[IC]My Secret Is Also Your Secret [PG-13]

[Magic]

This is Rated PG-13 for some foul language, gore, romance, and a little sexual content.

For centuries mystical creatures of all description were gathered into a secret hidden refuge preserve called Bayern to prevent their extinction. The sanctuary survives today as one of the last strongholds of true magic. Enchanting? Absolutely. Exciting? You bet. Safe? Well, actually, quite the opposite.

Spoiler: The Story 

Spoiler: Background 

There is a secret nature preserve protecting beings of myth and legend from the outside world. The caretaker of Bayern, Stan Sorenson, describes it as "a refuge for mystical creatures". Those who live in this large sanctuary, mortal and magical, must abide by a treaty of rules. The most common rules are focused upon "the law of the harvest" or "the law of retribution" meaning, you reap what you sow. It is describe as, "mischief for mischief, trouble for trouble, magic for magic." If this law in the treaty is broken, you lose the magical protection it provides, allowing the creatures roam free around the world. There also exist magical borders that keep most mystical creatures within the preserve, but out of certain domains. The caretaker's house and grounds are within one of these protective boundaries. However, some of these borders dissolve on certain nights, allowing frightening creatures to roam free on the grounds, like, Winter Eve, MidSummer Eve, The Night of the Dead, and many more...

Spoiler: So? What's Going On? 

The Caretaker is now dead... murdered... By a group of Mystical Creature. In fact, The Caretaker's family that also lives in the preserve was also murdered. Why? When? How did this happen? Well, we only know that this happened on a Midsummer Eve, when all the creatures roam free...

Well... One family member of the preserve doesn't live with the Caretaker anymore. She was the Caretaker's daughter. She didn't want to be part of the Caretaker family anymore and she left the preserve when she was 18 years old. The Reason? We have no idea... The daughter had a family of her own, She never told her two children about their grandparents, aunts, or uncles.

The children's parents was going to a buisness trip which would last for a few months and the mother decided to drop them off at Bayern as a last resort. She explain to her two kids that they was visiting their grandparents and to not believe anything they say because they had ''mental'' problems. She didn't want to tell them about the creatures that live at the area. Also, She didn't know that her family was murdered the week before and she drop them off in front of the gates of the preserve Bayern. The children couldn't believe that their grandparent-which they thought they never had-had such a large area of land. They joked to eachother that it could be considered as another country.

They waited in front of the gates for hours and hours, they kept ringing the bell that was by the gates. Finally, three teenagers came towards the gates and told them to go away. The two kids told them that they are here to see their grandparents. The teenagers behind the gates looked at eachother and explained that their grandparents, aunts, and uncles was murdered and they should go back home. The siblings explained to them that they can't because they didn't live anywhere close to their grandparents and to let them inside. The four teenagers finally agreed to let them in but warned them about the dangers in the preserve. The leader of the group of teenagers told his followers to let the kid find out themselves what lives in Bayern...

Spoiler: Why The Four Teenager There? Who Are They? 

Those teenagers aren't normal human teenagers, actually, They aren't even human. They only look human among non-magical creatures. The teenagers are the good creatures of Bayern, and maybe one or two of them was bad but turned good. They called themselves, 'The Conciliators' because they are the ones that tries to make peace among the bad creatures and the good. Right now, They are looking for the murderers and trying to calm down all the good creatures that was freaking out because the Caretaker family was murdered and they have no one to protect them from the evil creatures. The leader named Bracken, knew what was going to happen. The creatures wants to roam free and cause choas to our planet, earth. He believes that they wanted to kill off most of the human species, make them slaves, and torture anyone that gets in their way. To him, this means war and he is gathering up creatures to fight against the bad. Once Bracken found out that the Caretaker's grandchildren was there, he believed that they may help them prevent these things from happening because he notice something magical about these children and he wanted to find out what it is...

Starlina Burning was walking with the four normal teenagers, or what they seem like normal teens. She couldn't believe that her grandparents was murdered! who could do such a thing! She looks around, everything looks like a jungle, or perphaps a rainforest, though it wasn't raining... lucky for them. She kept close wondering what to say. Maybe telling her name would be a good start. She looks at them. "Er... I never told you... My name is Starlina..."

