CW: captivity, chained to a wall, gloating, threats, used as bait, swearing

----------

Luc wasn’t sure how long it had been before something interesting happened. A few hours, perhaps? Not more than a half-day, at least. Unfortunately, with no windows in their cell, there was no way to be certain. He wished he had possessed the forethought to replace his wristwatch after his last outing, which involved falling into the bay and subsequently ruining the device.

Footsteps echoing from outside the cell snapped him out of his thoughts. His head jerked towards the door, startling Damian. “What is it?” The prince asked, eyes darting between Luc and the door.

“Shh!” Luc hissed, “someone’s coming!”

Damian’s eyes widened and he did as ordered, his body tensed up as if ready to run. Luc wanted to do the same, but the chains binding his wrists to the wall were more than capable of keeping him in place.

The footsteps drew closer, and closer, finally pausing outside their cell door. Luc’s heart beat rapidly, thudding in his ears, but he composed his face into a neutral, almost disdainful expression as the key rattled in the lock.

The door opened outward, and a man stood outside. Lavishly dressed in an elegant shirt, black vest, and a blood-red cravat, he had all the appearance of a Zariyan nobleman from the style of his hair to the cut of the vest. Luc knew the fashions of Caenum well enough to determine that while this man appeared to be nobility, he either didn’t ascribe to the city’s current trends or he hadn’t visited in some time. He only recognized the hair because it was similar enough to how Zade Takari, Reese’s father who used to reside in Zariya, wore it.

The nobleman stood in the doorway of the cell and regarded the two prisoners with an expression that could only be described as perplexed. “There were three of them, were there not?”

Luc raised an eyebrow. Did Reese manage to get away? “You talking to me?”

The nobleman waved a hand dismissively. “Ah, well. She’ll be here soon enough. The way the three of them fought together, they seem like a close-knit group.”

“Considering the way your men let her escape,” Luc interrupted, “I’m sure she won’t have any trouble evading them. She’s probably halfway back to Caenum by now.”

The nobleman stared at him, aghast.

“Look,” Luc continued, pretending not to notice, “I apologize if we were trespassing on your property, I really am. We were investigating a lead on a murder, and we truly did not mean to cause any alarm. Now if you could be so kind as to let myself and my apprentice go free, I’m sure my other apprentice would not cause you any trouble. False imprisonment is a serious offense. I should know. I’m a Watcher.”

He kept his eyes fixed on the nobleman, gauging his reaction. The nobleman blinked in surprise at the word ‘murder’, and when Luc casually mentioned that he was a Watcher, his jaw tightened. He glanced to the side, looking at someone out of sight down the hallway.

Luc’s eyes flicked to Damian, who craned his neck trying to peer out the door past the nobleman. “My name is Luc Epsilona,” Luc stated, “I am the resident Watcher of Caenum. You have no right to hold me here.”

If his words phased the nobleman, he didn’t show it. He nodded curtly to the other person in the hallway before turning to his prisoners. “It appears,” he stated, “that your ‘other apprentice’ has yet to depart the premises. Perhaps she has hidden herself somewhere in the house. No, I don’t see reason to let either of you go free, when you will no doubt come back with an army at your disposal.”

“This is unlawful imprisonment,” Luc replied, glossing over the fact that Reese hadn’t done the logical thing and gone for backup. “My colleagues in Caenum and in the nearby town know we were here. When we fail to return from the investigation, questions will be raised.”

“You were warned.”

“So you are the one behind the murders.”

The nobleman smirked. “Partially.”

“So you freely admit involvement? You confess to participating in or freely allowing the killing of several human beings?”

“Call it what you will,” the nobleman stated, stepping back into the hallway. “You call it murder. I call it salvation.”

The door shut, and his footsteps echoed down the hallway. Luc frowned at the door, listening until all he could hear was silence. He sighed. “She thinks too much like a hunter.”

“Reese?” Damian asked.

“Yes. I suspect she intends to either gather evidence before fleeing or attempt to break us out. Perhaps both. He knows it, too.”

“So we’re bait.”

“Yes.”

“Shit.”

