OPEN POST: THE ANNIVERSARY



THE ANNIVERSARY


[It's been exactly two years since Mithos took over Paradisa. That's two years of delightful massacres, scaring people into the Dead Zone, and manipulating former friends with the ageless face of a Kharlan hero. Two years of your character struggling to hold onto life as they know it while under the shadow of a fearsome ruler from another world. Two years of scraping to get by, cowering in the Dead Zone, waiting for a chance to go home or a death that Paradisa can't-- won't-- give.

There is nothing planned for today, though there are a few whimsical sort of changes that Mithos called for. The angels are on security detail as usual, policing the grounds; however, Mithos and his closest subordinates may be stepping outside. There is a grand feast set up in the ballroom... but angels don't eat, so it's really just for show. The place has the air of a graveyard party where even the dead decide not to attend.

There is an undercurrent of anxiety tonight, a breath held in anticipation. Something is about to happen, and even the insects are quiet.]

I had to. [ It was not a choice she made easily. ] When I conquered the Slavers Bay, the cities I left behind fell to chaos. If I could not hold them what hope did I have of ruling Westeros.

You have no hope as long as you remain there. Even dragons don't reach that far.

[ She would say more, but she stops. Shakes her head. ]

It doesn't matter. Come, Nymeria.

[ Let's not have her far from flameproof direwolf near a grumpy dragon. ]

I know. [ It angers her, though she knows her city will not crumble to ruin without her, she still wants to be free of this place's clutches. ]

You are leaving?
wolfchild: (acquiescence ❱❰)

[personal profile] wolfchild 2013-03-14 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
Drogon will need meat. It's too dangerous to let him fly. If he's spotted, we'll be found.
draca: (breaker of chains.)

[personal profile] draca 2013-03-14 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
[ She lets go of the breath she did not realize she was holding. ]

Words cannot begin to express my gratitude Arya, please be safe and I shall try to keep him from flying.
wolfchild: (shadow ❱❰)

[personal profile] wolfchild 2013-03-14 12:44 am (UTC)(link)
[ Again, she hesitates. Words tumble senselessly in her head, crowd her throat. In the end, she leaves without a word. Her wings blink into being before she drifts down the mountainside. Nymeria follows her at a brisk pace. ]
draca: (slayer of lies.)

[personal profile] draca 2013-03-14 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
[ Daenerys does not like it, again she thinks of the one hundred and sixty three children nailed along the road to Meereen, and she wants to call Arya back. To hold her close and keep her safe. But Arya can take care of herself, a voice says, Arya is as strong as her wolf.

I am the blood of the dragon.

Swallowing the lump in her throat she turns and heads deeper into the cave, past the stone doorway melted open by dragonfire and into the nest of her wild child.

There she will wait, while Drogon's mood allows it, beside Balerion reborn for the girl and her wolf. ]
wolfchild: (knight ❱❰)

[personal profile] wolfchild 2013-03-14 01:10 am (UTC)(link)
[ Arya returns several hours later, alone, hauling a deer with her. She brings it inside the cave. Her wings cast a dim shimmering light on the walls. ]

Daenerys.
draca: (breaker of chains.)

[personal profile] draca 2013-03-16 02:43 am (UTC)(link)
[ Drogon smells the kill before the girl reaches him and stirs, stretching wings and jaw as she comes into eye shot. A command from Daenerys stills him from snatching it off her, but it is clear the dragon is not pleased. ]

You have returned.

[ She blinks, a puzzled look falling onto her features. ]

Where is Nymeria?
wolfchild: (pause ❱❰)

[personal profile] wolfchild 2013-03-16 02:50 am (UTC)(link)
Still climbing. I want you to meet someone.

[ She heads back a ways and grabs Bunny's elbow. ]

This is Ser Rabbit. He's my sworn sword. [ Sworn Boomerang if you want to get technical.

And she has no idea only she and the animals can see him. w h o o p s
]
wilder: (what is this I don't even)

[personal profile] wilder 2013-03-16 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
[At this point he was sitting nearby, sharpening his sword.]

[When she starts talking to air...he'll side eye at Dany]

[He swears this isn't a side effect of being an angel okay]
thatrabbitsdynamite: (No wait what)

[personal profile] thatrabbitsdynamite 2013-03-16 03:02 am (UTC)(link)
[Yeah he probably should have mentioned that, oops. He'll waves a paw, but when that gets no response, he'll clear his throat]

There's something about me you need to know. People? They can only see me when they believe in me. Otherwise, I'm invisible.
draca: (silver lady.)

[personal profile] draca 2013-03-16 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
[ With his meal free to be devored, Drogon takes it between his teeth and retreats further into his nest. For a brief moment the entire cave is filled with the hot air of his flames.

