~~Early Morning ~~Gabriele sat up on the edge of her bed. It was morning, she could the maids wandering around her room, even though there intentions were to remain quiet. She bellowed out, "....please stop trying to not make noise your only doing the opposite!" One of the women carrying her food tray dropped it. She halted in movement with apologizes. Gabriele just nodded , and pulled her pillow near her and fell to it. Why was she so tired? Today of all days, she should be running out of bed, but she wasn't. She looked over to her left and saw a large pearl necklace. It was her mothers. She let out a very long sigh, closing her eyes she could see her mother with her. Talking to her and holding her. She would smile and release tears she had kept inside her for days.

Re: Coronation Of Gabriele
October 29, 2014 12:28PM

It had been weeks since she received a letter telling of the coronation of a woman she had never met, in a land she had just barely heard of. Although she was vacationing at the Castle of Hesperos; home of allies and friends Dione and Jayr Hesperos, she made her way back to her home within the lands of Ailae which were buzzing with the news the Empress intended on rebuilding once more. Though her trip home was brief she was only there long enough to retrieve the gown that was especially made for such an occasion as well as her new crown jewels and to tend to a few items of business before making her way to Abalone Bay. While most would travel by ship, Kalista had her own unique way of travel. Closing her eyes she held the letter in hand, focusing upon where it had been sent to her from and who wrote it as well as on the destination the letter told of where the Coronation itself would be taking place. Her bags at her feet and touching her she began to feel a soft mist form at her feet and around herself and her luggage. Within moments she was consumed and disappeared from there within her home, appearing again just outside of Wolcott River Stone Inn. It was far past night fall, and she had made her way tot the doors of the inn, pushing them open as she carried her bags inside with her. Being greeted by the Inn Keeper she told him who she was and that she would be staying for at least three nights before returning home and that she would be met by a man who would be accompanying her to the Coronation. He quickly took up a key and led her to her secluded room, the best room within the entire Inn as per her request. Entering her room she set her bags on the bed, closing and locking the door behind her; of course after taking the key from the Inn Keeper. She spent the rest of her evening unpacking her clothes and other items before preparing for bed and resting. Tomorrow would be indeed…a busy day.



IHEKrystalNightStar: " She fixed her gown , carefully checking over herself. She stood straight up taking a deep breath, breathing in everything around her. It was magnificent. None like this in all her lands. She went to step and the sound the stones made were as rain drops. "What is this?" she said noting that they were not stones but diamonds. She knelt down to touch them when a guard walked over to her and said, " This way to the coronation hall." she stood a little shocke that anyone noticed her doing such a thing. she gave a brief nod and followedd the man insided-
CaptainGabrieleStoro: ~The Day Before ~"Caspian i wanted to go over with you a few details for the coronation tomorrow, Do you have a minute?" Gabriele stops him as he is going by Caspian nods and stops to listen to what she has to say. She takes Caspian hand and leads him to an area where they could speak, in the corner of the coronation room where her preparation room was . She closed the door behind her " .... I wanted to discuss a certain someones title being moved to Dutchess. When I am crowned queen tomorrow I will say and who supports my decision? You can say I will support ."Caspian looks towards the princess- and what am I supporting dear? She looks at him her eyes unwavering" After the issues we all faced with the sea, the monsters and Afaregon I have decide something for our land. No better person I have seen that handles herself so courageously... Her name is Red. Over one of the Providences OF Abalone, and you can choose which one, I name her Dutchess. If you cannot agree you tell me a more suitable person for the position" Caspian glances at the Princess, he thinks for a moment then clears his throat and looks back to the the Captain again, he then nods and smiles- I don't think that I have any right to argue with you my lady.~

CaptainGabrieleStoro: ~~CORONATION DAY~~Gabriele sighed trying to remember these things among others of what she had to do tonight. Gabriele helpers ran back and forth getting her clothing together and piece by piece they layered her. Gabriele stood still because moving around would only make it take longer, and she wanted them off of her. She occasionally let out a sigh from standing still so long. She thought she would collapse when Miriam finally said ," Your highness you are ready. You father wants you downstairs, you carriage is waiting. She blinked a few times pushing Miriam out of the way so she could see herself in the mirror. Her gown was a royal blue with a high collar as her mother had when she was crowned. She took in a long breath and started out of the room. Her helpers were around her in about the number of 12. Making sure her dress didn't drag and nothing touched her body.

