[DawnsEarlyLight]

Spoiler: Core Plot

Long ago, in the days when swords and sorcery reigned in the known world, one man's greed and jealousy threatened to undermine the kingdoms of Avalon and Tesorra. Once upon a time, a respected advisor to the King of Avalon became strongly attracted to his king's daughter as the young princess became eligible for the throne. The advisor's affections, however, were not returned, because although the princess regarded him as a close friend, she simply did not love him beyond that extent. In reality, the princess' heart lay with the Prince of Tesorra, who was likewise in love with the Princess of Avalon.

Undeterred, the advisor appealed directly to his king, to betroth the princess to him, only to face disappointment when his king declined the request. The king was not blind to his daughter's true feelings, nor did he overlook the opportunity to forge an unstoppable alliance between Avalon and Tesorra. In light of this combination, the Avalonian king concluded that the only sensible thing to do would be to betroth his daughter to the Tesorran prince instead. News of this arrangement was quick to reach the envious advisor, whose outrage at the decision would permanently shatter his loyalty to the royal court of Avalon.

One month after the betrothal was announced, an assassin snuck into the royal palace of Tesorra and fired his crossbow at the prince during a masquerade ball. Thankfully, the shot failed to hit its mark and the would-be murderer was quickly arrested, but the coward quickly revealed the name of his employer in exchange for leniency. It was thus discovered that the wicked advisor had hired the assassin, and as punishment the advisor was banished from both Avalon and Tesorra on pain of death, never to be seen or heard from for some time afterward.

But the treacherous advisor's rage would only grow worse during his exile, during which time he delved into the black arts and secretly gathered a steady number of followers - later known as the Silver Hands - whom he led to believe that he was himself a deity in mortal form. Convincing the Silver Hands that the princess was chosen by fate to be his mortal bride, the advisor easily persuaded them to invade Avalon just as the princess' wedding was due to take place. There they ransacked and fought their way through all in their path, before finally kidnapping the young couple and taking them away to parts unknown.

Since then, Avalon and Tesorra have both banded together against the Silver Hands in their search for their two young heirs. The Silver Hands, however, have all but vanished since the kidnapping, and some say that they are merely biding their time in preparation for an even bigger strike against both countries. Whatever the case, the royal families of both countries are now recruiting would-be heroes of all sorts to rescue their two heirs and put an end to the threat of the Silver Hands once and for all.

Personality:
Noelle is an optimist who is never afraid to take risks. She is fun-loving, energetic and likes to look at the bright side of things. She is determined, hardworking and once her mind is set on something, nothing can stop her. But because of her persistent personality, she often overexerts herself. Noelle has quite the large appetite but her favorite things to eat are strawberries and chocolate. She'll eat almost anything that's got straw berries and or chocolate in it. She also seems to have a obsession with stuff animals she has huge collection of them. Even now she collects them. Though she doesn't look it Noelle actually does have a bit of tom boy side to her. It was more obvious when she was kid, she was quite the wild child. As she got older though she became more girly but she still got that tomboyish nature about her. Noelle can also be childish, stubborn and easily angered at times.

Brief History:
Noelle in the beginning had pretty good childhood. Noelle was quite the wild child growing up. She was quite the tom boy and always getting into a trouble. But her parents were easy going and they weren't really the strict type. They were happy their little girl had a lot of energy was happy and that was all that really mattered to them. But their easy back attitude wouldn't last forever. On her 10th birthday Noelle was kidnapped. She had been held hostage for 5 days before she was rescued. Her parents practically lost their minds when this happened and when they found her they became very strict in her up bringing.

Noelle was suppose to start learning magic but her parents forbid it saying it was to dangerous. Most of the time she found herself locked up in her room and whenever she wasn't in her she had bunch of guards following her everywhere she went and never really got any privacy. She lost contact with her old friends the only person she could really call her friend was the royal advisor's son. Noelle also never got to go anywhere. She was never allowed at the balls or the kingdom's festivals. She was always stuck in her room during the events. As Noelle got older her personality began to change, she calmed down a bit and became more girly then she had originally been. Which her parents were happy about, they figured this meant she didn't have any of that adventurous spirit anymore. But they were very wrong, she did have it just wasn't as noticeable.

Despite never being able to go anywhere she managed to convince her parents to allow her to go to the Prince's birthday ball. She argued that her not going would seem like an insult and be terribly rude if only the King and Queen showed and didn't bother to bring their daughter. At first they weren't having it but after thinking about it they had to admit she raised a good point, but if she was to go Noelle had to follow all of their rules. She agreed just happy to finally go out and have some fun for once. When she was at the ball of course she had tons of guards surrounding her and watching her every move which in turn kind of turned/scared people off so she wasn't able to mingle like she had hoped but then something unexpected happen. The Prince asked her to dance. Not that it was exactly odd but with other people keeping their distance she never thought him of all people would approach her. In the beginning she couldn't hide the annoyance on her face with her guards just staring the two of them down. She sighed and prepared for the dance to come to an end but instead she found herself being lead to the doors getting lost in in the crowd of dancing people. The prince lead her to the garden and they both sat on the edge of the fountain and from then on they talked and got to know each other. At the time Noelle had not noticed the prince's interest she was completely oblivious to that, at the time she saw it as her making close friend.

