Please do not post here unless you are ANTIDOTE or myself. Thank you and feel free to read along :> - Plot: Muse A hadn't seen Muse B in months and they'd hoped they never would again, but they're forced to find and retrieve them when the King receives word that Muse B has been spotted in the sister kingdom of their own. After all, Muse A is one of the closest advisors in the court of the country Muse A betrayed. He'd been on duty when the only woman he'd ever let his guard down for shot the Queen, and then disappeared without a word.
Muse B has been on the run since the day she killed the Queen. In her defense, she'd been aiming for the King. It wasn't her fault his wife stepped in the way. Had her shot landed, this fight to survive would be worth it. When that fight ends in a prison cell, she knows what fate awaits her. What she didn't expect was for Muse A to be leading the team sent to escort her, looking very different from the man she'd known before.
The journey back to the capitol is as long as it is dangerous. Muse B is forced to rely upon Muse A for protection from his fellow advisors, despite him being the only one with a personal vendetta against her. He doesn't know why he bothers keeping their hands and weapons off of her, but he tells himself it's because she's his to hurt. |

- Lore - - Two hundred and eighty years ago, the Land of Eir was peaceful... or as close as you could get to that in a world with fire-breathing dragons. The kingdom of Tyris was known not only as the land's most militarily powerful kingdom but also for the magic that lay within everyone born there—whether that be the ability to teleport or wield fire. These people were The Esteemed, a proud and formidable populace whose talents were celebrated in both the court and the fields. Tyris was a monarchy, ruled by the first ever rulers; King Luran and Queen Fiona—known and loved deeply by nearly everyone, not only for their just rule but also for their unwavering support of the arts and education, ensuring that every child had the opportunity to learn and grow. This kingdom sat in the pine forests of Eir's southern border, atop a great plateau that dropped to raging sea cliffs, where the waves crashed against the rocks like a relentless army. Food was plentiful because of the river that wound its way through the kingdom, nourishing the farmers and their crops, ensuring that the tables of Tyris were always full. The people thrived in a vibrant community, celebrating life with grand festivals that filled the air with laughter and music. Even a new heir had been born, Prince Raphel, a child of promise who was destined to inherit a legacy steeped in magic and valor. However, a few years later, the King received word of a group of warriors—humans without abilities—who were navigating the treacherous Southern Mountain Range, notorious for its brutal fire-breathing creatures that lurked in the shadows. As any decent ruler would do, King Luran sent out a group of his most elite soldiers to ensure the warriors had safe passage through the mountains, a gesture of goodwill that would soon lead to unforeseen consequences. These warriors, weary from their journey, took cover in Tyris, where they were welcomed with open arms and warm fires. The head general of the warriors, Dorian Gray, formed a sort of alliance with King Luran—promising military strength and protection in exchange for food and shelter, a mutually beneficial agreement that seemed to herald a new era of cooperation. An alliance began, flourishing for the next thirty years, during which both kingdoms shared knowledge, resources, and even cultural practices, creating a tapestry of unity that stretched across the lands. However, as seasons changed, so did the hearts of men, and Dorian's true intentions began to surface. His ambition to overthrow and conquer the Land of Eir culminated in a brutal betrayal that resulted in the shocking death of Tyris's beloved Queen Fiona. The kingdom mourned, its grief palpable in the air, as the loyal subjects struggled to comprehend the loss of their guiding light. King Luran, heartbroken and desolate, succumbed to the weight of his sorrow, leaving young Prince Raphel thrust into the tumultuous role of ruler far too soon. In the wake of this tragedy, Dorian's soldiers and their children fled to the safety of the mountains, establishing their own dominion known as the Kingdom of Hael, confident that King Luran would never dare send his troops into the dragon-infested cliffs that Dorian's group was so accustomed to navigating. The people of Tyris hung their heads in despair, grieving not only for their fallen Queen but also for the loss of their once-unbreakable unity. As the years passed, the weight of leadership pressed heavily on Prince Raphel's shoulders. The kingdom's need for more land grew alongside its burgeoning population, and in a desperate bid to secure the future of Tyris, the head councilman, Emile Rol, proposed an audacious idea. The council convened, deliberating late into the night, until it was decided they would move across the river and conquer the territory there. With a heavy heart, King Raphel agreed, sending along his most trusted warriors with Emile to establish a new foothold. The Kingdom of Dagon came to be, a new ally that would hopefully bolster Tyris’s strength. Yet, as the days turned into years, it became increasingly evident to King Raphel that most of his military had been dispatched to Dagon, leaving him vulnerable and isolated in a kingdom that once stood proud and invincible. The specter of Dorian's treachery still loomed large, casting shadows over any hope of stability. In this precarious situation, King Raphel needed to think creatively. Dragons. The fire-breathing creatures were known to travel south every winter in search of warmer climates, and it was this seasonal migration that sparked an idea in the young king's mind. Harnessing the power