The peace that formerly reigned in Terra Nova has eroded, now little more than a memory. War ravages the continent. Disputes divide kingdoms; ideals divide families. The quest for power consumes absolutely and indiscriminately. None are immune to its allure.
Who will rise and who will fall? Only time—and ambition—will tell.

Change in how times flows. Was 4 IC seasons, now only 2 IC seasons per 1 OOC year.
5 whole years of Heir Apparent goodness! When I started the site, I knew I was hunkering down for the long haul, but I never could have predicted the numerous twists and turns this roleplay site has seen. Hundreds of plots, characters, and members have come and gone, all leaving marks on the site. I am so very thankful for those who have invested. Because you keep coming back, keep getting on, and keep writing, Heir Apparent has the legacy it does today. Three cheers to us!

When Alaric said that he was surprised she looked at him softly still blushing. She feeling a bit shy "You are just saying that Alaric." A soft laugh escaped her lips. She was honestly trying to see herself as beautiful. Maybe finding confident in who she is will make her slowly see how beautiful she was. Each day she was getting better with it.
"I am honestly glad that you didn't starve, how could this world go without your handsome face and your stunning feathered hat?" She give him a cheeky wink.

"I never give out empty compliments," he lied, smiling.
"Indeed, how could this world go on without my lucky feather?" he waved his hand at his hat. Sina was about to discover what happened when someone reminded Alaric of his signature feather, "You see, when I wear this feather in my hat, good things tend to happen to me. For example," he held his hand out like he was about to tell a grand story, "I may obtain a commission by a filthy rich patron who wants to make his home an exhibit to his vanity, or perhaps to have his knew wife immortalized while she is still young and pretty. It's a wonderful feather. Almost supernatural."

Alaric seems to be very interested in his lucky feather. She wants to know what the full story about his feather. "Almost superatural? Maybe it the reason us to meet?" She asked intrigued about it all. "How did you came about this feather of yours? it most have a grand story to tell of your first meeting?" She asked if she wasn't sitting for a painting she would of moved her body to lean in closer to listen.
When he asked if she has a lucky charm of her own, she thought for a moment. "Not one at the moment, maybe I will need to look for my own." She looked towards him with a sparkle in her eye.

"Oh yes, almost supernatural," he nodded his head dramatically, "It has caused many happy meetings, indeed. Ours included," he smiled charmingly at Sina, "Now, the story of how I found my lucky feather is a secret that I've kept close to my bosom for years, but," he raised a finger, "I shall give you a clue. Just one, mind you," he paused for dramatic effect, "I found her whilst I walked outdoors," he gave a horrible clue on purpose. The frustration people exhibited was truly delicious.
"Well, my Muse, I do hope you find your lucky charm soon. Perhaps it will come when you least expect it."

Sina laughed at his clue, "arn't you a cheeky Alaric? What a helpful clue you gave." She raised her eyebrow slightly and give a smirk as she thought. "Well it looks like it from a elegant bird. Some people might guess that you brought it at the market, however I feel that you Alaric it wasn't as simple as buying it at the market?" It wasn't really giving away what she thought was the answer. She was trying to see if she could gather anymore information.
When he said that he hoped that she will find her lucky charm soon, in a way she hopes that she does she not been having a string of good luck lately and she sometimes feel like she need a break. She feels like this is the first time in a long time she had a rest from her worries and it feels nice, relaxed, calming. "I hope I find my lucky charm, maybe it closer then I think." She looked at him at the moment.

“Indeed not, dear Sina,” Alaric would have stroked the feather had he not been holding onto his paintbrush, “For a feather like this cannot be found in any simple market. One finds a charm like this when one isn’t looking.” Indeed, Alaric had not been looking for a charm of any sort when he found his lucky feather.
“Perhaps your charm is indeed closer,” Alaric said as he continued to work on the painting, “All you need to do is look in places you would not normally think to peek into.”

"It is too special, to beyond words, it needs it own painting to keep immortal forever." She give Alaric a flirty wink in his direction. She doesn't know what she was doing. She just felt like doing that in the spare of the moment. She was trying so hard not to full for anyone she can't she need to protect her heart. She possible not worthy to be loved in the way she wants. Maybe she too naive too sensitive, maybe she read to many books instead of living in the real world.
Sina thought for a moment trying to think of places she would not normally peak into, she is simple in what she does. "Well at the moment that a lot of places. My nose is normally in books reading away or teaching."

“Oh!” Alaric shook his paint brush at her, “What a splendid idea! I cannot believe I did not think of it before. A portrait of my lucky feather,” a self portrait would be just the thing, he decided. He would call it ‘dashing man and feathered muse.’ Alaric, reminded again of his lucky feather, did not notice the wink of the pretty woman who was modeling for him.
“Perhaps then, to find your own good luck charm, all you need to do is look up,” he grinned, his tone as charming and friendly as ever.
He looked up from his portrait and realized that shadows were starting to fall. He would have to stop painting soon or risk the quality of the piece.

"Well I am not just a pretty face. I got a brain up here, somewhere." She give a warm but small smile. She doesn't really compliment her self that much but oh well.
Look up, she thought for a moment the last time she did that she fall in love with Astor and she took a risk a idiotic risk of being in love with the man for him to break her heart. Yes she proclaimed her love for him but she was foolish to take the risk. She sighs softly. maybe she need to not trust men in that sort of thing. She gave Alaric a nod instead.
"How is it coming along? Do you want me to come back for another sitting?" She doesn't know if that a right term.

“Brains and beauty,” Alaric sighed, “a devious combination, indeed. Everyone must have trouble keeping up with you.”
“The painting is nearly done, come and see,” Alaric would gesture for the woman to come over to view the painting. She would see a grand lake, a colorful sky. Dead trees that signaled the hiems season lined the lake. A delicate figure draped in the pink of the sunset sat demurely near the lake, her hair gently blowing in the breeze.
