Arnook Island, Northern Sea
A small, cliffed island stood in the center of a tranquil sea. To the East you could see the mainland of Northern Sea. In the calm waters around the island, 6 massive Northern Sea Battleships patrolled around the island. On the west side of the island was a small port, and there was an airfield on the north side. In the middle of the island, among the highlands, stood an extravagant mansion.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Arnook Manor

Inside the island manor, in the grand hall, workers were busy at work. A stage was being finished as the last members of the orchestra had arrived and set up on the stage. Workers finished setting the tables in the dining room adjacent to the hall, and the lounges surrounding the hall were completely furnished. The chief of northern Sea, Cardon Arnook, stepped out into the hall. He wore a suit with a blue dress shirt and a white tie. His tan face smiled as he saw his daughter's birthday hall in its utter beauty. By the buffet, there were several fountains or different drinks and intricate ice sculptures. His servant, Miles Thompson, greeted him and asked if the room was sufficient.

"Wonderful job, Miles. Ember will be so happy. I can’t believe my little girl is turning 17."

"I know sir," Miles replied, checking last minute preparations on his PDA, "I've watched her grow up so much. Where is she now?"

"She's with my sister in law, Minerva. They're messing with makeup or hair or something." he said. He looked as the blue crystal doors at the top of the grand staircase, where his daughter would appear as soon as all the guests had arrived.

"They should be here anytime now, sir." Miles said as the sun began to set on the horizon, casting a beautiful orange glow in the hall.

OOC: THE PARTY HAS BEGUN

Arnook Island, Northern Sea

General John Macked, the new Commandant of the Marine Corps, was at the controls of the B707 that was coming into sight of the airfield, aboard was his 23 year old daughter, Elizabeth, a pretty young lady, with long, dark hair, and some make up, and brown eyes. She was in the co-pilots seat, and John said on the radio "Arnook Airfield, this is Bulldog Two, we are coming in for the 17th Birthday Party of Ember, we request permission to land at the field over?"

"You are all clear to land on lane 2, Over" a voice responded. Then it continued "Welcome to Northern Sea"

Elizabeth took over the controls and the radio, at her father's command and she replied "Thank you, we're happy to be here." She gently retracted the throttles, and pulled back on the yoke for a nice smooth landing! John chuckled and he said "You're a better pilot then I am, thinking of joining the Air Force?" She looked at him and said "Yes, I'm inspired by Uncle John.." General Macked thought about his friend, who was Vice President, and Archbishop, and as they taxied on the taxiways, he said "Well, I hope you'll be on your best behavior.." As Elizabeth untied her tennis shoes that she wore for flying and took off her socks, and from her purse grabbed two 3 inch high heels, she replied "I will Papa, thank you for letting me come along as your co-pilot?" She applied some perfume, and as they came to a stop, she turned off the various switches, and her father turned off the engines.

A man, neatly groomed, with a perfectly cut beard and wearing a nice suit walks in. He just exited off of a garbage barge, completely empty.

He removes his glasses, and hooks them onto the pickaxe strapped to his back. He is carrying a large, wrapped present. He places it on the table.

OOC: The present is a large hunk of gold, encased in natural crystal.

IC2: He sits down, reading a newspaper.

As Elizabeth and her father stepped out of the plane, a servant greeted them "Welcome," she said as she opened the door to a small, sleek blue town car, "Get in this car and it will take you to the manor"

The General was in his shiny blue Marine Corps ceremonial uniform, and he helped his daughter down the stairs, and they got into the town car, and as they got in, Elizabeth embraced her father, who took off his cap and he said to the servant "It must be a joyous day for the people for Ember's birthday.."

"Yes it is, sir" The servant said as she started the car and began to drive, "In Northern Sea, the 17th birthday is when a girl becomes a woman. Ember is the cheif's oldest child."

General Macked nodded and he said "When Elizabeth turned 17, we had a party at North Island NAS, the nearest naval base, and I remember I had a terrible hangover from this alcohol variety of Mountain Dew the morning after the party. Elizabeth has been a great help since her mother died two years ago in an airplane crash."

Cardon walked up to the man and outstretched his hand "Hello, I'm chief arnook. Welcome to Northern Sea."

He offers his left hand.

"I'm sorry, but the High Foreman couldn't be here, due to some sudden and unexpected occurrences. He sent me as a proxy. My name is Cole Miner, and it is a pleasure to meet you."

How strange. We lost our queen ariel, the cheif's wife, a few years ago. It devestated the entire royal family, especially ember. She's almost a younger image of her mother.

He offers his left hand.

General Macked said "Well, m'am, we're not just here for the birthday part. Fact is, my power hungry older brother took power yesterday, and he tried to have his goons murder my best friend John Arnold, who is the Archbishop of San Diego, now John's on the run. Then, my older brother ordered us executed, but we escaped with most of our possessions. Do you think that Chief Arnook could find us lodgings while we are in temporary exile?"

"Oh my goodness" the servant said as the car stopped in front of the manor. "Of course Cheif Arnook would help you. Let him know as soon as you see him."

