It was a dark night in the Kindgdom of Orteria. The Orterian forest, quiet by day and even quieter by night, stood lonely as ever by the end of the land.
"He has dissapeared!" the servant wispered, "The King is gone!"
"It can't be true." Lord Julian said quietly.
"Oh, but it is, my Lord. He has been missing for a whole day. The night has come, and he - he is still no where to be found! We have to let the Royals know!"
"Oh, we will, we surely will. Let it rest till the morning. It is our last hope. If he hasn't appeared by morning sun, we shall spread the news."
Servant gasped in fear. His king was everything he had. He was gentle, brave and treated him as his own. With another ruler in place, his poor destiny would take an even darker turn. Darker then the lonely Orterian woods.

Young lady, around 20, walked into the main hall. She had shiny, blonde hair and hazel green eyes. She was a bit pale with reddish cheeks. For a second, everybody looked her way.
"And you are?" middle aged, red haired woman asked. She had a frowned face and was rather large in the hips area. She was very tall, yet rounded. Like a ball or a pumpkin.
"I'm the-"
"The new lady, of course!" Round woman said, "Well you must be, you are very beautiful in deed. Might be the most beautiful we had yet. You will fit in just fine."
"Actually, I-"
"Quiet, quiet, let me take a good look at you. Your height is mostly average, weight completely acceptabl, and well, you already know I like your face."
"Madam, please l-"
"Madam?? She thinks I'm a madam!! Imagine that!!" The round woman said yet again, gazing at the crowd of beautiful women and middle aged men. She looked at them and laugh, ignoring their obvious looks of uncomfrot.
"I'm the queen of the Kindgdom of Orteria" she said proudly, "Didn't they tell you that before they sent you?? Where were you sent from anyway?"
"Queen, my sincerest apologies. But I am not the new lady, nor was I sent to be one."
"Then who are you?"
"My name is Ophelia Arragon. I'm the sorcerer."
"The sorc- , oh right. Juilan called for a sorcerer." her gaze lowered for a second. She looked a bit lost. "Aren't sorcerers normally men? And ladies like you, well, ladies?"
"On the west maybe, on the east definitely no. In Mardon, we have many more lady sorcerers. As myslef."
"Oh. So a girl can be a lady, and a sorcerer? Interesting. Well, would you be interested in being both here, in Orteria?"
"As flathered as I am, I have to decline. For now at least . I'm not sure how much time the job will take."
"The job? The king, oh right. I'm still under stress it seems. Well, then you can at least stay here while you work. I'm sure you have no better place to be"
"That would be very kind my Queen, indeed I have no other place to go."
"Alright then. Go now. Georgina will lead you to your room. She will be at your service during your stay."
"You have my profound gratitude. I will let myself out." Ophelia said, and with a bow she excited the hall.
Georgina followed. She was a bruinette with dashing olive eyes.
