Hello! This is just an Empires RP account, as i was Roleplay starved, though that was quick to fix :D

[xxflowerladyxx]

Hello everyone! As you can tell, this account went a bit inactive, partially due to the end of empires! But that’s all going to change!

Our friends decided we’d do roleplay accounts again! We are all on different accounts, as to not clutter these ones, and also because some of us have decided to change character! For example, I’m going to be playing Shubble this time around!

We’ll be starting in a few days to a week, so we can get everything ready. I’ll link all the accounts when I can.

You know what I’m not even gonna try and argue this anymore it depends on what you’re using to dye it and how much dye you use.

[The king of Mezalea had a bit of a habit recently, that being; He would spend days and nights researching the creatures of the ocean, what eggs they would lay, mainly creatures Lizzie had told him the egg could be from, he gather they were mostly "sea monsters" not that he ever thought of them as monsters, but it was a common name for them. so he did his research. learning how to take care of the egg.]

[Needless to say, he's made a room in his palace especially for the egg, an incubator room.]

[This was all instinctive, being an avian, his birdly instincts took over. And those instincts told him to take care of the youngling]

[Though this didn't bother Joel one bit, he was happy to be a mother. Even if the child hadn't hatched yet. It was still His child.]

[themezaleanking]

[Joel sat by the shore, humming a tune to himself, the sounds of the ocean have always calmed him down, and after what happened a few days ago, he needed to calm down. By the ocean he felt safe, protected.]

[Something washed up to the shore. covered in Seagrass and Seaweed, it was round, and through the bit that weren't covered in the sea plants, Joel could see a white coming through.]

[He headed over to it, and picked it up, it felt fragile, he didn't know what it was though. Slowly, he removed the seagrass and Seaweed from it, showing a pearly white ball, that felt like it could shatter at any moment.]

[Joel hummed, figuring it'd be best to ask lizzie about it. Having no idea what a ride he would be in for, he hopped on a boat, and headed towards The Ocean Empire, arriving shortly after. He went to see his Queen.]

@lizzieoceanqueen

[lizzieoceanqueen]

[Lizzie was trying to teach her axolotls the command paw when she saw her husband fly in]

'Goodmorning, Mezelean goods'

[She leaned down to kiss him]

'What have you been up to?'

[themezaleanking]

[Joel kissed her on the forehead, gently holding the white sphere.]

This, just washed up shore at my base, got any idea what it might be?

[He held up the Sphere so lizzie could see it and smiled]

[lizzieoceanqueen]

I dont know, let me see it

[She gently takes the sphere and weighs it in her hands, she then holds it up to the light]

I think it might be an egg

[She points to the vague darker spot that seems to reside in the sphere]

Look, thats the baby!

[themezaleanking]

[That was all that needed to be sent into a motherly headspace]

An egg? My goodness, Do you know what species it is? We need an incubator nonetheless- What does it need to eat? Oh my, we need to protect it-

[He just kept rambling about how they needed to protect it, this was instinctive, it was in his blood.]

[lizzieoceanqueen]

Babe, calm down, its seems to be the egg of a Drog, which is a really large frog, but the being inside resembles a Mertle, or a mermaid-turtle. Lets go to my royal doctor to see what he can make of this

[She placed the egg into Joels arms as she took him into her arms to make her way over to the doctor]

[themezaleanking]

A what-

[He was cut off by the egg being given to him and being picked up, he held to close to his chest, lightly as to not break it.]

[lizzieoceanqueen]

[They land at the doctors office and Lizzie strides in, her royal privileges allowing her to go first everywhere].

Where is doctor Ithan? My husband found an egg and we want to know what it is.

