Prince Peter loved riding his horse. His home nestled here within the mountains gave great room for him and his horse to move. One day while riding his horse he came upon something that appeared as odd to him, in time he would come to understand it

sun breaking over the tops of hills, giving the valley a breath of new life for a day, the air still slightly blowing loose leaves along the forest floor.
Prince Peter dismounted a ways back, looking at some different rocks he had found by the banks of a winding creek, fish swam nearby dodging to get the new fallen cricket into the stream, the bubbling sounds of the fishes movement floats up to the sound of the leaves and water streaming and the sound of a horse stamping hoof, the Prince bends down to look upon the moss covered surface of the rock
a small sound escapes the wind as if blown, the small cry of a bird, or maybe a woman or small child...but soon words of help became very evident..

OOC: hope its ok if i join

IC: Reza heard the cry for help as she was siting in a tree in the forest she looked around and wounder where it was comeing from she jumped down from the tree and began to walk towared the crys of help

standing and looking upriver a small bead of sweat rolls down his cheek, the Prince steps a boot into the water, icely cold from the mountain at its origin, wading into ankle deep water he begins to walk up towards the sound, the roaring of a waterfall coming into play drowning a little of the cry out, but still audible he finds himself facing one of the many large waterfalls in the land, water cascading down the broken rock splashing down, an airy mist clings to the air

she sees a waterfall and a man she didn't know that he was the Prince as she came towared the waterfall hearing the crys of help she looks at the water cascading the broken rock splashing down she looked at the man then the waterfall

He saw a woman walk out of the woods amidst the noise and confusion and stopped and took in the view of her.. Her dress was worn, with dark green eyes, and hair that seemed so clean, he wondered how she kept it that way. Prince Peter heard the cries again and they seem to be coming from the waterfall. He slowly walked towards the woman looking to her promisingly

She backed off a bit as she saw the man approach her she didn't know whether to trust him or not hearing the crys again she looked at the waterfall being distracted from the man for a moment then looked back to him she noticed he was looking at her promisingly she decided to trust him

He walked to the woman seeing that she was fairly young looking and beautiful despite the rags, but with eyes that had a knowing of something more, he smiled " I am Prince Peter, did you hear cries for help as I did?" they were close enough to where the waterfall mist blanketed them, and the roar of the water rushing was tremendous

She says I am Reza yes i did hear the crys for help as you did she thought to herself she had not met a Prince before she listend to the roaring of the water rushing then turnd her attention back to Prince Peter

" nice to meet you Reza* he said as he bowed to her. He straightened and walked into the water getting drenched and then came back out...
" there seems to be a passage way behind the waterfall, would you join me in my search?" he offered his hand to her

She looked at his hand then she took his hand yes i will join you in your search

taking her hand he stepped through the waterfall with her, and as the water cascaded onto them, the rush ended as they emerged behind the waterfall into a cave that seemed to go right through the mountain and beyond only light could be seen. Walking slowly towards the light he held walked with his head high looking and searching, when the small sound of something came through louder saying " helllppp"
It did not have a direction really and looking around gave no clue.
but as they emerged from the cave all thought went out as they were standing in the most beautiful forest he had ever seen, the sun seemed brighter here, there was a lake with birds flying, and trees, large and very tall.

She looked at the forest and the lake she couldn't belive how beautiful everything was as she looked around woundering where they were

he had never seen or heard of a place like this in all the kingdom.
The grass was so emerald green and every color seemed so bright and full of life. he saw deer skipping across the forest and over to the lake where they stopped and drank for a few minutes before walking slowly back.
He looked at Reza and smiled big before starting to walk slowly over to the lake, the sound seemed to be echoeing across it

She smilles a bit back at the Prince and wached him walk over to the lake and soon followed looking around and listening to the things around her

He looked back at her smiling and looked down at the lake where he saw his reflection smiling back at him, and also the bottom of the clear blue water..it was so beautiful, he heard the slight crack of thunder and looked over to the right and saw a mountain in the distance rising high all alone, with dark clouds wreathing it's top, lightning crashing down from it. he no longer heard the cry, but he had an ominous feeling about this. this land was so beautiful and yet that mountain loomed in the distance, it almost felt threatening. He looked to Reza, " do you see that? what do you make of it?"

