New Arrivals (All new characters)

You're falling, and you can't remember why. It's a sickening feeling that makes your insides lurch; the darkness and the vertigo combine, and all you can think of is a story you heard once, somewhere.

Ah, I remember now. It's... a simple story that everyone knows. A legend of a Princess, the Demon Lord who kidnapped her, and the Knight who fought to save her. The Demon Lord had kidnapped the Princess countless times, but every time the Knight bested his challenges and rescued the Princess. No matter what tricks and ploys the Demon Lord used, the Knight would always triumph in the end. This was because--

The world tilts on its axis one last time, and the dream slips from your mind as easily as it arrived. A new voice intrudes on your sleep. Mechanical, monotonous.

"Next stop: Rakuen City. This train terminates here. The next stop is Rakuen. All change." The train rocks steadily. The sun shines through the window cheerfully and if you look out the window you will see the first of flowers beginning to grow in the grass. Steam drifts past the window, it is warm. A mixture of sunlight and the heating of the seats, it adds to the dreamlike atmosphere.

It's strangely difficult to shake off the sleep; the rhythm of the train seems to lull you back into slumber and the air is warm and heavy, making it hard to keep hold of a thought. Finally, though, the nausea settles, the last of the dream fades and you can take in your surroundings. And, perhaps more importantly, those around you in a similar state. The train judders to a stop, through the rain lined windows there is a building and people gathered on the platform.

"We have arrived at Rakuen City. All passengers must leave the train. This train is terminating here. This is Rakuen."

She's totally under a spell. That's good, it means she won't attack him. But also bad, there's a sorcerer around! But he'll get to that later, for now he'll try and sooth the upset maiden in front of him.

"Do you know where we are? If so I can escort you to your home."

She shook her head. "No and it doesn't matter anyway! People will just talk me into some pointless battle again! Woof!"

He frowns, "who would force a lady into battle? If we can escape here I can promise you peace in Camelot if you so wish," also if you stop being a sprite, whatever.

"I don't want that! I want to go home." And she sobbed even harder.

Okay, that was obviously the wrong thing to say. And now she is crying harder. Where is Gwen when you nee- oh right, he exiled her for cheating in him with Lancelot, never mind that then!

"My Lady, I promise to return you to your home."

Please stop crying.