and majesty of these magnificent beasts, King Raphel instituted the annual Dragon Taming Tournaments—a tradition that would not only rekindle the spirit of Tyris but also renew its military strength. Young warriors would come of age and, upon turning eighteen, would have the privilege of taming a dragon, forging a bond that would elevate them to a new level of respect and power within the kingdom. As the years rolled on, this practice became a rite of passage for the youth of Tyris, symbolizing resilience and the indomitable spirit of the Esteemed. Yet, amidst the excitement of the tournaments, a burning hatred for the Loemen—the traitorous faction that had once sabotaged their kingdom—festered in the hearts of many. This animosity would shape the future of Tyris, as whispers of revenge began to circulate through the kingdom’s halls and taverns, threatening to ignite a firestorm of conflict that could engulf not only Tyris but the entire Land of Eir. As the dragons soared above the cliffs, their roars echoing through the valleys, the stage was set for a tale of ambition, betrayal, and the relentless pursuit of peace in a world forever at the mercy of fire and fury. |

Baron Elio Streiler "Your existence is giving me a headache, go over there." . Name Pronunciation: BAIR-uhn eh-LEE-oh STRY-lahr Name Meanings: Baron - "Nobel Man" or "Military Commander" Elio - "Sun" Streiler - Family Surname. Nicknames: None. Simply Baron. oooh, pm me ideas >:) . Age: Physical - 23 Years Old True - 26 Years Old Gender: Male Sexuality: Heterosexual/Monogamous Moral Alignment: Lawful Neutral ⊹˚₊‧───────────‧₊˚⊹ "Come back, come back to me, darling." . Kingdom: The Kingdom of Tyris Occupation: King Lucyan's Head Advisor [Executioner] + Dragon Handler Esteemed Ability: Binary [Dual Abilitied] Blight + Coterie [1/2 Legally Alive] . Physical Appearance: . Personality: ⊹˚₊‧───────────‧₊˚⊹ "And I'll save your life again and again, aimlessly hoping you will allow me to stay in it." . Strengths & Weaknesses: Strengths Combat Skills; The training began when Baron turned sixteen. As young adults who wish to partake in the dragon-taming tournaments need to go through two years of grueling combat training, that's exactly what Baron did. Even before he was appointed as one of the King's Advisors, the ruler seemed to...favor him. Which was great in some aspects but rather terrible in others. The King expected much from Baron, which also meant he was challenged further- not only in the physical aspect of training but in the mental and emotional aspect of it as well. Baron had been trained arduously enough that even the king hasn't been able to complete a session with him- and that had continued... until he was met with his match. His equal. And the woman who broke his heart in ways he never thought possible. No training could have prepared him for that. And he's not planning on letting that happen again. Charm; However dangerous and cold this man may be, he certainly knows the way around social situations. Always meaning to come off as charming and sociable. And he does just that. The man's charismatic and alluring complexion seems to draw people in, catching their attention when he walks into a room. With his persuasive nature and experience in different social classes, he knows just the right way to flash an endearing grin or a suggestive glance to get what he wants making him ever so cunning and deceptive. He knows how to get what he wants and by no means is anything getting into his way there. Weaknesses Emotionally Detached; He was once. Vulnerable, I mean. However, as he grew older and went through perilous training he found himself getting less so. There was a point in his life where he simply didn't interact with anyone other than the people he worked for because of the gnawing fear that he would become that...weak little boy from his past. Someone came along at that time though. And by god was it hard not to share everything with her. He really had cared for her... but everything has to end at some time. And for Baron, things ended in betrayal, wrath, and heartbreak. Slowly and surely, he's crawled back into that mask of indifference and emotionless actions. Unsure and not quite wanting to know if there's any way to fix him. Anything. And everything. Hyperthymesia - Baron has suffered from this medical condition since he was very little. The uncommon ability to allow him to spontaneously recall- with great accuracy and detail- a vast number of personal events and memories plagues him to this day. While this condition may be helpful in some situations, such as his interesting line of...work, its also a burden he has to carry with him. He remembers everything. The wonderful times of his life, every conversation with everyone he's ever met, and the horrific, terrifying moments in his past in which he can only dream to forget. And with his ability to see into the future as well- he's plagued by past, present, and future ordeals that run through his mind, paying no mind to the rent fee. Philophobia - The nagging fear of falling in love. It wasn't always this way. In Baron's early life, it was easy for him to say his "I love you's" and show affection. The older he grew, however, and the moment he realized that nobody could fall for a murderer- the thought became a mere particle. Baron is aware of the sheer lengths he may go to protect someone he loves and that fact scares him. Just how many people would he tear down to prove his love? What would he give up? What.... There was a girl. She had been everything in a time where he had nothing. He never got to share how deeply he cared for her before the woman killed the wife of who he put his loyalty in. And the fear- that had been momentarily stalled- came flooding back. . Backstory: . "I will find you, or I will die trying." Affiliations: ⊹˚₊‧───────────‧₊˚⊹ "I'd be your villain if only to be yours." . Other: Dragon: a wip ;-; |
