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.

Hearing those words about her mother made her laugh softly. Maybe her mom had been more like Helena than she had thought. It was also hard to impress, but when she was proud of you, you'd appreciate it twice as much.
Scout kept her head on Tybalt shoulder for about a minute, enjoying the hug as she watched over Thaddius. Then, she'd move to the side again, to give Tybalt some room. "If I ever have a daughter, I will name her after my mother." And if she had a son, maybe his name would be a combination of her father's name, and Tybalt's. Her uncle had been like a father to her, after all. "And as for this one, I can't wait to spoil him with gifts." Scout chuckled.
Arynnite armor: The armor have two states: active and inactive. When inactive, they look like little more than ornate metal bracers, easily ignored. When triggered, the armor covers Tybalt and serves as an exoskeleton. It will protect its wearer from physical damage and is practically indestructible.
The armor has a certain "preprogrammed" purpose which is to protect its host. To do so, it reacts to heightened emotional states such as fear and anger, at which point the armor will trigger regardless of whether or not Tybalt wants it to or even if he's immediately aware of the threat. It has some degree of awareness and sentience although very basic and one which struggles to differentiate between enemies and friends. Whilst not actually in possession of a will, the armor can guide or direct its host in a specific action, much like a reflex.
The armor needs to be "fed" as Tybalt has discovered meaning that he must hold and absorb through touch certain metals such as steel, copper, iron and tin, a process which takes a few minutes. Without which, the armor will begin to weaken and become less effective until no longer able to manifest.
Perhaps its greatest weakness is that if being consistently bashed or beaten, it would begin to repair itself by using parts of the armor from elsewhere. For instance, if the wearer is being consistently hit in the chest, the armor will begin to pool away from other parts of their body such as the feet and hands, leaving them vulnerable.

Thinking of his big sister was always a bittersweet experience. She was no longer here, but had left behind such a wonderful daughter. He couldn't claim to be Irma's equal when it came to raising her only child. One day, when his time finally came, he hoped that he would be able to tell her about the fine woman that Scout had become/
Tybalt had to chuckle at Scout's comments about spoiling the little one. It was tempting indeed. It wasn't exactly a Kane tradition though. They tended to err towards a more frugal, and spartan existence. At the very least, his own parents had brought him up in such a way."Well, don't go to far. We need to learn to appreciate what we have." All the same, the captain of the Royal Guard found himself smiling as he watched the little baby. "He'll be great. Whatever might come."

She smiled. She was definitely more giving and less Spartan than the rest of the family, which meant she tended to shower everyone in love and gifts. "Of course", she said. "He will indeed be great, I'm sure of it."

Tybalt leaned on the edge of the cot, contemplating his youngest son in silence. It seemed as if they had come so far in just five years. He struggled to associate his current self, with the man he had been back then. He'd been certain that he was going to end his life unmarried, and childless on a battlefield somewhere. Now, he had a family. It didn't replace the brothers, and sisters he'd lost of course, but they were a promise that things could get better, if they were given the chance.
"We should probably let him rest." The captain suggested. "Are you hungry?"
