Crow's Fall

[erictafoya 3276]

Erik lets out 100 crows in honor of the late King Marius, who has given him the opportunity to teach the Young King Andrik, third of his name and King of Haensetti Ruska. He looks up into the sky and talks saying “Your Majesty, I will not let you down. I shall watch over the boy and teach him the best I can in not just the art of Falconry, but also morality.

Ser Rodrik would frown upon the news – his gaze locked upon the fireplace on Fort Korstadt as he heard of the death of Marius, he’d shake his head while mumbling some words ”I hoped for Marius to exchange a few words with me before this happened, I hoped for my own blade to do this, I wouldn’t have given him such a horrendous death, once brothers, then enemies, although it seems only one shall overcome this war... Rest in peace Barbanov, may you join your father in the skies and watch upon your people. I wish you wouldn't have joined in this foolish rebellion...

Otto Tuvic, the remaining son of late King Robert would let out a sigh from his room in the palace – a sorrowful expression overcoming the child’s features ”I never had a father present, neither a mother – Marius was all I had, Oh Papej, how I miss you, now you? Marius... I can’t believe you’re gone too, it seems I’m alone, all over again, this war has taken everything from me, my family, my kin...”

[Ivoreyy 2303]

Mariya Angelika Barbanov, the firstborn child of Marius and Valera, retreats into the comfort of the fields outside of Reza. The headstrong youth truly knew not of how to think, nor act. She spends hours beside her dear, perhaps only friend Vladrick, revelling in the bliss of distraction. But when night fell she found herself seated alone by the river, looking upward at the collection of stars. Surely GOD had found issue with her, for the losses of her Mother, Brother and Father, as well as the Aeldin-bound absentia of her sister, had taken its toll.

 

It was when she rose again that the little crow, for first time in her life, felt truly alone.

The now boy King Andrik simply sat on the courtyard playing with some wooden toy horses. As some retainers entered the courtyard the young boy simply looked up and gave them a toothy grin “Look at this horse! I want to show papej my horse! Where’s papej!?” the retainers would go solemn and quiet for a moment as the boy once more shouted “WHERE’S PAPEJ!?”
