No Place to Go

[Himitsu]

Himitsu lay at the foot of her bed, eyes staring blankly at the ceiling. Hoshi and Ruu were sleeping on her pillow, tired after a long day of fooling around. As always, Ruu only wanted to play, and Hoshi spent his day trying to keep the baby dragon in line. Exhausted, the two of them had collapsed on the princess's pillow, and fell into a deep sleep, leaving Himitsu alone. She had no idea where her brothers had wandered off to, and now found herself bored.

The princess stood, stretching her arms above her head, a bit stiff from lying for a while. Careful not to wake the two sleeping advisers on her bed, she slipped silently out of her room. Himitsu decided that she'd go for a walk. Not exactly having an idea of where she wanted to go, she figured she would simply walk until she got bored, or found someplace interesting to go. Either or, whichever came first.

Exiting through the castle gates, she made her way down the empty streets of the town. The sun was setting, so she figured everyone was inside with their families. Either that, or they were afraid of the few Dark Ones that were roaming the town. Himitsu hummed quietly to herself, walking carelessly down the streets with her hands behind her back.

[Ngana]

Ngana turned the corner and found herself... on a street that looked rather similar to the one behind her. Cities... She thought. I've never liked them. There was no one else around and it was rapidly getting dark. At this rate, Ngana would be unable to return home. And I've got to cook dinner too. Sighing, she set off, going over instructions on how to get home once again.

The owners of the bar Ngana worked at were very nice, despite the fact they lived in the Hood. She took to them almost immediately, even though it was a policy of hers not to trust anyone so easily. She trusted and followed the instructions they gave her, but she was still lost. Not something that she'd admit; Ngana had a lot of pride. It would kill her to even ask someone for directions. Well, maybe not, but she'd definitely be punching holes in the wall when she got home.

Angry, Ngana picked up the pace. She turned another corner, certain that she was on the right track... and suddenly bumped into someone. Ngana grunted before looking up. She froze. In front of her was a teenage-looking girl with light purple hair who was wearing a dress. She caught a glimpse of what seemed to be a tail and black ... Wings?
