Prologue: The Royal Family Arrival
Hexham, a decent size town in England, is a place where people knows everybody. Because Hexham is a prosperous market town and its located on the countryside where farms are present, people rarely runs out of food. Today is rather gloomy as it is because it's currently raining cats and dogs out there. It has been for a good week now and showing no signs of the clouds wanting to call it quits and give the town it's sunlight that most people in this town wanted. Others however, were actually glad that rain actually came as Hexham (and possibly other towns nearby) were going through a terrible drought recently for the past several months due to the summer heat.
One person is very grateful for the rain as it can water the crops by themselves. This individual goes by the name Alastair Nakahara, who has medium length albino hair, light brown eyes, standing at 5'10' and have pale skin. He lives on the plains where he's catering to his crops and then catering to his animals. While he was catering to his horses, he then saw the rain is beginning to increase. For Alastair, this signifies that a storm is brewing.
"Not good… I should hurry up and get inside." Alastair quickly finished feeding the horses and exited the horse shed and begin to head inside his house. As soon as he got inside, he took off his now wet jacket and hat and hung them on his racket stand before taking off his boots.
"Ahh…glad my house is nice and cozy. Time for me to relax."
Alastair walked towards the kitchen and make some dinner. Alastair lives with his two siblings; A brother named Crispin and a sister named Amaya, with the former is away traveling while the latter is gods knows where as Alastair isn't worried about his sister too much. He scrolled inside the the refrigerator to see what he can eat only to groan in a mix of disappointment and annoyance upon discovering that there was nothing good to eat.
"Damnit Amaya, you fucking pig. Can't you at least leave some food for your dear brother?" Alastair thought before quickly retorted his last statement as he knows Amaya is the type of person who is very territorial when it comes to food.
"Ugh! Look's like I'm heading to the store again!"
With a sigh, he put back on his wet boots, jacket and hat and got into his car, which its was black 2015 Chevrolet Suburban equipped with SOS emergency, navigation, security, top notch diagnostics and currently one of the 4 car brands (the other three being Buick, GMC and Cadillac) that the vehicles has built in wifi, making it possible for use internet while on the road. As he start the car, he turn on the heater and begin driving towards the market.
"Let's see now…" Alastair mumbled under his breath scrolled at the yogurt section to see what kind of flavor and brand to get. "Ahh! I'm gonna get black cherry flavored yogurt. My favorite."
With obtaining the Activia brand yogurt, Alastair made his way towards the check out booth. He paid the clerk and made his way to his car, all while speeding up the cart so the bags won't get damped by the rain and ruin the groceries. As soon as he reached his car he hastily put the groceries in the trunk and got in the car. As he started his car he then glazed outside and see a lot of gray clouds gathering, blocking out the sun.
"Damn… the rain is getting worse by the minute. I should hurry home before I get hold up in traffic and get caught in the middle of the storm."
With no time to waste, he adjusted the gear and begin driving towards home.
Alastair arrived home in no time flat due to the fact he was lucky there wasn't too many cars in the traffic lanes on the routes he usually take to get around. There were a few cars that hold him for a bit but nothing to get a fuss over.
After a few minutes of taking the groceries inside the house, he closes the trunk and begin to walk into the house to finally to turn in for the night. But before he could do that, he jumped at the sound of a distress cry for help that seems to be coming from plains.
"HEEEELLLP! SOMEPONY… ANYPONY! HELP ME! MY AUNTS, COUSIN AND MY HUSBAND ARE HURT!" A female voice yelled from the distance.
Alastair cursed himself of having to go out in the heavy rain again. But he's not the type to leave a person pleaded for help to wander calling for her continuously. So with under heavy frustration and annoyance, Alastair got his lantern and ran to the plains only to be greeted by a couple called heavy rain and winds.
"Sigh. This is going to get very ugly."