Daenerys is unbothered, eyes narrowed in confusion as Arya presents her sworn sword. There is no one there. ]


Arya... [ How do you tell a child who has suffered so much that her mind may have fractured.

Her mouth opens to speak, only to be silence by the rumble from Drogon midst his meal. If he could speak he would certainly be asking what that unfamiliar smell is.

And if he could eat it. ]
wolfchild: (doubt ❱❰)

1/2

[personal profile] wolfchild 2013-03-16 03:16 am (UTC)(link)
[ You don't. That's how.

Arya looks from Zelos and Dany's confused faces to Bunny.
]

Is this a jape?

[ But it couldn't be because it's not funny and he wouldn't have been able to tell them anything anyway. ]
wolfchild: (order ❱❰)

[personal profile] wolfchild 2013-03-16 03:16 am (UTC)(link)
[ Angry, she rounds on Bunny. ]

You couldn't have told me that before I looked like mad?!
wilder: (buh?)

[personal profile] wilder 2013-03-16 03:17 am (UTC)(link)
[Yep, this is just getting weirder and weirder]

...Everything okay, my little wolf?
thatrabbitsdynamite: (No ordinary bunny)

[personal profile] thatrabbitsdynamite 2013-03-16 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
Streuth! I didn't know you'd just announce me like that.

[He frowns, before pulling out an old paintbrush from his bandoleer, the fibres of the brush stiff from disuse. Still, it would serve its purpose.

Very carefully, he starts to draw a rabbit on the floor of the cave
]
draca: (stormborn.)

[personal profile] draca 2013-03-16 03:33 am (UTC)(link)
[ The dragon rumbles again from his nest, before letting out a short roar. Oh, he knows that there is something there which is more than enough to convince Daenerys.

Well, the rabbit drawn on the floor by air also helps. ]


This Ser Rabbit, he is there? [ What a funny name for a knight. ] Why can I not see him?
wolfchild: (monsters ❱❰)

[personal profile] wolfchild 2013-03-16 03:36 am (UTC)(link)
[ Arya takes a deep breath. She feels like she's being brought before Ned again to answer for whatever latest escapade she was discovered at. ]

He says people can only see him when they believe in him. Else he is invisible.

[ Now that she thinks about it, that makes sense. ]

Is that why I could not hear you either before Nymeria found you?
Edited (IT'S MIDNIGHT SHUT UP) 2013-03-16 03:37 (UTC)
wilder: (he just sensed Snake)

[personal profile] wilder 2013-03-16 03:40 am (UTC)(link)
[He'll glance over at the dragon's nest before he notices the drawing of the rabbit on the floor. Okay, since he knows Arya can't do telekinesis...there had to be something there]

About...how much do we have to believe in him?

[Because let's face it, Zelos isn't a trusting person ON A GOOD DAY]
thatrabbitsdynamite: (And to move on)

[personal profile] thatrabbitsdynamite 2013-03-16 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
That's exactly why you couldn't see me, little brumby. [Which hurts to say, to have a child forget him...to become invisible to them. It was like Easter 2012 all over again]

I'm the Easter Bunny...though I doubt either of them would know me by that name. But belief that someone like me can exist should do it.

...It used to do it.
draca: (blood of old valyria.)

[personal profile] draca 2013-03-16 03:53 am (UTC)(link)
[ Another short roar and Daenerys turns her head, she too is not one who trusts easily these days... however she does trust her dragon. ]

Drogon, eat.

[ She will believe, as difficult as it is, she will and when she turns her head she sees him.

It is not what she expected, not in the slightest. She thought he was a knight, armored and tall with sword by his side, instead what she sees a a tall grey rabbit. ]


I see him.

[ And for a moment she thinks she is mad. ]
wolfchild: (afraid ❱❰)

[personal profile] wolfchild 2013-03-16 03:57 am (UTC)(link)
He says believing he can exist is—you can?!

[ Dany is looking at Ser Rabbit so apparently she can.

Proof she is not crazy! Arya wins!
]
wilder: (oh huh)

[personal profile] wilder 2013-03-16 04:02 am (UTC)(link)
[Meanwhile for Zelos, just believing that something like that could exist? Reaaally not that hard when you come from a land of Summon Spirits, magic and Katz. Talking rabbits that are invisible unless you believe? Not that far a leap]

[So he'll blink a couple times with this info, and suddenly there is a giant rabbit- just like Arya said. He's slightly surprised, but nowhere near as phased as Dany because well- Katz.]


Huh!

What a clever trick.

thatrabbitsdynamite: (Tonight WE RIDE)

[personal profile] thatrabbitsdynamite 2013-03-16 03:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[Either there's a giant rabbit here now or you've all succumbed to some horrible brain fungus. Bunny with give an awkward sort of wave. It's been a while since he's had to do that interacting with people thing]

G'day.
