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!

yeah it uncommon for commoners to read but Warren Woodrick asked her if she had any goals and she told him, she would love to learn how to read and write so he brought he a tutor to learn the basic of reading and writing. "One last glimpse." She doesn't think they are too bad she became super close to some of them like Kaalim and his wife, however, nobody knows about their relationships.
When Amelia asked what she wanted to achieve in the military, she thought for a bit. "The main thing forme to make a good name for my self within the military. It would be nice to have a position within the military, it will give great opportunity for my siblings. It will take a lot of work, and dedication on my part. I do not have a position I am aiming for any would be a honour." She smiled. She is young plus Hadrian did give her a chance to become a Scout it is truly a privling to do that/
"do you have any goals within the military?" She asked she does want to know more about the woman in front of her as she looked into her eyes.

Amelia nodded along to what Zahra told her. "Names are definitely important in the military." If Zarha made a name for herself, her siblings would be associated with her, which could help them in their careers. "And I know what I'm talking about." She smiled mysteriously. "My maiden name is Delvaux, if that rings a bell. That should tell you who I'm related to, so names hold power, but also mean there are big shoes to fill." Or one shoe, in Amelia's case. She couldn't fill a peg leg. Which also led her to her own goals. "Same as you, really. Make a name for myself. So far, it's working. People don't see me as an extension of Vesper anymore, and are starting to see me for who I am." That she wanted to become the witch-paired Captain was something she would keep to herself. Amelia was never very clear and outright with her answers. She preferred to keep things to herself, and be a bit mysterious instead.

When Amelia explained that she was Vesper's sister, a part of her want to stand up straighter. leaning outside a tavern slightly drunk wasn't ideal soilder but a part of her as she explained that she want to make a name for herself just as much as the next person. There was a warm smile, the woman is mysterious. She likes that Amelia is mysterious,"It is always important to make you own paths, be your own sort of person."

Amelia was able to sense the shift in Zarha, which was both amusing and annoying. She liked being treated with respect, but if she was only respected because of whose sister she was, it wasn't much of a compliment or achievement. She was a lieutenant, too, but didn't train Zarha's age group. She mostly worked with the witch-paired duos.
She nodded once more, in agreement with what Zarha said. Her eyes lingered on the houses on the other side of the street, watching people walk by. It was a quiet and peaceful evening. It was on the chilly side, but still pleasant enough.

Zarha does Respect the woman next to her, she looked towards the house Amelia was looking at, running her finger through her hair. She resisted the urge in her because she respect Amelia and know she wasn't her sister. "I used to have a twin brother, we used to be close however as he was stronger, more charismatic, he made it look so easy to be the centre of the room. I looked up to him we was the closest thing ever." Zarha explained her voice was soft, gentle.
"you have a sense of mystery that I respect" She saying all this not because she have to but because she respect her not because of her sister being the inspector but because she was the first person here in nevermere who willing to be a friend or at least talk to and she need that right now.

Amelia looked back at Zarha when the young woman spoke. "Used to? What happened to him?" she asked, kindness in her voice, but not in a coddling way, or a tone that dripped of sympathy.
She then mentioned that she respected how mysterious she was, which made Amelia laugh softly. "Is that so?" she asked, a rhetorical question really, slightly raising an eyebrow. Then she shrugged. She didn't have anything to add to the observation. Maybe that was even more mysterious, but Amelia just liked to keep to herself.
"Friends?" The raised eyebrow remained, but her face was friendly. "That's a big word after a drink and some semi-idle chatter outside a tavern." She didn't decline the offer to be friends, but did state the obvious, because Amelia wasn't one to consider someone a friend so quickly.

Zarha takes a sigh. "That for another night." She doesn't want to make the mood sad by mentioning how her twin is now dead. cause nobody wants to hear how somebody's brother died when they were sixteen.
when Amelia mentioned calling them friends after a drink and a chit-chat, she rubbed the back of her head. She did it again. "I mean... I would like to hang more." Like of course it came of too fast and that it is odd but reading daces and moods and social interaction has always been hard for Zarha.

Amelia didn't say anything, just nodded. Fair enough. She wasn't owed an explanation.
In response to her taking about friendship, Zarha said she'd like to hang out more. 'Hang out'. Amelia smiled, amused by the wording. It sounded so informal, and she wondered if Zarha didn't understand that she eas of a much higher rank. "Are you always so straight forward, or is it the alcohol talking?" she asked, pushing a strand of hair behind her ear.

why couldn't Zarha speak right? When Amelia asked if she was this straight forward or if it the brooze drinking. "I believe it might be the alchole, I don't really drink that much, if at all. She laugh. "I am normally more reserved, people tell me to open up more and I am more respectful of my higher-ups." She explained. her voice was slightly apologetic

Amelia grinned. "You're in Nevermere, you should learn how to handle your alcohol", she said, not unkindly. "Pave yourself, there's plenty of time in the evening for all kinds of drinks." She looked at the woman. "People who drink this quickly are looking to get drunk. Either because they are looking for a good time, or because something is troubling them. What's your motivation for getting drunk?"
Post by Zarha Sliva on Jul 4, 2024 16:31:02 GMT -5
Zarha laughed, "Yeah I've never been a drinker. never one to go out and be social rather be training so learning to drink is a new ball game" She laughed softly. When she asked if the reason she drinking fast was because she looking for a good time or something troubling her mind. She is pregnant with Kaalim's baby. of course something is troubling her. however, she can't share that reason.
"just have stuff on my mind," she explained running a hand through her hair.

Her response amused her, and she laughed. "That's fair enough", she said, but it did honestly surprise her. A lot of people drank heavily in Nevermere, nobility and commoners alike. Nobility drank for fun and commoners to forget reality.
And apparently Zarha was drinking for the second reason. She nodded slightly. "Something you wish to talk about?" she asked.
Post by Zarha Sliva on Jul 4, 2024 16:53:46 GMT -5
When Amelia asked her if she wanted to talk about it, she wished she could. however in the society they are in, if she speaks what is really on her mind, she will lose everything. What can one say. "just men issues." She explained. which is true in so anyway butkeeping it as vage as possible.

The corner of Amelia's mouth lifted into a half-grin, half-smile. "And so we find ourselves on the topic of men again. It seems like they're the start and end of our problems, always", she said, trying to keep the air light and funny.
Zarha laughed at the joke, "It seems to be that way. No matter how much we try." There was a sad but joyus spark in Zarha twinkle in her eyes. She cares about men, she really cares about Kaalim.She really cares about Leander when he was in her life, but there are time where they made life a lot more complicated.
