The Twelfth Kingdom
There is a realm named Ouhta, consisting of twelve kingdoms. These twelve kingdoms live in the time that we call “medieval”. Each kingdom is different and each person from each kingdom has a special characteristic that links them with their people. This is the story of the people of Ouhta’s fight for survival and the fight for their land.
It is said that the God Anaedaan created one land named Ouhta. The people of this land made Anaedaan their king and worshipped him. All was at peace. Until another god named Induisha grew jealous of Anaedaan and destroyed him. Anaedaan exploded into twelve pieces of rock: Garnet, Amethyst, Aquamarine, Diamond, Emerald, Pearl, Ruby, Peridot, Sapphire, Opal, Topaz and Zircon. They fell to the land.
Legend says that when the stones fell they cracked the land into eleven different pieces. Each of the lands became different kingdoms named after the stone that had fallen on that land.
As time wore on the stones began to change the land and the people on them. For example, the people of Sapphire migrated to the ocean and learnt how to breathe underwater.
However the two stones, Diamond and Garnet, had fallen onto the same land. The two kingdoms lived together for many years in peace. But they slowly grew weary of each other. The people began warring with each other until one day the people of the kingdom of Diamond simply vanished. The kingdom of Garnet concluded that the people of Diamond had fled the land because they knew they could not win the war against them. Whatever had truly happened, the people of Diamond were never seen on the land again. Slowly the Diamond kingdom became story, a fairytale that only young children found delight in.
In fact the people of Diamond had only moved to the skies, building their cities on clouds, watching over Ouhta and its eleven lands. The people of Diamond grew wings and gained magical abilities so that when people saw them they would often be mistaken for angels or spirits of Anaedaan.
Over time the people of each kingdom realised how precious the stones that controlled their lands were. Each stone was hidden in a special place in each kingdom. And only each ruler of each kingdom knew where their stone was hidden.
It was said that if the twelve stones were joined together all the kingdoms would be as well and they would form a sort of ‘super race’ and the great God Anaedaan would return to lead them. The eleven kingdoms wished to do this but the people of Diamond did not wish to join with the other people. They believed that they were above them.
And so life went on like this for many years.
One night, while reading the stars, the people of Diamond discovered that Induisha planned to destroy all the lands of Ouhta by taking the stones that protected each kingdom. Each kingdom had become dependant on the stone that protected them and without them; the land and the people would disintegrate. The Diamond people were not worried. They knew that their stone was safe enough. They also knew that Induisha was sending down a group of demons to each realm to find out where the stone was. But they thought he would not send demons to their kingdom as he didn’t know where it was. In fact they were quite glad. They thought of themselves as the true people of Anaedaan, they believed that after Induisha had destroyed the other kingdoms Anaedaan would emerge and crown the people of Diamond his true people.
But Crown Princess Serenity of the realm of Diamond doesn’t understand how her people can desert the other realms. She decides to send messengers to the other realms to warn them. The council sees this as a problem and attempts to distract her. Still she fights on, trying to save the other kingdoms… She knows if she does not reach them soon they will all perish and Ouhta with it. She plans to unite all of the Kingdoms, so that they may fight as one, to save themselves and their people.

Ria’s bios:
Character Info-
Name: Meret Ailuros
Age: 17
Kingdom: Emerald
Position in Kingdom: Empress
Appearance: Dark brown hair which reaches her shoulders, two parts in the front are left out but the rest is bundled up into two buns at the top of her head. These are given structure with wire to become two diamonds, this is then covered with white cloth and bound at the base of each bun with gold thread. Feathers and beads are sewn onto the two top edges of the cloth. Her eyes are a deep emerald green and black eyeliner and mascara surround them. Her skin has a slight golden tan and she is quite thin and small for her age. Her outfit consists of a forest green short sleeved top which ends just below her waist with a zigzag pattern, the collar is low with the same pattern. Her pants are dark brown and made of a stiff, durable fabric. A light brown woven belt it tied around her waist and a long half-skirt falls off the right side. The half-skirt is made of pale green, forest green and white fabric. Her boots are low and are made of black leather. She wears two dark brown armbands with the zigzag pattern facing down on either arm and a pair of short forest green gloves with the zigzag pattern facing up.
