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.

(this thread is for @keion )
Cyrus had been absent for quite sometime, it bothered the Prince as the two were very close and Cyrus had always been a big part of the princes life growing up. He could sincerely use the man's guidance but with looming circumstances Akagi had summoned Cyrus's brother and head of the Calvary branch of the Peacekeepers. He was of course once again in his workshop and had sent word and a ring to protect Kieon from his security enchantment. As he waited Akagi got his presentation ready to present. When this was over he would be off to Nevermere to join his family for their festival.
Keion moved swiftly through the city, having donned his enchanted boots so he could enjoy a brisk run on his way to the palace. Much to his surprise, he had been summoned by the Prince, the ring and note dropped off at his doorstep. It was a good thing he had returned home when he did, otherwise his absence would have been noted by the royal family. Still, he was confused as to why it was him who had received the summon. Cyrus was usually the one who dealt with these types of things.
He made his way into the palace, a friendly smile on his face as he greeted all of those he knew as he passed by. At the entrance to Akagi's workshop, he slipped the ring the Prince had sent out of his pocket and onto his finger and then knocked at the door. "Prince Akagi? It is Keion Blackwood, you sent for me?" he called and waited for a response.

As soon as Akagi heard the voice of Keion he jumped up from his chair and opened the door to his workshop, first eyeing the ring to make sure it was on and he smiled, "Welcome and thank you for answering my request to be here sir, come in," the prince would open the door allowing Keion entrance and he would look around to just to make sure no surprise guests would be joining them. Satisfied he closed the door of his workshop.
"I won't take up much of your time but this is becoming a time sensitive matter," Akagi waved Keion over to his much cleaner and organized work table, "It is also one of top most secrecy mister Blackwood, before I can go any further I request this stay just between us? I was previously working on this with Minister Cyrus but with him being away and busy, I feel I can trust certain people, thus namely being the Blackwoods."
He was all smiles for the Prince when the workshop door opened, stepping inside quickly and standing at attention while he waited for Akagi to join him. His eyes fell on the Prince, his curiosity growing with every word Akagi spoke to him. "Oh, I am always at your beck and call, Prince Akagi. I admit, I did find it curious that you summoned me and not my brother. Has he truly been gone for that long?"
A small sliver of worry worked its way through Keion's chest but he pushed it aside. There were more immediately and important matters at hand. "But of course, anything you share with me will not leave this room, I swear on it."

Akagi bowed graciously with a small smile on his face, "Thank you for your discretion sir and yes your brother has been away for sometime, far longer than I am getting more comfortable with but Cyrus is definitely capable of handling himself, so I am going to handle some business," the Prince sat in the chair at his work station where he began to flip through a stack of drawings and designs, "I don't know if you are aware but we have a wayward Arynnite within the territory of Coheed, it is unknown if this person is a prisoner or aiding the people of Coheed," he paused to look at Kieon a serious look replacing the childlike nature that Akagi usually held, "Either way, I am going to Coheed to eliminate the threat, covertly and alone, but I am taking every precaution for my safety which is where I need you: for this," finding his latest idea he pulled out a drawing of a unusual boots and by the notes they were designed to silence the users steps, "I have been trying to find out more about Coheed but it is a scare collection what I do know is they have some kind of enhancement from strength, or smell, and sight ectra ectra. These boots will allow me to silence my movements and I am currently in possession of a pin that will render my invisible. Can you perhaps make these for me to aide in my mission?"
Once again, Keion was slightly distracted by how Cyrus had apparently been away for awhile. The sliver of worry he had been ignoring grew even more. He would have to do a bit of investigating on his brother's whereabouts. His attention snapped back to the prince at the mention of a wayward Arynnite though.
He shook his head as Akagi looked at him, concern darkening his gaze, "I did not know about that, no..." he trailed off, waiting for further explanation on the matter. A wayward Arynnite in a kingdom as primitive as Coheed could be disastrous, whether or not they were there on their own free will.
His eyes widened at the plans Akagi revealed to him next. He cleared his throat, "I'm not sure I could craft these personally for you, I do not know how to make shoes after all, but I certainly have connections with other Blackwoods who can make the boots for you. But... Prince Akagi, is it really a good idea for you to be the one going into Coheed in search of this information? What happens if you get caught while there? Coheed is not known for their mercy, afterall."

The Prince had crossed his arms and listened to Keion intently, he knew to expect the reaction from the man, so when he did speak his usual light tone had been replaced with that same grave seriousness he had given his brother some time ago in this very room:
"And that is why I have carefully planned and crafted this to be strictly covert, I want to be in and out. My mind is settled on carrying this out myself, just see to getting this made," Akagi dropped the serious tone to a more somber and one of admiration, "Trust the work Cyrus has put into teaching me what I know, who I am. What I must for Arynn Frey and it's future."
Keion bowed his head in acquiescence at Akagi's stern tone. He knew he would get no where arguing and that it was more of a command his Prince was giving him to follow, rather than a discussion. His own features softened at the mention of his brother and the training he had done with Akagi.
Keion nodded his head once, "I will see the boots made to your specifications. Just... once they are done, please tell someone where you are going before you leave. We need to know if something goes wrong." He sighed, crossing his arms lightly at his back. "Was there anything else you needed?"

"That's fair, you will be contact on this and the first to know of my departure," Akagi confirmed with Keion, "You and Sylas are the only two involved with this plan and I again I would like to keep it that way, however I have nothing more at the moment. I look forward to your contribution."
