Midnight City RP!

Midnight City RP!

Eratrea dashed through the sleeping city, her wild red hair flying around her in the wind. She could hear the hunters behind her, sweeping through the city in pursuit of the girls secrets. Eratrea new the dark history of the Midnight City just as well as any other person, but you would never guess that she was so deeply involved. When the Four Founders of the lands had joined forces and created the nine cities, all focused around the Midnight City, they had accepted help from Ertrea's father, one of the greatest wizards in the Four Lands. He cast a spell across the city to protect it, but something went wrong. The city was plunged into an eternal darkness that can only be ceased by the Jewel. And that's where Eratrea comes in. After her father was executed by the high council, the Jewel had come into her possession. However, the girl was not to fast to join forces with the very people who killed her father. The Jewel contained a secret, you see. The key to destroy the city- and the key to save it from darkness once and for all. And the Hunters, all working for the High Council, were employed to go to any costs to find the Jewel and bring it and the girl before them, dead or alive. Eratrea new there was another option; to escape from the city and protect the Jewel from whatever the High Council had in store for it. She could probably make it- Eratrea was not to be underestimated. But there were so many creatures out there who hungered for the Jewel beyond imagination. And she didn't know if mother could cope without her.

The girl looked left and right across the dark moonlight streets. The Hunt was getting close. Just in time, she  turned to her left and dashed across the street towards a towering oak tree and began to climb. She didn't stop until she was hidden among the branches. She watched, holding her breath, as the Hunters passed beneath the tree. They growled and hissed and howled in such a way that made the girl wonder what the High Council would do with the Jewel if they could. The obvious choice would be to protect the city. But Eratrea just didn't trust those men in black hoods, seated around the round table, talking in whispers about the fate of the people. They were hiding something. Eratrea could sense it.

Sure! Maybe they went to school together despite the two year difference, because Arielle could already read? Or they met when Aine's and Arielle's mothers* was still alive in a marketplace?

I forgot to mention that Aine's mother died when she was eight. Whoops.

Name:  Xylia Rlan

Gender: F

Age: 13

Appearance: almost never seen, been when she has made her appearance, she looks like this:

Xylia is a small and skinny lithe little figure. Her almost white hair floats around her dark face like a halo. Her eyes seem to be gold, but don't look too closely lest you be mesmerized by them. Her dark skin seems to glow despite the color. She usually wears a white tunic and blue leggings, and a heavy iron chain with a mysterious pendent is carefully hidden under the tunic.

Personality: friendly and cheerful when she is not spouting wisdom from an unknown source(that scares her more than it does others). Mostly keeps to herself and gathers information before confronting others. 

Type: human

Background: later

Other: good with a sword.

ok, since I have some time, here is Xylia's background.

Xylia was born to a fair, pale skinned mother and an almost black skinned father. The result was a mix. Her skin is the color of dark chocolate and she has almost white hair. The other children around her stay away because they think she has some kind of strange magic. Her dad disappeared when she was six(her mom thought he knew things about the council that they didn't want revealed) and her mom was imprisoned a few years after. She makes just enough by running errands for a gruff baker. The iron chain around her neck was something she found in the ruins of her home after she escaped from a fire. When she put it on she didn't feel different but something inside her changed. She began spouting wisdom in an unearthly voice at crucial moments. It scared her but she couldn't seem to take the chain off. If anyone ever does get hold of the chain while she still possesses its power, they can control her(she doesn't know this yet).

When she was sure the Hunt had past, Eratrea clambered down the oak. She turned her head, looking left and right and dashed down an old alley way, wrapped in a cloak of shadows. Moonlight left eerie reflections on the puddles at her feet, and Eretrea had the odd feeling she was being watched. Eretrea stopped for a second in the middle of the alley way and slowly looked around her. Nothing. The girl shook her head and continued to walk, a little mote cautiously this time, across the dark alleyway. Eratrea's mind was set on one destination, and nothing would stop her from reaching it. She jogged through the deserted streets, which all looked the same in the shadows. She stopped at the door of a dark little cottage, which seemed to be glowing on the inside. Peeking through the windows, Eratrea could see two people with which she could be herself. She felt herself relax, an the tremor in her hand ceased. She wrapped her fingers around the doorknob, and pushed it open and she was immediately greeted by Arken and Ayova, her two best friends in the whole world. "Eratrea!" Said Ayova, "Where have you been?"

"We were worried sick." Arken added in a murmur.

"There's...there's something I need to tell you." Said Eratrea in barely a whisper.

 

Feel free to start anytime. And please note, even if your charrie is not Ayova or Arken, feel free to add on, in any way you like.

Malik

~~~

He ran around the corner, his eyes flashing to the flat wall infront of him. He heard the voices coming closer. He felt the painful transformation as he transformed into the wolf, wolfs were common here so he would go on unnoticed for now. The lycanthrope hunters ran around the corner. "Dead end." One said in a gruff voice.

"Hah. Too bad we never saw him transform." Another chuckled.

"Tuber, Aster c'mon, we have more lycanthrope to hunt..." The leader growled as the others followed him and walked away.

whiewph... that was too close. He crept away when he heard voices, one was femail, he crept closer doing his besyt to appear as a stray...

~Xylia

Xylia watched from the rooftops as the girl ran and the boy transformed. She knew much about both of them, despite the fact that they knew nothing of her existence. She silently admired thier bravery and abilities. Tonight, the baker had been more frank and brutal than before, and she had shrank under his glare while these people faced the world. Usually, she watched their happenings from afar, but tonight she felt a pull like that from a magnet. Or was this connection better refered to as the strings of fate.

Virin -

I slip through the trees, holding a few pieces of wood. I have to build a new wall for our shelter. I catch sight of a rabbit bounding past. Instead of trying to shoot it, I watch it. It would have been so like Aurelia to do that. Aurelia . . .

--------

Having built the new wall, I head over to the nearby glade to gather some berries. As I reach for a gooseberry, I catch sight of a glint of steel, and barely manage to doge a fast-moving knife. I grab my own fighting knife, and pull myself onto the hedge. A couple of cloaked figures rush out of the shadows. The council! I nearly choke. I don't know what to do. For all I know, one of them coulde be Aurelia! One of the members pulls out another throwing knife.

Galavantized into action, I leap from the tree, shifting into a hawk midair, and one by one, toss back the hoods. At the last one, as I grab the hood, I see the face. It's . . .

--------

Your choice to whom I see! It could be Aurelia! Or it could be someone else!

awesome Mirror!

~Xylia

As she raced between buildings, Xylia was subconsciously aware of the world's happenings. Friends plotting a mischievious scheme, birds fleeing from stray arrows, a girl welcoming her brother back home, earthworms gathering information from the roots of plants, and a young man fighting those of the council. She wasn't sure how she knew or why she knew, but this knowledge prompted her to turn the corner and find the young man. He needed help. She needed balance. Fixing this problem would restore both needs...

Malik

~~

I hear another one running behind me. I halt and turn to sniffthe air, turning to my half form as i did so to  enhanse my senses. Sniff sniff. Female. "Reveal yourself!" I shout "I can smell you."  Then the young woman steped from the shadows.

"Hello, lycanthrope" She said stepping closer.

"What is it that YOU want, Human." 

"You are in need of help." she rasped.

¨ I can keep myselfsafe from the hunters, thank you verry much."

He heard footsteps. Again, female. Possibly the ones whom he had followed.
