Wings of Nobility

[Natalia]

(ooc: Bah. Crappy title is crappy. XP Anyway, the date is July 2. An introduction thread for Natalia to join the fairies. Open to all fairies.)

The flight from Baticul had been long and arduous, but somehow Natalia had succeeded in making her way from her home and to the unknown land before her. She had landed some time ago and was giving her wings a rest, something she had never thought she would even have considered before, as she began to make her way through the forest. Green eyes were full of curiosity and wonder. Never before had the Princess seen a land like the one she had stumbled upon as a result of exhausted wings. It was so beautiful and untamed, and yet had a touch of tameness to it that made it feel habitable. It was nothing like Baticul, that much was certain. The curious Princess had yet to even see any signs of life as she made her way onward.

As she walked, Natalia adjusted the positioning of her quiver and let her wings flap just a little with each new placement. It had been an awkward thing, carrying her quiver full of arrows with her new wings to worry about, but somehow she had succeeded in achieving her goal. As more time passed, though, Natalia found her legs starting to give in to exhaustion of their own. It had been a long time coming and while she did have stamina to spare she supposed the flight had drained her more than she would have liked. At length, Natalia found herself removing her quiver from her back and setting it down near a rock as she sat down to rest.

"My... I didn't expect to have worn myself out this quickly." Natalia murmured. Now that she was resting, though, it gave the Princess the opportunity to take another look around the forest. It was so peaceful that she was beginning to have doubts about whether or not anyone else would be there at all. Somewhere in the back of her mind, though, was the suspicion that perhaps she was not alone. Even with that, though, Natalia didn't speak again. She wanted to see if something, or someone, really would come out to greet her.

[dawn]

"Hello, you must be new." Dawn approached the newcomer with a warm smile. "Welcome to the Fairy Forest." This newcomer was very pretty and looked tired. "Have you traveled far to get here?" blue eyes widened. "Oh, I'm sorry I'm Dawn."

[Natalia]

Natalia was, admittedly, a little surprised that someone had come so quickly. She seemed to be the same as this other girl in that they both possessed wings. At least she wasn't all alone in that aspect. It was something the Princess was quite thankful for. At length, she offered a tired sort of smile and a little nod. "Yes, it was quite a long trip. I did not think it would take quite so long when I first left. I suppose the night may have influenced that fact." Natalia replied. She had thought that with the cover of night the journey would be less difficult. There wouldn't be as much heat to worry about and she had been less easily noticed against the dark sky. Even still, she had succeeded in wearing herself out with her new wings.

The introduction had seemed a little rushed, but Natalia didn't mind it. Outside of Baticul, she supposed it was only natural that formalities would be tossed aside. She didn't quite want to let go of her formal way of speaking, though. "It is nice to meet you, Dawn. I am..." Natalia hesitated. Outside her Kingdom, she supposed her title as Princess wouldn't matter much. Should she cast it aside so easily, though? She wondered.

It probably won't make much difference. Even if you did use your formal name, you are no longer in Baticul. Being a Princess won't matter if you aren't even in your own Kingdom.

"...Natalia. I am Natalia." she finally finished.

[dawn]

Dawn smiled brightly. "It is very nice to meet you Natalia." the blue haired fairy said taking a seat beside her. "I haven't seen your face around town before so that means you must be new right?" the idea of having another fairy around would make Musa very happy. It made them all feel a bit better actually. "Well, welcome to Fairy Meadow."

[Natalia]

Once again, Natalia nodded. "Indeed. I only just arrived here today. I would have liked to get farther into this forest than I did, but I do not think I could walk much farther even if I were asked to do so." Natalia laughed. It was rather funny, really. She had given Luke and Guy a run for their money time and time again when she used to play with them, but now she was sitting there on a rock completely worn out from flying. "And thank you, for your kind welcome. I didn't quite know what to expect when I came here, so I must admit I am pleased to know there are kind people here." Natalia said.

"Are... we the only ones, though? Or are there others that I simply have not met yet?" she asked. It would be odd if she and Dawn were the only ones there. There had to be others. She was sure of it.

[dawn]

The fairy smiled before nodding. "Oh there are plenty more here. Lady Musa is normally out training with the others or getting into her music. You'll meet her soon I'm sure, there's also Kimiko who spends most of the time training. Trying to control her fire powers. Vidia and Bloom are around too. Though i am not sure where they are."

Dawn shook her head with a bigger smile. "You'll get used to big welcomes from our kind. We are relatively nice people, but we try to stay away from demons as much as possible."

[Natalia]

"Our kind?" Natalia repeated. What did that mean? Had something more than just her appearance changed when she had gained her wings? Natalia had to wonder about that. "What exactly do you mean by 'our kind'? What... are we, exactly?" Natalia asked. She wasn't entirely uncomfortable with the idea of being something else, especially since she still appeared human, but the curious Princess wanted to know just what had happened to her. All she knew for certain was that she had passed out and when she had woken up from that she had her wings. Her beautiful blue, near transparent, butterfly-like wings.

What's happened to you, Natalia? What have you just become a part of?
