Daye was looking out for the tower on the island off of sparklesun, desolate and hostile, she had been cast out for being the younger sister, therefore deemed useless to men - she waited for her futre husband to arrive, every day looking out across the sea....every day being disappointed....

((OOC: With a little more information I might be interested in this thread))

this looks interesting

Bump for interest.

((Another Interest bump... I can think of a reason why my country would send people to yours since we are both in the Anti-Terror Conference, and the fact that you're people crashed in my country.

OOC: Yes, the princess's hand in marriage would form a powerfiul alliance with the mainland and the other little islands dotted around.

Daye could see a yacht coming close to the shore, she did not know it was the yacht of Robert Courtenay, a wealthy businessman who had been fascinated by the world of business.

Robert was standing at the front of the yacht when he noticed a young maiden walking around. She noticed him and waved, it seemed she wanted him to come on the shore, so he anchored the yacht and came onto the shore, walking towards Daye. Was this young man to be Daye's future husband?

she looked at the man.
'have you sailed off course?' she asked, she looked concerned, he didnt seem the usual type to sail by out of choice.

"Actually, I have not sailed off course. I was just passing by when I saw you beckoning me over, so I landed." Robert said to the young woman.

'oh alright, my apologies - are you hungry? would you like something to drink?' she asked.

'oh how silly of me, I am Princess Daye of Sicilia, this small island is mine' she added.

'oh alright, my apologies - are you hungry? would you like something to drink?' she asked.

'oh how silly of me, I am Princess Daye of Sicilia, this small island is mine' she added.

"You are a princess?" Robert said before giving a small bow to this woman who he had found out was a princess. "My name is Robert, and I would like some food and drink." Robert said.

she smiled.
'Yes....doesn't seem right does it?' she smiled.

she lead him to the tower and the kitchens, she made him some food and poured him some wine.

'I am here for my life, I cannot leave, my father exiled me when I was young, he went mad' she said looking down.

Inteligence reports are often mountains high. They contain masses of material that can never be trully mentally processed by the men at the top of the chain who are expected to read them. Yet there was something in an offhand note about the political sittuation in a small chain of islands that just caught the deep blue eyes of Marcus Teivel. The story of a monarchy and an offhand note about the younger royal daughter being classified as worthless due to her inferior position of royalty. There was some sort of read he had almost instantly, a sense of intrigue in this person and this nation.

At DEFCON 4 and with no immediate need for him he immediately filed the papers for the placement of a number of his units on detatched duty. It was time for a diplomatic visit, strategic interests in the region were reason enough but he couldn't help but feel the need to see this maiden during the trip.

When Allied Tion, Solomons Reach and Latoma amalgamated finding a place for the royal family that had governed in Latoma for years had resulted in the creation of the Royal Household. The New President had taken the name and technically become head of the Teivel household but the old royal family, now represented only by young prince Marcus of 25 maintained a role as a symbolic institution and one with it's own household forces.

Serving the Alliance at the head of the Royal Guards regiments of the Trinitiy alliance executive forces, Marcus Teivel was a well built product of superb training, upbringing and genetics. At 25 he had already achieved tertiary level qualifications, served in two military campaigns and been at the forfront of largely autonomous diplomatic initiatives answering only to the President, Daniel Teivel. He was unmaried and still something of a youthful romantic but at the same time, a perfect stateman.

Marcus had embarked within fourty minutes onboard the EFS-Sovereign his personal vessel and set a course. He sent word Forward.

To: The King of Sparklesun
From: Prince Marcus Teivel

Your majesty. It is my humble request that i be allowed to conduct a diplomatic visit to your noble nation in the interests of fostering a strong relationship between us.

On a more personal note.
I would request the princess Daye be present for my arival, i have a wish to meet the maiden who i must admit has sparked some personal interest on my part.

All data regarding my rank, position, personality, history and other relevent information will be freely provided.

Provided you are in agreement i should be on location in a short while onboard the EFS Sovereign.

((you can't let Latin Byzantines have them both, ))

she smiled.
'Yes....doesn't seem right does it?' she smiled.

she lead him to the tower and the kitchens, she made him some food and poured him some wine.

'I am here for my life, I cannot leave, my father exiled me when I was young, he went mad' she said looking down.

