Other details: She is walking on the thin, rocky path towards the Shining City in the Prince’s Kingdom. The path is amid a field that stains those who walk in it. Gloria is struggling with herself on many decisions.

Me: Everyone, the first thing you should know is that the Humans on earth and the people in the land of the Kingdoms cannot contact each other. But, things that happen on earth influence what happens in the Land of the Kingdoms. And, you may notice some similarities between Victoria and Gloria…

Victoria and Gloria (Simultaneously, but unaware of the other speaking): What do you mean?

Me: See? Anyways, as far as I know right now there are Dragons in the Land of the Kingdoms, amongst other creatures.

Gloria: Then why have I not seen any as of yet?

Me: Because I’m only on the second chapter… *blushes*

The Prince: No need to be ashamed, my dear. You will complete the story eventually. Just let it unravel itself and enjoy it as it continues.

Me: The thing is—well—I’m considering putting this current story on hold and writing a back story to it.

The Dark Prince: Does it include me?

Me: Yes…

The Dark Prince: Brilliant! No worries. By all means write it! Then there will be more of me on paper!

Me: But evil never wins.

The Dark Prince: You’re the author! Put a spin on it!

Me: Um… that would kind of ruin the symbolism in the story.

The Dark Prince: Does that truly matter? I shall be in it! Who would not enjoy that?

Me: *rolls eyes*

Gloria: If you wish to write that other story, then by all means do it. I will just remain here walking on this rocky path for who knows how long doubting myself and struggling.

Me: It’s not like it’s the end of the world or anything.

Victoria: What are you talking about, Authoress? I’m hearing you making these disconnected comments.

Me: Sorry, Victoria. I’m just speaking to those in another world.

Victoria: What?! Great. I have a crazy lady for my authoress.

Me: Just wait and see how the story unfolds, girl.

Gloria: That is, if you ever get to writing it.

The Prince: Cease this teasing at once! She’s only just beginning proper fiction.

Me: Thank you. So, if anyone has any questions for my characters, please feel free to inquire away.

Julliana: Wait a minute! You’re forgetting me!

Me: Sorry. You’re not really an MC, so I forgot.

Julliana: Then why did you put me in this introduction?

Me: Because Victoria needs someone to talk to, and not a really minor character.

Julliana: So I’m more than a really minor character, but less than an MC?

Me: Yes. Kind of like a co-star.

Julliana: OK, that suits me just fine.

Me: Anyways, feel free to ask any questions.

Me: *chuckles* "You characters are actually polite? Mine seem to get wilder all the time."

Jay and Shawn: "We do not!"

Me: "Anywho, here's a run-down on my mischievous crew. Jay is rather tall, with dark hair and blue-green eyes. He's impetuous and quite exasperating, to be honest."

Jay: *accidentally knocks over a coat rack* "Hey, it's your fault, technically."

Me: "Shawn is 5'3", with pale golden hair that she usually wears in a braid and amber eyes. She's a bit on the vivacious side."

Shawn:

Me: "There. Now go talk."

*silence*

Me: "Seriously! You guys talk plenty when I want you to be quiet!"

Shawn: *coughs* "Hello, Vicky, Gloria, Julliana, the Prince, and..." *hesitant* "...the Dark Prince. I'm Shawn Henderson." *cocks head at Vicky* "You run?"

Jay: *offers his hand* "I'm Jayson Neil Lewis, but I usually go by Jay on here. It does cause confusion with the Admin, though... There are a lot of Jasons/Jays/Jaysons on here."

Me: "And yes, they do get married in their story."

Shawn: *pinks*

Jay: *hides his red ears but attempting to upright the coat rack*

Me: "Fail. Anywho, their story is a jumble of historical fiction, fantasy, sci-fi, spy fi, and maybe a bit of steampunk... We'll have to see how that goes."

Vicky: "Yeah, I run. I'm on my school's track team with Julliana. We're best friends."

Julliana: "That we are indeed!" *shakes Jayson's hand merrily* "Nice to meet you sir!"

The Dark Prince: "Why do you hesitate to state my name, fair lady? Do you find me intimidating?"

The Prince: "Whether she finds you intimidating or not is none of your concern, you snake!"

The Dark Prince: "tsk, tsk, tsk. Harsh words stir up wrath..."

The Prince: "A lying tongue hates those it hurts, and a flattering tongue works ruin."

The Dark Prince: "Pleasant words are like a honeycomb..."

Me: "That's enough, you two! I know I have biblical symbolism in my story, but stop bantering with the Word, please?"

Victoria: "I'm getting plenty of silence on my end of things..."

