My post will be up in about two to four hours. I forgot I was having missionaries over for dinner. Oops. I have to cook. Sadness.
Ok I may have got a tad carried away. Below are close up pics of the gifts that are waiting in the wards personal rooms. They each have seven yards of Dornish silk. The silk is folded neatly and bound with an hand embroidered ribbon. The ribbon width is three fingers wide. The pic only shows a small portion of the whole long ribbon. It has their house words, other images that symbolize their house, and fancy stitching.












Happy everyone liked it! :D






Interacting With: Leofric @Nightwing95, Aeryn @Musoka





"But I have to compliment the Queens eye for fashion. You look astoundingly gorgeous your Highness." - Leofric Said

Myriah first genuine smile of the day was aimed right at Leofric. She did look rather beautiful today, even if she didn't think so herself. Leofric was no liar, so she took his compliment happily, and her sweet smile was her reply. Both of the handmaiden's curtsied to the Kingsguard, and then went about their tasks in the room. Freida swept the ash out of the fire place, as Roslin poured Myriah's morning tea. "It's not even noon, and they are basically all here? I expected arrivals throughout the day. I really can't wait to meet them." She said Leofric, as she walked over to the small table, and picked up her teacup. "Tea?" Roslin asked him, as she waited with the teapot in hand.

In walked Aeryn just as Freida finished with the fire place. Freida had been head over heels for Aeryn since she first met him two months ago, apparently she thought he was the most attractive man she had ever seen. She stood up quickly when he entered and smiled when he greeted her. Myriah took a sip of the sweet floral tea and then placed it on the table. "Aeryn." She said happily to him as he walked right past Leofric and stood next to her.

"I preferred the other dress honestly" - Whispered Aeryn

Myriah looked down at herself, and then back at Aeryn "As did I. Mother is rather insistent though. Apparently first impressions are everything. What she is trying to convey with this dress, I really have no idea. Luckily I can change out of it, after the official introductions in the throne room." Myriah said to him. The plan was that once all the wards arrived, they would be guided to the throne room where the King would welcome them, and most likely give a speech about his hopes for friendship and peace to blossom between the houses. Most of the court would be standing in attendance to. Myriah was suppose to sit next to her mother the Queen, and her other siblings would also be arranged around their parents too.

Roslin excused herself, and practically had to drag daydreaming Frieda with her. The poor girl had been blissfully staring at Aeryn this whole time. "Shall we head to the throne room, or do you think I should introduce myself to the heirs in the common room on my own? " She asked the men. She would rather meet them all in a less formal way, but her parents had their ideas about how they wanted things done. So far this morning had been going rather well for her. She had not freaked out, or seen anything imaginary yet so hopefully the rest of the day would be just as good.

She bit her bottom lip, as she was just a tab nervous about meeting them all. Apparently they were all around her age. Idly she wondered where Illysia and Toran were at in the castle. Though it seemed to still be a tad early, as she remembered her sister usually liked to sleep in. Toran though was possibly up and about. It was weird that he was here as a guard for Gabriel. When she saw him in his uniform the day he arrived, she laughed. It had been two years since she last saw him, and it seemed like he had grown a foot taller. He also was now sporting facial hair, and all in all she was just so happy to see him. Princess Shaena had basically been following hi around for the past three days.

Since the heirs had all gotten here early in the day she wondered if her father would have them join breakfast. Her father had given her the role of chaperone in some way. Not that she was to watch over them, but she told to play hostess. That sounded dull to her so, and she really just wanted to make friends and get to know them all.
Ok Ok I'm here!! Working on Myriah's post now!! :D
I used Gimp. It's like a free version of Photoshop. I found embroidery of thing to go with each house, and basically made a collage kind of thing.

EDIT:: ok I'm walking into work now. I have to put my phone away. Sadness.
@The Nebulous Fixed!! :D
I'll have my post up for Myriah around 4-5pm today after I finish work! I have the rest of the week off, so get ready for some fun. :)

EDIT:: oops! sorry for the double post!

Interacting With: Leofric @Nightwing95





Myriah had been awake since before dawn. She had woken from a nightmare, and after reassuring herself for over an hour that it was just a bad dream, she finally got out of bed. She was too scared to even try and go back to sleep. So she sat in her window wrapped in her blankets, as she watched the dark night sky slowly changed to lighter blues as the sun rose up. The morning light made the water in the bay sparkle. The only thing she could see from the window in her bedchamber was Blackwater Bay, and some rocky cliffs, but this was the view she woke up to her whole life. The chilly morning air, and salty mist from the waters outside were something that always calmed her panicked heart. She tried not to think about the nightmare, but the cawing sound of the seabirds outside her window reminded her of it.

