Open rp

A man was wandering the neutral grounds between the kingdoms. He had big wings of a golden eagle and a crown.

“If I was Xan, where would I be? God, there are so many places he could be. Guess I’ll start with that arena and the beach” *He signed and started walking to the arena*

*Owain notices the stranger.*

“Hey. Who are you?”

*He wasn’t as suspicious as he might’ve been if they’d been within the Blue Kingdom, but he was still keeping a wary eye open.*

"Hm? Oh, hello. I'm Mattias Starborn, prince of Celestial Aetheria" *The man stops and folds his wings closer to his back*

You find a picture on the ground near the castle, the picture clearly showed a younger version of Xander beside a little boy who looked like him and a taller Avian boy with a crown and wings of a golden eagle. When you turn it over there is a note that reads: Things that help during a panic attack: Hugs; headpatts; purring.

*Owain hums, then murmurs to himself.* “Good to know…”

*He wonders if this belongs to someone. He should return it. Perhaps it’s Xander’s?*

Xander was napping in the garden of the house he had chosen, it was close to the training grounds, just big enough for 2 people and really hidden from view. He woke up at the sound of Owain's boots on the gravel. "Oh! Hello Owain, you're back from your travels!"

“Hello. I am indeed. How were things in my absence?”

*He offers Xander a hand to stand up.*

*Xander takes the hand and stands up.* "It's been allright, I've been training archery on a moving horse." *He answers while stretching.* "I've met Sparrow."

“Really? That certainly takes skill. Perhaps you’ll have to show me some time.”

*Owain pauses.* “And what do you think of Sparrow?”

"He's a nice kid, he reminds me of my little brother." *Xander answered before yawning* "I was planning on searching for something before going to the shore to train. Want to come?"

“I see no reason not to.” *Owain nods.*

“I was not aware you had a brother.”

"I don't really talk about him as it never comes up. He's the sweetes kid though. One second I'll go grab my bow" *He walks inside and comes back out with a slightly fancier bow than a knight would have* "Okay, I got it!"

*Owain nods in approval.* “A good weapon. A bit more elegant than one I’d reach for, but I trust it is to be feared in your hands.”

"It was given to me by someone special" *He blushed slightly*

“Oh? Someone special?”

*Beneath his mask, Owain gives a knowing smile.*

“Who might this special someone be?”

"Would you believe me if I said the prince and my partner. The same person by the way" *He starts walking to the back of the garden, gesturing for Owain to follow*

“The prince? Well, I certainly didn’t expect that, but I do believe it. How did you two become a thing?”

*Owain follows, mildly surprised.*

"Lots of training together. He was one of the first I told that I wanted to be a man" *Xander walks to a small stables*

“Well, congratulations. Though perhaps you can point me in his direction some time? …I just wish to make it clear what will happen if he lays an unwanted hand on you.”

"He's still in Celestial Aetheria I think" *He walks into the stable, where a beautiful horse is standing* "This is my horse"

*Owain nods.*

“I see. I ought to pay him a visit some time. And this is a lovely horse.”

"His name is Leon" *He turns to the horse* "We'll go right after I find the picture alright?" *He gives him a carrot*

“Alright. What picture?” *Owain crosses the room towards Faithful.*

"One of younger me, him and my brother. The only picture I have left of them"

“Oh, I see. That must be an important picture to you, then.”

"It is, I think I lost it near the castle"

(Ooc genuinely took me this long to realize, whoops)

“Wait, is this it? I found it on the ground.” *Owain takes out the picture he had found earlier.*

#bfsmp rp #Ooc: that's okay lol

*Xander looks at it and his shoulders relax* "It is, thank you so much"

#Bf!xander

"Hello there!" *A man, also an avian, walks up* "Who are you?" *He looked like a prince without, but he didn't have a crown*

@the-physic-breaking-mage

[Rune jumps, being startled while he was just walking around. He almost drops his crutch looking things]

"Good god! You can't just surprise a man like that!"

"Oh he's a lovely horse then if you've had him for that long"

"He's a sweetheart who loves attention, you can pet him if you want!"

"I think I'm alright- I don't think I wanna fall"

"Alright" *Xander takes the horse over and walks the stables back in*

[Rune smiles a bit]

*Xander walks back out* "Want to go to the red kingdom before we look for a place to build?"

"Yeah! I'd like that"

"Alright then, flying or walking?"

"Flying again please"

"Okay" *Mattias spreads his wings and Xander teleports*

[Rune opens his wings and starts to fly to where he assumes is the red kingdom]

*Mattias follows them* "It's a straight line from the gates"

".. So you guys are literally facing each other despite being at war?"

