Starlight Castle Many centuries ago, a terrible thing happened. In the world of the fey, peace and properity was corrupted by the one thing that would have been the most joyous of days. The great Queen was with child, the heir to the Throne of the Fey. As everyone rejoiced with the news, prosperity reigned over the land such as was never before. Peace was settled and the land and people flourished. But as the queens time came anon, she began to be terribly sick with her terms, and the King finally put her to bedrest. A pall fell over the kingdom, as the shining queen was falling violently ill. But her pregnancy was harsh, and the king began to notice his wifes stomach was much more full than it should be, and he called for the midwife.
Worrying and worrying, the king paced in his chambers while his wife was inspected. The midwife came in, terribly worried, hiding her apprehension. There was something wrong with the Shineing Queen. The moon was full as every person in the kingdom came, as was the custom, to await the new heirs arrival into the world as the queen gave birth. But twas a long terrible ordeal, the queen was in labor too long, all the day, and the people became worried. The mills were closed, the streets bare, homes quiet as the people awaited the news of thier beloved queen.
Hours passed and the sun fell below the horizon, making the people whisper of bad omens, uneasy. Then the midwife began to help the queen give birth to her child, unheard of for the queen, and fear broke in the crowd. Murmers swelled as they began to fear for thier queen. The King stood on the balcony alone, unable to aid his ailing wife, trying to close his ears to the sound of her weakening sounds as she gave her all to bring his child to the world.
But then it happened. The full moon illuminated the candlelit chamber, as the midwife held up a squirming baby boy towards the king. It took a lungful of air, crying out loudly at the cold. A relieved smile broke over the king, and the crowd cheered at the cry, praising thier king and queen and all would be well. But as the queen relaxed, she suddenly stiffened, her delicate form arching on the bed as more shudders wracked her form. The king feared, and the midwife turned back, realizeing all was not well. The queens scream of pain echoed off the walls of the castle, silenceing the moving crowd as alarm and fear was etched plainly upon the face of the king. Another child was born. As the pale king handed the two screaming baby boys over to the midwife and nannys, he fell to his knees beside his love, his queen. Taking her hand in his, her skin so cold. The midwife couldn't stop the bleeding. The Shineing Queen would die. Tears streamed down the kings face as he whispered words of comfort and love to his love, his heart, as she lay dying. But the queen spoke a prophecy, she told her king of the love she held for him, and that he must be strong for his sons. For thier childrens destinys held the fate of the world of the fey in thier hands. One child would be good, but the other, the other would be dark, cast out by his own family for an evil he had no control of. For thier powers would be great, and the choosen one would have a child to be the next Shining Queen, to bring properity and peace back to the land. "Morganna..." The queen whispered, the name of the next queen. Her pale eyes the color of windswept violets turned up to the king, whispering of her love before her last breath slipped from her body, and she lay back into the bed. Gripping her hand the King threw back his head, letting out an anguished roar of pain as his queens soul passed on. The words of her prophecy ringing in his ears, he turned a tear streaked face to the floor and wept. The midwife handed him his firstborn, whom he coddled to his chest with a tight embrace, but as the second child was extended to him he snapped. He flung his arm out, almost knocking the nurse who held the child, as his harsh words scraped out. "Get that thing away from me. That is not my son, that, that..... THING! killed my Queen!" His shoulders racked with sobs as his firstborn quieted in his embrace, the nurses looking together with fear as they beheld thier King. The Shineing Queens prophecy would indeed come true.~*~A Thousand Years have passed..... ~*~ The great King lay dying. And the whole kingdom mourned. The kings wife had been murdered, and as he tried to save her, an arrow had peirced his heart. The immortal fey can be killed, but as each is born with thier own weakness, one place on thier bodies that is vulnerable to a certain wound. The kings heart was weak to silver. A silver arrow had pierced his heart.
His raven hair lay around his head, matted with blood, his once bright eyes of blue were faded, lines pinched around them with pain. His normally tan skin pale as the life leaked from his body. But his hand was strong as it was curled around two tiny hands that shook with sobs. The healer had left to give the king his last moments with his daughter.
"Morganna, dearest please do not cry..." His voice was soft, strained as he tried to speak. The small form by his bed hiccupped, raising a tearstreaked face up. The small child turned her cheek into his palm, rubbing it as she willed herself not to cry, but her heart was breaking. Her mother, her beautiful good mother was dead. And now her father lay dying. She couldn't take it. Sobs wracked her tiny frame, and heedless of the blood upon her father she threw herself into his arms, crying as she begged him not to leave her. Her normally bright violet eyes were darkened to the color of storm clouds as her father lifted her chin to get her to look at him, coughing as the sound shook his body and made him another shade paler. Her silvery hair that had never been cut curled around them, the color of frost on snow. The King smiled weakly and spoke. "My daughter, dearest Morganna. You know who you are, and you know what you must do. You must lead our people Morganna, you are the next shining queen of legend. You will bring about the properity of our land." The King coughed again, breathing for a few moments before he continued. "You know my daughter, you know who did this to us. He has tried for years to remove everyone in our line, but he cannot succeed. Morganna, you must become the Shining Queen," "But fath-" "No! You must morganna, do not allow him to take over the throne! The lands, the people, will be cast into darkness, for inside him is an evil unmatched. You must not ever trust my brother daughter, for he is not what he appears." A smile softened his features as he hugged his daughter tightly. "I have faith in you my daughter, I know you will lead our people as my mothers prophecy foretold. You will not let me down Morganna. Of this I am certain. You will have my most trusted men at your side to help you. You will not be alone. One day you will have to find a King to rule by your side, and when that day comes I will not be there. I am sorry Morganna." "Father no, don't say that.... " "You know I am dying Morganna, I am having to leave you alone in a world when you are not yet old enough to be on your own. But I have no choice. You must be strong Morganna. You must fight to keep our kingdom safe."
As the gaurds and closest advisors and friends of the king stepped into the room, the King gave them thier last orders, to raise his daughter, and put her safety above all else. Teach her the ways of the kingdom, and the ways of the sword, the ways of magic. Do not let her die. Each pressed a fist over thier heart in a gesture of respect, thier own eyes filled with tears as they bowed out of the room. The king held his daughter a few moments more, "I love you morganna, I have faith in you." "I love you too father....." Then the kings eyes became unfocused, and his hand became limp in hers, his eyes fading as his head fell to the side. His last breath expelled from his body. The Princess Morganna laid her head upon her fathers chest, and as her first act as Queen, wept for the life of her parents, and planned in her head how she would keep her fathers kingdom safe.

