Here's what I've got so far. North= RoadToHell, Gold=Me, and the stranger is a stranger.:P
Easy were his master's words. It's easy to find friends. North used to think this was true. But the past few days spent in this somber kingdom were taking their toll on him. No one would look him in the eyes. The people seemed afraid.
North could understand to a degree. He wasn't human like them, after all. He was an Ancient, a being of immense magical potential. He radiated a magical aura, which could be frightening to those who'd never experienced magic before.
But this was beginning to get ridiculous. These people were ruled by a demon Queen. You'd think they'd have a bit of backbone.
His thoughts were interrupted by the thump of himself running into a stranger. The stranger fell to the ground, and North had to struggle not to fall himself.
Glancing down, the stranger was a man..Well not really. He was only in his teens. He appeared human, but looks could be deceiving. He was slender with dark hair and pale skin.
"Can you watch where you're going?" The guy scowled, standing up and brushing himself off. "Sheesh."
"Uh, sorry." North said, smiling weakly. At least this guy didn't seem afraid of him. "I was just thinking..."
"Think more carefully." The teen hissed, then walked off quickly.
Well, that failed.

After three more hours of wandering the streets, North came across a group of people gathered around a woman. They crowded around her...
North reached for his sword, realizing they were attacking her.
The woman caught his eye, though, and winked. He stopped, confused, then watched as she leaped over their heads, landing next to him easily.
"Time to run~" The woman, who he now realized wasn't much older than the guy he'd met earlier, sang, grabbing his hand and darting down the street.
After successfully evading the mob, they stopped at a fountain. He blinked, looking more closely at the woman. She was dressed in a green and gold dress, with a pair of gold leggings. She wore a circlet of gold around her head, atop her wild brown curls. She also had startlingly feline like green eyes.
"Whatcha staring at~?" She asked, raising an eyebrow. His face turned red, on realizing he'd been staring.
"S-sorry...are you by any chance Gold?" He asked, hoping he was right.
"That's Queen Gold to you." She said, voice suddenly vicious, a frown replacing the carefree smile.
"Um..y-yes, of course-" He started, slightly terrified. Someone who could switch moods that quickly couldn't be stable.
She tilted her head, eyes glinting dangerously. "Who are you? I've never seen you here before."
"I'm a traveler.. My name is North." He said, nodding politely, hiding his fear with finesse.
"North? Hmm..." She said, staring at him intently. Her eyes were unnerving, yet mesmerizing.
"Um..Yes." He said, looking away to avoid her gaze. But as soon as he glanced up she was gone.

