In the forests of Atwood
'A tall, dark-haired man roams through the forests, walking upright as if he were sent on an important quest by God Himself. Hours are spent roaming, until various wild animals block his path. These animals appeared hungry, and were aiming to eat the man.'

Man: Good grief... Will you animals leave me be? I have other matters to attend to. I am the prophet of God Himself. I am Isaiah. Leave now and I can promise you no harm.

The animals snarl in response, getting ready to attack.

Isaiah: I suppose I have no other choice...' A circle of black and red magic begins to form underneath his feet, ashes floating about from the circle. The magic then lifts itself up and around Isaiah, forming his battle armor before disappearing in a wave of embers and cinders.' Come. If you dare.

'One wolf-like creature pounces at Isaiah. He rolls to the side and unsheathes the knife strapped to his thigh. In an underhand fashion, Isaiah dashes at the wolf and cuts into its side, earning a pained yelp from the creature as it collapses to the ground in agony. The rest of its pack jump into action, some going to guard their fallen ally while the others attack Isaiah. He simply scoffs as he slides his fingers along the knife's blade, igniting it with flames before taking up a stance and charging at the wolves. One wolf is unfortunate enough to meet Isaiah's burning blade, bifurcated as Isaiah runs the knife through the wolf's mouth and all the way down to its tail.'

Isaiah: One down, several more left. He sheathes his knife after extinguishing the flames, before holding out his hand. Come forth, Conflagration.

'A greatsword with a coiled blade that glowed as thought it was just forged with intricate designs engraved in it appears from another ashen magic circle, floating in the air before Isaiah grabs it and holds in a single-handed stance. The wolves resume their attack, growling as they jump at him. Isaiah swings his sword, slashing at the wolves before slamming the blade into the ground with a battle cry as flames burst out of the ground and torch some of the wolves. Despite the burns, the wolves continue attacking. Isaiah holds out his other hand and calls forth a kite shield with icy vapor wafting off its surface. He slams the point of the shield into the ground, summoning ice spikes to impale the wolves in the air and deter the rest. Those that went around to avoid the spikes were then cut down by Isaiah's greatsword. After the skirmish had subsided, Isaiah removed his armor and weapons from his being by walking through another ashen circle.'

Isaiah: Good grief. I should've saved one of those wolf carcasses to cook for my next meal... He puts his hands in his pockets before walking through the forest again, eventually getting past it to see a grand castle hidden behind a large mountain range. Hm? A castle in this far north of Atwood? From what I've read, there could only be one possibility as to whom this castle belongs... *This must belong to the royal Claville family, if it's this secluded.* Isaiah then began to make his way towards the castle, having to get past the mountains before he could enter the kingdom.

In the Grand Atwood Castle
'There were knight guards in white standing on the sides of 15 feet double doors. At the slightest sound of the door opening, they each turn to face each other in unison. The door opens and out walks a cute young woman wearing a dress. She walks in a fast pace down her hallway and an old woman follows with her armor, Piety, in her arms. '

Old Maid: Princess Fayette, you must not leave. It is unsafe for you to be out there!

'Fayette slows down to let the old maid, Gina, catch up with her and starts to switch into her battle armor as they walk. '

Fayette: I'm sorry Gina, I've made up my mind. I simply cannot stay here. Something about this place has changed over the years. You've noticed it too, so why haven't you left yet?

Gina: ...Because I've known you since birth... I cannot abandon you no matter what.

'In deep thought, Fayette looks at Gina and stops. She hugs her closely and hands her a ring. '

Fayette: I'm so sorry Gina... I-I must go though. Please be safe. 'She finishes putting the last of her armor on and turns to Gina and puts her left hand on her shoulder. 'Please leave this place soon.

'Fayette hastens while looking out of the new of the castle and sees clouds below her. She sees the Atwood mountain and mentally makes a note of her destination. In about 15 minutes, she's already down on the first floor of the palace and sees her parents in a meeting with the King of Nashire. '

Thea, the Queen of Atwood: Fayette! Come in here! Don't be nervous.

'Fayette comes to a stop and has a regretful facial expression, but turns to head inside the meeting room. The meeting room is lined with Knight Guards from the Atwood Palace and Knight Guards from the Nashire Nation. It is dead quiet as she walks in.'

Nashire King: Hello Princess Fayette. Nice to see you again.

Fayette: Same to you, King (?). What brings you here today? 'She stands nice and tall and looks at the King. '

King O' Nashire: Oh, just matters about the security of our nations. He inspects her Are you headed out somewhere?

Fayette: Yes, I am about to train with my sister in the field. You know how she is, haha.

King O' Nashire: Ah, I understand. Go ahead then, nice seeing you again Princess.

Fayette: Thank you King (?).