Personality: Meret is cheerful and kind, but there is also a certain… distance, one feels when around her. Like she isn’t really paying attention to what you’re saying, and doesn’t really care that you’re there. Of course, most assume that is just because, being the Empress, she has a lot on her mind. Some of Meret’s strengths are that she is extremely loyal, not only to her kingdom, family and friends, but to the animals and plants of the forest and to her beliefs and ideals. She is also very brave, even if she was tortured she would never reveal any secrets of her kingdom and she never even falters if being threatened. Some of Meret’s weaknesses are that she isn’t very physically strong or fast, because of this she relies on her guards and animal companion to protect her. Meret also has a number of enemies, mainly nobles who don’t think she is fit to rule the kingdom, and because of this she has a high distrust of strangers and can very suspicious of people’s motives. Meret has always felt that something was missing in her life, ever since she was young. And as recently the feeling has only grown stronger. The feeling is always in the back of her mind, and when people of little importance speak to her she often tunes them out without realising it and continues searching for whatever it is she is missing. Sometimes, when the feeling grows too strong, she becomes extremely distant and her mind begins to spin dark tales. These tales often theorise on what she is missing and sometimes her dark thoughts start telling her that she’s missing the most important thing to a person. They start telling her that she’s missing a purpose in life… that she’s missing her soul.
History: Meret’s parents were both adventurous people, even though they were Emperor and Empress, and when Meret was very young they went out on a very long adventure. Meret had two brothers, one older and one younger,. and a younger sister and every night she would sit with them, looking out into the forest, and make up stories of their parents grand adventures. Many months passed and her parents still hadn’t returned, she sent many search parties out looking for them, and eventually her parents were found. They had both died, with mysterious wounds in a mysterious part of the forest. Meret’s older brother grew depressed when he learned that he was to become the new Emperor, a year passed and he began to grow ill and weak. Eventually he died and Meret became the Empress. Meret’s younger siblings, two twins, ran away from the palace when they learned of their brother’s death, and they were soon found, having been killed by the same mysterious creatures who killed her parents. At first Meret was frightened by the knowledge that she was to rule the Emerald Kingdom, she had wanted to refuse and run away. But then the memory of her, now gone, family came to her mind. It was obvious that the people expected her to share the fate that had befallen the rest of her family, and she began to realise that the people were losing hope because of the recent disasters. So Meret put on a brave face, did lots of research, collected a group of trusted advisors and decided to rule her kingdom. If not for her people, then for her family.

Abilities: Amazing mental powers which require silence and a meditative state to be used. These powers are used to slowly destroy minds. They are the darkness and the doubt heard in weaker thoughts of a strong mind and the evil illness that sweeps over the weak mind.
History: Durgul was created by Induisha from the dark emotions, hatred, fear, anger and jealousy. He was sent down to slowly destroy the leaders of each kingdom, but his first target is the kingdom of Emerald. It is he who destroyed Meret’s older brother and he who has created the dark feeling inside Meret.

They both have pale skin, pure black hair and odd coloured eyes. Ella’s right eye is amber, her left is blue. Atti’s left eye is amber, his right is blue.

The leaders of each animal type are-
Awkrorn, the leader of the birds, a fierce black hawk with a 3 metre wingspan.
Torarg, the leader of the cats, a small tiger whose agility and speed make up for his size.

(2nd character)
Name: Arelore Lirqualie
Age: 24
Kingdom: Amethyst
Position in Kingdom: Mercenary (she left her kingdom)
Appearance: Pale skin with black hair that is cut half way between her ears and her shoulders. Dark hazel eyes with flecks of red in them. Her outfit consists of a tight black body suit which cuts down at a sharp angle at the top and is cut into a semi circle shape on the front from her waist (revealing her stomach). Across her chest is a large dark green stripe with a smaller brown stripe running through this about two thirds of the way down. The collar is large, stiff and white, and its two ends are both up. She has two stiff sleeves covering her shoulders, the top half is dark green with bottom being white. A dark green sash made of velvet is around her waist and it is tied into a large bow at the front. A pair of long black gloves cover her hands and her arms up to her elbows. A pair of fur leg-warmers are attached to her legs below the knees. The top part is made of fluffy white fur and hangs over the rest slightly. The rest of the leg-warmers are made from dark brown fur with thin white stripes. They are held by two metal rings half way down her leg and thick metal stitches hold the fabric together. These leg-warmers cover a pair of black boots. She also wears a dark green headband and a black choker.
Personality: Arelore is very silent and a great analyser of people and situations. She tends to judge people over a long period of time and her friends are few and chosen wisely. Arelore’s strengths include her analytical nature, she can read people like an open book and often provides answers others can’t see. She is very bold, slightly more so than is normal for her people, and she often speaks her mind and gets straight to the point. Arelore’s weaknesses include her temper. Although she isn’t easily provoked and it often takes a while for her to get riled up, when her anger is finally unleashed it is virtually unstoppable. She gets sent into a frenzy of sorts and often becomes very violent when this occurs. Because of this, Arelore has been classified as a ‘Berserker’ and is considered dangerous by her people.
