~*~Iris Coven Lunaris~*~
-Princess of the Imperial Kingdom; High Council Member of the Water Kingdom-
Where am I?: Water Kingdom; Grand Castle; Throne Room
With Whom?: Anders, Evy, Kira, and Bently, Kolt too
Seeing Kolt was a pleasant surprise. Iris' face brightened considerably. "Oh, Kolt. I've not seen you since you were this tall." She motioned with her hand. Gods, he has blossomed into a fine man. She glances about, before nodding with a gentle smile. "That's fine. It might be a breif visit I am afraid. I am expecting a guest today, and we're in the midst of preparation. Please, come. I'll have tea in the meeting hall for us." She glances to Evy, Bently, and her children. "A moment, please. I'll return after I speak with Kolt. Evelynn, go ahead and tell the messangers to place the orders you need. I'll return shortly. Children, mind yourselves while I am away?" She walks beside Kolt, taking her time as they go down the halls. "I know how trying this all must be on you, btu I assure you that our nations have made a solidified desicion on the matter. We will not war, and maintain autonomy with the Imperial capital." She explains in confidence. Though...she did not feel as confident in her own mind, best not show that to young Kolt. Such a free spirit. Best not to worry the child. They entered the meeting hall, assuring there was privacy for the two of them. She sits on the edge of the table tilting her head almost cat-like. Curious. "Please.What's troubling you? I hope you know that I am always here for you should you need it." |

~*~Bently Morrow~*~
-Head of the Water Kingdom Navy-
Where am I?: Water Kingdom, Grand Castle Throne Room
With Whom?: Anders, Iris, Evy, Kira,
At the request to have privacy, Bently nods. He's never met Kolt before, but know he's one of the Earth Kingdom princes. At least this is what he heard from Iris. His eyes narrowed. Something felt very off. "Anders." Bently's tone took a different shade. Normally light-hearted and airy, he sounded rather serious. "Come with me." He glanced to the side at Kira and Evy, who he assumed was going to place those orders as asked, but walked over to Kira, taking a lighter, sweeter tone, grinning. "Hey sweetheart! Uh...I'm sure you remember ol' Bently, huh?" He scratched the back of his head. "Do me a big favor. I know you want to go to the gardens right now, but if you can head to the kitchen to help prepare things for when Lucas Pearl visits later...that'd be great." He leaned forward to whisper in her ear. "Unless I, or your siblings come and get you, stay and help, alright?" He didn't want to alarm the girl, but leaving the princess alone is not something Bently Morrow is not going to leave to chance. He takes Anders' arm and leads him down the halls, and into a secret path, where he ducked down to spy into the room. There was a lever at the bottom of the wall that he would release to make a surprise attack if need be. He had his twin daggers ready should he need them. "Royal or not, something stinks about this." Bently said in a whisper, looking at Anders. "Consider this part of your knight training. Friend or not, I am responsible with the safety of the lot of you, and I'll be damned I skirt any responsibility now." He didn't trust Kolt. The name itself reminded him of an untamible horse romping around with no disregard to the safety of his handlers. This may very well be just paranoia setting in for Bently. For his sake, he'd rather it be just that. Paranoia. "If I give the signal, we go in and strike. I do this often if I am not on the ships with my scout crew. Just precaution. I am just making sure now, since your ma is the only one here in the castle, and you kids. Being the oldest of them, that's why I need you to stay with me in case things get bad. IF they get bad mind you." |