The two got closer as time went on and Noelle started to fall for him. When she realized her feelings for him she became nervous when around him and would sometimes purposely avoid him. She was confident he had no idea of her feelings but Noelle didn't realize just how obvious it truly was. Noelle's parents were a bit cautious at first with Vitus but he had seem to won them over. Noelle was the first to voice her feelings even though it was completely by accident. It happened at her birthday ball she was turning 19. Vitus of course had come but during the ball she noticed a lot of the noble girls at the ball were very interested in him and she watched as he was interacting with some of them and started to feel jealous. Annoyed she walked out of the ball room and into the hall and just a few mins later Vitus was at her side wondering why she left and seemed so annoyed. She gave him irritated look but then said there was nothing wrong and thta she didn't want to talk about it. But he continue to pry at her and then suddenly she yelled and basically admitted she liked him. Her face had become bright red when she realized the words that had came out of her mouth and was about ready to die. She laughed nervously and try to act like what she said was no big deal and try to leave but he wouldn't let her back into the ball room and at that moment he confessed her liked her as well. From that point on the two continue to grow closer romantically and not long after that night Vitus proposed to her and they became engaged. her parents approved of it though her friend who was now advisor did not.

After the attempt assation at Vitus life and learning who was behind it broke Noelle's heart. She had seen him as friend someone she trusted and as mush as she hated him for what he did a part of her couldn't fully hate him cause every time she would think about the past some of that would wash away. At the day of her wedding however Noelle and Vitus was kidnapped and she no longer recognizes the person she once called friend.

(wip) THE EXILED ADVISOR OF AVALON

.𖥔 ݁ ˖𖤐♱𖤐.𖥔 ݁ ˖


Name
Viktor Verstand

Age
22

Race
Half Elf, Half Human

Place of Origin
Avalon

Social Status
Exiled Advisor for Avalon

Class
Wizard

Class Specialty
Dark Magic

Weapon(s)
Staff of Wisdom, which also doubles as his family's heirloom.

Non-Combat Talents
Alchemy, Calligraphy, Diplomacy, Strategy, Medical practice, Law, Leadership, Piano, Violin

Appearance
Viktor is a fair skinned, white haired young man with locks that trail halfway down his back. He is lean, muscular, and tall— stacking up to a towering 6'6". His dark, arched brows frame his deep set, red eyes, and his face is angular with protruding cheekbones and hollow cheeks. He also has thin lips and blonde lashes, dainty enough to make him look ethereal in the daylight, but eerie enough to look inhumane in the dark. His gaze is captivating yet piercing, and his small irises make his stare all the more penetrating.

Personality
Viktor, being the ex-advisor of Avalon, still carries the hallmark traits of a great advisor: Dignified, self assured, intuitive, wise, composed, hard working, logical, practical, and diplomatic. And while he may be elegant— he is undeniably languid, sarcastic, and angsty. In many ways, you could even call him neurotic or immature, yet his unabashed resolve and conviction leads you to believe he is still a young, aspiring man of 22. Perhaps, he is self absorbed with his impassioned limerence towards the princess; even then, he is also observant and considerate of those around him— borderlining that of an empath of a dark triad. Moreover, Viktor— having grown up tied to his family's image— has no regard for those around him unless he finds it fitting to be well mannered and quaint.

Brief History
Having grown up an only child, and the only possible heir to the Avalon advisor legacy (the Verstands), Viktor was forced to resemble a diplomat from a very young age, trained by his father Walter Verstand to be an "exquisite young lad". Young Viktor was taught literature, fencing, sword fighting, arcane magic, calligraphy, law, leadership, medicine, anatomy, psychology, war strategy, politics, musical instruments, etiquette, and more— all in an effort to shape him to be the perfect right hand man, starting at the age of 5. Carrying the expectations of his entire family lineage on his back— Viktor quickly matured, and learned how to anticipate others' needs before his own. Around the same time (around his formative years), he befriended many of his father's friends' children at a young age; unfortunately, they were aristocratic and condescending, and made it a point to invite him to outings only to bully him when he arrived, particularly for his "constant, lifeless training". This made Viktor to grow very reserved and closed off; however, he met Noelle Heart (the Avalonian king's daughter) at the age of 8, and she prodded him to open up to her through mere kindness alone. Needless to say, he formed a crush on her very early on. Viktor eventually grew up alongside her throughout their teenage years, and watching her overprotected lifestyle only made him sympathize with her and fall for her more, wishing only for her to quench her thirst for adventure and passion. All in all, he acted not only as her best friend, but the one she confided in.