PrcsAdalinNightStar: - looking out of the carriage behind her mother she take in all the sites and smells lifting her head to the sky she takes a deep breather of the salty water that stings her nose just a bit looking back down she sees her mother entering the massive castle jumping down from the carriage she quickly catches up to her mother finally catching up with her mother Adalin looks around seeing all the beauty that surrounds her taking her hand she lightly touches the colums with a big smile she looks around ones again seeing Gabriele she runs to her giving her a big hug-
Guest_LilAzureMoon: -Standing aside in the great area, Selene gritted her teeth and pulled at her dress once more so that it covered more of her bosom- Dratted dress. Stupid maid. -She muttered under her breath, cursing at the fact that her head maid was stubborn enough to force her into the gown she hated the most. Sighing, she gives up and stomps in a very unlady-like manner to an open seat, Settling down in a huff, she lets her hair rest behind her, all the while muttering- Stupid curse...

CaptainGabrieleStoro: She finally arrived to her father, King Madres, he took a long breath and embraced his daughter, " You know your mother would be so proud to see this day Gabriele." She holds him back smiling saying, " I know dad. I also know she would want me to be strong right now and remember her examples. Dad im ready let us leave, please." She releases him and he gives a nod taking her hand and leading her to the carriage.

CaptainGabrieleStoro: Gabriele arrived to the Ceremonial Hall with her Father. He stepped out of the his side and walked around to Gabriele side and opened her door for her," ...i dont usually do this but..." he chuckled a little and Gabriele could only smile as he extended his hand for her to take. Taking a deep breath she clasped her left hand into his and got out of the carriage. They walked a little ways as King Madres finally saw the Arch Bishop. He signalled her over and said, "...is everything ready for my daughter?"

KalistaSerenityAilae: Kalista left immediately from the Inn with Reaper, the man who was accompanying her to the Royal Coronation. Outside the Inn was a carriage waiting for them to take them to the Coronation. Quickly getting inside they were off as soon as the doors shut. It took roughly fifteen minutes for them to arrive outside the beautiful location at which the coronation was taking place. As they pulled to the front steps of the place and the carriage came to a halt, the doors opened and Kalista exited the carriage with the help of both the carriage boy and of Reaper. As she stepped out of the carriage the light hit her gown perfectly, making it look as if she was shimmering in the light as it bounced off the gold in both her gown and her jewelry. She was dressed like her title expressed…Although she never was one for titles persay, she was not afraid to dress to look like who and what she truly was. And dressed in an elegant cream and gold gown matched with elegant jewelry and a circlet to show her status, Kalista was a vision.Looping her arm through Reapers, and her other hand taking holdof the skirt of her gown so she dare not tread upon it they made their way up the steps, only to be stopped by a guard who directed them to where the Coronation would be taking place. Smiling softly she said a soft thank you before they walked through the castle until they made it to the Coronation Hall.  Taking a deep breath she smiled over to Reaper, before the doors opened, she took a step inside only to be stopped by the doormen who requested their names and titles. Clearing her throat she looked to him , speaking in a gentle yet powerful tone of voice. “I am Kalista Serenity Ailae. Empress of Ailae.”  The man nodded and looked to Reaper, as did Kalista, awaiting for him to give his answer

OnyxReaperDragonsoul: ~Walking Kalista to the front door he looks her over admiring her beauty. As the doors open they are stopped by the doorman asking for their names. Hearing Kalista speak her name and title Reaper smiles and looks to the doorman as he looks to Reaper~ I am Reaper Dragonsoul, Last of the Shadow Dragons and heir to the Shadow Realm.

KalistaSerenityAilae: She smiled softly to Reaper as he spoke his name and title. In that moment she was truly admiring how handsome he looked there before her. Once the Doorman heard their titles he gave the go ahead for them to take their seats, at which so she began walking towards empty pews picking one near the front as she wanted a good view to see who this new Queen would be and to better view the customs of this place. Sitting down softly she restd one hand in herlap, the other resting upon the seat between her and where Reaper would be sitting-

OnyxReaperDragonsoul: ~Walking Kalista to the front door he looks her over admiring her beauty. As the doors open they are stopped by the doorman asking for their names.

