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 @frederick
Another day, another day of training, it has seems like once she have left nevermere for Coheed things got slightly more on the ball with routines. Not like Zarha would complain about more training sessions. Today she is training with someone who looks a lot like Ben. She had a fun time talking to him in the tavern and truth be told that was the first time she actually she talked to a man on more of a personally level.
"Hey dancer boy do you want to train together?" She gave him a smirk, she wonder if his fighting skills was as any good as his dancing skills, not that she can talk much on the matter, cause that was the first time she ever danced with anyone.

Fred was watching as various people started pairing up and was surprised when a stunner of a woman addressed him with a smile that seemed to hint at more than pleasantries. Dancer boy? Was she talking to him? He looked around him to see if anyone else was looking at the woman and finding no one he looked back at her and pointed to himself with a questioning look. Was she really talking to him?
He hesitantly walked towards her. "I mean, I'd be honored to train with you, my lady," he replied to the stranger. "Though I have to admit, you look like you could definitely take me out without much trouble," he added with a little self-depreciating laugh.

When Dancer boy pointed to herself, there was a small laugh, he acted like he didn't know her but then called her a lady. "I don't know if you are trying to flatter me with compliments to try and get an upper hand in this, or learnt something about me. However, I am sure you can take me out no problem." Even though she would love the idea of getting him on his back, she knew this was a training session so she was focused on trying to keep on her game and improving herself.
"I do prefer hand-to-hand combat... it helps me get to know the partner better." She gave a wink in Fred's direction.
She definitely seemed more familiar with him than he was with her but he also just assumed it was her confidence and charisma shining through. He was certainly enamored by the attention and was looking forward to sparring with such a beautiful and charismatic woman. He wasn't confused enough to try to question her more and smiled with a bit of a blush as she winked at him.
"Hand to hand it is," he said with a smile. Fred and his partner, Veda, had worked for a while now on training other paired soldiers so he wasn't intimidated by the idea of training with her, other than the fact that she really did look like she had plenty of skill to kick his ass.
He removed the practice sword from his hips and then moved to stand in front of Zarha in a ready stance. "Let's see what you've got."

When Fred blushed she couldn't help but take note of it, it did look cute on him. However, she did wonder how he looked on the floor as she pinned him down with her foot. However, her eyes and face focused on the task ahead. She wasn't one who didn't put in 110% in her work. She does get moaned at a bit but her experience in Coheed has made her realise that she can be good at anything she puts her mind to. "You will enjoy seeing me from a new angle soon." there was a hint of teasing in her voice.
When they got into stance she looked towards Fred he was taller in height and clearly have the muscles to suggest years of training, which made sense in the position he is in. If her memory correct Ben told her that he is a royal guard. So he is trained to be great at disarming people and doing whatever is needed to protect the Crown.
Zarha went towards him knowing the best way to try and beat him was to catch him off guard. So she will try and uppercut him in the face and then she will try and karate kick on in the stomach.
Her confident teasing was certainly causing him to be flustered. Most training sessions didn't turn out like this and certainly not with a stranger. He chuckled almost nervously at her teasing words before she was moving towards him suddenly. He hadn't expected her to jump in quite so quickly but his training kicked in as instinct more than actual thought. He barely dogged her uppercut with a dodge to one side which left her following kick landing on his hip rather than his stomach.
He grunted but tried to get his mind focused. This girl wasn't messing around. He moved to aim a punch at her stomach and hoping that he at least distracted her, swept his leg behind her ankles in hopes of getting her to fall.

When she kicked his hip she smirked a little bit, she caught him off guard and even if this was the only hit of the season it was still good enough for her. In her head she managed to kick a royal guard so it is a win for her. When he tries to punch her, it hits her stomach. However, as he tries to trip her up, she tries to grap his arm, placing her hand near his armpit as he moved his leg she tries to drag him well kicking just below the knee, before she put Ben/Fred's arm behind him.
Fred might not have been the best solider their was but the was pretty skilled after being in his position for as long as he was. Still, this woman was definitely throwing him off and he was soon caught with his arm pinned behind him and making pained noises as his shoulder twisted. It was an excellent job on Zarha's part as she definitely had the advantage over him and he was left with his free arm flailing.
Zarha had to smirk when she managed to pin an arm behind 'Ben's' (Freds) back. Zarha stepped closer to him as stated pressing her body against his back. "Get on your knees." There was a hint of a flirty tone in her voice. She was enjoying the feeling that she was beating someone who has more experience, who could blame her though? He is hot, experienced and is willing to train with her.
