Fliff Hubbinns entered the animal place and saw Ember. She waved, saying hi. "How are you? And who's that cutie in your arms?" She smiled.

|TOWN|
Aella opened her eyes, and stretched. She peeked out the window to see the sunrise. She quickly threw on her dress and apron. She walked down the street and unlocked her shop. She ran her eyes along the shelves to make sure everything was in place. She took a sign that said: ARUD BOOKSHOP and hung it in the window, along with an open sign. She had just gotten a new set of spellbooks, and hoped it would increase the business. She sat down at the counter, eating a pastry.

|TOWN|
Thea quickly strode down the streets, making sure everyone was obeying the laws. One wrong move, and the whole kingdom could be thrown off balance. She stopped in the middle of town, finding that most people were in their houses and shops. If shopkeepers wanted to close their shops at a reasonable time, they would open soon. She sat on a bench, pulling her cloak closer to her arms.

|TOWN|
Celso woke up, tumbling out of bed with a grumble. He fixed his disheveled har quickly, and ran out of his house. Thea's going to kill me! He thought. He was an hour late, he should've been on patrol awhile ago. He slowed to a stop and looked at the dawn sky. He adjusted his cloak and continued walking, almost wanting someone to break the law so he could get some excitement. The king and queen said they were going to make an announcement later today, and Celso was eager to see what it would be about.

|CASTLE|
Queen Dawn opened her eyes softly, and stepped out of bed. She pulled a maroon ballgown from her wardrobe. She looked around for her husband, and on finding he wasn't in the bedroom, smiled. She had despised her husband. She didn't marry him by choice, it was arranged. She slipped into her gown and shoes. She stepped out of her room and walked down the hallway towards the eating hall.

|TOWN OUTSKIRTS| (By castle)
King Arell swiftly walked to the horse pen. He hopped onto a thoroughbred and galloped towards town. After all, he needed to interact with the people. Even being near his wife made him claustrophobic. He felt that she tended to manipulate people to her linking. He watched the cold wind sway the grass, and created a small ball of light to help him see better. Even though the sun was rising, it hadn't gone over the treeline. Only the town was lit up by the sun.

Re: The World of Averandi {Roleplay}
 

"Aw Ash is so cute!" She chuckled, inclining her head. "I'm just here to look around at the dragons. I might adopt a cute one!" She winked.

ANNOUNCEMENT
The queen cleared her throat as she pulled out the scroll with her decrees written in it. She smiled, thinking that these would surely keep her kingdom under control. Her husband was out to go check on her- their people. She spoke loudly on her balcony, seeing a crowd of lowly townspeople at her feet. "In response to the recent crime rise, there is a reminder of the laws. They are as follows: No same-sex couples, no mating outside of race, no stealing, murder, or vandalism, shopkeepers must have their shops open for eight hours, and no one no one is allowed out during curfew except dreamwatchers. Curfew is from 11 P.M. to 4 A.M. In order to keep outlaws to a minimum, more laws are being enforced. They are as follows: Any act of rebellion or treason will result in immediate hanging (OOC: your character won't die if you don't want them to), if any weapons are found in the possession of darklings they will be sent to the dungeon for life in imprisonment. Any failure to follow these laws will result in necessary punishment."

Dawn sneered and walked back into the castle, skin crawling from interacting with lowly people. Even her servants were cleaner than them. Queen Dawn Mirasol walked past her daughter's room. If anyone found out about her, she wouldn't hesitate to put them to death. No one could find out about her mixed-breed daughter. Dawn told herself that the gene came from Arell's side of the family. She couldn't accept anything else.

Aella finished eating her pastry and began sweeping her bookshop. As she was about to push the dust out the back door, something shiny in the dust pile caught her eye. She picked it up. It was an emerald ring with a silver band. She held it, thinking about what she should do. I could get accused of stealing... but this ring could keep my bookshop open for years if I sold it to the black market dealers. As long as no one sees it... Aella shoved it into her pocket and began sweeping again, quickly looking around to see if anybody had seen her. @Cheshire cat

Re: The World of Averandi {Roleplay}
 

Lalia returned from a hunting trip she had a fox skin and three rabbits strapped around her waist to keep them from being stolen and also to have her hands free . She noticed the bookshop and smiled her eyes lit up she was outside the doorway she knocked three times even though the sign said open
" hello may I enter? " she asked she noticed that The shopkeeper was busy so she waited .

