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!
You could feel the change in the air, like an electrical current that had shifted course. Magda was to blame, though the people of Coheed wouldn’t know that. Some—mainly the women—would notice how the men now responded to her differently. With more deference and interest than they had before. Magda’s new power was on full display, even if she or others didn’t quite know what they were looking at.
With Rian ill, Magda would seek out the other Cyrilson brother. With Izen dead, Magda felt the sense that things had been set into motion. She knew Kennet was not one to make idle threats. Magda was already under supervision, and her actions as of late would do nothing to endear her to the king. She was working on borrowed time.
Magda would seek out Kaalim where he was, her newly acquired guard of Coheedsmen in tow.

Kaalim was preparing for his wedding despite recent conflictions, he still cared deeply for Imani in truth and was still very eager to marry her, but Magda Ivanova. The dreams. The love. The Izen situation. Rian.
He hadn't sought Magda since the dreams, embarrassment perhaps? Or maybe his lust for the witch would hex him as it had Izen...
Yet there she was walking towards him and he couldn't exactly hide. Ateppa who was with him nudged Kaalim pointing with her eyes towards the other woman, she lusted after the woman just the same, and in that direction she went. Something from a conversation with Zarha entered his mind and his eyes having found her beautiful face drew him toward her. Following Ateppa the pair would approach Magda.
"Cheiftess Ivanova," Ateppa cooed as she reached the woman first, "It has been sometime since I last saw you," and if Magda didn't refrain Ateppa would gently go to kiss the woman on the cheek, "How are you? Given what happened...you could give the sun a run for its shine..."

Magda would slip into Ateppa’s arms, embracing after she kissed her in greeting. She glanced at Kaalim, eyes sparkling before they returned to Ateppa. “These days have been trying ones, but there is no time to linger in the darkness. There remains much work to be done.” Again her eyes went to Kaalim as her hands stayed around Ateppa’s waist.
“Can I come in?” They were, after all, outside Kaalim’s home.

"Of course," Ateppa answered and stepped aside for Magda to enter as did Kaalim opting to let them pass so he could close the wooden door. Ateppa guided Magda to the large wooden table at he center of the room, "Please excuse the mess, we are preparing for Kaalim to take his fifth wife, it will be a very large event! But what can we do for you?"
Kaalim took a seat in his oddly larger chair, "What work must be done?" Kaalim asker, "How is Rian?"

“I can hardly wait,” Magda purred, a bright and beautiful smile spreading across her features…somehow brighter and more beautiful than Kaalim would have remembered. Yes, Magda was changed. It would be difficult for Kaalim to put his finger on just what that change was, but the want would be nearly overwhelming.
Magda squeezed Attepa’s hand once before sitting, lounging in the chair that she’d been offered. At the mention of Rian, Magda’s smile fell.
“He’s been distant. I don’t know how to bring him back to me, but I need him.” Magda looked around casually to make sure they were alone, though perhaps she’d make an exception for Attepa, before refocusing on Kaalim. “He’s spoken of going to Cambria to meet their new Cheiftess, Governor, whatever she’s calling herself.”

Ateppa smiled it was meant to be warm and comforting, "He will come around," she looked toward Kaalim, "we thought after all the loss Kaalim has endured that we had lost him and he wanted to wallow in self Pitt but he is a man and they do not allow for such things to hold them down, to persevere we must overcome," then back to Magda, "as will you Magda..."
Kaalim sat silent and try as he might to fight looking at Magda his dark earthy brown eyes found hers, "I will speak with him, but I believe some time away will do Rian good. Both of you, but also seeing Cambria is wise we should restrengthen our relationship with them."

Magda nodded.
“I’ve been making inroads with the new sergeant here—Sergeant Abbott. He seems…malleable enough,” Magda smirked a little, thinking that she had been rather malleable in his hands, “It would be good to stay close to him while we’re away. Make sure his reports back to the Captain Commander remain satisfactory.”