"I did not expect to be talking to a princess." Robert said as they walked to the tower. As she gave him some food and drink, Robert thanked her.

"You were...banished here?" Robert asked, a bit surprised. "How did your father go mad?" Robert said.

'he got too powerful, then....he asked me to...kill him....he was beyond help, so I did and I got sent here as a punishment' she stood by the window, she tried not to cry.

she turned with a little tear down her cheek, when he had finished eating and drinking she washed up and smiled.

'some princess life I have' she said smiling, taking off her rubber gloves.

Robert tried to comfort her. "I am sorry for what has happened to you."

Robert helped Daye wash up and looked at her for a bit, before a thought came into his mind "Perhaps you can show me around your island?"

'I'd love you, we'll take the RC' she said, she changed into un-princess attire,some jeans and a black hooded top.

'I know I know...I don't wear dresses all the time' she said smiling at Robert. she then climbed up into the big 4x4, waited for him to get in, then drove around the country trail.

CVS HQ, Skgorria City:

"Sir?"

Silence. Baramovic knocked again, louder this time.

"Sir? Are you alright?"

Still nothing. Uneasily, Baramovic loosened his pistol in its holster, and pushed open his bosses door. Then grinned. The old man was out of it, asleep, with an empty bottle of schnapps beside him. On the desk was the report Baramovic had tried to discuss earlier, with the scrawled comment 'TOSH' on the title page. Glancing at the new report he carried, Baramovic was glad that his boss was asleep. Placing it on the top of his 'In' tray, Baramovic lowered the blinds and closed the door behind him.

Unbeknown to him, the 'In' tray was in the wrong place. Ten minutes later, when Ostmak awoke, he automatically wrenched the top file off his 'Out' tray, glanced at its colour tag - green - and called for his secretary...

Barracks Four-F, the Atopian Wasteland:

"Are you sure about this, Colonel?"
"It comes from the top, Major. We're to deploy a squad of Wulfen to, it would appear, locate and apprehend some minor royal."
"But... why, sir?"
"I haven't the faintest idea. Ours not to reason why and all that I suppose. Which squad is at best readiness?"
"That'd be Sigma-Six, sir, they've finished their final course of drugs and gene-therapy; all of them are on extensive long-term gland secretions now."
"Excellent. Forewarn the Insertion Squadron, and prep a briefing."
"Sir."

'I'd love you, we'll take the RC' she said, she changed into un-princess attire,some jeans and a black hooded top.

'I know I know...I don't wear dresses all the time' she said smiling at Robert. she then climbed up into the big 4x4, waited for him to get in, then drove around the country trail.

Robert smiled back at her as he got into the 4x4. As they explored the island, Robert got a good look at things, including his "tour guide", who he had found out was a princess. "Thank you for the tour." Robert said to her. "It was quite informative."

'I am glad you thought so - perhaps it could be a part time job!' she smiled, she took his hand to dragged him through some bushes to an opening, beautiful lake with birds and fish living free, the lush thick greenery making it look so alive.

'Isnt it just..amazing?' she asked.

'I am glad you thought so - perhaps it could be a part time job!' she smiled, she took his hand to dragged him through some bushes to an opening, beautiful lake with birds and fish living free, the lush thick greenery making it look so alive.

'Isnt it just..amazing?' she asked.

"It is amazing indeed." Robert said, looking around. "If you were a tour guide, I would hire you." Robert said to Daye. "Lady, do you often come to this part of the island?"

'I am sure you would' she said standing closer to him.
'only when i need time to think....' she said.

'I am sure you would' she said standing closer to him.
'only when i need time to think....' she said.

"I would, because you are a good tour guide." Robert said, standing closer to her. "If I may ask, what do you think about while you are here?" Robert asked curiously.

she felt him get closer to her, she turned and looked up at him, her skin perfect and her eyes glistening.
'thinking about when a man would come save me....in essence....no lies'

she felt him get closer to her, she turned and looked up at him, her skin perfect and her eyes glistening.
'thinking about when a man would come save me....in essence....no lies'

Robert looked at Daye, their eyes connecting. He thought about what she said to him before he finally spoke. "I can be that man. You can come with me on my yacht if you would like." Robert said.

she felt her heart flutter.
'I mean...its a bit soon? is it not?' she asked, blushing

she felt her heart flutter.
'I mean...its a bit soon? is it not?' she asked, blushing

"Sorry if I asked too soon." Robert said. "If I may ask, mind if I stay here overnight? Do you have a guest room?"

