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!
Val hasn't been sleeping after hearing about the death of Logan it hit her like a ton of bricks. Her dad and him was close, he was her first commander and he was the uncle of her husband. To say it didn't affect her would be a lie, but she was a strong independent woman who need to be strong, if not for herself and her career, then for the people who care about who need her right now. They needed support from her. She sat on the edge of the bed unable to sleep, she looked at Keir was was fast asleep looking adorable as always.
She got decent before she headed downstairs to the kitchen the dogs gathering round her feet as she gathered some herbs to try and relaxs as she did that she fad all the animals. Before she made her way to stand by the door frame and leaning against as she looked out watching the sun rise. She was thinking about everything. Was she scared of death? of course she was, her mother dead giving her life, she has seen the effect death can bring to people. She knows what it feels like to loose someone. Well even though she never knew mum she was still apart of her.
She was there watching the view when she felt the nose of one of Keirs dogs sniffing her leg looking up to her with their sad puppy dogs eyes and she knelled down and stroked his head. "Logan was a good man, we need to be brave for Keir. He needs us right now" Val give a small week smile.

Keir had stirred just as Val had left the room the fresh waive of a painful reality crashed over him, Uncle Logan was dead. He had yet to cry. He was hurting plenty but he had people to be strong for the with his Uncle's death, it was quite the blow to the Delaney family and the fact that Aunt Alys was away...he prayed to the highest Goddess she wouldn't come back to the news, no one deserved that kind of news sprung upon them.
Finally pushing himself from the bed Keir slipped into a pair of loose long johns and a loose over shirt before quietly leaving his room. He came across Val as she talked to Keefer catching the tail end of her conversation. He smiled a bit, "You and Keefer are more than strong enough for me," Keir then pulled Val by her waist pulling her back, with her back against him, she was warm and comforting. His arms wrapped around her as he rested his head over her shoulder, "I couldn't sleep good either."

It has been hard for the family to take the news, how would Alys take the news once she's back? the kids, growing up without their father around. She didn't grow up knowing her mum, and didn't know her biological father so in a way knowing that one parent can longer be with you is hard.
when she heard Keir's voice saying they were strong enough before pulling her up by the waist and pulling her back. Her body relaxed in his arms. She turned her head slightly so she can give a loving kiss on his temple. "I am here for you." her arms wrapped around his. When he explained that he had trouble sleeping. "do you want to talk about it?"

"I worry about Alys, she isn't here," Keir explained totally comfortable talking about his troubles to Val, "What a nasty bit of news to be surprised with. I mean...how did I not see it? Uncle Logan's problems? It's the rage of it all that worries me, what if...what if there is a Delaney curse?"

Val listened with a sad look upone her face, she wish she can say everything going to be okay. She turned her body slightly to face him more and placed a hand on his check softly running her thumb across his cheekbone. "When Alys come home she has us to support her we will face that hurdle when she back." her face is soft, valcan only imangen coming back from work to hear Keir is dead, she would be heartbroken beyond repair.
"Keir." Her voice was soft and gentle. her head resting against his trying to find the words to his questions. "none of this is your fault, there nothing you could of done." she looked down "if the family cursed, which i am sure you not then we will show the witch who cursed the family name, that she messed with the wrong family."

He melted into her touch and he pulled her closer turning her completely so he could rest his head against hers, Keir heard and felt every word but listened to her soft and lulling breathing between her words. When she gave her commitment that if a curse was put on the family they would make her pay a gentle smile hit his lips, "As long as nothing ever happens to you Val I know we will always be fine, I love you and thank you for everything," he kissed her forehead lightly, "It's been easier with you here. I couldn't have done this alone."

A gentle smile came across her lips seeing him smile as Val kissed him softly on the head. A single tear ran down her cheek when he said just as long as nothing happened to her. She placed a hand on his check as she listened to his breathing. in a strange way it relaxes her. "Just as long as you are beside me I will always be there for you. Love you always." Her words was soft and gentle. Warm and true. "I WIll always be here for you."

His own hand went up to hers as it touched his cheek and wrapped around her smaller one, he pulled it away and planted a light kiss across the back of her knuckles, "Then let's go back to bed, you can snuggle against me and I'll hold you through the night....I just need you."

The way he planted the kiss on the back of her knuckles put a soft smile on her face. She love this man so much. When he said that he need her a part of heart brokes, seeing him like this. He really looked uo to his uncle. She will always be there for him through it all so she nodded. Val hands not wanting to let go of his hand that hold her small hands, when her hands was in his she felt stronger they needed each other.

Keir lead Val back to their room, using a foot he shewed Keefer from the room closing the door with his foot. Turning his attention back to Val he would pick her up letting her legs and arms lock around his neck and waist, he kissed her several times short loving kisses as he carried her across the room to their bed. Where he would lay her down gently on their pillows climbing into bed on top kissing her on the lips, down her chin, around her neck. It was probably bad timing but Kier needed her. Wanted her.

When they lay in bed she ran her hand through his beautiful curly hair as she felt his lips pressed against her neck a soft moan escape her lips. "Keir" escaped through them, as she ran her hands as she lifted his loose over shirt up and off him as she traced her hand over his back, it felt so right being there, but they needed each other, want each other.

Keir pulled the heavy feather blanket over them as his hands worked to undue her sleeping blouse tossing it over his shoulder on to the floor. Her moans drove him wild and the quiet house fell under the noise of passionate heavy breathing.
[Fade]
Some hours had passed when Keir collapsed on his side of the bed, Val laid her head upon his chest. Sleep fell over both of them cuddled together for the first full sleep in days.