General Macked smiled as he helped Elizabeth out of the car, and he linked her arm under his as they walked into the manor. Elizabeth said smiling "We're like Robin Hood and Friar Abriarth eh father?" She kissed him on the cheek and he said "Well, we don't aim to steal from anyone, only find safe lodging from that crazy fool who unfortunately is my older brother." They walked in, and General Macked introduced himself to Chief Arnook and he said "Well, me and my daughter are here, not just for the birthday party, but we've just escaped execution like my friend, the Archbishop of San Diego, John Arnold, who is also on the run. Well, my older brother had a religious discussion with the Archbishop (John), and then he got mad, and he ordered his execution on the spot, and John defended himself, then jumped out the window and ran. I don't know where he is now, but we've just escaped too, and we'd like temporary lodging, until the rightful leader is back in place in Calizorinstan."

"Of course, Of course. Until all is well in your nation, you are welcome in Northern Sea. Here, i know just the person to talk too...." He headed upstairs and came down with an older women(50) who had light brown hair in a bun and glasses. "This is my sister-in-lay, Minerva. She was my wife's older sister. She has a large house out in the country, and she has agreed to have you two live with her."

"Nice to meet you" Minerva sadi, shaking their hands, "Yes, it'll be nice havng some company. I leave for home tommorow afternoon, so you'll have to spend the night in one of the rooms here."

"Now that that is settled," Cardon continued, "Let us celebrate. It is a joyous day!"

Elizabeth chuckled and she said "I'm pleased to meet you Chief Chinook, I'm General Macked's daughter, Elizabeth.." She held out her white, dainty hand and General John Macked said "Well, she landed the private jet today, didn't you sweetheart?" She replied "Yes, father, I did, though I don't like to boast about it."

"Your father is proud of you elizabeth, and parents can't help but boast about children, Am i right General?" the Cheif said.

"I need to go now, Ember still needs my help before she comes out," Minerva said and with that, she walked up the stairs.

The landing gear beared the weight of the small private jet as it made it's landing. Once the plane's movement ceased, the door opened and President Ozzanil stepped out into Northern Sea's beautiful atmosphere.Wind blew his jet-black hair and the sun glowed apon his tan,almost golden colored skin.Excited couldn't expain the way he felt for he was the of his people to go to another nation in centuries.

Servants quickly greeted the president "Welcome to Northern Sea," they said as they escorted him to the car. The car drove off and soon stopped in front of the Arnook's manor.

John winked and he said "Right you are Chief! Elizabeth is my only child, my wife died in a C-137 crash two years ago, and I never had the opportunity to have a boy, but I don't regret that a bit. She's planning to go into the Air Force, following her adopted Uncle, the Archbishop of San Diego's footsteps."

Elizabeth put her arm around John's waist and she said "My father has been the best teacher to me in the whole world, he taught me how to shoot, and I've been on turkey hunts, and others with him since I was 11 1/2.." She grinned, her flashy smile was a trademark Macked smile.

"I have 5 kids," The Cheif started, "Ember is my oldest, the rest of them are back in the capital. I'm very proud of all them"

He stopped, and his facial expressions looked like he was having trouble swallowing. He was actually swallowing grief "I lost my wife 3 years ago. It was an attack on the capital city. There was a missile. Part of the palace collapsed....." he said, doing his best to supress his sadness.

She stood up, almost as tall as her father with her high heels on and she said "I'm glad to be here Chief Arnook. You in effect, saved our lives, had we not this invitation, we surely would've been executed."

General Macked's cell phone rang and he said "Hullo! John, where are you? You're on an island east of Japana? Well, you're safe, and we're at Ember's 17th Birthday Party in the Northern Seas. Well, I hope to see you soon, bye." He hung up and he said "The Archbishop's safe Chief, and Elizabeth, Uncle John made it out, no fighter's chased him or anything."

Elizabeth smiled and she said to Chief Arnook "I'm hoping that I'll be able to become friends with Ember, she seems like a nice girl from what I've heard."

John Macked replied "Excellent, ah, here comes Elizabeth.." Elizabeth came back with the Dew for her father, and a glass of champagne for Chief Arnook.

Samuel Goodale was sound asleep when his own teenage daughter awoke him. "What is it sweety?" he asked rather groggily as he stirred in the deeply padded seat of the Concorde aircraft that the government of Psi Upsilon used for international travel. "Daddy, we're about to land." The seventeen year old girl could barely hold her excitement in.

Christine was a lovely girl and as this was the first real contact between their peoples, her father made sure to impress on her the value of looking her best. Her straight golden brown hair was simply but elegently done, and her gown was a simply but very well made piece of a gold shade. She made quite a contrast to her father. The early middle aged man was in good shape, but slowly turning to seed as he did not get the chance to work out like he once had. He was dressed in the garnet dress uniform of the Psi Upsilon Marines, complete with gold stripes down the pants and gold trim.