She smilled a bit back at him she looked at the mountain that was rising high all alone and at the dark clouds wreathing it's top she wached the lightning crash down from it she looks at the Prince yes i see it its a mountain with dark clouds wreathing it's top but it seems to be mised place in this beautiful land

" Indeed it is" he said with a stern face

Just then a tree could be heard falling deep in the forest, and then another, something very large was coming this way, and the gutteral sounds of some type of animal could be heard as well
Unsheathing his sword Prince Peter readied himself for whatever came.
"stay behind me, I will protect you"

she heard the sounds of trees falling and a sound of some type of animal she stayed behind the Prince as he told her to do stareing at where the sound where comming from

in the distance, the trees falling came into view as the trees nearer started to fall with a louder and louder crash, forest animals could be seen running and a dark form of some smooth rolling contraption started to come into view, as did several pig snouted faces walking on two legs.
Pig men carrying axes and uttering somethings not recognizable in a harsh language of grunts.
Looking around the prince saw a huge tree nearby that didn't seem to be in the path of the rolling thing, he ran over to it grabbing Reza's hand and seeing a vine bend down underneath a fallen branch, cutting it while grabbing it, and they rose quickly into the air. The prince swung around holding reza tight, they landed on a tree branch high above the forest

she looked at the pig men and their axes she felt the Prince grab her hand she felt them rise quickly into the air and felt the tight hold the prince had on her as he swung around and landed on a tree branch abouve the forest she looked down at the forest then at the Prince thank you

he smiled back at her, his blonde hair swinging " of course" he whispered, crouching low on the branch he watched as the men and the big contraption passed by, the vibration from the ground shaking the tree a bit, though none of the monsters seem to notice their existence.
" what are these things and what are their purpose" he said to himself..
he looked back at Reza.." you ok?" he wondered..." we must get to some place safe"

she looked at the Prince yes im fine how about you she looked around looking for a safe place

" do you know these woods? I am fine" he looked around and grabbed ahold of Reza and took hold of a vine and swung from the tree to the ground below, looking around at the destruction that was caused.
the path seemed to come from beyond the forest and back where it looked dark as like the mountain. suddenly a pig man came out of no where and charge at the two raising his axe high to attack, the prince raised his sword to meet the attack

no i don't know these woods she felt him grab ahold of her again and was on the ground again she looked at the big man that came out of no where raiseing his axe high to attack

he met the axe with a blow of his sword dancing around and slicing the monster down the back, as it fell he ran over to where they had come from only to find that thepassage they had followed was no longer there
no waterfall, no passage just forest where it once was." where the hell are we?"

She looked at the place where tey had came out of i do not know where we are but we better find a safe place to stay

Over and across the broken woods, the smell of burnt chrred limbs remained thick in the air as they made their way down the path from which the terrible monsters came, many of the forest animals were beginning to return to the area, looking at ruined homes, trying to find food.
A larger tree than most they came too that was off the path a bit, ahad a ladder going up it, but looking up reveled nothing special about the tree other than its enormous size..." I think we should go up" he said

She looked at him then at the tree alright lets go as she went up the ladder first then she looked down at the Prince waiting for him to come up

He quickly followed her kind of enjoying her lead, he neared her on the ladder and stopped looking up at her

She looked back at him well are you comming

OOC - is it okay that I join

OOC: sure

Prince Peter started up the ladder more quickly almost over running her at one point and once they were at the top, they stood on a wide wooden platform, seemingly circular and perfectly fitting this large tree, looking beyond showed other trees some even higher up with platforms on them..other ladders lead up to other trees but nothing moved on these platforms, nothing at all..He saw the way that she was looking around and decided to make this place their safe place for now...he looked over the forest floor, seeing many things move there.
He quickly gathered wood and with his expert woodsmanship he quickly had a fire going.

OOC: ill be gone for a few days i just need some time away

Skills: Ivy is very well educated (she was insistant upon it) and a superb archer. )

IC: Ivy screamed as loud as she could. She was holding on to a tree branch for her dear life because if she let go she'd go into the river then consequencely down the waterfall. Her long hair was soaking wet and matted down, as was her long white bathing dress. She screamed once more, begging for someone to help her.