 Kira LunarisThe Water Kingdom Grand Castle Grounds
She is alone
_________________________________________________________
Kira couldn't help but notice that her brother and Bently were having a quiet conversation with each other. She wouldn't be a proper little sister if she didn't. But for the moment she was in her conversation with her mother and she wouldn't be rude.
Kolt, when he entered, was the distraction she needed and provided the best excuse for her to wander over towards her elder brother. It was pretty well known in her family that anyone other than her family often made her uneasy. It was her pride though, that she was determined not one to show it. Instead she pasted well practiced gentle smile with her lips. "A Pleasure to see you too." She gave a quick princess curtsy and let her mother take the reins with dealing with her earth kingdom senior.
Then she noticed that Bently approached. He had beaten her to the punch and she mentally sighed. Then he began to speak, and she could only nod in reply. "Okay." she muttered and looked at her brother with a concerned expression. "He must be pretty important for a princess to cook his food..." she added with a hesitant smile. A poor joke to hide her unease, but it helped.
She was a little surprised to see that others were uneasy. Tensions were high and her father was gone. Now was the time the needed to be careful. She needed to make sure that she did as she was told. And there was a plus, helping the kitchens was just the distraction she wanted now.
[[oh wow... what wonderful timing we both seem to have sage.26 seconds before me... scrambles to fix]] _________________________________________________________

Sanders (Anders) Cain Lunaris
Prince of the Imperial Kingdom
Where am I: Water Capital, secret passage
Who am I with: Bently
Anders studied Bently and then chuckled. "I think you're off your rocker, Bents. Kolt's just like any typical twenty year old guy that I know. Besides, he's from the Earth Kingdom. They never mean any harm." Anders waved his hand a bit as if to wave what Bently said away. He looked over at his sister, Kira and he couldn't help but chuckle a bit at her poor attempt at a joke. "Things will be all right. Besides I don't think I'd trust your cooking." He grinned as he teased his younger sister. "Just be careful. I'll try to sneak out of guard duty that dad put me on for ...my little adventure a few days ago, and come chat with you." Anders waved good bye to Kira as he followed Bently.
"You know, Bents. You're way too serious right now. I know it's suppose to be your job, but come on. It's Samantha's and the old great king Dy's kid. Do you really think he'd cause any trouble?" Anders waked with his hands folded behind his head. And you think I'm going to be that great at attacking if we need to? More than half the damn guards here have shown me that they know more than I do. Though I guess I have the upper hand due to my healing ability." He tilted his head as he thought about fighting with the guards. Okay it was sparring not fighting. Then the idea of fighting Kolt crossed his mind and he just did not think that it would come to that. He then sighed as he shrugged. "At least I get to 'train' with you over the others." He half chuckled.
Anders followed Bently down the secret passage. He was rather use to seeing secret passages since it seemed every castle had them. He tilted his head. "Really...spying on my mom just seems...kind of weird. I really don't like this." He sighed.
Kolt was glad that Iris accepted his request to talk alone. He followed her into a room. Making sure he knew the way he had gone. He already had about five exit plans just in case. "My job is what's bothering me." He gave a smirk. "You see, I'm not sure if you have heard of Revolt Awakening, yet. I am sure people will know who they are more and more as time passes. They are a group who is sick of the royals. They want to have people they want sitting on the crown or in this kingdoms case the council. The people want say in who leads them. You see," He paused as he studied Iris. He walked closer to Iris as he placed a hand on her shoulder. His other hand was on the hilt of his sword. He brought his sword out and slashed at Iris without a word. "You see, I'm part of them. One by one I will kill all of the royals. We are starting here with the council and you will all die." He chuckled a little as he then took a few steps back, sheathing his sword again. This time he drew out his gun, pointing it at Iris. "I don't play. A demon came in, killed you. I tried to stop the demon with my weapons but he escaped. A stray bullet from my gun accidently hit you. I was in a panic and I'll play it all so well." He chuckled. "Any last words before I kill you?"

