A time before time, where we set our scene

[considers]

𝔬𝔫𝔠𝔢, further back in years than anyone alive could remember, there is a land that even time has forgotten, filled to the brim with magic and mystery both good and ill. This is where you make your home. Who you are in this kingdom - or many kingdoms - is as varied as the blades of grass that spread over this lush terrain. You could be a petulant princess, a delving dwarf, a highway man with more than a few secrets, a devoted knight, a mage of ancient spellcraft, or even an ageless elf. No matter your station, though, one thing is for certain: whatever life you lead, it's about to get a great deal more exciting. There is a war brewing, somehow, somewhere, and the peace of your homelands is at stake. You are the only one who can set things right and go on a quest to save everyone. Still, what is an adventure without an adventure of the heart? You are not alone, and you'll find that trying times can forge ironclad emotions. Of course, you'll find that the path of love is no easier here than anywhere else, be the person you admire an arranged fiancé you're not too fond of at first, a forbidden object of desire, a traveling companion, an enemy, a lifelong friend, an ally...or another species from you entirely. Yet, in any case, this is no time for romance, is it? Only moments can be stolen, and you must set aside your feelings for the greater good. In this time, in this place, will you get your happy ending, or will this story prove to be a much darker fantasy?

[Any preferences? Does Aragorn need a rescue?]

[enduringhope]

{He always needs rescuing! Perhaps she steals him away for a moment alone?}

[Let it not be said that Arwen Undómiel is above eavesdropping. She is infinitely more skilled at it than certain Hobbits, but that doesn't change the fact that she is currently peeking around a corner to catch a conversation like a naughty child. She bites her lip every time she hears his voice, forcing back a smile. She can tell he is bored with the topic of said meeting - Elves have a tendency of giving long, grave speeches whereas Men tend to be more direct - and she has taken it upon herself to be his rescuer.

However she mustn't be seen or caught. Each time she hears approaching footsteps, she ducks into an alcove and holds her breath. When the danger has passed, she resumes her position, tilting her head and standing on her tiptoes to catch sight of him.

It is when the rather solemn group of Elves leaves the room for some fresh air that she strikes. Quick as the wind, she wraps her arms around Aragorn's waist and whispers "Come with me" into his ear. Surely he will not hesitate?]

[enduringhope]

{Arwen is the most sneaky! Just ask Aragorn.

He does his very best to pay strict attention to all the meetings he's subjected to, but some are always more long-winded than others. Finally his latest guests take a breather, which also gives him the chance to close his eyes and take a deep breath of his own.

Only registering familiar arms and precious voice in his ear keeps him from striking or any sudden move. He grins and runs on soft feet with her.

Only when they're 'safe' does he laugh softly and pull her close.}

Always.

she's a thief!

[theeveningstar]

[She trusts him with all her heart. The only threat she poses is to the meeting running smoothly! But surely they can survive him being absent for a little while? Holding up her skirt with one hand and holding onto him with the other, Arwen takes him to the first place they met. The grass tickles her legs and her feet and she laughs over her triumph.]

You work too hard! I was afraid you would forget how to smile.

[Arwen plants herself in his arms and rests her cheek against his chest.]

Life shouldn't always be so serious.

{Sure, did you have something in mind for these two?}

Sheryl doesn't really need much goading to try and find the treasure of the lost princess. It's almost as much fun as being chased through the woods at high gallop and climbing a tower that must have been abandoned for years. She doesn't actually expect to find anyone.

[acertainlifestyle]

Joan mixes up the batter, adding a sprinkle of sugar. She needs to get this perfect. Needs to make it up to Mistress.

The fight was all her fault. She knows that.

Mistress has always told her never to ask about the outside. Never to ask about finding the parents who abandoned her. Never to be ungrateful. But she was today. Very. She made Mistress raise her voice and get so angry, before looking so bad and making Joan feel incredibly guilty for bringing it up. So now she's baking some cupcakes as an apology.

She can bake, she can sew, she can paint, she can do all sorts. Mistress has never denied her anything in her little tower - except the outside. But outside was dangerous and full of nasty people that wanted to hurt her. Especially when they saw what her hair could do. Because apparently not everyone has magical hair that glows when she sings and can heal any wound, even age. Hair that must never be cut, which is why she's trying not to trip over it as she moves to pour the batter into the tray, to put in the oven.

No, Mistress keeps her safe. She knows that. She needs to stop...dreaming of what might be out there. Stop being ungrateful.

[actuallyagirlsname]

Sheryl can't believe that no one has found this place. She uses her arrows and begins to climb. Whatever it is smells enticing. The jewels clink in her pack of stolen goods and she hears distant shouts that they've lost her trail... for now. She's not... traditionally dressed, more like a boy (a thief) than a girl though her hat had been lost somewhere in the chase and the tightly knotted braid is coming undone.

Fingerless, rejected gloves protect her palms as she climbs. She reaches the window and peers over, hearing what sounds like singing... the sweet smell must be baking cakes.

[acertainlifestyle]

"I know you,
I walked with you once upon a-"

Joan sings as she puts the cake in the oven, hoping her magic can somehow help the taste as it does with healing wounds.

There's a chirp from her pet sparrow and She turns.

"Mistress?" Is she back so soon?

Then she sees the face at the window. Not...Mistress...

She screams.

[actuallyagirlsname]

Sheryl ducks. Usually people don't... scream. They yell and they tell her to stop but... they don't scream. She almost fell thanks to that! It startled her.

So there's a girl in this tower about her age making delicious cakes ... and screaming?
