Story of the Half-Wits & their King [ 1 vz 1 vz 1 RP ]

For many eons, the King had lived atop his sacred Temple, with his many Mates, and his Grand Summons. At this point in time however, his beloved Queen, and most respected mate, had died, giving birth to a set of Half-Wit Twins, that better came from the King's Twin Angelic mates. Infected by the King with the Sin Plague while growing within the womb, one of the twin Half-Wits, had taken on many of the King's attributes. And so, their twin Fathers (Christopher and Salvation, who, for the time, had been merged in one body together), would call him Maliki. After King Melvin. 


The other Half-Wit, who had taken the better parts of Christopher's side, with some of Salvation's tendencies, would later be named Ryou. Both of them having one blue eye, and another eye of red. Blue being from Raphiella Azure (their mother), and red, from their dominant Father (Salvation). Their wings, would be slightly larger than most Half-Wits, thanks to Christopher and Salvation, who were Long-Wing Angels. Maliki's wings would be larger however, due to the fact he'd taken on a more dominant persona and appearance.


After the twin Half-Wits were birthed, Salvation and Christopher - had taken separate forms, by the glory of one of the King's many Artifacts. Together the two Angels would serve their King, whilst Salvation, took it upon himself to raise those Half-Wits, into the King's perfect Servants. Once he thought they were ready, Salvation took Christopher into the Abyss, which was Oblivion, to search for the appropriate necessities to bring back their Hybrid mother, Raphiella. Together, they would do what the sitting King was unable to, while his job continued. Which was to maintain the Great Scale of Balance and power.


Ryou and Maliki were older now. Aged until they resembled some kind of 'teenager'/'juvenile' Half-Wits. They were capped off in power thanks to the Scale, forbade from their forms getting any older, and forbade from their power growing any stronger. Together they would be hated on, as Half-Wits were the most hated of creatures in all Worlds of existence. But they would be viewed by the Kingdom with complete and utter respect, only due to the fact that they came from the Highest of Powers, and because they were Mates of their great King, who was a Tyrant above all. Maliki and Ryou were not allowed to leave the Temple, though many a time, the two had snuck off. Usually to help someone within the Kingdom, though it wasn't recommended because others from outside the Kingdom - would have a shot at stealing them. Which would eventually become Maliki's fate - which was, a story for another time...

- The Story of the Half-Wits and their King -

The King tossed and turned for quite some time, before he decided to get out of bed to wander. His long, pointed ears flared upwards against his head, almost in pure instinct, as he followed the red carpeting down the hall. Never before had he slept alone, but his God and Twin Angels, had important things to do to ensure the stature of his Kingdom. As the sharp talon-feet gouged into the flooring as the beast wandered through his castle, a lengthy weapon of war slithered through the air behind him. It was his tail. Wavering, and steadily wandering side to side, the limb seemed to only move on its own without the King even paying attention.

As the Tyrant reached the end of the corridor, he reached only to the right of the twin double-doors, to grasp a large torch that had been lighting up the wooden doorway. Smirking, the King took a steady breath, and shoved open the two large doors. There before his frightening crystal-blue eyes, was another room, one lonely room, which dark inside. The King took a step forwards, his eyes flashing as he looked around, the torch high in the air, tightly grasped with his right clawed hand. 

When the King entered the room, it was rather easy to see what he looked like. His chest was completely bare and humanoid-looking, his back just thicker and sturdier where his large leathery black wings came from. His ears were almost wolf-looking, just thick, and leathery much like his wings. They were a light tan color, like most of his skin was. Raging blue eyes were seen glowing against the dark, up until where his feet were, which seemed to vanish into the shadows from him being so dark from the knees down. And much like his strange feet, his clawed hands also found a profound dark tint to them, it obvious that the shadows had claimed the King eons ago.

The last part of the King, was actually not mentioned. His shooting and glowing - blue hair actually. Much like his eyes, his hair took on a similar glow, that radiated within his hair follicles, and seemed to emanate some odd sense of power as if it were faintly stored inside. His hair seemed to pulse with life as the King continued to walk into the Throne Room, his jet-black tail, the last thing to enter such a ravish-looking place. There, Black Knights stood in silence, until the King sat down, and then all of the torches from around the room, instantly ignited. The room was lit up, and a single Knight approached the King, took his torched, then bowed accordingly. He stood up straight and walked off, to stand at attention like the others. All was silent. But somewhere in the Castle, at the top of one of the Four Towers, the Half-Wits, were waking. At the back of the Castle, to the left, was Maliki's Tower. And, to the right, was Ryou's. King Melvin's Angelic Twins had the front right Tower, and his God, Raphiella, had her abandoned one on the front Left. 

The King shoved his tail into the base of the Throne Room flooring, which was connected to the network that plagued his Castle, that sat the the top of his Temple, where the Scale had allowed it to be. Loosing his sight, the Tyrant began to sync with the Balance, his tail stimulating the connection, and relieving him of movement. His subconscious however, would surely know - if anyone dared enter that Throne Room.

