in jest? I'm confused?

Michael: I am a prince!



*The fire disintegrate the second it hurls towards the small girls*

*Svensteel calls down in the name of Ziph and the icecicles melt in the air*

*Svensteel uses the power of Grond and the ground inbetween the dark prince and Shawn/Gloria rises as high as the tops of mountains*

Svensteel: Svenwul-Dyecon! Great lord of gods! This scum has defiled your and your son's name! Take him and judge him now! Send him back to his hole!

*the earth shakes beneath their feet, and under the dark prince; a hole formed. The dark prince was sucked into the earth, and was met in Cramaphar; the land of the gods. Restoring peace to this CI thread*

Me: "No, that was for real." *points to quote below*





Me: "First of all... is that really fair? I mean, this was Jayson's fight after all..."

The Prince: "Second, this is my land! My father created it, and only he, myself, and my sister has the ability to create mountains, open holes in the ground, or even judge the Dark Prince! Plust, this is the land of God. The Dark Prince has no where else to go to be judged."

The Dark Prince: "Right! What he said!... Wait... WHAT? I mean, no! I mean--well, uh... Hey! I'm still here!"

*Mountain vanishes, hole is filled in, the land resumes to its previous condition, and the battle ensues*

Me: "Sorry Svensteel... Thing is, this is Jayson's fight. It isn't really fair to deprive him of the opportunity to gloriously win the battle with the Prince. If you wish to continue, though, by all means do! You will by no means lose any glory. However...."

The Dark Prince: "If you wish to duel me on the side, feel free. I am an excellent multy-tasker!"

Me: "Sorry to be a wet blanket. That's just how things work out in my word. If we went to your world, though, that would be a different story. Your world, your characters, your rules..."

Gloria: "Can we please just work on solving the current delema and then go to his world?"

Michael:
Svensteel:
And me:

*goes off to their own lands*


Goodbye people of Nemo-land!

Jayson: *whispers* "Help." *grips sword's handle*

Shawn: *clenches her jaw* "I'm standing by the Prince. He creates, not destroys."

Me: *has very small posts* "Oh, darn, I have to give Shawn a weapon." *thinks, then reads Nemo's post* "Oh." *snorts* "Mmm-hmm, he's not going to win gloriously in his story, so..."

We will miss you for sure, Svensteel! Have fun in all your future character development posts! I wish you all the best, and thank you for the enjoyable time you have spent with us here. Good bye! (Beware. Victoria and Julliana may show up on your new character introduction thread because they need a new thread to go be on!)



The Prince: "As you wish, Jayson! But, you have to defeat the Dark Prince yourself. I will fend all other distractions away, along with Shawn and Gloria!" *suddenly, another sword appears in his sheath* "However, Jayson, you know what his weakness is. Crush him untill he retreats!" *un-sheathes sword* "I was wounded for your transgressions, I was bruised for your iniquities; The chastisement for your peace was upon me, And by My stripes you are healed!" (Isaiah 53:5)

The Sword: "According to the words of my Lord, so it shall be carried out."

The Prince: *points sword to Jayson who is immediately healed, then goes off to fight the ugious beasts, the dragons, and the magitions* "Take that, you wretched demons of the dark lord! Coming, Shawn and Gloria?"

Gloria: Yes. Yes I will! *Unsheathes dagger and fights with the Prince*

The Prince: Shawn? Come along, dear. You will not be harmed.

The Dark Prince: *paling* "Y-yo-you cannot do that! You will never defeat me! I will not give up!" *sends more creatures to surround Jayson*

Me: "Just FYI, the sword is a character of mine... I just figured out that it is a type of character today. "

*pops in*
So do you suggest doing something like this to develop your characters?...

Yes! But something more like this might do better.
There are more people there, and are doing it in free rooms. And just started! It's all the same role-playing concept. Made for situational development!

