Welcome to Gaia! ::

There is an ancient prophecy still whispered among the people of Verlond. One of a Rose who would one day save them from the oppressive forces of the Torens who have enslaved their people. If anyone is overheard even mentioning the prophecy they are whipped to death in the village square and their bodies left for the birds, but still the prophecy lives on.

Lady called Rose
Whom destiny chose
To watch ‘or the land
And proudly to stand
Fighting for peace
And freedom’s release
Killed by king’s heir
To dragon’s despair
The crystal heart broken
Through ancient word spoken
Her people enslaved
In vengeance they’ve craved
Or’ throw the oppressor
And alleged successor
The true heir crowned
Shall rise up a mound
To honor the Rose
Whom destiny chose

For years the people have waited for the Chosen one to be born, but what they don't know is that she already has been. She was taken away and raised by the dragon kin, who couldn't allow her to grow up under the Torens and chance them learning of her. She was told of the prophecy on her 16th birthday and in a moment of fear and self doubt she ran away. Now she is in hiding from the world, keeping her identity secret, but little does she know that you can't change destiny, destiny changes you.


Side notes-
Torens are vampires
Verlonds are half blood vampires and werewolves

The leather in his glove began to creak as he clenched his fist , suddenly he swept the tabel before him of all its contents books maps charts and all flying off the edge . the chair fall behind him with a loud thud to the floor kicking up the fallen black feathers.Van left the library to his room leaving his personal tomes behind in the library his boots heavily treading on the wooden floor. A trail of feathers lie behind him as he went from the library to the foyer and finaly upstairs to his chambers. The Inn itself had been abandoned for some time now dust collected on the registry and the photo behind the reception desk.
Van had recently began taking residence there and noticed that it looked like who ever was there had just up and left oneday.

Staring out her window Celestia sighed exasperated. It seemed as if time was crawling slower than ever and frankly it was annoying. She couldn't think of anything to do anymore and her family was much too busy to visit her no matter how much she begged them. It had been weeks since she had used her wolf form which was also another concern because she was afraid at any rate she would forget how to transform altogether. "Ah this needs to be more active." A groan escaped her lips as she exited her and started walking down the hallways lazily.

Her bushy black wolf tail swished from side to side as she walked her black ears lay flat on her head. As the smell of smoke crossed her nose she followed the smell curiously hearing her stomach growl when the smell was followed by the sweet smell of meet. Upon seeing a man with large wings looking around. Her eyes quickly darted to the meat but she ignored her curiosity. 'Where have I see him before...' She thought to herself poking her head around the corner a bit more letting her long black hair drape to the side.

Van had athe feeling had a feeling as if there wasa pair of eyes on the back of his head suddenly, he threw a fork out the crack of the door c***k it went as it knocked off a small bit of plaster as it colided with the wall. then the door swayed just a little and then there was a light thud a floor down, someone had come. Van quietly gripped the handle of his matchlock pistol and headed towards the door opening it very quietly.
Over the years he had spent traveling the world he had become very suspicious of people whom he did not know.

Celestia studied the man ever so alert regretting the few sounds she made as she tried to stay as motionless as possible which seemed to be failing. 'Dammit' She thought annoyed seeing the man grab a rifle and head towards the door. Quickly tip-toeing around the corner she hid behind an old looking grandfather clock which seemed to have collected a lot of dust as well as cob webs. 'Probably hasn't worked for years.' Taking in breathes every few moments she watched carefully as the man walked down the stairs and into the foyer. "That was close." She whispered stepping out from behind the clock.

Smelling the faint smell of burning meat she quickly rushed over to the fire and looked around frantically for something to put the meat that the man had been cooking on. Grabbing a newspaper she reached her hand into the fire ignoring the twinge of pain and pulled the meat onto the newspaper. "Never good to leave a fire unattended." Staring at the meat she deliberated weather to eat it or not. 'That wouldn't be very nice...' With a sigh she put the meat which she had wrapped in the newspaper to keep it warm aside and stared into the fire zoning out as her tail swished back and forth.

Celestia's ears twitched at the sound of foot steps coming up the stairs. She hated the creaking sound the stairs would make as Celestia's ears twitched at the sound of foot steps coming up the stairs. She hated the creaking sound the stairs would make as was applied but of course it couldn't be helped since the was past its prime. Planning on hiding before she was caught she stood up quickly and turned around. Her amethyst eyes stared at the mans gun her face remained impassive. 'Option 1: Run, Option 2: Stand still, Option 3: Talk, Option 4: Jump out a window... wait isn't that the same as running?' Her mind wandered off for a bit.

Shaking her head she took a deep breathe and decided to answer the man. "I'm Celestia... W-Would you mind putting that thing down. It's quiet harmful to well... any living thing." With her tail swishing back and forth gently she walked over to the newspaper she had wrapped the meat in and picked it up. "It was burning... So I removed it from the fire." She paused for a minute and held out the newspaper across the distance. "I hope that was okay."

Celestia's face went red when she was handed the larger piece. She hadn't expected him to share with her especially considering that he was of a different race. 'I guess not everyone is close minded.' She thought to herself happily eating the meat slowly. Of course her preference was raw meat but cooked meat was good too. A chuckle escaped her lips when she was reminded of how her wolf mother would always nag her about learning to cook food instead of eating it raw. At the time she couldn't careless because most of the time all that her mother did was try to find suitable husbands for her but it might come in handy after all to have the

Looking into the fire her eyes drifted over to the man sitting on the bed. He seemed just as quiet as she was which really didn't help the situation much because she wasn't really the conversation starter in any social groups. Her amethyst eyes scanned the quickly. "I-If you don't mind me asking how did you end up in here?" Stuttering she went back to eating her meat slowly a bit embarrassed that she wasn't able to talk to the opposite properly.

Listening carefully to what the man was saying Celestia's ears twitched then lay flat on her head when she was asked the question of how she came to be at the Inn and decided to give the short version of the story "I thought I would give my parents... well they aren't my biological parents but close enough. I thought I would give them a break from me... Plus everyone has to leave home eventually to discover the world for themselves. No good will come of just sitting around... Uh... Plus it was either that or I get married." Cringing at the word married another flashback came into her head when her mother had announced that it might be prudent of her to get married once she had reached full adult hood. Of course her answer was a very hate filled 'No way in hell.' But it wasn't because she hadn't thought about it... She just wasn't ready to be married to someone she didn't even know.

Upon meeting the mans gaze she felt a twinge of sadness. Tilting her head to the side she analyzed his expression for a few moments wondering if he was also analyzing her. Getting up she unconsciously walked over to the bed, leaned over and put her hands lightly on his cheeks. Stretching his cheeks she giggled. "You are going to get wrinkles if you frown." When she realized what she was doing Celestia was back on the ground by the fire in a matter of seconds her face red. "S-Sorry force of habit." She murmured laying her ears flat on her head as she stroked her tail. It was a bad habit she had picked up from her friend who always did it to try and cheer her up and strangely it worked all the time.
