The Tale All Are Told

The 'official' story of the kingdom


"In a world of magic and chaos once ruled a human king. He was cruel and relentless, treating creatures from all planes like his servants and forcing all into servitude. Despite his human nature, it was said that evil laid whispers of chaos in his mind and gave him the power to manipulate all life, and in its finality, death.

Few were those who dared defy him. As powerful as he already was by himself, he shared that power with his soldiers and also had the loyalty of dragons. While considered noble creatures, these were undeniably swayed by their greed as the king offered them endless gold and jewels, and were thus feared by all. The kingdom lived in flames and thrived in darkness. People endured famine and plague, with no help from their king. Hope was decaying as humans controlled the very grasp of life of every living thing.

Celestials and gods fought terrible battles against this king and his soldiers, but none came to best him and tell the tale. The humans were protected and aided by dragons, and possessed the power of the nine hells. Ancient deities and old creatures found their end and were forgotten by all but ancient texts.

One day, a child of the sun itself came to life and descended upon earth with the will to save all. Creatures of all kinds sang his arrival and weeped in his presence ; he shone like a thousand stars and promised them peace and glory for years to come. He named himself Lathan, but all game him the title of "the Holy Paladin". He seemed human, but glowed like the sun and wore a golden armor with patterns of fallen celestials who fought against the evil king. He healed the sick and gave food to the dying ones, and so gained the praise and support of all. With him came winged alien creatures, skin pale as pearls, shining like satin with translucent eyes devoid of life. They fought the armies of the king under Lathan's command and destroyed his soldiers during endless months. It was said that the war lasted for a decade.

After what seemed like centuries, The Holy Paladin finally reached the king on a day we now call the "Glorious feast". He summoned a blade that none had seen before ; its black metal sliced through the ennemies and seemed to absorb the souls of all creature it touched. People all thought that on this day, Lathan ascended as a god and gained a holy weapon. With the support of all the kingdom, he took the king's head and sent the whispering devil back to Nessus, the deepest plane of the nine hells.

All texts written on that day claimed Lathan was declared king of the kingdom instantly and that none disputed his ruling. He cast the remaining dragons out of the castle but bought their loyalty to protect the barriers of his new empire. People considered this generous and saw their new ruler as kind and forgiving.

To this day, the kingdom lives in peace and creatures are no longer servants of the humans. Dragons are "protectors" of the realm under the Paladin's commands. People feast and drink on the holy day of the Glorious feast, praising the tale of the Holy Paladin who saved the kingdom. His time has long passed since then, but his family and heritage lives on as the sole ruler of the country."

It also seems that humans are now extinct, but no one questions where they went.

Sol

Solace is the sole daughter of the Vermeil family, an ancient but powerful lineage of dragon shapeshifters known to be violent and bloodthirsty. In a kingdom where demons still threaten the borders it once breached, the Vermeil family has to keep the borders safe to repent from the sins they commited in the past.
As Sol is a woman, she can't become heiress. Her mother decided to promise her to the prince of the realm to form a treaty of peace between her family and royalty. Surprisingly, they accepted. Torn between the need to serve her family and live freely, Sol is forced to act as a pawn in a game she's not aware of. Despite her greatest efforts, she barely gets any form of approval from her family and often daydreams of living in a different reality.Sol is the nickname her maid got her when she was just a child. She thought it more affectionate and closer to Soleil, meaning the sun in French.
As she grew up in a cold household, her maid was her only friend. She presumably died of old age but evidence shows sol's mother might have been part of a gruesome plan involving her murder.
Unfortunately for her, she's also had trouble finding how to fully transform and has so far only been able to produce fire through her fingertips and possesses a great force. She once almost succeeded in transforming, resulting in her getting scales all over her back and splits on her jaw where there should have been the mouth of a dragon. After this incident, Sol's mother ordered her to stop her trials and hide her mouth until marriage, declaring she would be "too hideous to look at" if she were to push it further.Sol is known to be fearless and thick-headed. She is uncomfortable with expressing feelings and finds herself containing her emotions all the time. Because she grew up in wealth and posesses dragon blood, she enjoys luxurious items such as jewelry and expensive gowns. She's constantly wearing a ruby necklace, a magical family heirloom passed down multiple generations supposedly acting as an enhancer for draconic powers.
Sol has grey tips on both her hands and ears, custody of the holy Paladin stating a decree that all creatures had to be recognizable when in human shape after the war. As dragons were considered traitors, they had to burn their tips to show they followed the rules.
She also possesses golden marks on her body. Previously burn wounds from past trainings, they got turned into gold when Sol made a pact with Reyl.

