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!
Witch magic — Amelia mostly focuses on cursus and summons. Her second best ability is incantations, and thirdly potions. Potions are something she isn't well versed in. She doesn't want to spend time on finding ingredients and mixing them up into potions. She much more prefers powers that come from within, like curses, summons and incantations

Philippe got up and kissed Amelia goodbye. "I ought to get back", he said, and she nodded with a smile. "See you later", she said. The group had known that Philippe needed to leave, so it wasn't much of a surprise. They were down a man, but they had also gained Zarha's presence, so everything had balanced out again.
"Why didn't you want to fight his son?" Amelia asked, focussing on Zarha again. "Wouldn't it have been a good change to show them what our women are made of?"
[OOC: due to Bekah joining and making Amelia's husband, I'm letting him exit so I don't NPC him and we'll act like Jacob is just a regular friend instead of her paired werewolf]

Zarha waved Phippe goodbye as he left her eyes dfrited back to Amelia when she asked her why she didn't fight the kid. "The reason was because he was still a child, even though he possible just as skilled as I am. I thought it was unwise of me to fight a child. I didn't want to be known as the soldier who beat up a kid or lost to a kid." she explained

Okay, that was fair enough. She had thought the boy would have been at least sixteen, but beating up a child indeed wasn't a very good thing to do. "Ah, you're correct", she said.
"I bet you were just afraid to lose", Thomas teased, but it was obvious that he was joking.

they didn't think she was in their eyes she lost because she turned down the fight, but she rather not fight a kid, Coheed might think it is alright to do that but she is a Nevermere Witch. Giving Amelia a smile.
She turned her head to Thomas, "Right, a witch afraid to loose to a little kid." She joked back.

She listened to the conversation with a faint smile on her face, her eyes sliding across the faces of the people around the table. "I'm going to get some air", she said, getting ready to stand up. "Anyone want to join?" Her group of friends shook their head, which didn't hurt Amelia, because she didn't mind it at all. "Zarha?" she asked, to include the young woman. She would wait for a response, and then head towards the door to stand in front of the tavern for a bit. It was a bit crowded and loud inside. After training all day, she wanted a little bit of quiet for just a moment before she was ready for more noise.

Zarha looked at Amelia as she said that she going to stand outside, she smiled at her. "I'll join you, fresh air might do me some good." She explained as she stood up and followed Amelia outside, she felt the nip of the air outside and it brought her around a bit. "The Fresh air feels so nice." Speaking out loud. "You said you spent some time in coheed? How did you find it there?£ She asked looking at Amelia

Zarha followed, which was nice. Amelia hadn't gone outside to escape all conversation, she just wanted a calmer atmosphere for a little while. The older witch leaned against the wall of the establishment, propping one foot up against the wall. She looked over at Zarha when she spoke.
"Yeah", she agreed. The air did feel good. She then asked about her time in Coheed. "It must have been soon after they became part of Nevermere. I think it was still very different than what you saw, back then. Loud men, silent wives, more slave than woman. It wasn't really my thing", she explained.

Zarha stood next to Amelia who she just noticed was shorter than her however she could still sense that there was power in her, which she admired in a woman. "There are still loud men there, some men don't like the idea that they have to give women a say. Still improvements need to be made, but they won't be made overnight. The sun was nice though." Showing her age a bit there though as before Coheed she never experience the sun before so it was nice, warm.

Amelia chuckled dryly. "You don't need to go to Coheed to find men who despise a woman in charge", she said, running a hand through her thick hair. "Have you not noticed that apart from the military, women here don't have much of a say either?" She shook her head slightly in disbelief of the traditions. She didn't care much about it, as long as women in the military weren't robbed from their power. "The sun is indeed nice, but I don't know." She looked up at the cloudy evening sky. "I think I like the weather in Nevermere better."

Zarha smiled softly "It does seem like no matter where we go we will always have to try twice if not three times as hard as man to get even a chance at the same opportunity as them." She explained she run her hand through her hair and sighs softly. "Yet without us I doubt they will able to do as much as they soo claim they do."
Looking up to the cloudy Nevermere sky, "I did indeed miss the weather it wasn't home, Nevermere is home."

Zarha was right, but luckily the witches had a bit of an advantage in the Nevermerean military. Yet they weren't allowed to talk during open court. It was odd, but Amelia didn't pay it much mind, for she was mostly active in the military and liked to leave societal problems to other people. The woman chuckled. "Exactly. I'd like to see a man turn himself into a werewolf." The thought alone was horrible, in an amusing way. But out of control werewolves weren't as funny. Octavius was still looked at differently, while he hadn't chosen to be turned.
Again she nodded, still looking at the clouds. "I wouldn't trade it for the world. Sunburn doesn't suit me", she joked.

Zarha laughed at the vision of them trying to turn themself into werewolf, even though she know it no laughing matter, the events of the ball was eventful cause a witch turned Octavius into a wolf unwilling. "It be interesting to watch them try." She said she hopes Amelia know that she wasn't trying to make light of what happened that day a kid lost his life but the fact that the men trying to act more powerful then they are.
"I don't think it look good on anyone." She smiled softly

She nodded, shifting her position against the wall to put her other leg against it. "They wouldn't last a day", she said, which she knew was a lie. The men would simply be less powerful without witches. She smiled at the remark about sunburns, then changed the topic. "How old are you, Zahra? You look young still. Coheed at your age is definitely special, or the military is desperately trying to ready their cadets for a war."

Zarha smiled when she was asked about her ages. "i am nineteen, I have a feeling that we might be getting ready for war with how tight the regiment is getting.I feel like getting picked to go out on service is an honour. It give one a chance to learn about other cultures that not your own. There only so much books, and others can tell you. Somethings you need to see for yourself."

The girl didn't look like a noblewoman, at least not one from a family she had ever met, so she was surprised to hear the woman knew how to read, but didn't mention it. "A last glimpse of their true other culture", she said, agreeing. "In a few years, Cambria and Coheed will look like Nevermere, ideally at least." Would the borders keep existing, or would they become one big kingdom, relieved from the past? Nineteen was young. To Zarha, it would be a new reality, but to Amelia, it was a big difference with the Coheed and Cambria that had existed before 820, before they became part of Nevermere. "What do you hope to achieve in the military?" Amelia asked, looking over at the younger woman. "Position, rank, you know."