"Yep, we used to be one big kingdom"

"Hm-"

"I don't know the history"

"I hope the war ends soon or it'll just be rebuild, call before the storm, attack, death. That all repeating until the end of time"

"Me too, I hope queen Graecie and ser Bek can come on an agreement soon" *The arena comes in view*

[He looks and points to it]

"What's that?"

"That's the arena, we use itvto train"

"Oh that's cool to have-"

"It is, it's a good one to train when evryone's asleep. Mostly for Xander, he doesn't need as much sleep"

"He doesn't?"

"Nope, part of his magic. He sleeps 2-3 night a week"

"Oh that's- hm. Neet?"

"It is, just means less cuddles sometimes"

[Rune makes a small giggle]

"I believe that must be upsetting"

"It issss"

[He smiles]

"You two are very lovely together"

"Thank youuu" *Mattias looks down* "Let's land here"

[They slowly land and Rune seems better on his feet]

*Mattias gestures to a building near the bridge* "This is the Rue bar and on the other side of the bridge is the red kingdom"

"The Rue bar?"

"Yep! It's run by Rue! A great place for a night out"

"The name now makes sense"

"The name is a combination between red and blue. It's neutral ground, no fighting allowed"

"That's nice actually-"

"That's why it's great for a night out. Ready for the red kingdom?"

"Yeah- yeah"

"That sounded really sarcasitc, let's go then" *Mattias starts walking to the bridge*

[Rune follows]

"The ship on the water is the shop"

"Can anyone buy stuff from it?"

"With gold, yes." *He resumed walking*

".. This is a slightly weird kingdom"

"What do you mean?"

"Just- the way everything works is very different from what I'm used to"

"I had to adjust too, but I like it way more. No reasonsebilitly, I am worried for my sister though"

"Would you be able to send a pigeon with a letter to her?"

"I am, we have our own doves. She's 15 now, and was crowned just before I left"

"Possibly ask her who she is?"

"Of course you can. Her name is Elaine Starborn, the same avian I am. An golden eagle"

"She has a really pretty name"

"I know, I love her as much as I love Leon. The person Leon not the horse"

"She must be a lovely sister"

"She is, as energetic as a bird in the early moring" *He stops at the gates of the red kingdom*

"That's a lot of energy"

”It is. These are the gates of the red kingdom”

[He looks at it and hums]

"These are very large"

”Come” *Mattias walks through the gates and looks around for Xander*

[He follows, looking around at the kingdom]

*Xander was talking to some of the knights and a couple childeren ran up to Mattias* "Matt! Matt! Do you want to play with us?" "Not right now kids, I'm showing someone around"

[Rune smiles slightly at the kids]

"Go back to your parents, I'll come by tomorrow to play, okay?" "Okay..." *They run back to a waving couple and Mattias waves back*

[Rune kinda just stands there, watching]

"Come" *Mattias walks over to Xander and chats a bit with the knights*

[He follows, looking at the knights]

*Xander introduces Rune to the knights* "He just came today, we're showing him around. I would be glad for a spar when we're done"

[He dies a small wave]

"The green house is a beautiful place to go" "We were planning to go there" "Ah! Then we're old news, see you" "See you!" *The knights walk away* "To the green house!" *They start walking to the back of the kingdom*

[He follows, slowly of course]

*It doesn't take long until their there, as they know a back route* "The green house!"

"Oh- wow-"

"Mhm, it's really pretty even though they don't have nature mages"

"A little ironic that the kingdom with nature mages has a greenhouse while the one with nature mages doesn't"

"True, but our kingdom has flowers everywhere" "Stop boasting about your kingdom!!" *The green housekeeper calls out* "Sorry!" *Mattias and Xander laugh*

[He does an awkward smile, looking uncomfortable being around so many people]

*Xander notises* "You want to go back?"

"Yeah- yeah. Can I?"

"Of course, I'll go with you" "I'm going to spar" "Okay, see you at home" *Xander waves and walk to the knight guilds* "Let's fly"

[Rune immediately starts to fly, getting higher than they have been]

*Mattias follows* "You okay?"

"Just really tired- that's a lot of people"

"There are many people. We don't have to look for a place to build right now, we can go to our house first"

[Rune thinks for a moment]

"Can we maybe go looking? I think that'd be nice, maybe I'll just try and avoid conversations besides you"

"Alright, I think the mountains have peacefull places to build" *They fly past the statues of old monarchs*

[He looks down and notes it]

"Those are statues of past monarchs, Owain build them"

"Would that mean that the current queen will have one?"

"Yes, though she's an elf. So it may take some time"

"Maybe that can be a new job, build statues of past monarchs"

"Maybe, yea. There are enough people and multipul elves in the kingdom and Xander will live to 150"

"Make a thing where you have to audition for?"

