A Crows Flight.

A heavy rain falls upon the city of Aanenburg, falling from the rooftops and onto the streets, the water falling upon a the House Carrion flag, drippling down onto Roy’s head. “M’Lord. We should take shelter from the rain.” “Da.” responded Roy.

As they walked towards the near by Inn, a clergy man approaches. “My prince…” the soaking man said. “I was but an alter boy when you were born, your father fought against the dwarves in the south with the bells rang in the North, the first prince and princess of Oren had been born.” he said as he approached the prince kneeling in the dirty streets. “Our prince has returned to us” he said, clenching his hands together looking towards the sky. “The creator has answered my prayers…” As the drenched man looks down upon the holyman, he offers his hand to him, pulling him to his feet. “I am afraid you are wrong.” he says as the rain droplets slide down his cheek. “The elections are upon us. Who knows what will happen?”

 

 

“Look look Dad! It’s the prince!” A young rugged child said pointing towards Roy as he runs up towards him. “Prince-man, what will become of our Empire?” He asked, looking up to Roy with a confused expression upon his face. “What ever Godan intends child.” Roy says. A laughing can be heard in the background, followed by the sounds of clapping. “Roy, if you love streltesy so much, maybe should try living with? Da?” A voice says in the distance, Roy looks to his right for seeing his cousin Godferik. “Brains of dimwit and offspring of a tyrant, man who leaves his family because Siegmund did not leave throne to him? Crown suited my pappa better.” Roy says in a firm and direct voice. A grunt can be heard as Godferik approaches Roy, the child runs back to his father. “Niet, your father was fool and you the offspring of fool, am just like Gobbo but dumber. Now play with filfth people like dog in street.” Godferik says as he stands firmly infront of the Prince. Roy moves closer to Godferik, bringing his head closer he says “Without these “filfth” as you call them, you would not be living in a Palace, you would starve throughout the winter, perish in war. These people have bled and died for our family. Yet you spite them as if they were beneath you.”

 

 

Steps can be heard as they tap against the Palace’s stone brick floor, “Avgust. We are leaving this place. We are leaving this place and never returning. Feed the crows, they fly tonight.” A simple nod is given from Avgust as he rushes off to find ink and parchment. The message reads…

“To the vassals of Roy of House Carrion, our good Lord has deemed it decided it is time for us to exodus the lands of Orenia, and start a new one. Those who remain are to serve House Carrion as they have served Roy. Those who wish to continue serving Roy are to meet at the Cloud Temple. We intend to start a new settlement, a settlement in which the people have a say in what is done. A settlement in which the great decisions are not made by one group of people, hidden behind closed doors deciding what is better for them, and the people.

Ave Oren.”

The carrion pommel is stamped onto the letters individually, the crows are fed their mutton and fly from the capital. The loud sounds of squawking can be heard in the distance as they leave.

“The Independent town of Pravets.” The final sentence said by Roy as he stands at the gates of Aanenburg prepared to leave.

Corbett begins to clap slowly as he obtains the letter.

Godferik shakes his head at the false propaganda "The quite obvious exaggeration, made by an insolent boy who calls strelts filth, and who has done nothing to uphold tradition. Calls me an imposer and threatens to have me killed, never said I an insult to Heinrik, or regarding Heinrik, but if that is what the boy wishes to spread.. May Godani punish him upon his perishing.."

Avgust stands at the Cloud Temple, blade sheathed and at the ready as he awaits others.

Kristoff shakes his head slowly "Lies...Gofriek lives with his people, he never called 'filth' to anyone...May the All Mighty Creator have mercy on the poor soul that is Roy..." 

[3andD 1722]

Pavel Ostrovic Carrion-Horen shakes his head, "He has dishonored our family, and my line. For that I will not forget, Roy is a weak crow to flee when the nest needs him."

[AIHuman 81]

Pyetr beings to set up his tiny shop among the small settlement with a smile across his face and a lift in spirit as he walks and strides around. He thinks to himself about how the Carrions are finally back in power where they should be and how Godferik has begun the resurrection of the real strelesy and Raevir culture.

 

He then receives word of the so-called Raevir Prince that has not done much for Carrion and his face goes awry at the news.

Jeramo Vladislavich looks up after receiving the news, "Who?"
