Thread: Take Apart All The Melodies (Daunte and last_true_romantic)

Dragonsreach The famed castle in the sky, the citadel of the gods, and the seat of power through the Revalon Empire. It went by many names from many different people, but one thing could be agreed upon universally it was a technological marvel. Many things had been created simply from studying the design of the impressive flying castle. Of course though it all belonged to the royal family along with just about everything else under the sun-touched lands. The power of Dragonsreach was irresistible and that meant that whoever ruled it would essentially be a god in the face of lesser kings. The current king had been chosen to rule from Dragonsreach based on a democratic process of sorts years ago, but now that the throne was comfortably sat in no one in the realm could overrule a decree by the High King of Revalon. The floating castle was both a symbol of unmatched beauty and of unmatched power. The lithe form of the rewowned, and in some cases infamous, princess could be seen gazing out longingly from the balcony attached to her rather sizable room. None other than Aewyn Darkwin-Revalon, daughter to the Queen of Revalon and sole heir to the throne of Dragonsreach. She was also the daughter of the king in name, but well, not exactly by blood relation. That as one might imagine is where a sizable amount of the controversy surrounding her came from. It only made matters worse that her mother's consort hadn't been human, instead having laid with an Okamimimi. In general the more exotic species of humanoids had been accepted into the workings of society, but the heiress being one had certainly stirred trouble among the nobility. While Dragonsreach was mostly a castle it did have a rather sizable surrounding area littered by small buildings, most of which acted as housing for beneficiaries of the royal family. That area below which had been sculpted to look like a proper castle courtyard was what the petite female had her eyes focused on. Aewyn had been waiting all day for the previously announced arrival of her childhood friend who held a particularly close place in her heart. The females cotillion ball was already scheduled, planned, and in the process of being set up for later that day. The handsome male had finished his training and had been subsequently tasked with being her personal knight, something which had made Aewyn's heart unwittingly skip a beat. The princess's new yet incredibly familiar guard was supposed to show up any second now, but as each moment passed she got more worried. Anxious perhaps would have been a more accurate word. It was going to be a huge step in her life that opened her up to society in the fullest sense of the word, and she wanted him to be there for her. The female leaned across the railing and gave a breathy sigh to the crisply cold air, high in the clouds where the wind whipped at her dress here and there. Had she missed him showing up while she was busy, or perhaps the Lyrebird airship due to land had been delayed for some reason... Or maybe... Aewyn quickly shook her head of the thoughts before they strayed to dangerously emotional areas that she wished not to deal with, although her fluffy pointed ears had already dropped from the beginning of such unwanted mental exercies.
