A short Elvish woman walks around a courtyard, her pale lavender curls falling down her back to her waist. Her forest green eyes stare out at the town that was not far from her own home, worry settling across her face accompanied by fear. She knew that the town would not be safe for too long, as Demons were on the loose, and Angels would also be coming after them. Their only ally was the Humans, and they did not last a chance against beings as powerful as Angels and Demons. Her eyes come across children playing in the fields, running through the town with grins on their faces, giggles coming from their mouths in joy as they play childish and innocent games. "Innocence will be stripped from them due to spilled blood and chaos." She spoke solemnly. "It will befall all of us, and we will perish, or be mortally wounded."

   "You worry too much, dear sister," A pale blonde haired Elvish man speaks, his eyes the same striking color as the woman.

  A small smile comes across the woman's face, her head turning to look at him, "Caspian, how lovely of you to drop by. Does Father need anything?" She questions softly, raising a dark lavender eyebrow.

  "Not currently, although he will probably wish to speak with us shortly, considering there will war preparations that need to be made," Caspian says, sighing softly.

  She nods slightly, "As to be expected. The Great King Andronicus would most surely need to be certain of his plans in the impending battle, as we cannot afford to be bested by the Demons, and the Human race is a poor ally to have."

  He gravely nods, "Why yes, I suppose you are quite correct."

  A tall Elvish man strides out into the courtyard, stopping a few feet away from the pair and speaking. "Princess Aurelia, Prince Caspian, you are needed by King Andronicus in the Throne room."

  "Thank you Arwyl," The woman, Aurelia, sweetly speaks, smiling at the guard, who flushes slightly before walking off.

  Caspian makes a disturbed sound, "That was completely improper and disturbing, I think you enjoy messing with the poor guards, Lia."

  A radiant smile comes across her face, "Come on Cas, you are just annoyed because you thought he was cute." She teases, then walking towards the entrance to the palace. The structure was large, there were huge pillars in the front of it made of what appeared to be rosewood. The dark reddish brown wood was paired with emerald green accents and banners that made the palace an image of pure beauty.

  "He was not that attractive," Caspian mutters, fighting a blush.

  Aurelia's eyes sparkle with amusement, "Of course brother, whatever it is that assists you in sleeping at night."

  He glares at his sister as they arrive in the throne room, a man with a large build sitting in the throne, his turquoise eyes looking at his two children, his long white hair being braided intricately.

  "Ah, Aurelia, Caspian, you've arrived. I wished to speak with you about the war preparations that are going to be prepared by the Council and myself," The King, Andronicus, speaks.

  "Of course, Father," Both of the siblings say, Aurelia curtsying and Caspian bowing.

  "There is no need for formalities currently, there are no guards present, now, come, give your dear old Father a hug," He speaks, rising from the throne as the two twins run up and hug their Father, who chuckles. "Alright. Well, now getting down to business. I want you two to travel to the other Elven cities and towns all throughout Abridale. I would normally recommend the whole realm, but there is not enough time before the war starts. I wish the both of you to accompany the other as it will be dangerous, and there are many threats that lurk in this land."