So,,,are you all naked when you transform back into human form?

Stan: Yeah.

Craig: Sadly we are. I hate it because you can’t really carry a backpack full of clothes on you either.

Bebe: I actually enjoy it. I get a full view of everyone. *winks*

The Shadows in the Stars

by OboeWanKenobi

The world of Ellesmere is one full of magic. This magic brings life, but also death. The forests are filled with the magic energy that seeps from the Earth. Many species have been able to absorb this energy and meld it into their being. There are two kingdoms who have gone beyond what the magic offers.

The elven kingdom, Zariya, as used this magic for healing and medicine, they called it Galena. They were a peaceful kingdom. The Zariyans were afraid of the humans due to the war machines that their alchemy had created. In response to this, their elders created a magical barrier around the kingdom that kept them hidden from the wars. The Zariyans tried to live simple lives. Though their simple lives might be coming to an end, because on their princess’s eighteenth birthday the prince of Alynthi has asked for her hand in marriage.

🍇 Does your OC have any bad habits? Does your OC have any addictions like smoking or drinking? How did they fall into these habits and why? 

(in response to this ask game)

Best OC for this question is Draven. He wouldn't call himself an alcoholic, but he knows that when he's stressed he will more often than not drown the stress in Zariyan whiskey. On the other side of the coin he also has a strong dependency on caffeine, as a chronic insomniac with a job that rarely allows a good night's sleep. Through some miracle he never got into smoking.

So does anything happen to an elf or human if they are imprinted on by a werewolf?

Stan: Actually no one knows, because there has never really been anything done to study imprinting. But from being around Kyle, I have noticed that she can now smell my scent and that she has become more clingy.

Wendyl: A clingy Kyle, now that is something I would pay money to see.

Stan: It’s really cute actually.

Kyle: You two better not be talking about me!

[zariyanaskblog-blog]

How does imprinting work exactly?

Stan: Well imprinting is a topic that isn’t talked about a lot, but I do have some knowledge on it. Imprinting is basically when you discover your soulmate. Yes they are real. As humans or elves we can’t pick up who our soulmate is. With the bonding of a wolf you are able to find them. When you imprint on someone they become your life. You watch for them, take care of them, and are all around there for them. Sometimes if something tragic happens you will turn feral and attack anything that comes in contact with your person. From talking with others that I know have imprinted, it varies depending on the person. For me, I knew I imprinted when the world literally stopped and all I saw was Kyle. There was no one else but us. It’s pretty magical. 

[zariyanaskblog-blog]

{So, you all wanted a big post. ATM there is a war happening between the humans and elves due to Kyle (will explain later in this post) Here is the world of Ellesmere and her people. Warning long post ahead!}

Ellesmere:

Ellesmere is mostly forest land with various mountain ranges.

Zariya is where the elves live. It has various mountain regions within in it. The capital of Zariya is located in the center. That is where the kingdom is. The farther out from the kingdom you go the less populated the area becomes. Many of the woodland creatures now live in this area due to the humans destroying woodland areas for their cities and villages. Some of the animals that you’ll see are deer, elk, wolves, rabbits, various birds, mountain lions. There is a magical barrier that protects Zariya from the humans. It is about thirty miles wide. The farther into the barrier the humans get the more their brain becomes fog.

Lithelle is largest human region. Lithelle is flat land that is rich of copper and gold. This is where the metal alchemist will live to make and mold the weapons, armor, and other items for the capital. This is where the werewolf camps are located. There are other experiments that happen here, but no one knows for sure what it is.

Ravaryn is where all the farming villages are located. The soil is rich and never seems to lose their nutrients. Many believe this is where the magical energy radiates from the most.

Kikoro is the fishing ports and small rural villages. It is the poorest of the human colonies.

Findare is a hilly area that is rich of silver. The people of Findare make many of the weapons that the soldiers of the castle will use. They also will make everyday items that are sold in Cantrick.

Cantrick is the second wealthiest place is Ellesmere. All the worlds shops are located there. It is overcrowded and crime is very high. Toward the center of it is where the more rundown and sketchier looking shops are. They say that you can find some of the rarest goods there if you know who to ask.