After the plane landed the Second High Angelos stood and completed the regalia with the addition of both his dress sword and the cloth of gold cloak of full dress uniform. He took his daughters arm and descended the boarding ramp of the plane. They were flanked by four members of the Gold Guard of Psi Upsilon. The uniforms were identical in the cut with two striking differences. The first was the fact that the uniforms were gold with garnet stripes and facings , in a complete mirror image of the standard uniform. The second was the black and silver cape that identified them as the regiment drawn from the Second High Angelos' own birth city.

"Greetings from the great nation of Psi Upsilon. I am afraid that urgent matters of state kept him from making this journey himself. He sent me in his place with both his apologies and congratulations for the princess." He then motioned to the four guards following him. Each of them had their arms burdened with items. "These are gifts for the princess from myself, the Archon and the Assembly of Psi Upsilon."

The first was a ceremonial weapon based on a fasces. It consisted of 45 ebony rods bound together by silver strands and topped by a solid silver phoenix. Next was a cast silver owl. And final was a shield held between two guards with emblazoned with the charge from the Psi Upsilon coat of arms, that being clapsed hands surrounded by a double tressure. "If you have any questions about the gifts, let me know. Now My daughter is interested in meeting the guest of honor." Samuel finished off and waited for his response.

Walking into the ballroom in the best suit he could find, Prince Alexander looked like he was the son of a successful businessman with the combed back hair and the expensive suit. Following him with a smile on her face was the ten year old Princess Victoria; who was wearing a light red dress that looked adorable on her; her hair was tied in a bun and she would occassionally touch it fondly. Alexander studied the guests who had already arrived while keeping his sister close; he knew that she wanted to accompany him but he expected her to behave and not embarress him and his family in front of so many people. Walking towards Chief Arnook, Alexander smiled as he gave a brief respectful bow. "It is a pleasure to meet you again, sir. As you already know, I am Prince Alexander of Neo-Ixania."

Before Alexander could continue talking, Victoria sprung forward and quickly introduced herself happily; provoking Alexander to give her a small smile. As the oldest brother and second oldest child, he felt like he wanted to be there for his siblings and he often cared for them and his mother. "Yes; this is Princess Victoria. She wanted to come with me; probably because she is so interested in travel."

Alexander smiled before he noticed Victoria walking away to talk to the other guests (OOC: if anyone does not mind their guests talking to a ten year old princess, go right ahead and have them talk). He knew that she would be alright but he would occassionally watch her. "Chief, how has life been for you since we last met? I can assure you that the Empress lives a peaceful life and has, so far, had a good reign. Has how Novel been since we last met? I am sure she is anxious to meet me."

Emperor Quaeus stepped out of his silver Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class sedan as one of his personal guards, dressed in formal black tuxedo and tie accompanied by a pair of black sunglasses, opened his door. He stepped out and waved to the crowd of photographers that no doubt had assembled outside of the manor. He was decently sized, around 5'11. He had a very thin buzz cut accompanied by no facial hair on his strong, long face. He wore a bright white toga with a board dark purple strip on its border. He wore it with a crimson sash that had a gold flecked border. He wore a traditional pair of Roman sandals upon his feet.

He reached into the car and helped his wife step out. She was a magnificent Italian beauty. Her hair was jet black with gentle curves mixed into it. Her body was not thin but lithe. Her face was of a classical beauty, her crimson lips always curved into a lovely smile. She wore the same outfit as her husband.

She hooked her arm around his and accompanied him into the building. Their five similarly dressed bodyguards followed them closely, constantly alert as to their surroundings.

They entered into the ballroom and the Emperor smiled brightly as he took note all of those who had attended. His wife smiled as well and pecked him on the cheek. "It seems we are late. I hope we did not miss the birthday girl's arrival", she spoke to him softly.

I'm sure you get your looks from your mother, right?", she asked sweetly. While she conversed with Elizabeth, Emperor Quaeus turned back to General Macked. "I suppose I'm doing well. I've never been much of a flyer, so the jet lag is particularly irritating. However, I intend to overcome it and make the best of my time at this joyous celebration. Yourself?"

Aethius Flavius and Marie Esla, two of the Achae-Ottonian emperor's cousins, entered the mansion, a little harried. Aethius looked everybit the dashing pilot-in-training, and barely showing a trait he shared with his cousin; he was trying to loosen the collar on his dress uniform, a practice the Emperor himself wasn't above. Marie was stunning, taking her good looks from the Ottonian side of the royal family. Not that good looks were lacking on either side. She was rolling her dark brown eyes at her cousin's behavior, but secretly groaning on the inside for the same reason; she also didn't particularly enjoy dressing up, and was finding the dark green Westphallian formal dress a bit of a trial. She was just better at hiding it than Aethius or Heinrich. They had each brought a present Ember; Aethius had brought a well made carving he had fashioned (it had a pack of timberwolves howling at the moon carved into it), and Marie had brought a necklace made with amber as the gemstone, only now realizing the accidental wordpun/play. She really hoped no one else would notice. She was amazed she had. Great, I'm turning into a wise-ass like Heinrich, now, she though.
The twosome looked around for Chief Arnook and the birthday girl. When they found him, they approached the Chief, both looking slightly embarassed and extremely apologetic.
"Hello, sorry we're late. I'm Aethius Flavius, from Achae-Ottonia. It's a pleasure to meet you, sir," Aethius began, extending his hand to shake.
"And I'm Marie Esla, also from Achae-Ottonia. It's an honor, sir," she said, also extending her hand to shake.

