Name: Casarial
Age: 20
Species: Dragon
Bio: Casarial growing up was a very shy and lonely girl because when she was a child she saw her father, or who she thought as her father, slain by prince James. Ever since then she has lived off of the streets and stole to get by. She was corned by a group of boys in an alley and she was holding a loaf of bread close to her body. They had her cornered when the dark one Rumpelstiltskin showed up and turned them into rats. He leaned down and helped her up.
"Are you alright there dearie?" She looked at him cautiously and yet was very scared of him. She stood up and he smiles.
"Go on home to your parents dearie." This caused her eyes to fill with tears.
"Whats wrong dearie?" She never looks at him.
"I-I don't have a home a go to.." She said and he takes her hand.
"Then you shall come and live with me." He said with his signature grin.
"But there is a price." This took her by surprise.
"Name it." She said and then he giggles.
"You must cook for me and clean my estate." She nods and looks at him.
"Deal." She said and he pulled a contract and a quill.
"Sign the dotted line my dear." She does quickly and in an instant they are at his estate and he notices she is still clutching the loaf of bread.

"Oh you can put that down dearie, it's probably moldy." He said, his crooked smile danced across his face as he snapped and a magnificent feast was splayed across the table. He sat on a clear spot and picked up a drumstick taking a bite, "So what's your story? Cursed? On the run from a dangerous individual? Or running to find someone to kill?" Rumpelstiltskin cackled.


Hook looked into his spyglass, "Prepare to land lads, we're here." He smirked as he closed his spyglass, swinging down from the crow's nest to return to the wheel. "Who's up for a round of ale?"
His men roared with approval and he turned to the approaching land where their usual tavern awaited. With divine little wenches waiting to be plucked up and propped on his lap to feed him his meal. THe wind blowing in his dark hair and his eyes glimmering with mischief.


Amara danced around singing happily. "Rem! Dinnertime!"
Remington flew in and shifted into a sitting position in his chair. "Must you call so loud?"
"If I didn't you would go looking for some carcass to feed from."
His eyes narrowed, "That's very stereotypical of you."
Amara giggled, "I know, but that's why you love me right?"
He looked at her with his usual grim expression, "I don't love you."
She sighed with acute irritation, and cocked her head, "It's a figure of-, oh nevermind. I made you favorite. Venison with a side of potatoes."
"I know, keen sense of smell remember?"
She rolled her eyes, "Must you ruin the fun?" Amara answered setting up the meal and sat down to eat.

She looked at the spread across the table. She sat a few seats away from him. "I'm a monster that people hunt and use our heads as trophies." She said looking at some of the food and she cautiously took a bite to see if it was poisoned. She still didn't trust him. "i watched the prince kill my father.." She growled as smoke puffed from her nose and she soon went silent.

A ways away on a small island close to the main land a woman stands on a cliff hair flowing in the in the soft breeze voice ringing out into the clear sky as if it were that of a goddess, calling forth all brave seafaring men and luring them to her, so that she may push them off the cliff

Rumpelstiltskin smirked, "Don't be frightened, it's only me." He chuckled, "If I had wanted to kill you, I would've let you die in the alley dearie." He said in his eerie sing-song type way. He cackled at what she said, "Well well, how the world goes round doesn't it?" He jumped onto the floor, "Let me ease your worries, you get food and a place to stay for, oh let's see how about for starters, forever?" He cackled.


Hook had just touched the wheel to steer his way to the shore, but his ears focused on a whimsical tune. The sound of a woman singing with the voice of the sea. He opened his eyeglass looking around for the source, and his eye rested on the most beautiful lass he'd ever laid eyes on. "Mercy." He breathed, and rubbed his eyes only to return his gaze to watch her come closer and closer in view. When the ship landed, he ordered his crew to go on without him and that he'd catch up. While he took a different route to go see the woman who's voice called to him.


"So did you see that friend of yours while you were out?" Amara inquired as she ate her meat in a rather animal-like fashion.
"No, I did not see Ravyn today, and-," He noticed her eating habits again and growled sternly, "Amara! You know better than to eat like that. Now eat your food like a civilized human being."
"Or what? You'll toss me out of the tower?"
He narrowed his eyes scowling, "Don't be ridiculous, I'm here to guard you, not kill you.

She looked at him. "Then why did you save me in the alley? Why would you care for a monster like me?" She asked pushed the food around on her plate and then she looked up at him. "And the only thing you require of me it to cook, and clean the estate?" She asked as she took another bite of food. She was still unsure about him and how he seemed to find joy in everything.

The woman on the cliff watched the man with the hook climb up to meet her, she felt his strong will and felt he wasa pirate, being a pirate saved his life for she enjoyed the chaos pirates made, " my dear pirate please come closer let me feel your aura"

A smaller black poked it's head in " I heard my name" she shifted into a wild looking girl, " greetings sullen and chipper how are you!" She teased smiling at Remington as she pushed hair from her face

"Details, details, who needs them? All you need to know is that you're safe here. Well except from me." He laughed, spinning the head of the knife on the table and smirked at her, "Just kidding. ANyways, I brought you here because well we're all monsters in our own way, aren't we dearie?" Rumpel smiled and stood behind her twirling a lock of her hair, "Yes, yes, that's all I require. Don't worry your pretty little head about it." He said patting her head now. "It's really a small little task."


"My aura eh? You can feel my aura all you want lass, if I can get your name." He smirked tapping his hook against his lips.


"Hi Rav!" Amara exclaimed standing, sauce dribbling from her lips, she went to give her a hug, but Remington spoke up, "Amara, clean up your face first."
Amara blushed and wiped her mouth before hugging Ravyn.