Eris

Before Eris, she was Sethe; Lucius's younger sister. Sethe was known for being ambitious and despised her brother's popularity and accomplishments. She was born in the body of a frail boy and never felt like she belonged. Always comparing herself to Lucius, she was in a constant state of silent rage and swore to herself that she would one day surpass him both in strength and success. Sethe trained fiercely to become a knight and had an unwavering desire for success, to be feared and respected by all. The village she grew up in had lots of wolves stories with missing children and livestock, so she made it her goal to erase the menace. She wanted to prove herself worthy.
She must have been 16 when, unaware of the threats lurking in the forest, she stubbornly went by herself into the darkest depths of the forest and wandered alone until night fell. Walking in silence, the only source of light was her fire. She felt observed and heard footsteps creeping around, but paid it no mind as she searched for any traces of wolves. She felt confident in her sword-fighting skills as she had trained all her life, and felt like this was just the first step to a long road of victories. She had no idea that lurking around was a force much bigger than herself, amused by the overconfident little knight walking alone.Sethe eventually faced a wolf, staring at her with bright white eyes, standing still in front of her. The wolf did not look scared whatsoever and slowly walked away, leaving Sethe dumbfounded and confused. She followed the wolf, thinking it might lure her into a lair with more wolves (and still felt like she could handle them all). She and the wolf walked, their footsteps barely audible, for a long while, and more joined along the way. There were around 10 wolves walking all around Sethe now, not looking once at her, all following the same path. Snow began to fall and soon enough, the ground was covered it in. It all felt surreal for Sethe, who felt oddly calm. At some point, the wolves stopped around 2 aligned trees, where a dark wall seemed to have been built in the middle. Sethe approached and quickly realized the wall was actually a mirror, in which she saw her reflection but with no forest behind her. Only her reflection was facing her now, the wolves gone, and she felt herself pulled closer to the mirror. She had a desire to touch the mirror, so she did. When her fingers touched the cold surface, it felt liquid, like thick water. She also felt warm inside, and her muscles tensed. Sethe was enthralled by the mirror and her reflection, she saw herself, but more. She was a bit taller, her arms bigger, her jaw sharper, and her dark brown hair now fully black. Her lips were also dark, and when she noticed them, they started moving. She saw and heard herself whisper a few words, now feeling her own lips moving ;Would you like to know power ?The voice came from inside her head, but Sethe wasn't fearful. She had heard of fairytales of deities choosing heroes and granting them powers, helping them bring justice and rise to godhood. She also knew about demons and horrific creatures, but her overconfidence had made her believe she could be nothing but a chosen one. She embraced it fully and nodded.I see your hate ... and sense your potential, would you like to see it as well ?Without the hint of doubt, Sethe nodded again. She had desired power more than anything else and gripped her sword. She had wanted to be strong all her life, and having this confrontation now only meant she was destined to be.Come forward,
Sethe did
Let me show you your true calling.In an instant, Sethe saw her hands grasping her reflection's hands, and she once more saw herself. But this time, her reflection smiled, and in the blink of an eye, she was now the one in the mirror. Her reflection stepped back, unclasping their hands, and breathed in the cold air of the night. The reflection let the fire Sethe had brought fall to the ground and die in the snow. Sethe felt a rising fear take place in her lungs as the night now fully enveloped the wolves and her reflection, leaving only bright white eyes shining. The reflection's eyes had a different sparkle from the others, milky white and fully reflecting the stars, divided in two crescent moons.The reflection creeped closer to the mirror, took a rock, and swinged her arms in the air,Now, witness your strength.She smashed the rock to the mirror and Sethe screamed until she was left in nothing but darkness. She felt a sharp pain, heard the splatter of blood and struggled to reopen her eyes. When she finally did, she realized it wasn't her hands that were hurt, but the reflection's from smashing the rock. Her eyes did not follow what she wished to see. She seemed like she was back in her body, but with a very slow sinking feeling, understood she had no control of herself anymore. Her body moved, and as Sethe witnessed, she felt distant, scared, but then free, and finally strong. Whatever had taken control of her was now merging body and mind with her, and Sethe only felt powerful. She started running. Her body felt massive as she felt herself running along the wolves with no trouble breathing and smashing trees on the way.
Sethe was no more than a voice in her own head, but still her body stood strong.

