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 @astor
Sina was trying to find her way in the world now she is less worried about the barons that been bothering her, she has been growing in confidence that couple of sessions ago she lacked due to fear. However, with the rumors going around she has to be careful. She still kept her body guard close by even though it a little bit more relaxed. He was currently walking along the side street keeping a eye well Sina was busy looking at some parchment and Quills for the students.
She was currently wearing a lovely purple dress to compliment her skin tone. However, she felt comfortable in her skin and she was somehow still modest about the way she dress. As she finished buying she turned around and nearly bumped into someone thankfully dropping just the paper all over the floor. "Oh my I am so sorry." She got down and started picking the paper off the floor
Working as a Legionnaire made Astor feel like he was doing something good with his life. Getting to help people and protect Loren. Not everyday though, and today was one of those days that just made him feel like a glorified signpost to not stir up trouble. Today he was posted outside some ladies store that had been reporting vagabonds standing outside her store and planning to steal. Nothing had happened yet, but apparently he was supposed to stay in the area on occasion.
He expected it to be generally boring, and it was. Up until someone almost ran into his back and a flurry of papers ended up around him. "Pardon ma'am." Turning to help pick them up he stopped when he noticed who it was. So he took a step back and pushed some of the papers forward rather than being close to Ikisina.

Sina froze slightly when she recognize the voice. Astor... it wasn't frozen in fear but more the fact that last time the saw each other she told him that she loved him and he told her to get away. Now he married. She quickly gathered her paper together as she slowly stood up."Count... I mean Marquis Kane I am sorry for bumping into you." She could notice that her guard was moving towards them she signaled with her hand that she was safe and to stay back.
"How have you been?" She asked trying to keep a respectable distance.
It was odd to see Ikisina again. He had always felt bad about the abruptness, but it had kept her safe from the Porters, and at the time that had been all that mattered. She was gifted, but that didn't mean he wasn't going to protect her in anyway he could. And so he had broken her heart, but here she was, safe and hopefully happy.
"I'm well Miss Navarro, and you?" One of his hands rested on his sword while the other dangled awkwardly, not entirely sure what to say or do.

Sina in so many ways wanted to say that she doesn't care about what his family did, she felt safe round him and even though he broke her heart she still does. She felt safe around him but she know she can't have him now that he is married, there was a ting of sadness in her but she kept a smile on her face.
When he said her surname she guess formality was needed. "I've been doing alright, busy. I've moved, I have started a school, I've been training. Gotten pretty good with self-defense." She chose not to say anything about the 2nd attack because she wasn't going to risk it with what happened to the first guy.
Astor nodded his head, glad to hear that Ikisina had started to take some defense classes. He certainly couldn't be going off and killing people anymore, not that he should have in the first place. And it seemed she also had a shadow these days, another good thing. She was clearly thriving just fine without him, something that made the weight on his shoulders lighten a little.
"You sound very busy Miss Navarro. Apologies for knocking the papers out of your hands, I wouldn't want to keep you." It seemed she had better and more important things to do then take a walk down memory lane, and Astor was glad they had bumped into each other.

Sina's eyes was soft when Astor spoke and shake her head. "I know last time we spoke well..." She give a week laugh. "However I still see you as a friend so I don't mind talking to you, plus this is possible the most interesting thing that happened to me all day." This time it was a real smile seeing Astor always did make her smile she felt safe and warm around him even though she was keeping a respectable distance around from him.
Astor awkwardly nodded his head. "Oh, well, I am working so I don't know..." He felt uncomfortable in this situation. This had been a woman he had thought he had feelings for. But it had been a childish dream, one she had dashed on the rocks with her behavior. That didn't mean he could drop how his heart felt though, but he was glad she was moving on and away.

Her smile faded a bit. Her guard approached "Sina, Vern may be wondering where you are. We should get you back home. Apparently, Vern is cooking a nice apple pie for dessert." Sina looked to her guard giving a weak smile. "Right. Thanks, Spencer." Her eyes gaze back towards Astor. She knew her action was silly and she wasn't thinking when she announced her love. However, it was in the past now and he is married to Scout, a part of her was hurt thinking that he was courting her when they kissed in the library.
She offered Astor her hand to shake as she give a curtsy. "It was... good seeing you, Marquis."
Astor bowed, not going for the offered hand. It didn't seem like a great idea. The last time he had held her, well, it had been a lot more intimate. And he wasn't sure what memories would come flooding back. He was a married man now, and no one knew that it was just for show.
"Stay safe out there Miss Navarro, I'm glad you have people to help you now."
Smiling he turned and went back to work. He didn't like the feeling in his stomach, squashing it down. A guilty feeling. Talking to a woman he had seen a future with even if it was impossible probably wasn't a good thing. Should he talk to Scout about it? No, probably not necessary.