Me: "Sorry. I guess it doesn't really help having more characters in the world that you can't hear."

Victoria:

Gloria: "And which world are you two from?"

Shawn: "I run too, though not on a track team. I have to be fast for my type of work."

Jay: "Likewise, I'm sure."

Shawn: "Um..."

Jay: *eyes the Dark Prince for a brief moment, then turns to Gloria* "We're from..."

Me: "Around the 1960s. Yup."

Shawn: "What is your land like?"

Julliana: "And what exactly is your 'type of work'?"

The Dark Prince: *eyes Jayson* "For some reason it seems that everyone is avoiding speaking to me. What have I done to them? Have I not shown courtesy to all?"

The Prince: "Stop playing around. We all know that you're evil. However, it seems that others are trying to avoid you. That I shall not do! I will stand here and face all danger that comes my way, whether it be from you or one of your slaves."

Me: "I love having a romantic hero."

Gloria: "Our land is a giant field with lovely flowers that extends as far as the eye can see. At the end of the field are two kingdoms that contain two main cities: The Light-Bearing City and the Shining City. However, one cannot enter the Shining City unless they enter on this path that I'm walking on at the moment, and only after they are cleansed of the stains from the field by the Prince."

Victoria: "What do you mean 'what is your land like'? It's life in the 21st century... Oh yeah. You're from the 1960's... Nancy Drew time period, I believe, if my mind is working right."

Julliana: "Well, the first thing you need to know is that just about everyone has mobile cordless phones that are smaller than your hand..."

Shawn: *looks at me*

Me: "That's still being worked out... Tentatively, she works for the N.S.A., while Jay works for the C.I.A."

Shawn: "Yeah..."

Jay: "I think the Prince summed it up well."

Me: "I don't have a romantic hero."

Jay: *folds arms*

Shawn: "It sounds most beautiful."

Jay: "Oh... And you're from the time of Star Trek, more or less?"

Shawn: "Interesting... Ours are a bit larger."

Jay: "The general public has access to cordless phones? Last I checked, that was classified."

Shawn:

Victoria: "Not only cordless, my friend, but with touch screens as well."

The Dark Prince: "I don't mean to be rude, but, what is a cordless phone? For that matter, what is a phone? Do tell me. I would love to get in on this secret!"

Julliana: "You know about Star Trek?"

I like your characters.

The Dark Prince: *Bows* "Thank you, good lady. You obviously have excellent taste in characters."

The Prince: "...Pride goes before a fall..."

Jay: "A what?"

Shawn: "Great, his 'inner technology geek' is freaking out."

Me: "You two get on just peachy, you know?"

Shawn:

Jay: "Um... Somewhat. About as much as my author knows about ST, which really-"

Me: *frowns*

Jay: *is promptly thomped by a dictionary* "Hey!"

Me: "Love you too, buddy."

Shawn: "Can we behave, children?"

Me:

Jay: @ Gloria: "The Dark Prince rather high and mighty, isn't he?"

Me: "They're rather... energetic tonight."

Jay: *mischief*

Shawn:

Victoria: "A touch screen. You know. You touch it, and the screen interacts with your touch due to sensors in the glass? I'm not sure about all the details. My dad would know more about that..."

The Dark Prince: "Why dust thou speak about me to Gloria? Ha! You're afraid to speak to my face. I knew it. I challenge thee to a duel!"

The Prince: "Only if I may aid him!" *Promptly draws sharp, two-edged sword*

The Dark Prince: "Remember, Prince, you can only aid him if he specifically requests your help! Until then, you must stand aside."

The Prince: *sighs* "Jayson, before you fight, I must tell you that you will be unable to kill The Dark Prince, but you can defeat him. I will be ready to aid you at a moments notice. Just say the word, and I will step in."

Gloria: "And what about Shawn?"

The Prince: "She can stay with us, unless Jayson asks her to aid him, as well."

Me: "Oh great." "Look what you've done, Jayson! My Dark Prince really wants a fight, and he's picked you. Good luck!"

Jay: *shakes head* "What next, see through phones?"

Shawn: "That. is. awesome."

Me: *sigh* "Leave it to... Jayson."

Jay: "I'm not afraid." *fingers hilt of claymore, vaguely hearing the others as his eyes flash irritably*

Shawn: *stands by Gloria* "You'd better stay back, dear."

Victoria: "Actually, I believe that is under-going some development right now..."

Me: *sighs and waits in anticipation*

The Dark Prince: "You may not be afraid now, but you soon will be." *whistles, and Dragons and ugious creatures appear from the Light-Bearing City* "Prepare to meet your worst nightmare." *evil grin*

Michael: Hey! Another fake person party! *barges in* Come on Svensteel.

