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!
To say that when Ikisina arrived to the Allemead Keep, she wasn't that girl Remi mat. She doesn't know who she is anymore. All she know is that her heart been broken too many times and she scared. Even though she pretend that she isn't, how can she show how terrified she is. They are anti-gifted who possible want her dead just for being gifted and she can't really hide the fact that she is gifted with this collar on, which is supper itchy.
She was wearing a black clock to try and cover it because that is the only thing she can do at the moment to protect herself. She can't afford a guard, she can't afford to stay at home. All she can do is hope if everybody tries to attack her is that she is able to outrun them. She gave Dresden dagger up because she doesn't want guards or anyone to assume that she will hurt anybody with that.
When she got to the gate she looked around there was apart of her that she felt guilty that she let everybody down because she gave somebody who she thought cared about her, that she was safe around apart of her that he can never give back and then rip everything around her away. When somebody came to ask her why she is here. "I would like to speak to Marquis Allemead. It Miss Ikisina Navarro." Her voice was above a whisper, just loud enough to be heard. she was let in and was informed to wait. Like what else is she supposed to do.

Sina wouldn't wait long in fact she had been a regular the gate guards would know to send her on to Remi. Still, Remiel had only been back a day, going on the second day, he'd finally slept after his return almost all of the first day but he'd gotten up at noon and started right back to work. He and Victor had worked late into the night with Remiel telling Victor all of what had transpired at the speech just as Victor filled Remi in on the state of the Keep. Remi was glad to have Victor as a farm hand the man seemed to have continued as promised.
They were going over plans for the tour, it still hadn't been given a date yet, when a guard approached with Sina. Remiel would excuse Victor and the guard taking Sina toward the large tree estate, she hadn't seen it yet and it was impressively massive and definitely different from any manor in Lorendale. It was the product of Remiels Gift, and despite the crushing blow of losing Oriana to her own mysterious whims...he was at least happy with it.
Theh could speak openly within the estate, "You okay kid?" he asked as soon as they entered through the front door, a thick oak door at that, of course the giant tree house wasnt the only difference, Remiel still wore an eye patch and the remnants of heat burns, "I just got released the day before..."

Sina followed where she was being led even though she had gotten used to the estate and the layout of it, she still felt like she was lost in the world. Like she was no longer a part of it. When she saw Remi she noticed the eye patch apart of her want to ask what happened cause she not long heard about the events of the speech. Of course it was mere gossip so she doesn't know how much of it was true.
Following Remi to a oak house that clearly he built with his gift a part of her heart was tugged, feeling more guilty. When he asked if she okay and called her kid. She was twenty six and yet she lost in this fight of wanting to do the best and make stupid choices of it. "I thought I trusted someone, but he broke my heart, ever being, fibre that I hold dear, now I have nowhere. Everybody thinks I am a monster because I am gifted commoner who cares and leads with my heart." rubbing the area of her neck again. "Mind if i take this off?" Sina pointed towards the cloak that covering the collar. If Remi allows she takes a deep breath and takes it off letting some air around her neck that isn't being touched by the collor

"Yeah well its a lesson for both of us then," the blonde answered with a defeated tone, shrugging as if he didn't understand and did understand all at the same time, "Stop following our hearts or after others Sina, it's a hard lesson but it's for the best," he was explaining as she asked about the cloak simply nodding it was fine, "whe-," and he saw the collar which made him go quite. Something cold, like a ghost of the collar he had been put in not long ago, "Why are you in a collar?"
Post by Ikisina Navarro on Dec 26, 2023 6:28:15 GMT -5
"i am sure there is somebody out there for you Remi." On the other hand, she doubts that she will find somebody who love her for her, that she will never find somebody who she cherishes and who creishes her back. Sina wants to believe that she was made more than a lonely commoner, that she was worth more than a librarian that she can bring something to the world however, she doesn't think it is possible. She tried so hard to be happy. LShe freeze when Remi asked her about the collar. Looking down her eyes were going misty. "Because I slept with a man, he reported me saying I used my gift to force him to sleep with me, which is a lie. well not using my gift he asked me to use my gift but when he kissed me... i thought he kissed me because he loved me. I can't nor will i ever want to force anyone... now i have to wear this collar till Prince Augustus feels like i am serving Lorendale, but i am just a commoner there not much i can bring to the table."

