— THE DEEP DEEP DEEPER WE GO;; 

CHAPTER I.

it is said that when you were born you came out screaming as if to let the world know you arrived and you tiny hands in a fist as if ready to protect. and this sentiment would continue for the rest of your life. you childhood was peaceful and when your little sister was born, your protectiveness just seemed to grow by the tenfold. you excelled in your studies, finding a love for books on things outside of dragonveil but never thinking about venturing outside. you did not have much expectations for you, in your eyes you were the spare of the spare and so you would was your oyster to do as you want.

CHAPTER II.

as you grew older, you honed your knowledge. learning about different topics as you tried to figure out what you place in the household would be. you imagine your only advantage was that whoever your parent arranged a marriage with, would be someone from a house that could help your own. you babied your sister, being closer to her than you would with your other siblings. you knew she wanted to see the world and if you could you will do what you can to help her. you also started to learn how to defend and fight. you struggled with a bow and arrow, with a sword it felt too small flimsy for you, but an axe now that was an item that matched your ever growing statue and strength.

CHAPTER III.

now as an adult, life was being decided for you. A betrothal was started with someone who you didnt want to marry (at the time). They had their reasons and you wanted to explore the world beyond your home. You wanted to see what you always read about and the marriage never happened. As you took the chance to explore, your path kept crossing with them, the one you disliked then felt annoyed with then a kinship that became love. They say opposites attract and may you both are proofed of that. Your family and theirs became yours. They helped provide the protection that your house was not known for and in return, you were the one to take them off their hands and love.

CHAPTER IV.

you hear of many nobles heading to ardora for a celebration, and your summons arrive as well. You grumbled your way there. Spending most of your time with your family mainly, not really talking to others. Your thirst for knowledge grows, and you train here and there. After all what tragedy can occur in midst of a celebration? Your famous words that should have served as a reminder to stay vigilant.

CHAPTER V.

a tragedy that was gruesome with beasts and many slain. you protect your family, defending mostly while your partner dealt with beasts. But in the quietness of the dust settling, its discovered the beasts come from the north and suspensions fall on your partners family and others from the region. You give looks to anyone who dares say they had something to say about it. All you can hope for as interrogations, that the truth is revealed otherwise what tragedy is yet to unfold?

— FREE INFORMATION;; 

Personality wise, is too smart for his own good and knows it. he is in all around good dude who knows he can come off intimidating. loves to prove others wrong about him (many think he is all brawn and no brains but alas he has both). he is really the poster guy of ‘looks like can kill you if provoked but is an actual cinnamon roll'. loves to train like so much and always looking for others to train with, talent with an axe but any other weapon and he stumbles. also is a big book nerd. this man has read all things about everything he can get his hand on so may sometimes come off as a know it all but it comes from the heart.

friendships . with love, when it came to dating it was always with the intention of it ending before he could develop something serious. whether its because he always assumed he would be arranged to someone one day or afraid to actually feel something like love. definitely has slept around with anyone he has been attracted to so that reputation follows him wherever he goes. but then he met his match with his partner and loves this person dearly.

— CAN I GET A CONNECTION;;  

ride or die ( open to a few) ;; the bestie, the platonic soulmate, the ones she would do anything for, maybe they have pet names for each other, they're almost like family, etc. they are the best of friends and nothing can tear them apart (maybe?).

confidant ( open to one ) ;; don't know how it happened, maybe met at a meeting or out and about. they are the one person who knows how they really and can tell them anything and vice versa. they both keep each others dark secret. (maybe they have dirt on one another and that's why they don't spill anything.

my toxic love, my life ( taken by AMBROSE LAICESTRE ) ;; this was a betrothal proposed by your parents, of a mutual beneficial alliance between two houses when you were both barely stepping into your adult age. both of you were against it for your own personal reasons, and in the end the betrothal was never finalized. over the years, as was expected, your paths have crossed many times, your words and blunted swords clashed just as many, as well as your cups of wine, nursing a connection that changed like the winds of early spring. from rivals to friends, from annoyances to lovers, there was only one thing constant between you two, and it was a strong sense of passion. nobody knows you better than he does. it is indeed your vices he is attracted to most, like moth to a flame, and your love is alive, and raging, aflame in your chests still. it took ten years for the two of you to come to your senses and finally marry. your union is strong, though never boring. you keep each other from the frigid cold of commonality.

exes ( open to a few) ;; honestly, i just like exes. bonus points if there’s still tension or maybe still hook up but it doesn't mean anything beyond the physical or if they’re just really good friends now with no tension at all. maybe they felt angry that it ended before talks of betrothal. i love options.