Weapons: Arelore uses her whole body to fight. Because of her agility she is a master at hand-to-hand combat and can leap several metres into the air.
History: Arelore discovered she was a Berserker when she was 12 years old. She had gotten into a fight with her older brother and their argument grew so loud and hostile that when the final straw was broken no-one could stop her rage. She ended up braking several of her brothers ribs and his jaw as well as fracturing both his arms and his ankle. The adults who tried to stop her ended up receiving multiple fractures themselves. Arelore was feared by her people ever since then, they all tried especially hard to be nice to her but she knew they were all afraid of her and what she could do. When she was 16 Arelore left the Amethyst kingdom. She travelled with a merchant from the Emerald Kingdom for many years, she became a mercenary for hire and her reputation slowly grew. When she was 21 Arelore moved to the Emerald Kingdom and was hired as a bodyguard for the Empress Meret.
Rachel’s bios:
Character Info-
Name: Serenity Tehsume (teh-soom-ae)
Age: 15
Kingdom: Diamond
Position in Kingdom: Crown Princess
Appearance: Has very, very pale pink hair (almost white) that reflects different colours when the light hits it (like a diamond) eyes are pink with white flecks that also reflect different colours. Very pale skin. Her hair reaches her knees and she insisted on always wearing it out, although it always gets tangled in her wings. She wears clothes that people believe are strange, but are actually influenced by people pf the other kingdoms. She wears a pale purple crop-top that has long, violet bell-sleeves. The sleeves have each have a hole in them, revealing her shoulders. She wears pale pink gloves under her sleeves, but they are barely noticed as her sleeves are so long. Threads of pink and purple beads dangle from the bottom of her top and onto her bare stomach. Her skirt starts very low at her waist and is lined with a belt of Diamonds. Her skirt is very simple. It is just two pieces of long light purple material at the front and back sewn to a piece of purple material that sits on her waist. Both the skirt and the top are encrusted with tiny diamonds that are placed randomly onto the fabric, making it shimmer when it moves. She wears pale pink tights and lose dark purple boots with fringes that come just below her knees. She wears a silver and diamond tiara on her head and a matching choker. She wears a light chain attached to a shard of the Diamond that protects her kingdom (it is given to her early in the story).
Personality: She is shy and timid. She is also very clumsy and is always tripping over her dresses she that she wears, or is falling over her wings. She is always worrying about small things and has a very small concentration span. She is not a very complex person, she is quite simple and most people can read her like a book. She is very emotional and can be quite cute. She’s very sensitive about her… limited height (she’s only five feet tall). She is creative and is a dreamer, who would rather spend her time listening to old stories than perform her duties as Crown Princess.
Serenity’s strengths are few, but honourable: she is fair and just, she cares about people, good and bad. She listens to her heart, other than her head (that could also be a weakness as well) and she trusts people (maybe more than she should). She puts others before herself. She does not like to fight and will look for any other solution than violence.
Serenity has many weaknesses, most of them unintentional. She has an awful memory and is very unreliable. The meagre spells that she is able to cast always turn out wrong. She tends to act without thinking, if she ever thinks at all. Her clumsiness prevents her from doing most activities properly; even walking is not without dilemmas.
Weapons: Her wand of life, which has been blessed by several famous and powerful sorcerers of Diamond (if she can ever find it) and a diamond encrusted silver sword with a real diamond blade that was handed down by the kings of the Diamond Kingdom. It is not a good melee weapon; rather, it was designed to attack magically. No one can figure out what it does or how to work it yet, and it is deemed useless, but Serenity carries it with her at all times, attaching it the Diamond belt at her waist, believing that it will prove itself one day.
History: Serenity is an only child and her parents died when she was only three. She is has always been clumsy and timid and was never respected by the council. They regard her as a disgrace to the Royal family of Diamond but they know that her people adore her, so they cannot overthrow her.
Serenity befriended a girl named Usnami, (Oos-naa-mee) who was kidnapped from the Kingdom of Zircon to serve her. Usnami learned magic quickly and effectively and trains Serenity (who never learns much anyway) in the art.
She never fitted into the royal community and finds them boring. She likes to escape the palace to explore the land of Ouhta with the other children of Diamond.