Finally, after a while, she noticed a young woman at the drink table. Studying her, Victoria could tell that she must have been a princess; and knowing this made her happy.

Samuel bowed to the Chief and walked around to mingle with the rest of the people there. However it was obvious that his teenage daughter was uninterested in the type of crowd that her father attracted. Off course she was much too well raised to make an issue out of it. But Samuel knew his daughter well and it was kind of hard for her to hide her true feelings from him. "Go ahead sweety, mingle with your kind." he said with a smile and a mock shudder with the reference to people of her age. It has been a long time indeed since he was like her and he missed the carefree life of the young. She reached up to hug and give him a kiss on the check. Then she was off to talk to people her own age. The Second High Anglos glanced at his protection detail and nodded once. With that, two of the senior NCO's peeled off to follow her.

Being a teenage girl, it was expected that the first person she should head to was the young attractive man that she saw. So with her watchdogs hard on her heels, she swooped upon Prince Ahron with all the grace of a ballerina and all the subtlety of a charging bull. She stopped and flowed into a deep curtsy in one smooth motion. "Nice to meet you. I am Christine Goodale, daughter of Samuel Goodale, Second High Angelos of Psi Upsilon. What is your name?" she asked in a combination of formality and teenage naivety.

While his daughter was out trying to make a conquest, Samuel started to do his own job. That is the tricky business of international diplomacy. While the Chief of Northern Sea seemed to be the obvious choice, in reality Samuel had all the time in the world to talk to him. It was the other guest that he might not see again that was his main concern. As he was walking trying to spy out who might be the best to start talking to, he saw somebody in what was definitely a military uniform. It was unusual to say the least for a diplomat to also being a serving member of the military in any capacity. Since Samuel was also career military, he figured this man might be the best person to toe the waters with first.

He approached the man and snapped to attention as soon as he was within three paces, his guards following suit. By the amount of braid and ornament on his uniform, the stranger was at least a one star general. The Second High Angelos wore only the fasces of a colonel on his collar, even if his official rank in the Psi Upsilon military was ... complicated. As such the stranger outranked him, and the proper manner to show courtesy to a superior officer in doors was by coming to the postion of attention. "Nice to meet you sir. I am Colonel Second High Angelos Samuel Goodale of Psi Upsilon. It is a pleasure to meet you."

At that moment Princess Joanna Crown Princess of Braxon had arrived, the 17 year old with long blond hair and blue eyes was wearing a long flowing low cut blue dress with a small diamond brooch on the left side of her chest.

Icail,who also was sampling drinks,came upon a bottle whos lable made him want to try it.He reached for the bottle,but before he grasped it, he was distracted by the sight of to females who appeared to be royalty."Greetings ladies, I'm President Icail va Ozzanil of Nosorepazzau.May I ask your names?",said the President as he bowed.
Dora didn't bother to return the President's gesture, because in her country bowing to someone meant that the one receiving the gesture was above the one making the gesture in social hierarchy. She simply turned to the President and said "Greetings to you too. I'm Princess Dora of Pro Patria Puritania. Can I help you with something?"

Brellach

19-03-2008, 17:19

The journey from Brellach was long and arduous. The enormous royal jet, known as the Goddess' Protection, along with its considerable quantity of fighter escorts, had been forced to land for fuel at numerous occasions along the way purely because virtually no aircraft could accomplish the journey on a single tank of fuel.

Within, the sparseness of the Protection did nothing to comfort them and certainly didn't distract them from their long journey, but to induldge oneself in opulence would have been against their beliefs - and against the express wishes of the Queen herself. Some of the Legionnaires aboard grumbled amongst themselves, but as some of the most honoured and veteran soldiers in the Legion of Light, they would never dare to dull their reputation by making such complaints in the presence of Her. Nor in the presence of Her advisor, Fellis, for that matter, who was possessed of such zealous loyalty that she would report even the slightest of dissent to Her, even if it regarded the lowliest of Her subjects - to say nothing of her closest guards.

Not that She would have cared either way. Queen Lyta had remained in isolation in Her personal quarters for almost the entire journey, emerging from Her cabin only for a couple of hours at the beginning of the trip. No-one knew exactly what She was doing, though most assumed She to be either meditating, or consulting with the Goddess for advice. Only Fellis herself had the honour of entering periodically, to inform Her of their progress or to provide Her with sustenance, and Fellis was hardly liable to divulge any information regarding the Queen that She did not want divulged.

