They say it's about the journey, not the destination. This is true of many things. Pizza delivery is not one of them.

TFW you know what you want to happen but the words aren't cooperating. Why is plot suddenly so much harder to write?

Bio

I am an adult, though I don't usually act like it. I'm a voracious reader, and not overly picky about books. I am artistic in a variety of areas, including music, drawing, writing, and sculpting. I have a minor obsession with dragons, and love the color violet. Fantasy is my preferred genre, be it past, future, urban...as long as it has a fantasy flavor to it. I also like scifi, mystery, and some horror. I am crazy, and I like tormenting my characters. But I don't bite...much. ^.~

@Prince of Seraphs Are we sure? If he was so in love with Arys, then...hm. Well, that's a point about fey, but him being closer to human it seems odd that he's the one that slept around -- and that she was the one so upset by it.
@Prince of Seraphs Hm. Well, firstly, I figured the easiest way to overthrow Feoras as a ruler is by killing him. I'm sure there's other methods, but that's the most straightforward.

@BlackPanther The impression I got was that excluding Spring was part of the intention. I'm not clear how allying with Fall, knowing that will eventually include Winter, will be of greater benefit than the cost for alienating Spring, and possibly allowing it to be overthrown, but that's just me. And yup, it seems Feoras is impulsive, because he thought it through /after/ he said it. =P What I meant by guarantee was that a friendship here is assumed to be a close alliance that would not be betrayed, not that he can guarantee Falk will accept.

As to you being female...I honestly can't say I noticed, but then again I tend to be a little strange online in that I go between username and avatar, and am wrong as often as not. I'll try to remember. ^.^;; That said, I don't think I've referred to you with any third-person pronouns recently.
@Prince of Seraphs@Belle Also this makes me wonder precisely what Feoras did, to make Arys so hurt and angry. We say that fey don't feel as strongly as humans, turned or otherwise, and yet her reaction seems rather extreme, even for a human. Feoras loved her, and it was an accident, so just what happened? Of course, overreacting because she's still young isn't out of the question, and probably played a role.
@Prince of Seraphs Hey now, there's no indication he /doesn't/ want to ally with Spring, but I am a little curious, as I understood Summer to be somewhat closer to Spring. *shrug* Falk doesn't seem the sort to form close ties often. I can see where he wants to be on the same side as Winter -- and if he's wise, to have her unable to strike at him. But I do question the wisdom of assuming friendship is a guarantee, and of trying to specifically exclude Spring in the first place. It's an interesting move, for sure. @BlackPanther I wonder if he's impulsive, or if he has reasoning behind it....

It would be rough for Summer if Feoras was still around, though. I'd think he'd try to take back the throne at...just about any cost. Plus his rage being known as it is, leaving him alive is hardly wise for the new ruler.
@Vena Sera In Scotland.
@BlackPanther this is us, not our chars, silly.

@Prince of Seraphs RIGHT?! *flailing* WHAT DO, OH MIGHTY SPRING RULER? I'm doubting Falk will agree, but if he does...well, then again, he does hate Spring and Nyx. UGH. ...Hm, marriage might be -- no, it's definitely an alliance of sorts. CRUD. Any way I look at this, there's really not much recourse for Spring here. CURSE IT. It's not possible to be closer allies to Winter than Fall is going to be. Adn it's not possible (most likely) to be on good terms with Fall at all. Summer is not particularly strong at the moment...UGH. Plus if Arys does get her heart back...oh wait, no...actually hm. If she didn't want to feel, that implies that she /does/ still care about Summer -- and that he hurt her. So even if she dislikes him, she does care, to some degree. Makes me wonder if she would be in favor of deposing him after all....Although from a strictly OOC standpoint I doubt deposing Feoras is possible. That would leave Panther with nobody to play -- and Summer without a PC leader.
@BlackPanther curse it, Feoras. T.T Everyone hates Spring. =P @Prince of Seraphs WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS.
“Unfreezing her heart? A bold request...and one that will have far-reaching results,” the knight murmured softly, turning the idea over in her head. “It might be worth seeing if we can find it first -- though I wonder if Falk would even consider bartering for the information, with how he feels about you and Spring.” She sighed. “If her heart is no longer frozen, I am not sure how Queen Arys will handle Summer. It may be there is an opportunity to strengthen our relationship to Winter there, though at the cost of our bonds to Summer. Still as you say, a stronger Summer would be of great benefit -- though hardly a guarantee.” Sini too remembered that conversation of inciting a shift in the leadership of Summer, but she was not sure she thought the benefit to outweigh the risks. She would have to think on whether that remained her opinion, with Falk’s new efforts.

The Archon requested she join him to receive Winter’s emissary, and she dipped her head in acknowledgement. She accompanied him to the Great Hall and took her place to one side of the dais, flaring her wings for a moment to fix how they fell at her back before going still. The Queen of Winter had sent a goblin, but what a wretched creature! He was small, frightened, doubtless low-ranking -- unless he was a singularly skilled actor, and Sini did not get that impression from his behavior. She couldn’t be sure what Pearl’s sing-song rhyme meant, save perhaps the death of the emissary -- and that would bode ill for Spring, should it happen in the Archon’s lands. Still, she saw a sharp mind behind his fear. Doubtless he would report as much as he could back to Arys of the workings of Spring’s court, and he might learn much. His words brought confirmation -- one that seemed useless, but was clever and focused on learning: a dangerous combination. The would have to tread softly around him, but there was potential as well. If the goblin could be swayed to support Spring he might be useful, though it was far too early to know if that was likely.

Still, Sini could appreciate intelligence, be it friend or foe. She would have liked to get to know the new arrival personally, but it seemed Nyx had an assignment for her that would take her far from home. He wished her to serve the Queen of Winter as an advisor for a time. “I am honored by the trust you place in me, m’lord,” she said, inclining her head, taking his words as permission to join the conversation. Now she stepped forward, moving towards the goblin until she loomed over him, her armor gleaming in the light that filtered down from above. Still, the smile she gave him was sincere enough. The sylph was pleased by this turn of events for her own reasons, as well as those that were due to her loyalty to Spring. “It is a pleasure to meet you, Grexx,” she told him. “You may call me Ara. I hope we shall both serve each other’s courts to the satisfaction of our host rulers.”

@Belle@Prince of Seraphs
@Prince of Seraphs yerp, I missed that. ^.^; Well that solves that question -- I can totally call him Grexx, then.
