Heir's Quarters

The Heir stays here. It is like a smaller, blue version of the Empress' Quarters. It also has its own personal bathroom and a huge dresser.

The Heir

Selena had called Fallera to the Throne Room. Fallera had raced there from Korekai Village as fast as she could, her bow and arrows clattering against her back as she ran. She skidded into the marble floored room. "Your Majesty! Sorry I'm late," she panted. Selena smiled at her.

"It's okay," she said. The 16 year old boy from next to her smiled at Fallera as well.

The huntress raised an eyebrow at the boy. "And who're you?"

"I'm Kenny Wren. The new heir." He flicked his head at her casually.

'Kenny Wren', huh? Fallera put her hand on her hip. "Yeah? What have you done to earn that role?"

"Fallera..." Selena said slowly and warningly. Fallera ignored her.

Kenny stared right back at Fallera. "Yeah, Fallera. Be careful. Don't question me."

Fallera glared at Kenny. "Look. I'm the freakin' Lieutenant Huntress. Not a stupid peasant. So you'd better back off, punk." She gave Kenny a last glower, then stalked out of the room.

Selena gave Kenny an apologetic look. "Sorry, Kenny. She's just... temperamental."

Kenny shrugged. "It's okay."

Selena sighed, then tossed him a key, which he caught deftly. "Go to your room and settle down. It's across the hall from mine. Just do whatever." She stood up and, with a sweep of her robes, left down into the Servants' Quarters to visit Reo.

Infirmary

The Infirmary is, perhaps surprisingly, not inside the Dark Palace but just outside it so others can get to the Healer faster. There are many cabinets and places to store medicines and medical instruments. There are also many stretchers and beds for the injured and/or ill.

Newcomers

Fallera dragged a frightened blonde and an annoyed-looking boy into the Throne Room. "Your Majesty!" She called.

Selena quickly stood up from her throne and went over to the two people. "Newcomers?" She asked of the Lieutenant Huntress.

"Yes, Majesty."
She studied the two carefully. Finally, she nodded to Fallera, who returned the nod and left. "Your names."
The blonde squeaked, "My... my name is Hanashi Itsumo."
"I'm Reo," the boy said curtly.

Selena watched them with interested eyes. "And you are interested in joining?"
"Well, I don't wanna be killed," Reo replied. Selena glared at him for a second, then smiled. "Good point." She walked back to her throne and sat in it. "So what ranks are you interested in joining?"
"Well, I'm good at healing, so I'll be a healer?" Hanashi's answer was more like a question.

"I'll make you the Healer," the Empress told her, whipping out a piece of parchment and writing something down on it. "Reo?"
"I... I'm not sure."
"How about servant, Reo? We need some of those." Selena looked kindly upon the boy.

"Um... okay."
"Then you can go to the Servants' Quarters. Choose whatever room and bed you want. Your new clothing will be in a dresser by your bed, and everything you'll need will be there as well. Hanashi, you can go to the Infirmary. Okay?" Selena folded her parchment up and put them away.

(URG. BAD POST. Sorry.)

The Port

The Port is where most of our foreign supplies come in. It is where the other Islands send their messengers over to our island to talk with the Empress. It is very well guarded, as it is a huge access point to the Realm.

The Beach

This is where most of the survivors and lost sailors wash up every once in a while. Therefore, it is also well guarded. It is cold and windy here, and the sand is dense and hard. The waters are freezing.

The Gates

This is the official entrance to the Draco Realm. There are many knights and guards stationed at the gates, protecting the people of the Realm.

The Entrance

This is the Entrance to the Dark Palace. There are many guards here to protect the great, heavy gates.

Conference Room

This is the place where the Empress usually meets with the High Advisor, General, and/or Lieutenant Huntress.

Kitchen

The kitchen is where the Royal Chef spends most of his/her time. It is stocked full of cooking tools and ingredients to create many, many feasts.

Servants' Quarters

There are three halls of bedrooms for the servants to sleep in. Two servants share a room. Their work may be hard and demanding, but their accommodations and food are actually quite nice.

Empress' Quarters

This is where the Empress sleeps. There is a huge bed, with tables and couches. It is definitely an Empress' room.

Dining Room

This is where Royalty dine. There is a large, long table in the center of the room with seats enough for forty people to sit at. Though this is where the Empress is supposed to eat normally, she prefers to eat in her room.

Throne Room

The Throne Room is where Royalty meet their subjects, messengers, and servants. There are three thrones, one large, intricately decorated one which has two smaller ones on each side of it. The Empress sits on the middle one, and her husband or lover and her child sit on the other ones.

JOIN

You slowly blink open your eyes, shaking off your dizziness. What happened? The last thing you remembered was that your ship crashed, leaving you and one or two other survivors alive. Where are they? Are they okay? You whirl around looking for them on the cold, windy beach. Ah, there they are. You would have laughed at their confusion and disorientation if you weren't so messed up as well. Suddenly there's a voice behind you. "Who are you?" The girl's voice is cold and hard. You turn around, startled, to find yourself face-to-face with a fierce-looking 17 year old girl with black hair and black eyes. "I...I..." You stammer.

The girl rolls her eyes. "Whatever. Look. Since you've found us, I'm going to have to keep you here. I can't let you go to any of the other Islands, because you might tell them what our island looks like, and that would be bad. So you have two choices." She stares you right in the eyes, her gaze chilling. "One, I kill you and those other guys." Her silver dagger, however, doesn't seem very welcoming. Especially if it's going to be stabbing your stomach. "Two, you get your friends over here and join the Draco Realm."

The Bloody Stream

This is one of the only places of the Realm that is not covered by shadows and darkness. It is named after the scarlet water and red soil on the riverbanks. It is said that Rimskov Korakoff, the evil prince from three hundred years ago, killed his own brother at this very place. The blood from the murder seeped into the river, and the water ran forever red, the sand on the banks forever tainted crimson.

This is where knights, huntresses, the General, and the Lieutenant Huntress train to battle and fight the enemies of their beloved realm. There are many practice dummies and spare weapons for you to use.

Korakai Village

A cheerful little village very much unlike most of the rest of this Realm. It is filled with peasants, farms, shops, restaurants, and huts where the peasants live.

The Forest of the Unknown

This forest is full of dense undergrowth, plants, and deadly creatures. The reason for its name is the many creatures that are still to be studied and discovered. It is extremely dangerous, and weaker beings could easily perish within its depths.

Death Lake

This is a freezing cold lake, with a dark magic in it that if you are in it for too long, your muscles and organs freeze, drowning and killing you. Inside are thousands of dark creatures, evils of all sorts.