Re: The World of Averandi {Roleplay}
 

"Hmm?" Aella swiveled around. She never had customers! "Oh, yes! Come in, have a look around. We've got lots of books! Spellbooks, cookbooks, fiction, non-fiction, biographies. Lots of stuff." Her heart was beating quickly. Ever since her father had passed away and given her the shop, business had gone down. The customers had enjoyed the eccentric old man, but didn't know her. She lost a lot of business, so she sounded over-enthusiastic. She smiled and put the broom in the corner. "Let me know if you need anything. Is there a specific title you're looking for?"

Re: The World of Averandi {Roleplay}
 

Lalia smiled and walked in she looked at the shelves and listened to what the shopkeeper was saying she walked up to a shelf and her purple eyes scanned each book " I'll let you know " she said with a giggle at the enthusiasm that the shopkeeper had . She did love books but she loved to hunt even more and fight , her hand reached up to grab a book and turned it around to look at the title
Romeo and Juliet she smiled softly and sighed she did like some love stories . " how much? " she asked and held the book up

Re: The World of Averandi {Roleplay}
 

"Eight averos (same as dollars lol). For that. The hardcover is fifteen. Is that all you need today? You're a sunling, yes? I have a book of sunling spells for everyday occasions. Teaches you new ways to use your power. If you don't want it that's fine too. If you're looking for a pet there's a new shop across the path. The owner is really nice. Anyway, you can come this way to pay," Aella rambled on, leading her to the counter. She saw the cover: Romeo and Juliet by Shakespeare. "Love story, huh? That was a good book. My father would read it to me when I was young. Sorry." She looked away, blushing. She didn't want to impose her life on her customers, that's what drove them away in the first place.

Re: The World of Averandi {Roleplay}
 

Lalia laughed softly she did look like a cold hunter but she was opposite of it although when she is in battle or hunting her personality changed rather quickly . " it's quite alright and yes I am a sunling but I use my abilities less then most . I use them when ever they're needed " she said and set the book on the counter she looked down and smiled then nodded when the shopkeeper mentioned the book. She reached in her pocket to grab the coins and placed them on the counter " do people come here often ? Looks rather lonely here .. " she asked

Re: The World of Averandi {Roleplay}
 

"No, it's pretty quiet around here. The kingdom is much smaller than it used to be because of the new laws. It's just... I don't know. But this place doesn't get much business now. There aren't much other job choices out there either. I suppose I could add some stuff to my chop instead of just books, but I don't know what," Aella said, taking the coins and placing the book into the other girl's hands. "I didn't quite catch your name. I'm Aella. Nice to meet you," she said and stuck out her hand.

Re: The World of Averandi {Roleplay}
 

Lalia smiled she grabbed the book and placed it underneath her right arm and shook Aella hand
" mine's Lalia and a pleasure as well. Well you could always add Greek mythology I find that rather interesting , like Artemis fowl , Athena .
Etc . " she said she did like to meet new people
" then I'll make sure to stop by " she said with a smile ( I just wanna add some drama ...like some one stealing )

Re: The World of Averandi {Roleplay}
 

Nova walked around the place,the young teen now worried. Would they blame me for stealing for being a darkling?! Would they frame me for something?! I'm only 14 this isn't fair! Just because some of us are Darklings doesn't make us different!! Nova' s mind screamed all these thoughts at her and all she could do is awkwardly shiver at the thought of being sent to the dungeon or worse hanged. She was in an alley. She didn't have a family or place so the curfew was the biggest problem for her.

Re: The World of Averandi {Roleplay}
 

"That's true." She replied. When the dragon was taken out, she put her hands on her cheeks and her wings flapped slightly in excitement. "Awwww...Its A-dor-ABLE!" She smiled. She reached a hand out to pet it. "I love it. I think I'm able to train it." She looked up at the shop keeper. "How much?"
Fluff heard the queen's words, as she nodded slightly at them, accepting the laws. She was a Dreamwatcher after all.

Re: The World of Averandi {Roleplay}
 

"Thank you, and I'll consider your suggestion. It's nice to have regular around here. Aella wrote down a reminder to order some new books and think of some better advertising. She mainly had classics, but more modern (well, not modern but you know what I mean) works of fiction. "The more books, the better."
(Like who stealing from who? Someone from Aella?)

