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 )
Akagi had sent @ellora back through the door in the portal, turning to his desk he scribbled down something on his desk and went to the door of his workshop opening it, "Guard, deliver this note to Keion Blackwood and escort him to my workshop tell him I said he will know what this is about. Go make haste."
The prince took the Roquefort family heirloom, which was a ring, and a haggard cut gem that contained some random soul within. He would wait patiently, playing with the ring and not being able to contain his smirk. He had done it! He had done a thing.
Keion had set off with the guard immediately upon receiving the summons from Akagi. It brought him some relief to know Akagi had returned safely from Coheed, though the fact that he was being summoned so quickly and without notice. He made idle small talk with the guard the whole way there, ever the social gentleman.
Once he found himself within Akagi's workshop, his keen gaze slid over the Prince, checking for injuries or if anything seemed off. Satisfied that Akagi truly seemed unharmed, Keion nodded a greeting and raised an eyebrow. "Did you find what, or who, you were looking for?"

During his wait for Keion the prince had changed back into his dark green lounging attire that he had arrived in, after the slight disagreement between him and his wife earlier Akagi didn't want to raise questions about why he was wearing his mission gear. Akagi was sitting at his work desk when the door opened and Keion entered shutting just the two in the room.
Akagi had contained his earlier enthusiasm he looked calm and collected as he stood and presented his items, "I did. Ellora Roquefort, that was her name," he held up first the soul gem and then the ring, "She's been dealt with."
Ellora Roquefort. It was a name unfamiliar to Keion and he filed it away in his mind for later research as he looked at the items Akagi held up for him to see. He studied first the gem and then the ring, then his eyes moved to Akagi's.
"Dealt with? Just like that, you dealt with her?" His brows furrowed in a small look of confusion. "What if she had important information that we needed? Would it not have benefitted us more for you to bring her back here to be interrogated?" He didn't doubt Akagi's abilities in a fight, knew he had been trained among the military just as the rest of them had. But he feared the Prince may have acted a bit rashly.

"I..I didn't think about bringing her here,"damn, "I only sought to end the threat, she wasn't going to talk. Their indoctrination had brainwashed her, she claimed to be a free woman of Coheed."
He was making up things on the fly, "Her hovel, I wouldn't call it a home beared nothing that I saw to make enchanted items....but, I was perhaps to overly involved Keion but I don't regret my actions..and I don't need them questioned."
Keion grimaced, clasping his hands behind his back and tilting his head as he tried to dredge up any information on Coheed from his mind. Cyrus would have known more, would have known better what questions to ask. "As far as I know, women have no rights at all within Coheed... brainwashed indeed."
He had begun pacing a few steps, one hand now rubbing at the stubble on his chin while Akagi continued speaking. At the tone of his final statement, Keion stopped moving and turned back to the Prince, looking at him for a moment before speaking, "Of course, my apologies, Prince Akagi."
Another pause, then, "Would you like to send in a few Peacekeepers to search the tribes for enchanted items?"

"Not yet," Akagi replied crossing his arms, thought creasing his forehead, "Mother is going to call for a session soon with the other Ministers, I will leave this development to you to bring to her attention. Let her decide if further course is needed, but I repeat my urgency that I be left out of the story."
Satisfied Akagi uncrossed his arms so he could begin to gather his belongings, "I will leave the details about how Ellora was delt with to you and whoever you delegate this mission to. I have a bit of a angry wife at the palace I must get back to, can you see to it that this gets brought to the Queen's attention?"
Keion was still rubbing at his chin while Akagi spoke. Something was nagging him about the name. He was missing something here. And then the pieces fell into place and it was all he could to maintain his reaction to his eyes widening. Of course, Ellora Roquefort. A name he had not heard in years... because she had gone missing. Like all of the other council members. Like his father had.
His head tilting slightly, he looked back to the Prince again. "My apologies, Prince Akagi, but did you... did you say Ellora Roquefort? As in, the councilwoman, Ellora Roquefort?" She could have known information on what happened to his father. But his face only showed interest in the name, because as far as the Llewellyns were concerned, he was one of their strongest supporters.

All of his training over the years kicked in as his face and posture remained neutral, but his mind inside was blazing with the revealed information. He would have to speak to his family about this. Even if Akagi was unwilling to send peacekeepers into Coheed, the Blackwoods had their own people to use.
But he just smirked at the Prince, shrugging his shoulders, "How interesting. Well, at least we now know where she disappeared to. A loose end wrapped up, if you will."
He nodded once, "And yes, I will ensure the Queen is informed of this situation, and leave your name out of it." He reached a hand towards Akagi, "If I may have the ring and the gem? As proof that it was handled by us and not yourself."

Akagi relaxed and his arms unfolded, it seemed Keion had reached the same page as the Prince. A threat or a loose end, either way it had been resolved. At the request of the two objects Akagi collected them and handed them to Keion, "I'm just glad this foolishness is behind us, but I do want to discuss Cyrus. I...forgive me... worried about him."
Without missing a beat, Keion nodded solemnly at Akagi's question and lied through his teeth. "I received word from him recently. A very short letter that simply said he had business to attend to and would be away for awhile. He didn't tell me where or what the business is, unfortunately. Or who sent him on said business, for that matter."
He grimaced, rubbing at his beard, the worry on his face not having to be faked, "We can only wait for him to send more details or until he comes home, I suppose. I've been handling everything in his stead that I can."

"Hmm," Akagi replied in return, that was interesting in a way that Cyrus has only contacted Keion? Not him or his Mother? Well it made part sense but Akagi finally nodded, "well I want to be notified immediately when he messages again, or when he returns. Until then Keion I will be working with you closely on things," he was confident working with Keion was on par with Cyrus, "I will give you time to present these things to my Mother the Queen and I will send for you for a more private discussion."
Keion dipped his head in a show of both submission and the acknowledgement that he was being dismissed. "I will be sure to let you know when he sends word, and I also look forward to working with you." He flashed a friendly smile before he would turn and leave the workshop. He would, of course, go speak to the Queen on the matter of the rogue enchanter. And then his next stop would be the Blackwood estate.