Guest_CJBUSHA: -As CJ enters he takes notice of the ones inside and says nothing keeping a rather straight yet mean looking face  the white suit in wich he is wearing fits losely apon his apon his large frame  .His feet touched  the floor in front of the seats second from the front  of building.The lad sat shortly after finding his place as thoughts close to this words echoed through his mind God save our gracious Queen! Long live our noble Queen! Send her victorious, Long to reign over us, God save the Queen.Thy choicest gifts in store Thy choicest gifts in store On her be pleased to pour, Long may she reign. May she defend our laws, And ever give us cause, To sing with heart and voice, God save the Queen.

ValoraRaven: ~ Slowly making her way over to the King, His majesty she would bow and nod.~ " Everything is ready your Majesty" ~ Turning to the Princess one last time before she is to be crowned the Queen~

CaptainGabrieleStoro: He nodded and signaled Gabriele too the starting line. Gabriele meanwhile was watching the other Dukes and Dutchess, Kings and Queens enter from there respectful realms. She was over whelm and placed her hand to her chest to take a few breathes. Her father came in and placed his hands on her shoulders and said calmly to her, " You will be fine, now let us go. We dont want to keep your guest waiting. Gabriele nodded and turned around to the entrance as her father left the room. He took his place at front with the Arch Bishop. Gabriele walked to the line and waited for The Arch Bishops signal to come forward and kneel.

ValoraRaven: Standing at the front of the room the Archbishop would survey the room and motion for Princess Gabriele to come forward and kneel as the Coronation was beginning.

CaptainGabrieleStoro: Gabriele nodded taking the long walk down the long isle. She felt over whelmed and keep telling herself~ stay upright head forward.~ She reached the step and kneeled before the Arch Bishop and listened to her words as she took deep breathes in knowing her mother was so proud of her right now~

CaptainGabrieleStoro: -keeps breathing slowly-

ValoraRaven: The Arch Bishop would motion for her helpers to bring forth the crown and scepter that lay on a royal shaded blue pillow with delicate gold trim. The crown glistened in the light of the room as the Arch Bishop picked it up and gracefully placed the crown onto Gabriele's head, then reaching for the scepter she would lay it gracefully in Gabriele's arms and looks out towards the congregation of King's, Queen's and other nobels. A soft smile would be on her face ans she spoke to them all." Long live the Queen"  As she said that she would motion for the members in the room to say so as well. " Long live Her Royal Majesty, Queen Gabriele Storo"
ValoraRaven: as*

CaptainGabrieleStoro: -Gabriele stand slowly holding her head upright and her arm a steady to hold onto the scepter. She closed her eyes and opened hem again walking to her throne, turning and sitting -

KalistaSerenityAilae: She watched the coronation take place before her. Seeing she was to speak after the Arch bishop she said in her normal gentle tone . "Long Live The Queen."

Guest_LilAzureMoon: -having settled down in her seat, Selene takes a moment to discreetly observe those around her. She fiddles with the dratted gown, wishing she could go back to the freedom of the waters and just swim. Muttering quietly- You land dwellers will never know the wonders of the heart of the seas. Even is you sail for years... -Noticing that the Arch Bishop has crowned the queen, Selene respectfully repeating the words- Long live Her Royal Majesty, Queen Gabriele Storo.
ValoraRaven: Turning to the Queen she would ask."Madam, is your Majesty willing to take the Oath?"

CaptainGabrieleStoro: -Gabriele nodded replying ," Yes I am willing"

ValoraRaven: "Will you solemnly promise and swear to govern the Peoples of the Abalone, Iborelian, Walima, Breanydd,Crisicas, Urich,Ybilakith, Kaoac,Aliea, Delide, Kedalithiel, and of your Possessions and the other Territories to any of them belonging or pertaining, according to their respective laws and customs?"

CaptainGabrieleStoro: -Gabriele nods and replies ," Yes I will."

ValoraRaven: "Will you to your power cause Law and Justice, in Mercy, to be executed in all your judgements?"
CaptainGabrieleStoro: -Gabriele nods again and replies," Yes I will."

