Ea

now you're staring at a queen.
They had been summoned -- up the Mountain, once again, though the journey this time was much easier. And then the oceans parted, and the new land opened up before them.
Their Island.
Ischia.
It was fitting, really, that Beqanna had given Ea an island. She was perpetually alone -- even at her peak, when she’d had the kingdom and Ramiel and the children, she’d always felt alone. But, as she takes her first steps onto the beach -- not the beach whose sand smelled of stale death, but their beach, that smells like fresh greenery and clean sand -- she finally breathes a sigh of relief.
For a moment, she forgets about Ramiel and Sela and Kha, forgets about how she sleeps alone now, cold from the harsh winter instead of curled up with their warmth.
She still has Sabrael. She still has Tiphon and Phaedrus and Ashley.
And now, she has Ischia.
Ea looks around and spots a few of the others that had been brought in by Beqanna. She moves closer to them, and lets out a call for the others that remain. As they begin to gather, she addresses them.
“Hello all, many of you know me but for those who don’t, I am Ea,” she begins. Once again, she has thrust herself into a leadership position -- it is where she is most comfortable.
“Welcome to our new land -- Ischia --” it is not the Dale, I know, but still beautiful, she almost says, but bites her tongue. “I would also like to introduce Tiphon, Ashley, and Phaedrus,” she pauses, nodding to each one, “we will all act as a council of sorts, though I will be overlooking everything. Beyond that, I would love to hear your ideas for our new home. Would anyone like to go first?”