'no...but....theres always my room' she said.

'that tower was built for an exile....just one room' she said with a smiile.

"So..." Sergei Golsmovich, a Red Tide Mafia Enforcer, inquired, "We are here to kidnap a princess and bring her back to Xenocide?"

Tolivomich Golomko, a RTM Soldat, nodded, "Da... she tells us what she knows about the political system in her nation so as to help us infiltrate it better."

"Hmmm..." And do we know what she looks like?" Sergei asked.

"Yes..." 'Toli' said, handing his underling a picture.

"Well now..." Sergei said, then stated, "I would like to-"

"Go any further and you are Nekulturny." The Soldat interrupted.

"Alright, alright." His assigned enforcer replied.

The freighter was going to pause its sail near the island today, it would stay there for three days while Toli and Sergei completed their mission.

It did and the two men landed by rowboat, both men carrying AK-74 Assualt Rifles.

'no...but....theres always my room' she said.

'that tower was built for an exile....just one room' she said with a smiile.

As they walked back to the tower, Robert began to talk to Daye. "I can sleep on the ground in the tower, I do not mind it." He was thinking about explaining about earlier, but he decidied not to.

'no....honestly....I get lonely, the pipes bang at night' she said quietly.
she felt a strange buzz, high pitched squeakgo through her ear.
'somethings not right....' she said.

OOC: red tide 2, i am leaving now - however I am leaving my character to LB to rp with his.....

Somewhere approaching enemy airspace, 500 feet above sea level:

"Right," yelled the loadmaster, "prep for drop! The LZ might be hot! Five minutes to green!"

He was answered by sharp grunts and snarls as the Wulfen of Sigma-Six twitched; their gland secretions were running on overdrive and many had already begun to foam as they became, quite literally, combat monsters.

They were not mad, far from it. Simply supercharged enhanced humans, designed for shock and terror insertions. They had a mission objective and they would complete it... or die trying.

And that objective? The princess, in her ivory tower...

OOC: Atopiana - why are you trying to take my princess?

OOC: Atopiana - why are you trying to take my princess?

OOC: The CVS has made a mistake, and sent a hit-team to rescue your princess from her enemies.

Sergei and Toli walked along, Ak-74s slung on their backs. Toli had earlier explained to Sergei that, besides the pier, there was only one building on the island, a tower with the princess.

"Alright... its a simple snatch-and-grab... Hide..." Tolui said as he spotted the Atopianans.

They both fell behind a tree, Ak-74s in hand.

"They look Atopianan..." Toli said.

"Know any English?" Sergei replied.

"Da, thats why I am here. Put your gun on the ground and come out with your hands in the open. We might be here for the same thing."

They both dropped their Ak-74s and walked out, displaying their hands clearly to the Atopianans.


"Excuse me!" Toli yelled in English to them, "We are new here... I presume you come for the same thing we do?"

'no....honestly....I get lonely, the pipes bang at night' she said quietly.
she felt a strange buzz, high pitched squeakgo through her ear.
'somethings not right....' she said.

OOC: red tide 2, i am leaving now - however I am leaving my character to LB to rp with his.....

Robert listened to what Daye had to say, and he replied: "If you want me to sleep in your room, I can do that." He then looked at Daye, her expression changing as she listened to the squeak go through her ear. "What is wrong?" Robert asked.

Sergei and Toli walked along, Ak-74s slung on their backs. Toli had earlier explained to Sergei that, besides the pier, there was only one building on the island, a tower with the princess.

"Excuse me!" Toli yelled in English to them, "We are new here... I presume you come for the same thing we do?"

Noses whipped round as the picket Wulfen snarled gutturally at the newcomers. One, curling his hands into claws (an action which unsheathed his combat gloves' ferro-titanium fighting blades), howled.

A sound to chill the blood.

A sound to freeze the heart.

A sound to raise the hackles of all who heard it, triggering a deep, dark, ancient fear.

The fear of the beast; the fear of the night.

Eyes that saw at night as clearly as if it were day illuminated the two unarmed men.

Other eyes watched. Rifle scopes hummed gently as they scanned the area, scents were filtered through enhanced noses, and ears pricked at every movement.

