So yeah, here's an introduction I had written for the story a while ago (you don't have to go with the name Tristan, its just what I originally came up with haha).
The sweet bells of laughter filled the air as two children play within the safety of the palace garden. Sunlight kissed the freckles of the little princess, whose wild curls veiled her left eye, which was as pale as ice. Her other eye, a dark chocolate brown, sparkled, as she hid from her pursuerβa slightly older boy who was the son of one of the servant girls, and her best friend. Crouching behind an azalea bush, she watched for a glimpse of Tristanβs mop of blonde curls, but furrowed her brows when she failed to spot him. After waiting for several more minutes, the princess stood up, slightly irritated, and placed her hands on her hips.
βTristan?! Where are you?β She exclaimed, her words tinged with worry and frustration. After scouring the garden high and low, she frowned as she could not seem to find her friend. Stuck between feeling worried and angry, the young princess crossed her arms and plopped down on the ground with an exasperated sigh, wondering where Tristan could have gone. It was not like him to abandon her like this. But just as she began to jut out her bottom lip, the princess felt a jab on either side of her waist.
βHere I am!β Tristan shouted, laughing as the princess leaped off the ground and turned to face him.
βTristan!β She yelled angrily as she punched him in the shoulder. βWhere were you?β She demanded of the older boy. He shrugged and gave her a gentle punch back in the shoulder.
βI was hiding too. I wanted to surprise you.β His modest dimples appeared as he tried to calm down his companion with a smile. But that smile quickly disappeared as he realized how upset the princess actually was. He must have really scared her. Tristan placed one hand on the princessβs shoulder and looked her in the eye, βIβm sorry. I shouldnβt have done that.β
The little girl bit her lip and looked up at him with tears welling in her big, mismatched eyes. βTristan, I thought you had left me. I got scared.β
With as serious a look as he could muster, Tristan grabbed the princessβs tiny hands and said, βBrie, I promise that I will never, ever leave you. You are my best friend! Nothing in this world could separate us. Nothing.β
The little princess smiled up at him, feeling much better. She stood up on the tips of her toes and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek, then repeated after him. βNothing.β
But little children have no place making such promises and within only a week, that promise was broken. Young Tristan and his mother were being sent off to work in the castle of a duke whose home lied far north of the castle. Brie was devastated when she learned that she would be losing her best friend. She begged her father, the king, to make Tristan stay, but he convinced her that he could do nothing. What little Brie didnβt know was that her father had transferred his mother, as he did not approve with his daughterβs friendship with the son of a servant. The princess was heartbroken as she was separated from her best friend, but she held on to the idea that Tristan would one day return. But on their way to their new home, Tristanβs carriage was ambushed by murderous thieves, who left no survivorsβ¦
So yeah, Brielle is a princess who is the youngest of three sisters. She has two different colored eyes, and because the people in her kingdom are very superstitious, they pretty much shun her/are scared of her because they think she might be a witch. Her father, the king, makes her wear an eyepatch, which she hates, and whenever she can, she sneaks off to the market place at night to experience the kingdom for herself. One night, she runs into her old childhood best friend, who was apparently rescued by pirates and then raised by them

Brielle laid quietly in bed, waiting for her maid to leave the room. She feigned sleep until she knew the coast was clear, then she gingerly slid out of bed and tip toed across her bedroom to her closet. She bent down and retrieved an old box from the corner of the closet and drug it out onto the floor in front of her, and opened it to reveal the stash of items she'd need to sneak out into the city again. She pulled out a simple grey dress and put it on, then bent down again to put on the boots that accompanied it. Standing up, she turned and looked at herself in the mirror, her figure illuminated by the moonlight streaming through the window. She frowned, smoothing out the wrinkles in the dress as she noticed a dark stain on the front of her skirt. Oh well, she thought, it's all I've got. She stood up straighter then pushed her dark curls off her forehead, eyes widening as she realized she almost forgot her eye-patch. She reached back into the box and picked up a simple brown eye patch, and fastened it over her blue eye.
"There we go," she murmured to herself. Finally, she grabbed the cloak and dagger that remained in the box, and fastened the dagger to her side. She kicked the box back into the closet and put the dark cloak on, pulling the hood over her head so it shadowed her face. Then, she walked over to her open window, took one last look over her shoulder, and climbed quickly down the palace walls, disappearing into the night.

(Going to go with the idea that he was raised by pirates, because I like that idea )
Wilhelm was leisurely strolling the market, looking for something that he could spend his gold on. The ship he resided with was currently docked at the harbor, but all of it's crew were here in the city. The captain had currently paid them and was giving them the night to do as they pleased with the gold that they had just earned. And Will was looking to buy something nice for himself.
The works of a fine blacksmith caught his eye and he went up to his stall. He looked over the many weapons and pieces of armor laid out in front of, but he didn't want just any old piece of metal. He wanted something special. The pieces that were catching his eye at the moment were a dagger with a jewel encrusted hilt and a dagger with the hilt that had a serpent wrapped around it.

(alright sounds good!)
Brie slipped in with the crowd of people streaming into the city. Even though it was late, there was a festival going on, so the city would be alive all night. As she took in all the laughter and sounds of the festivities around her, Brie smiled, longing to join in the fun. She gazed back and forth with her free eye, amazed at all the colorful stalls, filled with all sorts of goods and treasures. But in her amazement, she failed to look right in front of her, and all of the sudden, she ran into a man on her left, who had been examining daggers. Brie stumbled backward, and the hood of her cape fell back, "So sorry!" She exclaimed, looking down at the ground in embarrassment. "I got distracted, and I didn't see you because of my...eye," she explained, gesturing to her eye patch.

