You feel your brain spinning as you groan into consciousness, you must have had a rough night---oh no, oh dear goodness no. Your not where you should be. The atmosphere you are in is surrounding in what I'd only call a dim light. Your only light source is a cracked open window, revealing the form of the rising sun, or was it setting? You attempt to move, to scramble to your feet, to begin gaining your bearings, but you can't. Something is binding your hands and calves together, a rope going from the wall behind you to your bound behind your back hands. With effort you can sit up, but you might want to look around a bit more. "Oh, your awake." You can't help but flinch, the tone is rather gruff, yet melodious, pleasant though harsh. You honestly cannot tell if the voice belongs to a male or a female. If you managed to get your eyes over to where you think you heard the voice. Your eyes would have been graced by a grin graced by a predator's teeth, a tint of yellow in color, and a pair of striking dark lime green eyes, staring straight at you. Her body is the last thing from normal, it's dipping and curling in places it shouldn't, you don't know if she's wearing a bunch of strange clothes, or that was her body. Yes this beast was definitely female, you could tell by what little you could see of her face. The beast, monster, thing? Lady? Whatever it was, it was sitting at a table. Back erect with a cup of something in her claws... hands? Whatever they were, the substance in the cup was warm considering the steam wafting gently from it. "I do apologize for the bindings, but I don't know who you are and what you are doing in my wood. I suggest answering quickly, and truthfully, I know more than most would believe." ~ Well, how about that? You have no idea where you are, also there are some things about your body you will soon find different. Last thing you remember, is well, the last time you fell asleep. Last time you were asleep you were back in your old world, you were normal, but now your here, in a monster's cabin, and you don't even know what's going on. All you know is that your in a bind, literally. Let's see how this goes. Rules:No God-modding No Overpowered people No Perfect people, everyone has flaws Decent grammar and post size, I want third person writing if you can help it. Be Respectful, do not be afraid to suggest things and speak your mind, worst thing I can say is no. Have fun I reserve the right to change these as it becomes necessary. I am your Master of this world, if you do something silly and dangerous, unless you can give me a good enough reason to not get your character hurt and you fail to inform accordingly to your health I will give you an injury. Character sheet: (PM me these, or if I make an OOC post it there.) Username: Name: Age: (16-19 That's right, want yah young but not to young.) Gender: Appearance: (Very important, all the details you can give is what I want to get.) History: (General history, can add bits of personality in here if you want since I'm not actually putting a personality slot here. I just want to know in what kind of area and influences they experienced growing up.) Interests: Attributes: ( Don't know what this is yet? Keep reading.) Attributes appearance effect: Element: ( Fire, water, ground, air, and everything in between, etc.) Alright, time to explain attributes. Whatever brought you into this world couldn't let you go in alone, it's dangerous. It gave you certain aspects most of the inhabitants had. This is where you pick or suggest one. If it's a suggestion we're going to have to go over it, last thing I need is an over powered person. Remember, your body will be awkward to you with whatever changes you receive, and certain attributes cannot have a certain element, you will not know how to use these first thing and will probably hurt yourself if you begin to recklessly develop them. Types of creatures you can pick from: Drakes. Harpies. Fairy. (You will be trapped in a lantern as you will be as tall as a pen standing up.) Fawn. Centaur. (More than just a horse variety) Naga. Mermaid. ( You will have a water containment on your head.) Deep-Sea Creature. (like a mermaid but a different fish because they live deeper in the water than most. You will sea better in the dark and be more sensitive to the light as well as feel like your choking for water whenever your not immersed in it. You will have a water containment on your head if this is so.) Half-creature. (These will be the most exotic, they're a mix of things, but they're also rejected as freaks as their breeding has been corrupted and ruined. Your going to have to tell me what they're mixed with so I can ok it.) Remember suggestions are welcome, you can also pick none of these but keep an element. Remember, you are not completely what they are, if you pick a drake, you will look more human than drake but you will retain some of their looks, I will need these in the attribute looks section. I will help shape your character sheet as needed. Also it would do me well to note you would be bound accordingly based on whatever you have turned into, so no escaping. Think mythical medieval with a twist. Going to work this out as I go.

She also has narrow wings to fly faster and higher. Scales: A light shadow of purple-blue, to match her eyes. Element: Air

Katrina's eyes flickered in the dim light, only making out an outline of a shady looking character in the distance. Her eyes darted around the room, searching, seeking even. Her mouth felt odd and dry, and her teeth were dry. A pain had grasped her back, in two spots, along with her tail bone. Curious as to why, she tried to peek around her shoulder, and gasping in shock when she saw what lie on her back. Two large black and gray wings were strapped together, in an unbreakable lock. She grumbled, but it came out of her mouth as a growl, and she closed her lips immediately. She couldn't figure out the reason for the pain in her tailbone, for that wasn't in her current sight range. She didn't dare speak, fearing what awaited her.