News: The people of Diamond have just discovered that Induisha is planning to destroy the eleven kingdoms of Ouhta. The council ignores the matter, as they believe that their kingdom is safe. They do not care what happens to the other realms.
Serenity is shocked that her people can be so cold and immediately organises for messengers to be sent out to warn the eleven kingdoms.
The council decides to counter this act by marrying her off and making her Queen early, so that she will be too busy to worry about the other realms.
Serenity is shocked and angry that she must throw away her childhood so early to become Queen, but she cannot think of anyway to avoid her situation. Desperately, she waits in anguish as the days pass on and it get closer to her wedding and coronation day.
Kingdom info-
Government Type: Monarchy
Cultural info: The people do not use transport, rather they fly, or if they have to, they use a special kind of horse that has been specially bred in Diamond, that has identical wings to the people.
The local sport is called Redball. The rules are simple: a blue ball is thrown into the air and it is not allowed to touch the ground. The aim is to get the ball into the other teams hoop. You can only hold the ball for five seconds at a time and when the ball turns red it will poison anybody who touches it, making them unable to play. You can still move the ball with magic or anything that will move it and prevent it from touching the round but it is too dangerous to physically move the ball when it is red.
The people of Diamond enjoy a diet of mostly light and neat foods, like vegetables and dainty pastries. They despise red meat.
They worship Anaedaan, believing that he is not gone, he is only hiding, waiting until the other kingdoms are destroyed so he can come and crown them, the survivors, his true people.
They are a very graceful people, and care a lot about their appearance. They spend hours brushing their long hair and they spend lots of money on colourful clothes.
Architecture/City appearance: Most of the buildings are made of pearl, opal or marble, with an occasional appearance of Diamond. The Kingdom is held up in the clouds purely by the Diamond and magic. If the Diamond were ever to be taken from the realm, the Kingdom would fall from the sky. The buildings are domed and everything is kept perfectly clean so that the buildings retain their original colour. It is very misty but a small light glows around the city, so people can see. People say that is the heart of the Diamond, their stone watching over them. There are no plants or wildlife in the clouds, except for birds and the special unicorn-like horses.
The buildings are covered with many windows- the people of Diamond are fond of light; they wish it to flow through their homes.
The Kingdom is separated into two districts, one where the richer and important people reside and one where the general public live.
The ground is not covered with anything, unless it is inside a building
Main Palace/Castle: The Palace is split up into four sections: the left wing; where the royal courtiers live, the right wing, where the royal councillors live and where Crown Princess Serenity lives, the upper main level, where the servants live, and the; largest part, the lower main level, where parties are held, the royal court eats etc.
The palace is made of Pearl and Diamond and it is situated on it’s own little cloud. The rooms are decorated with marble and various artworks.

He also possesses a soul collector. It is a small red box that he carries around with him. He collects the souls of the people he kills and they add to his power.

One day he found a map that promised great riches and wealth. He put together a band of honest men to help him with his quest. They eventually found the treasure but it turned out to be a curse, not a blessing. When they opened the lid, a black cloud rose out of the treasure box, and startled them. The cloud cleared and when they look in the box there was nothing there. A lady’s voice called out to them from behind them. They turned to see a sad look elf. She spoke to them slowly, and darkly, “ You shouldn’t have come here. My husband gave that box to me. He then locked me in the box and left me to die there. That box is sacred to me. For disturbing me, I shall lay a curse on all of you men. No one shall ever be able to touch you or anything you hold again. For when you touch them, they shall die instantly of the curse that has been laid on you.”
She then pointed to each man and told him what his punishment was, “You, whoever touches you shall die instantly of poisoning. Whoever touches you shall go crazy and kill themselves. Whoever you touch, you will drain their energy. They will die of exhaustion. Whoever you touch shall turn to stone. And you,” she said, pointing to Muin, “You, who led this quest to destroy my peace, I shall bestow the worst curse upon. Whoever you touch shall die of fear. No one shall ever want to come near you, you will lose all you have ever worked for. All of you shall live forever to experience the true pangs of my curse,”
She then disappeared, leaving the scared men behind.
Over the years the men saw that what she said had been true. Their families deserted them and they were run out of their homes. All they had ever gained was lost.
They wandered Ouhta, together, all alone until Induisha found them. They agreed to join him if he helped them. So he gave all the men human forms, in which their curses would not harm people and he also gave them other powers, which they could use when in and out of Demon form. Now, he and his Minions serve as one of Induisha’s vile army of demons.
Minions: The four minions of Dyre all have identical characteristics and they are all men. They all have black skin, red-clawed wings, red eyes and they all possess one power. All of their powers are different though (read history).
