It had been with a heavy heart she gave herself unto him, to the very King of Demons who wished to destroy her nation. But it was either give herself unto him, or let him ravage her lands. And with it, the one man to whom her heart solely belonged. She would give up everything for him, for Jun'tao, to keep him and her kingdom safe...

And so that is what she had become. To selflessly surrender herself to the King of the Heartless, to willingly give to him her heart. Though the feat itself had not been witnessed before her people, as King Arkh'an swept away with her, on the back of his chariot and escorted by a caravan of shadowed men, she found herself ontop of a steep, glass cliff side when she awoke many a days later- her heart still beating inside her chest as she rose from a glass bed and looked out over the world.

So far away was her own land that she had no idea where she was. But over head the sky stretched on endlessly in a glittering sea of silk black and powdered over in a dusting of stars. But below, she could see down int a world that reflected the stars in a glass land scape that stretched on for miles. But as she took a step back, she gasped to see a massive gaping hole in the glass land and she scrambled to take a few steps away from it when she heard a voice from behind her. She whirled around.

"King Arkh'an."

Her gaze hardened on his as she held a fist to her chest. "Where have you taken me?" For he said he would have her heart, but would take it within his own kingdom. She was confused why he waited, for in her kingdom, she had watched him do the dreadful deed right in front of her on the battle field. He'd slip his hand in behind the rib cage of a foe and bury it in deep within their body before yanking their heart clean out on a blood soaked hand while it still pumped freely wthin his hand. She could see it all- See the veins, see the last pulsating throbs of life, see the faint glitter of hope and pride dwindle away into his grasp as he devoured it whole, fresh hot blood staining his teeth and lips.

She feared what that would feel like, and what would become of her without her heart. But the only fear was evident in the faint sparkling of her green eyes. This was her fate. And at her word, she would give him her heart willingly if he asked. It wouldn't be hard.

All she had to do was think of Jun'tao.
And her people.
And know that through her sacrifice, they would be saved.

In their desperate struggle, they'd offered up their Princess to him. A feeble attempt at fending off the mass of shadows which he commanded, but an interesting choice nonetheless. Their battered gates stood firm, but barely. Outside of their crumbling walls had stretched a sea of black, his legions upon legions of shadowy Heartless. They had stood by silently, unmoving, as the gates slowly opened to allow their purehearted Princess to be forever consumed by the Shadow King. The Heartless could sense the purity of her heart. The King could too. In utter silence, he'd taken her up onto her chariot and ridden away.

Now, on the precipice of the cavernous hole that seemed to stretch for an eternity down under the glass of Seraj Isa, she stood in awe. The skies twinkled above against a dark sky, a soft curved moon peeking out from behind heavy clouds. It was a foreboding sign: though the beautiful night cosmos shone down upon them, soon the area would be drenched in a downpour.

The King's voice was otherworldly as it sounded behind her, causing the Princess to whirl around and face him. What she saw was black: not the dark gray of the distant clouds, but pure black, as though all the light had been sucked away just several paces in front of her. But slowly the darkness seemed to coalesce into a discernible smoky shape that looked almost humanoid. Two piercing red eyes seemingly opened within the darkness, and out of the shadow came a towering man, skin of ash, hair whiter than the blinding light of the sun.

He stood there staring down at her with those glowing red orbs now, unmoving as he sensed her heart beating faster and faster in his presence. Something in him began to stir, a human emotion perhaps, something that must have been a craving. Yes, that was it. He craved her heart, wanted nothing more than to spin her around, shove his shadowy tendrils of a hand into her back and extract that bloody purity in all its beating glory, to consume and replenish himself. He could almost taste the blood on his lips.

And yet he couldn't.

She reminded him of her.

Her.

The first of them, and the purest. She had given her heart to him, and if he had a heart somewhere in the black pit of his restlessness he might have given it back to her. But she was hidden away now, a dying presence somewhere in this sea of glass. Her heart had been corrupted by his touch. He should have consumed it then and there, but he could not go through with it. And now he sought a replacement.

"Take one last look at your world, girl," came the voice of Ark'han, deep and rumbling, light and nasal, everything in between. It was a voice as layered and as fluid as the shadows themselves. His form seemed to dance in and out of focus in front of her as he gestured to the enormous hole before them.

"Take one last look before you enter my kingdom. Forever."

OOC: Forever!

The princess set her eyes angrily upon King Arkh'an. She was hardly fearful of his ability to drift and become one with the shadows, but her skin still rippled over the chilling sensation of it. At his words, she turned away to peer over at the setting sun. It cast the world in a rosied light, that danced beautifully across the reflective glass surface of the Seraj Isa. Had it been any other time, she might have been able to enjoy the beauty of the world here, but as it were- she had only one thing in mind.

Keeping her shoulders back and her chin held up proudly, she turned to him with a nod.
"I am ready."
There was no sense in stalling the inevitable.

The King's eyes flashed a bloody red, as if behind the glaze of those orbs lay unending pits. Her glare was not lost upon him, but as she turned to give her world one last wistful look, a memory struck him from deep inside.