Re: The World of Averandi {Roleplay}
 

( like stealing from the bookstore maybe lalia can show her skills?)
Lalia nodded And smiled
" so are you the only one who takes care of this place ? ... Surely some one helps you " she said and tilted her head still holding the book in her hands she didn't have anything else to do at the moment so a conversation would be nice or a friend . She tapped the spine of the book she looked at the shelves awaiting an answer .

Re: The World of Averandi {Roleplay}
 

(Like Lalia steal, or someone else and she fights them off? I'm good with either one)
"Nope. Only me. I haven't really thought of hiring help because I get very little customers. My father owned this shop, and he passed it on to me," Aella answered, fiddling with the ring in her pocket. What should I do? Should I ask her if it's hers? But what if it's not and she takes it? But aren't I stealing it anyway... so which is worse? Aella sighed and pulled the ring out from her pocket. "Is this yours? I found it on the ground and wondered," Aella started. But the ring was there before Lalia was... whatever. Too late now.

Re: The World of Averandi {Roleplay}
 

Some one else stealing )
Lalia looked at the ring and tilted her head she gave it a good long look it did look beautiful but nothing seemed to click in place , she shook her head and shrugged looked back at Aella " no nothing seems to snap in place but the old saying finders keepers " she said and some other person walked in he looked rather rugged he noticed the ring and walked up to a near by bookshelf . Lalia narrowed her eyes he seemed a bit suspicious . The man walked a bit closer near where the ring was he held a book from the shelf and placed it on the counter " how much? " the guy asked. Lalia just didn't feel right her purple eyes Looking quite deadly her hand was inching to her dagger .

Re: The World of Averandi {Roleplay}
 

Re: The World of Averandi {Roleplay}
 

Aella quickly shoved the ring back into her pocket and looked at the hard man. She glanced at the title of the book: Frog and Toad. It was obvious had pulled a random book off the shelf, but Aella didn't say anything. As his eyes darted around the room, Aella looked around for anything that she could manipulate using her magic. But there was no water or plants nearby, so she clutched a frail piece of wood beneath the counter, praying he was just here to buy the book. After all, the wood wouldn't do anything against him... it was probably going to break in her hand any second now. Aella gulped, "Five averos. One-tenth of a silver coin." She was unsure why she had added that last part in. Maybe it was that she wanted to show him that nothing in the store was worth much. Everything in here is super cheap. Everything... but... Aella felt the ring in her pocket, and she pushed it deeper into the pocket, making it settle at the bottom. She hoped he hadn't seen it.

Re: The World of Averandi {Roleplay}
 

The guy nodded and scratched the back of his neck where Lalia just stayed near by in the store she looked at the man from the corner of her eye now looking like an actual hunter and seemed kinda frightening . The man searched for some money in his pockets and sighed his head was down
" aw man sorry but it seems I left my change at home! Mind if I go get it? " he asked his hand reached for the book and held it now raised his eyebrow
" I'll be back " he said Lalia bared her teeth she held onto her dagger

Re: The World of Averandi {Roleplay}
 

When the man was out the door she said, "at least he didn't steal anything important. Steal? I mean, we don't know if he stole it but... how likely is it that he'll give it back? If he doesn't we could report it to the dreamcatchers..." Aella said. She was unsure of what to do. It was her first encounter with something like this. She quickly looked around the store to see if anything was taken. Calm down, he only left to get his money. He'll be right back, she told herself. But she still feared the worst.

Re: The World of Averandi {Roleplay}
 

The man smiled and started walking out the door then he full blown ran off . Lalia growled she set her book down now aiming her dagger at the man who looked back and was wide eyed , Lalia threw the dagger at the man ankle causing him to trip and have a poor excuse for a scream . Lalia grabbed the book from the man " next time make sure there isn't a hunter and fighter in the store ok? " she said and walked back in the store and set the same book on the counter now looking up at aella " here " she said with a soft smile .

Re: The World of Averandi {Roleplay}
 

Aella took the book with shaking hands, "you didn't have to do that. It wasn't worth much anyway. I don't want you to get in trouble because of me." She sighed. "What motivates people to steal? Sure, we all need money, but why steal that book? He literally took the thing with the least value. It's like he stole it to practice, or as a trial run. I don't know anymore. With our corrupt queen and horrible laws, nothing is going well in Averandi." Aella looked out the window, thinking about what she had just said.