Their names and ablitites are:
Moragan- Poisoning.
Tera- Madness.
Ryu- Energy drain.
Indun- Solidify.
They act all the same: annoying and disgusting. They are smaller than their master, but still very large, they are seven feet tall. One cannot tell them apart until they use their powers.
Dyre is waiting for his master to send him down more minions as he promised.
(2nd character)
Name: Echo Takahashi
Age: 17
Kingdom: Not known
Position in Kingdom: none
Appearance: Has shortish black hair that sticks up on all ends (like Cloud from FF7), pale skin and deep blue eyes, that seem to shine from his face like two lights (this is why he is believed to be of the kingdom of Zircon). He wears only many layers of the colour black. First layer: A tight black top with no sleeves, black tights (common with all travellers, they provide comfort and easy movement) and thick black, knee high socks. Second layer: a baggy, low cut, black top embroidered with strange golden runes, thick, baggy pants with heaps of pockets and loose black boots. Third layer: A thick, black trench coat that flows down to his ankles. This also has many pockets and there are many evil-looking gadgets hidden within them.
Personality: Cold, silent and unemotional, Echo is not a people person. He is a loner by nature and he suppresses any actions that may bring him close to other people. He normally covers his emotions with a smooth facial expression he always wears, no matter the situation. He is not humourless but he is quite serious. However no one has ever seen what his true personality is like, so it remains a mystery, not unlike himself.
He has many strengths, though he doesn’t like to show them: he displays a surprising amount of leadership and survival skills and is very skilled in sword combat. He has a strong body build, has very fast reflexes and is very agile, making him an awesome fighter.
His weaknesses seem to be hidden behind his unemotional mask, but his distance to other people has created other weaknesses. He shuts people out, so he is always alone and it is secretly eating away at him inside, though he’d never admit it. He has never shown any pride in his achievements, though they are many. It is almost as if he has no love of himself, that he never congratulates himself for is many victories, or that he even cares. His bad temper is the only emotion he has trouble hiding.
Weapons: He carries two identical curved twin swords that both end in a sharp point They seem to shine with a bright light from next to his dark clothes. No one knows what metal they are made of and why they shine so or how they are able slice through anything, even most metals. By putting his speed and skill with swords together he can become an unstoppable force. He uses two identical black belts to attach his swords to his clothes when he is travelling, either on his back or on his waist, depending on wether he is wearing his coat or not.
He also carries a small knife and many other gadgets for other purposes one of which is a small red and black stone. He has not figured out what it can do yet, but he studies it each day, eagerly.
History: Echo’s parents died when he was three. He was then put into an orphanage where he was abused constantly. He ran away when he was five and ever since then he’d been on the streets trying to survive. When he was fifteen, he woke up in a strange room with lost of weird objects in it. He way lying on a bed and there were people all around him, looking at him and writing notes on scrolls. They were wearing robes and they all had staffs in hand.
One of the men started to speak, “ We have done it, friends. We have taken this normal boy and changed him into...”
Echo panicked. He jumped up off the bed, grabbed the nearest weapon (which were two shining swords) and swung them till the whole room was filled with blood and none save him were still standing. He then, picked up a black trench coat (which he supposed was his), the two swords and as he was about to leave a faint glimmer caught his eye. He then walked over to it and after viewing it for a few moments; he took it and put it in a pocket in his coat. He then searched the men’s pockets and found bas of bronze silver and even gold. As he left he saw a picture of him on the wall, next to it was a picture of a wolf and under that picture……. was a picture what looked like a wolf-man. Echo slashed the pictures into threads, and then walked out.
Ever since that day Echo has had no memory of what had happened to him before then, they only thing that he remembered was his name, Echo Takahashi. He searches for information of his childhood in vain- but no one seems to ever have heard of Echo. It is like he never existed.
An outcast, Echo travelled for Kingdom to Kingdom looking for ways to earn money, like bounty hunting and becoming an occasional body guard.
He fell in love with a girl from Garnet named Leah. Her husband found out and he was so angry that he murdered her and hired men to kill Echo. Echo left the Kingdom and managed to survive but he suppressed all emotions so that he would never have to get close to, or lose someone again.
News: Echo’s adventures have taken him back to Garnet. He has found a map, which shows the way to get to Diamond city. He knows that if he proves their existence, he will be famous and rich. He has gone to search Garnet because; legend says that the last place the people of Diamond were seen was in the realm of Garnet. He knows going there will put him in danger (see history), but as a bounty hunter he will do anything for money.
