Jakub passes the border of his homeland the sulfuric smell encasing his nose. He smiled as he witnessed Leliana's flowers blooming sporadically through the still ashen covered ground. He does not mean to stay long but he needs to talk to his queen. He has been searching for months for Tephrans dropped amongst Beqanna, only to come up empty handed. He could see by glancing around that a few had found their own way back, pawing at the ground looking for summer eats, resting in the heat of the summers sun and the heat of her volcano. It was reassuring that not all are avoiding the land after her destruction.
He made his way across the open expanse, stopping momentarily under the cover of the trees that had fought back and won. Cracked and broken as they may be they were a sign of resistance.
He continued towards the beach, making sure to avoid the flowers Leliana had placed amongst the ground. The thought of his queen sent nerves through his body. The last time he had seen her was less than ideal. The party he curiously wondered into had not ended how he had hoped. He had left abruptly, he could not face her after Vulgaris had revealed her identity.
He dipped his head picking a single flower, a red daisy. A red flower in loyalty to his red queen, that is what he had intended. At least that is what he had told himself.
As his hooves sank into the sandy, white, ashened beach he let the flower fall from his lips catching the hot air and floating softly to the ground. Serving his Queen is the only intention he could have. Right now he needed to inform her of his progress and maybe delve into her mind for some guidance. His hooves toed the blue green ocean waters and then he walked in to submerge himself, a cool relief under the heat of the summer sun and the magma's scar splayed across his back.
JAKUB
and out he came, holding his brothers heel