I would also recommend something like this for Character Development. I've found out things about my characters that I didn't know before, created necessary items, and now have a better understanding for my characters and my world. When I feel like certain characters are not getting developed enough, I can either move them to another thread or take out other characters in order to focus more on the under-developed characters.

Also, although I'm just starting going through it myself, I have heard that the Character Fractalling System is excellent for developing deep characters. If you want to go through that step-by-step with me, you can do that here. I'll do about 2 steps per week.

If you want to go to the thread Svensteel recommended, it is new and chances are more people may join in on there, but if you want to join in here, feel free to do so! I'd be happy to catch you up to speed, although I think the Dark Prince is about to be defeated and we'll start basically anew. This world is more set in medieval times, while I have no idea what the other forum will be set as. It could be neat to place your characters in different worlds and see how they react to them. It's a very fun and interesting process in these character development threads.

By the way, I also have two of my characters in Svensteel's thread because I felt like they were not getting developed as much here, so feel free to move your characters around, too!

Finally, if you want to create your own development thread for your characters, you can probably keep them in their own world easier. If you do create your own, feel free to PM me asking me to join it. I'd love to!

I hope this helps!

Jay: *jabs with sword*

Sword: "Let them now that fear the LORD say, that his mercy endureth for ever. I called upon the LORD in distress: the LORD answered me, and set me in a large place. The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?" (Psalm 118:4-6)

Shawn: *smiles grimly* "Yes." *walks over by the Prince, a long thin gleaming sword in her hand*

The Dark Prince: *winces in pain, grimaces, and shouts in angry and painful way* "Stop this! Stop this at once! You will NOT do this to me!" *unsheathes sword and runs straight for Jayson, pointing the blade at his heart*

Slaves of the Dark Prince: *some begin to shrink back*

The Prince: "Haha! Dearest ladies, I believe we have them on the run! Continue on!" *jumps off of a dragon's neck, flips, bounces off of an ugious beast, who proceeds to die, flies through the air, flips once more, and slices a dragon in half*

Dragon: *one last burst of flame flashes out from his belly, but only succeeds in destroying more slaves*

Gloria: "I'm doing the best that I can!" *hits an ugious beast with the hilt of her dagger, then throws it at the Fairy God Mother* "Take that, you vile beasts!"

Me: "I'm so proud of them!"

Me: "I know how you feel, Nemo."

Shawn: *tight, grim smile* *swings at another slave*

Lars: *grimaces*

Jay: *sidesteps and parries*

Sword: "But I will sing of Your power;
Yes, I will sing aloud of Your mercy in the morning;
For You have been my defense
And refuge in the day of my trouble.
To You, O my Strength, I will sing praises;
For God is my defense,
My God of mercy." (Ps. 59:16-17)

"Have you not known?
Have you not heard?
The everlasting God, the LORD,
The Creator of the ends of the earth,
Neither faints nor is weary.
His understanding is unsearchable.
He gives power to the weak,
And to those who have no might He increases strength.
Even the youths shall faint and be weary,
And the young men shall utterly fall,
But those who wait on the LORD
Shall renew their strength;
They shall mount up with wings like eagles,
They shall run and not be weary,
They shall walk and not faint." (Is. 40:28-31)

The Dark Prince: *winces once more, then calls the retreat* "This isn't the last you'll see of me! Not by a long shot!" *returns to the Light-bearing City*

The Prince: *to Jayson* "Well done, good and faithful servant. I must warn you, however, that even though you defeated that dark lord, he will return and you will fight many more battles against him. But be strong and courageous in me, and you shall not fail. Utilize the power of my sword and always keep it near." *to Shawn* "Fairest lady, I congratulate you on your courage. Yours is great, and will come in handy during times of need. Use it to stay firm in your beliefs, and also use it to help others. Well done." *to Gloria* "Dearest child, stay firm in the faith you have found. It will always stay with you, but it is up to you to recognize it. With this faith, you can move mountains. Your faith is my strength. Stay strong in it, and you will not fail." *bows to Jayson, kisses Shawn's hand, and hugs Gloria*

Me: "I just love my Prince!"