For the next five minutes Alastair is walking in the huge plains while trying to find the source of the young female voice quickly because as each passing moment the storm is getting worse and worse and the air is getting colder. Alastair himself started to feel the bitter coldness from the storm despite being heavily clothed. And to make matters worse, the sun was going down causing more difficulty for Alastair. This promoted him to turn on his lantern on. Unlike most lanterns his was more modern that instead of using a match to lit the lantern, he can simply install a light bulb and turn on the power by using a simple switch. And as another benefit feature is that it's water/snow resistant, meaning it can withstand to almost any snow or rain storms. With the lantern lit up he begin call out to the plains hoping to get an response.
"HEY?...HELLO?!... WHERE ARE YOU!? GIVE ME A SIGN! WAVE YOUR HAND! DO SOMETHING SO I CAN SEE YOU!" Alastair called out.
"I-I CAN'T! HELP… US… please!" yelled the female voice again but in a slightly soft tone.
"Tch! Shit!" Alastair crushed himself as he could felt the voice was fading away. "I'M ON MY WAY! HOLD OUT A BIT LONGER!"
He need to get to the source of the female voice and fast. As he fought through the storm he began to head towards the uphill where the huge oak tree is located, since he fairly believed that the voice is coming from. After reaching there he move the lantern in his right hand of him and stick out in front of him to lit the road so he can see.
Before he know it he then see a figure and upon seeing it he immediately ran towards it and finally he approached a young woman who was struggling to stand up on her two feet. As a result she fell and had to resort to crawl. Upon seeing the light, the young woman quickly crawl to him, with a very worried look on her face.
"Help me! Please! My family needs help!" The young woman pleaded.
Alastair took a good look at the young woman and he was taken aback by her appearance; She had very long (almost can be mistaken as a mane) colorful hair which it was dark violet, hot magenta, persian rose, cream and rose pink, her skin texture color is cornsilk and black eyes. The young lady were wearing jewelry with a light golden yellow crown and necklace which is very strange for Alastair. She's soaking wet from head to toe and nude as well, making things worse for her. Alastair could felt the embarrassment and awkwardness upon seeing a naked woman but decided to put his feelings to attend more important matters; help the young lady and her family.
"H-hey! I'm here! Tell me what you need!" Alastair asked, trying to calm the young lady down but with little avail.
"My family! They need help!" The young lady replied as she's shaking very hard.
"Okay, show me where the rest of your family are." Alastair said softly but loud enough to the young lady to hear.
With no time to waste, the young lady lured Alastair to where her family is. Alastair could tell the young lady was having trouble staying on her feet as she tried a few times to get on her feet only to fall down. He pass it off of her being injured so Alastair carried the young lady on his back with her guiding him the way. After just a few moments of walking he suddenly stumbled four bodies laying on the ground stiff as a rock.
Upon seeing the bodies, the young lady screamed in panic causing Alastair to flinched as he couldn't cover his ears due to carrying her.
"Okay… did you really have scream in my damn ear woman?!" Alastair scowled at her. Of course for obvious reason she ignored him.
"These are my family! Help them! Please!"
"Tell me something that isn't obvious lady!" Alastair quickly shook off his irritability and begin to comply with the colorful hair woman and help her family. Upon seeing them he was taken back by all four of their appearances: there were two more women and two guys. The one on the left was a tall woman with pearly white skin tone, long waist light rainbow hair but couldn't tell the color of her eyes due to the fact that she was knocked out. But what was strange is the fact that she is wearing expensive jewelry like a gold necklace and surprisingly a golden crown. The woman on the right fared no better as she's much shorter with light skin tone but her was slightly darker, long waist midnight blue hair with stars on it and like the woman next to her she had jewlery on as well with consisted of a crown and necklace, but her's was black instead of golden.
Next were the two men; One on the left possessed medium length blonde hair and pale skin. He wore a red rose on the right side of his chest and he's rather short. And lastly the one on the right had very pale skin tone and dark medium length navy blue hair. He was much taller than the man on the left and he was well toned and muscular.
