Edenian Life was simple. Everyday was a small new adventure, those who took the small adventures lived their lives to the fullest. Great news came to the empire, as the heiress to the throne was to be wed off. The guard patrols were tightened, however, as some feared of assassins arriving. No matter, though, your lives were content with how you lived. Some of you, at least. Some lived happily in a home, others in the warrens below the city.
You took control over your life. How did you live it?
"And praise be to Alden, whom gave us all bodies of water and the aquatic life we find nourishment from. Finally, praise be to Elizbeth for granting us the ability to grow our crop and feed our animals. Praise to the Gods!" A pastor finished the afternoon sermon, everyone in the church repeating the praise. As the congregation started leaving the church, the pastor flipped through the holy book of the Gods, reciting small passages to himself.

A simple man was sitting under a tree, enjoying the weather and seeing other people walk out of the church.

"Ah, afternoon sir. I recognize you from the church goers." A man walked by, sitting next to the other. "Why weren't you in church today? Don't you live in the Warrens with the Hybrids?" He asked, noticing how poor the man appeared. "Are... are the Warrens as dirty as many say?"

"Not so much. And I'm out here rather than in there because I enjoy the weather. Rather be out here enjoying what the gods gave us today rather than inside preaching about giving thanks. It's the little things in life that speak louder than words." The man says with a warm smile. (Are the people I have no idea about 'dirty'?)

(The Warrens are home to Hybrids and the Poor.) "True. Dell crafted such a beautiful landscape." The other man replied. "Great day as well. Hopefully Moira blesses the marriage of the Princess as well, once she chooses which Prince she wishes to marry. May I inquire your name?"
"Princess Dianne, you must choose a suitor!" The great Emperor, Emperor Decem, spoke to his daughter. "If you don't, there will not be a chance to create a stabilized line of succession. You do understand, correct?" Decem lowered his voice, hoping his daughter would respond. (I chose you to play the Princess because... eh, figured you'd be interested in the RP.)

(Alright then and sadly Feather is off to bed) "Love can be a strange thing, even the gods can have a good laugh with love sometimes." He chuckles. "But my names Isaac. What is your name?"

"But Moira does not hold under the domain of Love." The man replied. "You know she handles marriages and marriages alone! Love is irrelevant!" He got up, started backing away. "I hear the Princess has turned down many who seek her courtship."

"Good for her." Isaac nods, looking up in the clear sky. "Let's hope the fair princess chooses the one she cares for, nothing forced by anyone." He says, not caring of the man backing away from him. "But what would a simple poor man know?"

"Surely if she cared for someone it would be from here." The man replied. "My name is Opus. If she cares for someone, surely she would find someone from the great city."

"It's nice to meet you Opus." Isaac says to him. "But let me just tell you...weirder things have happened. Don't always predict what's the most possible outcome, cause the least possible thing can always happen without anyone knowing it." He explains, getting up and brushing a few leaves off of him and stretching his legs.

"Well, who's to say you can't try and marry her then?" Opus asked, arms crossed over his chest.

'Yes,Farther. I do,' she said. Her hair was dark chestnut and her eyes a deep green. She was fairly tall and her body was attractively round.

"Good. Some more suitors should be coming at evening meal, so be prepared to meet and greet them." Emperor Decem left his daughter's chambers, heading for his throne.

"Good. Some more suitors should be coming at evening meal, so be prepared to meet and greet them." Emperor Decem left his daughter's chambers, heading for his throne. 'Yes, Farther,' she said. She waited for him to leave before sighing. She walked over to her dresser and sat down.

"Well..." He says while looking himself over. "I suppose I could, you know which way is the right way to where the princess is? Cause sometimes this city confuses me sometimes." Isaac says sheepishly, admitting that even he has trouble through the streets of the city.

The guards at her door kept guard, making sure no one entered without permission. "You just head for the palace at the center of the city." Opus replied, pointing to the large palace.

She looked around annoyed, wondering where her maid was.

"Thank you." Isaac nods while heading off to the castle. "Thank you Opus, glad for the chat we had." He says with a wave before heading towards the castle.

The road to the palace was filled with merchants and soldiers (whom patrolled the streets carefully). "Ma'am." A maid walked in, bowing. "What is it you'll be needing?"

"Never seen this road so busy before." Isaac says with an honest chuckle, continuing his walk towards the castle, side stepping and turning around people and guards that he would have accidentally bumped into with good precision. "I wonder if I can share some delight with the princess, or if I'll just be laughed at by the guards just because I'm poor?" He thinks to himself with an honest chuckle. "Silly me, I've heard it a ton of times, no need to worry about it." He looks up to the sky again, seeing the wonderful clear blue sky for a moment before continuing walking towards the castle at a quicker pace.

"There you are, Esk,' she said to her maid and friend. 'Tonight Farther is throwing another "suitor party" and I need to get ready.'

"Yes, ma'am. I'll draw a bath." Esk went to the next room inside Princess Edna's room, pulling out a large wash tub. The palace was fairly sized, guards patrolling the area. "Halt," called a guard at the front gate. "What brings you here?" He kept his spear raised up, eyes focused on Isaac.

"Maybe I should have thought of a good excuse so these guys don't laugh." Isaac mentally frowns. "I'm one of the princesses suitors. I know you might think of this as wildly out there but believe me it's true." He says, having a feeling the guards will laugh at him because they think he's crazy.

"You smell dirty, look dirty, don't even look noble." The guard examined Isaac, looking at him carefully. "Great disguise. Which house are you from? The Thornes? No, wait, you look more like a Konom..."

"Well I may look like a noble in those family's but I come from a noble family from a noble house from a neighboring kingdom." He says with a nod. "And yes this is a good disguise, helps keep people off of you when you want to enjoy a nice day." He says with a smile. "But may I pass through? I wouldn't want to wait to see the princess."

"Follow us." The guard kept hold of his spear, walking in front of Isaac. Another guard got behind Isaac, urging him to move along.

"Thank you." He nods while following the guards. "Let's hope this lie continues." He thinks to himself.

"Follow us." The guard kept hold of his spear, walking in front of Isaac. Another guard got behind Isaac, urging him to move along. Meanwhile, deep in the Warrens, a hybrid opened his yellow eyes and got off of the filthy ground. It was the afternoon; he had awoken late.

Another hybrid slept near him, covered in a blanket. The Warrens were packed with the Hybrids, not even receiving any beds unless they were brought from the surface. The woman was half shark; she was one of the leaders of the Hybrids. Isaac was lead through the palace grounds, guards stationed at nearly every entrance and exit.

"I knew there were a lot of guards to protect the princess and royal family but I didn't think there would be this many." Isaac is actually surprised here while looking around, trying to see what's around the palace grounds but mainly finding guards.
