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!

[For @alistair]
Elena had a lot on her mind these days. She was certainly loving living as the Queen for the last five years but even that had started to lose it's luster lately. She wanted more than this shithole city and maybe it was time she start doing something about it.
It was evening, the sun having sunk below the horizon, and she had just finished eating. A fresh berry pie had just been brought out and with a grin Elena had decided to just take the whole thing. So with a full pie plate in her hands she exited the dining room and made her way down the hall. With the thought of enjoying this pie as well as everything that had been clouding her thoughts, she had not been paying much attention to her surroundings.
To her surprise, Alistair had come around a corner unexpectedly and she only just managed to halt her steps in time before she ran into him. Unfortunately the pie wasn't so lucky. Unable to halt all of its momentum it started to tumble to the floor. With quick instincts Elena managed to catch it mid air with her telekinesis and slowly brought the pie to rest safely on the plate in her hands once more.
"That was close," Elena said with a small chuckle as she looked up at Alistair. He looked even more delicious than the pie if she was being honest. "You almost missed dinner," she told him. "You should just be able to make it," And then, as if an afterthought, "Or you could just share this pie with me?" she suggested.
"Holy shi-" Was all Alistair managed to get out as his body reacted to an incoming attacker and some projectiles. Without a moments hesitation, his arms tensed, fists balled, and an arm was already swinging out to deck the sudden onslaught... Except there was no onslaught. The attacker, who wasn't even an attacker, was none other than the voluptuous Elena. Thankfully a fast reaction time caught the swing of his fist to bring it up to his head in an attempt to make it look like he was just scratching his head, rather than about to take hers off.
It would seem the non-stop, twenty-four hour barrage of military training and battle had made his senses a bit overstimulated for combat.
As he controlled the adrenaline spike in a moment he realized the projectiles were pies, which she skillfully caught with her gift. As she spoke he actually did scratch his head absentmindedly, distracted by her... voice. Definitely not her curves, just her voice, and eating her. Eating with her! The pie. Eating her pie... The one in her hands. Obviously! It was just a good thought to have her with dinner. FOR DINNER! Wait...
In truth, he hadn't even been heading to eat. He was heading to his room (the veritable inferno) to meditate a before a skirmish he was hosting tonight. He had found, as of late, that meditation in extreme heat gave him control over his powers, and the voices they sometimes caused, "Well, I like pie." Smooth as hell Alistair.

Though Alistair had made an action as if to attack her, Elena hadn't reacted to it one bit. Eldouir household and all that, on top of her turning her focus on making sure the pie didn't fall. If this turned into a fight it really wouldn't be all that surprising and she wouldn't hold back in battling Alistair...probably. She was far more interested in eating at the moment than in anything combat related...or at least not typical combat.
"Good," she replied with a grin. She had originally been heading to her room and for a second she considered offering a more neutral location. Instead she decided to just commit to it. "My room or yours?" she asked, rotating the pie slowly in her palm, the smell of the fresh berries inside curling in the air around them as she looked at Alistair with a spark in her eyes.
