The World of Astrial

The Royal Court. Court is not the court. It meant as the entire palace. This place expands quite large and holds at least 30% of the city's area. Plenty of towers, guards, and walls. There is also a large courtyard for training and a moderate size garden for the princesses. The entrance leads to the king's residing throne where the king hears out to the population's needs. The quarters are several floors above. Lavish with decoration, color, and wealth.

A blinding light blinded the heroes when they teleported into the room. They, the heroes, got teleported here from the Earth. The room was quite large. There were four guards that dress quite finely and well armored. There was a female who was fully dress armor down with emblem here and there. There was a large two handed sword on her back, seemingly to be the Royal Captain. Next to her was a female magic user who was somewhat frail in personality and nervous. She had a magic book attached to her waist. Further down there was two additional guards and the king and the queen. "Oh? It worked. Welcome heroes to Mast!" the king said as he stood up, "I am King Ortsod. Welcome to my kingdom."

((Rp start!))

Korbin blinked a couple of times before looking around. He was a bit confused but he kept himself composed, as is his modus operandi.

"Mast? How... unusual." He spoke with an inquisitive gaze upon the king.

Probably either a fever dream or it's really happening. He thought to himself.

He took another sweeping look around the room before his gaze fell upon who he presumed to be the Royal Captain.

Well I guess that there could be life out there. Thanks Copenhagen. He thought.

Arrow fired at target. Direct hit. Bull's eye.

Another arrow direct hit.

Fazer will be so proud of me. Zis is ze tenz arrow in a row I've put into ze bull's eye. Zat's ze highest score I've ever gotten.

Before Elly knew it, she was teleported to the Royal Court. She found herself surround by light.

What ze?

"I am King Ortsod. Welcome to my kingdom."

Where am I?

All Elly had on her was her civilian clothing and archery equipment. Her hoody was red and had a cane and sickle on it with a star. She also had a pair of jeans on, which were black. Hoisted over her shoulder, a quiver. Her bow was in her right hand, held down at her side.

The look on her face was that of pure confusion.

Zis could be an illusion, set up by ze americans. I need to keep alert.

"As you must be confused but I will allow Henry Hall here to explain" King said as he sat down. A magic user, dressed what typical magic users tend to wear, robe wise, who's color was mainly black, dark purple, and blue. He was also carrying a magic book.

"I'm sorry this has happen to you but the situation you are in is quite....a problematic one" Henry said, "I understand your confusion but this is not a dream. You are indeed heroes summoned from whatever planet you were on. I was summoned as a hero as well from the planet Earth in 1958. Well...ex-hero that is. The king here gave our group a choice. If you so wish to return to your world, you can work yourself hard and find the artificat which the northern realm holds or if you wish to stay like me and someone else did, then you are free to go."

"If you think I am lying then I have brought of this" Henry said as he took out an old textbook from under his sleeve and a guild card. He handed them to see. The only thing visible on the guild card was this:

Name: Henry Hall
Level: 258
Rank: Black
Title: Ex-hero

The old textbook was in English. It was slightly wore out but the flipping through thoroughly the copyright time was at 1956. It came with appropriate address, company name, and such.

"And these are your guild cards" he said as he presented them their respective cards. All three guilds in approximately were glowing. "Glowing cards are authentic guild cards and only glow when they are in approximately of one and another." The guild cards stated their name, level, stats, abilities, and titles. One of the title was: Summoned Hero. "If you still don't believe me, you can ask me questions."

There was a sound similar to someone snapping their fingers as Angelo appeared about a foot off the ground next to the female magic user. He stumbled a bit as he fell to the ground. "Sorry, I'm late I know. Had a few... issues trying to teleport here." His voice sounded rather concerned. He had a slight accent. Whenever he would say a word ending in "-ing" you could hear him just say "-in." He was dressed in a deep purple robe with gold colored embroidery, which suggested that he was someone of a higher stature. There was a rather thick book floating in front of him. It had a brown leather binding and not writing on the front.

He stood up straight as her removed the hood and revealed a teenager, about the age of 16, with bright white hair and eyes with constant changing colors. He smiled a widely. Contrary to his clean, dry, and fancy robes, he was soaked. His worn skin also suggested he was born on a farm and would be very comfortable if he had to work the land. "Sorry for the appearance, that too was cause of a few problems." He laughed a little and snapped his fingers causing the book to disappear.

"Now that's something I can get behind, wish I had that back at home." Korbin commented on Angelo's teleportation.

"The book is authentic, incredible." He said looking at the worn pages.

I need to be on my guard, I'm not trusting them too easily yet.

"And this is my name, can't be an elaborate prank." He said staring at his guild card with faint astonishment on his face.

Elly glanced at the card she had just been handed.

Even zough its highly unlikely zis is for real, zey did know exactly who I was and my relative skill level wiz ze bow.... But still............. I suppose I may.... play along. I still shouldn't let my guard down.

