EmiliainWonderland 2311 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Eryane Rhodon: Hearts and Minds 11th Godfrey’s Triumph, 1909 ~The Knights of Petra conversing in Castle Moere circa 1909~ As the trial commenced, Renilde didn't show as much as Eryane wished she did. Perhaps if this was settled peacefully, none of the events would've occurred that lead to the deaths of friends and family. As soon as Eryane stepped foot into the Castle Moere, it was clear others weren't far behind, for it seemed the Ferrymen had made their way just after she arrived. She was prepared to leave, yet it was nice to see the faces of her friends and family during such a hard time of conflict, so she lingered. Perhaps if she hadn't, she could've lived a life oblivious. The Castle was taken over in a flurry of swords, axes, and arrows. The sound of rushing flames and draconic roars emanate from other rooms. Eryane tried to flee, a neutral party in the ongoing affairs, but was quickly detained. At first they told her she was free to go, before another ferryman, Avalloc, found her and captured her. She witnessed these mercenaries attempt to detain a monk before Cardinal Viktor bravely raised his hand, calling upon their sense of faith to spare him. They were eventually let go to assist as medics to assist the dead and dying. As the day stretched ever onwards, bound on the floor and unable to move, Eryane heard the shrill screams of Constanz' supporters and ferrymen all fighting for their lives. The sounds she heard broke her heart yet she tried to distract herself nonetheless. Screams of children, screams of her darling niece Evangeline with no way to know if she was dead or alive. A body was dragged in, Wings, as they called him. He came to fight. Eryane was proud of the man's spirit and willpower. She knew Wings too was likely just as heartbroken over Evangeline's cries. Though she witnessed none of the deaths, she knew many had occurred. The one she did witness was the thing that truly broke her heart. Ser Arthur de Lyons. The man was dragged in by the priests and the Cardinal. Trying to keep him alive, they did everything they could. Eryane watched as the men surrounded him before they all came to a common conclusion. Ser Arthur couldn't be saved… The man succumbed to his wounds, burnt and bloodied. As the medics moved away, she saw the body. She stared in disbelief at the man who had helped her in one of her hardest times, dead before her. She could not show weakness. She would not show weakness. Instead, she continued her conversation with her captor. Awaiting whatever fate had in store for her, she signed the holy cross over herself. In her heart she whispered what she knew was now true… "Glory to the rightful Archduke of Petra, Constanz of Balian." 24 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andustar 4143 Share Posted January 27, 2023 At rest within the Seven Skies, a stubborn but chivalrous Knight looked down upon the congregation of his countrymen. Whether they emerged victorious from the coming battle or were slain to the last, he would greet them in peace all the same when their time came. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoebe202 1057 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Laetitia held her mother's hand, now, in Balian -- where they had made their escape to following the trial. "It will be okay soon, Maman." She offered as reassurance, a weak smile crossing her lips. "Soon the war will be over and we can live in peace once more." 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

"And you'll finally get to meet the rest of our family." 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sprtn 3340 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Santiago wondered why the part where the woman, Eryane, being flirtatious with one of his ferrymen colleague during the raid wasn't mentioned. Now THAT would have made this missive more interesting! 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rukio 8924 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Nehtamo Ibarellan, despite the near constant work of being a medic with the priests, could not help but briefly smirk later on. The flirtations of Avalloc with Eryane in such trying times were commendable, even if the moment was tragic. He grew to respect the green bandana'd man after the fact, after he had wept for the unsavable Arthur. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

She is getting on in years and has been unmarried for too long, what's an old girl got to lose trying to befriend someone? 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
