it has come to pass...

The day was new, but a stillness in the wind spoke of things to come. The colorless moon girl had spent the night unknowingly close to the site of the meeting grounds. Her travels had required some amount of rest, which she had come across late. A young and blooming willow tree held a heavy over hang and provided a superb view over the meeting grounds, but held it’s own privacy. For only the second time since she had set hoof on the soil of Helovia, had she slept without any interruptions. No nightmare’s to drown her, which was rare. She had come across many faces, and had made introductions. But now, as the call to gather had disturbed her nap, she quietly stayed put. She was extremely new to these lands, and wished yet a few days to become acquainted with the lands, before being overwhelmed with formalities.

The wise unicorn grasped each individual who had pledged their alliance to these lands, as they came to gather in front of one of the leaders…? She assumed there to be more. Possibly the unicorn stag that stood close to the injured chief was another leader. And then came the healer. Once a storyteller, and now mending the injured, she was quite a site to behold. Each creature came before them, paying their respects. Well frankly, they had to earn her respect and trust. She had to give them a little credit, being as she was the newcomer. She was not one to cause distractions, so she would wait and see how this all played out.

As this speckled equine stallion spoke of Archibald, gone, her pale ears swiveled to pick up the murmuring among the crowd. And how under his rule they would prosper. A frown creased her features, and if she had wrinkles, they would be deep. Ears slightly lean back, in receding fashion. His tone did not agree with her, and how he made his speech did not move her to cheer. Her blazing hot, icy azure pools frantically skimmed the crowd for Romani’s shape, as this be the only creature she was familiar with. Though she couldn’t spot her immediately, she caught the advancing form silently approaching the group. It wasn’t until after the main speech, did her vocals softly penetrate the realm.

NADIRA smiled to herself. So she was not the only one with questions and reservations. She was glad to see ad hear it. She would not be as vocal about it though. In time, everything happens for a reason. Patience was a virtue she had been lavished with. She wasn’t about to go and make rapid decisions based off of one little morsel of information fed to them by one breathing creature, who had somehow claimed his spot. He seemed so young too. But never mind that. Introductions would be made soon enough, and maybe first impressions would be erased. But until then, the snow-white mare kept her distance. Being an onlooker wasn’t always such a horrible idea.
