''We have calcium in our bones,
iron in our veins,
carbon in our souls,
and nitrogen in our brains.
93 percent stardust,
with souls made of flames,
we are all just stars that have people names.''
- Nikita Gill.
AFTER THE DRAMATIC END OF THE WAR OF THE ROSES, 1485'S ENGLAND BURNS WITH UNSPOKEN TENSION. With a new King on the rise, the English Court furiously plots and schemes for ways to rise, and while the nobles dance and feast in the name of peace with knifes hidden beneath their sleeves, the streets silently grow more agitated; hunger, sickness and the old post-war misery sinking deep within the weary souls of the people.
It is in this scenary that Niklaus Mikaelson makes his first appearance in British soil in a hundred years. Having once more hurriedly escaped the clutches of old family feuds, the man had been led by rumours of a large, white stone of exquisite nature being placed above a princess' chest, and now found himself inside the Royal Palace, waiting on the best oportunity to take what he wanted.
The palace, however, housed others than he, and within it's halls walked Elizabeth of York, the future Queen of England, the possessor of the moonstone, and the entire reason as to why Niklaus was in Brittain in the first place.
Having been dealt her fair share of grief in live, Elizabeth now prepared to marry the King in the name of her House; however, with her sharp eyes of blue and her minucious ears, she also glidded along the games of the Royal Court, trying to take the reins of her life to direct it to a point which's location she was still unsure of.
And figuring it out became all that much harder whenever an exquisite lord made his way into her life.
Thankfully, Niklaus had it all planned out.
The people who live on Niapachad Island are a throwback to the past, therefore certain mysteries and rumors will transport you back in time. The community is unusual, they dress strangely, and they talk strangely. They were still accustomed to the outdated social structure, which consisted of gentry. When you're here, there's so much to learn and experience-the breathtaking views from all across the island, the mesmerizing balls, and the captivating operas.
But exercise caution-you never know what might be hiding in the shadows, and it might turn out to be more than just the lovely dream you had been hoping for.
