Thread: Vigilance (with MysteriousD)

The Kingdom of Goldwoods... at first glance, it was a rather modest kingdom, known for its lovely gold-colored forests, its access to crystal caves, beautiful scenary and having the largest literate populace on the continent. However, beneath its exterior laid power. The Power of Magic. For Goldwoods was a kingdom of magicians. Founded as a small village of magicians, it grew in power as various groups and peoples flocked to it and soon it became a surprisingly powerful kingdom, with the Royal family possessing obscure yet completely powerful magicks, lost since the ancient days when the Gods ruled the lands. However, people have begun taken more notice of Goldwoods, wanting to possess that magic for themselves. While the various different mages and the somewhat odd group of mercernaries who lived in the area have been enough in protecting the lands, King and Queen Vendrix they decided they needed to find a bodyguard for their oldest, Diego. The Princes were pretty different in their approaches, attitudes and expertise. Diego was a scholar and always possessed an interest in the magical arts while his brother preferred more physical activities. Despite this, their parents loved them both. His brother did possess magic, albeit in a more subtle manner that suited his physical style while Diego was just a resevoir of poweful magic yet volatile. Like taking every storm to have existed and bottling it up. Diego could defend himself pretty well, but he was prone to potentially tapping into too much of his magic and causing large amounts of destruction. This along with the fact that this unique capability is why he needed a bodyguard. They sent their younger son, Sebastian, to find someone. Through his contacts, he reached out to a legendary fighter up in the north, a woman named Flame. Diego was told about her, but only the much they did though. Diego had been accepting of his parents decision and he only hoped the person was friendly. He was told by the Chancellor he would meet her in the morning and so he went to bed. He was a doughy figure. For some reason, when he ate, he ate alot. However, according to the Royal Doctor and Royal Alchemist, it was because of his unique magic. It was like stocking up on firewood for future fires. Of course, it would probably be easier if Diego could use more of his magic better. Beyond that, he didn't look any different. He possessed light olive skin, so he looked a bit paler than the average person around the southern lands with brown eyes and dark colored hair. His glasses rested on his nightstand while he slept. The entire palace possessed charms and magicks of its own, powerful protective wards though since Flame had no malicious intents, it was why they did not detect her. Diego stirred a bit when he felt someone slip into his bed, but he was still fast asleep. However, having sensed a presence nearby, he couldn't help but snuggle up to the person, an arm even going to try and bring them closer. Diego was always a hugger and he liked showing physical affection to people. Yes he was viewed as a bit odd, but he always meant well and eevr gave up in trying to improve the lives of others.
