Beqanna
Assailant -- Year 226
"But the dream, the echo, slips from him as quickly as he had found it and as consciousness comes to him (a slap and not the gentle waves of oceanic tides), it dissolves entirely. His muscles relax as the cold claims him again, as the numbness sets in, and when his grey eyes open, there’s nothing but the faint after burn of a dream often trod and never remembered." --Brigade, written by Laura

like a heartbeat drives you mad, in the stillness of remembering what you had, and what you lost Ellyse

In the last meeting that had been hold, she had been merely a partaker in ensuring Tephra had a will grounded foundation. Lucrezia wanted to make sure to play her part as best as she could by offering her services her home in any way she possibly could. Now, after proving her worth of the position, she comes as the Head of Peace. The Council within Tephra has been filled by other worthy members she has decided. She has become good friends with both Magnus and Dahmer over the passing months and few years. As for Ellyse, she has not had the chance to personally speak to the now pregnant mare, but show far has grown respect for the councilmember. In fact, she makes note to speak to the mare soon. Lucrezia had made her way to the group, watching as all of them assembled together. Tephra has come together quite nicely, she notes happily and would not have it either way. It was a home she surely would not trade for anything else in the world. However, she knows with such a high value of this place and members it must be protected. The world she lives in cannot last within peace forever. There are those that will stir and take what they can—she has already seen her fair share of this, especially even more with the visit from Pollock and his gang living in Pangea. Only time will tell, but they all must be prepared. Listening carefully as the meeting begins, she allows herself to fall into a comfortable stance onto her right hind leg. When her name is mentioned and the news of her position is announced, she allows a soft smile to grow across her lips. Lucrezia was well pleased with her position—making a difference and helping with whatever she can was very important to her. She would not fall away like the last time she did when such a position and responsibility was given to her. When the other councilmembers are announced she is sure to smile to both Ellyse and Dahmer. Of course, she gives Dahmer a sarcastic smirk if he is to look her way. Once Magnus has stopped speaking the pregnant warrior speaks up, Lucrezia turns her nutmeg gaze to the mare. Letting an ear flicker in the direction of her. “Perhaps I should learn a thing or two,” she smiles, “It has been years since I have ever practiced fighting.” Lucrezia may be Head of Peace, but protecting and becoming skillful in the art of battle would be important if worse came to it in the coming years. “As for those who may be interested diplomatic matters. I am always happy to help in any way possible.” She says, a smile crossing her features. “We are a peaceful kingdom, so feel free to initiate peaceful steals and visit other lands within Beqanna. Any news of sort is always welcomed to be heard by me, Magnus, or any of the other councilmembers.” She then falls silent and turns her head back towards Magnus. She does not mention alliances of sort, not knowing if a private discussion should be had or not beforehand. Profile | Detailed Bio | Character Reference

The volcano she had known was so much different from this one. Or, not the volcano itself, they looked very much alike, but the lands around it. The Mourning Mountains had been bare, rocky ground, with almost no vegetation. In that matter the Tephra much more resembled the Heavenly Gates. It was like her birthplace combined with the home she had loved so dearly. Like father like daughter they say, right? Amorette Quand on n'a que l'amour.

Each of them come and gathers around—new faces that will eventually become friends and part of the family. Tephra has become more of a family than she had ever imagined finding again. The Deserts had become her first real family even despite the family her father had tried to create involving her and Straia. Her blood family was not a family at all, not like the Deserts family and this one now. Tephra was more her home than ever now. She smiles as each of the new ones greet and speaks their mind. Lucrezia has always favored the opinions of others and their loyalty freely made to a place to call home. She was lucky to have such others in her life and a home like Tephra too. It did not matter how many, big or small, that lived within Tephra. This was her family, and she would fight for anything to protect them and her home. But she does not expect this—the turning of events and drawing a new card to add to the hand she already holds in this game called life. It felt wrong, but also right at the same time, when Magnus addressing and asking her. ASKING HER?! Someone who had abandoned their home not once but twice. Someone who had fled at the responsibility of leading the diplomatic branch in her home. She had fled at the sign of committing anything in the past. And now, was she even worthy to do what he asked of her? Lucrezia is silent for a few moments. She states with nutmeg eyes at the buckskin stallion. Magnus had become her acquaintance in this new world. He had become a trusted friend over the years. Their desires and needs had been similar and together they worked towards creating what Tephra is now. He trusted her—to protect and guide what he led now. It was one of the greatest things anyone could perhaps ever give her. Lucrezia felt honored and blessed to be here, to be in Tephra and part of this family. A smile grows across her light skinned lips. Her eyes then fill with determination and excitement. “I would be honored to lead Tephra,” she says proudly, “Of course, that is if you will have me.” She turns to look towards those that have gathered. It is those within this land she believes that should have a voice. The people of Tephra have a right to decide who leads them. “As your leader I promise not to fail you.” She doesn't want to fail her family and home this time. She cannot. Her life these past years has ensured that she would never falter into the shadows like she did before. “I will be here at your side through think and thin,” she speaks again because she knows that the road was not going to be easy. There will be highs and lows in the coming years in Beqanna for all of them. Profile | Detailed Bio | Character Reference She knew only little of his past. Only the part that they had spent together, a couple of years, but not more than two. Relatively short. She had seen his love for and devotion towards the Gates and as a young girl Amore had only admired that. She had wished to be like that too, one day. Perhaps that time had come now. It had been simply the presence of Magnus that had made her call Tephra home, just like he had been the one to bring them to the Gates. Tephra was not the Heavenly Gates, but she was more than ready to commit. Amorette Quand on n'a que l'amour.