Bracken, the leader of the group, was kinda annoyed that those two kids was there. "yea yea... Nice to meet you..." He didn't bother with names. He always forgets them after a day or two. He looks around hoping that no danger was among them. He didn't want another murder to happen or then it would be chaos...

Kyno was sitting in his favorite tree reviewing the events that passed over the past couple of days. His tail swished back and forth below the tree. The caretaker was murdered. "This does not bode well" he muttered to himself. Kyno was ready to defend himself if the evil creatures attacked him. Kyno moved his hand and his blue eyes flashed green for a moment as a small peice of earth rose up. Kyno played with it moving it back and forth. Soon he got bored and saw four people walking across the main lawn. "Ooo...I wonder if..." he said almost suspensfully then he said louder "they have any yarn" a huge smile spread across his face as he thought about that possibility. He started to sprint across the yard his tail swishing back and forth.

Raikou remained silent for most of the walk. He could not imagine how the children felt about this situation. Then he saw Kyno approaching. Kyno, now is not the time! There is imortant business to attend to! He stare Kyno down, he was ok most of the time, but could get annoying. I will find some cat nip later for you! He then turned to look at the girl who had introduced herself as Starlina. I am very sorry. They were very good people.

[Magic]

Bracken glares at Kyno and Raikou, thinking that they are going to scare both of the children. But he was surprise by her reaction.

"Woah.." She was staring at Kyno's tail. "How in the world you got that?... I want one!" She said thinking it was a little costume. She looks at Raikou and he seen more normal them the others. She slightly frowns. "I wished that I knew who they were... I never met them...and did you said 'cat nip'?" She asked wondering why he said that. Maybe Kyno is a cat lover, and he has to buy cap nip or something.

Bracken crosses his arms, ignoring her. "Raikou. Have you seen any sight of them?" When he said 'them' he clearly means any of the evil creatures. He clearly looks pissed off because they couldn't find any of the murderers.

[crazydawg444]

Raikou looked at Starlina. Um, yes. He has cats but he does not like to go out and buy stuff. He preffers to stay at home. He hoped that it would work. He was saddened to hear that they had never met there grandparents. They always wanted to meet you, tyhey talked about it a lot. When Brachen asked him about "them" He looked around. Well a few shadows here and there, but that could be anything. Ha ha ha! I have not seen anything. Just be patient and all will be revealed soon enough.

[Magic]

Bracken growls. "Dammit... I will be back..." He walks back behind the children and he disappeared into a shadow. He zooms towards the trees and goes far in the forest of Bayern. He was checking to see if everything was undercontrol.

Starlina smiles slightly, she was a bit happy that they did wanted to visit them. She turns around to see where Bracken was going to but he was gone. Like he just vanished in thin air. She shrugs. Maybe he just runs really fast. She turns back around and looks at Raikou. "So... your name is Raikou... that's an interesting name... Um... are you neighbors? or are you just here to be here?" She said trying to get some information from him. She wanted to know why her grandparents was murdered. Maybe if she becomes a friend to Raikou, she would get loads of information.

[crazydawg444]

He looked down at Starlina again. Thank you, Raikou means Lightning in japanese so i really like it. I guess you could call me a nieghbor. Your grandparents owned all the land you see before you and much more. Me and the guy with the tail, and Brachen all live on the property. Your grandparents were very generous. He turned away and started walking. He could tell she was trying to press him for information, he had to be careful not o tell her anything.

[Magic]

"Japanese? really? that is so cool! I like Japan... it's nice there... Have you ever been there before?" Starlina smiles and walks with him. She never really like to talk much but if she really wants to know something, she could get a bit too chatty. "You all live in the property? Are there more? maybe someone here murdered them... don't you think?" She actually have to be careful with them, maybe they was one of the murderers, maybe.

Rozaria was perched atop a tall branch of a tree near the front gate as the breeze carried the scent and presence of humans with it. Ice-cold eyes flashed towards the girl there, a smile of a Cheshire cat below them. Rozaria, being a master of stealth, wasn't noticed at all as she stepped toward the consiliators and the girl. Raikou was conversing with her, but it wasn't like Rozaria cared about it.

"Hey there," Rozaria interrupted the conversation, a million dollar smile on her face. "I'm Rozaria, nice to meet you." She held out a petite hand as she introduced herself, her eyes briefly flashing to the regular, demon-red it originally was.