But finally, the plane and its rather pensive occupants touched down in the specified locale of Northern Sea, with its fighter escorts flying overhead and departing to the nearest Brellachi aircraft carrier for resupply. The doors bursting open once an appropriate staircase had been manoeuvred into place, several of Her Legionnaires hurriedly jogged down to the concrete and began their standard security checks; sweeping the area for anything that might threaten the safety of their beloved Queen before finally radioing up to their comrades aboard the plane that all was well. Once all of the attendees and the remaining security compliment had disembarked, they were escorted to the manor where the festivities were already underway.

Before long, the Grand Hall became host to several Legionnaires. Her loyal guards entered the room as discretely as they could in their brilliant white uniforms, with their gold epaulettes, numerous medals, red sashes and elegant black-and-white combination caps. As before, they surveyed the area and then looked over their shoulders and nodded that the coast was clear. Fellis Jessina entered, flanked by two more Legionnaires, and cleared her throat.

"Announcing, the Magnificent and Beautiful, Wise and Powerful, Perfect and Almighty, Queen Lyta of Brellach, Her horses swift and Her blade true," she called out.

For all the fuss, the occupants may have been forgiven for expecting somebody to enter who was virtually marinaded in precious gems and carrying a swollen, egotistical head atop of her shoulders, but the reality was far from it. The woman whom had been introduced as Queen Lyta was remarkably simple. She slowly entered the room, slender and physically fit, though at the very most a mere five foot six inches in height. Her clothing was basic, wearing nought but a white silk rectangular cloth wrapped tightly around her body like a dress and tied in a firm knot across her left shoulder. A simple piece of string held the dress firmly around her waist, and she wore a silk white hood over her head. No gold, jewels nor even a crown could be seen on her person, nor was she flaunting any manner of fragrances, and only a pair of plant fibre sandals adorned her feet. Her lightly bronzed skin was suggestive of somebody who spent a great deal of time outdoors.

She paced into the room without much ado, seeming to be almost embarrassed by the bluster of her advisor, and as she pulled back her hood she revealed an attractive young woman, wearing no make-up and letting her long, glossy brunette hair hang loosely down her back.

"My greetings, from myself, my people and the Goddess," came her strongly accented, soft voice.

Dora's attention was completely focused on the drink table and looking for the right type of wine. That was, until she heard Victoria's voice. "Well, hello there. Nice to meet you too, I'm Princess Dora of Pro Patria Puritania. What do you want to talk about?"

Icail,who also was sampling drinks,came upon a bottle whos lable made him want to try it.He reached for the bottle,but before he grasped it, he was distracted by the sight of to females who appeared to be royalty."Greetings ladies, I'm President Icail va Ozzanil of Nosorepazzau.May I ask your names?",said the President as he bowed.

"It is nice to meet you, Princess Dora. I want to learn more about your nation; since I heard about it when my older sister, the Empress, spoke about your nation in a meeting; she was glad to know that Pro Patria Puritania was a friend of the Ixanian Empire."

Victoria turned to look at Icail and smiled at him. "I am Princess Victoria of Neo-Ixania; a sister of the Empress of Ixania, Anastasia II. It is nice to meet you, sir."

"Your nation is similar to ours; we play sports such as soccer and there are people who manage wineries. If I may ask, why is your nation not fond of Christianity?"

Victoria smiled as she watched Julius briefly; watching him made her remember her own father; whose death led to her older sister becoming the monarch.

IC:

Cheif Arnook, looking at the time and the amount of people, decided that it was time for Ember to come out. He looked up at the grand doors at the top of the staircase, where ember would come out, to see his Sister-in-law, Minerva, giving him the signal that Ember was ready. He signaled the trumpeters, and they began to play, and the drum players started drumming. The whole room fell quiet as they turned to face the grand doors at the top of the stairs. A man, in front of the door, then announced,

"Presenting, Her Royal Highness, The princess of Northern Sea, Ember Ariel Arnook!"

The doors behind him opened, and he quickly got out of the way. A young woman stepped out.

Ember was a very beautiful princess. Her flawless skin was a light tan, lighter than her father's skin, but a little darker than a caucasian. She wore a strapless blue dress that faded into a grayish-white color as it hit the ground. Once of the most interesting things about her appearance was her snow white hair, which she had curled, and in her hair was a few blue flowers. Around her neck was a family heirloom, the arnook's tide. It was a large sapphire on a string, and hanging down from it by nearly invisible wires were several diamond and aquamarines. Her mother was the last person to wear it. Ember's blue eyes looked down upon her guests, and she said, in a beautiful but powerful voice,

"Welcome. And Thank you all for attending my birthday. I can't wait to meet you all." She walked down the stairs and when she got to the bottom, she said "Let the Party begin"

"She is a beautiful damsel...."

Prince Alexander smiled as he watched Ember come down to the guests; he was sure that she would run to meet him since she had been, in his experience, quite interested in him ever since the Empress' Gala. His younger sister, Princess Victoria stood close beside him as she watched the Princess descend from the steps. Alexander began remembering his first meeting with Ember and hoped that she would remember him. If not, he'd try to refresh her memory.