Elly pulled out a cigarette from her pocket, and lit it up.

Cigarettes provide great comfort and control of ze mind. Americans I must admit got one zing right. Even ze drunk is right once in a while zough, you know? I should find zis artifact and return to fazer promptly. I shall collect evidence of my endeavors to show fazer. Perhaps he know somezing about zis... Maybe he's even testing me now or zis is some sort of American experiment.

"My I ask you somezing?" Elly asked, looking at Henry.

"Sorry for the suddenness but you have to bare with me" Henry said, "And yes Miss? What is your question?"

The king looked at the young boy, "And you are from the trade city. A disgraceful sight in front of the king? How dare you. Show some respect." He was quite annoyed, not surprising considering the last 50 years of politics.

"What is ze purpose of zis exercise? What are you hoping to achieve? Some sort of experiment, no? Perhaps you gain some sort of grant from ze government for for zis assignment?"

Elly was looking right at Henry.

"Well I understand that this is perhaps a prank or a joke to you but this is no joke. However if you so insist then.." Henry said as he opened the palm of his hands as a flame appeared over it, "This does not occur simply in the real world."

No.... zat's impossible.... wait... I remember zather telling me something about zis.... A simulation.... Fazer is likely testing me.... Zen ze only way out is to either complete ze challenge or find error in ze system... Perhaps its better to go along with it for now.

"Hmmmmm you make good point.... Perhaps I'll play along."

Elly puffs her cigarette.

"Play along? I guess that would be one way to put it." Korbin said, his gaze swapping between Elly and the king.

"So you said that there is an artifact that can return us home?" Korbin said, trying to change things back to the subject at hand. His eyes scanning back and forth throughout the room, evaluating his surroundings.

Angelo gave a nervous laugh and smile. "Sorry, sir. Like I said. I was late and I kinda teleported into a lake instead of here. If there is anything you ever need of me just ask." He willed his book to appear again and flipped through it and spoke some words of a different language. He glowed lightly as he dried off. "There we go."

The king watched with stern eyes.

"Yes. There is an artifact that can teleport you home, but I have not seen it. I decided to stay here so I had no reason to seek it in the northern realm" he said, "Training is involved but I do remember Mast will help you train you into heroes."

Angelo then turned towards the heroes. His expression immediately changed to a more focused look as if he was sizing them up. He leaned over to the magic user next to him and whispered real quietly. "I'm feeling holes being burned in the side of my head. Any way I can ease this anger?"

"Ah o-oh me?" Arisa said. She was perhaps the one closest to him, unless he meant Henry. "U-um...no not really....it's just...politics I guess?" she whispered back.

The king was around the age of 45. His hair was entirely gray, perhaps genetics played a part here. The queen was 40ish but still held her long blond hair naturally and beautifully. The king had brown eyes while the queen had blue.The Royal Captain, Icaria, had a short blond hair that only extended near the shoulders with green eyes to pair. She looked 24ish. The armor had feminine features being smaller than the male armor. Other than the cape she was wearing, there wasn't anything unique about her set of armor other than being uniform with the rest.

Arisa had brown eyes and brown hair. Her age was probably around 18-20. Again she looked slightly frail, the typical type of being nervous and shy in situations. You know? The shy girl type. However for some odd reason she managed to hold her head up high.

Henry had black hair and black eyes but doesn't seemed of Asian feature. However he had a slight English accent. I do remember I explained the his colors before hand but his overall color scheme gives a secret scholar vibe from it. He looked 25.

Elly noticed how Angelo had been observing them all.

Little child... I'm not entirely sure zat child is real or an AI in zis simulation.... It seems to me zat many of ze ones around here are mere computer brains....

But zat boy seems yes... He's likely real. I can see his face... his brain working. Another caught up in zis simulation. Perhaps fazer is testing me. Yes, he's allocated me an army to work wiz and command.

I'm not exactly sure what ze boy's combat ability is. His dress-wear is bizarre.... wait.... Zat's it. I remember reading about zis in a novel. He might be a user of magic. But I'm pretty certain zat magic is non-exist.... Perhaps his power comes zrough ze simulation?

And what of the other.... hmmmm

Elly began observing Korbin.

((Yo Loki, tell me a little about your character's appearance.))

Something's up. By now the king would have given us some sort of idea of where to go. I just can't place it.

Korbin began pivoting his entire body while looking around. His gaze briefly locked with Eliana's before continuing.

After Korbin's gaze returned to the king, he turned himself sideways somewhat, as was by habit from martial arts training.

(Korbin is a somewhat lean guy with a bit of muscle to compliment his figure. He's somewhat pale with dark green eyes. His hair is kept relatively short and is a dark brown almost black color. He's wearing a black formal long coat with a blue tie. His pants are also black but are loose and unrestrictive.)
