Angel Note: Alright, since i'm not sure how many if ya'll actually read the status update, i'm gonna give a quick explanation. I decided to do a new version of TNOAR, one that's a bit more in game. There are some changes, like certain characters not being in the story such as blue and sorina, and new characters being added like maxwell and jason. Anyway i'm gonna try to add more about the royal's culture into this one and how their magic and world works. I also changed it so that way it's not just Romanian's, now it's basically "you are ether born as a royal or not", kinda like psychics. Anyway i've stalled long enough, time to start the story, hope ya'll enjoy - Angel Absol

In a woods in Oregon, a circus sat. Various caravans and tents were scattered throughout the camp. In one particular caravan, a young boy slept. He had tan skin and burgundy hair. He was clad in a simple blue tee-shirt and black shorts. The young boy awoke from his sleep, stretching, his bright green eyes surveying the area before getting up and changing into a red V-neck t-shirt and brown pants.

'Hello, my name is Razputin Aquato, but most people call me raz'

He began to walk over to the window of the caravan and opened it.

'You might be wondering why i'm up at the crack of dawn...well here's the thing...i'm not entirely human'

A orange light engulfed Raz

'Im'

The light disappeared, and where Raz was standing was a dragon like creature. It had a beak like muzzle, light orange wings with yellow feathers thrown in, orange feathers covering its body, a long tail, golden claws, and a flaming mane that went from his forehead to his tail. His one eye was now orange while the other stayed light green. Slowly he began to unfold his wings as he crouched down on the ground.

'A royal'

In an instant, he sprang up, leaping out the window and began to fly away. Raz smiled as he flew, swerving between the trees. Eventually he flew upwards until he could see the entire forest, and even the town nearby. It was early, roughly 5:45, so he didn't worry about anyone seeing him. Raz shifted back into a human and began to fall, still smiling. Once he was near the ground he shifted back into his royal form and continued to fly, a bit slower this time. He eventually stopped and landed in one the the trees, shifting once more into his human form, and began laughing, falling backwards into the brush below. He landed with a *thud* but continued to smile and laugh as he laid there enjoying the sounds of the woods.

'Now, you may have a lot of questions, like how can i turn into that creature, well that comes with being a royal. Ya see, ever since i was born, i was special. Not only was a born as a psychic, but as a royal as well. Now that doesn't mean i'm a king or prince, it just means i'm more special then some realize, but with being special'

A gunshot echoed through the woods, startling Raz to sit up and look around before getting up and walking back to his camp.

'It also means i'm in a lot more danger then some would think, what you heard back there, wasn't a normal hunter, that was a member of the monsters, who are the monsters you may ask...well, they are a anti-royal group. Now this isn't cause of religion, or skin color, or anything like that, no one knows their motivations for going after royals'

Raz entered the camp, and climbed back into his caravan before falling back down on the bed, staring outside with a worried expression.

'Some think it's cause we are different in more ways than one, some say it's cause they see us as animals, others think it could be an ancient rivalry, dating back to the first royal anguis, but no one really knows'

"Razputin are you up yet" A voice on the other side if the door called out, before a tall, gruff man burst through the door. He was wearing a ripped up leotard, boots with one of them coming undone, and bandages around his hands. He had shaggy, burgundy hair and beard. He had dark purple eyes and, like raz, tan skin.

'Thats my dad, Augustus. I...did not get the royal trait from him, im 99.9% sure i got the psychic trait from him...did i mention i was psychic as well'

"Yeah dad, i'm up" Raz mumbled as he pushed himself up and landed onto the floor.

"Good, now eat up and then i want you to help Jason and Jonathan out, they seem to have trouble with their juggling" Augustus said as he laid a plate with eggs and bacon onto the dresser next to Raz's bed and left.

"Ok" Raz called out as he went over and grabbed the plate and began eating.

'Jason and Jonathan are the twin clowns, they are frankly new, only been here for about a month or 2, and to be frank i don't trust them'

Raz looked outside to see 2 men, both had shaggy brown hair, pale skin, and brown eyes. One was slightly fatter than the other while the other had a scar running from his forehead to his mouth.

'Jason is the one with the scar and Jonathan is the pudgy one, you know if it weren't for the fact they have threaten me more then the carnies that have been here for 5 years, i probably would trust them more'

Once he finished his plate, Raz walked outside and over to Jason and Jonathan.

"Hey guys, my dad said ya needed help or something"

Jason and Johnathan looked over to raz, jason looked at Raz with a scoul.

"Yeah, we cant reach the balls up there, can ya do it" Jonathan pointed to the box of juggling balls that were stacked at the very top of all the other boxes.

"Yeah sure" Raz climbed up the boxes, it wasn't hard, when your an acrobat, climbing on an unstable surface is nothing new. Once he reached the top he grabbed the box and turned to the 2 men. "Here ya g-GAH" A dark blue hand pushed Raz off the stack of boxes, he luckily landed on his feet, but before he could say anything SMASH a beer bottled was smacked against Raz's head, as he fell he heard various voices laughing and one, he was pretty sure it was Jason, saying something along the lines of "we almost killed him ya idiot". That was the last thing he heard before he blacked out.