Jay: *bows back* "Thank you, sir."

Shawn: *smiles* "Thank you."

Me: *chuckles* "One of the first completed duels that Jay won."

Jay: *leans on sword, worn out*

Shawn: "Are you okay?"

Jay: "I'll be fine."

Just some notes about my world and my characters so you know the gist of it:

The Prince, A.k.a. the Shining/Mysterious Knight, represents Jesus, The Dark Prince, A.k.a. the Light-bearing Knight, (still working on names...) represents Satan, Gloria represents Victoria. This world is medieval time-period and represents the spiritual world.

The world consists of a humongous field of poppy flowers and the like and soft grass, all of which have properties that stain the clothing of all who tread in it. There is a thin path in the middle of the field that is concealed by the flowers and grass; many see it, few choose to travel on it. At the end of the field is the Light-bearing City, of which the Dark Prince rules. At the end of the path is the Shining City, of which the Prince and his father, the King, rule. It may appear that the field leads to the Shining City, but only those who travel on the path may enter.

The Prince has a sharp two-edged sword that has many powers, depending on the words that the Prince speaks. The Prince gives all those who believe in him exact replicas of his sword, and they wield the same power. However, for those other than the Prince, the sword only works if they quote His words and have faith that the power will work.

Sorry if that's too much. That's just about the gist of this world, and I hope you enjoy your time in here!

The Prince: *bows* "It is a pleasure to see you all!" *kisses Eileene's and Lanna's hands* "I congratulate you on your knighting, Sir Rogan. Now, I have something for each of you." *steps over to a near-by bush and produces five swords* "For you, Eileene. Use its power wisely as I would do." *hands her a sword* "Rogan, your knighthood I am sure has taught you much. Use that knowledge to your advantage." *hands him a sword, then looks at Hilmar* "I believe a squire should carry one of these if he is to become a knight." *hands him the sword* "As soon as Eben arrives, he will receive one as well." *then looks compassionately at Lanna* "My dear, I have a sword for you. My question is, do you believe you are ready to accept it?"

The Dark Prince: "Oooh! New people to tormen-" *coughcough* "I mean, entertain! A pleasure to make all of your acquaintances!" *bows, then looks at Jayson and winces, then looks away*

Gloria: "Hello everyone." *curtsies* "I hope your trip here was pleasant. Somehow, I have this nagging feeling that I know you already... What is Terra like? Oh, and by the way, I didn't get hurt much in the battle. I am a little ashamed to say that I only joined in near the end. It is Jayson who suffered the most."

The Prince: "But you performed splendidly, my dear."

Eileene: *curtsies to the Prince* Thank you kind Sir, I promise to use it best I can to defend your people when it is needed.

Hilmar: Thank you Your Highness, I will use it with all my heart to protect your word, your people, and your truth.

Rogan: I cannot thank you enough My Prince, For you have already given me so much, and yet, I have nothing to give you that you have not given me. But I swear, in life and death I will serve you.

Hilmar: My Prince, excuse me, but I must go and find Eben, we need him to tend to Jayson. Excuse me. *runs off to find Eben*

*Eileene goes over to Jayson and Shawn and get's Jayson to sit down while they wait for Eben*

Lanna: *looks down at her feet and blushes* Sir, I, If you please, I mean-I am not sure what to believe. Every thing is so confusing, and one person says this, the other says that, And in the end I end up being more confused then before and I don't know what to think. I-Well, I need help. But I don't know how to get it and what to do....

Lars: *grins* "Nice job."

Jay: *grudgingly sits down* "Fine doesn't mean much?"

Shawn: "Jaimie didn't-"

Me: "Oh! I never developed her... Hmmm..."

Shawn: "That could be... explosive."