In a burst of muscle and energy, the pickets moved. Fast as greased lightning, as smoothly as oil, they leapt, a half-screamed half-growled roar issuing from their throats as combat stimms glanded into their neural pathways and boosted their already improved reflexes and reactions. Before anyone could move, they would be upon them...

...with other, less frenzied Wulfen steadily moving towards the tower whilst their pack brothers covered the fighting pair.

IC: Both Sergei and Toli froze when they saw(well, heard and saw) the humanoid wolfs* in Atopianan combat gear howl and rush them.

"OH SHI-!" Sergei managed to scream, but only because he was behind Toli, they quickly found themselves pinned to the ground.**

"Just wanted to talk?" Toli said in English, meekly.

OOC: *This is the correct analysis of these commandos, right?

**I presume their intention was to pin, not to kill. Can we go with that? I want to make a deal.

Robert listened to what Daye had to say, and he replied: "If you want me to sleep in your room, I can do that." He then looked at Daye, her expression changing as she listened to the squeak go through her ear. "What is wrong?" Robert asked.

'we must hide, there are riflemen about....' she said, grabbing his hand.
'there is no time.....' she added, they ran to a cave. Hoping that they would be safe there at least for a while

OOC: so Atopiana are trying to attack the princess & Red tide are trying to attack the attackers...am i right?

'we must hide, there are riflemen about....' she said, grabbing his hand.

Robert went with Daye into the cave, he could see her holding onto him. "Hopefully they will not find us here." Robert said to Daye. He thought about the riflemen as he sat in the cave with Daye.

she smiled, she held onto his hand tightly.
'I don't know why...perhaps they want me?' she asked, looking thoughtful.

she smiled, she held onto his hand tightly.
'I don't know why...perhaps they want me?' she asked, looking thoughtful.

"I am thinking that is why there are here, but I do not know why they would want you." Robert said, holding Daye's hand.

she looked at him, she looked so scared behind her beauty.

'the neighbouring nation has better army than us, they usually come to our aid, i think they have' she said, she sat close to him a tear running down her cheek.

'I don't know why they want me.....i hope they don't want to kill me'

'I don't know why they want me.....i hope they don't want to kill me'

Robert held her close to him and tried to comfort Daye. He wiped the tear from her cheek and said: "Daye, as long as we do not make too much noise, they may not be able to find us here."

she held onto him close, she was cold, her hair was soft and silky.
she did not say anything, she reached up and kissed his cheek.

Robert smiled at her and held her to him, trying to warm her a bit. He did not say anything but looked at her after she kissed him.

She looked back at him.
'what?' she asked quietly.

Daye looked outside and it started to rain, like a light drizzle.

She looked back at him.
'what?' she asked quietly.

Daye looked outside and it started to rain, like a light drizzle.

"I did not say anything." Robert replied quietly. "You could have heard the rain outside."

'but you were looking at me, I thought I had done something wrong'

'but you were looking at me, I thought I had done something wrong'

"Daye, you did nothing wrong."

she smiled back and carried on being close to him, she smelt blood, the smell was geting stronger..

she smiled back and carried on being close to him, she smelt blood, the smell was geting stronger..

BUMP....

((this thread is now for Latin Byzantines and myself.....))

The next day came and Robert was having breakfast. For some reason, he wanted to look at Daye, something about her enchanted him, it made him want to turn his eyes to gaze upon her for many minutes at a time. He thought about it for a while, and thought that perhaps..it was love he was feeling for her.

she smiled.
'are you ok?' she asked smiling at his staring gaze.

She wanted to not be in exile, she thought she could see a great ruler in Robert, but she didn't think he would feel the same.

she smiled.
'are you ok?' she asked smiling at his staring gaze.

She wanted to not be in exile, she thought she could see a great ruler in Robert, but she didn't think he would feel the same.

Robert smiled at Daye and said nothing for a while, as he was thinking about Daye. Then, he began to speak in a calm tone.

"Daye....I think that...over the course of the time we have been together..I think I have grown to...love you."

she smiled.
'I have the same feeling too' she replied, holding his hand tighter.

she smiled.
'I have the same feeling too' she replied, holding his hand tighter.

Robert was a bit amazed and smiled back at Daye. "Daye...what would you like to do today?" he asked.
