Quand on n'a que l'amour - any - Amorette - 03-19-2017 So alike and so different at the same time too. And no, she was not referring to the Heavenly Gates, which Amore had called her home a couple of years, but instead to the place she was born. The sight of the mountain, the longer she took it in, the more something stirred in her. Ever since she had left the Mourning Mountains behind her, not alone, she had never thought of it again. Amorette Quand on n'a que l'amour. RE: Quand on n'a que l'amour - any - Lucrezia - 03-20-2017 Lucrezia is widely known for wondering through her home. She has fallen back into old habits of watching over the border of her home just like she did in the old world. Some old habits just never died, but she might be a little more cautious after Pollock and his gang arrived at the borders not too long ago. The mare had never liked the stallion since she first met him—his greed and hunger alarmed her, especially for his presence in her home own. She would not allow such corruption to ever tear apart her home again. No, the greed and hunger of others would not touch Tephra just as it did the Deserts. Nothing in her life would be ruined by such corruption again. Lucrezia would be damn well to make sure it did not. When her nutmeg gaze catches the sight of the smoky black mare at the corner of her eye, she carefully watches her. Lucrezia has never seen the mare before, but the distant scent of the mare does not alarm her. Something looks like she has been here before. Curiously, she decides she should at least find out who this other mare is. Lucrezia makes to at least make an effort to get to acquainted everyone who lives in Tephra. Lucrezia picks up an easy stride to make her way to the mare. Her pace is a little fast to close the distance between them, but eventually she slows down when she reaches the mare and continues to approach her at a walking pace. “Hello there,” she calls out from a distance. A wide smile grows across the champagne mare’s lips. “I’m Lucrezia,” her voice is friendly and warm. Lucrezia settles before the mare with a smile still across her lips. “I’ve never seen you before.” She states the obvious, but doesn’t show concern for the presence of the other mare in front of her. RE: Quand on n'a que l'amour - any - Amorette - 03-22-2017 The volcano was all she could see. With every step she takes she gets closer to it. She can feel the heat on her skin and the air she breathes is humid. The heat she’s familiar with, but not this kind of air. Not being used to it, every breath is heavy, and the she has yet to get accustomed to the combination of the two. Amorette Quand on n'a que l'amour. RE: Quand on n'a que l'amour - any - Lucrezia - 03-26-2017 TShe has known both the feeling of heat and the sight of mountains all her life. A range of mountains in the east direction bordered the Chamber, where she had been born. Then she was forced to become accustomed to the feeling of heat every day of the year when she left the Chamber to live in the Deserts. But, no matter the path she went on through her childhood days, she would not change it for the world. Her life within the sandy kingdom helped shaped who she is today. And now she is here in Tephra. The mare admires the humid heat all year around and the bursting (not literally thankfully, she thinks) activity of the volcano. Lucrezia has had her fair share of adventures on that volcano. It was a dangerous journey once close to the lava lake that boiled deep inside the core of the mountain, but it was something she would never forget. It made her appreciate her home more too—how beautiful and dangerous it all was in one place. “It’s nice to meet you too, Amorette,” she says in response to the smoky black mare. Lucrezia watches as her gaze flickers to the volcano. There was something inspiring about the volcano. Perhaps a place all came to wish to see and among the tiny islands that lingered in their territory. “It’s amazing looking, even from the very top of it too.” The memory of her journey with Dahmer to the top is recalled briefly. “You can see everything from miles up there,” she adds. It was not uncommon for those born in Beqanna to return. She had fled this land once before, searching and making her own adventure outside of here. However, she too had come back permanently like many did. “Welcome home,” a soft smile curls on her lips. “Were you off exploring the rest of the world?” She asks with a tilt of her head, curiously wandering what sort of story and adventures the other mare has had. Lucrezia has always had an interest for others. RE: Quand on n'a que l'amour - any - Amorette - 03-27-2017 There was something about the volcano that lured her in. She could be content by watching it from a distance, safely in the grasses of Tephra, but no, that was not good enough. Amore needed to get closer, wanted to feel the heat directly on her skin, hear the rumbling sounds the volcano made up close. That the view would be wonderful, wasn’t something she had thought of before Lucrezia pointed it out. Amorette Quand on n'a que l'amour. RE: Quand on n'a que l'amour - any - Lucrezia - 03-31-2017 Lucrezia is quick to notice the fascination that fills her new acquaintance’s eyes. Her most recent adventure—at least filled with danger—would have to be climbing the long rocky trail up the volcano that stands like a giant compared to all of them. “I’ve only been up there once,” she answers with a smile. “I would like to go up there more often but it’s a rather long journey,” she considers the volcano for a moment when her gaze turns to examine it. Dahmer and her had somehow managed the long and tedious trail up to the top of the mountain. “There are a lot of lava streams, but if you are careful you can manage it at least within a day if you start early in the morning.” It was an adventure she would never mind taking again. Hopefully, sooner rather than later. Her time for leisure things might be running short though. Lucrezia has been crowned the power of leading Tephra and those that live within the land. The job description had been quite unclear, and she does not really have much experience leading an entire land. Diplomacy