Reyl

Reyl is a child of the three divinities known as the Moirai.
He is a mysterious & magical being trapped in Sol's kingdom making "pacts" with creatures in need, somehow always present, all-seeing and all-hearing.
Reyl's intentions remain unknown and his appearance varies on who he might be talking to. Sol's version of Reyl consists of an angel-like figure with long red hair. Long pairs of wings can be seen following his shadow, and a red string is always attached around his body. He cuts it with each pact he does. He possesses powers such as flying, manipulating the mind (he can force an individual to look at him after locking eyes for 5 seconds and influence their emotions) and enhancing already existing aptitudes (ex; he will help Sol transform).
Reyl is androgynous and always seen as smiling. His calm temperament clashes with his actions ; he's manipulative and will always try to turn things his way. When "meeting" Sol for the first time, he will whispers promises of power to her and will only act once she accepts his conditions. He thinks fondly of her and sees her as a reflection of what he is ; a lost child, stolen from his family and forced to live in a false depiction of life. He also grows attached to her presence as one would with the subtle warmth of sun rays.
Eris however, Reyl dislikes and flees. He sees something wicked in her and urges Sol to not get too close to her. (which she obviously fails to do)
Around Lucius, Reyl seems more tense and treats him like a wild animal.Reyl is not invincible and can fear death, but acts like it can't reach him. He makes it known he wants to reach his family and gathers various forms of power to do so, but never explains how he intends to complete his quest.

Lucius

Lucius is a lone adventurer, living in a small cabin in the woods. He grew up in the countryside with his mom, who was a doctor, and his sister. He one day fell madly in love with a woman whom he had two kids with, and made sure they had everything they needed despite them only being farmers. He raised flocks of sheeps, accompanied by his sister and wife, and took care of the eldery. Lucius was a saint, loved by all and adored by children. Unfortunately, fate's tides turned and mysery struck his poor soul. His daughter, barely 8, fell deeply sick and began coughing blood whenever she ate. Worried and devoid of money, he let his wife and sister take care of the barn while he would search for herbs and potions that might help her. With the research of his passed mother, he gathered ingredients from the forest, venturing deeper than he had ever done so before, finding poisonous flowers and animal carcasses. He did question what his mother might have been looking for, but had no time to think and only wanted his daughter to get better. He eventually found all he needed to prepare a "rejuvenating" potion his mother had created with animal parts, and went to give it to his daughter. She took it before falling asleep, and didn't cough up blood.
That night was a full moon, and as Lucius was taking care of a wounded sheep that got attacked by wolves the night before, he realized the poor beast wasn't in a normal decaying state. Blood shimered black under the faint moonlight and it's beating heart was fast but steady, like it knew it's end was near and simply accepted it. Lucius reached for a knife to end the sheep's mysery, but realized too late the creature being snatched away by a quick shadow. Now alone in a silent barn, equipped with only a small knife, Lucius did not know what happened, nor remembered the details of what came next. In a blur, the shadow got up, not on four but two legs, and struck Lucius. He staggered and felt a crack as rows of teeth chewed his neck. He screamed and tried to push the creature away, to no avail. From a distance, Lucius heard his wife calling for his name, surely wondering about the ruccus they had made. In the blink of an eye, the shadow turned towards the barn's door and rushed through it. Before Lucius could react, he fell unconscious, his neck wide open.When the next morning came, Lucius felt like he had died. He tasted old blood on his lips and realized in horror that his whole body was drenched in a mix of sweat and blood, his veins pulsing hard and devoid of color. Terrified, he ran for his house to see if what attacked him might have reached his family, only to stop in front of the door, seeing more blood, smeared all over the entrance of his home.
He entered, slowly, and saw piles of corpses with unrecognizable features but instantly knew who they were from their size or the color of their hair. With dread rapidly sinking in, Lucius screamed in horror and cursed all gods he could think of. A noise startled him, and he turned to face the direction it came from. There, in the corner, laid his daughter, mouth covered red and eyes shining in the dark. She was panting hard and blinking rapidly.
He did not understand it at first. But after seeing her expression, he realized his daughter was no more. She screamed, making a sound so horrid he might have thought it was a banshee, and lept yet again at him. He braced himself, and with a force that was unknown to him, grabbed her by the neck and shoved her against the ground. Crying, all he could say was "I'm so sorry" before pressing down his fingers and sensing her pulse stop with horrid slowness. When her eyes stared at him in silence, he let go and fell to the ground next to her, weeping. Surrounded by his beloved ones, all he could feel was pure agony and disbelief. He wanted to join them, right there and then, and laid on the floor until he had no energy or drop of blood left.
Unfortunately for him, fate had other plans. His wounds somehow healed themselves as he fell asleep, and Reyl appeared in his mind to soothe his nightmares while promising him a way to avenge his family. Lucius knew, deep down, that what happened was all his fault, but could'nt let go of the rage seeping in his blood and listened, in silence, to Reyl's words.

Weiss

[WORK IN PROGRESS] In a world full of myths and legends, Weiss is a creature inspired by a retelling of the Snow white story where she would be both the maiden and the poisoned apple. She's best known as the "snow creature from the woods", who lures innocent and lost minds into her lair to devour them by seducing them from afar. Her skin is as white as snow, her eyes pure black and devoid of life. From a distance, she looks like an elf, but up close, you realize she actually doesn't have ears but small moth wings. She also doesn't seem to breathe.
Weiss has an alternative form to "eat", where she takes the form of an enormous ghoul with wings and claws.