[A scrubby looking man walks out of his office]

[themezaleanking]

[Joel smiled, that was one of the things he didn't mind about lizzie being 10 times his size, She carried him a lot. it made him happy]

[When the man came out, Joel struggled to get out of lizzies arm wile trying to keep the egg in his arms, but he managed, He gave the doctor a smile]

[themezaleanking]

[Joel had been training for a while, practicing fighting techniques, with Exor now out in the world, he wanted to be ready for what might happen. He listened to the voice in his head, a god, helping him train. He had decided to wear one of his older training outfits, it was a sleeveless coat that went down past his knees, showing his chest and arms. The coat was a deep red with white and gold detailing and was held with a belt around his waist, made of white fabric and fastened with a gold buckle. His pants where long and a bright white, and they tucked into his high black boots with golden buttons, On his bare arm sat the symbol of the Cursed God, a head resembling an octopus's with bright green eyes, and six dark greenish blue tentacles curling on the sides.]

[lost-emperor]

[Joey glided down towards the Mezalean Matral Palace, humming a soft tune. Finding Joel in a training room, he decided to surprise his brother, sneaking up quietly behind him, making sure to hover a few inches above the ground so Joel wouldn't hear footsteps.]

Joel! Look what Xo-

[He paused in shock as his mind registered the symbol on Joel's arm.]

Wh... That's... Joel, why do you have that mark...

[Why was the mark of the Cursed God on Joel?]

[themezaleanking]

[Joel wasn't expecting visitors today, least of all Joey. so when his brother made him self known, he dropped the sword he held in a panic.]

Joey, listen I swear i have a reason.

[He was in a panic, he knew how Joey felt about the Cursed God but, The Cursed God had helped him, many times. He had gotten his brother back because of the Cursed God. And right now, he was worried about what his brother would think of him.]

[lost-emperor]

Joel...

[Joey's mind was a mess. How was he even supposed to respond to that? Oh hey, that's the symbol of the god who murdered my friends? Instinctively, he took a step back, distancing himself from the mark that had caused him so much pain.]

... how could you?

[He didn't even register himself saying it, but by then the words were out of his mouth and it was too late.]

[The necklace hidden under his cape glowed softly, as if it was... encouraging his actions.]

[themezaleanking]

[Joel took a step foward at this. He didn't want to fight with his own brother. But he also wanted his brother to know the truth, and he was scared that his brother would hate him for it. But nonetheless, he said it.]

He protected you Joey. He protected me. He's still protecting us! and anyone I've ever cared about.

[Joel eyes seeming to glow, the same greenish blue color of the eyes on the mark.]

[lost-emperor]

To.. protect me? That's...

[A million different adjectives came to mind, none of them good.]

It killed my friends, Joel! It tortured them, tortured me! I died, Joel!

[Joey wasn't sure where that outburst had come from, but none of it was a lie. He had died back then, actually died, when it was just the three of them left with the crown, and he had been so stupid, so careless-]

I was perfectly fine until the Cursed God decided to use me as it's bitch!

[themezaleanking]

[Joel felt betrayed at those words, Joey, his own flesh and blood had the audacity to call the Cursed God, the god he was a champion of, a killer. the only killer that Joel knew of was Exor, right? The Cursed God reassured him from the hivemind that his brother didn't know the truth, and that they should talk this out. but for once, Joel didn't listen.]

If that was the case why aren't you still stuck in that damned box?

[He yelled at his brother. He never Yelled, they never fought. But for once, both of those things had happened.]

If it wasn't for him you'd still be stuck in that Pandora's Box! You wouldn't have been ruling the Lost Empire right now! You wouldn't have met Xornoth!

[lost-emperor]

[Joey took a step back. Joel never yelled. But some form of irritation bubbled up within him, and he found himself responding in anger.]

I don’t care about the throne! I never did! I wasn’t even the one meant to rule, you were!

[Why did Joel even bring it up, and why was Joey arguing back? That was his brother! The one person who had never done anything bad towards Joey!]

And now you’re a follower of the god that was so evil, a whole organization was formed to stop it!

[themezaleanking]

[Joel wasn't pleased, quite the opposite in fact, he was angry, not at Joey, but at himself, for never showing Joey the truth when they were younger, and now, there was nothing he could do to change his brothers mind.]

