I haven't even posted this yet, and I already have 2 OC's.
Firelilli's Kei Likore and Xiontheblackrose's Kikioshi
It all started when a man in a black cloak appeared. You couldn't see his face. He had a cigarette between his fingers. I was waiting outside the doctor's. My mother was ill. I awaited the doctor to come outside to tell me the news. The man gave me the creeps. He stood leaning against a brick wall. I didn't know what he was waiting for. Frankly I didn't care; I was too worried about my mother. But it was creepy. I couldn't see his eyes but I knew he was looking at me.
My name is Joktan. I am fourteen years old. I go to a small school and have no friends. I write in my journal most of the time and keep to myself. I didn't do much physical activity, so I wasn't very strong.
The man threw down his cigarette at the same time the doctor came out. He had a dreadful look on his face, so I knew it was bad news. He said "Son, I hate to say it but your mother is deathly ill and I don't have the proper ingredients to make the potion."
"What ingredients do you need?" I asked him.
"The nectar of a Roslyn Rose." A flower which only existed in the Roslyn desert. There was no way to get the flower from the west. The Roslyn desert was in the east and about five-hundred miles away. "Unless of a miracle, there is nothing I can do for you son." The doctor went back inside.
I began to cry. I couldn't help it. I knew I couldn't go there on my own. And even if I could find someone to help me, I wouldn't know how to find he flower or what it even looked like. I began to walk home dreadfully.
Waiting on my front lawn was my best friend. She wore a green shirt, and black jeans. She had a silver bangle on her right arm and gold on the left. With brunette hair that just went past her shoulders. Her name was Kei Likore. She held her hands behind her back. When I walked up to her, she gave me a hug. The look on my face gave away the bad news. We went into my house and sat in the kitchen. I explained the situation a little more thoroughly. After so, we took a walk. We went to our secret spot that we discovered seven years earlier. It was a tree house in the woods. The sounds of nature were very soothing to me.
I was nearly asleep when Kei abruptly said "I know what we can do!"
"What?" I asked her.
"I know how we can get to Roslyn! We can see the princess! She'll help us get there!" She said as she stood up.
"How are you sure?"
"I'm always hearing how she helps people with their problems. She has a kind heart so she's bound to help you."
"I doubt it…" I said as I tilted my head.
"I know she'll help! Come on!" She pulled me to my feet and slid down the ladder.
We traveled to the Kingdom seeking the princess. The wait to get in was long. The princess must've been tending to different matters. When waiting outside, we looked at the wanted posters. Names such as Liona, the resistance leader, Zanzibar, who was also inside the resistance and other various thugs that ran about were on the posters. The big doors to the throne finally opened. We began walking down the long red carpet that led to the big golden lined throne chair. She had black hair, and she wore a red kimono and a red headdress. It was a slightly see through headdress but you couldn't get a real good look at her face. She began to speak.
"Speak commoners, what do you desire?" Princess Kikioshi asked us.
Kei stepped forward and said "My friend's mother is deathly ill. And the cure lies in the nectar of the Roslyn Rose. We can't go on our own. We'd surely die. We come here humbly asking for help." Kei knelt on a knee a bowed. I did so also.
"Rise yourselves." Kikioshi said. And so we did. "I have a new Dark Knight that must be tested for his skill. Guard, call the Dark Knight."
In response the guard said, "Yes. I will retrieve him immediately." The Guard walked out.
"Commoners, what are your names?" She asked us.
"My name is Kei Likore, and this is my friend Joktan." Kei introduced us.
"He is the one with the sickly mother?" She asked in reply.
"Yes your majesty." I said.
"Poor child, I know what it is like to lose parents to sickness." Kikioshi said as she lowered her head. Her parents died of disease only days apart from the other. She had only been ruler for 3 years and she was only 20.
"Your majesty, the Dark Knight has arrived." Said the Guard who had left moments before.
"Oh good. Knight, what did you say your name was?" Kikioshi asked him as he came in.
It was the cloaked man from earlier. His voice started. "Cepter is my name your highness."