was one thing, but carrying the entire power of leading and governing was entirely different. She did not feel prepared for it at all, but truthfully she was very prepared for it. Her entire childhood and upbringing had been devoted to this moment. Rodrik, her devil father, had raised and groomed her into a mastermind of ruling and conquering. However, her heart did not lie within the same lines of his. Lucrezia cared for the betterment of it all, fairness and morality were important to her. Then again, she was also headstrong to ensure such things would follow through. This time she would make sure it did no matter what. Her home would not flood like it did before. “A home that existed but still exists,” she says with a soft smile. “It was a hard transition for many of us. There was a lot of confusion and of what to do and where many loved and familiar faces went.” Lucrezia speaks from the heart, perhaps also showing how much Amorette had been spared the pain. “Where did you live before the lands changed?” Remembering and speaking about the old world didn’t hurt her as much anymore. In fact, she was happy to speak about the old world if the smoky black mare was willing to. RE: Quand on n'a que l'amour - any - Amorette - 04-03-2017 Lucrezia didn’t need to say anything else to catch her attention fully. She watches the older mare, ears perking forward and the expression upon her young face all too eager. Right now Amore could only wish to make that adventure herself, rather sooner than later. Soon the champagne mare starts to tell her about the one visit she had made to the top of the volcano, and she hung on every word. Amorette Quand on n'a que l'amour. RE: Quand on n'a que l'amour - any - Lucrezia - 04-03-2017 Lucrezia laughs softly at the young mare’s eagerness. It filled her with such joy to see another enjoy the same things she liked too. Adventures had always made her appreciate the world around her a little more, and even so it had made her feel more a part of something bigger. It gave her a sense of purpose. She wanted to feel more like anything that she was given it her all to the cards she was given in her life, even if she had changed them just a little than what had been anticipated for her. “Of course we can!” She agreed all to excitedly as Amorette had. Lucrezia would always have a heart of a child, but a mind like an adult. Her answer would always be yes to an adventure. “Yes, you can feel it on your skin. It’s very hot,” she says, “And you might just have to wait and see if the lava makes that sizzling sound!” Lucrezia teases her playfully. She nods at the mare’s words being back in her home. The change had been hard, but they had come together. Strangers that now had become just like family. It was peculiar to think of sometimes how a disaster had brought them all together. She only hopes it will continue to bring them all together, at least for the future generations of Beqanna. When Amorette mentions the Gates her ears perk up. “I remember the Gates and hearing about Mourning Mountains at one point. I mostly visited the kingdoms since I lived in the Deserts and worked as a diplomat.” She had never known the herd life, only of kingdoms and pursuing to climb the ranks at the demand of her father. Her life had changed since them, especially with the new family she had made in the sandy kingdom at one point and now in Tephra. “I loved my wings too,” she says softly, remembering them being taken from her when the Reckoning came. “Everything that the kingdoms had ever given their people had been taken away, and even now some of us have been stripped of our abilities.” It was a strange and foreign thing in the way magic worked within Beqanna. RE: Quand on n'a que l'amour - any - Amorette - 04-17-2017 She hung to Lucrazia’s lips, eager to take in all what the golden mare could tell her about her trip to the mountain’s very top. If someone would tell her that it was impossible to grow more excited, then she would prove them wrong. Amorette was eager to go, to explore herself and that her new companion agreed to join her only made it better. Amorette Quand on n'a que l'amour. RE: Quand on n'a que l'amour - any - Lucrezia - 04-29-2017 The smoky black mare’s eagerness for adventure is something Lucrezia has come to admire. She finds those that share her similarity for adventure are remarkable individuals and have many stories of their own to share. In fact, she has become quite good friends with those that share her taste for adventures. “I would like to take you up there sometime,” she says with a smile when Amorette teases her, “We could sometime in the next couple of days if you’d like.” Lucrezia was more than happy to take the time off of worrying about politics and ruling. Likely, it was still part of her ruling when taking the time to spend it with another resident of Tephra. However, she did not see it that way. She saw it as a chance to get to know the other mare more. Lucrezia was always eager to hear about another, no matter how boring the other may feel like their life may be. There was always something knew to learn. A smile lingers on her lips as she continues to speak about the world they no longer live in. “Many things are not the same as before. There is no need to worry about kingdom as much,” she pauses for a moment, “Of course, not in Tephra.” She says playfully. Tephra was not a place where she expected loyalty while others lived under her rule. This was a place of tranquility and a sanctuary for those that needed a place to be safe from the world outside. She would gladly take anyone in—of course only those that had good intentions. “It’s part of what has happened,” she continues on the subject when Amorette asks her. “I had just recently come back before Beqanna had changed. So from what I have known, the change of Beqanna was a punishment and to remind us of the blessings we have. Many took advantage of what we have been given.” She pauses for a moment thinking of what had destroyed the kingdoms. “War. Power. Greed. These are all the things that I believe changed our world.” And she knows it is important to never fall into such a similar path. @[Amorette] |
