[claim, to be clear] will you fight when it all burns down; any - Lilitha - 10-31-2018 Lilitha I watch the city burn, these dreams like ashes float away...
She had known it was only a matter of time before disaster struck again. This entire world was crossed by the stars and showed its nature on a regular basis. Lilitha wasn’t even surprised when the ground shook and the world rearranged itself again. She didn’t even blink when the voice of the gods rolled through her head, declaring a state of emergency. She just dug in her heels and took another walk through the glorious, haunted woods that had become her home. ...your voice I never heard, only silence.

Tentatively, he crosses the borders. Swims the icy sea, rests on sandbanks, but only briefly. He remembers how to swim the tides, used to it as he was less than a year ago in Ischia - and it’s still not hard to do so. It’s just the frigid cold of the water that he has to tackle now; but after his changes, his ice transforming, cold was something that would slide off of him as easily as the waters off his scales. Taiga had been much farther away from Nerine before, but now it was in the North, and he wanted to make sure there would be no threats coming from this land. Not towards Nerine, not towards the icy island that besides it magic should not be worth much to any others, but him and maybe a few lucky others that could withstand it’s cold. But the magic attracted others. And if they heard of Brennen moving, some might want to force him to heal them, mayhaps. Even if they didn’t, scouting his surroundings would not be a bad idea. Indeed it wasn’t. The ice-attuned stallion found the fiery-red maned mare quick; the only clue to where he’d come from the dripping of his golden mane and fetlocks - the scales were all but dry, when he found her and whinnied to her. Closing the distance, though not too much because he wanted to make sure she wasn’t sick yet, he asks one question. Alright maybe two. ”Who are you, and what do you want, in all this change?” he wonders. Not in an aggressive tone, but, not too familiar either. Rather neutral, as one can never be too careful in times like these. you set my soul alight RE: [claim, to be clear] will you fight when it all burns down; any - Lilitha - 11-03-2018 Lilitha I watch the city burn, these dreams like ashes float away... His appearance was unusual, but she was no stranger to the odd and unlikely. Beqanna was full of strange colors, strange features, and there was something oddly lovely about the scales spread across his skin in place of hair, his sharp predatory teeth, his odd eyes. And she could appreciate his directness. She called a soft, wordless greeting back and met him partway, closing the last of the distance between them. ...your voice I never heard, only silence.

She gives more than her name, and he tilts his head a little but doesn’t interrupt; she’d taken his question to a much deeper level but perhaps this was good - it told her a little of her history but also of her plans for the place, which was what he needed to know. She didn’t seem to want to lay a claim to this land other than to just live here, he figured. Nodding to her when she finished, he hadn’t much else to add. Yet she asks a question and she deserves a better answer than just a name. ”Leilan. My father wasn’t all that important in terms of kingdom matters, but my mother was. An Amazonian queen, and a Leviathan now, so I guess you’ll understand where that leaves a colt, as the culture was then.” He shrugs, it wasn’t important nowadays with things changing so much. He looks around the redwoods briefly, and nods to her. ”There’s people claiming land all around, but they seem to focus on the safe islands for now.” He shakes his head. It was nonsense. No-one would eventually escape this plague until the magicians and fairies had worked something out, unless they literally isolated themselves from everyone. ”If your claim holds, I’d like to talk to you again soon, either on Icicle Isle or Nerine. We don’t need panicking horses to start a war over something nobody knows how to fix yet, but if they do and you need backup, let us know. We could use a herdland like the one you have in mind, for those who just want a home and nothing more. Perhaps in due time, we’ll be able to offer you more. You are, after all, the first-most Northern land our visitors need to pass through.” He wonders if she had thought that through, but, the thing is she is not a threat and if she continues not to be, then an alliance would be useful. With Taiga as a buffer between Nerine and the other lands, the Northern kingdoms would be one very strategically set-up stronghold. They’d want and need Nerine’s protection, and, if this business with the newcomers was worked out in Nerine’s favour, the Isle’s also, in return. Perhaps he’d learned something from Brennen after all, in terms of war. But he supposes that he has to ask the man what he wants to, and can, do, in due time. ”Good luck out here, Lilitha. I hope your visions will come true.” He turns back north, back towards the island, unhappy with the developments there but hopefully it will be clear what to do with Cam and Phasus, soon. you set my soul alight RE: [claim, to be clear] will you fight when it all burns down; any - Lilitha - 11-04-2018 Lilitha I watch the city burn, these dreams like ashes float away... Lilitha had very little knowledge of kingdom politics, but she nodded politely as Leilan told her of his childhood, filing the information away in case the subject came up again in the future. “They put more faith than I do in the fairies and their benevolence. I won’t be chased out of my home, not on a flimsy promise of safety.” ...your voice I never heard, only silence. |
