“Success comes with a sacrifice" Royalty, kings and queens, princes and princesses, a line of rulers in a family line. They have been looked up to for centuries. Commoners all over the world share a wish to have the perfect life of a royal. Getting waited on hand and foot, being taught with the highest quality and giving commands to meet your every desire are just a few of the perks normal people have to live without. Every royal family around the world has something in common; they all sacrificed something in order to keep power. You are born into royalty, but you must earn your place. Over the years, royals die in a seemingly ordered fashion, and every time, they get more and more bizarre. The first deaths would be in battle, next, royals would fall victim to town robberies when they went out to the store. Soon enough, the incidents became so strange, even the peasants knew something was wrong. The Royals have made a deal with a magical being; every first born of the third generation throughout the years has been cursed with something increasingly deadly as the time goes on. None have survived past the age of twenty-one. You are one of the cursed. Your mission is to band together with the other cursed royals and find the magical being and either bargain for your life, losing your families power in your district, or destroy the being completely to assure no one in the future has to stand vulnerable against the evil magic of the world. The fight may seem worthless, but the cursed know something others don't; the laws of magic are fair, so when they were given a curse, were also giving an elemental power of equal power. Can you handle the obscurities you will find on your journey, or will you fall when confronted by death itself? This storybook is run by ItalianIlluminist and enjoyinginsanity. I will email information to the evil being when we choose who should play the part. Rules: • No Godmodding. • Listen to both enjoyinginsanity and Italianilluminist. • You must send your profiles to be approved by BOTH of us. • Make posts reasonable. • Normal YWS rules. • This storybook is made to challenge you, don’t make it easy on yourself (ex: Having a curse that isn’t difficult to live with.) • If you cannot post for a while, please tell both of us. • Try to keep the ratio even. • Do not kill without permission from both enjoyinginsanity and Italianilluminist. • Any problems don’t be afraid to ask! • If you’re making an off topic post before the DT is created, put it in a spoiler. Character Profiles: Name: Age: (Old enough to realize the risk, but younger than 21.) Gender: Curse: Elemental power:(This power isn't controlling the entire element, it only ranges depending on the intensity of your curse.) Appearance: Personality: (Include strengths and weaknesses) Family history: How are you planning to handle the being? : ( ex: talking your way out, or fighting etc.) Theme song: (optional) Up for love? : Other:

So when we starting?

An angel, a knight, a man who will bring light to where there is only darkness, I am the Morning Star, the Bringer of Light, hail to me as I am King Lucifer!

Formerly: Avalon

“Can a magician kill a man by magic?” Lord Wellington asked Strange. Strange frowned. He seemed to dislike the question. “I suppose a magician might,” he admitted, “but a gentleman never could.”
