So many had gone. Too many. It definitely breaks her rule of no more than three. Though she had suggested, with something more of a command, that everyone but Prague and Sunday leave the Falls. They were lucky that Texas had decided to help them at all, that the sisters in their haste hadn’t just dumped Scorch into the waters not understanding how they worked. rhy the electric lioness of riagan and rayelle RE: and when i breathed - lagertha - Lagertha - 09-11-2015 this will never end, ‘cause i want more, more, give me more Before she talks to anyone else, before she makes proclamations and starts to change the Kingdom and by default, Beqanna, she wants to talk to Rhy. Lagertha is well aware of her lack of diplomacy skills, though she likes to think that some would call that straightforwardness refreshing. Regardless of what the other monarchs would think, she is not as familiar with all the kingdoms as the gold and white woman is. They are at a branching in the path, and there are many options to weigh. Of one thing she is certain: the Jungle, who is her family, comes first. She will not be angling to put her children on thrones. Also, she only has one son - and he has been a sore disappointment. Lagertha has been waiting for her return, springing forward when she smells Rhy, and already on the move when the request comes. The horned queen comes into view, moving towards the center of the clearing at an easy trot. When they meet, Lagertha’s nose brushes lightly against Rhy’s shoulder, because the truth of the matter is that while Rhy has Kratos, Lagertha only has Rhy. She could be Khaleesi without her friend and sister, but she doesn’t want to be without the mare at her side. “Glad to have you back. How is she?” When Rhy tells her, she nods and then shrugs a little, and moves on. There is nothing she can do, and there’s no point in pretending to bemoan the woman’s state. Not that she wanted Scorch to be ill, or lose a child, but… maybe it’s karma. “I’m sure it almost goes without saying, but you’re my Erinak. No one else could be.” lagertha carnage x grim reaper; amazonian khaleesi RE: and when i breathed - lagertha - Rhy - 09-11-2015 and when i breathed my breath was lightning Perhaps they should be Co-Khalessi’s, but Rhy has never sought the throne. She wasn’t upset when Scorch gave it to Lagertha, and if everything else hadn’t been so dire at the time, Rhy would have laughed at Scorch’s reason why. It was entirely true. Lagertha may have bowed to Rhy as Queen, but she would have murdered Scorch in her sleep. Or with eyes wide open. Either way, Rhy’s fiery friend would quite dead. rhy the electric lioness of riagan and rayelle RE: and when i breathed - lagertha - Lagertha - 09-13-2015 this will never end, ‘cause i want more, more, give me more She exhales heavily and surveys the open clearing. “I wouldn’t call them bloodriders exactly, but as far as advisors go… Tantalize and Prague have both ruled before… but Prague is arguably unreliable sometimes. And I don’t know them as well as I would like. What are your thoughts on working closely with them?” If utilized correctly, the four of them could combine their knowledge to be a very effective force. Is it, however, the smartest move to promote them so quickly? She knows they’re both on her side (mostly), but perhaps a long walk with each of them is in order first. All of a sudden, everything has become ten times more complicated. lagertha carnage x grim reaper; amazonian khaleesi RE: and when i breathed - lagertha - Rhy - 09-14-2015 and when i breathed my breath was lightning “Be careful what you wish for,” she says. Wanting to raid may not be as far in the future as they think, or would wish, because they aren’t that strong. Not that she’s heard of any plans against the Amazons, and she doesn’t think there are any. But she knows her cousin, and she can’t be pleased with the number of successful and attempted steals on the Chamber from the Amazons. Another nudge or two, and she wouldn’t put it past Straia to be the one starting the raid. Rhy knows very well what manner of creatures live in that kingdom, and she is even more familiar with its Queen. Not that Straia and Rhy have ever been close, as far as family goes, but the familial connection has come in handy at times. "If we poke the Chamber enough, they might just beat you to it." rhy the electric lioness of riagan and rayelle RE: and when i breathed - lagertha - Lagertha - 09-16-2015 I am iron and I forge myself Lagertha is ambitious, yes, and eager, and those two can be a very interesting (and even compulsive) combination. But she isn’t stupid, which is why she is going to keep Rhy at her side. To tell her No. To shock the blood-thirstiness back into control. “I agree. I’m honestly not trying to provoke anyone at the moment, at least until we get alliances set up. But it may happen sooner, rather than later. Joscelin has a captive from the Chamber, and Liz rescued a Chamberling girl from her father, at the mother’s request. And earlier I tried to steal their Lord and head diplomat… before everything changed.” That, she couldn’t possibly have known might affect things later on. It wasn’t successful, anyway. So there is no reason for the Chamber to get their panties in a twist. “I know we aren’t strong enough to hold off a serious attack by ourselves, or to even make a dent on a worthy target. Trust me, I won’t throw our Sisters into danger unless they want to go, and success seems more than likely.” She pauses, knowing that this sets her plans back at least a year, maybe more. It’s ok, though. It’s the smart thing to do. “With that in mind, I would be careful about who you send to the Chamber. A warrior should accompany a skilled diplomat or two.” To make sure they all return, safe and sound. Just in case. The very real possibility that they don’t return would mean war. She’s never heard of a Kingdom kidnapping another’s peaceful envoys, but there is a first time for everything. And if a Kingdom wanted revenge? If they wanted to stir things up? It is what Lagertha would do, in all honesty. Make someone come to her, where she has the advantage of knowing the land and being able to use a sort of guerilla warfare within the Jungle’s depths. It is suicide to try and attack the Amazons within their home unless the enemy has a vastly superior force, which is why she will not raid unless it is with an ally, or the target is… smaller, or their force rapidly grows. “I think that distinguishment is something Scorch had trouble with,” she murmurs, recalling the various rapid promotions and demotions she received at the hairless rat’s command. “I’ll think on it some more… ask them if they’re up to the task.” There is no sense on forcing the role on someone who does not think they can handle it. Or want it. Lagertha sighs and smiles, turning to scratch an itch on her flank with the tips of her horns. God, that was so much easier now! And then she turns back to Rhy with a slight smile, asking, “Do you have any concerns, or things you want to talk about before I call the meeting?” Lagertha warrior queen of the amazons [yaaay funky BQ time, haha. ALSO HAVE I MENTIONED THAT I LOVE THIS HTML???] RE: and when i breathed - lagertha - Rhy - 09-17-2015 and when i breathed my breath was lightning There are plenty of reasons for the Chamber to get their panties in a twist. And the number one reason? Because they are the Chamber. Because despite the fact the divisions of good and evil and all that are gone, they are still the Chamber. And Straia is still Straia. She is not kind, or compassionate, or particularly concerned about any loss of life. And neither are most of the horses that follow her. They seek blood, and chaos, and destruction for the sake of it. rhy the electric lioness of riagan and rayelle |