we like the same things ( open to a few) ;; essentially a friendship that relies on them have things in common: fellow book nerds unite. maybe they also teach him more about the other regions he mainly just read about and has visited probably once.

former one (or more) night stand / flings / fwbs ( open to many ) ;; one night, he was maybe a little bit down and needed something to pick him up. this worked. or maybe they met up , sparks flew, and it just happened. though its in the past and things could be awkward or theyre friends.

old friends ( open to a few ) ;; maybe they were friends in their younger years but somehow, they fell apart. maybe she did something stupid and drove them away or unintentionally (could be fun for plotting purposes).

enemies / frenemies ( open to few ) ;; however these two became known to each other can be determined later, but either way, they dislike / hate each other. maybe its clashing attitudes, don't like his household/region/his spouse, or they know he has a brute.

enemies turned friends ( open to one ) ;;a pair of people who didn't like each other up until a certain point, but either realized they have alot in common with one another or learned to put their differences aside for the better of the realm.

 IS  OUR  KING  UNFIT  TO  BE  THE  KING  OF  ILTHORIA ? 

"i think it fits our liege perfectly." he answered bluntly. azriel was already a man of few words and this interrogation would serve to just prove he still is.

WOULD  YOU  PREFER  ANOTHER  FAMILY  UPON  OUR  THRONE ?

"who would I even dare imagine to see on the throne. My family is perfectly content with our home though," and maybe it was his anger getting the best of him but he spoke quietly. "you think my husband and his family aspire for the throne but they do not. i can assure you that."

DURING  THE  CELEBRATIONS  WERE  YOU  ENTHUSIASTIC  FOR  THE  FUTURE  KING  AND  QUEEN ? 

"who wouldn't be? isn't that why this grand celebration is occurring in the first place? we are all rejoicing over this beautiful union of out future leaders." the lord said. it may have come out sarcastically but he genuinely believed it.

ARE  YOU  HERE  WILLINGLY  OR  BECAUSE  YOU  WERE  SUMMONED  FORCEFULLY  TO  ATTEND ? 

"if i were to respond and say both, would you be angry with me?" azriel couldn't help himself in what he questioned. "but i came with my family of my own fruition because we were summoned to be here, my lords." forcefully he almost added but held his tongue.

DURING  THE  ATTACK  WHERE  WERE  YOU ? 

"protecting my family, my husband knows his way around a sword so didn't need me there with him but same cannot be said about my own blood. we from the south, from dragonveil, are not strong fighters but we try our best when it comes down to it." he had his own marks of the night but nothing as bad the others who were in the thick of it.

WHO  DO  YOU  BELIEVE  COULD  BE  THE  CULPRIT  OF  THESE  HORRENDOUS  ACTIONS ? 

"is that a trick question? do you want me to say it was the north because the beasts came from there?" he spouted. his anger besting him and he took a few breaths to calm himself down. "i do not know who could be behind this ugly attack but it was not them and whoever did this is a coward for trying to blame this on someone innocent."

WHAT  WOULD  MOTIVATE  SOMEONE  TO  GO  AGAINST  OUR  KING  AND  KINGDOM ?

 IS  OUR  KING  UNFIT  TO  BE  THE  KING  OF  ILTHORIA ? 

malai fidgeted in her seat as nerves kicked in but she mustered up courage to answer the questioned. "our king holds a powerful throne and it is one that he and his family have held for years and will continue to hold for the rest of time."

WOULD  YOU  PREFER  ANOTHER  FAMILY  UPON  OUR  THRONE ?

"i could never imagine another family sitting on throne. it would tremulous to even think such thought. they have a legacy that spans lifetimes of great achievements that no one could ever have done." she says. the thought of has never crossed her mind of another family on the thrown even her own at that.

DURING  THE  CELEBRATIONS  WERE  YOU  ENTHUSIASTIC  FOR  THE  FUTURE  KING  AND  QUEEN ? 

"of course I was ecstatic for them. it was a joyous occasion and being able to celebrate ten strong years of a marriage is a blessing to many. I hope one day my future marriage is ever as joyous as theirs is." lady starling said. her parent's marriage was rocky thanks to who her father really was but she had always wondered if her own marriage one day could ever be of love, true love and not one that was based because she had been blessed by atesia.

ARE  YOU  HERE  WILLINGLY  OR  BECAUSE  YOU  WERE  SUMMONED  FORCEFULLY  TO  ATTEND ? 

malai gave a bright smile before she answered. "my family came here and i followed suit like a dutiful daughter is raised to do so. we are tight knit house and it is our duty to our king to be here in ardora if he wishes it."

