Of Hamilton & Yasmine
He'd hoped to have arrived back in Sylva in time to partake of the autumn festival, and with the aid of Circinae's water-teleportation ability, this had come to pass. The apples had been most juicy, the spectacle entertaining, the fire quite hot. Voltage had promptly removed himself from the scene once some of the guests decided the harvest-goddess' appearance wasn't to their liking and had reacted quite angrily, not wanting his hide to get singed. But now the fun was over and there was business to conduct, news to report. He seeks out the wraith King quite easily, following the trace of that particularly devious mind like a bloodhound tracking a scent until he is standing within Gryffen's actual presence. And my my, it seemed that there might already be an heir to Sylva in the works....the pale stallion and Thana had held a private celebration-within-the-celebration. The telepath makes a mental note to not get stuck doing any foalsitting. Particularly if it inherited the queen's wolfshifting ability, no thank you. Voltage had no interest in minding a bitey wolf cub. Approaching within a few feet of the cremello, he lowers his head respectfully in greeting. Though it had been many years since his time with the mercenaries, still he had been shaped by their ways. Gryffen was the king of this place the bay was still learning to call home, the bay stallion's superior, and thus would receive the respect due his position. Gathering his thoughts for a proper report, he lifts his eyes back up to meet the crimson gaze of his companion. He relates the population numbers of both Tephra and Ischia as they had been when he departed each land, then gets down to the main business. "Offspring claimed himself as Overseer of Tephra, and not its monarch...so it is possible that he was only serving as leader in between prior and future royalties. Ischia, upon the other hand, is no longer led by Ea. Our own fire-wolf's mother, Circinae, is now queen of the island. She extends to you and your "plus one" an invitation to visit Ichia in return for having been invited to Sylva's festival. It seems also that she is rather missing her son...she inquired after Crevan during our conversation. " He pauses, taking a moment to be amused, letting a playful grin form upon his black muzzle. "You put on quite a show with your Harvest Goddess. I think the other kingdoms will be talking about it for quite some time.....bravo. "
