Pyronnis walks barefoot through the marble castle,her eyes alight with joy. A smile sits on the young immortal maiden' face, sparks flying from the tips of her hair. Not that this bothered her. The sparks had no warmth to her skin. That happens when you're the princess of the Elemental Empire. She skips through the halls, red makeup adorning her face, accentuating her beauty, as her hair glows and flickers with an unearthly quality. Somewhere in the castle, Hydronnia, Airrounis, and Terranna slept, or tended to themselves. Reaching a door guarded by two surly guards, dressed all in red. They stare down at her lovingly, having known her since she was born, and watched her grow up. Grinning, they enthusiastically utter the same sarcastic greeting they have for years, ever since she could speak. "Good Morning Princess Pyronnis Pyronessia Flame, Daughter of the great Lord Darrious of the Elemental Empire. That's a mighty big name for such a little lady." Pyronnis grins up at the man, who towers over her at 7ft. "Well I will be big one day, and then, I'll be even taller than you!" The trio laughs as the second guard, James musses Pyro's hair, grinning as a shower of sparks float up from the girls hair. "I'll call you red," James said, as he has every day for the last x amount of years. Pyronnis' eyes are alight with interest and joy. "I hear father sent a gift for me? What is it this time? Darrious! James! Tell me! You must!" Pyronnis' father was rarely home, which is why he had employed the help of guards to look after his three daughters and son. However, he was in no way a bad father, in fact, he thought about them alot, and often sent gifts for the children. Pyro always enjoyed the gifts he sent. Over the years, she had amassed various objects from her father, including a Phoenix, a Fire Fox, and other animals. Darrious and James laugh. "Its right through this door," The say in unison, chuckling at her exited interest. The Princess hugs them both quickly, grinning before dodging onto the door, her eyes bright and expecting, sparks showering from her hair.

Archur was sitting nervously in a chair. His back was rigid and despite the heat, he felt as if he were frozen in place and his sweat was cold.
He had been purchased from a slaver and given to the king who had sent him here. Before even that though he had just been a watchmaker's son. It was unfortunate that he had been caught by traffickers; everyone said he had a lot of potential in the watch and clock making business. He had been returning home with a bag of parts for his first solo piece when he had been bagged and dragged away.

"H-hello..." he said shyly upon the entrance of the princess and he bowed deeply. "My name is Archur. I-I was told I was to be your companion."

Lights dance in the immortals eye, and she grins in excitement. "You shall be. Its nice to meet you. I'm Pyronnis. Where have you come from, Mundane?" Pyronnis moves closer to him, egarly awaiting an answer.

He blushed and took a step back from her.
"I-I am a watch maker's son from a village in the southern regions called Tintel. I was kidnapped by slave traffickers... That's how I got here..." he said with a hint of shame in his voice and he averted his gaze.

A small smile flickers across the young immortal's face as she watches his blush creep across his cheeks. Stepping forward, she strokes his cheek. "Do you miss your father dearly?" She whispers sweetly.

He blushed bright red at her touch, "Y-yes mam," he nodded, "I-I was bringing home the things to make my first watch on my own when they caught me... I... I just want to see my mother and father again..." tears welled up in his eyes, "Even my little pests brothers..." he wanted to just sit and cry but refrained. He couldn't be seen crying in front of such a beautiful monarch.

Pyronnis' heart aches for him, and with out a word, she draws him close to her, enveloping him in a hug. "I'm sorry you ended up here on such a sad note. But I'm not so bad, I promise. And once we've found of you're good, and will return, I'm sure you can return to visit them."

His cheeks turned even more red and he froze when she hugged him, "C-couldn't you just let me go?"