Remiel almost wanted to say something towards her comment about "finding someone" that it was a silly notion or dream to believe much less say out loud, yet her explanation about why she was collared made him abandon that argument.
His brows furrowed and his hands went to his hips, "Sina that was wreckless! In these days you don't do that," Remiel had never used his Gift against someone who hadn't provoked him to use it to defend himself, "For love? For what purpose did this man ask for such a stupid thing? Gift baiting! You got played and now you are dealing with he consequences, why? You can't be that nieve Sina..."

But she is that naive, she was a fool because she dream of love, she dream that there is somebody who loves her. "Cause he wanted to understand my gift and what it can do so he could help me. I am sorry. I am such a fool for wanting to believe." Sina's voice was creakin she was trying so hard to stop herself from getting emotional. However, no matter how hard she tried tears round down her face, using her hands to try and dry her face, "I am so sorry Remi for being wreckless." Her voice was soft, she been beating herself up soo much ever since it happen and in her eyes a hint of the sense that she is worthless.
Over the month Remi have known her she was getting confident and happier, however right now that shy timid girl seems to have kept back in, she was lost no idea what to do or if there any hope for her.

Remiel was speaking from his own bitterness as he glared down at Sina shrugging, "Don't cry, what's done is done and we don't need crying, things are changing and shit is at play Sina that's over both of our heads I can't ever describe it the last thing our kind need is this," he began to pace rubbing the back of his neck shaking his head, "So can you earn that to be removed? What are the stipulations for the punishment of what happened?"

When Remi explained that she shouldn't cry, she looked down as she tried to dry the last few tears. Trying to keep compose and remembering what Astor said to her when he came to visit her in the Palace about not sharing everything at once, to not be trusting,to not being emotional. However, she is an open book and she is emotional and it will be a while for her to learn to not be these things. She can't just switch them off.
When Remiel asked about her collar she thought back to when it put on. She was very doubtful about this all, she doesn't know how she will be able to do this on her own. "If they feel like I am no longer a risk to the community then i have a review. My conditions are that I have to report to a Patrol officer every two days and explain what I've been up to, Prince Augustus suggest to find someway to serve the community. I've been going to the patrol meeting, told them what I've been doing is eating, sleeping and working."

"And you'll follow every word Sina, but I will talk to Prince Augustus we have a meeting in a few days," Remi wasn't shouting anymore but he was firm on his words in his tones, "You are a piece in the future of the Keep...what I'm doing, you stay away from the man who asked you to use your gift, when do you check in with this officer again?"
Post by Ikisina Navarro on Jan 5, 2024 6:54:07 GMT -5
A part of her wanted to say that he didn't need to speak to the Prince, that was a pain in her stomach that made her worry that Remi speaking to the prince would make it worse. Sina looked toward Remi, eyes soft when he explained that she was a part of the future of the Keep. "I will always support what you are doing" Maybe him being firm with her is what she needs. "I see the officer tomorrow."

"I'll see to it you get escorted back to Loren soon, it's almost a day and halfs ride from here to there and you can't miss it," Remiel replied, "How often do you report to this officer?"
Post by Ikisina Navarro on Jan 5, 2024 16:15:08 GMT -5
Escorted back to Lorendale, Sina sighs at his next question. She closed her eyes softly at it slowly taking a few steps back as she doesn't know how he going to respond to it. "every two days." Her eyes look to the side. Placing her hand on her stomach. "I.. am sorry, a part of me was hoping.. a safe place to sleep that isn't the library. Lack of sleep isn't good on me. I should start heading back to Loren."
Post by Remiel Allemeade on Jan 5, 2024 16:45:04 GMT -5
Remiel waved for her to follow him and he lead her through the inside of the giant tree estate, only in the early starts of getting to look like a home...Oriana had been handling all of that and it was as it was when...
He couldn't focus on that right now. Going into his first floor study a small cozy room he walked up to a medium sized lock box and opened it pulling two fairly decent sized pouches of coin.
"Until I speak with the Prince this should find you a suitable place to rent for a few weeks...extra for food and some other things you might need," he offered them to her and he wouldn't let her refuse, "I'm going to see if I can find you a place in Loren until you are off probation after which you can find permanent residence at the Keep."

Sina was a bit shocked at him for a moment a bit shocked that he didn't shout at her more for being stupid, for not thinking. She take a deep breath as she opened her eyes and started to follow him, unsure of where he was taking her. She followed him into a cosy office she slowly looked around. However, her eyes floated to Remi when he brought out to pauses, her eyes were fixed onto Remi's eyes for a moment unsure, a part of her was wondering if he was joking.
Unsure if she should take the money or not, she felt bad for taking the money. However, the way that Remi looked he wouldn't take no for an answer. "Thank you Remi,I hope one day i can make you proud again." She at least owes him that much.