Alastair looked at them very shocked upon the fact that their bodies were beginning to turn blue because of hypothermia setting in on them. Alastair needs to get all five of them to somewhere warm and safe before the hypothermia worsen and ultimately kills them.
"Okay, you stay here! I'll be right back!" Alastair shouted as he set the the pink haired woman down and ran.
"Hey! Where are you g-going?!" She shouted before Alastair disappeared into the night. She then turned to her family who were still unconscious while shivering from the harshness of cold and rain, staring out at the darkness with a very worried and frightened look on her face.
"Everything gonna be okay… Everything gonna be okay.."
Before long she saw two lights heading straight for causing her to scream and buried her head on the grass in crippling fear. Then she lift her head and saw an unfamiliar car, which made her feel a lot of fear and terror of the unknown. But that dreadness quickly disappear as she saw Alastair running towards her.
"Y-you came back! I thought you would never come back for us!"
"Nonsense!" Alastair scowled at the pink haired woman. "Now get inside the car!"
"I can't! I-I don't know to walk!" The pink haired woman replied in panic.
"S-seriously now?!" Alastair thought in great annoyance before coming to his senses again. "Okay, I'll load your relatives into the car and then you okay?"
The pink haired woman nodded in response before watching Alastair loading her relatives into the his car one at a time as he couldn't carried two people at a time. After loading everyone into the car Alastair got inside his car, started it and quickly drove towards his house with the pink haired woman sitting in the front while her relatives are sitting the back still unconscious.
"T-thank you… You have my gratitude…"
"No problem miss." Alastair said as he turned on the heater so the strangers can get warm."
"Where are we going?" The pink haired woman asked.
"To my house. There, all five you guys can rest inside that is warm and cosy. Better than sleeping outside in the cold and rain.
"Yeah, sleeping peacefully in warm and soft beds does sounds a lot better." Alastair chuckled under his breath.
After a minute or two driving Alastair arrived at his house. He decided to opened the garage and parked his car inside to avoid the rain and to get into his house a bit easier. After parking his car and closing the garage door he unlocked the door and carried each of the strangers to different rooms, with the two women staying inside his late parents room which is was decorated with polished white furnitures, a big animal fur rug, bleached white painted walls, a large plasma t.v. and a water bed while the two men staying in their guests room which there is nicely decorated with high class quality furnitures, a plasma t.v. as well, have a bathroom inside and a Tempur-Pedic mattress. The pink haired woman were inside Alastair's room which compare to the other bedrooms, his was more modest and plain looking with beige colored walls, light brown furniture, have a bathroom like the guest room and has a high quality bed but instead of Tempur-Pedic it was a Sleep Number.
Alastair did used towels to dry his newly guests off but never completely as he didn't want to dry off a naked person let alone a naked woman. Also, having to dry off each of their nether region only increased of not wanting to dry them off completely as well but he did dry them off enough so hypothermia can wear off. After that he covered his guests up and turned up the heater so that the house can be nice and cozy for everyone and begin to tucked the pink haired woman in.
"There we go all tucked in." Alastair said.
"T-thank you…" The pink haired woman blushed from his kind act.
"Your welcome. Now, I'm heading off to bed. We're talked early in the morning. Good night." Alastair exited the room and head to the living room to sleep.
"N-night!" The pink haired woman shouted as she think about Alastair.
"He's a rather nice fellow… But where am I? And more importantly how did we get here?" The pink haired woman let out a yawn before going to sleep.
Back at the living room Alastair is laying down on the couch with the t.v. on watching the news to see the forecast before letting out a yawn of exhaustion from today. He nodded his head as he began to relax himself on the couch and let fatigue and drowsiness take over his body and mind so he can drift off to sleep but not before thinking about the strangers he rescued.
"Who are those people? Where are they from really? I want to know first thing in the morning." Alastair then finally closed his eyes and fell asleep.