After several minutes, Prince Alexander walked towards Ember calmly; with a smile on his face. He bowed respectfully to her and focused his eyes on her; still keeping the smile that showed his shiny teeth (royalty always had good maintenance of healthy teeth) "It has been a long time since we last met, Princess. I am sure you remember me; your royal friend from Neo-Ixania...."

Victoria stepped forward and gave a quick curtsey. "This is one of my sisters, Princess Victoria. She was anxious to be here; so I decided to bring her with me."

Emperor Quaeus watched with great admiration for her beauty, as the young Princess descended the staircase and entered into the crowd of star-struck rulers and hopeful potential suitors. "Quite the lovely young prodigy she is, no?", asked the Emperor to his wife as he turned to look at her. She smiled up at him from the comfort of his side to which she clung , "Indeed. I hope our modest present is appreciated. After all, no doubt every other nation most likely brought jewels and diamonds to shower her with." Emperor Quaeus chuckled at his wife's comment about their present. "Rest assured, darling. Modesty is after all the best policy. Besides it might be refreshing to her to see something less flashy awaiting her nimble fingers to unwrap."

From a good distance away, as he watched Princess Ember descend the stairs, Aethius couldn't help but give a quiet whistle in amazement. She certainly was attractive. Then his cousin's elbow caught him in the ribs and he sputtered.
"What was that for?"
"For being a drool monkey like Heinrich." Marie made it clear the Heinrich's occasional zoning out to think about love often irritated her. Not that she dissaproved of love, romance, or anything of the sort. She just didn't have much patience with its effect on young men. "Let's go introduce ourselves, shall we?"
"OK," the pilot-in-training replied casually, still focusing more on loosening his collar than what his cousin was saying.
They approached the princess, and Aethius and Marie respectively bowed and curtsied.
"Greetings, Your Highness. I am Aethius Flavius, the cousin of Emperor Heinrich of Achae-Ottonia. It's an honor and pleasure to meet you," he stated with a warm smile, and also kissing her hand.
Marie greeted and introduced herself as well. "...and I'm Marie Esla, also one of Emperor Heinrich's cousins. I'm very pleased to meet you," she said, giving a friendly smile.

I trust the birthday celebration is everything you expected and more, yes?"

"Alright, John then," Ember said, "And it's a pleasure to meet you as well, Elezabeth. My aunt minerva told me about your situation, and while i'm sad that you are fugitives of your own nation, it will be a pleasure to get to knw you better while you are hiding here. I probably will be down to visit my aunt a few times."

"Your nation is similar to ours; we play sports such as soccer and there are people who manage wineries. If I may ask, why is your nation not fond of Christianity?"

Victoria smiled as she watched Julius briefly; watching him made her remember her own father; whose death led to her older sister becoming the monarch.

Dora wasn't sure what to tell about her country's dislike for Christianity, or where to start: the forming of the Serpent Guard, the crusades, the civil war that resulted in the extermination of nearly all christians in the empire, etc. Considering Victoria's young age she told her "Well, lets just say it started during the crusades and has continued to this day."

Northern Sea is mostly comprised of two large islands, and then some small, arctic islands a little bit up north. Our capital, St. Nuei, where i live right now, is an interesting city. It is a city made completely out of ice. It is home to the art of Waterbending, the controlling of water. The city is probably 1,500 years old, and we annexed the two other, warmer islands about 800 years ago. My dad, Cheif Arnook, is a waterbender, along with my little brother, kenderick.

When the Princess was announced, both Samuel and his daughter stopped what they were doing to focus on the Princess. This was the true reason that he and his nation was here after all, so he had to observe all the political niceties and all that. He, his daughter and his henchman moved to introduce themselves to her. Samuel flowed into a deep bow, grasping his sword and cloak in left and right hand respectively, while drawing his right foot back and sweeping the cloak forward. Christine swept into a equally deep curtsy, holding on to the edge of her full skirts. The protection detail was even more dramatic, falling to one knee, the first of their right hands pressed to the carpet while they too grasped their swords.

Master Gunnery Sergeant Jonathon Kahn, the senior of the NCOs of the guard unit raised his head and announced them. "Your Highness. It is my pleasure and duty to introduce you to, Colonel of the Garnet and Gold Guards His Grace Sir Samuel Goodale, Second High Angelos, Lesser Archon of Alpha Omicron, Grand Master of the Order of the Phoenix, Knight Grand Commander of the Knight of the Garnet and the Gold, Knight Commander of the order of the Fasces and Champion of the Lord High Archon, and his daughter Lady Christine Goodale." the seasoned Noncom announced before bowing his head again.