'She nods to her parents then turns around and heads out. She heads out to the field as her sister is standing there, waiting. '

Seraphina: Hello sister! Where have you been??? I've been waiting quite a long time.

Fayette: Shut up and get your spear ready. 'She unsheathes the sword at her waist and while walking to her sister in the middle of the field and swings it a couple times and glares at her sister readying up. '

Seraphina: You know mother and father will come looking for you, right? 'She swings her spear around her in high speeds and lets go of the spear. The spear remains floating in the air, as she created it at a young age, being her main choice of weapon. '

Fayette: I'm going to be long gone. And I know you've been involved with them about this strange feeling I've started feeling around the house. You've all also been treating me worse and worse. But it's okay because I won't be doing this anymore. I'm going to find my own life somewhere while this place crumbles to nothingness.

Seraphina: Fay, you don't know what you're talking about. You're being as delusional as ever. 'She flicks her wrist and the spear goes flying at Fayette at incredible speeds. '

'Fayette points her sword forward and dashes at the spear, clashing it with her short sword, Enku. The spear recoils off and zooms at her again from behind and Fay turns to block it with a sword strike again. This keeps on repeating with more clashes and Seraphina watches from afar. Fay begins to dodge these attacks then races towards Sera when she sees an opening in the attack pattern. '

Fayette: Whispers Rushor... 'Her legs slightly spark for a quick second and Fay takes off in intense speeds at her sister. The spear begins to race after her and Fayette lunges her sword at Seraphina with her right arm and the sword goes perfectly straight at Sera. She sidesteps it and when she turns back around, she sees Fayette in the air with her right fist clenched and she creates a shield made of mental energy and blocks the heavy punch. The punch creates shockwaves among the shield and the space around them, but Fayette grabs onto the shield.'

Seraphina: Are you stupid? What are you trying to d- Agh! 'Seraphina stops the spear before it comes to Fayette. '*She was going to dodge it so the spear collided with my shield.*

'Fayette backflips off the shield and cocks back her right arm, and then electricity crackles around it for a split second and that makes the armor glisten in Sera's eyes. Fay lunges at the shield again and punches the shield again, shattering it. She lands on her feet and as Sera is disoriented, Fayette grabs her with her left hand and runs with great speeds towards the end of the field and throws her like a rag doll and she grabs her sword on the floor and continues running at Sera's body now on the ground. She swings fiercely at her sister, but Sera manages to move out of the way of the strikes, but Fay spins and extends her foot, making Sera lose her footing. She hits the ground and Fay holds her sword above Sera's chest.'

Fayette: Follow me and you'll be sorry...

Seraphina: What.. Going to leave already? The battles just begun sister!

Fayette: No! 'She shoots electricity from her sword into Sera's chest knocking her out and Fayette backs off and looks at her sister's unconscious body. 'Goodbye Sera...

'Fayette starts to dash away from the field and at the snowy woods, and that's when her winged spirit, Petra flies from the castle and makes a screech and Fay turns around to notice it. It's carrying a pack and Fayette smiles. As she's running, Petra drops the pack to Fayette and she catches it. She keeps running and waves at Petra as it flies away out of sight. Fayette puts on the pack and she finally gets to the giant gate separating the Castle to the outside Kingdom. She gets to the gate and touches it, a secret door opening from the bottom. She passes through and the gate seals. As she leaves, she whistles, hears furiously stomps coming from the woods and smirks.'

In the mountains of Atwood
'As Isaiah finished traversing the mountains of Atwood and reaching the gate, he notices someone exit the gate from an unseen passage. Curiously, he walks over to the other traveler and begins to notice the traveler is feminine in appearance. He decides that he should confront her, so he runs over to her and greets her.'

Isaiah: Greetings, traveler. Could you, perhaps, spare a moment to explain your reasoning for leaving the safety of the walls of this kingdom? It's far too dangerous out here.

'Fayette jumps and looks towards him in surprise. She checks him out and backs away as the noise of the stomps increase. '

Fayette: It's none of your business. 'She looks around and suddenly an enlarged snow leopard leaps out of the trees and at Isaiah. '

Isaiah: I see... He rolls out of the way as the snow leopard leaps at him. Perhaps you could opt for some company? It's not very fun travelling alone. And, I can cook meals for you, so long as we find materials to make food out of. I can be very beneficial to your travels.

Fayette: Ugh don't you have a destination or something? She runs to the snow leopard and starts to pet it Calm down Ryia, he doesn't seem like a hostile... 'She rubs his fur and gives him a kiss then reaches into her pack to give him some food. '

Isaiah: I'm a wanderer, I have no true destinations. Wherever there is knowledge to be found, or if my powers are needed, God will guide me to my next destination. He points up at the sky I am the prophet of God Himself. I am Isaiah.