~*~Iris Coven Lunaris~*~
-Princess of the Imperial Kingdom; High Council Member of the Water Kingdom-
Where am I?: Water Kingdom; Grand Castle; Meeting Hall
With Whom?: Kolt
Revolt Awakening?
He is a part of the Revolt Awakening party? Iris had heard of this uprising, but never drempt it would reach her doors, let alone by a prince of one of the most peaceful kingdoms there is. Her eyes narrowed, wincing in silence as the sword cut her side. She felt the warmth seep from her side and down her corset. She remained silent until he spoke, holding his gun outward to her. Most would see her as the delicate flower from which she is named. Actually...her name "Iris" is due to the deep friendship between the kingdoms. He asked for her last words. She would spare a few for this ignorant prince.
"You wish to fight me." Iris said calmly, keeping her hand at her side, reganing her stance. The pain was immense, but she will not bow. "You are apart of a revolt...Assuming that we do not care for our people. True, some of us are selfish, and some do not care, but I am not like them. I'd lay my life for this kingdom, and have since I regained my crown. Have you forgotten all of the hard work I have done to make my people happy?" She steps quietly off of the table she leaned on, pacing slow. Her eyes, like ice, and calculating. "You are a prince. A fool prince. The very cause you fight for contradicts your birthright. And to assume that I, will bow to you Kolt, is beyond insane. If this is truly how you wish to greet one who has treated you like her own son...Very well. But know this; you are unworthy of the kingdom you serve, or my friendship. Your act of treason shall be known through all the realm. I personally will forsee your title is stripped from you."
She closes her eyes, as a swarm of water swirls around her, just as it did when Cain had tried to strike her. This time, she learned to temper her magic to a skilled degree. He underestimates her might. A storm inside her brews as she stands still, and then just as a storm does, she sudden;y throws her hands forward, crashes of waves striking Kolt. She ducked and weaved about, ignoring the pain in her side the best she could. No. She will not bow to him! She is Princess Iris Coven Lunaris: Member of the Water Council, and soon to be Queen of the Imperial Kingdom. Her status has not dulled her sense of responsibility or taken her kindness. She's sacrificed so much to help the people she serves, and always reminded her children to do the same. The fact he would accuse her of not serving the needs of the people rightly...brought forth her anger.

~*~Bently Morrow~*~ -Head of the Water Kingdom Navy- Where am I?: Water Kingdom, Grand Castle Hidden Wall. With Whom?: Anders, Little Levi "Even so, Anders..." Bently looks over at the prince. "As a guard; one cannot be careful enough." To his greatest fears, his hunch was right. Kolt is not to be trusted. "Look!" He points in a whisper, pulling Anders' shoulder so he could spy through the peeping hole. "Damn! Damn my hunches!" This was bad. He had just struck Iris! However...Iris seemed too calm. Did she have a plan? He saw magic swirl about her frantically. Kolt had done it now. He had made the calmest of the Council see red at that point. Looks like there is more to her than he thought. She never told him that she could temper water magic so...beautifully! It is he stuff of paintings here. She was swaying about like a warrior, despite the blood. "Anders. Listen to me. Listen to me carefully." Bently said, eyes narrowed and calculating. "If he strikes her again, we jump out and attack. Do you understand me? We will attack Prince Kolt if he strikes her one more time." He saw out of the corner of his eyes, a young boy with a large-brimmed mage's hat not too far away, as if he had gotten lost in this hiding place. Was this Iris' youngest kid? Bently spun around as if to scold the child, but he obviously looked shaken, adjusting his large glasses. "You. Kid. You're Iris' youngest, Levi, right?" "I-I'm sorry." Levi said, and looked at Anders. "I heard crashing, and I got scared. So I was trying to hide." "Your ma tells me your bright. Come here, kid." Bently calls Levi closer, and whispers. "Watch everything. Hear Everything. Chronicle everthing you see right now. Should someone not believe what we saw, we need you to account for it. You can do this, right?" "Y-Yes, sir." "Do you recall anything aside the crash?" "I-I heard Mother mention 'Treason" and "Prince Kolt"." "Good. All you need to know right now. Stay right over here, and watch everything like I said. Alright?" Bently sheparded the child to a second set of spy holes, and nods. "Your brother and I will go out and help if need be, but you need to stay here. You'll be safe here. Understand?" "Y-Yes sir." "Good." Bently drew his daggers and waited, "Andy, put your free hand on the latch. If I give the signal, pull it, and we will thrust through here to her side. Got it? This is a matter of life and death. I know we're friends, but you need to listen to me if you want to stay alive!" ((Here is the song to set the mood of Kolt vs. Iris: www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmPH8BTwPKU )) |