"I have met Sergeant Abbott, I will work closely with him in your absence," Kaalim confirmed before looking at Ateppa, "May we have a moment love," Ateppa let out a sighing whimper of protest but that was all as she stood, "of course, Magda," she bowed only to kiss Magda on the cheek, "Don't be a stranger? My door and bed" Ateppa said with a seductive tone and smirk, "Are always open...," and she departed with a kiss for Kaalim, but she remained in the home.
Kaalim fixed his posture fighting every temptation to reach out and take the Sun, to take Magda and comfort her since Izens attack on her, yet he remained seated. Conflicted and confused about the war in his mind and heart. His mind had an army of caution while his heart was desire.
"Does Nevermere plan on fighting the Eldouir? I heard the demons occupy Dresmond." Kaalim was still a warrior and a man wrapped up in years of revenge as the Eldouir had caused him much pain.

Magda reached out, hand resting on Attepa’s hip with familiar ease as she kissed her. There was a hint of longing as she kissed Kaalim, but when Attepa left Magda turned back to Kaalim, her mind fully on what was in front of her. Or who, rather.
“Nothing is for certain, but if the rumors are to be believed…” Magda shrugged a little, “Then it’s only a matter of time. Besides, Cassian is a conqueror. He won’t be able to resist the new lands for long.” Magda smirked, “Though perhaps this time he will have bitten off more than he can chew.”

Kaalim paused to take that in but he did continue, "You doubt the King's mighty army to succeed in this potential war? Will he also fail at protecting us?" it caused a bit of concern within the large man, yet, "I want in on any future ideas to go to war...I have lost far to much at the hands of the fireheads to not get a chance to smash their skulls," and he was serious. Kaalim wanted his revenge.
Still he looked at Magda, longingly for a second, "But I will continue to serve my brother and you...first and foremost."

Magda’s shrug was slight, and accompanied by a look of vague disinterest. “I don’t doubt Nevermere’s military might, but managing an empire? Now, that’s a different matter entirely. If you want to crush Eldouir skulls, if you asked, I’m sure His Majesty would happily provide you the opportunity.” She met Kaalim’s gaze, face serious, “Just don’t expect to be alive on the other side. Nevermerean blood will always mean more to him than that of Coheed. Your death would be one he’d be willing to stomach.”
It was then that her eyes softened. Magda stood slowly and, unless stopped, would sit in Kaalim’s lap. She whispered in his ear then, each word slipping in like toxic poison.
“I intend to make this land ours—one way or another. Rian will be king, and you will lead our army to victory. You'll get your chance for war...don't worry."

Kaalim didn't stop Magda when she climbed into his lap, no he embraced her and all the tension in him seemed to slip away as his large arms wrapped around her. She was so small and delicate in his lap and Kaalim couldn't help but to replay previous memories of past encounters between the two...arousal and intrigue all mixed into one ball of emotion. He believed her when she said Cassian could stomach his death and he felt it deeply that she cared about him.
As she whispered in his ear Kaalim placed his face and lips against her neck into her hair, breathing her in, "...I will be your General..but I want you, Magda you have been in my dreams and my lust for you has only grown..."

Magda leaned into him. She’d started not to recognize where the fantasy, the theatrics, ended and the real started. The real…was that even something she could attain any longer? She could feel the magic coursing through her veins, this new power she had beyond attraction, beyond beauty, straight into the supernatural. That sweet toxin sank into Kaalim as she pivoted to straddle him, pressing her hips into his.
“Be patient…” Magda purred, gazing into his eyes, “I have great plans for you, Kaalim…and your hunger will be satisfied so long as you fulfill them. So long as you’re with me…”

Kaalim felt the blood rush into his gifted member freely hanging between his legs, his hands gripped both sides of her bottom pulling her hips closer. Everything about her was so invigorating and Kaalim Cyrilson was addicted, he'd fought the urges since she had married Rian for respected reasons but those thoughts be damned...especially now. He was clay in her clutches and he was hers to mold.

Magda smiled, still grinding her hips against Kaalim’s in a steady motion. After a moment more she lifted herself slightly, hands undoing the ties of Kaalim’s trousers and freeing him…though she made no moves to undress herself.
“Say it again…” Magda purred, stroking her hand up and down in slow rhythm, “Who is it you serve?”
