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!
Needed a drink, yes that what Zarha need, she need to drink the night away, hoping that her problem will go away. She knows that the only way possible was to create a potion however that is against the law. Despite she is an unmarried women so she is in a lot of shit with the condition she is in. Why did she do this? She knew people kept telling her to relax a little bit, that she doesn't need to always train twenty four hours a day. though how can you expect you to ask somebody who clearly haven't had somebody care for her like Leander and Kaalim did... not to get as close as she did to them.
Sitting at the bar, with what be her second whisky of the night and taking a swing. She was hoping to drink the night away, also she was hopefully celebrating a bit. if she can.

A lot of the soldiers were on the tour, but Amelia had stayed behind. She didn't mind much. The woman had trained with her partner Jacob that day, together with some other pairs, and they had arranged to meet later that evening in the Sour Sailboat. Even Philippe, her husband, would be joining them. He wasn't a witch-paired soldier, just a regular soldier, but he often joined the outings to the tavern. Since they were child-less, nobody needed to be at home. Their marriage had a strong foundation in going out together and enjoying their time.
The group had settled down in the back of the tavern, at a big table. The first rounds had been on the others, and now it was time for Amelia to give a round. After making a mental note of everyone's orders, she headed over to the bar. "Four whiskeys, two ales and a cider", she told the barmaid. She would wait there for her to look up again so she could point at which table they were sitting at. She would help carry some of the drinks, but she couldn't possibly carry them all.
To her right, there was a younger girl sitting at the bar, drinking whiskey. Amelia looked at her for a moment, but didn't say anything. She recognised her as one of the younger soldiers. The woman had no reason to approach the other, and generally didn't really approach people anyway. People tended to speak to her, not the other way around. And most of the time, people who didn't know her well just wanted to ask her whether it was true that she was Vesper's sister.

As Zarha was sitting at the bar she noticed the lady who ordered a lot of drinks. Looking her for a moment, she was a pretty lady. There was a soft smile."Either a tough night, or you are out on the town?" She asked her. She noticed that she was one of the paired soilder's so in reality had no reason to talk to her before because they have a different training regiment. however at the moment so do herself working on stamina and stealth in regard to her wings.

Amelia had honestly not expected the younger soldier to talk to her. It had seemed like the girl was preoccupied with her drink, but she had noticed the large order. The older one looked to the side with a slightly raised eyebrow and then chuckled, amused by the remark that was made. "Clever girl", she responded with her somewhat deep, yet smooth and soft voice. "Rough training, so we've earned some drinks, don't you think? You seem to be doing the same." A smile remained on her face. She wasn't judging the other at all. She could sense that Zarha wasn't having the best night, and seeing her sitting here all by herself, it was... Sad. "Would you like to join us?" Amelia asked, nodding back at her group. There were seven of them: Amelia, her husband Philippe, her partner Jacob, and then two more witch-paired duos.

When the woman remarked with clever girl, she wouldn't call herself clever, cause look at the position she was in, she was about to be given the rank of scout yet, here she was getting drunk well pregnant she wasn't really clever in that regards. "I understand that sentiment with a long day.
When she offered to let her sit with her friends, she looked at the table that Zarha thinks are her friends. She doesn't know any one of them. However, it be nice to be in some company right now. "I would truly like to join you. If your friends don't mind?" She doesn't want to intrude if they were out together.

She could see the girl look over at her table, then back to her. Amelia laughed softly and then looked at the barmaid, who was ready to bring her order. "Over there", she said before picking up the ales. The barmaid walked out from behind the counter to serve her friends, and Amelie looked at Zahra once more. "They won't mind. Come on", she said, gesturing with her head at the table to get Zarha to follow her.
She would then walk over to the table and place the ales down. "Folks, we have one more person joining the party. This is, uh", she looked at Zarha. "I actually don't know your name." She would give Zahra the time to introduce herself before pointing at everyone, one by one, and stating their names. "This is my partner, Jacob. That's my husband, Philippe. Then you have Mary, Thomas, Joan and Harry."
She would take her seat again, and Harry would pull a chair the table next to them do Zahra would have a seat.

Smiling softly when Amelia should that they wouldn't mind. Following her to the table when she said that she didn't know her name, of course. "Name is Zarha." She explained and if Amelia told her name she would think it is kinda of a very petty name to match a stunning woman. However, when she reached the table she was introduced to the people there. Jacob was the paired partner, Philipee was her husband then there was Mary, Thomas, Joan and Harry, all names she had to try and remember.
"Nice to meet you all. My name is Zarha." She gave her best at a friendly smile even though she not the best at group social events one to one she getting better with. being social with a group is still a task she hasn't crossed over yet, but this be a nice little test.