Sanders (Anders) Cain Lunaris
Prince of the Imperial Kingdom
Where am I: Water Capital, secret passage
Who am I with: Bently
Anders eyes widen when he saw Kolt cut his mother. He whipped his head and looked at Bently when he spoke. "Are you insane! We have to move now! That bastard just attacked my mother!" He then heard a noise and looked over seeing Levi. How did he get here? Anders cursed under his breath as he then placed his hand on the latch ready to go when Bently said so. He couldn't just let his emotions run out this time, right? No, Levi was here. He had to listen to Bently even if it is just this once, to make sure not only his mother is safe, but Levi too. Damn it! Where was their father!? This is the kind of thing that Zane was suppose to do! He's the one that is always protecting everyone! This was his job! Anders gritted his teeth as he was watching the scene unfold.
Kolt clenched his teeth as the first few waves hit him, sending him stepping backwards. He put his arms in a cross in front of him trying to protect himself. His eyes scanned the room seeing that there was little to no Earth elements in this room. Great. Kolt's back started to shift as large dragon like wings shot out and surrounded him, protecting him. He opened up just enough to see Iris but able to avoid the water coming in. He pointed his gun right at her and fired off three shots. That should stop her from this attack and then he can make sure she was dead.

Zane Lunaris
Prince of the Imperial Kingdom
Where am I: Imperial Kingdom, Throne room
Who am I with: Slash, and all the other royal members currently in the Imperial Kingdom
Once everybody was in the throne room that needed to be there, Slash was ready to get things going. Zane had seen his relatives, the fire kingdom, and those from the Water Council minus his wife. Oh how Zane wished she was here. He could use her strength. The speech was underway. First Advisor spoke up announcing why they where here. Then it was Slasher's turn. This might have typically been humorous if Zane was anywhere but here. Slash was not the one that gave speeches. He lacked in that area.
Slasher looked at everyone and then shrugged. "We are here today to witness my stepping down of the throne, and my son, Zane, stepping up to the crown. I had a great reign, but it is time for someone fresh to step up to the plate." Slash had no intention of reading what was given to him. He'd rather just get this over with and then get to the party. He took hold of a scepter, and removed his own crown from his head. Zane knelt as Slash placed the crown on Zane's head and handed him the scepter. "I, King ...Leon accept you, my son, as the new King of Imperial. We will follow you. Now rise, King Zane." He had no idea what he was doing and it probably showed. Again he did not care.
Zane stood as he looked at everyone. "Thank you, father." He spoke softly to Slash. Zane cleared his throat. He did not have a speech ready. He always felt it best to speak from the heart. He first said a few words with one of the advisors to make it official before he would give his speech. "Thank you, everyone." This was not the speech he'd have to worry about the most. It would be the one tomorrow when he let everyone know in the capital. "I will do my best in making sure this kingdom stays safe. I will make sure justice keeps being served and I will try to make everyone happy. You have my word that I will do everything in my power to live up to being the King that everyone believes that I can be." Zane was about to say a few more things, but then Slash spoke up.
"All right. Now let's go ahead and start the after party! Let's celebrate my son's new role!" Slash grinned as he placed an arm around Zane's shoulder. "Come why don't you take your first drink with me as a King."
Those with wings,
Fly to your dreams.

