(Once again. >.>; )

The imposing castle loomed over the shadowy edges of the Bitlands, as it usually did...at least, when the forces lurking inside it wanted you to be able to see it clearly. But tonight, the moon had a faint reddish tinge and the misty woods had cleared, so the path leading up to the high stone walls and wrought-iron gate was open.

Up in one of the many towers (hey, demon or not, ravens like high places), the new 'special guest' of the Raven Princess had been accommodated. Olivia would wake up in what seemed to be every little girl's dream room: canopy bed, a chest full of toys, stuffed dolls and high windows...Of course, with the usual raven touches. Everything was sparkling and exquisite, to be sure, but it was all black and feathered, and all slightly chilly. The stuffed dolls were teddy crows rather than teddy bears, and the windows showed more of the birds darting about on stained glass.

Olivia sleepily stood out of the bed, grinning tiredly and looking at everything she could lay her eyes on with an irresistible urge to play with it.

"Hehe..."

If Olivia looked down at herself, she would notice she had been given an old-fashioned black satin nightgown, complete with a lacy collar and shiny little buttons. A feathered clasp on her chest shone deep red.

Twytch · Ocelot

She had inherited her 'father's' fashion sense, twirling once in her nightgown and staring at the 'pretty red thingy' on her chest. She grabbed one of the stuffed ravens, hugging it tightly but with a slow, fatigued sort of look to her...

Eventually, there was a rattling knock by bone-thin knuckles, and the door opened to reveal a raven-man in a servant's uniform. He even had a towel draped over his arm.

Twytch · Ocelot

She gaped in awe at the raven-human hominid, dropping the doll and craning her neck to look at him.

It cawed several times, the calls becoming increasingly deeper as it did, until it made a swallowing motion and seemed to speak in a raspy semblance of a human voice.

"Your sister would like to see you."

Twytch · Ocelot

Her eye's widened, a grin appearing on her face.

"M-my sister? The princess?" she asked, not believing but equally excited. "Let's go!"

The raven-man nodded, and stepped aside to let her exit the bedroom.

Twytch · Ocelot

She followed, not sure if it was all a dream or actually happening to her. Olivia marveled at the "beautiful" construction of the castle, following the raven man.

Soon, they had reached a dining room. The table was covered in fine china, but the plates were all empty. There were several more raven servants bustling about, but only one chair was occupied...by a familiar young woman. She stood and knelt down, offering her arms to hug Olivia.

"Did you sleep well, little sister?"

Twytch · Ocelot

Olivia stuttered wildly, before simply resorting to hug Kraehe and bury her head into her tutu.

"I... " she tried to tell Kraehe, but instead continued hugging her.

"It's okay to be a little flustered. You've gone through a lot lately, haven't you? My poor little sister...It's good to have you back."

Captain Blue · Blue Eyes wins.

Ebony knew his place. He stood outside of the castle, just to make sure nobody would meddle in Kraehe's affairs. At this point, it's all he could do without getting thrown out by the ravens, who still hadn't forgiven him for Cedric.

Twytch · Ocelot

She continued to smile, letting go of her sister and giggling.

"If we're princesses... Where's the king?" she asked excitedly.