Re: The World of Averandi {Roleplay}
 

(Open? Do you mind if a dreamwatcher bullies you a bit? Nothing serious, just like searching the house and some words exchanged?)

Re: The World of Averandi {Roleplay}
 

Lalia walked back up to the man to retrieve her dagger and sighed she walked back inside the store as she put her dagger away. She noticed the shopkeepers fear when she grabbed the book back , she grabbed her own book and looked at Aella " ...but it is yours He shouldn't steal it. He should have looked at who the people he was gonna have to deal with first before taking it.... " she said and looked down her eyes had a look of slight sadness in them . She wasn't frightening or she seemed not to be frightening but her scars and strong look didn't help that . But she couldn't help but wonder if Aella was afraid now
is she afraid of me now? That I threw my dagger at a theif? How else was I supposed to stop him??

Re: The World of Averandi {Roleplay}
 

Aella sighed as she put the book back on the shelf. "I know he shouldn't have stolen it, but it really wasn't worth that much trouble. I just don't want to have you go to the queen for that..." she said, unsure of how to continue. Don't worry about it, she's a sunling. Honored by the people, including the queen. She'd get off lightly, if charged at all. "Should we take the thief to the dreamwatchers?" Aella asked lightly, wondering what Lalia's response would be.

Re: The World of Averandi {Roleplay}
 

Lalia still looked down she heard what Aella said she now looked at her
" it's the right thing to do " she said and looked at the man who held his ankle he hissed in pain " she tried to kill me! Kill me! I think my ankle is broken! " he yelled . Lalia growled and sighed she walked up to the man and grabbed him by his shirt collar " shall we? " she asked still holding her book

Re: The World of Averandi {Roleplay}
 

Aella was internally laughing but knew it was probably not okay to do so, so she kept it in. She watched the happenings before her silently, and hoping the man would learn his lesson. He shouldn't have to spend his life in prison... but he couldn't steal either. The easiest thing for him would be to accept he had done something wrong, and never do it again. But Aella knew this was unlikely, so she let what happened, happen.

Re: The World of Averandi {Roleplay}
 

The man kept saying nonsense " I think my ankle is broken! She broke it! She's insane ! " the man said and Lalia rolled her eyes she tossed him in the middle of the street then he grunted . " will you be quiet your still alive now leave before the queen finds you " Lalia said her eyes narrowed looking deadly again. The man ran off but he did trip every few seconds . She thought he learned his lesson she now looked back at Aella
" so..... What you wanna do now? " she asked

Re: The World of Averandi {Roleplay}
 

Re: The World of Averandi {Roleplay}
 

Aella shrugged. "I don't know... maybe if you had time... you could teach me to fight? So I could defend myself," she said hopefully. Ever since she was younger, she had wanted to be able to do everything. She had wanted to dance, read, write, fight, play an instrument, sing, and everything else that anyone could hope for. As she had gotten older, her childish dream had faded. But now that there was an opportunity for her to get one step closer... she had to take it, or at least try. She remembered what her father had told her. He said to have realistic expectations, or she would be disappointed. All the girls her age told her to be content with what she had. But Aella never really shook that hope off.

Re: The World of Averandi {Roleplay}
 

Celso walked up to a house known for being home to a family of darklings. He sneered as he saw a woman wearing a mask inside the home. He pounded on the door, "Mandatory search! Open the door, or I'll open it for you!" Sure it wasn't in his job description to search homes, but he honestly was scared of the darklings. He felt the need to 'put them in their place' so that he didn't feel threatened. Coupled with his horrible personality, this turned into prejudice and led to hate. The Alpha Shadows scared him... he thought they were unpredictable and outrageous. He saw no cause behind it, like all the rest of the ignorant people that made up his friend group. He rolled his eyes as he waited for the people inside to respond.

Re: The World of Averandi {Roleplay}
 

She smiled wide she loves to fight and maybe she hoped she can pass her skills down to some one .
" of course! I can teach you to hunt as well maybe give you a few tips on how to actually stalk your prey " she said her voice was laced with excitement . She remembered when she first gotten her shield and dagger her father said that there's nothing wrong with a lady learning how to fight . And it did come to great use for protection and other things .Her shield ...She looked behind herself to see her trusty protector it was a bit old made of metal painted red with a black symbol in the middle "when do you wish to start?" She asked now looking back at Aella