~*~Bently Morrow~*~
-Head of the Water Kingdom Navy-
Where am I?: Water Kingdom, Grand Castle Hidden Wall.
With Whom?: Anders, Little Levi, and a traitor
"Acting too rash is going to cost your mother's life! And besides, she isn't going down without a fight first." Bently hissed back, but For a change Anders was right. He heard the first gunshot, then a second. "Shit. NOW!" As soon as the lever was lifted, Bently came tearing into the room, and slid low along the ground, before leaping up to grab Iris by the waist and pull her down to him. It did not stop the third bullet from hitting, but he knew he prevented a shot that would have killed her on the spot.
He knealt low, cradling his friend in his arms tight. He glanced down at her. Her breathing labored, and gasping. He saw the blood that poured from the new wound. "..B...Ben...!"
"Don't speak, Princess. We saw the whole thing." Bently said calm. Normally not formal, but he found himself slipping into it, to numb the pain of seeing his dearest friend hurt before his eyes. "I've got you. We're here. Your son is here." While Kolt seemed to be distracted by the blind rage of Anders. Stupid kid! Bently lowers Iris gently on the ground, she struggling to keep awake, and ran over to Anders, ripping him from the fight and tossing him back with strength he didn't know he had.
"Stay with your mother!" Bently commands, before turning to Kolt. "You get killed here, there'd be no point! I'll handle this cur!" He slams his two daggers together to forge his double bladed weapon, and started racing after him. In the distance he had heard Iris asking Anders if Kolt had hurt him in some way.
"Kolt! You foolhardy asshole! What in the hell were you thinking!?" He pulls out his small crossbow in pursuit. "You know as well as I that Iris would never betray her people! I've seen her make herself sick in worry over them, and you think that she'd make a fine target!?" He started shooting bolts at him, in hopes of nailing a limb. He caught some of the guards helping to pursue Kolt, and Bently lead the charge.
"Tell the general we have a traitor on our hands!" Bently cried out, trying to keep up with Kolt in hot pursuit.

~*~Levi Wade Lunaris~*~
-Youngest Son of Zane and Iris; Aspiring Sage-
Where am I?: Water Kingdom, Grand Castle Hidden Wall
With Whom?: No one
Levi was hiding in plain sight. He watched in horror as his mother was gunned down in front of him. How could he best his mother like that!? Her magic was beyond sublime! She did everything correctly! Her formations, her incantations, everything! Yet...a lone bullet struck her down in a matter of seconds!
He wanted to rush out into the fight as well, but Bently's words struck fear into him. Someone had to stay behind. Someone had to record everything here today. Chances are no one would believe an Earth Prince would ever strike someone of water. This would not be enough to sever diplomatic relations with the kingdom. There was no worry there. Kolt even said he did this of his own accord: with a group unaffiliated with Earth. He wanted to strike everyone with royal blood?
Why not strike down himself as well Levi thought. An ill thing to think, but this was the man who attacked his mother! It took a lot of willpower to not even throw lightening towards him. By the time the thought crossed his mind, Bently and Anders jumped into the fray to help. Levi kept every detail in mind, and heart; everything! He even remembered the way the room shook as Iris unleashed the magic!
He kept still, watching as Bently chased Kolt from the room, leaving a very wounded Iris to lay still in a puddle of water, and blood. Anders though was near, but he seemed inconsolable. Levi knew he was too young to make a difference, but he kept his orders to heart from Bently, and continued to watch. He needed to get Kira or Marina, but he would easily be a target himself should he venture away. He wanted to see what Anders would do before emerging from his hiding place, or to see if Bently would return with Kolt's head on a platter: An honor the traitor richly deserved for harming his mom!