Alyssa hated being in small spaces. She liked wide open areas, where she could run and be free. Now she was confined in a small cabin/prison/building. Whatever, it didn't matter to her. She just wanted to get out of here. Alyssa tried the move, but she only managed to shuffle a bit. Something was keeping her bound, and preventing her from escaping. The female drake's eyes adjusted to the darkness, spotting someone else, a vague and familiar shape that seemed similar to hers.

"Ah ah ah." The figure moved her right, um... what looked to be a talon-hand thing? What was that exactly? Either way, it was colored and textured as a bird talon, three sharply direct claws with one sturdy lithe thumb-claw, thing. Ah man this was getting weird. She waved a single talon in the motions as if to shame something. "Ts tsk, I don't hear any mouth words." She sipped her beverage, her eyes glancing to the ceiling, momentarily going out of sight of her visitors. "I suppose it's understandable, new place and everything..." Her eyes flicked back to her captives. "I do keep it dark in here don't I? Though I believe that should be obvious. Frankly I'd find it hard to believe any rumors have escaped a single creatures ears by now." The eyes seemed to focus for a moment. "But I digress." She set down her cup, her hands expertly retrieving something from her table. "I assure you that if you ever have someone under your mercy you'd get a little giddy too." A chuckle radiated throughout the room. "Allow me to shed some Light on the situation."
A match sparked into life. The talon-ed hand quickly lit a lantern, the glass scattering light about the room in a destructive dance. The Lady winced. To anyone watching closely, they would have noticed a strange looking eyelids cover a pitch black section of her (used to be huge) eyes. The light gave clarity to the whole room aside from obvious corners and shadows from objects blocking the light's invasion. Now was the time to examine just who this person was.
Ram horns protruded from the woman's head, smaller horns splitting from the main horns, they were a lovely rotten yellow color, if not a tinge darker. Her hair was a dark brown, black in some places and a brighter brown in others, they seemed to have a feather-like consistency to them. Octopus looking tentacles seemed to jut out at odd angles from her hair, not to many, but enough to make one stare, if not frown harshly in disgust; they were dark purple-bluish in color. Her face was scarred in odd places, though you could only assume that considering there wasn't any small scales growing below the forehead and past her one left deer-like ear; though fine dark fur covered her face, making it look black. You couldn't see what her forearms, collar-bone or chest looked like. Her arms looked to be covered in a laced at the bottom long sleeved shirt. A strange dark-blue clasp-on shawl that went tight around the neck and stretched down the lady's chest. A white ruffled ascot hung over the shawl, more as decoration than anything. Her right hand was actually a talon, actually perfect in color and sharp white claws. Her left hand was a bit weirder, the pinky and ring finger were octopus tentacles, the rest actual claws. What was even stranger about this lady's appearance was, from the chest down, her body seemed to faze into a black mass, it was simply nonexistent.
She must have noticed an odd look from somewhere/someone, because an amused smirk graced her lips as she began to rise. The black mass surrounding her rose as well. "What? Never seen a centaur before?" Her standing proved the shape of four black feline legs, well toned with claws unsheathed. A strange leather casing draped over and around the lion's body she was tied too, from her chest to the small of her back. A long, thin black tail swept back and forth across the floor. She took a few steps forward, her leg muscles tensing and relaxing as they readjusted her own weight. "Now, let's begin again shall we? What are you doing in my wood? Some sort of bait to lure me out? Didn't work well if you got lost from the group now did it? But what I really, really want to know is." The lady soon covered the light, obscuring her face and frontal features. Those eyelids flighted open, the slight light allowing her prisoners to see the void of black surrounding her striking, lime-green eyes. This act only brought more attention to the only bit of color to her face, not to mention the shark-like green she didn't resist suppressing. "Why you both have my face."

Katrina tried to move her arms, only to fail and just struggle. She looked at the...<i>thing's</i> face. Then she dared look at her host, seeing it all, and thinking in her head when she announced what she was, <i>A centaur? Those only exist in Greek legend! Well, I guess I do have wings, can't really criticize now. Katrina had a brave soul, and dared be the first to speak, "All I remember is blank. Being at my house is my last memory, then it switches to here. No clue how I would end up here at all." At the next remark, Katrina turned to the other captive, examining her face, and then examined the centaur's face. They shared an uncanny resemblance, and she wondered if her own face held the same features. Katrina tried to figure out more, only to see her arms covered in scales. Her eyes widened at this, and she spoke yet again," What am I? Wings, scales, what else?"

Alyssa struggled a bit, but then realized she was not all human. "What the-" she stopped herself, and nodded to the other one that seemed similar to her. "Same with me. I don't really remember much before I was knocked out, though."