~*~ The Storyline ~*~ It has been thousands of years since her fathers death, but to the Immortal fey such time is nothing, as though merely twenty years to humans. Morganna is still fighting the battle against her fathers Brother.
But for now she is throwing a grand ball to find a suitable husband. Nobles from courts far and wide attend to dance the night away and try thier chance to wed the Shining Queen. But guards patrol the castle in large amounts, on the alert, fearing an attack from her uncle.
------> more detail in progress, is simply setting up the skeleton for now ^3^~*~ The Character Profiles ~*~ Profiles are to be made in detail, with who you are, your place, your purpose.. etc.
Every person is to be a fey, no other creatures will live in The Land of the Fey.
There will need to be princes vying for the attentions of the Queen Morganna, along with guards, advisors, mages, swordsmen, etc.etc..
So there are many positions to be filled. The ones I listed ARE NOT the only position, just examples, so you can be whatever.
Fill out your profile, and send it to me via Pm, then I will place it here with the others.Profile: Name: Age: History: Appearance: Where from: (if not the castle) Place: (prince, mage, swordsman, etc,etc....) Main Task: (to romance/protect/attack the queen, dance with other wo/men, etc etc.) Anything else you want to add: sad as this is merely just a roughdraft to make sure I get at least this much Info.)

The whole of the Starlight Castle shone like the sun. Great crowds of people swarmed inside the castle, the buzzing of voices, the sounds of laughter, dancing, could be heard for miles. The Shining Queen was throwing a ball. A Grand Ball to find herself a king, as she would need help in the coming war against her own uncle. Outside, a full moon hung amid thousands of glittering stars, illuminating the sky. More and more carriages of the utmost beauty, gilded with satins and gemstones, prancing purebred horses and agile foot filled the lanes. Each jumping out to open the door for the older matronly women that were bringing thier sons, all the princes and sons to the ball to see if they could marry into the family. She had though to perhaps make a tourney after this, to find the toughest man to be her king, as she did not want a powdered boy standing at her side when she needed him.
The Queen turned her back to the window she had been staring out of, walking to the gaurded door and stepping out. Her chin held high as she sighed. "I suppose I am ready gaurds." The men she most trusted, the captain of her gaurd and a few soldiers accompanied her almost everywhere, as her uncles attacks had become more and more quiet yet all the more harsh. She would not be formal with the fey who had been there when her father died, who had helped raise her.
As morganna stopped at the curving ivory stairway, the music lowered, then swelled into a fast beautiful melody, lively to dance to. Her stoic face broke into an impish grin, belying the age and wisdom of her stormy violet eyes. Her skin shone like smooth alabaster around the folds of her dress, a silken dancing dress which flowed like living satin around her long legs. Th[/color:ef87c