His true love had done almost the exact same thing, in almost the exact same spot, all those years ago. She'd turned to regard the glass desert with her large sad eyes, as if silently whispering goodbye to everything she knew. She'd known that, whatever her fate, she would never see her people again. And she was right, for as soon as he took her heart, the Heartless had overrun her country and decimated her nation.

Except he hadn't taken her heart, had he? No, she had given it to him willingly. And that, more than anything else, burned him.

"A world of dust," the King said as the princess finally turned back to face him, face her fate. A hand reached out to caress at her cheek, with almost chilling tenderness. And then those long fingers closed around her shoulder and a blanket of shadow completely enveloped them. The roaring blackness was accentuated by a feeling of rapid freefall as though the yawning chasm was sucking them through an endless tunnel. It lasted an eternity.

And then abruptly stopped.

The shadows lifted from them, and they stood before the massive gates of an ancient underground temple complex.

"Welcome to my world."

Despite the fear inside her, despite the unknown, Jai'un did not close her eyes as she was touched, caressed and then whisked away. The shadows moved around her, sending a chilling thrill through her body. Was she falling? Was she flying? Was she dying?

But no, she still at the present, had her heart, as she felt it beat rapidly within her chest, and when she hadn't realized she had closed her eyes, she opened them and peered down at a world of darkness all around her. It was nearly impossible to see a thing as she whispered,
"I can't see a thing. All I can see is the darkness."

But somehow, she was not surprised.

OOC: I figure it'd take her a while for her eyes to adjust (maybe there's torch lights? or something but yeah XD )
@_@ things! I dunno *Flails*

"This is no world of light," the King's voice emanated in the darkness, almost irritated. It was no surprise she couldn't see a thing. After all, they were many leagues beneath the Seraj Isa, where only darkness prevailed. This was his world, not that petty world of the living up there, so reliant and fire and light.

But her eyes were not the same as his own reddish pits, and to a human it was sheer blackness. With a snap of his fingers, dormant torches spontaneously lit in their sconces, a pale blue light casting flickering shadows across the gates into his kingdom. And they must have been as impressive in the light as they were in the dark. Stretching dozens of feet up before them, it could have been a walled gate in the greatest human cities on the surface. The wall face was flat and sheer, with no adorning marks upon them, and perfectly black. The gates had a little more texture to them, wrought with iron and locked shut.

With another wave of his hand, the massive entrance suddenly opened for them, revealing more blackness within. From it a shadowy chariot materialized and rolled out toward them, its burnished gold frame the only other source of color (aside from the blue flames) down here. The wavering steeds pulled it up to Ark'han and halted.

The King gestured up onto the platform and all but commanded the princess. "On."

Jai'un was taken back when the chariot approached, coming from no where- or more appropriately, from dark, seeded magics. Her gaze narrowed upon it, but she knew she hadn't a choice, and with her head held high, she took a step forward, then onto the beautiful chariot writhing with shadows and gold.

Turning around, she faced the King to see if he would join her, all the while feeling the weight of the worlds upon her- and the weight of the darkness to her back.

When the King stepped onto the burnished chariot's platform, his wavering form seemed to meld in and out with the shadows of the vehicle. He grabbed no reins no issued any command, but the moment he was on board the two shadow horses began their purposeful trot through the black gates.

The blue flames flickering from the sconces seemed to leap out from their stationary placeholders to follow the chariot, basking it in its soft blue light and creating a bubble of visibility around them. As the chariot rode through the wide ancient corridors of the Shadow Temple, the light illuminated passing structures. They seemed to be abandoned in their infinite age, though upon closer inspection it was clear that the black forms of the Heartless were EVERYWHERE.

And as the chariot passed, they all stopped and turned their red eyes to regard this captured human princess.

visualspice

Though Jai'un was trying to remain strong and appear unafraid, the moment she regarded just how many of those heartless creatures were around her made her gape and release a soft breath. And instincts had her drawing closer to the King, though she had not meant to- considering she should have known better that such a man would not protect her- and for all she knew, he was going to have these creatures tear her apart.

But it was what it was, and the shadows were alive and that very thought made her skin crawl as the chariot rolled onward, and unformed creatures of all sizes turned to regard her- hungry, angry, ready.

The chariot rolled along for what seemed like forever, along the wide and high corridor leading deeper and deeper into the temple complex. The dozens upon dozens of formless red eyes regarded the King and his human catch silently, though none of them approached the shadowy chariot. They could sense their King's seething anger and twisted hunger.

The soft blue light continued to follow the chariot, and cast another strange shadow of the vehicle along the stone pathway beneath them as it rolled along silently. They passed under an arch, then another arch, and down another long stretch of obsidian-walled halls, before finally emerging in a room.