Svensteel: *Walks in lazily, tired from the last introduction forum Michael dragged him into*
"you know... if this breaks out into a food fight I'm leaving!"

The Prince: "Be careful, men. A great battle is about to ensue."

Victoria: "Did Svensteel mention a food fight? I don't think you'll have to worry about that, unless Shawn starts it."

Julliana: *Lifts hand to shake Michael's* "It's nice to meet you two. My name is Julliana. You have already met my best friend Victoria..." *gestures to Vicky*

Me: "Just one note. You must pardon my characters if their comments seem a little disconnected. The characters from each world have no way of communicating with the other world and are completely oblivious to the world they're not in within my story as of now. However, they can communicate with others' characters from other worlds."

Gloria: "Svensteel," *curtsies* "it is nice to make your acquaintance. I like your name; I find it quite adventurous. I'm Gloria, and this is Shawn. That's Jayson over there preparing to fight the Dark Prince. You have not missed much."

Me: "If you have any questions, feel free to ask! However, chances are some answers may be found in the first post here."

The Dark Prince: *taking time to look up from his opponent* "And what worlds do you two come from?" *looks intently and intimidatingly at Jayson*

Michael: *instead of shaking hand, he kisses it*

Svensteel: *wrestles to kiss hand*

Michael: *pushes Svensteel out of the way and kisses hand*

*the two start brawling over who should kiss Julliana's hand*



Svensteel: Well hello maiden! Your name is also quite... glorious
*bows and kisses hand*




Michael/Svensteel: Our worlds?

Michael: Jinx!

Julliana: *Jerks hand away from Michael and Svensteel*

Victoria: "Let's go hang out waaaaay over there with Shawn." *Goes over to Shawn with Julliana, completely unaware of Gloria standing nearby*

The Prince: "What are your occupations, Michael and Svensteel?"

The Dark Prince: *breaks focus from Jayson, irritated* I mean, what is your world called and what are some unique features about it? *focuses back on Jayson*

Gloria: *accepts kiss on the hand, not being irregular for her time period*

Svensteel: I am the high priest of the Kylor

Michael: And I am the high thief of the... everywhere



Svensteel: Which part of it? Grenha-hom to Felsglen, Velcorren islands? Kylor temples? Krolon to the Enlech? Mountains of Gragon?
Michael: My world is now only kinda in the dream stage, I cam here to develop myself... You know Namor... you really should make me a house

Me: Hey, chill out! I'm working on it! You know that my computer is down and I am NOT writing it on paper!




Michael: Fair maiden Gloria! What kingdom do you reign?

Jay: *steps forward, brushing back his hair*

Me:

Jay: "Those aren't my worst nightmare; it already happened." *draws sword, listening to it's whisper along the scabbard* "I'm not exactly masterful with this thing..."

Shawn: *nods at newcomers* "A food fight? Me?"

Me: *gets idea for storyline*

Shawn: *ducks* "If Jay wasn't busy, I'd watch out... I mean it."

Me: *considers bringing Kurt in here* "Anyone disagree?"

Svensteel: Kurt?

Shawn: *smile* "My older brother. He's tentatively an Air Force pilot..."

Me: "Yup."

Victoria/Gloria: "Bring him in, by all means!"



The Prince: "You instruments of the Dark Prince! Get away from fair Gloria and Shawn! Go join the ranks of your master and flee from us this instant! Only those who worship my father The King, the Creator of all, and accept me as their guide can escape The Dark Prince!" *draws sharp two-edged sword and stares at Michael and Svensteel with a hardened look*

Me: "Pardon me if my assumption that the Kylor is not the ONE is wrong..."

The Prince: "However, if you tell me that the Kylor is my father or if you wish to repent your evil ways..." *sheathes sword and gives a welcoming smile, which hardens a little again* "I apologize. I'm supposed to know just about everything, but due to my authoress's lack of complete knowledge of everything, what I know is limited as well."



The Dark Prince: *breaking his concentration once more with large irritation* "Make your choice, and do it hastily! I have BUSINESS to get to! I do not care which part!" *focuses back on Jayson intently* "You may have experienced your first worst nightmare, but another is coming your way." *whistles* *ugious creatures claw at Jayson and dodging his wildly-swinging blade*



Gloria: *giggles* "Why, I am but a mere traveler on this rough road. I reign over nothing but myself. It is the Prince and the Dark Prince who actually rule their own lands. I have chosen to walk on the road to the Prince's kingdom, The Shining City, but it is ever so rough and tiresome. I have often considered switching to the large field of flowers surrounding this path, despite the stains it may give me, because of how pleasurable it seems..."

