Never under estimate dreams and the power of the spirit - Magnus; any - Jakub - 04-21-2019 Jakub followed the King in mostly silence, only stopping to ask questions about the territories. He observed the lands they traveled through and the residence that inhabited them. He memorized as much as he could, taking in anything that may be helpful in his future endeavours and out of the curiosity that was bound to accompany his young age. As they passed the Loess he inhaled deeply taking in the vast greenery of the land. A place of tranquility if he so needed, he thought. They replenished at a fresh spring before moving on to the land named Sylva. The forest was dense despite the Autum season beginning to claim its cover. As they passed through Jakub could feel the stiffness in his muscles begin, this wasn't the unavoidable tiredness of travel that made it's way through his body. It was more of a sickness, something small he picked up along the way? Jakub shrugged it off and kept following his new King to his final destination. As they made their way to the heart of Tephra Jakub because more aware, pushing past the relentless exhaustion that finally claimed its territory. So, this is your kingdom? he said matter of factly. What do I need to know of your land to be all I can? he continued shaking his head to clear the drowsy from his eyes. This too, whatever it may be, he will fight through. Weak was not in his nature. @[magnus] RE: Never under estimate dreams and the power of the spirit - Magnus; any - magnus - 04-30-2019 MAGNUS | I don't belong to anyone, but everybody knows my name @[Jakub] RE: Never under estimate dreams and the power of the spirit - Magnus; any - Jakub - 05-01-2019 Jakub nodded as Magnus talked. A place for him to belong, a smile curled at his lips momentarily and disappeared almost as quickly. Jakub was young still, and as much as he hated to admit it he had a desire to please others. The King may not be his father, in fact he was nothing like his father. His father had been old and weak minded Jakub reminded himself, he never accepted me always thought of me as a threat when he was anything but. Magnus, Jakub was convinced, was worthy of his loyalty and he wanted to please his King. Would you like to rest? It's been a long day. Magnus offered Jakub, probably noticing the weariness he had been fighting against. Jakub thought for a moment as he took in the lands of Tephra one more time, I would like to learn from you, Magnus. Jakub said turning his face towards the stallion My father never took interest in me. He was scared to teach me how to lead, and always held me at a distance when it came to his herd. He was worried that instead of supporting him and devoting my loyalty to him, I would rise above him. I want to be a great leader some day don't get me wrong but I believe that to be a great leader I must follow a great leader. I want to be a loyal servant to Tephra and to you. Jakub bowed his head towards Magnus tickling his lips with the grass growing fresh from the ground. He twitched his ears as he pulled his head back up slowly to meet Magnus eyes, to some his need to serve may sound weak and needy but to Jakub it was a necessity to become great. @[magnus] RE: Never under estimate dreams and the power of the spirit - Magnus; any - magnus - 05-05-2019 MAGNUS | I don't belong to anyone, but everybody knows my name @[Jakub] RE: Never under estimate dreams and the power of the spirit - Magnus; any - Jakub - 05-06-2019 Jakub watched Magnus as he thought over Jakub's request. His mind wondered over the faces of his father and mother. He couldn't go through that again, he needed someone to believe in him. He needed someone to believe in the good that he could do. He always dreamed of glory, failure wasn't an idea that he could consider and keep amusing in his mind. To be a great leader, you must always be a servant. That's the first lesson to learn. To be first, you must be last. Magnus said as he came to meet Jakub's gaze once again. A simple thing, to be a servant, but as the words left Magnus lips Jakub could feel just how important this first lesson meant to Magnus. Jakub could only guess at the trials and tribulations Magnus had been through. Jakub had no idea how long Magnus has lead this volcanic land or served beneath her. Jakub nodded in agreement. He was prepared to do what ever Magnus asked of him or any of Tephra's inhabitants.It would be an honor to teach you, Jakub. I have no doubt you will grow to be a fine leader Jakub was filled with something he hadn't felt before as Magnus accepted his request to teach him, and hearing the stallions words. He believed in Jakub. No-one except his mother had ever made him feel worthy. A smile threatened to break his now solid demeanor, tugging at the crook of his mouth I am prepared to serve in what ever ways are necessary or needed here. What ever it is that I can do or when ever you have need of me, I'll be there. Jakub looked towards his new home, pride for his king and his land settling in his heart. He would not mess this up, Magnus, thank you. he said turning his attention back to his King. If you don't mind, I think I would like to go and get to know my new home and those I will be serving. Jakub motioned towards the vast expanse before them. @[magnus] |
