Tales of Pangaea | VICTORIA
#7.
A mysterious stranger comes to your camp requesting a place to rest. Who is she?
THE FALL OF MARMALADE
There are many Houses in New Pangaea. Some are well known while some are not. House Marmalade is a legend to Houses and penditas alike. Not just because it was the wealthiest and biggest House in history. Not because it was the only House to have actual citizens...but because of its fall. A revolution enacted by the lower class caused the head family to be killed and the House itself to be toppled completely. To this day, there is still some mystery behind what EXACTLY happened to the Marmalade family.
Especially about the Marmalade sisters. One vanished and the other perished...or did they?
HER STORY
Victoria was born in a rich and elegant family known as the House of Marmalade along with her sister, Grace Marmalade. House Marmalade was once the most powerful house in world. How they got to the top is a mystery to even the family themselves. They didnโt care however and considered themselves superior to others. Neither did Victoria. All she cared about was her family. Call it ignorance. Victoria calls it dedication. Grace on the other hand felt differently towards the name โMarmaladeโ. She always felt out if place there and in fact hated the snobbish and greedy nature of her family. She would often escape the mansion to converse and play with the poor yet strong willed lower class. While Grace was out there, Victoria spent time with her parents. Unlike her sister, she saw the good in them. The moments she spent with them her genuine and heartfelt. Victoria also saw something else. Something unfortunate. Her parents were...dysfunctional with each other. There were unspoken troubles in their marriage that Victoria didn't know about. What she did know was that she was the only one keeping them together. Then...the revolution came. Her home was being destroyed in front of her very eyes, being raided by citizens who she thought loved the Marmalade family. She was wrong. She searched endlessly for her sister Grace. As the house collapsed, she caught a glimpse of her sister. Her twelve year old sister, leading the revolution. Victoria's heart broke into pieces. Grace had...forgotten her? There was no way. Victoria remained buried in the rubble for hours. When she came to...the once bustling city was empty. Years have passed. Victoria will never be the same.
THE SITUATION
You and a couple of friends, Hush, Rosetta and Wan, decided to go on a little expedition outside of Being apart of House Capu, dwellers of the Moon Forest tree tops, you aren't exactly out of your element.
However, before you left the village, you had been warned about a few things; the Blackheads trying to colonize some parts of the forest...and the mysterious beast the Blackheads attract.
The four of you made a small camp once the sun went down. Weapons are still strapped just in case an animal or monster or two decides to show up.
What you didn't expect to see...was a woman. She approached your camp, her body covered by a black cloak. She...almost looks like royalty. Like a princess. Her long orange locks are breathtaking, but the scars on her face suggest a darker past.
She doesn't have House Capu face paint...neither does she wear a raven crest like the Blackheads...She is a stranger in every sense.
Wan instantly grabs his spear and Rosetta primes her bow. Hush however, continues to strum his guitar.
WAN: "HOLD IT. State your business..."
The woman puts her hands up slowly.
VICTORIA: "Please. I mean no harm...I just need a place to rest."