He was beginning to think he'd come here in vain, when he noticed a sign above a building called 'Kitten Sweets'.
A candy shop, it was small and quaint. It seemed peaceful and friendly, except for the two arguing inside the store. It was Gold and the stranger from earlier. -
He walked to the side of the building, enhancing his hearing with a quickly muttered spell.
"...don't care if you're not trying to. You still need to stop." Gold huffed, poking the stranger in the chest with her finger.
"Alright alright. I'll try to tone down my scare factor. You happy?" The guy said, smirking up at her. North was shocked that he didn't seem the least intimidated by the fierce glare she was giving him.
"You said that last time."
"And since then I haven't killed anyone in the kingdom." He countered.
"You walk the streets like something from a nightmare. Can't you be normal?" She scowled.
"Me? Normal? Nope."
"Honestly Fade, I'm beginning to consider locking you up and melting the key."
Fade? North nodded, storing the name in his memory for future reference. He was so busy listening he didn't notice the girl sneaking up behind him.
"Can I help you?" The girl said, smirking with amusement as he spun around, startled. "Eavesdropping is rude, you know."
"I wasn't eavesdropping!" North lied, frowning.
"Uh huh." -
Can I be in it? :3
-
Yes just wait
The girl glared at North. She had dark hair and eyes, and from the way she was dressed he assumed she was the Queen's servant.
He opened his mouth to say something, but before his lips could form the first word a crashing noise sounded from inside the candy store.
A second later the glass windows shattered, and a high pitched screech rang out in the air.
The stranger, or Fade as Gold had calmed him, stumbled out the door, blood running down his neck out of his ears.
Gold stepped out after him, holding a golden sword that glowed with white light.
"Wanna try that again?" She scoffed, murder glinting in her eyes.
"Maybe later." Fade shrugged, smirking.
She glared a second longer, then burst out laughing.
North stared, dumbfounded. What the hell was wrong with these people?
"Milady, what should we do about the damage to the store?" The girl who'd caught him asked suddenly.
Gold huffed, as if thinking about her citizens was a hassle "Pay the cost to fix it or whatever, I don't care."
"As you wish." The girl nodded, then walked off, after a while seeming to disappear into thin air.
"Alright, what the hell." North yelled, losing his temper. He was tired and confused and quite frankly slightly terrified.
"What the what?" Gold blinked, tilting her head at him.
"I think he wants to know what's going on." Fade stated.
"What is going on?" Gold frowned, confusion clear on her face.
"We were discussing my failure to pay taxes, and then you attacked me." Fade said helpfully.
"Oh that. That's nothing. Wait, aren't you that guy...South, was it?"
North cringed. Her not remembering his name was one thing. But to call him his brother's name was another.
"No. I'm North."
"Yeah Fade this is North he's travelling through." Gold said, as if it had been her idea to drag them both here to introduce them to each other.
"I've met him. He's the clumsy thinker." Fade chuckled.
"I said I was sorry!" North sighed in exasperation. Maybe he should just ditch these nut cases.
"You should both come with me. I want some tea." Gold grinned, eyes glittering with something...was that malevolence? North didn't know nor did he want to.
"I don't drink tea.." North started, then yelped as Fade slapped him on the back.
"You don't have to, you just have to obey the Queen." He laughed, pushing the timid North after the already running off Gold.

Me?
-
Maybe. Give me time, I haven't even gotten out of Nahuatl yet.

Gold liked to have her tea near a cliff, it seemed. They sat at a table at the edge of the forest, right beside a sheer drop off into the Boiling Sea thousands of feet below. Just lovely.
Four people had joined them. One was the girl from earlier, who was apparently Gold's butler, a demon named Frost.
A girl by the name of Rena also sat with them. She was covered in paint splatters, and when asked why she just stared, then muttered "I like colors."
A young woman with black hair and brown eyes sat at the end opposite Gold. She had wolf ears and a tail, and seemed to be too intent on her book to care much about the surroundings.
The last was a silent guy by the name of Muse. He had long blood red hair and Amber eyes. He was apparently a close friend of the Queen, a noble from a land called Koo'becaf.
North had a hard time finding the tea. There was a single small tea pot, and the rest of the table was covered in all sorts of sweets, ranging from candy to pies, cakes to cookies. No wonder they were all so crazy.
"To our new friend!" Gold giggled, snapping him out of his thoughts. Fade was too busy stuffing candy in his pockets to pay attention. Rena raised her cup, along with Frost. Muse nodded, and continued staring over the cliff, as if imaging what it'd be like to plummet to his doom.
The wolf demon smiled, glancing up from her book. "To North!"
"Shut up Half!" Gold hissed, eyes narrowed.
"What did I do?" Half blinked, tilting her head.
"You spoke. Fleabrains aren't allowed to talk!" Gold huffed.
"Ooookay. Let's all just calm down and eat cake." Rena said, sipping he tea. Her eyes turned from a dark violet to a deep blue.
"I hate cake." Gold whined.
"Cheesecake?" Frost asked, pushing it across toward her.
"Oooooh yes!" Gold squealed, and proceeded to begin eating the whole thing straight out of the pan. Real Queen-like.
"So...You're all friends?" North asked, tired of being silent.
"No." Fade stated, while at the same time Gold sang "Yes~"
The two glared at each other for a couple minutes, before Fade picked up a pie and shoved it on Gold's head.
Gold Sat there for a second, confusion clear on her face. Then I guess it dawned on her what just happened. Her eyes flashed red, and she picked up her cup of hot tea, pouring it on Fade's head.
"s---!" Fade yelped, so startled his chair fell backwards, taking him to the ground with it.
"Serves you right, stupid pinecone." Gold scowled. -
