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.

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!
Waiola been busy, she still doesn't know how to feel now that the Mother gone and this Odina came back after years away from her sisters to take over. A lot has happened in those years she been away. Waiola knew that she would never be able to leave her sister's behind and Odina just think people will be happy to have her back and welcome her in with open arms.
However, she need to talk to Odina about an increase of patients in her tents with an unusually illness that been making it rounds it is worring Waiola, because she has a daughter and she doesn't want her daughter to be infected by this illness and want to know what the best thing to do cause on her side all she can do is treat it by trail and error. If there was a way to either stop the illness completely or slow it down to the point it is nothing. Then that is ideal.
So making her way to see the woman, going to the guards and showing that she is not carrying any weapons before she explained that she needs to speak to her as a matter of urgency. When she would guided in, she looked around. "Thank you for meeting with me on such sort notice. We need to talk about something of great importance." Waiola wasn't going to beat round the bush with plesentaries when her sister's lifes were at danger.

Odina was tending to P'ol the small child was currently in her bed with a strange high fever and was majorly congested, it had been an all night thing of the fever breaking and returning. The Princess had treated it with natural remedies that her caregiver Misha had taught her growing up but so far it was a hit or miss. The guards would follow Waiola in leading her to Odina to which the Governor would greet the healer with a respected bow of the head, "Yes, please," Odina observed both guards and each of them looked tired and eyes red, "may I?" Odina stepped toward both gently laying the back of her hand to their foreheads, "both of you are burning up," and both guards nodded with one speaking, "been up with a fever since early this morn' my lady...I know several Witches as well," he confessed, "both of you to the medics now, Waiola how can I help you? I have a feeling you have the same news to share?"
As they walked in she noticed the guards were also coughing, breaking her heart a bit. However, Waiola was determined to get to the bottom of it. She looked towards the child who was lying on the bed with a fever before her eyes looked to the governess. "If you asked for my mother tell her that that I prepared some vails that would help a little bit." She explained. They won't be able to treat whatever this is but for the moment it will ease the main symptoms down a little bit.
Sigh softly as Odina asked if the same news. "sadly yes Ma'am. As soon as I treat one at least two more enters. They are coughing, have high fevers, complain that they are feeling weak, tired and sick, feeling tired. It affects all ages and from the guards, it clearly affects both male and females. It not like a normal flu. it is strange."
She looked towards the governess daughter. "May I have give your daughter a check over?" Her eyes were soft.

Odina sighed, "you may, she's a bit stubborn when she's sick but she's mostly slept when the fever breaks," Odina stepped aside so the healer may look at P'ol. The Governor excused herself to step outside of her dwelling and she waited for a passing guard to which she called for, "are you busy soldie"
The soldier shook his head to Odina, "No my lady, I was on my way to the camp to see a medwitch, I'm not feeling well," and Odina could see the sweat beading on the man's forehead, "Then please make haste," she couldn't risk spreading anything so when an Elder approached her Odina saw the immediate worry on he woman's face, "Governor it's Rissa and Grisha...they are very sick, I don't know how long Grisha has but if I can't lower this fever and break this cough out of her chest she'll not make it through the night," Odina took the Elders hand, "Find Sigyn and if you can Lady @norah as fast as you can...tell them to come to my dwelling with haste..."
The woman with sad eyes nodded and made her way to do as Odina had requested. She made it back inside and found Waiola, "how are you feeling?"
(i rolled a 9 on a d10) "My daughter just the same when she is ill." Waiola just hope that her skills as a healer and a mother come in helpful. As she sit down by the girl. She just pray that she is guided. "Hey, sweetie. How are you?" Waiola takes her time doing her checks from checking her breathing, her heart rate, and strength check. She didn't need to check for fever it was clear that the girl had a fever.
When Odina came back in. "Bit tired but that from working out a solution for whatever this is." She was trying to not look worried in front of P'ol. It not the kids responsibility to worry about what going on.