Samuel's full title was somewhat long winded and excessive in his opinion, so he himself usually used the shorter version that he had told the general before. Of all his titles, the only one he cared for was Knight Commander of the Order of the Fasces, as that was the only one he felt that he had earned. "Your Highness. It is an honor to meet you, and many congratulations on reaching your majority." Samuel told her, for 17 was the age of majority in Psi Upsilon. "I prefer just my name or rank for address, regardless of what that windbag over there said. But we do have to keep the protocolist happy don't we?" he spoke with a easy smile coming to his face. While he was used to some formality as a serving officer, there was only so much of it he could stand. His face turned serious and he sobered up to make the next offer. "My people had made three gifts to you for this occasion, Your Highness. However I wish to make a presentation of a gift from myself as a person. Will you take it?" he asked, breaking protocol as he did so. He was going to be in for hell when the Alpha Omicron Assembly learned of what he was about to do.

Perhaps I will speak to him about the forming of an alliance between our two nations. Northern Sea has impressed me very much so far. Hopefully by the end of the night your father and I will have worked out an arrangement to ally our two most noble of nations."

It is an honor to meet you, and many congratulations on reaching your majority." Samuel told her, for 17 was the age of majority in Psi Upsilon. "I prefer just my name or rank for address, regardless of what that windbag over there said. But we do have to keep the protocolist happy don't we?" he spoke with a easy smile coming to his face. While he was used to some formality as a serving officer, there was only so much of it he could stand. His face turned serious and he sobered up to make the next offer. "My people had made three gifts to you for this occasion, Your Highness. However I wish to make a presentation of a gift from myself as a person. Will you take it?" he asked, breaking protocol as he did so. He was going to be in for hell when the Alpha Omicron Assembly learned of what he was about to do.

"It's a pleasure to meet you all," Ember said, curtseing to all of them. After hearing him speak of the gifts he was going to give her, she continued, "Yes, i would be happy to accept your gifts. Thank you"

Aethius smiled. "Sounds like its cold for most of the year. I wish it was like that in Farlassus (OOC: that's where the IAC Academy is)," he remarked. He loved the cold. However, something still confused him. "What's waterbending?"

Marie also added on "Would you like to hear a little about Achae-Ottonia?"

OOC: I kinda copied waterbending from a T.V. Show, so instead of trying to explain it heres the wikipedia article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waterbending)

[QUOTE=Northern Sea;13544965]"Alright, John then," Ember said, "And it's a pleasure to meet you as well, Elezabeth. My aunt minerva told me about your situation, and while i'm sad that you are fugitives of your own nation, it will be a pleasure to get to knw you better while you are hiding here. I probably will be down to visit my aunt a few times." /QUOTE]

Elizabeth smiled and she said "I am sure it'll be a pleasure to get to know you, and I am sure the Archbishop shall return.." John smiled, and he said "If he does, it'll be with his bishop's crook in one hand, and a joystick of a F/A-9A Barracuda in the other hand.." He turned to Princess Ember and he said "Could I get you anything to drink Ember?"

"No, No, i'm fine. Are you enjoying the party so far?" Ember asked

"Don't worry about us, it's your night. Now, are you ready for your present or will there be a time for that later?"

"You can give me your gift whenever is best for you," she said

OOC: Sorry for my lateness; the forums were acting up on me.

"We both had a safe trip and, out of honesty, I was a bit anxious to meet you again. When I first visited Northern Sea, I had a great time and I hope that this second visit will be a repeat of the first. My sister, Victoria, was more anxious to be here...she likes to travel."

OOC: Don't worry, I know where you got it. No need to explain it.

IC:

Aethius started. "I know Achaea best, so I'll start with there. Marie can talk about Ottonia." He began, saying "The capital of the Achaean part of the Empire is Imperia. The city is over 4,000 years old, and is where the Empire began. The surrounding region is called Achaea, and that is what that part of the Empire takes its name from. Achaea is in an area of rolling hills, and its very beautiful; there is old and new architecture side by side, and the city has been built up over the years. The Deber River splits the city in half, and also gives the city access to the sea. There's other major regions, most of which have languages similar to Achaean, but seperate languages nonetheless. The big ones are Haspatha, where Haspathian is spoken, though I'm told it's similar to Spanish, Savonica, whose language is similar to what you call French, and then there's the eastern provinces. Octaea, for some reason, has a similar language to Haspathian, despite that Achic languages are not spoken in that province's immediate vicinity. Then there's Macia and Thessia, who speak Gyzant, which, I'm also told, sounds like what is called Greek. (OOC: For OOC info: Achae-Ottonia is only accesable to Earth by a wormhole in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean and an ocean on Gaterranea, the other planet.)" He stopped. "Sorry, I was rather long-winded with that. You probably didn't want to know the area's full history, did you?"