ValoraRaven: "Will you to the utmost of your power maintain the Laws of God and the true profession of the Gospel? Will you to the utmost of your power maintain in the Abalonian Kingdom established by law? Will you maintain and preserve inviolably the settlement of the  doctrine, worship, discipline, and government thereof, as by law established in Abalone? And will you preserve unto the Bishops of Abalone, and to the Sanctuary there committed to their charge, all such rights and privileges, as by law do or shall appertain to them or any of them?


CaptainGabrieleStoro: "Yes I will."

ValoraRaven: Moving form the podium the Arch Bishop would make her way and stand before the Queen with a Ring incrested with the signate of Abalone on it. Placing it on the Queens forth finger. " All Rise"

CaptainGabrieleStoro: -the ring is placed and she let out a long breath -

ValoraRaven: "Is there any among you who will ally with Queen GAbriele today. Please repeat after me " I pledge my support to Queen Gabriele and in return hers to me, and should I or her betray such a pledge, the union between us shall remain broken unless other arrangements shall be made"
GEDakotaKHSpiritFire: -stands speaking- I pledge my support to Queen Gabriele and in return hers to me, and should I or her betray such a pledge, the union between us shall remain broken unless other arrangements shall be made

Guest_CJBUSHA: -He rises from his seat looking onward with his soft blue eyes with a rather shimmering smile - I pledge my support to Queen Gabriele and in return hers to me, and should I or her betray such a pledge, the union between us shall remain broken unless other arrangements shall be made
Guest_LilAzureMoon: -Selene stands up as gracefully as she can in the heels that her maid had deemed appropriate for a human woman to seem attractive. She winces as they pinch her toes but stands tall and repeats after the Arch Bishop-  I pledge my support to Queen Gabriele and in return hers to me, and should I or her betray such a pledge, the union between us shall remain broken unless other arrangements shall be made"
CaptainGabrieleStoro: -she smiles nodding to them-
GdsRoseCelticDragon: smiles-
KalistaSerenityAilae: She stood slowly, resting a hand upon her stomach. She was not sure if she should say the pledge but knew it would be good to make strong alliances now, even while her home was in the begining stages of being rebuilt. Hesitantly she spoke. "I pledge my support to Queen Gabriele and in return hers to me, and should I or her betray such a pledge, the union between us shall remain broken unless other arrangements shall be made"
IHEKrystalNightStar: smiles~
ValoraRaven: " I present to you Your Majesty Queen Gabriele Storo.... Long Live the Queen"
ValoraRaven: i must go afk to make dinner
PrcsAdalinNightStar: Long Live the Queen!
CaptainGabrieleStoro: -She would stand being mindful of her garments and smile looking from each one to the other-

Guest_CJBUSHA: larga vida a la reina,  Vive la reine.vivat regina ,long live the queen!!!, -His voice seemed to be much stronger then he normally spoke as he lifted his fist in the air to celebrate in a roaring fashion-

Guest_LilAzureMoon: -Selene raises an elegant brow but just quietly smiles as she thinks to herself- Change is coming...

CaptainGabrieleStoro: As my second order as Queen I appoint Red As Dutchess over Iborelian and to my attention as the war has left Afaregon withput a leader. I duely appoint Lilith Domenta as Queen , may her coronation be as grand as mine. I want to thank you all for coming , we will now celebrate and meet one another.

CaptainGabrieleStoro: -she smiles and takes it and says to the brielliant child, " Thank you sweety"

KalistaSerenityAilae: Looking to Reaper she smiled softly leaning in to whisper to him. "Walk with me to meet the new queen?"

Guest_LilAzureMoon: -Selene, wishing to talk to the queen, makes her way to the new ruler but stops when a small little child gets there first. She waits for her turn-

PrcsAdalinNightStar: -Adalin would blush at the moment raising her dres over her face to hide her blush-

OnyxReaperDragonsoul: ~Nodding he hands out his hand and helps Kalista up~ Gladly my lady.

CaptainGabrieleStoro: -she smelled her flower and smiled -

Guest_LilAzureMoon: -Seeing the child's actions, Selene lets out a uncharacteristically girly laugh-

KalistaSerenityAilae: -She takes his hand soflty and stands up slowly, resting a hand on her growing belly. Continue to hold her hand in his she made her way to stand in a growing line in front of the new queen, awaiting her turn to meet her.