Jay: *glare*

Shawn: *shrugs*

Me: Uh...I'm confused, what's explosive?...
and who is Lars?

Lars: "I'm Jay's friend."

Shawn: "Bringing Jaimie in. She's... opinionated. We don't always get along..."

Jay: "That's for certain."

Me: *considers bringing her in*

Me: "Shawn, you changed your user name!"

Me: "Focus!"

The Prince: "Lenna, do not be afraid to trust and believe. Listen to your heart. I stand at the door and knock quietly, so listen and hear."

The Dark Prince: "Do, by all means, bring her in!"

The Prince: "Hilmar, your heart is already in the right place. Listen to where it leads you, for I am in it. You are near to becoming a knight, young squire." *looks at Rogan* "You need not give me anything that you have already not. You have given me your heart, your soul, the very essence of yourself. Let me use it to mold and shape you. All that I give you is a gift; there is no need to give back, but only a need to receive."

Gloria: *goes to sit down by Jayson, Shawn, and Eileen* "Jayson, where did you learn how to fight like that? You were very courageous and strong."

Me: "I did, albeit temporarily."

Jay: "My sister belongs to the Prince." *glares*

Shawn: *sighs*

Me: *grins*

Jaimie: "Um... where am I?"

Shawn: "Development." *cringe*

Jaimie: O.O "Oh."

Jay: *winces* "Um... The fighting, or the sword, exactly."

Jaimie: "What did you do?"

Jay: "I'll be fine."

Lars: "They're sending for a healer, or something like that." *turns to Lanna* "The Prince speaks Truth."

Jaimie: *wrinkles brow*

Shawn: It could be worse...

Lanna: *raises head to look at the Prince's face, and can tell that He is speaking the truth* I'll do my best to listen, Sir.

*Turns to Lars and sighs* I hope so.

Hilmar and Rogan thanks the Prince and join Eileene.

Eben: *hurries over to where Eileene, Rogan, Hilmar and the others are*
Where did you get injured, son?. Please every one! Back up, I need some more light.



Me: Oh, Nemo, it's Lanna not Lenna

Jaimie: "That's what I want to know."

Jay: "Um... A fight?"

Me:

Shawn:

Lars: "His leg."

Jay:

Eben: Okay, Now just lie down on your back and Lars, you roll up his pant lag so I can get a look at it.... *Eben makes a confused face at Jay's modern looking clothes*

Lanna: Uh....Shawn, you might want to look away, stab wounds are not pretty. * *

Eileene: *looks at Jaimie* May I ask how old you are Lady Jaimie?

Lanna: Gloria, does the sight of blood upset you?...'cause if it does you're going to want to look away.

Gloria: "I do not know... I've never run into any real wounds until now..."

The Prince: "I assure you it is not bleeding. Not even an infected wound. Only a wound that Eben will fix quickly with some stitches."

Gloria: "How do you know this?"

The Prince: *motions to Jayson's wound, not even uncovered yet, then is uncovered*

Gloria: *gasps* "Oh, wow. That is an amazing prediction."

The Prince: "Not a prediction, my dear. Knowledge."

The Dark Prince: *standing at a distance* "Nya nya nya nya. It's knowledge. Blah blah blah."

The Prince: *shoots a glance at the Dark Prince, the turns his attention to Shawn* "You are fine, dear. Jayson is not badly injured." *turns his attention to Jaimie* "Welcome, Lady Jaimie. Accept this sword, please?" *holds sword out for Jaimie, then looks at Eben* "You may need this, sir." *holds another sword towards him* "Thank you for helping Jayson. This sword can help you further in your practice."

Gloria: "If I may ask all of you, can you tell us why you have been traveling together?" *at Lady Alina's characters*

Shawn: *quiet smile*

Jaimie: "I'm..." *looks at me*

Me: "well, um... I have no clue." *thinks* "You're older than Jayson..."

Jaimie: "I know that."

