Thread: Queen Phoenixe

    Phoenixe rises from her bed, the spirits she drank the night before still swimming in her head.

    “Odd” she thinks to herself
    “spirits usually do not effect me so”

    As she makes her way through the corridors the knowledge sets in that no ordinary ale could have made her so. Only a poison could have put her in such a state.

    She enters the hall of her followers, making her way to the nearest table, and gently takes a seat next to Akito.

    “Akito, you are one of my closest friends, and allies. I bid you well on this day. I feel the grave is upon me, and I believe it to be the work of poison, but worry not, for I have built an immunity to these things over the years, and all will again be well in in but a few passings of the moon. For now I must retire to my chambers to rest though. If I may ask a favor of you as my friend, announce to the hall that there has been foul play here this night, and stand guard in pairs over my hall, for those who would attack me, would surly attack my followers.”

    Akito nods and Phoenixe stands to address the hall. Clearing her throat she speaks over the comotion, and celebration to bring the attention to herself.

    “I am greatly pleased at those who have come to my hall, and the noble character they have displayed here. Although we are of different lands, and different people, I ask that we remember that the wars we fight between us need not be, for here we are friends, and we have a common enemy of the barbarians of the land. For they have encroched upon us, killing thousands, and raiding our caravans. Let us turn our attention to them, and not to fighting among ourselves.”

    With that, the lady Phoenixe, turns to head back to the chambers from which she came, and disappears into the darkness of the corridor.

    As the noise around the hall slowly rises once again to its buzz of anticipation, excitement, and debate, a new tone has entered the air. The darkness of evil deeds has already penetrated into the new reign, and the questions fly thick and fast as to who could be the perpetrator of the act. Suspicion falls at last upon the barbarian princes, though upon no head in particular can the blame be laid.

    A member of the festivities ceases his conversation just long enough to scribble a short note, and pass it under the table to his friend. He then returns to chatting with a young duchess at his side, while his friend takes furtive glances at the note. "You and I will stand guard tonight. Our orders are that none are to pass at the penalty of death, which suits me well. Do not be late at your post."

    The friend overhears Flightcap still chatting with the duchess. "Indeed, the poison was no ruse. I have spoken to our lady's relations from the other world, and they have told me that she truly was laid up ill in bed for many hours. They said that she was anxious to once again speak to her followers, but quite too ill to do so. We can be glad that she has recovered in time for the elections soon to come."

    Kempwich... um, Kempion sits quietly, pondering this news

    Speaking softly, he says, "Foul play? Now, two of our Ladies have fallen ill at nearly the same time. This begs the question: What indeed is afoot here?"

    A lady appears from the darkness in the hallway, her white dress stained with dirt and grass from her days working beside her people. As she approaches the head of the feasting hall, her eyes gaze upon friends, old and new. She approaches her seat in the center of the table and gently sits between her loyal followers. As she pulls her long red hair to flow over her shoulder like a cascading waterfall, she begins to speak, her voice carrying, soft but strong, for all to hear.

    “My Lords and Ladies, it is now approaching five moons since the contest of the Gods has closed, and we still stand vigilant in the hopes that our prayers will be heard, and I will be a finalist chosen as Queen. While we wait, I would like to know more about each of you. Please tell me of your lands, your people, and your dreams for them. I wish to hear all speak so that through each of you I will know your people better. Tell me of their hopes and dreams, tell me of their sorrows and losses. I am here to listen.”

    With that she settles back into her chair and begins to sip her wine waiting patiently for the words of hope to fill her head.