“We’ll have to see if Owain wants to continue, I think he likes building those statues” *Mattias waves to someone in gold armor*

[Rune looks at the person]

"We can wait, if he enjoys it then we'll let him continue"

“Yea, it was one of the only times he and Xander could hangout peacefully. Now they make time”

".. Then let's not take that away from them"

“Let’s not do that no. The duties are already stressfull”

[As they keep flying, Rune spots a place on the mountains that would potentially be a good place to build]

"Do you think we can check out the spot?"

[He points down to it]

”Sure!” *Mattias starts flying down*

[He also flies down, landing softly]

*Mattias lands harder than he thought he would and stumbles a bit* “This is a pretty place”

"It's close enough to where if someone wanted to find me, they can, while I also can have my privacy"

“Yes, it’s the same as our house. That’s hidden behind a bunch of trees” *Mattias walks around for a bit* “And big enough for a proper one person house”

"Mhm, and enough room where if it needs expending it can"

“True, now what materials do you want your house made of?” *He takes a notebook out of his bag*

"Probably just wood, stone, and glass?"

”And what kind of wood?”

"Dark oak and spruce..?"

”Alright, let’s get back so we can start planning!”

"Back to your and Xander's house?"

”Yep!” *Mattias runs and starts flying*

[Rune starts to fly again, following behind him]

*It doesn’t take long before Mattias takes a nosedive downwards and landing in his garden*

[Rune flies down slowly, landing near the door]

*Mattias opens The door and walks inside* “Do you want something to eat?”

"I'm alright no thank you"

”Alright, something to drink then?” *Mattias walks to the cupboard under the stairs and opens it to take out a stack of paper. A whole wall with weapons is visible in the closet*

"Uh- tea is good"

“Alright” *Mattias tries to close the door with his foot, but an axe has fallen in the way* “Stupid axe, I’ve asked him to organise this closet!”

[He smiles a bit]

"Maybe after he comes home you ask?"

”I’ve been asking him FOR 5 YEARS” *Mattias sets the stack of papers on the coffee table and puts the axe back before closing the door propely*

[Rune can't help but snicker, smiling]

*Mattias grumbles while walking to the kitchen with the papers*

[Rune goes to sit down, resting his legs]

*Mattias walks back out with a steaming cup of tea* "Here"

[He takes it]

"Thank you"

*Mattias sits down beside Rune, takes a pen out of his pocket and a paper from the table* “Okay, what design do you want your house?”

"Probably something that has two stories but has slabs instead of stairs? Probably small with an area at the front to sit at"

*Mattias sketches a quick design* “Like this?” *He shows it to Rune*

[Rune takes a sip of his tea and nods yes]

"Mhm!"

”Okay, great. Just mean we need to gather matirials and…” *Xander comes through the door and plofs down next to Mattias* “But I think we beter do that tomorrow”

"Sounds good! I can probably find somewhere to stay for the night"

“You can stay here and sleep on the sofa” *Xander lays down ontop of Mattias*

[Rune smiles]

"I don't wanna intrude on your space"

*Xander yawns* “It’s fine, it’s only for max a week”

"It probably won't even be a few days, I will be helping build my own house"

”I know, but with all the gathering and thing. It is going to take atleast 1 day of gathering and 2 days of building” *Xander had fallen asleep*

"I can probably start gathering stuff tonight, I don't exactly enjoy sleeping"

“Rest is important if you want to build, you’ll get tired faster without it” *Xander started purring and Mattias chuckles*

[Rune looks at his tea and takes a drink]

".. I'd rather be busy then think about home. I don't know what's happening back home"

“You like baking or cooking? You could do that, we have enough in the pantry, I’m guessing you don’t want to talk about it”

"... Maybe I'll cook and yeah. I don't wanna talk about it, at least not for now"

“Yea, it took me a while for Xan to tell me more about his family then I knew”

[Rune stays quiet, just staring at his tea before talking]

"... I had an older brother and little brother, I was the only girl my mom had"

“It was the same in Xander’s family, he was the only born girl”

[He smiles a bit]

"I don't have my older brother anymore and my little brother got sent away somewhere else to be kept safe... He's probably the next king so it makes sense.."

“That makes sence, I would have my sister send somewhere else too” *Mattias pets Xander’s head*

"I wonder how he is. He should be turning 10 soon.."