Will lost his balance for a quick second and stumbled slightly to get his footing back when someone ran into him. He turned his attention to the said person that ran into him and was about to yell at them and tell them 'to watch where they were going', but he stopped himself when he saw the girl in front of him. "It's quite alright." he said to her with a slight smile. Something about her just seemed so familiar, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

When Brie finally got the courage to look up at the young man she had nearly run over, she let out a gasp. "Will?!" She exclaimed, her visible eye widening in shock. Then she covered her mouth with her hand. There was no way this could be Wilhem, her childhood best friend. It was impossible. Right? "I-I'm sorry," she stuttered, "I thought you were someone..."

Will blinked when she said his name. How could she have known his name? Unless.... But, no, it couldn't be... "Brie?" he questioned as he looked at the girl in front of him. He could see it now, the girl that he knew from all those years ago. His best friend when he was little.

A huge smile lit up Brieβs face, βWill! It is you!β she tackled him with a hug, tears welling up in her eyes. βI thought you had died,β she whispered into his shoulder, still embracing him. She took a deep breath in. He smells like the sea. she thought. βWhere have you been?β she asked, pulling away to look at him. βIβve missed you!β

Will smiled as he hugged her back. "Well I never died, and I'm very much alive." he said to her then looked to her once she pulled away. "I have been at sea." he answered her then he glanced around. "Let's walk, and I'll tell you more." he said to her. He didn't really think the blacksmith would like to hear his life story, or hear that there was pirates in the city.

Brie couldn't stop smiling. She couldn't believe it! He was alive! She looped her arm through his, and nodded, "Very well. Tell me everything!" She said excitedly, not taking her uncovered eye off him.

Will took her arm then started to walk away from the stand. "Alright, I guess I'll start when I left your home with my mother." he started then cleared his throat. "Well I was with my mother and we were heading to our next home. Our carriage was attacked, as I'm sure you already know about, but I was able to get away and unfortunately my mother did not make it. I happened to make my way to a nearby port town, and tried to look for help. And I found help, from some pirates in the area who were looking for a few crew members. They took me under their wing and let me stay on their ship and fed me for work, and I've been there ever since." he explained to her.

Brie stopped walking and turned to look at him in shock. "Pirates?!" She said, with a small gasp. Then she covered her mouth and looked around to make sure no one had heard her. "Are they...here? Right now?" She whispered. The idea both frightened, and excited her. She had never met a pirate before! And now, here stood her own best friend--a pirate! She turned once again to study his face. Will didn't look much like a pirate...in fact, she probably resembled one more herself, with her wretched eye-patch and everything. Although, she wasn't quite sure what a pirate was supposed to look like. She reached up and put her hand on his cheek, "My how you've grown." She said quietly, with a sad smile.

(sorry it's been a few days since I posted, just started up school again and have been busy )
Will gave a nod. "Yes, they are all here right now. Most of the ship's crew should be somewhere in the city." he answered her question as he took a glance around. None of the others seemed to be around this part at the moment. He wondered for a quick second about what the crew would think if they saw him with Brie. The hand placed on his cheek brought him away from his thoughts and he looked to the princess in front of him. He returned her smile and gently placed a hand on top of hers. "I should be saying the same to you."

(it's all good! totally understand. I go back to school next saturday)
Brie blushed and looked down at the ground, letting her hand linger for a moment before she lowered it. She began walking again. "How long are you in the city?" She asked. She wished he would stay forever. He was the only person who had ever truly treated her like a normal girl. Most feared her or hated her because of her eyes, or because she was the daughter of a hated king. If she could leave the palace forever, she would.

Will watched her with a slight smile then let her hand go and followed beside her as she started to walk again. "I'm only probably stating here for a day, I don't really stay in one place for too long." he answered her. His ship never stayed at one place for more than a day or two. They could risk getting seen or caught if they stayed in one place for too long.

At this news, Brie frowned deeply. "Only a day?" She repeated, her heart breaking. She didn't know if she could bear losing him again. "Isn't there any way you could stay?" the princess asked, her mind whirling with thoughts as to how she could keep her best friend here.

Post by anormallife on Jan 19, 2018 16:30:23 GMT -5
Will shook his head. "Not that I know of." he answered her. "The ship is for sure going to leave tomorrow, due to my captain's orders. If I still want to get paid, have a place to stay, and food to eat, then I better be on it when it leaves." he added. Even if it was nice to see Brie again and he didn't want to have to leave her again, he also didn't want to leave everything that he had earned over the years behind.

Brie made a split second decision, praying that it would work out. βTake me with you,β she said, her visible eye begging him to say yes. βPlease. I canβt stand it at the castle anymore. The idea of starting a new lifeβjoining your crew could give me that opportunity. The chance to get far away from here and start over!β she said, without hardly taking a breath in between her words.

Will blinked at her sudden decision. "I don't know..." he started, unsure of how to answer her. "I don't think that would be the best idea." He didn't know if the crew would take too kindly of him bringing a new member aboard the ship. Especially a woman. And he might be charged with kidnapping the princess if she suddenly vanished and someone saw her leaving with him. In his eyes it just seemed like a bad idea in many different ways.

Brie frowned. Why wouldn't he want her to come? She asked herself. But she decided to press the matter, "Please, Will. I feel trapped at the castle...like a captive who cannot be heard or seen. My father hates me. My kingdom fears me. I have no life here!" She said. Then, she decided to take off her eye patch, so he could see both of her eyes. Perhaps seeing her unsettling gaze would help him see why others treated her like some sort of monster. Perhaps he would understand her desperation to leave then. "Look at me," she whispered, her voice shaking. "No one here will ever accept me. Perhaps pirates would be more...accepting of my looks."