Alli looked upon the dance, and held her hands behind her back. She wasn't exactly sure what to do. She'd never been to a ball before. She looked at her own simple, but pretty, dress, and sighed. She should be up in her room, studying transfiguration. She looked side to side, and swallowed. The only person here she knew personally was her teacher... but where'd he go? She held her head slightly higher, and walked around the dance floor, looking for someone her own age to talk to... preferably a magelet like herself.

Descending the stairs Morganna looked around the ballroom studying the multitude of faces here. Seeing one she remembered, she shooed away the men wanting to dance, soothing thier feelings by saying she would dance with them soon. Her eyes alit on Darious, acting as though he wasn't on gaurd, merely blending with the crowd she smiled, remembering thier talk. Then her eyes found the girl again, and she thought of the head mage telling her about the promise of power in the young woman. Geniunly pleased the girl had came, she stepped up behind her. "Greetings Alli, I am glad you decided to come to the Grand Ball after all."

Alli jumped up a bit when the queen spoke to her. "Your majesty!" She bowed, slightly flustered. "Y-yes, I-I'm glad I did too!" She managed to say, she hadn't really talked to the queen, only hearing stories of her. She tried to discreetly look around for her teacher, but he was nowhere within her sight.

"Please, you do not have to be quite so formal, although I am sure some of these rather pompous oafs would have a fit if I said call me Morgana, so you can just call me Queen, at least here," she said softly, winking at the girl. Then she turned her head, looking around and laughed. "Ah, there he is. I knew that mage was somewhere, I am sure he must have just forgotton one of his pouches he always carries on him. Since you were looking for him, there he is. Mage!" The queen lifted her hand and waved, which the mage tried to do and hurry over, almost falling. She laughed again, seeing he was coming and turned back to the girl. "Do not be so jumpy, it is alright. I must go now, before these princes throw a tantrum, excuse me.." She nodded at the little mage, then at the mage who hurried up and turned to step away to a prince who bowed and held out his hand.

Alli nodded. "Yes yo- Queen!" She bowed again out of habit, and turned to her teacher. "Are there any other magelets here?" She asked. "Or people my age?" She looked around, still slightly nervous to be in a room with so many other people.

Rayne looked around the crowded hall. Her hair was loose, and her eyes, strange even in elvish standards, drew her some odd looks. She kept her head high and soon the people stopped staring. she saw Morgana, and thought about how much she looked like her mother. she drifted along, her scarlet dress with its black trim shimmering, and wondered who else had come.

The Queen smiled at the Prince who was slightly taller than her as he led her to the dance floor. Many turned to see the first she had inclined to dance with, whispering about his exotic looks of tanned skin and black hair. His outfit in shades of dark red, covered in rubies and blood diamonds, a prince from far off. They went onto the dance floor, twirling away in the lively song as the couples closed back in, all dancing and laughing.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
{{I suppose that without more rpers yet I could be more than one role, easy enough huh? lol. }}
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The tall mage stood, wiping his brow. "I had forgotton something I always carry. I never know what I do with these things. Sorry Alli for leaving you here. Have you danced yet?" The mage was tall and lanky, with great power which was hidden under her easy demeanor. He had a quick charming smile, and long hair the color of emralds, which matched his wide sleeved robe. He swore that his changeing hair colors were the result of his magick tampering, but the queen suspected he just did it for fun. Abashed, her silver eyes danced down at his star Magelet. "I do not know Alli,... I haven't been here very long myself, I think I see one of them..." He peered around the room, searching.

Alli shook her head. "No, I haven't danced with anyone yet..." She looked around a bit, moving her arms around restlessly, front to back, crossed-uncrossed. She didn't exactly want to dance, she barely knew how. Her mother had taught her once... but that was long ago. She tried to remember the steps, and tapped her foot to the music, trying to place the jumbled up memories in order.