DURING  THE  ATTACK  WHERE  WERE  YOU ? 

"in truth," she paused wondering if what she said next would make her seem weak. "i was hiding. I was enjoying the festivities and when the beasts arrived, i ran. the terror, the blood, the fighting between man and beast was very terrifying to me. I myself do not know how to fight or even defend myself so i did the only thing i could. i ran and hid for my safety. i didn't even bother to check if my loved ones where safe as well until things have settled."

WHO  DO  YOU  BELIEVE  COULD  BE  THE  CULPRIT  OF  THESE  HORRENDOUS  ACTIONS ? 

"i have no clue who would dare and willingly hurt all these people. I hope they are caught soon who ever is behind this and suffers the consequences for all the damage they have caused. too many innocent lives have been hurt from this." the sereen spoke softly. she truly felt sadness for all those who were suffering from the fight that occurred.

CHAPTER I.

you birth was a joyous occasion, as is any birth the noble ruling lady of Starfax has and you were beloved by many. another daughter of the esteemed noble starling family of the region ceago, your mother's expectations were high that you’d also achieve greatness just like your siblings. growing up came challenges — you may have had your family's name, but even without those, you were a magnet thanks to your beauty. friendships formed easily, your word and loyalty binding. only those close to you knew of your gentler side, the part of you that few reaped the benefits from. a rose with a thorn, your name was malai meaning garland of flowers.

CHAPTER II.

blessed with beauty and grace that seemed to only grow when you turned ten, their was no worry too often about your future. a strong head on your shoulders, the world was your oyster. doors opened easily for you, wondering if it was earned or just given in hopes for something exchanged. despite the opportunities, you paved your path to show everyone you shined so bright. you study much about stardust as interest in the family business grew and helping others became your thing, friends came so easily to you, many adored you for how well behaved you are. you wouldn't learn until later on that you had been blessed by atesia, the lightbringer. her gifts you felt blessed to have but made you wonder and question what was true or not.

CHAPTER III.

as you got older, you beauty became renowned. you made yourself a formidable member of the household offering opinions on things to do with business despite many thinking you were just a pretty face and they didn't think much of you. you spent your time with the people, helping those who were less fortunate than you. whispers of whether you doing it for good or just to impress, made the way through the streets but it never stopped you from continuing you work.

CHAPTER IV.

you hear of many nobles heading to ardora for a celebration but you stay behind lingering at home. maybe you were afraid to go with worry about what would happen with so many people alike and clashing personalities in one roof. though you cant stay far and you arrive as the festivities are happening, you keeping yourself hidden and enjoying the festivities as much as you can until tragedy strikes.

CHAPTER V.

a tragedy that was gruesome with beasts and many slain. you feared of what was to come but you know that life will prevail. the king and his council have began interrogations as you wonder where not just you and your family stands, but your region stands in the eyes of ardora. you are hopeful and maybe its naive of you to believe but you can feel the sunlight begin to lower as the darkness grows around you.

— FREE INFORMATION;; 

She can be a bit vain, maybe it comes with being blessed by atesia or the fact that everything has somehow always been in her favor. She knows she is talented and isn't afraid to mention any and all ways to help with the stardust mines when giving the chance. she enjoys helping those less fortunate by any means possible. she cares deeply about the people of ardora and is a strong believe in the deities. malai can be very sarcastic and blunt. isn't one to sugar coat things ( if you're straight with her, she'll be the same with you ).

Ships came natural to her, whether being able to make friends real easy or jumping straight into a relationship with someone. with friends, she'll be loyal, the one to take care of you when sick, the one you should def call when need advice or if need someone to have your back. though the minute you cross her, its over between you both. with love, she loves the idea of love to a fault, maybe it comes from how easily many want to catch her attention but she loves the chase. once the fire dies down, she'll either dip before it gets serious or does something dumb to mess it up. just know that once its over, she's on to the next hot person she finds. but recently someone has caught her eye and she wonders if she should give in.

obsession ( taken by SUNGHO RYU ) ;; ever since sungho laid eyes upon you , he's been obsessed . the man of house ryu who is known as the demon of the sun , is a man no one believes holds any love within his dark heart and yet he's been obsessed with you since the two of you met as children . he's never wounded you , hurt you or any of that sort - instead he shows compassion , need and desire . however , do you want him ? a man who does unspeakable actions and believes he just because enerin receives his prayers ? you've kept your distance , tried to brush off every affection he shows and yet there's a darkness within your good heart which would love to dive deep into the darkness he offers . will you let yourself be consumed ? or is love with someone too close to the sun burning you alive ?
