city; - Nayl - 10-25-2017 I am not afraid... I was born to do this. For decades, Nayl had been elusive to the concept of love and family. It was a foreign thing that she evaded so that she may better focus on her own selfish ambitions. With minimal effort, she achieved so much within a little time, but with the distractions clouding her eyes, she fell. The empire that she was building has begun to crumble. She should have passed her crown while Beqanna squirmed in her hands, but she had no one. Now, her mind sees herself scavenging for the remnants of her power; she refuses to let it entirely slip through her fingers. And so she finds the one mare who had shown a fire in her soul, a taste of poison on her tongue. Although it has been a while since their paths crossed, Nayl’s memory still reflects bemusedly at City’s involvement in the gladiator pit. She wanted to face others, to feed her need for battle. Despite the misconduct of ignoring her Queen’s instructions, Nayl could not help but smile at the vigor and incentive. The sand grumbles underfoot, hissing beneath each footstep until she stops once having found her. ”City,” her voice is ever hardened like iron, steady even as her eyes blaze with the colors of autumn. She half expects her children to be nearby but doesn’t bother to look, keeping her attention funneled on the huntress. ”You will help me in taking charge of the fighters. Each one of us needs to have the skill. Due to low numbers, the concept of individual castes was removed in addition to taking a different stance from the old Amazonian ways. With this change, however, there is stagnation. This, obviously, needs to change.” A brow lifts from underneath her forelock, her shoulders rolling as she struggles to admit her faults (love distracted her, family distracted her). ”Are you up for the challenge?” queen of nerine daughter of covet & myrina RE: city; - City - 10-26-2017 City

To questioning the competency of one that overrules them. Nayl narrows her eyes beneath the unruliness of her forelock, her breaths somehow remaining steady despite the lurch in her gut in wanting to instinctively lash back. ”I am,” she resigns to say, ”thus the reason I never left or haven’t given up like many others.” City had vanished. Despayr had lost herself in the waves. There were a few that took a hiatus from Nerine’s shores, but some are now returning like vultures to a corpse. Alas, Nayl refuses to let her kingdom – her home – wither and burn to dust. It’s why she is standing here swallowing her pride and looking to revive everything she can before the crown slips from her head. ”Some are returning out of the blue,” she reassures City, knowing that not all hope is lost and that Nerine would never be truly abandoned, but it isn’t only their numbers that claw at her. ”Nerine was powerful with two subkingdoms, but I let Djinni come back home and abandon Sylva, and Amet retracted his promises and therefore our hold on Hyaline.” The taut muscles in her shoulders flinch upon remembering their last confrontation and how it brought her blood to a boil. It was to be a kingdom of children, one for Nerine to nurture and feed from in the end, but Amet became greedy and refuses now to release the throne as he reaches the cusp of adulthood. Her head shakes and her jaw clenches as her eyes meet City’s again. ”Then we shall gather them all. I could use some fighting again,” it has been far too long – years – since adrenaline last coursed through her veins on the open plains of the battlegrounds. ”My last fight was when I won Nerine’s throne,” did City know that, or anyone for that matter anymore? It’s already a piece of history, a bedtime story for children about their coastal queen. ”I haven’t seen either of them lately. Last I saw Tantalize she was flirting with Offspring,” with an enemy, she doesn’t say. queen of nerine daughter of covet & myrina RE: city; - City - 11-05-2017 City The air pulls taut when City’s hiss of a voice rolls out and seems to slap her Queen in the face. The pale mare is no stranger to tension, reading it clearly and letting it pass her by. She will not poke the grizzly piebald Queen anymore, respect is something she’s earned at the very least. She levels with Nayl’s cold eyes, her last fight, the words echo and rattle softly in her mind. rushed and filled with all I found Yeah so this can go either way, they can split here and assume City trots off to recruit or steal or whateva - ORRR - they can keep chatting and build a game plan. If they split, City will find her later vice versa <333 |
