Kaj. The queen smelled him before she heard him, heard him before she saw him, and saw him well after her heart had frozen in her chest. The Stormbringer was a fitting moniker for him; all she knew when he was around was confusion- the heat of love burning in her chest, but the ice of fear groping within her and killing the flame. She had been avoiding him. It wasn’t fair, of course, but what could she do? Every time she was around him she wanted to melt into his side, to hide under his wing and close her eyes, to feel his heart beat in time with hers- but she couldn’t. She could not steal his dreams of a family, of foals, of the perfect family unit. So she stood beside him and smiled, dying inside, trying to pay attention to everything that was going on around her. It was difficult. There was Archibald, giving sage advice to the two that visited their borders. Parelia, silent but seemingly thoughtful. Midas, speaking of growth and friendship, trades and peace. Ghost, speaking of what the Edge wanted. Her mind was swimming, her heart defrosting, pounding, as the heat of her love warmed her insides. She needed to focus, to come back to reality. She used her rank magic, the magic that she had come to know and love (and sometimes need). A sense of calm washed over her. Since everyone else was presumably calm, she doubted that they would notice much of a difference. Slowly her mind came back to her, her the fire and ice were numbed to tolerable levels, and a gentle smile returned to her face. “We are open to a peace treaty. Trading can only benefit both of us,” she started, trying to gather words that sounded more queenly than childish. It was hard work for her, but she only wanted to make Kaj proud. For a moment she looked to Parelia, who would surely have ideas about trading. Then her gaze shifted to Archibald and Kaj, who would surely have more to say about the troops. “Kaj will know more about our warriors, surely.” But she had her own ideas too, and she voiced them. “We want to be able to open our borders to others- to be a safe and guarded neutral territory to meet in. If you need a mediator, we would like to think ourselves capable of that task.” Pausing for a moment, she decided to add in one last thing. “We want to bring others together through games and competition, fun and glory. We left an invitation for you to find. I hope your herd members will join us midway through Birdsong.” Kahlua only light can drive out the darkness |
