This was the way the night had cashed in. Choices had been made and things happened, and here we were. It was sad, and funny. My life was made of this. Stuff like this.
It's been such a long time since he's done this. Since he's led a new face back to the kingdom that was so deeply his home. It was nice this feeling of success that came with this trip. As they walked along the large pathway towards the Valley he told the mare of the tall pines trees, the dark blue waters that mimicked dark sapphires with white crested waves against the shoreline. How the mountaintops were always covered in snow and the sides were decorated a beautiful variety of grays as they popped up out of the trees in the distance.
He talks forever it seems and then he tells her of the wolves, the Valleys protectors, as they came to a stop at a line of pines. Quickly they shot towards the sky towering tall over the pair and with a smile quirking at the edges of his lips he looked up towards the tops allowing the warm sun to shine across his face before turning his head back towards the mare as though he were turning to look at her.
"This is where we enter." Infront of them was a small opening in the thickly placed together trees and with a deep breath he turned his head and then stepped forward, disappearing into the forest that decorated the outer most edges of the kingdom. He stops a few feet in, waiting for her patiently with a soft smile on his face and when she reaches him he continues forward.
"The Valley has quite a reputation Iona. It has been a strong force for many generations and it has always taken very good care of it's members." At this point he's not just referring to his fellow members but the kingdom itself. The goddess of the Valley and it's magic had always made sure to take care of it's most loyal. "We also occasionally have others that are on our side as well more so than than rest."
"We are currently allied with another kingdom, the Chamber. It's queen's name is Straia. Those Raven's you seen above us..." he pauses for a moment, allowing her to look into the trees and spot the small black birds sitting in twos or threes among the branches. "They belong to her and they carry the comings and goings to her. She knows of all of us here in the Valley and we willingly allow it as she means us no harm."
Slowly he leads her into the clearing that sat at the center of the valley where the sun shone softly through the leaves causing a soft golden and green glow against the trunks of the trees and the grass that spread out across the small meadow. "There are a few others here right now. But we are working on building our numbers." He smiles a bit apologetically now. "So it may seem a bit lonely for a bit but don't feel like your imposing. We welcome the company."
The statement is genuine. He knows he and Rhonan wouldn't mind her following them about for a while. "One of the faces you'll most likely run into is Rhonan. He is my closest friend at the moment, and our fellow kingdom member. He is a bit different... But he is most interesting. I think you'll like him."
Coming to a stop he smiles back at the mare. "Welcome, Iona. To the Valley."