Maliki opened his eyes, to see that his room was lit up with a single torch. His room was rather dark, something he had grown up accustomed to. Even during the daylight hours, the Castle, and outer-lying area around it, was constantly shrouded in darkness. The Kingdom itself was dark too, the sun never really shining through all of the ashes that constantly fell from the black clouds above. After the suns set around the Kingdom though, it was pitch black out. The Black Knights would come out and make sure no one was outside, or they were punished.

The Twins were raised to never leave the confines of the Castle.

I uh, wonder what Ryou's doing. Bored, bored bored, yeeeeep. Maliki thought to himself. He looked around, and found his clothing, then made sure his body was covered up. He wore all-black. A cloak, black long-shirt, pants, no shoes. His wings folded, he made his way to his brother's Tower.

Still half asleep, Ryou was sat up in his bed trying to wake up the rest of the way so he would be able to function properly. He had never been good at waking up. His own room, lit by also a single torch, and was also rather dark. He hated it. That was one thing he could never really get over completely, the darkness of everything, It just freaked him out sometimes. Though of course he had grown up with it, so he dealt with it and soon was able to live in it somewhat comfortably.

Rubbing his eyes, he still sat in a mess of blankets and pillows. Wearing what he had worn to bed, shorts and a long sleeved shirt. He swung his legs over the side of the bed and made his way to stand up and begin to get ready. His hair fell past his shoulders in a mess and tangled. "... It's to early.."

Maliki tripped over one of the guards standing just outside his door. He looked up from where he was sitting, on his ass - yep. He'd made a proper ass of himself! Of course. Maliki dusted himself off, and got to his feet again.

"Uh...sorry...." He muttered and then he wandered further down the halls.

Embarrassment surely set into him. Shaking his head, he moved down the corridor, then took a torch from the wall where it was too dark. He could feel the red velvet carpet beneath his bare feet. Swallowing... the Half-Wit moved past more Black Knights. They sure did a good job of looking scary as fuck.

Maliki came to his brother's door, and lightly knocked on it. "Ryou? You in there? I kinda wanna do stuff. I cannot sleep ne'more and it's light out - out there!" He whispered, his lips like kissing the door almost from saying it.

Behind him, a Black Knight stood in silence, probably rolling his eyes at the idiot.

Ryou had pulled on a pair of pants, a white pair, and kept the shirt he had been sleeping in on. Which happened to be stripped white and black. He had also managed to fix his hair, somewhat, and had just went back to laying on the bed, feet in the air behind him.

When he heard the knock at his door, he almost instantly shot up off the bed and made his way over, listening to the voice of his brother drift into his room. Opening the door he gave a smile and spoke "I couldn't sleep anymore either... But what did you have in mind of doing?.." he asked with a slight tilt of his head. He always did enjoy spending time with Maliki, it was always fun and just, a good way to kill time.

He stood barefoot in the door frame, looking at the black knight and then back to Maliki again.

Maliki scratched his head. He knew that leaving the Kingdom was forbidden... but he was a kid. And kids didn't exactly listen to their parents... who weren't, like, around or anything. So why not right?

"We should go to uh, out in town yes! Could be fun. I thinks. I mean, long as we're back before The Dark Time, I think we would be okay. What do you say Ryou?" Maliki grinned and his eyes glowed brightly. "The King is having his Scale time, so he is not to pay attention to us now anyways. We must entertain ourselves yes!" He said in a hushed voice.

Knowing that if they were caught, they wold more than likely be scolded, and then it was forbidden to leave, Ryou thought for a moment, biting his lip. They could be back before nightfall right? Yeah of course they could.

".. Hmm, Yeah.. I think we should. As long as we don;t get caught, I mean we should be fine as long as that doesn't happen" He nodded and scratched his arm, his own eyes glowing and voice soft, "We just need to be sneaky..and this is so we don't get bored. "He didn't like being bored, because when he was the time went by slower and he had a habit of going to bug who ever he could to be unbored.

Meanwhile....

The King began to get flashes of information. From the Past, bits of the Present, and things of the Future. He could not understand it all, and his thoughts rushed along with the grave imagery that was drawn from the Scale, and placed into the King's mind. He looked through the information, and tried to force his mind to calm the rush. He was currently searching for someone, using the Scale beneath his Temple, that was part of the Temple - as a locator.

For eons he would long for his God's return. No one could compare to her, and without her, he tended to feel lost, and strangely lost in a daze that rarely passed him by.

Locating the Twin Angels, that was surely in Oblivion, bowels and Rings beneath their lair, he watched them move, and locate artifacts of Ancient power. Artifacts, that if used properly, if sacrificed correctly, would surely bring their King the might and power required to bring Raphiella back to him.

Find me what I need. He thought to them, knowing that they would possibly not hear his voice.