“Our doves are the best here, they never failed to deliver a letter even when they only knew the name. You can try them. He’s only 5 years younger than my sister”

"Maybe I'll do that. I have a lot of maybe's to do-"

”Then let’s work on them tomorrow”

"Yeah.. I think I'm gonna cook tonight until I'm ready to sleep"

“Alright, we’re going to bed then. We’ll see you tomorrow morning” *Mattias stands up with the sleeping Xander and starts walking to the stairs* “Xan is a pretty light sleeper, so if you need something just knock on the door on the right”

"Will do"

[Rune finishes his tea and starts to find something to cook, deciding on a recipe from home]

#bannerfall rp #Ending there! I can’t reply to you in the comments

“Okay, good night” *They disapear upstairs*

"Hello there!" *A man, also an avian, walks up* "Who are you?" *He looked like a prince without, but he didn't have a crown*

@the-physic-breaking-mage

[Rune jumps, being startled while he was just walking around. He almost drops his crutch looking things]

"Good god! You can't just surprise a man like that!"

"Oh he's a lovely horse then if you've had him for that long"

"He's a sweetheart who loves attention, you can pet him if you want!"

"I think I'm alright- I don't think I wanna fall"

"Alright" *Xander takes the horse over and walks the stables back in*

[Rune smiles a bit]

*Xander walks back out* "Want to go to the red kingdom before we look for a place to build?"

"Yeah! I'd like that"

"Alright then, flying or walking?"

"Flying again please"

"Okay" *Mattias spreads his wings and Xander teleports*

[Rune opens his wings and starts to fly to where he assumes is the red kingdom]

*Mattias follows them* "It's a straight line from the gates"

".. So you guys are literally facing each other despite being at war?"

"Yep, we used to be one big kingdom"

"Hm-"

"I don't know the history"

"I hope the war ends soon or it'll just be rebuild, call before the storm, attack, death. That all repeating until the end of time"

"Me too, I hope queen Graecie and ser Bek can come on an agreement soon" *The arena comes in view*

[He looks and points to it]

"What's that?"

"That's the arena, we use itvto train"

"Oh that's cool to have-"

"It is, it's a good one to train when evryone's asleep. Mostly for Xander, he doesn't need as much sleep"

"He doesn't?"

"Nope, part of his magic. He sleeps 2-3 night a week"

"Oh that's- hm. Neet?"

"It is, just means less cuddles sometimes"

[Rune makes a small giggle]

"I believe that must be upsetting"

"It issss"

[He smiles]

"You two are very lovely together"

"Thank youuu" *Mattias looks down* "Let's land here"

[They slowly land and Rune seems better on his feet]

*Mattias gestures to a building near the bridge* "This is the Rue bar and on the other side of the bridge is the red kingdom"

"The Rue bar?"

"Yep! It's run by Rue! A great place for a night out"

"The name now makes sense"

"The name is a combination between red and blue. It's neutral ground, no fighting allowed"

"That's nice actually-"

"That's why it's great for a night out. Ready for the red kingdom?"

"Yeah- yeah"

"That sounded really sarcasitc, let's go then" *Mattias starts walking to the bridge*

[Rune follows]

"The ship on the water is the shop"

"Can anyone buy stuff from it?"

"With gold, yes." *He resumed walking*

".. This is a slightly weird kingdom"

"What do you mean?"

"Just- the way everything works is very different from what I'm used to"

"I had to adjust too, but I like it way more. No reasonsebilitly, I am worried for my sister though"

"Would you be able to send a pigeon with a letter to her?"

"I am, we have our own doves. She's 15 now, and was crowned just before I left"

"Possibly ask her who she is?"

"Of course you can. Her name is Elaine Starborn, the same avian I am. An golden eagle"

"She has a really pretty name"

"I know, I love her as much as I love Leon. The person Leon not the horse"

"She must be a lovely sister"

"She is, as energetic as a bird in the early moring" *He stops at the gates of the red kingdom*

"That's a lot of energy"

”It is. These are the gates of the red kingdom”

[He looks at it and hums]

"These are very large"

”Come” *Mattias walks through the gates and looks around for Xander*

[He follows, looking around at the kingdom]

*Xander was talking to some of the knights and a couple childeren ran up to Mattias* "Matt! Matt! Do you want to play with us?" "Not right now kids, I'm showing someone around"

[Rune smiles slightly at the kids]

"Go back to your parents, I'll come by tomorrow to play, okay?" "Okay..." *They run back to a waving couple and Mattias waves back*

[Rune kinda just stands there, watching]

"Come" *Mattias walks over to Xander and chats a bit with the knights*

[He follows, looking at the knights]

*Xander introduces Rune to the knights* "He just came today, we're showing him around. I would be glad for a spar when we're done"

[He dies a small wave]

[He follows, slowly of course]

*It doesn't take long until their there, as they know a back route* "The green house!"