Alynthi is considered the capital of Ellesmere by the humans. It is where the kingdom of the humans is located. It looks like something out of fairytale. The city is made mostly of metal and brick. In the morning it shine brightly under the rising sun. During that time they call it the pure hour. Toward the center of town is where the castle is located. It is surrounded by giant walls to keep the common people out. The finest alchemy schools are located in Alynthi. The city is always busy with people working, going to school, and selling items. The farther out you travel though you are more likely to see poverty stricken areas.

Ellesmere’s facts:

The elven kingdom has used this magic for healing and medicine, they called it Galena. While the human kingdom has used the magic energy for alchemy; they called it Vitriol.

Alynthins were peaceful people until they were given this energy.

Since the discovery of alchemy, they have been able to advance rapidly. They learned how to sculpt and make things from simple objects around them. By discovering this they were able to explore more of Ellesmere by using mechanical horses that ran at speeds much faster than a regular horse. They were also able to make weapons of war. They used these weapons to capture small kingdoms and villages.

Not a hundred years had passed before they had various colonies throughout the land.

The elven kingdom were peaceful. The Zariyans were afraid of the humans due to the war machines that their alchemy had created. In response to this, their elders created a magical barrier around the kingdom that kept them hidden from the wars. Those who walked close to the kingdom minds were filled with a haze that made them forget what they were doing.

Races

Humans:

Humans have been around since the beginning of time.

They do not possess the magic ability to heal. They can create life, but not help it.

Even though there are various colonies, all humans are called Alynthians.

They are a monarchy.

They are a monotheistic religion.

Their god is called Tersele and they are the one who gave them magic. 

They don’t believe that the Earth gave them their magical abilities.

Everyone is born with the ability to use alchemy, but as they get older some people will lose it.

Everyone in the royal family are highly skilled in all three types of alchemy. They just don’t rely on it much and they don’t lose their powers

At the age of 10 is when they begin alchemy school.

At the school they learn three types of alchemy: Combat Alchemy Creation Alchemy Metalist Alchemy

Elves:

The history of the elves origin is unknown. Many of the elders believe that they once came from the human race, but the magical energy changed their makeup and caused them to use the magic differently.

They cannot do alchemy. Many have tried, but they just do not possess that type of magic.

Not many people though can use galena now. Only a rare few can. Those who can have the elders teach them about the healing and medicine they can do.

They start school as early as 5

They are a monarchy.

They are a monotheistic:

The Goddess of the Forest: Fersety

She watches over the wildlife and protects them during the hunt

Believes that she gives them galena

They have a ceremony that everyone must go through when they become of age. In this ceremony the elf gets their markings. The person wears the ceremonial white robe. It symbolizes the purity that they person posses from childhood. They then are submerged into water and when they rise it symbolizes the rebirth into adulthood. When galena is used their markings light up. How the ceremony is conducted varies depending on your status.

Royal family:

You are in a sacred room that is filled with water that has been blessed by the elders. The elders chant for the Goddess to bless them as they receive their marking. During this they might experience visions of both the past and future.

People of nobility:

The person does it in a pool at their local temple. The water has been blessed by the elders, but it is their religious leaders that chant while they are submerged. They will get visions, but they are not as powerful since it is not the elders chanting.

Commoners:

The person does it in the local ponds and lakes with the religious leaders of their village. Since the water is not blessed, they are less likely to see visions. 

Werewolves:

Were created fifty years ago by Cartman’s grandfather.

Only humans can become werewolves.

They have increase in speed, smell, strength, and hearing

They are all under Cartman’s control

Many die during the bonding of the wolf

Werewolves can imprint on people

When a werewolf imprints the following happens:

They can smell their scent

They go feral if anything were to happen to them

They obey what they are commanded by their person (if they aren’t a fellow werewolf)

{Here is everything!}

[zariyanaskblog-blog]

{Hello all, I have had a few asks about me making a post about the world. I have these two: Ellesmere and Human Magic. Would you all like a more detailed one talking about the events and more specific details about Stan, Kyle, Kenny, Butters, Craig, Tweek, Clyde, Bebe, and Cartman? We can do it through asks or I can just make a big post about it. Let me know what you want!}

[zariyanaskblog-blog]

Kyle!!!!!!!!! Are you okay?????? Is Ike doing okay?????