A frown adorned the woman's face at the vague answers and questions. "Oh come now, don't play dumb with me." The figure strode back to her table, which only took a few steps, taking her cup back into her hands. She sipped from her wooden mug quietly. "If I hadn't already examined you both for spell effects I might believe your ignorance." Her strange eyelids noticeably closed off the black part of her eyes. Her body seemed to take on a worn out look as it laid back down to the ground, back to the position she had started in. "Like I said when I first heard your stirring, I know more than most would believe."
Hm... what will you do now?

Alyssa was silent. Spell effects? Suddenly, she realized that something was pinned behind her. "What happened?" she asked. "I don't remember being like this before I blacked out."

Katrina smirked slightly,"It takes a spell to knock someone out?" The look disappeared from her face when she had the realization of danger. She looked around for something to possibly cut her bindings, but came out with nothing. She struggled in her bindings, trying to break free, but failing miserably. Sighing, she gave up.

The woman turned to look at them oddly, an eyebrow quirked in question. "Do not tell me you both know nothing of fairy magic either? Are you mocking my speech or are you really clueless. I can see why both of you would have been sheltered from such knowledge if I had too, but that still doesn't explain why you two we're in my wood." The figure's lips curved downward in distaste. "It'd be better if you didn't struggle, no amount of wiggling will get any breakable pieces of rope near those spines of yours darling. Good bindings, and enchanted to boot." The feather-like hair of the creature gently waved to and fro as the figure stood up again, downing the rest of her drink. "It's growing late, answer answer little ones, I need to know if I actually have another mouth to feed."

Katrina lay her head down for a moment,"I swear to you, I'm being completely honest here. Even if I did come here on purpose, I have no memory of it." Her head whirled and she began to ache. Her wrists were sore from being bound, and her mouth dry in dehydration. Katrina looked up, taking a big risk,"If you let me free, I can work for you. I grew up on a farm, I can be of use, but not if I'm dehydrated and bound to this wall."

Alyssa was silent, but she was weighing her options. Tell the truth, and hopefully get out of here, or stay and find out more about the certain topic. "Fairy magic?" she finally asked.

"My my, what a terribly horrid thing to do. You must not have much to life but a strong will. A poison elemental drake with a strange face as a slave... A life for a life. Hardly seems fair, but you'll find in my wood words are power." The creature quickly ascended, her talons wrenching open a drawer on her cabinet. Her clawed and tentacled hand quickly rustled through the papers. "Ah, found it." The woman cleared her throat, holding a piece of old, yellow parchment up. "Words spoken here before, come before you are no more." The air began to burst with a warm golden light as letters to words began to appear in the air. The creatures striking green eyes settled on the poison drake. A claw directed itself toward her, directing the words previously spoken by Katrina hither. She examined them, a claw resting on her chin. "First sentence only." The words "If you let me free, I can work for you." drifted away from the rest of Katrina's phrase, burning itself onto the paper. The lettering was gold and really quite elegant, showing the words for exactly the emotion they bore when spoken. "Bound her by these words so honor might be ensured." One might stare in fascination as smaller words began to burn itself into the paper. "Ah... So your names Katrina... Odd name certainly, but it works. Now for details." "Katrina will not raise any weapon nor limb against me, Caelum Lexical, neither in jest or in violence or anything else. She, Katrina, will heed my, Caelum Lexical's, words and obey my instruction. Like a maggot uses rotting flesh to live I, Caelum Lexical, will use her, Katrina, to sustain myself. She will not betray me or become a traitor in my mist. If she should have a previous contract that might abolish mine, Caelum Lexical's, in term, I ask that no harm befalls me for another's deceit. I may keep her far, or near to me, no matter where she is, nothing will mean this contract is abolished until I abolish it. Another may not use her body to enchant and hurt me, as her body now works for me. Whatever I say, that is in her abilities to do, she will do. This, is what I deem work."
"The wind drake with the face of a mix-blood is witness to this testimony, as is Katrina and Caelum Lexical."
The creature, seemingly named Caelum Lexical, placed both her index fingers on the paper under her name, the paper quickly burning a replica of her finger print to itself.
"The witness bit is a formality, as is this, I don't actually need it to hold you to your words. But in the long run it would be better for you, Katrina, your hands should be able to do this, just place both your ring fingers under your name." Caelum's eyes flickered to the air drake. "This is a bit of fairy magic, you either need to be a fairy or have a fairy's blessing to preform this, not to mention the right paper. Contract paper takes a few days to make. After Katrina has her prints done I will need you as a witness to put your pinky fingers under your referance."

Katrina was silent, but she reached out both ring fingers and placed them under her name. She didn't know what to think any longer, so she went along with it.