The Prince: "Why, you-you-you-- My Lord has not provided me with enough words to cut down your size! You monstrous slave of the Dark Prince! Although you may not be aware of it, your dark lord has a strong hold over you and will drag you into the bottomless pit of burning darkness and cool fire! You dare insult the son of the King, the Creator, the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End! Flee from me at once, or you shall have much to deal with, you thief! I have much love, pity, mercy, and forgiveness among other virtues that I will readily give to you if only you would accept me as your master. My load is not heavy, but you do not accept. Woe is thee for ignoring the ultimate gift of love!" *puts hand on hilt of two-edged sword*



The Prince: "You know me and my father! You are most welcome in my house, Svensteel! I thank you for your services in my kingdom. Gloria is traveling to my kingdom so that she may know my father and live in ultimate love. For your loving devotedness you will receive much reward, I assure you! Glory be to my father, the greatest lover who has grace sufficient for all!"



The Dark Prince: *Still concentrating on Jayson* "First of all, Jayson will not kill me! And if you are wondering what I am doing, I am waiting for Jayson to make his move. Second, I was not speaking to you. I was talking with your friend" *motions to Svensteel* "If you wish to continue to talk about your land, by all means go on!"



Gloria: "I thank you, kind sir, but the road is so rough, and I see others getting along just fine on the field... I can't help but wonder if it is not an easier and better way."

Michael: woe is to him who believes in fairy tales, I follow my own God you may follow your imaginary one! Or... I suppose you worship yourself? *laughs*




Svensteel: *is confused on how there could be two creators*

Me: It's ok Svensteel! There is two worlds... It's completcated.



Michael: If you turn right or left you will find you had just as well stayed where you were.

The Prince: "You have laughed out loud for the last time, you treacherous knave! In order to defend my father, my house, and our mission, I command dumbness and deafness to come over you at once! And no, this is no sorcerer's magic, but the authority and power of my father and myself! Now flee at once!" *unsheathes two-edged sword, now 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: "You will learn to fear the power of the Lord!" *holds his sword above his head, and brings it down to face Michael, who instantly cannot hear or speak*

Me: "Wow... things are getting really tense, here."



The Prince: "Two creators? Indeed, there are not! The Creator and Lord of your land is one and the same as my father! He created all, and resides here in the Land of the Kingdoms within the Shining City. Dust thou desire to meet him?"



The Prince: "Gloria, watch out! That man is a hypocrite! He quotes my words beautifully, but does not abide by them in the least." *motions to quote at top* "Although he may give proper advice, I would not travel with him. Look! He walks in the staining field himself! If you were to trust one of these two men, it should be Svensteel."

Gloria: *is really confused now* "I don't know..."

The Dark Prince: *still waiting on Jayson* "Gloria, dear, why not join us on this beautiful field? Your tired feet may rest on a soft patch of grass and flowers. Consider what the Prince is saying. Do you really believe you will ever reach the Shining City? Will the King really let you in after walking on such a rough, dirty road? Come over here with us and take your life into your own hands."

The Prince: "Can one really have their life in their own hands? Is it theirs to control, or does it belong to someone else?"

Victoria: "Um... helloooo? Are we forgotten over here???"

Me: "Sorry. Things are tensing up over in the other world..."

Victoria: "There you go again with 'the other world'..."

Julliana: "Be kind, Victoria!"

Me: "Argh!" *is behind*

Jay: "I didn't swing yet... No matter." *jumps and rolls to the side, up and ready instantly*

Kurt: *walks in* "Wow, it's busy in here." *smiles at Shawn and nods at Victoria, Gloria, and Juliana* "Hello. I'm Kurt Henderson." *looks at Jay* "He can't stay out of trouble..."

Shawn: *sighs*

Kurt: *slight wrinkling of brow* "Welcome to you, sirs."

Kurt: "I seem to be fine, thanks. I'll, uh, file that for future reference though..."

Shawn: "Brothers."

The Prince: "Interesting... I believe he cannot be my father, then, for although he lives everywhere, he would never share a realm with other, false, pagan gods. Please, tell me more about him."

Me: "Due to my lack of knowledge of your world, I'm afraid the Prince's understanding is a bit shaky as well..."



The Prince: "I know you more than you think I do. My knowledge far surpasses what you can ever grasp. And indeed, I have power. Power enough to create an entire universe with just my words. And indeed I am a prince! In fact, I rule the Shining City, over yonder at the end of the path. Although all are invited to enter, only few are allowed... Speaking of my power, you have lost the ability to speak! How is it that you have verbalized so much???"



