Hotaru
and Alice
To her side she beckons the Reaper, for they are entities that travel hand in hand. She the one who calls the souls of the warriors to their eternal rest, he the one who rips it from their bodies and hands it to her like a gift of ethereality. Together they haunt the caverns and ridges of the northern mountains, their voices like fate booming in the decibels of their words even when they speak softly. They face their mystic soldiers and beckon their spirits forth into their throats, simultaneously threatening and encouraging. One wrong move and their entangled hands would rip those flickering lights from their bodies - as surely as they felled others on the field of battle. He echoes her passion with the grim grip of death that he represents, a foil to her passion of bloodletting and honorable death. And they stare up at them, some quiet, others passionate in their rising vocals. She shifts her eyes to them in turn, giving them all their due attention. Erebos comes forth to the armor she presents, and a proud expression flits across her granite-perfect features. "Then rise as our General, Erebos. Wear this armor with pride, and serve your herd." Hotaru wants to spare a glance for Deimos, gauge his reaction, but she cannot imagine him disagreeing. He is a patron of destruction, surely he would have no objections to his son following in his steps. But Erebos is not the only warrior to speak up - some are new, in fact, and fierce hope grips her heart in hot, sparking hands. Arion calls her Queen, and she tips her head elegantly, listening attentively as he speaks. If he is family, she will award him the respect of her attention as she does any other northern dweller. "Test your mettle against one of our soldiers, and speak with Erebos. He shall be your General. If he finds you have the talent, the rank is yours to take. But you must show you desire it," she smiles, mischief and amusement sparkling in the corners of her eyes like fallen stars. Whether he won or lost did not matter - it was his impression on Erebos that mattered. Though if he was any relative of Eldala, she did not think she had much to fret over regarding his personality. The dark mare does not speak to her, only to Deimos, but Hotaru lifts a brow and lets her hammer fall swift and sure upon the anvil of her own conjured words. "We are more in need of soldiers than thieves, if the rank appeals to you," she notes, leaving the odd, twisted mare to her ramblings against the Reaper. If he wanted to deal with her, well. All the more fun for him. With the soldiers dealt with she turns to the spies, the thieves and shadows who unknowingly traced her gilded steps. She can feel Aisling at her side, the dangerous beauty in the shadows of her throne, and cannot help the quirk of her smile and the settling of her bones. Her right hand was never far, and Aisling's resonating voice, proud and filled with conviction, was music in the Lady's ears. No fitter mare could accompany her to the Edge, after all. And no better mare could keep Albrecht in line than the fierce mare at her flank, either. "Then find yourself at Aisling's command, Albrecht, and welcome to the rank of Impersonator. Any further news you have of Kisamoa, please share with us." What a shame that there was no space for flirtations, but Hotaru could always catch up with the copper lad later. But Aisling had mentioned another - Johnny, her pink-painted friend, who looked far worse for wear from where she stood overlooking them all. He did not speak in regards to her summons for the weavers, but Eldala did - and Hotaru's eyes gleamed with delight at her suggestions. "If you desire, you may hand over the materials to Johnny for him to weave into armor. Your ideas are promising, and we will go over them together in private." There was really no question to it, a statement more than a request. With the sentinels broken and decaying, they needed better forms of defense. Alice's snarl brings her attention from the crowd to the goat toddling toward her, and the hellhound's teeth flash and drip acid all across the snow as it jumps onto her. Her skin jumps but she doesn't move, not wanting a knobby hoof to the spine. Alice's snarls deepen until her body shakes but scarcely utters any audible noise, and Hotaru is tempted to take the metaphorical leash off her - until Eldala spits blubbering apologies and retrieves the wayward companion again. "Please do," she says wryly, though her eyes are faintly amused even if Alice prowls between her legs unhappily. The rest she casts her eyes across, until Frost Fyre speaks, and the Lady smiles. It's an echo of the newcomer Cassius, whom she nods to. "We are on neutral terms with the other herds, enough for a polite conversation at borders if nothing else for the time being. Cassius, if you are of the mind, join Frost Fyre on her mission to the herdlands. We will happily welcome you into the rank of Disciple," was offered with a warm smile, welcoming him to the fold. "Frost Fyre, if you feel you are in need of any others, you may request an escort." At last, everything else is finished. "If any of you have questions, seek me out privately. Deimos as well. If you are new here, welcome - feel free to acquaint yourself with the lands around you, as this is your new family. This lull cannot continue, and I thank all of you for coming. If there are no more questions or decisions to be made, then you may go about your duties," she excused them with the same warm, firm command as before. Laxness could not be awarded so early in the wake of her disapproval, and she would be watching them closely, but she would not keep them there to beat them around the ears when it seemed the information had reached at least some of them. SUMMARY: - Erebos has been made General! There is now only one General and one Corporal position to make things easier. - Arion has been offered the position of Corporal on the basis of one completed spar! - Beloved has been offered the position of Soldier! - Albrecht has been promoted to Impersonator! - Johnny and Eldala have tasks awaiting them! - Cassius has been offered the position of Disciple, and may accompany Frost Fyre on her journey to the other wise ones! If anyone has any questions IC or OOC, please let me know! Hotaru is always open for threads. And don't forget you can count this thread for points in the SEASONAL CONTEST! |