Kyle: *looks down* Physically I am okay. Mentally…that’s another story. With the attack on my village and Ike dy… *covers mouth and closes eyes* I’m sorry. Craig: *puts hand on Kyle’s shoulder* Everyone is doing okay. There are wounded, but the elven elders are taking care of them.

[zariyanaskblog-blog]

For Princess Kenny! And also Kyle and Wendyl! Are you guys trans, or is this a genderbend? Just wanted to pop in and say I love you all! 🥰

Everyone: We love you too! ~~~

{Wendyl is gender neutral. Kyle and Kenny are genderbent}

[zariyanaskblog-blog]

Kenny: Everyone else left me behind, so send me some asks!

{Kenny is available for asks!}

[zariyanaskblog-blog]

So is vitriol actual magic that the humans use or the shards that were found by Cartman's dad and father?

Wendyl: I am pretty sure none of these people can answer this so I will. So the humans look at magic differently than us elves. They see their magic as more of alchemy, even though it isn’t true alchemy because they don’t give something in return. They have a magical ability to change, bend, or bring life to the things that they use. Vitriol to them is an element. It comes in three different forms: solid vitriol, pure vitriol, and raw vitriol. Solid vitriol is the metals that they use to make anything. I.e. gold and silvers. When they use it the items will have a glow. Pure vitriol is the melted down versions of the metals that they use. It is the liquid that is pumped through the horses that they have. It has a red glow to it. I have heard that they use pure vitriol in the bullets they make for their weapons of war. Raw vitriol is newly discovered to them. From what I have studied at the castle, it seems to be a crystal that glows purple. They don’t know what to use it for since it is poisonous to those who are near it. I am hoping to study it more while I am here.

{WENDYL IS OPEN FOR QUESTIONS}

[zariyanaskblog-blog]

Will Craig, Tweek, Clyde, Bebe, and Cartman eventually be added?

[If you all would like them to! The people asking are the people who are in the story atm. But I would like to add them if you all would like]

[zariyanaskblog-blog]

What does Ellesmere look like? Also, what is everyone's race?

Kyle: Wendyl beat this into my brain as a kid. They would be disappointed if I didn’t answer this.

Kyle: This is the lovely Ellesmere. It is mostly forest land with various mountain ranges. Ellesmere produces this magical energy that we over time have absorbed. There, at the time of my class, are only two races; human and elves. Humans use vitriol. We use galena. We use to live together until the humans made these weapons of war with their vitriol. The elders of Zariya were terrified so they created a magical barrier that keeps the humans out. One hundred years have passed and Ellesmere is now divided into colonies. 

Kyle: This is what Ellesmere looks like now. Excuse my handwriting. I am from Zariya. The kingdom and main town are located at that small little lake. Then the farther out you go there are villages. Over the years the population of wildlife has grown due to humans destroying forests. I don’ t know a lot about the human colonies. All I know are their names. There is Lithelle, Ravaryn, Kikoro, Findare, Cantrick, and Alynthi. Alynthi is the capital of the humans and where my betrothed lives. I think Kenny could tell you more about them. 

Stan: I think you’ve talked enough. They are probably wanting to know about us.

Kyle: Oh yeah! I forgot there was another part to the question. I’m an elf and the princess of Zariyan.

Stan: I use to be human, but now I am a werewolf. I come from a small fishing village in Kikoro. But, now I go wherever Kyle goes since I am her body guard. 

Kenny: I also come from Kikoro. I am a fucking princess duh. 

Butters: Oh, jeez. I guess it’s my turn. I am from Ravaryn. I was asked to be Kenny’s guard whenever she became princess. 

[zariyanaskblog-blog]

Craig and Tweek: Do you all have paintings too (that is what I call your icons)?

Craig: We do. Here’s mine.

Tweek: Here is mine!