"Oh- wow-"

"Mhm, it's really pretty even though they don't have nature mages"

"A little ironic that the kingdom with nature mages has a greenhouse while the one with nature mages doesn't"

"True, but our kingdom has flowers everywhere" "Stop boasting about your kingdom!!" *The green housekeeper calls out* "Sorry!" *Mattias and Xander laugh*

[He does an awkward smile, looking uncomfortable being around so many people]

*Xander notises* "You want to go back?"

"Yeah- yeah. Can I?"

"Of course, I'll go with you" "I'm going to spar" "Okay, see you at home" *Xander waves and walk to the knight guilds* "Let's fly"

[Rune immediately starts to fly, getting higher than they have been]

*Mattias follows* "You okay?"

"Just really tired- that's a lot of people"

"There are many people. We don't have to look for a place to build right now, we can go to our house first"

[Rune thinks for a moment]

"Can we maybe go looking? I think that'd be nice, maybe I'll just try and avoid conversations besides you"

"Alright, I think the mountains have peacefull places to build" *They fly past the statues of old monarchs*

[He looks down and notes it]

"Those are statues of past monarchs, Owain build them"

"Would that mean that the current queen will have one?"

"Yes, though she's an elf. So it may take some time"

"Maybe that can be a new job, build statues of past monarchs"

"Maybe, yea. There are enough people and multipul elves in the kingdom and Xander will live to 150"

"Make a thing where you have to audition for?"

“We’ll have to see if Owain wants to continue, I think he likes building those statues” *Mattias waves to someone in gold armor*

[Rune looks at the person]

"We can wait, if he enjoys it then we'll let him continue"

“Yea, it was one of the only times he and Xander could hangout peacefully. Now they make time”

".. Then let's not take that away from them"

“Let’s not do that no. The duties are already stressfull”

[As they keep flying, Rune spots a place on the mountains that would potentially be a good place to build]

"Do you think we can check out the spot?"

[He points down to it]

”Sure!” *Mattias starts flying down*

[He also flies down, landing softly]

*Mattias lands harder than he thought he would and stumbles a bit* “This is a pretty place”

"It's close enough to where if someone wanted to find me, they can, while I also can have my privacy"

“Yes, it’s the same as our house. That’s hidden behind a bunch of trees” *Mattias walks around for a bit* “And big enough for a proper one person house”

"Mhm, and enough room where if it needs expending it can"

“True, now what materials do you want your house made of?” *He takes a notebook out of his bag*

"Probably just wood, stone, and glass?"

”And what kind of wood?”

"Dark oak and spruce..?"

”Alright, let’s get back so we can start planning!”

"Back to your and Xander's house?"

”Yep!” *Mattias runs and starts flying*

[Rune starts to fly again, following behind him]

*It doesn’t take long before Mattias takes a nosedive downwards and landing in his garden*

[Rune flies down slowly, landing near the door]

*Mattias opens The door and walks inside* “Do you want something to eat?”

"I'm alright no thank you"

”Alright, something to drink then?” *Mattias walks to the cupboard under the stairs and opens it to take out a stack of paper. A whole wall with weapons is visible in the closet*

"Uh- tea is good"

“Alright” *Mattias tries to close the door with his foot, but an axe has fallen in the way* “Stupid axe, I’ve asked him to organise this closet!”

[He smiles a bit]

"Maybe after he comes home you ask?"

”I’ve been asking him FOR 5 YEARS” *Mattias sets the stack of papers on the coffee table and puts the axe back before closing the door propely*

[Rune can't help but snicker, smiling]

*Mattias grumbles while walking to the kitchen with the papers*

[Rune goes to sit down, resting his legs]

*Mattias walks back out with a steaming cup of tea* "Here"

[He takes it]

"Thank you"

*Mattias sits down beside Rune, takes a pen out of his pocket and a paper from the table* “Okay, what design do you want your house?”

"Probably something that has two stories but has slabs instead of stairs? Probably small with an area at the front to sit at"

*Mattias sketches a quick design* “Like this?” *He shows it to Rune*

[Rune takes a sip of his tea and nods yes]

"Mhm!"

