Fantasy A World Hidden Behind The Wall [OPEN]

[That_Irish_Person]

~In Character~
Things have been rather quiet on St Georges Terrace, it is the next blue moon, the time where Arkenstoneia receives her new humans. A black matte sky is painted onto Dublin’s sky, only the moon and the stars can be seen in the sky. The moon of course is full, giving a faint glow on the wet roads in Ireland. The echo of dog’s barks can be heard through the streets as the goblins scatter everywhere. Everyone is asleep, only the occasional drunk person roamed the streets and eventually passed out on someone else’s front lawn or driveway. The human’s completely unaware of what was going to happen.

Meanwhile, in Arkenstoneia the guardians stood eagerly near the entrance, the blue moon lit up lagoons and oceans. Blue moon festivals were coming to an end with fire-works or songs, a few stray drunks wondering around here and there but it was not every day that they could celebrate the blue moon. Soft sounds of music and cheering were seeping through valleys and waters. Beautiful yellow lights were used, tables and tables of food were almost empty and the beer almost gone. Mischievous teens fled into new parts of the forests to upset neighbours or to explore abandoned places.

The world was at peace, after the fireworks some went home to their beds while others partied some more, and some just stayed behind to clean up. At last, the four children walked through the flowered entrance.

The moon ended as the sun took over, although two moons could still be seen. Movement erupted through Arkenstoneia as everyone greeted the day, although some slept more because of the busy night. Some were eager to meet the humans while others weren’t.

[Gravitational Force]

A rat scurries down an alley, making its way towards an apple core. Suddenly a long arm darts down from above and snatches it up. There's a squeal and crunching sounds as it's devoured. Jack lowers himself from the corner of the alley roof he'd folded himself into. His true form is better for hunting, but he can't let anyone see him in it. They never understand. The rat should last him long enough to find another meal, there was plenty of food scraps to feed the vermin population here. Looking around Jack sees there isn't any other likely prey, so he changes to his human guise and a black-haired boy wearing a battered top hat exits the alley and heads towards the gate where the humans were supposedly going to be coming through. There shouldn't be any risk in doing so as long as he was careful.
Jack makes his way through the town alleys, stopping occasionally to revert to his true form long enough to snatch up a rat, cockroach, or other tasty treat that wouldn't be missed. He'd had to run from one town after he'd eaten a cat. Humans apparently valued animal lives on a scale. Boogeymen didn't frighten vermin, in fact they seemed to draw them in, likely to ensure a steady food supply. Cats, horses, cows, and other animals ended up getting spooked, and people tended to go by their opinions. Jack wondered what if things were different in the other world. He stopped momentarily to steal a pair of socks off a washline. His own were full of holes and the line held more than enough for the people living there. He stopped just before reaching the entrance to pull them on, feeling the relief in his feet.

 

[Jasmine Dragon]

Vysaeri's thick silver hair draped down and around her face, almost shielding it, as she made her last few steps in the city that she had grown up in and never left. Just before reaching the gates of the grand city of Nagronthond, she peered over her shoulder to get one last look, her wide blue eyes absorbing what would be her last glance for quite some time. Doubt suddenly washed through her. Was she making the right decision? Leaving everything that she had known for all of her life to pursue something that she wasn't even sure of? Well she knew one thing for sure- not much of a life awaited her here; perhaps there was somewhere else. She kept reminding herself of this as she faced forward once again and made her way through the gates and out of the city. All that she carried with her was a backpack with a few coins, simple dresses, food, and a mind full of hope. Uncertain hope, but hope nonetheless.

She wasn't quite sure where she was going, but kept heading forward. She weighed her options- the grand city of Arkenstoneia which she had heard much of throughout her life, the mermaid lagoon where someone might be able to help her with her abilities, or perhaps somewhere else? She wasn't really sure, but kept a steady pace as she made her way into the unknown.
