The story of Oriana Borealis begins with the Great War. For when the fire bombs raided the roof of her castle, she was just a child who only knew how to goo-goo ga-ga her way through life.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7Wd25GbFr
Protestors surrounded the once peaceful walls of the castle, rioting for selfish means. As flames rained down, the cold of the night scorched with evil intentions. Commonfolk abuzz with weapons and uneducated opinions raided the castle walls.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6v5nBU9oMg
Traitors rode the wave of rebellion and the castle was sieged. The King held hands with his Queen, one last time, and cried a betrayed cry as poison raced through their veins. They denied a shameful death and passed on their own terms, hand in hand.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡht6X7vRvM7
Wrapped in the secure arms of responsible adults, her mother's lady-in-waiting and her brother's knight, Oriana Borealis was transported through the dungeons, hidden away from the preying eyes of those who wanted the bloodline dead.

Sides were switched, the throne was overtaken and a cheer of triumph echoed the welcome of Aurum(s) and the rise of Nobelai.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdVGj5KZ80
The Great War divided the masses as they believed what the Oracle had commanded:
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31uyzuivp8
“God, in fashioning those of you who are fitted to hold rule, mingled Gold in their blood, for which reason they are the most precious and called them Aurum — but in the Nobels, the helpers of the fittest, he poured Silver and called them Argenti, and Brass in the brave Warriors who are called Aeris, and Iron in the Workers known as Durus. Doing so, he birthed the magical empire of Nobelai for us.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxWgf3F4gv
Following the Oracle, Empress Lirien Madgira Enfield ordered an empirewide Crysomancy to take place, for determining the blood of Nobelai's inhabitants. To segregate the society and rule it with an iron fist.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxo27laUPG
Royal Knights forced families apart, relocating members into different households in accordance to their blood. Creating new families as they preferred.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1jMp6CD6k
The Aurums were readily taken away with smiles and killed off in privacy for the Empress did not require anymore competition.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFmExmR7NG
The Argentis were adopted by wealthier Nobels who lost their children to passionate murders, diseases or neglect.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXO1awqILB
The Aeris were shoved into immediate work — for it was in their blood and they lived in times that always required more to kill — set up to put down revolts or relocating innocents.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9cQfJ5Yqu
The Durus were settled into huts, on the outskirts of nations, ostracised from the 'better ones' and left to shoulder all the work. Amongst many a worn-out Durus, there was a farming lass called Genny who lived an honest life out of labour whilst feeding her only son.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJTyBbd3mb
A son who was abandoned by his father, partly out of his lust for a younger woman, partly due to the fact that he was an Aeris.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZurpY0DJLl
Her son, a five-year-old, whose veins pumped silver blood, unlike the Iron of his mother or the Brass of his father.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWs0nueqa0
Upon the field of carrots, in front of his hut, his little wrists were bound with ribbons and he was dragged away to be adopted by the childless Duke of Evermire. His mother trashed her arms in protest, cried till she bled the paleness within, and screamed in a world where no would listen.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIQ9TPYKhE
She begged the God, for if he was mighty enough to send out his word as the Oracle, he would surely disagree this seperation. A little boy, to be forever uprooted from his family just because the colour of their blood did not match—!!
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87KuPDJH93
As if emotions and relations did not exist beyond blood!
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1g3ozUi0jL
"If this be destiny, I spit on it!!" Genny raged on her doorstep as the sky raged on above, pouring generously to cover her misery and distribute it to all being beaten over by the drops.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnC84guCVI
"SILENCE PEASANT WOMAN! YOUR SON SHALL SEE BETTER DAYS IN THE PRESENCE OF OUR GRACE!" A Knight shouted, pulling out his sword and pressing it against her dark neck. His eyes pooled with darkness, a window to his soul.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFNcmRUjud
Genny felt the vehement loyalty he possessed when the sharp edge dug deeper into her skin. It stung enough to make her toes curl and breath hitch. Her shallow breath misted the blade, momentarily.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcYLw6Aoj5
"And what of me? Am I not to be with one of my own? Just because some God or some damned Empress said—
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQYMDYOYWO
She could never complete her words for the sword was swung at her. It slid past her throat, and off went her head, rolling into the carrot fields, away from her body, bleeding paleness.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CVsLxyfsK
"On spite against Nobelai. On blasphemy. Good rolled her head off; it was too up in the clouds, eh?" The Knight hunched his shoulders and chuckled with his mates. His fellows shared the mirth of her miserable death.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tttFNHi6d
Another down in the name of loyalty and religion.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnpCsGhBWg
As her body fell to the ground, the Knight rose his sword to the skies. "IN THE NAME OF NOBELAI!!" He shouted a cry, followed with 'Hoo-Haa's of praise and confidence. All Knight raised their swords to the sky, clanking metal against metal, overpowering the sound of rain.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OeVaDhdIk
Winning against nature.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9zC3OtGWR
In the make-belief happy world of the whimsical Empress, all was well for the next twenty-one years.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCTR6IcCn5
Seperated families found attachment with those whom they were paired with. Illiteracy ran rampant, history of the massacres were forgotten (erased) and risen was a new generation that praised the nobel hierarchical structure and their generous Empress who let all folks fullfill their destiny.