”Okay, great. Just mean we need to gather matirials and…” *Xander comes through the door and plofs down next to Mattias* “But I think we beter do that tomorrow”

"Sounds good! I can probably find somewhere to stay for the night"

“You can stay here and sleep on the sofa” *Xander lays down ontop of Mattias*

[Rune smiles]

"I don't wanna intrude on your space"

*Xander yawns* “It’s fine, it’s only for max a week”

"It probably won't even be a few days, I will be helping build my own house"

”I know, but with all the gathering and thing. It is going to take atleast 1 day of gathering and 2 days of building” *Xander had fallen asleep*

"I can probably start gathering stuff tonight, I don't exactly enjoy sleeping"

“Rest is important if you want to build, you’ll get tired faster without it” *Xander started purring and Mattias chuckles*

[Rune looks at his tea and takes a drink]

".. I'd rather be busy then think about home. I don't know what's happening back home"

“You like baking or cooking? You could do that, we have enough in the pantry, I’m guessing you don’t want to talk about it”

"... Maybe I'll cook and yeah. I don't wanna talk about it, at least not for now"

“Yea, it took me a while for Xan to tell me more about his family then I knew”

[Rune stays quiet, just staring at his tea before talking]

"... I had an older brother and little brother, I was the only girl my mom had"

“It was the same in Xander’s family, he was the only born girl”

[He smiles a bit]

"I don't have my older brother anymore and my little brother got sent away somewhere else to be kept safe... He's probably the next king so it makes sense.."

“That makes sence, I would have my sister send somewhere else too” *Mattias pets Xander’s head*

"I wonder how he is. He should be turning 10 soon.."

“Our doves are the best here, they never failed to deliver a letter even when they only knew the name. You can try them. He’s only 5 years younger than my sister”

"Maybe I'll do that. I have a lot of maybe's to do-"

”Then let’s work on them tomorrow”

"Yeah.. I think I'm gonna cook tonight until I'm ready to sleep"

"Hello there!" *A man, also an avian, walks up* "Who are you?" *He looked like a prince without, but he didn't have a crown*

@the-physic-breaking-mage

[Rune jumps, being startled while he was just walking around. He almost drops his crutch looking things]

"Good god! You can't just surprise a man like that!"

"Oh he's a lovely horse then if you've had him for that long"

"He's a sweetheart who loves attention, you can pet him if you want!"

"I think I'm alright- I don't think I wanna fall"

"Alright" *Xander takes the horse over and walks the stables back in*

[Rune smiles a bit]

*Xander walks back out* "Want to go to the red kingdom before we look for a place to build?"

"Flying again please"

"Okay" *Mattias spreads his wings and Xander teleports*

[Rune opens his wings and starts to fly to where he assumes is the red kingdom]

*Mattias follows them* "It's a straight line from the gates"

".. So you guys are literally facing each other despite being at war?"

"Yep, we used to be one big kingdom"

"Hm-"

"I don't know the history"

"I hope the war ends soon or it'll just be rebuild, call before the storm, attack, death. That all repeating until the end of time"

"Me too, I hope queen Graecie and ser Bek can come on an agreement soon" *The arena comes in view*

[He looks and points to it]

"What's that?"

"That's the arena, we use itvto train"

"Oh that's cool to have-"

"It is, it's a good one to train when evryone's asleep. Mostly for Xander, he doesn't need as much sleep"

"He doesn't?"

"Nope, part of his magic. He sleeps 2-3 night a week"

"That's nice actually-"

"That's why it's great for a night out. Ready for the red kingdom?"

"Yeah- yeah"

"That sounded really sarcasitc, let's go then" *Mattias starts walking to the bridge*

[Rune follows]

"The ship on the water is the shop"

"Can anyone buy stuff from it?"

"With gold, yes." *He resumed walking*

".. This is a slightly weird kingdom"

"What do you mean?"

"Just- the way everything works is very different from what I'm used to"

"I had to adjust too, but I like it way more. No reasonsebilitly, I am worried for my sister though"

"Would you be able to send a pigeon with a letter to her?"

“We’ll have to see if Owain wants to continue, I think he likes building those statues” *Mattias waves to someone in gold armor*

[Rune looks at the person]

"We can wait, if he enjoys it then we'll let him continue"

“Yea, it was one of the only times he and Xander could hangout peacefully. Now they make time”

".. Then let's not take that away from them"

“Let’s not do that no. The duties are already stressfull”

[As they keep flying, Rune spots a place on the mountains that would potentially be a good place to build]

"Do you think we can check out the spot?"

[He points down to it]

”Sure!” *Mattias starts flying down*

[He also flies down, landing softly]

*Mattias lands harder than he thought he would and stumbles a bit* “This is a pretty place”

"It's close enough to where if someone wanted to find me, they can, while I also can have my privacy"

“Yes, it’s the same as our house. That’s hidden behind a bunch of trees” *Mattias walks around for a bit* “And big enough for a proper one person house”

"Mhm, and enough room where if it needs expending it can"

“True, now what materials do you want your house made of?” *He takes a notebook out of his bag*

"Probably just wood, stone, and glass?"

”And what kind of wood?”

"Dark oak and spruce..?"

”Alright, let’s get back so we can start planning!”