OOC: decided to come back ahead of time


IC: She wached the flams of the fire filcker then she head a scream she looked around then at Prince did you hear that she seached around with her eyes and listend to here where the scream was comming from

Ooc: Hey Buddha, how would you like a fairy in your story, like Tinkerbell with a Chicago attitude?

Brown hair, blue eyes, six inches tall.
Skills: spells, glamour-casting, channelling spirit-kind, speaking with animals.

OOC: yes indeed sounds good to all

A scream pierced the night as he was just starting to get warm, he stood and looked around, something familiar tickling his memory, " It's coming from over there" he pointed to beyond the trees on the other side of the lake where a waterfall careened down some rock, but was too distant to make out the low rumble of the water. He looked up in the trees finding a vine from a far off tree luckily connected, though he suspected whoever lived here before made a way of swinging from vines. He grabbed a hold of one of the vines and swung, it put him on a tree right next to the lake. He made his way down the tree deftly, and amazingly a row boat sat on shore

Ivy kept on screaming as loud as she could, even louder because slowly her hand was slipping. Though she may have looked weak and in distress, she really wasn't. She just didn't want to have to pull herself out, because her dress may rip and it was already quite see-through at the moment. That of course was the reason why her other hand was covering some of her very ample cheast. Ivy screamed and looked around to find someone, but unfortunately she saw no one.

he jumped in the boat and rowed over to where the water fall was looking up he saw a beautiful figure dangling like a doll, he blushed as he saw more of her than expected and quickly started to climb the side of the waterfall where the rocks were, climbing to where the branch stuck out, he reached out his hand" grab a hold of my hand"

Ivy smiled as she grabbed his hand with the one that should've been covering her chest. She allowed Prince Peter to pull her out. She shook her head to get some of the water out of her hair. Ivy stood there for a few seconds, then she hugged Peter tightly. She sighed and said, "Is there anything I can do to repay you. You've saved my life!"

he grabbed her and pulled her in and then stood and looked at her unable to pull his eyes from her heavenly form, " I feel I have met you before but from where I cannot tell" he thought he rembered her voice in ways but not quite...he thought aboutit and finally said" just stay close to me for now, the need may arise" he smiled " now get on my back I still need to climb down"

Ivy hopped onto Peters back and spoke softly into his ear, "What is your name, kind sir, so then I shall have my parents reward you? You're quite strong, are you a peasant? I shall have you knighted!" Ivy couldn't resist, but to notice Peter's strong physique and his unique beauty. She kissed him on the cheek and continued talking, "I hope I'm not getting you dreadfully damp."

he only subtlely noticed the wetness, it was the form of her body on his back that he couldn't get his mind off of, but then that was for another time, " I am Prince Peter" he said in all his confidence of office " and it is of no trouble to rescue one such as yourself" he continued to climb down the rock to the boat waiting and as he climbed down into the boat, he smiled as he helped her off his back " my camp is on the other side of thelake, you can dry yourself there"

Ivy's eyes got large when he uttered his name. She smiled uneasily and said, "Oh, I'm dreadfully sorry, but I'm not allowed to be near you...if my parents find out they will be infuriated I know it. I really can't stay, can you just let me get out? I'll find my way home." Ivy once again realized that she was revealing quite a lot. Even more so considering that this Prince was an enemy. She swiftly crossed her legs and covered her chest. "I really am sorry."

he had his back to her rowing the boat, " well if you can find a way back then let me know..I cannot..." and his words trailed as something caught his mind, " who are your parents?" he stopped rowing and turned aroundto look at her covering herself now " what is it? " asked confused a bit not knowing if he had not treated her justly

Ivy sighed and slowly explained herself, "Well I am Princess Ivy. My parents, the King and Queen of the kingdom neighboring yours, used to be allies with yours. But after my brother was found murdered...well my parents severed ties with everyone except our family. They don't trust anyone, and the only reason why I'm alone now is that I send my servants away when I bathe. If my parents find me with you, they're bound to have you killed. And that of course would start a war. So as you can see, I really should go...for your safety." Ivy stood up in the boat and sat down next to Prince Peter. "By no means, am I ungrateful. I just feel something about you and I wouldn't be able to bear to see it further just to have you taken away from me."
