Chatterbox: Inkwell

Danger in the Night

Aster’s feet pounded on the tall grass, running. She glanced behind her, and darted behind a tree. A lone rider on a pearl-white horse came galloping past her. The rider was cloaked in a glowing white hood. Swirling floral patterns covered the cloak. “Angela.”

The rider turned around to reveal a stunningly beautiful face, with luscious black hair, and an innocent expression. Well . . . except the eyes. The eyes were blank white. “Angela!” came the voice again.

This time, a hooded figure cloaked all in night-black on a pure black horse cantered up to the white woman. “Shut up, Devi. She could be here,” Angela hissed.

The figure in black glanced over her shoulder, giving Aster a fleeting look of her face. The face was identical to Angela’s except with crimson hair, and deep black eyes. The two women scanned the forest, their blank eyes passing right over Aster. “Nothing,” Devi finally said.

“Come on, let’s go. I hate field missions,” Angela muttered. “What was the lord thinking, employing the samouraï to do the refined work?”

Aster didn’t dare to breath until the two riders had disappeared over the crest of the hill. Then, she let out a sigh of relief.

Aster peeked out from behind the tree, and came out onto the smooth dirt path. The white-gold sunlight that was peculiar to the Minonne Region filtered through the leafs, creating a dappled pattern on the forest floor.

Aster tugged her long pink-streaked-black hair. She fingered a violet amulet with the insignia of a squirrel brushed on it.

“It’s beginning again,” she whispered.

Hello everyone! I’m starting a solo write! So . . . you probably know the drill. Fill out the sheet, and wait for me to start writing. I will take three main characters, 10 supports, and an unlimited number of background characters, first come first serve.

So . . . what’s this all about, you ask? Well, the main plot is three people from a couple of different kingdoms meet. The kingdoms are the following:

Minonne - It’s a cute, fairy-tale kingdom. It’s ruled by a council of seven elves, and is mainly populated by elves also. Ideal landlocked tourist destination because of its nice weather and inland scenery

Astere - It’s a nice, middle-class place. Mostly suburbs with the capital city of Columbine. Government is much like modern day U.S.A. Landlocked and inhabited by humanoids - dwarves, elves, kitsune, humans, just creatures that resemble humans in general. It has much of today’s technology.

Dove - It’s a renegade country run by a dictator. Most people there are trained in some degree of fighting. The dictator has power over a powerful army, and a small group of 20 - 50 “rangers” who are basically elite fighters.

Mist - An artistic region resembling ancient Japan, Greece, and Rome all in one. It does not have a powerful defense system, but many people are skilled in martial arts. The weather there is always cold, and it rains a lot. Ruled by an emperor.

So, there’s some background info. If you want to join, fill out the character sheet.