"Back to your and Xander's house?"

”Yep!” *Mattias runs and starts flying*

[Rune starts to fly again, following behind him]

*It doesn’t take long before Mattias takes a nosedive downwards and landing in his garden*

[Rune flies down slowly, landing near the door]

*Mattias opens The door and walks inside* “Do you want something to eat?”

"I'm alright no thank you"

”Alright, something to drink then?” *Mattias walks to the cupboard under the stairs and opens it to take out a stack of paper. A whole wall with weapons is visible in the closet*

"Uh- tea is good"

“Alright” *Mattias tries to close the door with his foot, but an axe has fallen in the way* “Stupid axe, I’ve asked him to organise this closet!”

[He smiles a bit]

"Maybe after he comes home you ask?"

”I’ve been asking him FOR 5 YEARS” *Mattias sets the stack of papers on the coffee table and puts the axe back before closing the door propely*

[Rune can't help but snicker, smiling]

*Mattias grumbles while walking to the kitchen with the papers*

[Rune goes to sit down, resting his legs]

*Mattias walks back out with a steaming cup of tea* "Here"

[He takes it]

"Thank you"

*Mattias sits down beside Rune, takes a pen out of his pocket and a paper from the table* “Okay, what design do you want your house?”

"Probably something that has two stories but has slabs instead of stairs? Probably small with an area at the front to sit at"

*Mattias sketches a quick design* “Like this?” *He shows it to Rune*

[Rune takes a sip of his tea and nods yes]

"Mhm!"

”Okay, great. Just mean we need to gather matirials and…” *Xander comes through the door and plofs down next to Mattias* “But I think we beter do that tomorrow”

"Sounds good! I can probably find somewhere to stay for the night"

“You can stay here and sleep on the sofa” *Xander lays down ontop of Mattias*

[Rune smiles]

"I don't wanna intrude on your space"

*Xander yawns* “It’s fine, it’s only for max a week”

"It probably won't even be a few days, I will be helping build my own house"

”I know, but with all the gathering and thing. It is going to take atleast 1 day of gathering and 2 days of building” *Xander had fallen asleep*

"I can probably start gathering stuff tonight, I don't exactly enjoy sleeping"

“Rest is important if you want to build, you’ll get tired faster without it” *Xander started purring and Mattias chuckles*

[Rune looks at his tea and takes a drink]

".. I'd rather be busy then think about home. I don't know what's happening back home"

“You like baking or cooking? You could do that, we have enough in the pantry, I’m guessing you don’t want to talk about it”

"... Maybe I'll cook and yeah. I don't wanna talk about it, at least not for now"

“Yea, it took me a while for Xan to tell me more about his family then I knew”

[Rune stays quiet, just staring at his tea before talking]

"... I had an older brother and little brother, I was the only girl my mom had"

“It was the same in Xander’s family, he was the only born girl”

[He smiles a bit]

"I don't have my older brother anymore and my little brother got sent away somewhere else to be kept safe... He's probably the next king so it makes sense.."

“That makes sence, I would have my sister send somewhere else too” *Mattias pets Xander’s head*

"I wonder how he is. He should be turning 10 soon.."

“Our doves are the best here, they never failed to deliver a letter even when they only knew the name. You can try them. He’s only 5 years younger than my sister”

"Hello there!" *A man, also an avian, walks up* "Who are you?" *He looked like a prince without, but he didn't have a crown*

@the-physic-breaking-mage

[Rune jumps, being startled while he was just walking around. He almost drops his crutch looking things]

"Good god! You can't just surprise a man like that!"

"Oh he's a lovely horse then if you've had him for that long"

"He's a sweetheart who loves attention, you can pet him if you want!"

"I think I'm alright- I don't think I wanna fall"

"Alright" *Xander takes the horse over and walks the stables back in*

[Rune smiles a bit]

*Xander walks back out* "Want to go to the red kingdom before we look for a place to build?"

"Yeah! I'd like that"

"Alright then, flying or walking?"

"Flying again please"

"Okay" *Mattias spreads his wings and Xander teleports*

[Rune opens his wings and starts to fly to where he assumes is the red kingdom]

*Mattias follows them* "It's a straight line from the gates"

".. So you guys are literally facing each other despite being at war?"

"Yep, we used to be one big kingdom"

"Hm-"

"I don't know the history"

"I hope the war ends soon or it'll just be rebuild, call before the storm, attack, death. That all repeating until the end of time"

"Me too, I hope queen Graecie and ser Bek can come on an agreement soon" *The arena comes in view*

[He looks and points to it]

"What's that?"