Even so, his position as the princess's best friend would not seem to change in the ongoing years of their friendship, watching the princess befriend and eventually fall for Vitus (the prince of Tesorra). Besides that, Viktor faced many challenges growing up, one of which was the turmoil between his estranged human mother and elven father. When his father finally passed, Viktor quickly assumed the role of the advisor for the entire Avalonian kingdom. In a word, he didn't assimilate to his role well at all, and became exiled for scheming to romantically pursue the princess. His friendship with Noelle and Vitus was consequentally shattered, so his resolve for love grew hungry, manic, and vengeful. At the height of his shame— in a fit of rage and resentment— he vowed to himself to acquire Noelle's love no matter the cost, even if it costed a life.

https://i0.wp.com/thefanboyseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Neuvillette.jpg?resize=1080,2160&ssl=1


Personality: Vitus is calm and collected when it comes to the appearance that he shows his people and family. He never falters in his duty, and he rarely shows any emotion to people he doesn't trust. He is the absolute embodiment of a perfect gentleman, and he even takes the time to teach others how to become like him. However, he is a hard worker, and even does physical labor in the city to help his people. He has even been rumored to have gone to a town that had been devastated by a flood and helped them rebuild. Behind closed doors though he can be seen as a different person. He worries about his kingdom, and how he is going to rule it. He even questions himself if he is worthy to actually take over the throne when his father dies. He would love to live his life away from his responsibilities but knows that that is an impossibility. Maybe that is why he is envious of his brother and wishes him to at least live without this burden.


Brief History: Vitus is the first-born son of the King and Queen of the kingdom of Tesorra. From the moment he was born his family saw that he was a bit different. His skin color and eyes were a lighter color than the rest of his family. They didn’t know why, but that didn’t change the fact that they had big hops for the child. As his hair began to grow it turned from blond to pure white. The King and Queen feared that someone put a curse on the child, but that was the furthest from the truth. He had just been born with the blessing of the water god.

Yet they wouldn’t know this until later in his life. Five years later the Queen became pregnant again bearing another son. He was different from his brother since he had a normal complexion, eyes, and hair. This made his family even more worried about him. However, if it was a curse then it would have manifested more as he grew, and that was not the case. So, the king and Queen just left it as it was. When he became the age of learning. They brought in private tutors to teach him, and when the time came his younger brother as well.

His brother was freer spirited than he was so he would not force his younger brother through the same grueling education he had taken. He even helped him from time to time to skip classes so he could live the life he wanted. Vitus believed that his brother would become his own man in time, and that he didn’t need to worry about the affairs of the kingdom.

As time passed Vitus grew into a fine young man. He even didn’t show fear when an assassin came for his life. That attempt failed. In fact, the assassin decided to protect him from the others that came for him. The King wanted to execute the assassin. However, Vitus was of a different mindset. He wanted to have the assassin become his sword and protect him. As well as teach him more about the sword. That was when they found out about his connection to the god of water.

The Elf Liriel saw the power the child held, and where that power originated from. This caused the kingdom to calibrate. This was because they worship the god of water, and they believed the prince to be his incarnation. Yet the prince didn’t let them treat him any different. He told the people that he was not the incarnation. The water god must have had a reason to share his power with him. He continued to learn and grow, and then one day the King announced a ball where he would be inviting some other countries to attend.

By this time Vitus was sixteen years old and was becoming the leader and man his family wanted him to be. During the ball he had dressed in a regal outfit of gold and purple and was standing by his father's throne watching the events of the dance. He had been uninterested in the event until he saw one person. She was beautiful. In a dress of white, pink and silver. Her long hair glistened in the light. This was the first time he had seen someone so beautiful. Deciding to make the first move he left his father's side and approached the young lady asking her for a dance.

As he watched her reaction, he thought it was cute. She seemed excited and a bit taken back by the request. It was like she had never been asked to dance before, let alone been to a ball like this. He smiled at her, and she politely introduced herself and agreed to the dance. He introduced himself as well then held out his hand to take hers since she agreed. They danced together in perfect synch, though Vitus could feel eyes on him, and as they danced, he realized that a couple of men were watching them in annoyance. They must have been her bodyguards, and they were not happy with him. He could also feel his partner's apprehension about being watched, and he had a plan. Maybe if they were alone, she would relax.

So, he used the dance, and moved her closer to the doors, and when the guards were distracted, he slipped through the doors and led the young lady to the garden. He wanted her to enjoy herself, as well as get to know her. He set her on the edge of the fountain, and he began speaking to her. He immediately knew she was not interested in him the same way that he was, but at least he would be able to get to know her.