Sigyn heard her name and looked up from the book she had been reading. One of the Elders informed her that Odina wanted to see her. Sigyn and Odina had recently come to an agreement, and Sigyn was now the Witch Doctor. This would also mean she would be working together with Waiola, because a Witch Doctor was commonly a healer, doctor and spiritual guardian. Sigyn's strongsuit was mostly the latter, although she did know a bit about healing as well.
The blonde made her way over to where the Elder had told her the governess was, and she walked into the room. She saw Waiola, Odina.
"You asked for me?" she said, still a bit unsure how she should address Odina and behave towards the woman. They hadn't been off to a great start, but things were going better now.

When Sigyn arrived Odina was done writing a list of orders to be given to down to a chain of command, she sent the elder back out to find a soldier, one in particular Octavius Wulfbrand calling for his attention if Norah was in-between Cambria and home he would be their liaison for communication with Nevermere side.
"We might have a situation, P'ol is sick but not only her Waiola came to me with reports of multiple cases of the same thing..I just dismissed my guards for the same symptoms," she was going to use both sides of this coin to get a range of potential treatment started, "I fear we might be in a outbreak of some kind..."
Sigyn instantly took a step back, ripping some cloth from her attire and holding it in front of her face. "If it's multiple people, we need to get to the bottom of it, and quick, and others need to protect themselves", she said through the cloth.
She turned to face @waiola. "What have you been able to find out so far?"

Octavius came when summoned, good soldier that he was. He’d wait outside the tent until given clearance to enter, at which point he’d step in, polished and proper, and await orders. Or a task. Or a dismissal.
Waiola looked in the direction of Sigyn as she asked her a question. "From what I have found out the earlier we spot it the quicker, but there been a few cases that haven't had any symptoms then all of a sudden they all come at once and at that point we struggle to keep it under control. It also seems to spread when people come into contact with people."
Waiola does worry that there an outbreak at hand here in Cambria if we are not careful. "if it possible maybe people who have the symptom to in a different area where we can treat them or at least try and figure out what it is so we have a best course of action so they can get the best care possible?"

As Waiola filled Sigyn in Odina addressed the soldier @octavis, she had met him during on of their debriefing meetings prior to their departure to Cambria, "Private Wulfbrand, time is of the essence and we need to get a head of this as soon as possible, we have the potential of an outbreak on our hands and we must quarantine anyone who is sick until we can get something to fight what's coming," turning to Sigyn and Waiola she addressed them too, "We all must work together on this for the safety of all our people...can we do that?"

Octavius stood at attention as Odina Ellis addressed him. When she finished he clipped a “Yes ma’am.” Then, after she spoke to the Cambrians—his eyes jumped to @waiola and the smallest of smirks flashed across his lips—he would offer,
"I agree, that sounds good. Get them away from the healthy people. But you, Waiola, should be careful as well. You've come I to contact with them." She looked from the healer to Odina Ellis.
"We certainly can, but like I said, I do think the smart thing to do is get everyone who is sick to a secluded area. We can build tents on the other side of town, away from the town center."

Looking at Octavius Wulfbrand when he walked in giving him a warm smile, just hoping that he not showing any of the symptoms. He is the first male she fully trusted, it feels wired to think that she can trust a man. "I can ask the other healers to set up a tent for these patients but we possible need to get word out that if anyone has those symptoms to go to that tent." Waiola explained when Sig told her to be careful "I promise I will try to be careful."
Her eyes landed onto Octavius when he asked her what to do. It did shock her a bit, that a man asking her for her opinion. There was softness in her eyes as she looked into his warm eyes. "I would like a report on if there any of your fallow soldiers here are ill as well. Also, if there been any solider that's been sent home recently than I think it is best to inform your head captain. We don't know if people carry the symptoms before showing symptoms yet."

"That can be managed, I will find some soldiers to help me in this task," Odina replied to Sigyn, "Find us some Cambrian volunteers as well?" As Odina went to make herself a makeshift cloth as Sigyn had a dizzy spell came over her and she stumbled a bit toward Sigyn, she was realizing suddenly that she was also burning up...