"That's the arena, we use itvto train"

"Oh that's cool to have-"

"It is, it's a good one to train when evryone's asleep. Mostly for Xander, he doesn't need as much sleep"

"He doesn't?"

"Nope, part of his magic. He sleeps 2-3 night a week"

"Oh that's- hm. Neet?"

"It is, just means less cuddles sometimes"

[Rune makes a small giggle]

"I believe that must be upsetting"

"It issss"

[He smiles]

"You two are very lovely together"

"Thank youuu" *Mattias looks down* "Let's land here"

[They slowly land and Rune seems better on his feet]

*Mattias gestures to a building near the bridge* "This is the Rue bar and on the other side of the bridge is the red kingdom"

"The Rue bar?"

"Yep! It's run by Rue! A great place for a night out"

"The name now makes sense"

"The name is a combination between red and blue. It's neutral ground, no fighting allowed"

"That's nice actually-"

"That's why it's great for a night out. Ready for the red kingdom?"

"Yeah- yeah"

"That sounded really sarcasitc, let's go then" *Mattias starts walking to the bridge*

[Rune follows]

"The ship on the water is the shop"

"Can anyone buy stuff from it?"

"With gold, yes." *He resumed walking*

".. This is a slightly weird kingdom"

"What do you mean?"

"Just- the way everything works is very different from what I'm used to"

"I had to adjust too, but I like it way more. No reasonsebilitly, I am worried for my sister though"

"Would you be able to send a pigeon with a letter to her?"

"I am, we have our own doves. She's 15 now, and was crowned just before I left"

"Possibly ask her who she is?"

"Of course you can. Her name is Elaine Starborn, the same avian I am. An golden eagle"

"She has a really pretty name"

"I know, I love her as much as I love Leon. The person Leon not the horse"

"She must be a lovely sister"

"She is, as energetic as a bird in the early moring" *He stops at the gates of the red kingdom*

"That's a lot of energy"

”It is. These are the gates of the red kingdom”

[He looks at it and hums]

"These are very large"

”Come” *Mattias walks through the gates and looks around for Xander*

[He follows, looking around at the kingdom]

*Xander was talking to some of the knights and a couple childeren ran up to Mattias* "Matt! Matt! Do you want to play with us?" "Not right now kids, I'm showing someone around"

[Rune smiles slightly at the kids]

"Go back to your parents, I'll come by tomorrow to play, okay?" "Okay..." *They run back to a waving couple and Mattias waves back*

[Rune kinda just stands there, watching]

"Come" *Mattias walks over to Xander and chats a bit with the knights*

[He follows, looking at the knights]

*Xander introduces Rune to the knights* "He just came today, we're showing him around. I would be glad for a spar when we're done"

[He dies a small wave]

[He follows, slowly of course]

*It doesn't take long until their there, as they know a back route* "The green house!"

"Oh- wow-"

"Mhm, it's really pretty even though they don't have nature mages"

"A little ironic that the kingdom with nature mages has a greenhouse while the one with nature mages doesn't"

"True, but our kingdom has flowers everywhere" "Stop boasting about your kingdom!!" *The green housekeeper calls out* "Sorry!" *Mattias and Xander laugh*

[He does an awkward smile, looking uncomfortable being around so many people]

*Xander notises* "You want to go back?"

"Yeah- yeah. Can I?"

"Of course, I'll go with you" "I'm going to spar" "Okay, see you at home" *Xander waves and walk to the knight guilds* "Let's fly"

[Rune immediately starts to fly, getting higher than they have been]

*Mattias follows* "You okay?"

"Just really tired- that's a lot of people"

"There are many people. We don't have to look for a place to build right now, we can go to our house first"

[Rune thinks for a moment]

"Can we maybe go looking? I think that'd be nice, maybe I'll just try and avoid conversations besides you"

"Alright, I think the mountains have peacefull places to build" *They fly past the statues of old monarchs*

[He looks down and notes it]

"Those are statues of past monarchs, Owain build them"

"Would that mean that the current queen will have one?"

"Yes, though she's an elf. So it may take some time"

"Maybe that can be a new job, build statues of past monarchs"

"Maybe, yea. There are enough people and multipul elves in the kingdom and Xander will live to 150"

"Make a thing where you have to audition for?"

“We’ll have to see if Owain wants to continue, I think he likes building those statues” *Mattias waves to someone in gold armor*

"Mhm, and enough room where if it needs expending it can"

“True, now what materials do you want your house made of?” *He takes a notebook out of his bag*

"Probably just wood, stone, and glass?"

”And what kind of wood?”

"Dark oak and spruce..?"

”Alright, let’s get back so we can start planning!”

"Back to your and Xander's house?"

”Yep!” *Mattias runs and starts flying*