And this 'room', if you could call it that, was massive. It was as if they stood at the very edge of an underground canyon that stretched well into the darkness beyond. The blue light lifted over them and suddenly cast its light across the entirety of the Heartless temple's inner sanctum. It might as well have been a lost underground city, the sheer size of it.

visualspice

Jai'un was mesmerized by what she saw. Not only was this kingdom vast, but it was evident by what was revealed they had taken homage and thrived in some unknown ruins that sparkled in the silent under belly of the desert made of glass. Such a thing was intriguing, and were it some other life, perhaps she'd enjoy exploring such a treasure- but she knew why she was brought here,a nd her eyes slipped from the massive temple walls and valted ceilings, as her gaze returned to the King.


"So will it be here?" she asked, her voice echoing inside this massive chamber. "Where you will take my heart?"

"Where I want," came the cold, almost lifeless reply as the chariot lurched back into motion, down a long narrow ramp toward the underground city and the massive black temple in its center. His red eyes never once looked to her, always remaining straight ahead to their destination. It was distant at first, but slowly the temple grew larger and larger as they neared.

Silent for a moment, the King suddenly continued in that low grating voice of his.

"A pure heart requires a more delicate touch."

visualspice

"Yes, but what of a heart that does not truly belong to you?" she inquired, the voice soft, but firm as she too, kept her eyes averted of his as she stared at the temple as the pair grew closer, chariot rumbling beneath them.

If any emotion finally showed from the shadowy king, now was the time. He practically whirled on her and stared down at her with those blazing red eyes of his. For a moment, his humanoid form seemed to wither away into formless shadows, even as that deep voice countered her assertion.

"Your heart is mine. Every heart I take is mine."

A silence descended after that outburst of wrath, broken only by the soft sounds of the shadowy chariot's wheels against the stone road as it approached the looming temple.

And despite his assertion otherwise, the King knew the truth of it. Only one heart had ever truly belonged to him. It drove him mad to think of her.

"The possession is not the same thing. Though I'll give my physical heart to you, it will forever remain with the man I love. And my people." Even though the man she loved could not and would not reveal to her how he actually felt, for she had foolishly fallen for a General- and who was a princess to marry a man that was not royal? It was inconceivable, but even now- she had no doubts on how she felt, and no regrets, except she had never gotten a chance to truly love him. So when the man turned into a swath of shadows, it did little to deter her constitution as she kept her chin proudly raised and her green eyes glaring.

"He will have no need with it once I take it," the cold King retorted. They'd finally reached the temple, and like everything else about this macabre underground city it was beautiful and grotesque. The walls might as well have been made of obsidian, the blackness and smoothness of them. The tall wide gates swung silently open for them. Here, the soft blue light stopped. Beyond the threshold was only pitch black.

"It matters not. He will be dead by the time I have finished with you," he said ominously before they were swallowed up by the blackness.

Jai'un gasped at the realization...
"But you promised to cease your attacks!"

You can read more about the event on the plotting page here and information page here!

I ran the Connlaothian civil war. For more info, check out it's page here. The war has now turned into a 'Cold War' with it's plotting page found here. It's no longer a huge site wide event but the scars are there.

"Yes I did," the King's voice replied in the darkness. That was all the King said, as he let the silence pervade her ears and distress her with whatever thoughts she might've had at the moment. Time and time again the Heartless had done this: promise mercy in exchange for a sacrifice, and then coldly turn upon the poor souls that believed a reprieve was coming. Ark'han felt no remorse, no pity for the humans. The shadows had to be fed.

Of course, he'd made that same deal with the very first princess whose heart had been freely given to him. And somehow in the course of taking her heart, he had contracted some deadly disease from these humans.

Empathy.

With an almost guttural snarl, he shook his shadowy head clear of that aggravating thought and directed the chariot to slow to a halt. They stopped upon a raised dais in the middle of the Heartless Temple, where he'd taken countless hearts before. Slowly, the rest of the empty room began to fill with shadows and red eyes, as his minions drew near to watch this princess's heart be consumed by their king.

"What?" she said, staring at the shadowed figure in disbelief. And that disbelief soon turned to rage. Furrowing her brow and tightening her jaw, she glared at the man and the second he halted the chariot, she stepped clean off of it without so much as a word and began to storm back through the darkness from whence she came, ignoring all the twinkling red eyes that watched her from the dark.

The Heartless formed a small circle of space around her as she stormed away in the darkness of the temple complex. They didn't hinder her in anyway, though by the time she came across the high doors of the temple her path was blocked by a line of these wavering shadows. From far behind her, up on the dais, the King's layered voice boomed over her.

"If you think to turn back on your deal now... then we'll just have to take another's heart first while we wait."

And at that, the doors cracked open slightly to allow another figure to be physically dragged in by two Heartless that looked more human than shadow. It was a woman, clad in the armor of her people, but bloodied and barely standing, that same armor cracked and pierced a hundred times. The Heartless dragged the girl right up to Jai'un so that she might look upon this citizen of her kingdom.

The severely injured girl looked up and, in a moment of recognition, whispered in awe, "Highness..."

She could say no more as they began to drag her toward the raised dais. Suddenly, all around them the previously silent shadows began rumbling in gibbering excitement, eager to see a human heart taken.