Jay: *grimace*

Lars: *helps* "Oh, those clothes are the newest thing, called shabby genteel."

Jay: *muffled* "If I was up..."

Lars: *smile* "You're not."

Jay: *grumble*

Shawn: "Way to keep him entertained."

Jaimie: *accepts sword* "Thank you."

Me "Any idea on how to use that?"

Jamie: "Sure."

Me: "Uh-huh. It's not as easy as it looks."

Eben: Here now, hold still.... This will hurt so would you prefer to be unconscious when it happens or grin and bare it?

Me: Ah! If only he knew about pain-killers...



Lanna: *glances at Eben and Jay's leg, quickly turning to Gloria* Well...it's a pretty long story.

I was running away from the men who raided and burned my village, got caught, and was about to be stabbed to death when Eileene, Rogan, Earl...that's Eileene's brother, Orica, Arica (their twins) and some other's found me and brought me to the safety of Vanshcoppen's manner. From there Vanshcoppen kind of took me under his wing while trained soldiers went back to my village to see if there were any survivors.... Well...there were not any left. After that Vanschoppen took on the role of being my guardian, although it is more like Eileene, Orica, Arica, Rogan, and Adrien are my guardian(s). The reason they were near by was because they were on their way to Mortan's fortress to find out what he was up to and then go warn the king of Valdemar about it. I ended up going with them one they left. Along the way we got separated from each other when we were attacked by Mortan's men. Orica was wounded and died *a grim expression comes over Lanna's face*. When we got separated from each other I was by myself, and so was Vanshcoppen, and the other's were with each other. *Gasps for breath before continuing...* Zodac found me and took me to were Vanshcoppen was then from there the three of us set out to continue our mission. When we finally all joined up again, a month's time had passed. From there we went to Mortan's fortress were we ran into a bit of trouble and were attacked by a squad of Mortan's soldiers. Zodac was stabbed and died minutes later.... Now we are on our way to warn the army of Valdemar of Mortan's army that is headed our way.

*gasps for breath* I tried to make it short, but there was so much to include!

Me: My lovely Lanna forgot to mention that Zodac is Mortan's son, but disobeyed his father and joined the good guy side. Mortan was also the one who killed Zodac. Talk about family issues!

Gloria: "Wow... you were not kidding in the least bit when you mentioned that 'twas a long story... Well, it sounds quite exciting!"

The Prince: "Don't worry, Jayson. You will not feel the pain. I have ensured that. Carry on, Eben."

The Dark Prince: *sulks in a corner for a while*

Gloria: "Hello, Jaimie! It's so nice to meet you." *curtsies* "And, what do you do? Do you work with your brother?"

Me: *scratches head* "I can't recall if Gloria has welcomed Jaimie or not yet...."

Jay: *grimace*

Jaimie: "Um, hi." *stiff curtsey* "No, as a matter of fact, I don't."

Me: *sighs* "This is hard when I know nothing about you whatsoever."

Jamie: "Tell me about it."

Shawn: "I can, if you insist."

Jamie: *glares*

Me: "You two had better behave, all right?"

Shawn: *slight grimace*

Jamie: *grumbles something about behaving*

Me:

Lars: "Would you give me some background on Your land, Prince?"

The Prince: "Background? How far would you like me to go? The history of this land is quite extensive. In fact, it has been here longer than your own world. Would you like me to start at the very beginning, or more geographical background?"

Gloria: "Don't look at me for the explanation of this land. The Prince and his father, I'm told, are the only ones who actually witnessed the origin of this world."

The Dark Prince: "I was here very near the beginning, too! The Prince will twist up the story. Ask me, I'll give you the truth."

Me: "Do you really think he'll ask you after that epic battle?"

The Dark Prince: "Duh!"

Rogan: If you don't mind me asking, Dark Prince, are you really that stupid? The Prince would never lie! Every word he speaks is truth! He will not twist the truth.