Marie began to describe Ottonia. "I'll tell you the story about how Ottonia got its name. Ottonia is a much newer nation, and its only a few hundred years old. The capital, Ottonia, is the namesake, obviously. But that wasn't always that city's name. It used to be called Dredicburg, and many people's surnames still carry the city's old name. Two thousand years ago, a boy named Otto was born to the king of Davarica, the Kingdom that Dredicburg was the capital of. Otto grew up and became king at the age of 23, following his father's death in battle against a rival kingdom. Otto was a brilliant strategist. He defeated kingdom after kingdom, foe after foe, until he ruled the largest empire the world knew up to that point. He defeated all who challenged his power, and, at the end of his life, Otto died, undefeated, and triumphant. His son renamed the city after his father, who is now a national hero, and is practically legendary." She paused. "Of course, I already told you that Ottonia wasn't a nation until about a hundred fifty years ago, so the end is obvious; Otto's grandson was not of the same mold, and the Otto the Invincible's empire fragmented into numerous kingdoms, and would remain that way for the next two thousand years. Then, 150 years ago, my relative, Kaiser Heinrich the Stubborn, was named Ottonian Emperor, a title that had been given repeatedly for the intermittant period. However, his rivals feared he would actually use the title to unify Ottonia and crush the small kingdoms' independence, so they revolted. He crushed them anyway, and the nation was refounded, under Hansburg leadership." She finished, and smiled. "Violent, but luckily, that's the past, not the present."

"Anything else?" Aethius asked, smiling happily.

OOC: Sorry, it is rather dense reading.

One of the guards handed a black briefcase with the Puritanian crest on it to the Emperor. "Hopefully this will do." he said as he opened it and handed a piece of paper to Ember.

It is currently under the protection of the Imperial Armed Forces, but they'll leave the city if you so wish."

"Roma V is a fairly young nation yet already grows steadily every day. I have studied the Roman Republic for many years and at the pinnacle of its power I found its democracy to be the purest of its kind. And so, with much support, I led a rebellion to overthrow the Italian Republic. After a few years, we were granted the city of Rome to begin our nation. Eventually, further negotiations united the entire Italian peninsula under the banner of the SPQR."

He smiled to himself as he spoke with such pride for his people. "We're currently trying to bring our existence further into the light of the International Community through embassy exchanges with your father already partook in, and social appearances such as attending your lovely birthday party."

The Emperor briefly turned to his wife to catch her smiling lovingly up at him from his side and he returned the smile before turning back to the Princess. "What else would you like to know of us or my lovely country of Roma V?"

"Hmmm...since you are in rome, is catholicism a primary relgion?" Ember asked

Me and my seven teammates on the zombie elimination squad were in this combat zone for 24 hours, and these zombies kept rushing our position. Let me tell you this, I'm darn lucky that I did not get bitten, because that've meant death. I told my teammates, "If I get bitten, please kill me before I do any more harm."

John sighed and he said "I tell you, I am wondering myself how I've survived, I guess instinct and luck helped me through. I am not a zombie hunter by trade, but I don't think I'll take it up as my main profession. Well, onto something more pleasant, I just got news that the dictator in my nation has been overthrown and I'll be installed as President.

"Being that we are a Democracy we promote freedom of religion. However this doesn't tend to be a problem as the percent of the population is Roman Catholic. Unfortunately there are no mosques in Roma V for Muslims to visit and there are few Temples for the Jewish to go to on their holy days. However perhaps one day as we expand we can grow into territory populated by a larger percent of Muslims and Jews."

"In the meantime however we remain strong allies of the Holy See and I myself pay frequent visits to the Vatican. I have even met with the current Pope, Benedict XVI, on numerous occasions to discuss matters of religion, state, and the condition of the world."

General Macked chuckled and he said "Sir, in our nation, we're the opposite, we're like, ah, let me see here, ah yes, we're 89% Anglican, 7% Judaism, and 4% Roman Catholic. And the very few that are else, are mostly Aztec worshippers, you might say. Our paganism takes very much after the Aztec religon, except without the human sacrifices. I attribute this to King Constantine conquering the barbarian tribe of "Azteca" in the year 1432 AD, and this "King Constantine" for what he did, which was to expand the nation, is a saint in our church."

Even though he's from the same party as the dictator for life, he is far less radical, and not a dictator. His father was President before him.

"The percent of our country speaks standard Italian however there are local dialects that branch off of original Latin. For instance the island of Sardinia has some 1.3 million speakers of Sardinian.

"Oh...my....." Ember said as she held up the necklace. "Alexander...It's beautiful. I don't know what else to say, well......thank you, of course..."
She stared at the star, she then responded
"I have had my portrait painted, but not in a long time."

John nodded and he said "The people love President Arnold, I believe, if he is elected, he'll serve for four more years, in addition to the eight he served as president, and the two as Vice President, he'll have been one of the longest serving Presidents in our nation. Even though he's from the same party as the dictator for life, he is far less radical, and not a dictator. His father was President before him. It was not a racket, nor was it a thugocracy like some people claim, but President John Arnold was elected out of the will of the people. His father was President for 15 years before he was replaced by someone else.. I'll be happy to see you in our nation, and I'm sure Elizabeth will hope you'll stay at our little house by the sea while you are there.."

"That sounds wonderful. I can't wait"

Elizabeth dug out of her pockets to reveal a digital watch, that was painted silver and gold, and it had a very simple but pretty UI system, similar to a cell phone and she said holding it out "It's our gift to you, it can double as a speakerphone for a cell phone, besides getting time from the satellite, and atomic clocks, so it is always accurate and precise."