Muted colors, and eerie fog had been what made up the most of her dream. The sounds of scavenger birds, and flashes of a decomposing falcon, under a haunting full moon made up the rest. The last thing she saw before she woke up was swarms of ants, fish with razor sharp teeth, and blood red rain drops.

It was early morning when her handmaidens, Roslin Hersy, and Freida Myatt came inside to wake Myriah, and help her dress. "Good morning your Highness." they said in unison as they curtsied, and then got to work. They placed out Myriah's dress and jewels for the day. The blue dress draped over the foot of the bed, and the assortment of jewelry laid next to it. Roslin had been her handmaiden for the last five years now, and Freida has been for the last two months. The red haired woman was someone Myriah considered a friend, but in the presence of others, they both stuck to formality. "Morning already..." She said looking over to the two woman, and gently smiling. She glanced at the dress and wrinkled her nose. Maybe she should just throw it out the window, and then she wouldn't have to wear it.

The princess's mother had picked out all of her children's clothing today. She had told Myriah that first impressions were extremely important, especially with the wards arriving today, and then the queen proceeded to choose the only dress in Myriah's entire wardrobe that she disliked. It was too low cut and reveling for Myriah's taste. Something she would never had bought for herself, it had been a gift for her 16th name day. She had not gained the confidence to wear it yet, but apparently that didn't matter. It suited her older sister Illysia much better. In terms of body proportions, Myriah was thin, bony, and hardly a B cup. Illysia on the other hand had a perfect body, and could pull off such slinky dresses as this.

Sighing she got up from the window seat, and walked over to the dress Roslin had laid out for her. The light blue silk had a pretty sheen to it, but that was really the only thing she could admire about it. Taking off her nightdress she stood naked as the ladies dressed her in the revealing gown. They wrapped and tied the blue silk around her waist, and She glanced at herself in the mirror across the room. Myriah frowned and quickly looked away. She had no issues with how her body looked, but this dress was not for her. Once the dress was on, she sat down at her vanity, and Freida proceeded to brush Myriah's messy black hair into less wild waves. She typically wore her hair naturally down, and let it be. But today it was braided into the a popular style among the noble ladies at court.

"You should wear dresses like this more often. This silk is beautiful. Your skin looks amazing with this color." Freida said looking enviously at the dress, as she pinned Myriah's hair into fashion. Roslin rolled her eyes, and proceeded to make the bed behind them. Most people knew Myriah's preference for long sleeves and necklines that didn't reveal any cleavage. She also liked to hand embroider all her gowns, and before her mother decided to dress the family how she pleased for today, Myriah had been working on a gown for today. She had ordered some pretty blue linen, and spent quite a bit of time stitching a delicate floral pattern up the front of the skirt, and down the sleeves. The dress was now unfinished, and folded up in the trunk at the end of her bed.

"Oh Freida dear, you've just reminded me. Have the gifts been laid out in each of the wards chambers?" She asked Roslin who had finished the bed and was picking out a tiara for Myriah. "Yes the silks you and your mother chose have been left on the beds in their rooms. They are tied with the ribbons you made too. I can't believe you spent so much time making those. They are most likely going to be tossed away." Roslin said to her. "Well you know how mach I like needlework. Besides I thought they might appreciate it. Ribbons embroidered with their house colors and symbols, seemed a bit more personal then fancy dornish silk."

Today was the day most of the new wards would be arriving. Messenger ravens had been sent ahead of the traveling parties to inform the king of there timely arrivals. Last night at dinner it was all her younger siblings could talk about. Prince Aenor was extremely happy that he was able to convince his father to allow the wards to bring their pets. Ever the animal lover, he was just excited to see direwolfs, bears, snake, and the like come to the castle. Little princess Shaena didn't care either way, she was much to focused on her new strand of pearls, and pretty doll her mother had bribed her with so she would behave, and her Beloved Toran had already arrived three days prior. Prince Valerion had heard the stories about some of the wards triumphs in fights and was excited to meet them, he hoped to spare with them.

Now that it was daylight and it had been hours since she woke from the bad dream, she was feeling much better, and rather excited to see the new wards. Tonight's welcome feast was also something to look forward to. She really hoped nothing would go wrong today, that she wouldn't do anything crazy. Lady Freida finished fastening the silver tiara to her hair. As Roslin opened the door for Ser Leofric. Myriah stood up from her vanity table, and slid on her ring. "Good Morning Ser Leofric. Have any of them arrived yet?" She asked brightly as she referred to the wards. She walked across the room to greet him. He had been her sworn sword for three years now, and saw him as a kind of uncle figure.