It was too short a time before the guards found them speaking to one another and interjected. Taking Noelle back to the ball. However, when he returned the young lady was no longer there. It seemed the guards took her away, but he knew where they would be going. He was wanting the friendship he had gained with her to continue. Though he didn’t know if it would go further than that, he would at least try. As time passed, he continued to speak with Noelle and every now and then found time to visit.

Appearance: 1d89b8378aa592448faa22c9927ac53d.jpg (566×800) (pinimg.com)

Personality: Liriel is quiet and rarely will start a conversation. He has never been known as someone that has a lot to say. Yet he will converse with people when needed or in some idle conversation. He will not talk if the conversation is not something he finds relevant. He is just not one to start a conversation. He is extremely loyal to the royal family and has a high respect for the crown prince.

Brief History: Nyx was born to a normal Dark elf family. However, he was born with different colored eyes from the rest of his race. Where the normal eye color is either shades of red or purple his was light blue. Because of his eyes he was considered a cursed child, and a bad omen for the tribe of Dark elves. So, his parents decided to instead of killing the child to leave him in the dark forest. Because of this he never knew who his biological parents were. However, he was found by a lone Dark Elf that was passing through the forest.

They picked up the child and saw his eyes. They figured that he was cursed, and because of that he might be useful to the order. The Elder agreed when he saw the child and decided to raise him. Giving the child the name Nyx Nocturne. As he grew, they found that Nyx had an affinity for dark magic. As well as an affinity to elemental magic. Because of that they worked with the child to combine the magic and create a magic that was all his own. They gave him the class of spellblade because of his abilities.

Nyx trained for 400 years to master the art of stealth, magic, weapon mastery, and assassination. On his 400th birthday he was given an assignment, and he passed this test with flying colors. He also earned the respect of the whole order and was dubbed their best assassin. 116 years later a man came to the order covered in a cloak. He came to hire them to assassinate the young prince of the kingdom of Tesorra. The mysterious man paid them well to kill the child. So, the order sent Nyx as well as three other assassins to get the job done.

This assignment killed two birds with one stone. They were tired of the kingdom coming after them. So, this would teach them a lesson, and fulfill the hooded man’s contract. The assassins set out for the kingdom, and when they reached it made their plan, and executed them that night. As soon as the four assassins entered the castle, they split up to look for their target. Who knew how long they had been searching but the first to find the target was Nyx.

He saw the sleeping child and smiled as he quietly approached the target. When he got close enough, he brought up his dagger to sink it into the child's chest when he woke up. Nyx froze as the child looked up at him. His eyes were kind, and full of strength. Nyx had expected the child to scream, but that was not what happened. He just stared and smiled as his assailant. This caused the Dark Elf to step back.

The child swung his legs out of the bed and stood up. Showing the assassin more courage than he had seen in any of his previous targets. They all showed fear and begged for their lives, but this child did none of that. This one act made Nyx falter. The young prince then told the assassin he forgave him for what he was about to do. He wondered why a child like him would show courage instead of fear. Why would he choose forgiveness over hate? The child closed his eyes waiting for the final blow that never came.

However, the other assassins found the room, and Nox decided to protect the child from the others. He was outnumbered, and by the time he was able to kill the others he had sustained serious injuries. He passed out from the blood loss. By the time he awoke he fully expected to be in a prison cell. However, he was in bed with someone tending to his wounds. The maid that was watching over the elf left the room to inform the King and Prince that he had awoken. The healer was still changing his bandages when the King and young Prince arrived.

The prince looked at the assassin with a smile on his face, and his father the king looked at him with a stern expression. The King spoke to the assassin thanking him for saving his son, and as the conversation continued the King made the assassin an offer. If he was to serve his family and watch over his son, they would forgive him of his sins against the kingdom. Nyx agreed since he already turned his back on the order.

The King bestowed upon Nyx a new name, Liriel Baenre. From that day forward he decided that he would never go back to that kind of life, and only use his skills for the royal family. He took the prince under his wing and taught him the way of the sword. As time went by the prince became like family to him, and so did the rest of the family. This included the prince's younger brother.

Then it happened. He was unable to protect the prince from being kidnapped, and he blames himself for not being by his side at that time. He quickly volunteered to go and rescue the prince. He would be willing to lay down his life if needed to protect the one of the only people he considered family.

Romantic Interests: None
Other Notes: The forest he called home for most of his life is known as the Crystal Forest. This was because the leaves of the trees reflected both the sun and moon light and they were crystalen in appearance. That was from the outside. On the inside it is a dark forest that no one likes to enter. This was because of the wild beast that had made this place their home, and they were excellent hunters in the pitch blackness that was the forest. That is why the assassins' order made this their home. No one would dare enter the forest if they valued their lives. They used the beasts to train. Theory homes were made in the treetops, where it would be safer. However, in this forest it was kill or be killed, and there were always people watching in shifts over the village.
