Disclaimers apply.
There will be a prologue like this for every story xD Pay attention. IT'S STORY TIME.
"Story! Okay, so what timeline?"
Timeline?
"Yeah, like Medieval times, futuristic, in the dreaming, modern day, what?"
Uh. Hm......
Hm....
In case you were wondering, the time which has elapsed has been approximately seven minutes as Maqui goes to the bathroom to wash her face, brush her teeth and do business.
"Got any idea yet?"
Oh yeah! Medieval times!
"Huh, hmmmmm...."
And as two more minutes elapsed in silence...
"I got it! Manorial, feudal times! Um, um, Otto's gonna be the son of a lord!"
AND?
"Um, Laura's gonna be.... um, like a scientist. A builder and alchemist and blah."
And Wing?
"Um, a guard. OH, HE CAN BE RAVEN'S YOUNGER BROTHER. THEY WORK FOR NERO!"
So Nero's a lord?
"Uh, no. He's a vassal! You know, like the lord gives land to a vassal, for protection during wartime and feuds and stuff?"
OH. Oh, and the lord is Number One!
"Yeah! Uh uh give me some other people who could be lords."
Darkdoom? Trent! Oh, oh, Cypher!"
"Sure. Cypher can be like a vassal who became a lord! How's that?"
Yeah. Oh, and Shelby?
"Hm.... Lady in waiting or something. Female servant, whatever! She learns to fight because she hates being stuck like that."
Okay.
"Right! So the story is, Otto's gonna be the son of a feudal lord, and he's... uh, sickly! So he isn't let out on the manor grounds, let alone the town. Nero is Number One's vassal, and his guards are Raven and Wing. Um, Laura is Number One's charge, and she's an inventor and Pike's apprentice. Shelby used to work in the castle and became Otto's friend and Laura's best friend, until she wanted to go to Nero's land and fortress and learned stuff from Raven and Wing.
At the time, there's a feud, and a war forthcoming. It's being planned by Number One against Darkdoom, and Nero's wondering where his loyalties should lie."
So. Do you wanna hear the story or not?