"Okay then we shall!" Maliki exclaimed bravely. He grabbed onto his brother's hand, and began to lead him down the corridor, to the front of the Castle.

Together, they would have to use the hidden trap door to the dungeon, to go beneath the Throne Room, then up and out of the front of the Castle. Were they to disturb the King - the trouble they would be in... would be catastrophic. So they headed through the dark, Maliki running alongside Ryou with a bright torch. When they made it to the trap door, Maliki crouched down and pointed at it.

"Okay, I'll hold the torch while you pull this open. Buuuut shhhh be quiet.... No guards here but we can still get caught you know." He said, covering his lips with his black claws. "Oh and watch your wings too."

He grinned a bit, following along side the other, his body keeping up and excited to go while his mind was still hesitant. He ignored the protests in his thoughts and continued on.
Trusting himself and his brother not to be caught, he noddes at the instructions and knealt down beside the trap door and began to lift it open. He kept quiet while doing so, his wings tucked in behind his back as the door was lifted up all the way, easy access. Turning his head he looked up at the other with a grin. "Okay, since you have the torch ...you should go in first...lead the way" came Ryou's whispered voice. Movibg to the side slightly, he made room for the other to go first, hoping that no guards would walk by at all.

Maliki quickly looked around. No sign of anyone but them, which was good for them surely. He grinned at his twin brother, and then folded his wings around his body tight.

Winking, and holding the torch, Maliki then JUMPED down into the darkness and fell through the hole in the ground, at the last second spreading his wings out, and landing perfect. Laughing he held the torch up..

"I think I did good, c'mon do the same yes!?" He whispered, straining his voice to his brother. He gazed around. They were in a corridor that was total darkness. "Bring the map with, yeah." He hissed, flicking his shorter-like, bushy dragon-wolf tail.

He watched what his brother did, and bit his lip as he stood up, wrapping his own wings tighter around himself to make sure they didn't get caught on anything on the way down. Taking a breath he made sure that the map was tight in his hand before carefully jumping down the hole and falling through the dark.

Letting his wings out, he landed, tripping and stumbling forward, though caught his balance before he managed to fall on his face. Yup, Ryou had skill. Kinda...

He held up the map "Well, that went smoothly!" He smiled at his brother, looking around the corridor, trying to get a look at the area around them. "Good thing we have the torch.. "

The King sat mindlessly in a daze, flicking his strong black tail back and fourth. Somewhere in his subconscious, he could sense movement and energy within the Castle, from his two mates. Due to the nature of the connection he had with the Scale however, until separated from it, he wasn't able to pinpoint exactly where they were.

Connecting with such a powerful force was absolutely astounding, and mind-blowing in some ways. To think that something created from such a force, was able to sync up with it, was amazing in itself. The King's tail was long, and powerful, but it had something located inside - that made it rather special so to speak. For, at the tip of the powerful weapon, was actually something that told the Scale that this was the subject it needed to pump out energy.

It was like a microchip, that hooked up into the base, so that the "network" was able to connect. Almost like a jump drive (more commonly known as the USB drive), being hooked up to a massive Server Computer (in this case the Scale acting as a computer), and then the computer giving off a WiFi of sorts (in this case, the Scale releasing energy) - to connect to every living creature ever created. Aside from the Outer Rim.

King Melvin, was the key, to the whole thing. And such was his curse for all eternity.

Maliki snickered and laughed at Ryou, then reached down and pulled him up to his feet.

"You're so klutzy brother, such is nothing new here." He say with a laugh. Together they looked around, then Maliki held the torch up nearest the map. Not close enough to burn it though. That might of been stupid. "Oh-ho! I think we have to go... uh left... and then I think down that way, and right again, then forwards? Woha. We goin' through the scary dungeon where the captives'n stuff are...." He whispered carefully.

Maliki looked at his brother and asked him if he was ready for this.

Rolling his eyes at his brothers laughter he held open the map. It was of course nothing new, him falling or being klutz of course, almost a daily routine. "yeah, I know am.. "

"The captives eh? ... Well then, we'll just have to be careful that a commotion doesn't start up.. if it were, it would alert the guards.." That would be bad, not only would it cause a commotion, they might get caught as well. Not to mention they would be walking pas captives who would have no problem harming the two of them if the chance arose.

He looked back, and while biting the inside of his lip softly with his pointed canines, he nodded "lets go.."

Biting his lip he squeezed the others hand back, sticking close to him, not enjoying the stares they were receiving much either. "um... why they do it? Well.. I could only assume that they're curious... or.. angry?" he sounded uncertain in his guesses as he whispered back.

He was thankful they were all chained and locked up, un-able to get to them. He looked over at them, biting st his lip softly, continuing to walk.

He blinked and listened around them for a moment "..All I hear is nothing and a bit of breathing..." The usual stuff that one would hear. "What are you talking about?.." he asked tilting his head, a little bit worried now.