Spring was one of Thanata's favorite seasons, if not because of the changing of the land but also because of the promise of new life. Though the tall, thin-but-muscular mare was still a maiden, she adored the little ones running around, playing together as they explored their new home. Foals may be creatures ruled by pure instinct while they were young, but Thanata still thought of them as sweet, innocent ones that needed to be protected. She did not feel any pain as she watched the young ones gallop around with each other, but still did wish for the joy of her own little one someday.
Thanata had gone off to graze alone that day, wanting to spend some time by herself. Tephra had been rather quiet lately, but Magnus seemed on edge, like he had something he wished to discuss with every horse. It wasn't Thanata's place to mention such things in front of him, so she patiently waited for the day when Magnus would reveal what he had to say. Apparently, she would not have to wait long. Shortly after the sun crested the peak of the volcano's ridge, Magnus' call echoed throughout the Tephra's land. Thanata's head immediately went up when she heard it, her ears turned in the direction it came from. Seems like he wanted to see everyone today; perhaps he was finally going to reveal the news Thanata suspected he had been keeping in for some time? The Friesian mare started loping toward the meeting place, eager to find out. Shortly after she and various other residents arrived, Magnus discussed the orders of business for why he had summoned them here. He thanked the residents of Tephra before introducing the newly appointed council members; Head of War, Ellyse, Head of Peace, Lucrezia, and last but not least, Dahmer, a newly appointed council member. Thanata picked each of their faces out among the gathered, smiling at the news. She was glad these horses had earned their places, for each of them had proven their worth. The mare listened as Ellyse told Magnus of her thanks before stating she would train any of those who sought to learn under her guidance. The black mare, since she wasn't that far away from Ellyse, stepped closer to the lighter-colored mare, "I will begin training as a diplomat, officially, Ellyse, but I would still like to learn more about fighting so I can do more to protect the fellow residents of Tephra. I would be honored to learn under your guidance, if you would so choose to take me on." Thanata had never been much of a fighter; it wasn't that she was physically weak, for her overall body form made her quite capable. However, morale-wise, she was definitely a fan of words over hooves. Still, even a quiet one like her needed to learn to protect herself and other members of the Tephra, so she thought it'd be a good idea to learn at least some pointers about how to fight. Lucrezia also expressed her desire to learn, and Thanata took the chance while the Head of Peace was close by. "Lucrezia, I will learn to defend myself, however, my main interest is diplomacy. Would you be willing to take me on, to teach me before I go out into the land as a representative of Tephra?" she questioned politely. Two others also stated their intents of learning the system and becoming a valued member of Tephra. Then, something happened that shocked Thanata to her core. Magnus... was stepping down. He had officially asked Lucrezia to become the new leader of Tephra. Thanata's eyes widened briefly; she was not appalled at Magnus' choice, she was just surprised that the buckskin was willingly stepping down now. Why did he believe it was his time? He had not been ruling the Tephra that long. But he seemed willing to let his place go, just as much as Lucrezia was willing to take it on. When the mare stepped up and stated she would be honored to lead, and guide the residents of Tephra, Thanata smiled at the mare. She dipped her head, showing her respect for the new leader, knowing Lucrezia would do good in guiding the kingdom. "I must say, Magnus, I am surprised, but you have chosen a good successor. Lucrezia," Thanata eyed the newly-appointed leader, "I will follow you, and do my best to protect the kingdom I call home under your guidance."

He came to the meeting, he was a good herd member like that, he wouldn't deny Magnus his audience, but he also didn't feel like saying much. He was still slightly annoyed he had put himself in this position, to have to work his way up the ranks again. If he had just stayed around from the beginning Kildare would have seen to it his position was kept, he was already proven. But that wasn't the case now.
The blood bay sat back and watched the others announcing themselves and chit chatting, Magnus would take notice of his presence, surely. And if he didn't I'm sure it would come up in their next conversation, either way, he mainly came to find Lucrezia, so that he could talk to her about what needed to be done within the alliances and the peace caste as a whole. But what he got was something else entirely. He was not expecting the words that followed Magnus' greeting. Lucrezia. was. taking. over. each word struck him mind like a staccato, sharp and piercing with separation between notes (or more so words). Well, that was a turn of events... and it changed how he planned to address the mare. He stuck around to hear her reply and listen to everyone else's words. He left when the crowd disbanded after hearing all the others out... He would find his new ruler soon, best not to ambush her directly upon appointment. |
