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.

Ona cocked her head to the side. So these redheads weren't born with powers? Or at least they didn't develop until they were older. She hadn't known that. It was interesting information, but it was also information that would make you a child-murderer if you were to act on it. To make sure there was no next generation of Eldouir, you could kill all the still-powerless ones, but Ona couldn't imagine herself doing it. For one, they were powerless, in both senses of the word. And secondly, they hadn't done anything wrong yet, apart from being born in a horrible family.
"Around what age do Gifts manifest?" she asked, genuinely curious about the subject.

For once Ishmael smirked and the music stopped, "Helga, bone," and as he said this the bird stopped dancing but stood almost comatose while the youngest looking child came running to Ishmael, he had produced a little rawhide bone to which Helga sunk sharp transformed teeth and snapped the bone in half, "It's not about when, if a child of two Gifteds is born they will be Gifted, it's how you hone what blessing their born with that matters in a sense of power," his head titled slightly to the side, "You could probably take out one if you really really tried," and now would she wonder if he knew what she was wondering, "But that would be a death sentence for whoever tried, you've thought it...who hasn't?"

Of course the kid walking towards her father to receive a bone to chew on resulted in a raised eyebrow on Ona's part. This Helga was like a little dog. It amused Ona more than it scared her. Maybe that's wat constant exposure to the Eldouir had done to her.
Hearing Ishmael speak didn't exactly answer her question, but she understood that it wasn't as simple as an age-indicator. She smirked at his remark. Her questions hadn't been as subtle as she had hoped. Still standing against the piano, she shrugged. "I'm not a child murderer, so you've got nothing to worry about." She then grabbed a chair and sat down next to the piano and Ish. "But since we're on the topic of child murder, how did you convince Eirwen to bury those Dresmondi kids? She must have known there was no way they would emerge with a dyr."

"Eirwen is an obedient dog, she was trained with a firm hand and she simply aims to please," Ish shrugged, "She warned me it wouldn't work, but I ignored it; you must crack a few eggs to make a breakfast Ona, trial and error," Ishmael leveled with Ona since she was so close to him his green eyes didn't appear to look through her but seeing her for once, "You understand the importance of that Medallion correct?"

Maybe he was a true Eldouir after all. While she wasn't a child murderer, he definitely was. He had sent those children to the grave, knowing fully well there was no chance of them emerging. Again she was thankful that Uma hadn't made it. She wouldn't have been old enough for the Naming Ceremony yet, but if Ishmael had tried this a couple years later, Uma might as well have been one of them. "I'm aware, but I have no idea where it is. I don't think anyone knows", she responded truthfully.

And with her final statement Ishmael gave a flat 'dun dun duunnn' sound from the piano, "Shame," and he stood stepping around the piano first pulling his youngest straight off the ground and putting her on his shoulder, "But it won't deter our will to find it Ona, it's do or you'll find the death of all Dresmondi, I hope that will encourage your people," he then spoke a broken weird click of words like a birds beak clacking together and the vulture took four hops towards the door flying away.
"Follow children, times up here, we mustn't let the whores and their friends go dry," Ishmael told his children who fell in line behind Ish who had cast Ona one last look, "I look forward to my next visit Ona, good night."
