The kingdom of Trovell was known for being a cruel and barbarous land, as was its ruler, Johnathan Dracus. The man was ruthless to all who resided in his kingdom. His wife, Jane, was no different. During their reign they had three children. The first was a daughter named Coraline, who would eventually inherit the throne. The next was a boy they named Isaac. Shortly after Isaac was their youngest daughter, Skyler. It was no surprise that the king and queen raised their children to be just as cold and indifferent as they were. Coraline was a natural, easily picking up every lesson she learned and every barbaric rule. She was a natural leader which pleased the king. Isaac was a loyal follower, obeying every rule without question and without a conscious thought for his actions. The youngest of the three, however, was different. Skyler Dracus was not cruel or vicious by nature. She was kind to her people and showed compassion. The king and queen began to notice and began to restrict her access to the outside world. When she attended the courts or any family business, she was to remain silent and obey. Which she faithfully did throughout her childhood.<br/><br/>Soon after Skye's eighteenth birthday, her mother passed from an unknown disease. The king was distraught and began spiraling, quickly loosing his mind. This delighted Coraline, the oldest daughter, as she knew it was a matter of time before he passed and she alone completely ruled. Isaac, who had become a the greatest knight in the kingdom, had his own plan for when his father died. He had his eyes on a neighboring princess, and was willing to go to war for her, but his father forbid it, claiming it was a waste of resources and men. So the two oldest children plotted against the old king, as they felt he wasn't dying fast enough. They created a plan and when the time was right, they poisened the king. It was officially reported that the king died of grief, but Skyler, who was forced to watch from the shadows, knew otherwise. Coraline was now officially the queen of Trovell, and she gave her blessing to her brother, who immediately began recruiting for the war to come. The kingdom was in an organized chaos, Coraline being the orginizrd leader she was. More people starved, more died. More people committed themselves to the queens army, haveing no other way to provide for their families.<br/><br/>Of course every kingdom has its rebels. Trovell was no different. Rumors spread of an organization that was raised to bring down the Dracus family. The cruel and barbaric queen had to be stopped. But at that point, the only thing they could do was support each other and make trouble for the royal family, as they weren't strong enough to completely topple the family. It soon reached the ears of the Dracus' that there was a rebel group, and it soon became a small civil war in the kingdom. Skye of course heard about it but felt too trapped by her loyalty to her family to act. Of course everyone has their breaking point.<br/><br/>One day, during the royal court where they pretended to listen to the problem of the people, it was brought to the queens attention that one of the maids was carrying the rebel colors. This maid happened to be a childhood friend of Skye's. As the pleas were heard tears were shed, Skye silently sent a prayer to the gods for help for the poor girl. But they went unanswered as Isaac stept forward and executed the woman in the court. Skye finally broke, screaming and yelling at her brother, cursing his name. Corline tried to keep order, but Skye continued to onslaught of harsh words and curses. Corline attempted to control her sister by wrapping her arms around Skye. But Skye swung around and scratched Coraline. The queen looked up at her sisters face, her cheek bleeding slightly. "Skyler Dracus, I banish you from this castle and I wash you from the royal name. Get her out of my sight!" She snarled, going back to her seat. The men quickly took Skye and threw her out of the castle. Isaac looked as if, for the first time, he was going to intervine. "Coraline, why would you do that? She's now free to help the rebels. What if she's the rallying point they need?" He asked hestinatly. Coraline just smirked in that famous Dracus way. "No worries. No one will help her. She's a Dracus. She's more of an outcast out there than she ever was here." Isaac nodded and returned to his post.<br/><br/>Skye fell face first into the mud outside. The guards laughed, stripping her of her royal robes and throwing rags onto her body. Skye sat up, wiping mud and tears from her eyes. She put on the rags and began to walk aimlessly. Coraline was right of course, nobody would help a Dracus. But most people outside the main city really didn't know who she was, as she was kept secluded from society even after her fathers death. She wondered through the kingdom without really thinking, until one night, she heard a rumor of the rebels. She also heard of a rogue member, who seemed to take great pleasure in making the royal family's life a living hell. They were such a nucience that Skye remembered even hearing the name in the courts. And idea popped into her head. It wasn't much, not even a real plan. But she just knew she need to find this rogue. Maybe somehow it would help bring down her sister. It was an odd concept, nor something she ever really thought about. Loyalty was everything to Skye. But she knew there was no other choice.