The Prince: "You have had many warnings, young snake! However, I am gracious and have more than enough mercy for all. I give you yet another chance. I invite you to discover the realities of these so called 'fantasies'. You can have riches beyond your grasp if only you will believe." *a tear runs down his face as his passionate love cannot be expressed*

Everyone: *nods their acknowledgement of Kurt, then continues on with what they were doing*

Victoria: "So, Kurt, how many times have you had to rescue Shawn?"

Kurt: *looks at me*

Shawn: "Rescue me?"

Me: *shrugs* "No idea."

Jay: *jumps on top of the creature, hanging on with skill*

The Dark Prince: *Chants something and a blood-red dragon darts towards Jayson, spurting fire everywhere*

The Prince: "Jayson! Remember, you have the power I have given you in your sword! Use it wisely. It has the same power as my sword."

Jay: *jumps and rolls, stumbling only slightly*

Shawn: *makes a face* "Your hair is singed."

Jay: (to The Prince) "Yeah, well, how do I do that?"

The Prince: "Quote my word, and it will serve you well. You know how to use it and when. Trust your spirit, Jayson! And, have faith."


The Dark Prince: (in a sarcastic and unimpressed tone) "Oh bosh. Bippity boppity boo..." *various fairies appear with the Fairy God Mother from Cinderella at their lead, as do wizards and witches with Merlin at their front, among other magical characters*

Me: "Wait a second, weren't Merlin and the Fairy God Mother good magicians?"

Me: "Yes, but due to practicing magic at all, I have placed them under the power of The Dark Prince."

Me: "That makes sense..."

The Dark Prince: "Haha! Jayson, are you really going to believe in the so called 'power' of that little sword you have? Do you really believe that it can withstand all of the power I have at my disposal? Look at my army! It grows every second! I can show proof to my power! What did the Prince give you? A dinky little sword. Ha ha ha!"



Me: *decides to drop this whole discussion*

The Prince: *ignoring the whole 'gods' thing* "So, what is it that you exactly do in your world, Svensteel?"

Gloria: "I am most interested to know, as well."



The Prince: "I would have loved to bring you to my kingdom, but because you continuously reject me, I have no choice but to give you over to The Dark Prince. It is in the New Law, which can only be broken at the end of time... I pity you."

The Dark Prince: "Why thank you, my friend! Michael, what did you say your occupation was again? A thief? Well then, go steal that sword from Jayson!" *puts stiletto blade to the back of Michael's neck, forcing him to complete the task*

The Prince: "I am not your friend!" *glares*

Victoria: "Helooooo? Are we completely forgotten????"

Julliana: "So... Kurt... what are your favorite hobbies?"

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

Me: *headdesk*

Shawn: "Aren't you forgetting...?"

Me: "Oh yeah! Um, Kurt is no longer Shawn's brother, and his name is Lars. Carry on."

Lars: "You almost spelled my name wrong."

Me: "Sorry, sorry... Sheesh." "His role in the story is to show a lack of development in Jay."

Jay: (to the Prince) "Um... thanks." *searches memory*

Lars: "It's short for Lawrence." *eyes Michael and Sven steadily*

Me: "He does know self-defense..."

Lars:

Me: "Same to you."

The Dark Prince: *wound immediately heals, and he retains the same amount of strength* "Less power? What do you mean?!" "I--I I don't know what you mean!" *clears throat* "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*



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! How could I be afraid? And, that little knife is not at my throat, now is it?" *pushes blade against Michael again* "I hope that hurt, knave!"



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*



Me: "This would be a bad time for Jayson to do something mindless..."

The Prince: "Come on, Jayson! Think! You have the power of my sword! You know what you need to do! Think!"

Gloria: *looks unsure at Shawn* "Jayson does know the art of duels, does he not?"

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*



The Prince: "I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. For life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet my father, the King, feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds! (Luke 12:22-25. Addition of "my father, the King," is mine.) Also, I say to you that Anyone who has two shirts should share with the one who has none, and anyone who has food should do the same. (Luke 3:11. Addition of "Also, I say to you that" is mine.) However, Michael, the gold from those statutes are not yours to give in the first place. Although you may be doing good in your community, you are doing it in a dishonest manner. Did my messenger Paul have to destroy or steal idols to aid me on my quest? Think on that for a while, dear Michael. 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: "Michael, do you really think that little burst of light that is shining on your little knife will allow you to pull yourself away from my grasp? Think again, my little pet!" *pokes the tip of the stiletto into Michael's back* "I hope that hurt, too!" *strengthens hold on Michael and awaits Jayson's next move*