OnyxReaperDragonsoul: ~Smiles as Reaper sees the child handing a flower to the new queen~

PrcsAdalinNightStar: -uncovering her face knowing she is no longer red in the face she runs back to her seat-

Guest_LilAzureMoon: -Stepping to stand before the queen, Selene curtsies low- Your majesty. I wish to congratulate you and may your reign be a long and prosperous one.

IHEKrystalNightStar: ~Bows~

CaptainGabrieleStoro: -nods to them " thank you "

NikoZanshinChi: -He smiles widely as the Queen calls him out as her fiance, he nodded at everyone and back at her, with a big happy smile on his face-

Guest_LilAzureMoon: -Selene frowns in confusion but hides it immediately, curtsying once more before stepping to the side- Shall I come back later to speak about that with you, your majesty?

KalistaSerenityAilae: She awaited patiently until ti was her turn to speak to the new queen. She smiled as she watched the child and the woman before her, and smiled more to Reaper's words whispering back to her. "She is lucky as it seems she has many supporters around her." Hearing the new Queen say for her to come forward, she walks gracefully before her, bowing her head to her. "Congratulations on your Coronation. May you have a long and prospurous reign. Please allow me to introduce myself, I am Empress Kalista from the Lands and Houses known as Ailae."

CaptainGabrieleStoro: -she smiles seeing all the many faces. To the woman known as Kalista, "It is an honor to meet you. I have yet to travel the world as much as my ancestors but I would love to visit your lands soon. Thank you for your support "

CaptainGabrieleStoro: "Blessing to you Sir Reaper, I would also love to visit your lands. It will be a voyage worthy of travel. What are dragons?" she tilted her head at the name-

PrcsAdalinNightStar: -looks around knowing that she spoken to loud looking at her momma she makes a run for it slipping through all the people she dives under the new Queens dress and hides there where she knows she will never be found-

KalistaSerenityAilae: She smiled softly to the queen. "I look forward to you possibly visiting us though we are in the process of rebuilding. Your lands are as lovely as you are Your Majesty." She took a step aside smiling, hoping in time she could speak more with the new Queen. She awaited REaper to finish his conversation with her.

KalistaSerenityAilae: -*

CaptainGabrieleStoro: -is a bit suprised as the child runs under her dress .. " umm my dear?" she looked out at the people and managed to lift the little one out-


Guest_LilAzureMoon: -Selene's eyes widen. She quickly inhales and almost stumbles- Your majesty, are you sure? I am merely a mermaid with no status or true power.

OnyxReaperDragonsoul: ~Smiling to the new Queen Reaper responds~ They are fearsome creatures my Queen. Ever should you never see one in full for they are not very...sociable creatures.

GEMysticKHSpiritFire: - she would stand in line to meet the new queen . - " Congratulations on your Coronation from The SpiritFire Dynasty and KH Celtic Dragon Dynasty. May you have a long and prosperous reign."

CaptainGabrieleStoro: -she would look to the women again " My dear you are the only one i could think of for such a thing. You carry yourself so well. Would you do me the honor or bowing for me to raise my septor over you."

CaptainGabrieleStoro: -she hears about dragons and almost wants to not believe him , though after everything her crew had been through she said to him," Sir, it would be an honor to see one , in my life time."

Guest_LilAzureMoon: -Selene can feel tears pricking her eyes and she lowers her head bowing respectfully before the queen- Your majesty, I, Selene Thalin, shall do my best to aid and support your rule.

OnyxReaperDragonsoul: ~Bowing his head to her as he smiles~ Then maybe one day you shall my Queen. ~As he looks back up his eyes begin to glow a bright teal blue~

CaptainGabrieleStoro: -she stands raising her septor above her head and says " I Gabriele, anoint Selena Thalin, to Arch Dutchess over the 10 islands of Abalone. Now rise Arch Dutchess of Abalone."

PrcsAdalinNightStar: -she gasps in surprise as she see's the mans eye turn a teal blue she congratulates the new Queen ones again and finds her a nice dark coner to sit in-

Guest_LilAzureMoon: -Rising unsteadily in her heels, Selene presses a fist over where her double heart beats- Thank you, my queen. I am forever in your debt.

KalistaSerenityAilae: Kalista smiled as she watched all that was transpiring before her, resting a hand upon her stomach she took a few steps away, admiring the room and looking to the others who filled it. She walked over to a pillar, standing near it-