[But that, a thought passed his mind, Joey thought he was just a follower. if he knew the truth, maybe he could show his brother the truth.]

Follower? I'm much more than a Follower, and that organization, the only thing they ever did right was destroy that crown.

[The crown of Oblivion, it was the one thing made by the cursed god that he hated. It was made to help the wearer use their magic, to strengthen it. It wouldn't allow natural magic to pass through.]

@corruption-king-xornoth [Joel stood at the gate of the Crystal Cliffs, holding an elegant box, it seemed to be made of dark oak, with gold engravings in it, and a gold lock, and with it, a key. He understood that the necklace inside of that box could protect the user from corruption, and he wanted to make sure Gem's corruption didn't spread. He couldn't risk it. He had gone to open the door, when a certain demon appeared by him.]

[corruption-king-xornoth]

Hello there, brother-in-law. [Xornoth appeared by the short man's side, arms crossed over their chest. Since they had been uncorrupted, they seemed to be turning back to a normal person, though their height remainded the same. Their horns poked out of the top of their curled, fluffy hair, though they were still severed and jagged. The edges looked like they could pierce through Joel's skin.]

What even is a brother in law? I don't know. Joey told me to say it, and tell him the look on your face. Anyways...what's up, dweeb?

[Xornoth gave Joel a once-over, an eyebrow raising.] Why do you have that look on your face? And what's that in your hands?

[themezaleanking]

[Joel had not expected Xornoth to come, nor had he expect to be called brother in law, and he seemed annoyed, for many reasons, and he rolled his eyes.]

[He wouldn't admit it, but he did think Xornoth looked nice, the curly hair suited him]

No reason, and this old thing? Just an old necklace of mine.

[corruption-king-xornoth]

A necklace? [Xornoth looked curiously, leaning down to his height.] I'm quite the expert in necklaces. I used to be inside of one, you know. It was not fun. Do you have anyone inside of that necklace?

[Xornoth chuckled at their own joke, patting Joel on the head like a small puppy.] Wait...did you bring this necklace because...? Did my twin tell you about our ancient traditions?

[Joel looked extremely confused, but Xornoth cut in once more.] Let's see it, then. You've got the key right there, right? Oh, this is exciting.

[themezaleanking]

[Joel was defiantly confused, what traditions was he talking about, he didn't seem to mind the head pats though]

[He hesitantly unlocked the box showing the necklace inside, it seemed to be a necklace from Rivendell, having small golden antlers on it, it also had a blue glass bead either side of them.]

Why are you so excited over a necklace anyways?

[corruption-king-xornoth]

Why am I excited? [Xornoth grinned, a strange look on their face, but not a nasty one. It was weird to see how fast he had changed in such little time...it was almost insane what a little love could do for you.] I think you mean, why wouldn't I be excited!

[Xornoth looked over the necklace in awe. Though they didn't appear as one, they were still elven, and had a very deep affinity for all things pretty and golden. Maybe that was why he liked Joey so much.]

[In an instant, Xornoth swooped up the necklace in their hands and held it up to their eyes, cheesing from ear-to-ear.] You're a very lovely lad, Joel. [He nodded.] Thank you for welcoming me into your family!

[And, just as Joel had raised his voice to protest, Xornoth had flown away with the beautiful necklace in their clutches.]

[As they flew away, the corruption woven tight around their heart loosened slightly once more at the kind touch of somebody welcoming them with a gift.]

[Well, that's what he thought at least.]

[themezaleanking]

[Joel was absolutely stunned, he had planned to drop off the necklace at gems doorstep, maybe ask one of her villagers to do it for him, he would have never thought that Xornoth would just, take it. and what did he mean by welcoming him to the family? was there a tradition the he didn't know of? Honestly he wouldn't have been surprised if that was the case. He sighed and shook his head, deciding maybe it was for the best if he went back to his newly built training grounds. He had some plans for the future with Exor being free, and he wanted to make sure he was ready, so he flew off to the new training grounds of the Mezalean Palace.]