Anders had bolted into the room. Freezing water in one hand, lightening in the other. He had ran behind Kolt and shocked the bastard. Kolt counted with jabbing his elbow hard into Ander's stomach. Anders tumbled a bit as he coughed. He was about to attack again, but something had ripped him away from Kolt. It was Bently. Anders cursed under his breath as he watched Bently run after Kolt who had already started to flee. Anders clenched his fists as he then walked over to his mother. He knelt down. "Mother, I'm all right. Nothing major. My body is already healing the bruises. I'm worried about you." Anders looked over to where he had come from. A few servants and a few guards had already entered the room. One of the guards already was making his way down to inform Evy that they needed her now. Anders wished he had some healing powers himself, but it was only his body that healed.
Kolt took off running the moment Bently took Anders away. Kolt jumped out of one of the nearest windows. Doing so, he felt a sharp pain in his left leg. He grunted a he spread his dragon like wings and took to the skies. He was not being caught here. He knew he'd no longer be able to return home. That was all right. He knew that day would come and he'd have to live on the run. He just hoped he did enough damage to Iris to kill her before helped arrived to her.

Iris felt so tired, and so hurt. She had to warn them of the danger! Her children! What of...?!
Anders was at her side. She felt his presence. She saw him through blurry eyes. Gods...He looked so much like his father. She wished he were here. She needed Zane!
"...My Ray of Light..." Iris cooed softly, trying to reach a hand to touch his face, but it seemed so out of reach to her.
"I...I am fine...but the kingdom...Who will...?" She couldn't find the words to ask, but she hoped he'd understand her.

Kira------------------------------------
Kira had full intentions to follow Bently's order. She was in the process of doing so and was halfway to the kitchens when she felt the swell of water magic she recognized as her mothers. Something she knew as she child but rarely had the opportunity to sense besides the few times her mother had tried to teach her. The fact that she used it now, made Kira gut fill with unease as she quickened her pace, yelling to the guards that she passed that her mother needed help.
But then she felt the swell of her mother's magic instantly collapse on itself and froze. "Mother." She muttered and spun around on her feet. She trusted that Bently and Anders had everything under control. They had to.
But she didn't trust what she sensed. She bit her lip and ran back the way she had just crossed before, in the most undignified way. She raised her skirts and ignored all the rules of propriety as she defied the solider's orders and ran to her mother's study.
She stopped outside, noticing her brother Levi, off to the side eyes glued to the scene before him in horror. "LEVI!" Her voice echoed louder than she realized.

~*~Levi Wade Lunaris~*~
-Youngest Son of Zane and Iris; Aspiring Sage-
Where am I?: Water Kingdom, Grand Castle Hidden Wall
With Whom?: No one; until Kira found him hiding
The loudness of Kira's voice caused Levi to jump and scream, falling over in the hiding place. His hat toppling off in the process. He looked up in horror before realizing it was his older sister.
"Kira!" He cried, thinking he was in trouble by her. He straightened up, and put on his hat, and adjusting it with a gentle twist, before squirming towards her, and hugs her, sobbing.
"I was trying to hide!" He exclaimed, drying his tears on her arm before looking up. "Uncle Bently ordered me to stay here and keep watch so I could make an accurate report of what happened. M-Mother...She was attacked by Prince Kolt of the Earth Kingdom! It's not a declaration of war for their nation! He said he was working with some revolt group..." He raised his head to hear Bently panting not too far off, ordering the guards who helped him give chase to find the general so he could tell what happened.

Samantha Lunaris Williarth- Earth Kingdom High Noble and Old Queen/Fire Guardian
Samantha watched as Slash named his son as the new king of the Imperial Kingdom and as Zane started to make his speech. It reminded her when she had officially stepped down as the queen of the Earth Kingdom and named Catherine as her successor. She had to resist the urge to roll her eyes when Slash interrupted Zane's speech and urged them to start the party already. why did she have a feeling that soon he would be drunk? She looked over to see her mother actually roll her eyes to this and she had a feeling the other had half a mind to smack him, if she could. She then looked over and saw Ana holding back anger of her own, so she went over and placed a hand on her shoulder. She didn't want an altercation to happen here. " Just relax, don't let Slash get to you. I know Leon loves you and we will get him back,"she whispered. The former Imperial queen sighed, but nodded her head. |