Zahra introduced herself and joined them at their table. It was then that Amelia realised she hadn't introduced herself. "Where are my manners", she said, chuckling lightly. "I'm Amelia." She thought how since she had taken her husband's last name, people tended to not immediately ask her if she was related to Vesper, since her last name wasn't Delvaux anymore. It was odd to see her big sister in the military wing again every so often, but it wad also nice. They weren't the closest, but she was grateful for everything Vesper had done for her.
Amelia took one of the whiskeys while the others found their drink as well. She took a sip and looked at the young girl over the brim of the glass. "So, you weren't invited on the tour?" Jacob asked Zahra. He was curious, and not condescending or anything like that.

Zarha smiled softly at amelia saying about manners. "Don't worry with manners around me. just be yourself." She explained as she takes a seat. she took a swig of her whisky when she was asked about the tour. "No i wasn't I not long came back from being stationed in Coheed for a while. Plus I am only a privet." She explained. "What about you lot, didn't get the honour?" She inquired.

It was odd to hear someone so much younger tell her not to worry about manners around her. It made Amelia think that she was repeating something that people told her. She didn't read too much into it and simply smiled to make the young soldier feel welcome in the group.
Zahra answered Jacob's question, and the group mumbled in agreement and understanding. Perhaps Zahra was indeed a bit too young for the tour, but little did they know she had already gone to Coheed. The group chuckled at her question. "It's mostly Philippe who didn't get the honour", Mary said, elbowing Philippe in the side. "Most witch-paired soldiers stayed to train, but Philippe is a regular soldier", Mary explained. Amelia took a sip from her drink, trying to gauge her husband's reaction. She knew he had felt bitter about not being invited along, especially because apart from a soldier, he was also a nobleman. "It is what it is", Philippe said dryly, taking a big sip of his whiskey.
"Who's training the young privates these days?" Amelia asked, trying to change the subject.

Zarha gave a soft smile to Phllipe, "Nothing wrong with just being a regular soldier, I am just a regular soldier" She explained even though she didn't know how much longer she will have the job so she take a sip.
When she was asked who was training the privates. She shrug her shoulders, "i was in cohead for two seasons, last time i checked it was a old man called Baros was one of the drills instructors. It was Aldrich for a while."

There was indeed nothing wrong with it. Philippe smiled, but still felt a bit bitter. Zarha then told them who the trainers were. Mary almost choked on her drink, because she knew Aldrich well. They had once shared the bed. For some reason, that made her feel like she knew him better and had to defend his name. "I didn't know privates were allowed to call superiors by their first name nowadays", she said, a bit sarcastically. "Abbott certainly wouldn't allow it."
Amelia gave her a side-eye, but shared the sentiment. Privates should have respect for their superiors. "Coheed, huh? Fun", Amelia said. "It's been a while since I've been there."
Post by Zarha Sliva on Jun 13, 2024 10:21:06 GMT -5
Fuck she doesn't want them to think she doesn't respect her superiors. "I mean Abbott. I have respect for him." It's just the booze and the hormones that playing with her brain. She laughed slightly at the comment, "Lietanent Abbott is a great solder and I am honoured to be trained under him." She does have her regiment that Hadrian asked her to be put on which was stealth and stamina to work on being a scout.
Looking at Amelia when she asked about Cohead and explained that she was there for a bit. "It is educational being there. Learnt a lot about the culture, the people and myself overthere." More then she would like to admit and shows that she can talk to people. even though her slip up by calling Aldrich by his first name in front of other soldiers makes her think other wise.
People are always like need to relax more, have a read of the people, however that is much harder then one person can think, it is easier for people when they are used to reading people, but when you are not used to it, it is a lot harder.

Mary relaxed in her seat when the girl explained she had respect for him, and Jacob looked at her with a look that told her to calm down. It had been an honest mistake in Zarha's part. He then looked at Zarha and nodded with a smile, trying to make her feel comfortable.
"They have an interesting culture. I'm curious to see how they will be incorporated into Nevermere further, and how the tour will like Coheed." She chuckled. "I think the men will be intimidated by the Coheedians power."
Post by Zarha Sliva on Jun 14, 2024 7:24:12 GMT -5
Zarha give a soft smile of thanks towards Jacob who tried to make her feel more relaxed around them. That was nice of him at least. "Yeah it be interesting to see how this tour turns out. The men possible will be intimated at first. A few of the men there do need to learn there lessons though, on of them was shocked that i would turn down a fight with his son. undermining my ability to fight because of it. but I soon told him." Plus also Leander helped her out and she is grateful for him.
