Ufaria, Kingdom of the Forest

First topic message reminder :

Ufaria is a beautiful safe haven. The trees all around this glorious kingdom built like a village are the ultimate view. It is peaceful and pleasant and flowers bloom and the grass is as green as can be.


Paladina steps out from the Royal Gates and wanders into town, sword and her side, shield on her back. She kindly greets several of the young children who run up to her affectionately.

Hura nods. "Alright, Anyway. Im gonna go look for somethin' to do. wanna come with?" She asks

Eventually, Alina and Nana come to a large tree (what seems to be the largest in the kingdom) and she grabs a branch. "Hold on." She tells Nana as she begins climbing.

Nana looks up the tree and holds on tightly as Alina begins to climb.

"Why not?" Pyra says. "I have nothing to do until the ball tonight."

Hura nods at her sister and walks with her

Alina begins climbing the tree, eventually just leaping from branch to branch. In just a couple of minutes, they reach the top. They both marvel at the beauty of the sea of trees before them.

Nana's eyes glisten as she looks around them. "Kooyooo..."

"So, Hura, if I may ask...why Cane?"

Hura snaps out of her daze. "Hes just... Well he's sorta, I wanted.. Ugh I can't speak" Hura looks down

Alina lets out a big sigh. "Oh, Nana, I wish I could just stay up here forever. That everything would just go away. Up here, I could just escape the Ice War. Escape my past... and the future." She says, her voice very solemn. Her eyes gaze off into the nothingness of the sky.

Nana curls up on Alina's head calmly and looks out into the sky as well.

"So it's gotten so serious that you can't even talk about him, let alone around him, then," Pyra analyzes.

Hura growls lowly. "It ain't that honestly. For some reason Im ashamed of myself. I dont know why."

Alina lets out another deep sigh. After the two are done admiring the view, Alina drops down from her perch and sits on a thick, nearby branch. She rests her back against the trunk, and lays Nana on her lap. The two drift off into a peaceful sleep.

"Hm..." Pyra says to herself.

Later that night, a bell of the town rings and Nana and Alina wake up. "Kuyuo?"

Lei sits in the palace and looks up at the moon for what may very well be the last time then goes to her room to change.

Hura opened one of her eyes, and sat up She had been on her rock again."already?" she questions. "alright then." She soon arrives in her room to change

"Hm?" Alina mumbles out, still half-asleep. "Was goin- Ah!" As she got up, thinking she was in her bed, she fell over and fell out of the branch; taking Nana for the ride as well. Thankfully, Alina is dextrous enough to grab a nearby branch, swing herself up, and catch Nana. "Whew," she breaths out in relief, "that was close."

Aria opens her eyes slowly, yawning as she sits up and swings her legs over the side of her bed.

"What.... What was that?" She yawns.

Lei walks into Aria's room, dressed in her finest attire. "The ball we be in about an hour or so. I believe we should all be getting ready."

Nana hops out of Alina's arms once they're near the ground and starts sprinting towards the palace.

"H-hey! You're not the one who has to get dressed in an hour!" Alina says as she takes off after Nana, eventually passing her and picking her up in her arms as they both speed towards the palace.

Hura takes her hair out of they're pigtails, walks into the bathroom, changes into her light red ball gown and runs her fingers through her hair making it straighter than usual. She put sher obe back on buttoning it up and putting her hood on

"Oh, um, yes... You're right. Thank you," Aria says, seemingly embarrassed. She quickly stands up and walks to her mirror, taking her hair out of it's braid and brushing it, then changing into the light blue ball gown that Lei had lent her.

Lei waits outside of the ball room, welcoming her subject when she sees Lucas and Lance in nice suits, walking in without the girls. "Where are they?"

"Dunno," Lucas says.

"From what I know, Ms. Hura may be with Cane. That aside, I've no idea."

Hura walked in the ballroom alone as well taking off her robe off in the process. "Hm? Thought Cane was already here. " She says ruffling her hair

Alina arrives in her room and sets Nana down on her dresser as she rummages through her dresses and eventually finds the one from Lei's room last night. "Crap, crap, crap..." she says repeatedly as she finds all her makeup she bought in town previously.

Aria slowly walks down to the ballroom, a bit nervous, and a bit scared, "This is probably a bad idea.... I'll probably trip and fall in the middle of a dance or something.... Or worse..."

Cane taps Hura on her shoulder then puts his hands in his pockets. "Hey. Nice outfit," he says.

Pyra then approached the ball room as well. "It would seem we're only missing one person," she says.

"And a pet," Lei adds.

Hura smiles and tilts her head in a very curious childlike fashion. "Thank you, you look nice as well." She says, She glances at her robe on a hanger nervously she's never had that thing off for a long period of time.

(The only reason she wears the robe in the firs tplace is because shes self concious about her body.)
