Episode 1: The Ascension
Legend says of an island in the sky that can only be reached to those of the bravest souls and smartest minds, in recent years those legends have been diminished into truth as the island of the sky was known as the land of Skypiea, home of a humanoid species born with wings of different varieties. Most days in this kingdom within the sky were just like any normal kingdom with workers doing their job, knights to protect it, and the higher nobility running it all from the shadows, however, today of all days was by far not a normal day for this fair kingdom in the sky.
- Sunrise over the castle:
In the faithful kingdom of Skypiea, the sun had not yet risen high into the air, the city below still resting peacefully waiting for daylight to approach. Children slumbering as they peacefully dreamed of the future, teens with their spirits alit for adventure and discovery, and adults mumbling in their sleep about the tasks they were to undertake that day. For the citizens, everything was as it should be before sunrise but for those residing in the castle that stood in the center of the city it was bustling with life as maids, butlers and workers alike prepared for the most special of occasions, the crowning of a new king. To some, this was a very special and joyous occasion that should be celebrated with the utmost happiness, but to others, this was a tragedy in disguise.
From within one of the castles spire's was a room finely designed in the history of skypiea, if one opened the door or looked through the window they would be meant with a woman of raven black hair with purple streaks in her hair wearing nothing but a long nightdress that concealed her body as she looked out with a melancholy look plastered on her face outside the window watching the sunrise from the east, her unique hair is the symbol of the house of Du'var, a noble family within Skypiea dedicated and hailed for their long line of members chosen for being the king and queens personal advisors for ruling the kingdom.
Today was meant to be a special day for her family as the oldest member she was to be ascended into the king's throne along with the new ruler as his personal advisor, however, this day was not a normal event. Just a month earlier the old king and her father the advisor were going about their usual business discussing the affairs of the kingdom, suddenly with a loud war the walls of the castle were busted down and the culprits were marine forces. Not to long before this the king had cut off connections with the world government making their arrival sudden and unwelcomed, as the king and his advisor set out to deal with this unexpected guest they were taken into custody immediately and hailed as criminals under the flag of the world government and sentenced to death for there illegal crimes right in the throne room which brought about this new crowning of a king and his personal advisor.
Upon the sun finally rising high into the sky there would be several knocks on the door by attendants or a second and then they rudely proceeded into her room stating it was time for them to prepare her for the ascension ceremony, Perila did in no way enjoy this ceremony as it was based on a lie and the blood of two good innocent men who loved their kingdom, but what choice did she have? Defying this ceremony meant defying the very kingdom as well as tarnishing the family name Du'var leaving her little choice in the matter.
Surrendering to the attendants advances of preparation she slowly made her way off the bed while several maids followed her into her rooms private bathroom where they scrubbed her body down everywhere and dried her off placing her into a frilly yet refined dress of white and black with a red slash in the middle, they then sat her down onto a darkened oak stool with red square cushioning as they applied light makeup as well as brushing her hair into her natural caramel balayage bob hairstyle she started sporting just recently, within nearly an hour and a half she held the look of someone ready to achieve their natural birthright but carried the attitude and face of someone who wanted to crawl back into bed and do nothing but sleep the day away.