"Dandelion into the wind you go,
won't you let my darling know?"
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDF0GRCjkJv
The fluttering dandelion swayed with the spring wind; caught in its embrace, they danced into the air, spinning and twirling with eachother as they soared higher and higher.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROHLfiQdEh
Carefree and effortless, the wind and the flower were joyful and weightless. Waltzing into the sky, becoming one with swirling wind, the dandelion sneaked through his open window and the wind guided it to him.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHI24DDT7BQ
The flower rested a soft kiss upon his unexpectant lips and Sirius could only widen his eyes in response. Quite comically surprised, he looked up only to find a cold gust of wind and nothingness. The flower landed over his papers.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRYKpCFgTr
"Is there something you need, Your Grace?"
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvXAwpMvT6
Sirius could only shake his head, fingers feeling the lingering sensation as if hoping it would have lasted forever. Its suddenness had his heart aflutter and mind twisted in a delema of what-struck-him.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8E4F8GndFZ
"No, I just felt like something very cheesy happened to me..."

— 'I think that you are the one for me.'
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OVIa1xQnL
His hand upon the small of her waist and other intertwined with her delicate fingers. A suffocating proximity between them, fuelled by their reckless eye-contact. His curious and defined, hers unsure and wandering. They met at a midpoint.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenn4Zx7yny
Their feet moved with the beat.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjHfi3w88e
His, an elegant sway, and her, on his toes.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQCrec0JRC
He wanted her to look at him. All of him.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgimcCZ6dT
He wanted to see her, delve into the ocean of her blue eyes and know her. All of her.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiMv8VcLak
— 'Cause it gets so hard to breathe'
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVePTTqx3S
When he twirled her into the arms of another, when she spun back into his. Chests pressing, closer together, breathless and better together. No one fit as perfectly as they did, in eachother's arms, or her on his toes.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpLWfBU83W
Her embarassed gummy smiles.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqU13Gr8va
Made his heart race a mile a minute.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA557zkGyzi
—'When you're looking at me,
I've never felt so alive and free...'
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzCEtt7gd7
Her neck emanated warmth. Her scent surrounded him, all of him, it stayed with him all night. His selfish eyes caught themselves sneaking glances at her, innocently following her steps and laughing with her.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZwYgiWjdc
Every inch of distance between them felt overbearing.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwvg9eRrNT
Why could she not be right beside him? In a place where she was meant to be?
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSi1mp2Cqk
His persistent feet found themselves walking towards her. Without his consent, his arm wrapped around her waist. Her playful eyes and comfortable smile peaked joy in his heart.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaoIQlYVQ0
— 'When you're looking at me, I've never felt so happy.'
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoicvmP8De
When did she become so stunning?
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AJJW3QlFm
When did she start looking so pretty?
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYKvJSZ7Bb
Right over the weekend Sirius would have been fine even if she would have waltzed inside naked and took a seat in his lap. He would have been a modest gentleman who would cover his eyes and remain patient.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpT1KdUcoSm
Though now, even her modest attire made his chest tighten like a blithering fool. The glamorous white dress would make him do a double take. Heck, Sirius was certainly sure she would look ethereal even in a cloth rag.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJgQUEABbW
Or her knitted dresses with those ugly flowers which she liked so much.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxKlj76G0K
Sirius was sure if he saw her smile in one of those, he would be down, bad and under in a heartbeat.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvi9hgBxlgx
— 'And I've heard of a love that comes once in a lifetime...'
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBYIK4SMYW
The crippling sense of realisation floated in his mind when she drew a sword at him. The blade against his neck felt like a happy mirage in the making. Her defined eyes when she swayed a sword, her dainty wrists bearing the weight of a bejeweled hilt, cutting through the air, leaving the crowd in fear and awe.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ711UtKSUx
Then, a trickling feeling of jealousy oozed into his waters of realisation.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzMAftNCJP
He wanted to be the only one in awe with her, for the rest of his life.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoNStXFQ5F
He wanted to be the only one to see her smile, for the rest of her life.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCB5d9PiWXG
But, their relationship was established on mere contractual grounds and Sirius would dig a hole in that ground, name it his heart, and keep this a secret forever.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIajOPqCNFn
That he had known a girl with a beautiful smile, a pure heart and ambitious eyes. That he had loved a girl who was bad at spellings but knew all the words. That she dreamt to be the one thing he detested the most. That he loved her, nevertheless.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSx1xO5F4Ta
His waters of realisation would be enclosed inside a well of secret and Sirius would make sure no one would ever know what the dandelion did to him; and who he really wished the dandelion was.

' ...I'm pretty sure that