She looked up at him. "Okay then, then where shall I be sleeping Mr. Rumpelstiltskin?" She asked him as she continued to push her food around. She was very nervous around him but still she needed a place to sleep. This place didn't feel like home but its the closest thing she had as a home. "I understand all that you ask of me... So this is the price of our deal?" She said fully understanding the terms of her contract.

Syraala smiled bekoning him closer " pirate wth a hook for a hand, I'm sure it's removable and replaceable " she laughed a sultry laugh " Killian jones , captain of the jolly Rodger I am Syraala siren of the seven seas call me syra"


Ravyn stepped back" no hugging seriously no..not a thing I like princess" she looked at Remington " Rem, you missed the spektical there's a strange hunter in a metal suit wandering round my forest in a daze" she laughed

"Let's call it, your room." He cackled, "Yes dearie, this is the price for saving you."


"Maybe, but that's not all it can do." He teased with a smirk. "A sire?" Hook said raising his brow, but smiled as he gave her a glance over. "Well hello Syra. Nice to know we're already acquainted."


AMara huffed and pouted, "Really? Ever?" SHe sat down with a sigh, "Would you like to join us?"
Remington stiffened, "A knight? Take me to him." He said standing and looked to Amara, "You will remain here young lady."
"Ah can't I come with Rem? You always leave me on my own."
"You are safe here Amara, and you will obey my command do you understand?"
She gave a disgruntled look, "You're not my father."
He paused but then answered, "Nevertheless, you will listen and obey."
Amara looked away, "Fine."

She nods and looks up at him. "Where is my room located then?" She asked him looking a bit more relaxed.

Ravyn glanced at her friend " what will you do for me mister sulks a lot?"

Syra moved closer " I know you but you have yet to know me , you shall soon know me " she held her hand out to him it gave a slight glow under the moon giving her skin a silver grey glow

"Well if you're finished with dinner, then I can show you, now can't I?" He laughed.


He quirked an eyebrow at her, "Aye?" Hesitantly he took her hand with his one good one. Eyeing her cautiously.


"I will take care of your problem." He said plainly, and offered for her to go first, "Ladies first."
Amara watched wishing she could join them. For the last three years she had to deal with being alone after always having someone nearby when she was with her sisters. SHe missed the parties and constantly talking to people.

She blushed and pushed her plate away. "Yes. I'm done.." She stood up. And cautiously walked up to him.

The siren smiled " show me your world, I grow lonely on this rock" she said secretly hoping this would be her chance to break her curse


Ravyn eyed her friend suspiciously " I never said he was a problem..." She shifted into a crow anyway " but as you wish"

Rumpelstiltskin cackled and presented his arm for her.


"Lass, I'll take you anywhere your heart desires." He said with a smirk, "So long as you join me for a pint."


He looked to Amara not wanting to speak about the knight in front of her and flew after her, "Just show me the knight." Rem said grimly.

She cautiously took his arm and looked at him. "Lead the way.."

Syraala flashed a smile and glanced foreword seeing a poor naval officer blindly making his way up the path...." one moment captain..one last fling before I leave this dreaded cliff" she lured the officer closer and then with a swift motion pushed him to his death, returning to the captain "I don't like the navy" she smiled


Raven " alright Mr. sour" she flew off in the direction of her forest leading her dearest friend

Rumpelstiltskin led his charge to a dungeon room, complete with a bed warm enough for cold nights, a small wardrobe, and a writing desk with a lamp and a box of matches at it's side. These he added for her comfort, he couldn't help but want her to have a good first impression. Though this also disturbed him that he felt this kindness towards her. He decided it was just because he was tired and that tomorrow he'd return to his usual self. "There's a chamber pot beneath your bed. When dawn arrives the bell there," He said snapping his fingers to the corner of the room, "Will ring. I'll leave you this map to find your way about. Make sure breakfast is ready by the time the rooster crows. I am a very busy man." He cackled and left her to her own devices.

The captain watched and chuckled, "Aye, the Navy is dishonorable and without good form." He said as he led her down the path to the tavern, and opened the door for her. "Oy! Round of ale for me, this pretty lass and my crew!"
His crew roared with approval and he led her to a somewhat secluded table so they had a little privacy.

After a few moments silence, Remington eased up and asked, "How did you come to find him Ravyn?"

Amara sighed sarcastically, "Oh sweet isolation, how I've missed thee." SHe rolled her eyes and after she finished eating, she cleaned up.

She walked into her room. She looked at her desk and smiled. "Breakfast will be ready when the rooster crows." She said and sat on her bed. She closed her eyes and leaned her head against the wall. "Today has been an interesting day." She thought asshe watched rumple walk out of the room.

Syraala sat down wary of the men about that still stared " is there away my dearest captain to stop them from staring?" she whispered to him her face incredibly close to his at this point hand on his hook hoping that he would be her way to break her curse
A man walked up to the table " aren't you the wicked wench who throws men over the cliff" he growled roughly


Ravyn looked at him " like I usually do , whilst I'm up in a nest watching my forest floor... what's up with your concern over one knight?"

As Rumpelstiltskin left eyeshot, he looked to the door with a serious face, stroking his chin. But shook his head and decided to handle some customers.

Hook chuckled with a crookedly charming smirk, "I shall answer both your question love, by answering his." He stood and swiftly cut the man's belt, forcing his trousers to fall, "If you my good sir, say another word to my lady, I will have to find a way to kill you without getting my blade stained with your disgrace. Now go, and same goes for the lot'o'ya. If anyone harms or so much as looks at my little lady friend, I will cut off parts you may well want to keep."

"My pet, Amara. She was in love and betrothed to a knight once, thus why I guard her to this day. If the knight finds her, it will prove ill. Especially since she doesn't remember him. I just hope that knight isn't the one I've been set to protect her from knowing."
