Xarkly 12713 Popular Post Share Posted December 22, 2023 IN THE NAME OF THE QUEEN Spoiler The hooves of Villorik’s mare crunched against the frosted earth. The wind stirred the warpriest’s greying, raven locks as he trot down the Heartlands road. He had long since left behind him the ruined pearly stones of Breakwater, the gaping craters of Brasca, and the trodden expanse of Westmark the night before. Now, as the spring sun peeked its head over the tree-lined horizon and cast long, golden shadows across the land, he entered the borders of Veletz proper. He gave his mare’s neck an idle path as he kept his narrowed eyes fixed on the road ahead. His grey-black cloak shifted in the wind whenever it gusted, and, as the sun’s golden rays grew longer and brighter, the light flashed against the hilt of his platemail, his the daemonsteel sabre belted to his waist, and the silverworked Hussariyan cross around his neck. He passed a few serfs about their morning work,who eyed him with scepticism from afar as they tried to discern whether he was a lone raider, but he passed them without a second glance. By the time the sun had reared its head in full, he came to the first hamlet some hours south of Brasca. When they noticed the mailed horseman, the roughspun-clad serfs gripped their pitchworks, hoes, and hammers as they huddled together near the hamlet’s well, and wives ushered their children inside in frantic voices as the men stared Villorik down. The Friar brought his mare to heel some thirty feet for them, and for a moment he only watched their grim-set faces. Finally, he reached to his waist, but it was not his sword he drew. “I require a message delivered,” he said calmly, and the sun sparkled on the mina in Villorik’s hand. By midday, that message reached Winhburg. _____________________ “You who are taken by the Shadow, I am the Friar Villorik. I come in the name of Amaya of Venzia, Queen of Haense, White Flame of Valdev. I come alone. Send unto the field a son of Horen to duel in your name, and the Light shall favour the righteous victor. I will come at the tolling of the Terces bell tomorrow.” Spoiler dm if you want to set up a pk duel tomorrow, assuming the rp doesn't get voided by mods due to the investigation 40 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
