TW/CW: Body Horror, Swearing, All Caps, Bold/Italicised text; for the story: Death and Bloodshed
Ah, Nelaghati, the most charming kingdom in the world! Its splendorous architecture, natural beauty, easy-going (for the most part) populace, benevolent rulers, shape-shifting yuvrajnee- wait a minute.
Aditi, the ‘yuvrajnee’ or crown princess of the kingdom of Nelaghati, leads a normal (see: boring) life. Each day like the last, threatening to drown her in its monotonous repetition, keeping her well within the limits of what she could accomplish, of what she wanted to accomplish.
So when she finds something that might break her from this tedious routine, well, who is she to refuse?
But is this newfound power really all it’s cracked up to be?
Coming Soon! 
~~~
Remember Aditi? Take a little refresher if you don’t. We’re giving her her own story, and the first chapter should come out soon if everything goes smoothly, so stay tuned!
And for those wondering why I didn’t include the shape-shifting in the trailer, well, the trailer was more of an on-the-spot thing. And yes, the beast was created to get a what-the-fuck reaction. Would you pet it?

Episode 1: Dusty Old Book
Once again, please check the trigger warnings before proceeding, since this story will probably have death, violence and angst and mentions of blood.
Cover made with Canva, crossposted on my AO3 account.
A silent figure walked through the busy streets of Nelaghati. Draped in a simple cotton sari and a few ornaments, she blends in easily with the bustling crowd. She pulled her pallu over her head, partly because of the heat, partly to avoid anyone recognising her.
There will be plenty of time to get back to her later. First, let us have a look around this charming town.  
Nelaghati was a beautiful, busy place. Bursting with colour and life, this kingdom was sure to enthrall any who came by. 
Now, our 'Silent Figure' was walking in the streets of Nelaghati's biggest marketplaces. The area is buzzing with people. Vendors selling their wares, street performers performing, a suspicious person selling even more suspicious trinkets, and so many more things, but if we stop to list them all we will never get to the point. 
She hurried past all the people trying to stop her, to convince her to try their items, to warn her about all those 'other sellers' who won't have such amazing quality or prices, but eventually she escapes them all, and found her way to a secluded spot, where a horse with a velvety brown coat and a black mane was impatiently waiting for her. It neighed disapprovingly.
Now, here's two things about the horse that our reader might find interesting. One, that it belonged to Aditi, AKA our 'Silent Figure'; and two, that it bore the royal seal. 
Aditi lowered her pallu and lovingly stroked the horse. She held up a dusty old book.
"Look what I got!" 
The horse seemed unimpressed. 
"Hey, hey, look, I'm sorry. I came back here as soon as I could."
It seemed satisfied with her - admittedly flimsy - apology and she mounted it in a second, gently squeezing its side with her legs to make it start moving. 
They rode for a while, gradually gaining speed , Aditi getting more and more harrowed by the second. They soon reached the small wood that bordered the palace. 
The wood was a wonderful resource, and although it was certainly very pleasant, it would take a while to get through, which only increased Aditi's distress.
"Tvarte, tvarte," She urged her horse on as calmly as she could, which was, to be fair, not very calm. "We're running late!" 
Somehow managing to get to the palace in record time, she led her horse to the stables, unbridling, untacking and giving it water. She assigned the stable hand to groom it, and after making them swear not to tell anyone she had been out, she headed towards her chambers, hoping to make it there without anybody else seeing her.  
"Aditi! Where have you been?!" She heard a familiar voice hiss into her ear. 
"Rekha, hey, do you mind not telling anyone?" 
Rekha, her handmaiden, rolled her eyes. 
"You're lucky no one noticed. Yet. And what's that you're trying to hide?"
Aditi raised her hands in surrender, one hand still grasping the dusty old book. 
"You got me." 
"Wait, wait, wait. So you sneaked out, even though you knew that you could get into massive trouble for that, all for a Dusty Old Book? 
"Yes?"
"... alright. Let's get you cleaned up before someone notices."
Aditi grinned. "You're a lifesaver, Rekha."
Rekha made no reply and simply led Aditi away, all the while chastising her about how much trouble she would have gotten into - to which Aditi could only smile ruefully and utter a quick apology - and quickly scrubbed her down, removing all the branches and brambles and dirt she had managed to get in her hair. She waited as Aditi got dressed in her more 'regal' sari, and royal ornaments, and then gently wove gajra flowers into her silky black tresses, which had been tied up in a low bun. 
"So, where did you get the book?"
"Sarva Chowk."
"You're always in Sarva Chowk. Mind telling me what exactly so is so special about that book?"
Aditi shrugged. "I just thought it looked neat." 
"Aditi, you know you're my best friend, right?"
"Of course, and you are mine."
"I say this with all the love I can, but that is the dumbest reason I have ever heard for breaking curfew."
"Would you believe me if I said I agree but... it felt like it was holding some kind of power over me. You know?" 
Rekha tilted her head sideways in confusion. 
"Are you telling me the truth?"
"Now, Rekha, when have I ever lied to you?"
"We're not opening that can of worms. Just... open the book and let's see what's written in it. Not like we have anything better to do anyways."
Aditi nodded, dusting off the book and setting it at her table.
She slowly opened it, as though expecting something exciting to happen. She peeked at the pages, hoping to find something magical, perhaps. She didn't know why she felt like that, to be completely honest. She just felt as though something would happen. Gut feelings couldn't be wrong.
Not being able to bear the suspense any longer, she pulled the book open completely.
She didn't know why she had gotten so worked up. 
"Oh, great." Rekha muttered. "It's blank."
Aditi plopped onto her bed in despair. She had hoped something would happen, something different, something new. 
Something that would free her from this routine. Something that would change anything.
Much of her rebellious nature could be chalked up to her sheltered life as a royal. The tedious routine, the same thing every day, again and again, like clockwork.
The rigid rules were like chains that bound her, restraining her, keeping her back from her full potential. 
No, Aditi, you can't do that, that wouldn't be proper, now, would it? You are going the be the queen one day, Aditi, you are going to need to learn how to behave. 
She had been alive for nineteen years, yet she had never once lived.
Forgive her for wanting something, something fun, something dangerous, something new.
Forgive her for wanting to live a little. 
Anyway, while we had been delving into Aditi's emotional backstory, Rekha noticed something rather... interesting.  
"Aditi... your hair... it's glowing!"

MORE boundless bloopers cause oop
part one///
Aditi was annoyed. If she could have said 'No shit, Sherlock', she would've, but since Sherlock - and by extension the phrase 'No shit, Sherlock' - didn't exist in her time, she did not know to say the phrase, and thus, did not say it.
"I'm trying to kill you!" "As one does."
"Wasn't he trying to kill you like. Three minutes ago?" Aditi nodded. "Why do you ask?" "Why are you two behaving like besties now?" "Because we are...?" Rushabh tilted his head in confusion. "What's not clicking?"

Introducing The Royalty Representation Project
Ever feel like your culture hasn't been represented enough in media? Or maybe it's usually misrepresented? Or you just want more rep?
We may be able to help.
Well technically we can't do very much. BUT it's something!
The Royalty Representation Project is kinda like the Disney Princess lineup, for lack of a better explanation, but not??? It's aimed towards marginalised and underrepresented communities. And it’s mostly gonna be people of colour. 
Basically we’ll be making more people like her, from other cultures and communities too!
Tumblr media
As mentioned before, we can't do much. What we CAN do is provide a drawing/a story or drabble starring your character, and this time they're represented in a sensitive way.
How do I know that? You'll be helping! Tell us about your culture, little things you want to see represented, heck, even send in some stereotypes and we'll make sure to make it the opposite of that! You can also send in the body type you wish to see, or LGBTQ+ leads/subplots. Rules and important stuff:
You can send in requests at any time
You can send any writing requests to Mod🔥and Mod Sam.
You can send any art requests to Mod Sam and Mod Ares. 
We will refuse/put off any requests we find too complicated, or time consuming. We are doing this in our free time.
If you want to help us, feel free to send in an ask, we’ll be happy to have more people!
If possible, send clothing pictures of the monarchy of your culture? Google is only showing us european stuff :,) 
If you have an requests, you can either send it here through an ask OR a google form which we will create once requests open again.
Speaking of which, requests are currently closed.
